Nostalgia from my childhood. I stayed a few nights in 2009 or 2010 with my dad in the barracks for cubscouts (or was it weeblos)? They told ghost stories to us and we believed them so when we slept at night after hearing stories in the boiler room we always fell asleep a bit unnerved lol

My son and I visited USS Midway And The USS Iowa this year. We're heading to Texas next year in the hopes of getting to see this ship in person. Great Video!

@nogoodnameleft 2 месяца назад

USS Texas won't be ready until late 2025 or early 2026. Corpus Christi is pretty far from Galveston so it would probably be hard to fit both ships in one week or one weekend. I hope you can visit both Lexington and Texas eventually!

i was a boy scout and got to stay over night in the usually off limits officer bunks and they had a lounge and game room and we got a free tour of the brig and some other off limits places some of which you can pay to see

@anissastoke 7 месяцев назад

was there working air conditioning at the time? i went this past summer and i’ve genuinely never been so hot and sweaty in my life. the little map they give when u first come in completely dissolved in my hand by the time i was done, i can’t imagine staying overnight. there were pockets of the ship with limited ac and airflow but i would assume the bunks would be ventilated better?

5:05 - They have an error on the model of the carrier group. They show CVL-25 with a label of "USS-Princeton". CVL-23 was in fact the Princeton and CVL-25 was the USS-Cowpens.

Not to sound morbid, but as i watch this video, can you imagine all this is sitting on the bottom? I toured The York Town in S.C. past by the maintenance shop. seen the table grinder! Then watched the video of the sunken York. There was the table and grinder i walked past! Now add the Souls that were lost there! God Forbid we ever forget!

Lexington . Hornet, Yorktown, Wasp, Langley...'42 was a rough year.

@nogoodnameleft 2 месяца назад

@@panzerdeal8727 Then in 1943-45 the fatalities numbers got far worse as the "smaller" carriers were sunk (Liscome Bay - 702 KIA and Bismarck Sea - 318 KIA) or so heavily damaged that they were forcibly retired early (Franklin - 807 KIA and Bunker Hill - 396 KIA). Lexington lost 216 KIA and Wasp lost 193 KIA during the battles in which they were sunk and the other sunken fleet carriers suffered less deaths than Wasp's numbers.

@panzerdeal8727 2 месяца назад

@@nogoodnameleft Kind of to be expected with the numbers built. CVE's outnumbered cv's by some 2:1 and CVL's by like 4:1. [some 27 CV's, 9 cvl's and 50+ cve.] Probability law plays no favorites. Good point tho.

@nogoodnameleft 2 месяца назад

@@panzerdeal8727 I think it is more like the kamikazes were actually a hugely successful weapon and were the first successful guided missile (yes...human-guided but they were still pretty much like how a big ocean war would have looked like during the Cold War [if no nukes were used] with guided missiles). If Japan hadn't done the kamikazes and continued their actual suicidal methods like at Philippine Sea and Formosa then the war against Japan would have been finished so quickly and with very few casualties. If the kamikazes successfully hit their targets (and many of them were successful) then that isn't really suicidal, which involves only the pilot getting killed, like their completely failed attempts to do aerial battles in 1944 prior to October 1944 at Leyte Gulf, which were suicidal methods of aerial warfare as seen in the turkey shoots at Philippine Sea and Formosa. Admiral Spruance later wrote that kamikazes were very effective weapons of war and that they were even better methods of fighting than Army B-17s/B-24s/B-29s that bomb from high altitudes and are a huge waste of bombs and exposing crewmen to getting killed in suicidal bombing campaigns.

@panzerdeal8727 2 месяца назад

@@nogoodnameleft Catch: Kamikazies are useless without a target. With more Cv's in closer to Japan, the better their hit probibilities get. As for Bomber campaigns over Japan, fun fact that kinda knocks Spruances statement: More Japanese were actually killed in conventional raids than the Atom bombings. The Firebombings in Japan were even more effective in causing casualties than the Dresden raids. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g93A11ofTE8.html

Good video but to say "See Every Part of the Ship" it should include the "Hard Hat Tour"

@nogoodnameleft 2 месяца назад

Do Hard Hat Tours allow videos though? I never see any Hard Hat Tours of any museum ships. If they are not allowing videos then why are you whining because you are too cheap to pay the extra $10 for yourself to go on the illegal-to-videotape Hard Hat Tours?

so sorry help me out here iam from ireland ... but i thought that the uss lexington was sunk in battle so is this the second ship was there a third lexington ... did i read somewhere that the american navy where builting a new carrier and to keep the uss lexington name alive she be named that ....or is that totally wrong..

@panzerdeal8727 4 месяца назад

Essex class carrier Lexington [II] was renamed during construction to carry on the Lexington [I] name and battle honors. This was also done with The Hornet II, Yorktown II , Wasp II, and Langley II, during the war. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tz1G-BbNiVI.html @@eamonnquigley2125

After retiring the Lady Lex in 91, they probably passed the name on to a new ship to carry on the traditions. during wartime that's markeed with a Roman numeralafter the name [Second Edition label.] Peacetime it's just a name change. @@eamonnquigley2125

Our lost carriers got replacements during ww 2 out of new construction, eitheer Essex class Fleet Carriers or Independance class Light Carriers. Offically , they were annotated by Roman numeral II in the name, but sloppy historians from about 1981 on stopped using the offical names and began just dropping the numbers. Hornet, Yorktown Lexington,Wasp, all were replaced. During wartime the number designation is used to keep offical records straight.@@eamonnquigley2125

Great video, enjoyed it. But that is by far the worst model of the USS South Dakota I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t even come close. Why would the museum choose to display that?

@nogoodnameleft 2 месяца назад

@@vipertt100 It's because carrier museums aren't run by actual museum ship aficionados but by corporate sponsors. They don't care about the actual Navy or carriers themselves because they care more about the private events that they can hold onboard like anime conventions/festivals and installing a Space Shuttle on their flight decks.

@AFluffyBunny4 2 месяца назад

Wow! That South Dakota model is horrible! So out of scale and very inaccurate. The diorama of 1/700 scale ship also shows the Wasp, CV-7, as the Enterprise CV-6. Who runs this place?

@nogoodnameleft 2 месяца назад

Goes to show that carrier museums aren't run by actual museum ship fans but by corporate business sponsors considering they turn them into Disneyland like Lexington's IMAX theater in one one of her elevator shafts. The USS Cabot was about to become a museum ship in Louisiana but their idiotic would-be caretakers decided to turn her into a casino/hotel and that completely killed any chance to save her due to extreme anger and backlash to that last-second decision.
