All the details of the whole drydocking and pre-drydocking process are fascinating.

@DeviantOllam 9 месяцев назад

Totally! I very much hope that there will be at least one video dedicated to the simple yet gargantuan undertaking of the dry dock process itself. I mean, those large supports and other dunnage that we see beneath a dry docked ship, how do those get put in place? Are divers underneath there, maneuvering them by hand? Do modern dry docks have computer/ automation assistance in that process? I want to know it all. 😁

I'm really glad someone like Ryan is the curator for the New Jersey. He's always excited about everything going on with the ship. Given all of the work involved, only someone like him would have the drive to keep New Jersey afloat. Giving money to museums is money well spent in my opinion.

@DavidSmith-cx8dg 9 месяцев назад

Dredging the Solent for the new Aircraft Carriers brought up a few oddities including WW2 bombs , it's definitely an essential part of the planning to ensure the ship doesn't run aground and I'm glad you are on top of it .

@bdh985 9 месяцев назад

Gotta be honest, the thumbnail for this video reminded me of the old computer game "minesweeper". Lol 😅 In all seriousness, though, best of luck on the dry-docking! One of these days I'll travel back to NJ and take a tour when I'm there. I lived in the state for about a year but sadly never got the chance to go.

Something I would like to see, how do you verify that the mourning points for the tugs are up to the task? Corrosion is a potential risk. New Jersey looks to be in great shape, but I would imagine that there would be a good inspection of these points before you put too much load on them.

@dalesql2969 9 месяцев назад

something that has always puzzled me is that when the ship is up on blocks, you cant clean and paint underneath those blocks. I've heard mention of somehow being able to move the blocks around to get at those areas, but that's the extent that I've heard. An episode covering this would be interesting to me. also an episode or three about how drydocks work. and then the detailed minute by minute timeline of the drydocking which would then lead to episodes explaining each step. Also, if you need volunteers to be linehandlers and such for the actual move, I have vacation time to burn.

@BattleshipNewJersey 9 месяцев назад

Is pretty simple, after you paint it, you float the ship, move her a little bit then take the water back out and paint the bare parts

@KingdaToro 9 месяцев назад

They've covered this. They'll flood the drydock, move the ship a few feet so that the blocks will sit on painted parts of the hull, then clean and paint where the blocks previously were. This is really expensive, so they only want to do it once.

@Cirux321 9 месяцев назад

As far as capital ships donated and placed in museum status, the only ones I know of thats been dry docked is Intrepid, Massachusetts, Missouri and Texas with New Jersey coming up. The rest havent been dry docked since the last one the Navy did during inactivation for mothballing and storage.

@AvengerII 9 месяцев назад

I do believe they drydocked the Kitty Hawk before she was towed to Texas. They pressure-washed the hull to clear it of sealife. They didn't want to transplant to Texas what Kitty Hawk had on her hull prior to the last cleaning. They've changed the regulations for ship disposal and museum donation. It's a lot more expensive and complicated than it used to be. This is why the US Navy sold the 7 scrappable, oil-burning supercarriers for as little as they did. The wreckers wouldn't make any money off the scrap otherwise! If they could get away with it, the US Navy would probably sink more ships in weapons tests than they do now! At least the Kitty Hawk's disposal was more responsible than what the Brazilian Navy did with the Sao Paulo (ex-Foch). Sao Paulo had a lot of hazardous material on her. She was scuttled in 16,000 ft of water in the Atlantic. That whole episode from what I read was a mess. That ship had an inglorious career with the Brazilian Navy and spent more time in dock than the Russian supercarrier has! Prior to being scuttled, Sao Paulo had 3 big holes in her hull and they didn't think they could sell that ship to anyone and tow her across the ocean without sinking! They already tried this with a Turkish wrecking company but the carrier (Sao Paulo) was returned to Brazil because they didn't do a good job of cleaning her prior to disposal!

Looking at it from the other hard points is there a survey of the Hull to see how strong it's going to be when there's no water to support it & when it was built is there a survey information on how the hull was laid down.

If New Jersey is run aground is Ryan the one that faces court-martial?🤔

@dwayne7356 9 месяцев назад

I wonder who is responsible for the ship while being towed to drydock. I imagine that several tugs will be involved. I assume that they will have to put a pilot on board the Big J to direct the tugs. Ryan always talks about all the permissions that are required. He could do a video on who is responsible and how they directed the ship down the river either before or after the move. Do they contract with a tug boat company to supply a ship master (captain) to be on board during the move. If I was qualified, I do it for free just for the chance to move such a historical ship.

@ryder6070 9 месяцев назад

Serious Question: Interested in the Rigging involved in the Tow. Strong Points on Deck, Tug power involved....yeah

@HadToChangeMyName_YoutubeSucks 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, just paying for drydocking isn't the only cost of drydocking. You have to add in things like how much is it going to cost just to find out if we can even get her to the channel and how much is it going to cost for her to get to the channel if she can't get there without having to pay for something else to be done. I've always fixed my own cars, recently I decided to replace my Lincoln Towncar and found a really nice BMW I could afford but then I realized that I very likely can't fix it if it needs repairs, BMW parts are expensive, if it has to go into a shop it will make the repairs on something like an incredibly common 4.6 liter ford engine look cheap, so I bought what I've bought for over 20 years and know I have the tools and experience to fix (at least in many cases), a Towncar that's next gen to the one I currently own. One more replacement and I'll be at the last model Towncar, what I buy then I don't know, but I'm old enough to be near dead anyway so that may not be a problem.

@Aerospace_EdC 9 месяцев назад

Ryan appreciate the Wednesday drydock videos, there sure are a million details to coordinate and think about. It may be too early to answer this, but how many tugboats will be required to move the ship ?

@shopshop144 9 месяцев назад

How do prepare for the unexpected? I'm assuming you have a long list of everything that both you and the gov't wants done, plus there's probably conditions that wouldn't surprise you to find once the ship is on the blocks. But do you have any contingency plans if something unexpected shows up and requires a great amount of money and time. Who knows, maybe the dry dock is only available for an extra month, and you need three. I'm enjoying this series of videos.

@fredrtuck 9 месяцев назад

I noticed that Intrepid has 4 four bladed props while New Jersey has both 4 and 5 blade props presumably to reduce sympathetic vibration. Is this vibration less of a problem for carriers as they are not trying to be stable gun platforms?

@bizjetfixr8352 9 месяцев назад

Preferably, you minimize the vibration over the ships operating range. Check some online stuff about the problems with vibration in the North Carolinas. Terrible vibrations at high speeds, so bad that the #2 main battery director was unusable at top speed. Bracing was added to the superstructure supporting the gun director. They swapped four and five bladed props trying to minimize it. IIRC, they finally got a combination that moved the worth vibration down to the 16-18 knot range. The good news being her director didn't shake at 27 knots. The bad news is that it was moved to a speed that was close to fleet cruising speed, which meant everybody got a vibromassage in their bunks

@gunhog11 9 месяцев назад

Regarding the museum ships that have gone to dry dock and those that have not; is the carrier Yorktown ever going to drydock? I understand hee hull below the wind-water line has some serious issues. And is she embedded in the mud at her dock?

I like your channel and those channels, so I think it would be cool if it turned out that you could make something interesting with either of them.

@vxe6vxe6 9 месяцев назад

It's too bad that you can't build a permanent drydock facility to put the NJ into. It ship still floats, the drydock will keep storms from affecting the ship, mud won't get into the drydock and if you need to do hull maintenance you can drydock it in its berth.

2006 was not that long ago. I find it strange if not sloppy that whatever entities were associated with the financial support of Intrepid did not require audited accounting of the expenditures on this project. $60M to $115M is a pretty wide disparity when dealing with donations from small supporters. Why would anyone donate to supoort these ships if they cannot do a better job of accounting for funds spent?
