En la brecha de las armas de Texas con el acorazado NJ: Parte 1
En este episodio, hablamos sobre el trabajo que Battleship Texas ha estado haciendo desde el almacén donde se está realizando parte del trabajo. Para el canal de Texas: Para la Parte 2: Para apoyar al USS Texas: Para nuestro video anterior de Texas’ Warehouse: Para enviar un mensaje a Ryan en Facebook: Para apoyar este canal y el Battleship New Jersey:

Do not feel too bad Ryan, I don't think that there are 1800 Battleship survivors that served before the reactivations in the 1980's.
Thanks for another informative video!
Why is there a "bolt" in the middle of the breach plug threads?
Later in the video, when showing the breach there is a 'cam track' which the "bolt" would follow.
Good job guys!
Thanks for going down and making some videos. I really appreciate the updates from that other guys ship.
Nice work, guys. Me and my kiddo are loving this collaboration.
Sorry all, but I’m an Artilleryman by trade (20+ years). They need to hire me! Obturation Spindle, Breechblock, Carrier, Firing lock! Never mentioned spring tension!
Simple Separate Loading ammunition.
You mentioned paint job. Are they repainting or powder coating? Powder coating seams stronger and takes longer to damage.
That part of a gun is the breech, not breach.
So, I know you said before that the 16” guns can’t train and elevate at the same time in a video before, but in this video, at the 2:25 mark, they do just that. I’m confused, did the machinery change to allow that at some point?
Outstanding!
The video was great. The correct terminology for the mushrooms is "obturators". The fit of the Whelin screw threads allows a path for escaping gas, so they need to be sealed with an obturator. The Germans used sliding breach blocks almost exclusively (up to and including the 800mm Dora!!). Due to to the geometry on sliding breach block design, regular obturators cannot be used, and gas -sealing is done with full-length brass cases (also done on the enormous 800mm German guns).
*breech
Looking forward to Part 2 and I have a story to tell, but it's long!!
mmmmm asbestos gaskets, so crunchy
Breech, not breach.
I remember reading years ago abou the development of the Welin breech and so knew about the asbestos gasket, so was glad when Travis brought it up after we watched it get knocked around.
When we take the US military back, we will also put these Battleships back into service. Mark my words. Battleship NJ will sail again!
rainbow corrosion….I am dieing here…thats too funny….
Love the collaborations…Ryan is a good interviewer of probably-reticent interviewees…
5:00 Interrupt-screw breeches were used with bagged munitions, as that system can provide obturation (i.e. a gas-tight seal between the breech block and the breech that is able to withstand the full pressure of firing). With cased munitions a sliding breech block is enough, because the case provides obturation. So well done concluding this from the priming system, but the breech-block with its mushroom should have already told you that 😉
I really feel it's easier to ignore problems on non functional guns, turrets and stuff than it is to ignore damage on something you might want to play with occasionally.
That playing with them is an important part of keeping them in good condition and I don't think it should be discouraged for staff and knowledgeable volunteers.
Are these massive guns legally still considered firearms in the U.S.?
Too bad the guy in background couldn't have taken a break…Almost felt he was being load on purpose…Good work fellas..
Ryan and Travis make excellent presenters , fascinating to see precision engineering being restored after all this time .
Ok did this guy save Texas? I’ve know for a long time the ship has been swinging for a dry dock but has he been the driving force or the collective. This was an amazing cross over interview.
Good thing these guns will never fire again , that plug is so pitted the face could never seal . All the compress gas from the bag igniting would be right there in your face .
Before getting into the gun mechanism, I would precede it with an explanation of the Texas guns. These would include: the secondary 5” guns were 51 cal. long, and I think used all the way to the last Dreadnought class (Maryland?). Didn’t know shells were bagged charges compared to the later 5” for the 38 cal. DP. Between the wars, the 5” 25 cal AA gun was fitted. Also, the casements below the main deck were too wet to use and plated in which Ryan explained in another video. The gun case ended were moved to the main deck beginning with the Arizona class (from my memory of building the Revell model decades ago. I’m sure this is discussed in Norman Freidman’s and the Garzke books.
Love the collabs with other ships and historians ❤️
I remember as a child visiting Battleship Texas, my dad opening and closing a breach on a 5 inch gun on the port side
Keep the collaborations up!!
Breech, not Breach
At Hamlin Park in Seattle, there were two large guns that were used by Dewey at Manila Bay. What interested me was that by continually turning one thing, it was designed to close and then lock or the reverse, unlock and then open the breech.
I don't know if Seattle cared to keep it.
I am loving these crossovers. You guys have done/are doing a great job with these. I hope Travis gets to take a trip to the New Jersey.
?????
Great stuff.
To heat up a block of metal that size just use plenty of gas and big heating nozzles. You can forget a normal sized cutting torch though. For advice go to a steel works that specializes in repair and maintenance to molten metal laddles and scrap skips. It should take less than half a day to make those breaches expand enough to release the blocks.
Really like the collaboration with Texas. It gives Ryan more ship to talk about.
I've spent most of my 53 years of life being fascinated by problem-solving and the human experience. It's astounding that the entirety of human history (including our pre-human ancestors) has as one of the common threads inventing new and more complicated methods for throwing rocks at each other.
As a lover of nature I find it beautiful that every one of these weapons of war had become an incubator of life (the birds nests). Restoring them is the right thing to do, but it would be wonderful if we never would have the need for throwing fancy rocks at each other ever again.
