Thank you for filming and posting this, I wish there was more content out there on North Carolina, she's a beautiful and unique ship that isn't as well appreciated as the Iowa class ships.
I really enjoyed how nice the different compartments are preserved and viewable. It would have been nice to see the parachute riggers loft. Thanks for honoring our merchant sailors. We are often times unheard of as well as forgotten. Nice tour! 😁👍👍🇺🇸
Awesome tour. Looks great from the last time I saw her. I used to live about 10 minutes from the ship and visited several times. A couple of times my wife and I watched a Friday night movie on the fantail. Great experience. Even saw Mr. Roberts one night.
Absolutely Outstanding, this guided Tour of BB-55. My wife and I were fortunate to visit BB-63 in Pearl Harbour, back in 2005. Three hours on board passed by way too fast, the USS Missouri was That Interesting . ❤ 100% ❤ 🇺🇸 Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦
I remember visiting the U.S.S.NORTH CAROLINA (BB-55) back in 1984 before I enlisted in the Navy that November and there were absolutely no holes whatsoever in the Kingfisher.
I grew about a hour north of there outside the Marine base and it was a yearly or every other year thing. I recall when it was still battle ship gray 100% and they had just got new decks in the early 90s. Wilmington itself is such a historical place you got Ft. Fisher on the civil war trail go up 2 hours north you got Ft. Macon which is one of the best forts I have been to and I have been to a bunch lol
The kingfisher aircraft you guys being spoken of is that the same one that was supposed to be on the back of that Coast guard boat you were talking about on your own one of your last videos?
Nice guy but he kept getting the armor thickness wrong and other small mistakes, that don’t really matter but the mistakes surprised me considering his job. Good tour guide though.
Ok the history is not correct about it being the next most powerful since the Japanese Yamato. The South Dakota class had more armor and the Iowa class did as well.
I realize this guy is proud to work on it but it pisses me off that he always says "we" like he was there or something. NOT A SINGLE TIME he says "they" honoring the men who fought and died on that ship. I get the feeling hes a stolen valor type guy if you meet him at a bar
WOW NO MANNERS !! WHY IS THIS GUY CHEWING GUM ON AN INTERVIEW ???!!! THIS SHOWS LACK OF RESPECT FOR HIS JOB AND FOR THE MEN THAT SERVED ON THIS SHIP !!!
Maybe he has a medical condition that causes dry mouth and needs something to stimulate saliva to keep his mouth lubricated. For me it was all the “Ums and Uhs” most people do that without being conscious they are doing them.
LETS SEE HOW IT WOULD GO IF YOU CHEWED GUM ON DUTY OR HAS A SERVER IN A RESTAURANT,OR IN COURT IN FRONT OF A JUDGE ? ? APPARENTLY YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE TO WHAT SOCIAL MANNERS ARE !
I wonder, since the North Carolina was getting scavenged when it was in mothball, and they had to scavange parts from ships being scraped to replace the parts that had been scavenged from the NC, if they ever came across a part that originated on the NC. Maybe even after another part and someone told them, hey you might be interested in this, it actually came from th NC.
