I'm American, so I don't want to sound bias... but Iowa class battleships are just beautiful.

I served on USS New Jersey BB-62 from 1989-1990...awesome experience. BadASS

I've never played this game but damn these documentaries are top notch. Deserve way more views than this.

64 years ago, I was 16 years old high school student, New Jersey battleship visited Keelung harbor Taiwan, I played hokey that day and took a tour for it ( only opening one day ). I like the tick-wood deck and cooking coffee and meat onion smell ( 20 minuets tour only at deck ). It is still vivid in my mind !

Azur lane: *releases USS NJ in a couple days* Me: I will make this my best battleship

My grandfather Thomas Langston served on the USS New Jersey during the Vietnam War, he just passed two days ago, may he rest in piece, a true hero.

Just got recommended this by RU-vid. It's almost like RU-vid knows Azur Lane just added USS New Jersey to the game and that they are related/partnered with World of Warships.

"Sir Enemy sip sighted" "Sir it's an Iowa Class!" "Sir it's The New Jersey" "Sir why are we abandoning ship"

Coming this Thursday to azur lane. Good luck to everyone building for her.

Im watching this while NJ moves to dry dock. March 21, 2024

60 years ago I was 16 and New Jersey visited Keelung Taiwan, I skip the class and took a tour at ship. The most impress me is the smell of coffee or the onion meat for supper time. Next day I brag to my classmates how much they have missed. Glad to see NJ again!

Such a beautiful ship, I was just on her visiting. As a Navy veteran, I was duly impressed. I was a submarine hunter working on SOSUS and we gave the Russians hell, but never served in a ship, though I visited many and stayed in board both the IKE and a the USS Glover for a few days each, but we knew we were protecting the fleet and our homeland. The Navy was and remains for me the greatest thing I ever did.

I was on the re-commissioning crew of the Big J in 1982. I reported onboard 5/82 until 5/84, including NGFS in Beirut. This was an awesome ship to serve on. The firepower we had was incredible.

I was already aware of WOW and Navel Legends and when AL released New Jersey, I absolutely had to come here to learn more about her!

I've toured the USS New Jersey and it is awe inspiring. FUN FACT: As part of the caretaking agreement between the Battleship New Jersey Museum and the United States Navy, the museum must not tamper with the preservatives the US Navy put into the engines. In times of national emergency, the US Navy reserves the right to reclaim the ship and put her back into action. I highly recommend touring an Iowa Class battleship.

I’ve been on the New Jersey She’s literally the best battleship I’ve ever walked and learned on

Really have to admire these battleships, beautiful lines and super fast for something that weighs 57,500 tons.

-The USS NJ is the most-decorated battleship in US history. -Fought WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon -Along with others in her class was the fastest battleship in history -The Iowas were improved versions of the North Carolinas, with higher speed, somewhat more advanced 16" guns, and better torpedo protection. -In fact when NJ was reactivated in the 1908s they had to scrounge parts from the NC to service her -The 16"/50 Mk VII fired a slightly lighter shell than the Japanese 18", but the shell could travel roughly the same distance and actually the muzzle velocity of the 16" was significantly higher, resulting in equal or better penetrating power than the 18" shells from the Yamato. -"The Big J" was Halsey's flagship for a period of time during WWII -When the Japanese accepted surrender terms, many assumed the NJ would get the honor of hosting (having already earned 9 battle stars) but it occurred onboard the Missouri because that was Truman's home state.

Fellow shikikans/commanders The day has come I wish you well on your rolls God speed

During my active duty years I spent 4 years on the USS Enterprise, as well as years on Fort Snelling, USS California and USS David Ray. But I served along side a sailor I envy to this day, He was a gunner on the USS New Jersey, 16 inch gun crew. H retired in 1986, the same day and ceremony of my own retirement but several years later he suffered a massive stroke and is no longer with us. I salute you sir, fair winds and following seas old friend.

Actually, USS New Jersey was the most decorated Battleship, but not the most decorated ship. That honor belongs to the USS Parche. However, since this series focuses on 20th century ships, the most highly decorated ship of the US Navy of that time is the USS Enterprise CV-6(which they should really do an episode on btw)

I've been aboard the New Jersey at least 10 times (I live fairly locally) and it is an amazing ship, and I think it could still kick some serious ass today

People may make fun of my mother state (NEW JERSEY) but she was THE ship that kicked ass in the war, AND SURVIVED! All Hail The New Jersey Warship) she turned the tide of the war!

SHE'S COMIN AS WAIFU BOAT! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Others: Magnificent Battleship AL player: Meta waifu & dancing bunny

"Put another round in- pointy end first.". That, my friends, is about the simplest and best description of loading the main guns as you can get. I like that guy!

I just visited USS New Jersey. What a gorgeous ship :)

they need to redfo this with ryan making an appearance

Been on BB-62 as a museum. That ship is a monster

my grandfather served aboard the USS New Jersey. It was his favorite ship, mostly because we are from New Jersey, and that he didnt like pushing planes on the USS Wasp(CV-18) lol

I served onboard the USS Fletcher DD 992, in the 80s, when they brought the Jersey out of mothballs. We got to sail with her on her shakedown cruise, upon recommissioning. She was an awesome sight.

I live near the USS New Jersey Museum and its a really fun tour :)

My grandpa was the loader of this ship

Pull trigger *New jersey accidentally hits aliens ships*

Al releases another Iowa: Shikikans: lets watch naval legends

I have visited this ship multiple times, and it truly is a sight to behold

This is the best naval legend clip so far. Love the explanation of the ship's execution and mechanism!

I find it funny that the naval historian in his video says that the 16"/50 Mk VII is just as powerful as the Japanese 18.1" gun, and yet in game there is a massive disparage in performance between the two guns. Oh Wargaming, you never cease to amuse me.

Erwin Sladewski, plank owner and my grandfather. Radar man responsible for the first Japanese plane taken down in WWII by the New Jersey. Miss and love you grandpa, thank you for all you did to protect us. 🇺🇲

Wow it's been 74 years since this ship has been launched and it still amazes people to this day

"Basically it comes down to a very big version of the 7.62 rifle you have at home" - Wow it's just another world in Russia!

I'm always impressed with the production quality of Wargamings documentaries. It's always a great distraction watching these.

New Jersey. Great battleship. I went in the museum a couple of times. A interesting note is that this is the longest battleship and most decorated battleship. Really cool.

I think the man being interviewed is great! And all sailors from all nations know that being sunk at sea is as scary as it gets! Yet these brave men and women keep calm and carry on!

Thank you to the "Men" who fought before me and showed us how it's done. To those who payed the price and never made it home To those whom serve after me to protect our shores and homes. We joined as boys and came home as men, some of us are aged now but pay that no mind if asked to serve we'd do it again. 🇺🇸

It's a cool ship. Only problem is you have to drive through the ghetto to visit it.

I had the honor of being on both the USS NEW JERSEY and MISSOURI. I was on the Jersey while in Beruit for a USO show AND watched it shell Bekka Valley. And got a tour by a friend of mine who was part MARINE detachment on the Missouri when it was in Long Beach

I'm so honored to live only 20 minutes from this beauty. Things like this ship make you proud to be an American. Does anyone think it'd be legal to fire blank rounds out of the 16" cannons for sporting events/military events?

You cannot tell me that when WW3 kicks off, all 4 Iowa class battleships will not be called up to help out.

Azur Lane introduces New Jearsey. This video vievs : stonks

Loved this video! Great game and a great historical series! Keep it up :)

"The Black Dragon" itself, what I would not give hear and behold the sight of its guns roaring to life,

Holy shit, a Russian greatly complementing Also me thing American??? It's so refreshing to look past all the recent political horseshit going on and have both sides realize how respectable the other is. Giving credit where credits due regardless what politicians want us to think.

Please do USS Laffey (DD-724)! One of the best Naval stories of WWII happened aboard her.

Uss New Jersey is a strong 💪 Battleship of US Navy that was a legend 🇺🇸

Are we supposed to ignore the fact that the USS New Jersey actually sank an Island with it's powerful cannons?

These documentaries are incredibly interesting and of great quality ! It's fascinating to learn about the ships that made history in such an epic fashion ! Keep up the good work Wargaming !

This is actually the coolest into on RU-vid This is actually incredible, it it truly amazing how these main guns are loaded, I never knew that is how they’re loaded, it is so cool to me

9:33 i was playing WoWs while watching this video on my phone both at the same time and when the battle starts, this plays. Guess what I heard ? "General Quarters".

Glory to the Black Dragon

The USS New Jersey Museum ship seen in the documentary is the 1980s refit, where many 40mm and 20mm guns are removed and replaced by 4 CIWS guns. The New Jersey in the 40s had so much more AA guns.

I have been on her decks back when my Navy ROTC class had a field trip to see her......I was completely beside myself traveling thru her decks, the gun turret, everywhere. [With exception to the engine room.] Having been born in the ships name sake state, I am not just proud as someone from New Jersey, but also as an American. However, I was once told by our tour guide that, even though the ship is indeed a museum, she can be re-fitted and battle ready in less then half a year or so.

僕は日本人です。 もちろん大日本帝国海軍の象徴である大和型戦艦は大好きです。しかしアイオワ級戦艦も少し細身の船体や高さが低めな406mm主砲、コンパクトにまとめられた艦橋周りが個人的に好きです！それから、これはアイオワ級だけではありませんが、アメリカ海軍艦艇の迷彩が大好きです。日本には瑞鳳、瑞鶴、信濃、妙高など少ししか迷彩をした艦艇がいないので少し羨ましく思います。

This video aged very well...

Fascinating! Love the commentary 🙌🏼

Very kind words of praise from Wargaming to the Officers, crew, and designers of the USS New Jersey. Thank you.

Awesome video I love WWII Battleships,Planes,Tanks,Guns

I just visited this today! Incredible access to all parts of the ship, such a cool experience!

Admiral Spruance had 6 Battleships prepared to go against the Yamato in case it made it past the the Helldivers, the Avengers, rocket & bomb carrying Corsairs and Hellcats. The battleships were the Massachusetts, Indiana, the South Dakota, the Missouri, the Wisconsin and the New Jersey. This also included 8 cruisers that included super cruisers Guam and Alaska. The USN lost very few flyers. On one level it would be interesting to see Yamato try to fight those 6 battleships. However, more Americans would have died and better few dead than one final battleship vs battleships battle....

Had a chance to visit the New Jersey four years ago. I loved visiting this ship and the history of it. I would recommend taking a tour of it to everyone I know who goes to visit Philadelphia.

went on a tour of nj few years ago. impressive is an understatement. guns are still in excellent shape

Another incredible documentary. Thanks!

I live right by this ship and finally visited it yesterday! It’s amazing!

These are so well done. Thanks guys!!

Very well done!, BB62 is definitely one of my favorite all time ships!!

The presenter was mistaken on the Gulf War, the Wisconsin was there also. When I was a Marine in the Gulf War, I was stationed on an amphibious transport ship, the Wisconsin fired a tomahawk missile that save the ship I was on from a scud missile. She also passed us on the way home from the Persian Gulf, she's a mighty big ship, as all four of them were, and are.

This is "thee best" video about Battleships and how it works. It's worth the time to watch

I’m glad Wargaming goes through so much effort and money to make these mini documentaries. I know it is primarily to market their game but they really went above and beyond with it. Thank you, Wargaming.

At 7:52, the footage shown is in black and white, and very grainy. You can clearly see the CIWS radar domes atop the superstructure, meaning the video is from 1984+ Very sneaky WG.

I can predict that many weebs will spam her “Skill voiceline” at this comment section

I am glad wargaming puts the effort into these wonderful documentaries, thanks!

i get to see this amazing ship every day as i drive to work down I-95 and have been on it several times!! well done wargaming

Neat. Kinda makes it odd that the 16" 50 caliber guns (Iowa, Montana) in-game have so much less penetrating power than Yamato's 18.1" 50 caliber guns.

Toured the ship in Philadelphia, amazing experience.

Thank you for the great documentary your kind words brought tears to my eyes

My grandfather served on the new jersey during the war. He has some jaw dropping stories about it..... unbelievable what he went through.

Wow, that is one long service record! Are there any interviews with the last servicemembers of this beautyfull vessel?

i'm lucky enough to live very close to the new jersey, so i go there very often. awesome ship to visit if you're in the Philadelphia area.

Grew up on BB63 - 6th Division. Youngest Helmsman at 17; Enlisted at 17, turned 18 between Sydney and Perth on the way back from the Persian Excursion 87/88. Also served as POIC in the Power Flats of Turret 2 for a period of time, among other things. Ship to Ship, it's the Crew who make the difference... 62 didn't put 215-5" and 48-16"/50's down range in 5 minutes... We did! Sink-ex 89. It was an impressive shoot off for the Battle E. We also took part in the largest gathering of Warships since WWII, that was unreal; some things you just have to experience. While now antiquated due to AI, drones, rail-guns, and stealth vessels. BB's are the only ships I know of to boast such a motto "Fear God Dreadnought". And when your steaming through a hurricane, you understand why.

It is really fun seeing the ships in person. I saw the New Jersey and the Wisconsin.

Bring this ship to legends. Also sponsor the battleship new jerseys youtube channel!

Big J is currently fundraising to get into drydock next year. Help her out if you can

Great video, thanks for the history lesson

Wow. Simply wow. Incredible detail.

All non Americans chanting how great the Yamato was. It's at the bottom. While the New Jersey served and retired being the most decorated ship in US history.

I always love going to see the New Jersey.

OMG! Thank you Wargaming for finally making this video! The USS New Jersey is my 3rd favorite ship ever and a true naval legend! :D She truly deserves that titel after having actively served on and off from 1942 all the way until 1992, that's 50 years! and I believe by far the longest of any ship! :D (the official order taking her out of duty I believe was in 2012 but the unofficial order I do know for sure came in 1992, just not sure when the official order came, might have been 2012 and might just as well have been 1992) ^^

What a awesome video thank you world of warships for sharing!
