1. “Big Thunder” was a call sign/ nickname during our 88’ deployment to Australia

2. I always like "The Grand Old Lady" for HMS Warspite.

3. My gramps served on the Massachusetts from her commissioning until the end of the war. He always referred to the ship as "Big Mamie".

4. Surprised it didn't get a nickname for "sinking" an island

5. When the aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne sailed with USS Enterprise, she was referred to as Little M. HMAS Melbourne was the smallest carrier in the world at the time and USS Enterprise was the biggest and she of course was called Big E.

6. Soviet Commander: "Comrade, are you telling me they have swimmingpools on their battleships? Amerikanskiy dekadans!"

7. Not so much a nickname, but HMS Hood was known as "The largest submarine in the fleet" during her career due to her quarter deck always being awash even in a moderate sea.

8. Say, how does a full broad side… get picked up by Sonar?
   you can see the blast affect the water..
   Do Sonarmen on submarines actually hear it under water?? is it loud at all?

   @subbrief for input?

9. werewolf is a awesome callsign

10. The Samuel B Roberts (de 413) had an interesting call sign during the battle of Samar, Juggernaut.
    And she put up a fight to match, it took 14 in sized shells to put her under (if not 18.1 in shells).

11. Think my favorite ship nickname is CV6 Enterprise, "The Grey Ghost."

12. 'Musaeum'?

13. Why because America thanks Ryan.

14. yeah i always wondered why she keeps saying black dragon during her intro scene… what were we taking about again

15. I have also seen the NEW JERSEY referred to as “The Beef.”

16. Back in the 70s, diesel-powered HMS Lincoln had one too many alcohol-related indisciplines and became the "Stinkin', Drinkin' Lincoln". Not long after, HMS Apollo had a couple of "same sex" cases in quick succession and was dubbed the "Gay A".

17. was in battalion 21 in Sea Bees we were Black Jack Battalion

18. Is that a person on the middle barrel in the background behind Ryan? Looks like someone is straddling the middle barrel on the forward most turret….

19. Look at that wood deck it is immaculate I take my previous comment down I want to see Battleships far into the future

20. "Nasty Asty" was the nickname of heavy cruiser USS Astoria (CA-34). My grandfather served on the Astoria from commissioning until 1936-37. He was on the ship baseball team and went from Polliwog to Shellback on her first cruise across the equator. I have no idea where the nickname came from, but of course I like it. Too bad none of the treaty cruisers were preserved, but then many are on eternal patrol, Houston, Quincy, Vincennes, and 'Nasty Asty' among others.

    Thanks for video.

21. Missouri was Mighty Mo

22. I am not the best at ID-ing ships yet so I figured that I'd ask if anyone knows what the two BBs we can see in the picture at 5:31 are. The close one looks like a South Dakota and the one cut off on the right looks Iowa-ish, but I'm not sure if someone knows more specifically which ships they were? I hesitantly would say the closer hull number looks like 59, making her Massachusetts, but I can't be certain.

23. Some of my favorite ship nicknames include:

    The Vengeful Sister (Pennsylvania 38)
    The Lonely Queen of the North (Tirpitz)
    The Grey Ghost (Enterprize 6)
    The Christmas Ship (New York 34)
    WeVe/Weavy (West Virginia 48)
    The Black Dragon (New Jersey, obviously)
    The SUS (Nickname for the USS United State supercarrier concept that got put into World of Warships)
    The Chesapeake Raider (Wyoming 32)
    Mobile Chornobyl (Enterprise 65)
    Quarter Mile Island (Also Enterprise 65)

    And we can't Forget Old Ironsides herself USS Constitution

24. I have heard rumors that the engines of the Uss New Jersey is seized do you know if the rumors are true?

25. One of my father's nurses in the public heath service was (allegegly) saved by the New Jersey while he served in Vietnam. The story goes that he was traveling with spotter and they were run off the road by an ambush. They ran down a hill and hid in a paddy. The spotter called for fire and got some 5" shell on the hill above. Apon abserving he "smiled" , asked "fire for effect", then said "cover your ears, scream, and float." After 'almost a minute' 16" shells fell, and the hill above was gone. Apparenty they walke calmly to safty. "The big J safed our ass". A story from my childhood by an E5 father.
    My grandfather gave similar accounts of the percision of the Nevada on Iwo Jima. He said it fealt like "we could hold up a cap and catch a "box car"". he was in the 5th marines.

26. USS Texas was saddled with Yahoo Maru.

27. I was on BB62 in the 80’s. Awesome ship. Great times as an 18 year old sailor, I saw the world on a westpac. Shellback at 19.

28. I wonder if they ever combined black dragon and blue eyes to get a blue-eyed black dragon. Would've made a killer patch at least.

29. USS South Dakota went by Battleship X for a time…

30. The USS Lexington, CV 16 went by the blue ghost

31. Did the Big J ever come into contact with the USS Forrestal ? My Dad is a plank owner on it, and as we are NJ folks, I'd love any connection between the two boats
