Museum Battleships in Drydock
In this episode we’re talking about other museum battleships that have been drydocked.

How do you keep NJ cool in the summer?
The US Navy should still help the funding of the Iowa ships because they are still viable warships if WWIII begins
You are a strange looking hunched over balding chap, with little overt command presence on the surface of things. But – you're clearly in command of this magnificent vessel, all of her people that you have under you and all of the future that sits before her, and I myself would follow you to the end of things, were that my fate. I think you are the most capable leader for the New Jersey and I wish you all of the greatest success for this forthcoming drydock. You go, my man – you go.
Yes please carriers! CV 16 <3
How can I sign up for a tour while she is in dry dock?????
Great video! I would love to hear more about the Carriers, specifically Yorktown. It isn't your focus, but any websites or channels with information would be appreciated.
As a board member of a tiny museum, I want to thank you for all you do. Your videos have helped us focus on what we need and how to move towards those goals. As an introvert, you have helped me break out of my shell in the museum. Yeah, there is a tour, but people respond when you are passionate about "weird" stuff.
Take care, and happy hunting!
I wonder if any ships have considered a sort of permanent berth inside a drydock? Something like HMS Victory which is in a historic drydock, only kept afloat. The blocks could be kept in place below; perhaps even the gate sealed shut, but the ship would be properly supported by water. When work was needed, the cost of drydocking would be pretty much limited to pumping the water out. The drawback is that these ships look so much better "unfenced"; like they're ready to put to sea when needed. It's hard to appreciate the scale of a ship when looking over a wall.
No way of moving USS North Carolina without some serious destruction either the ship or the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
Another great informative video
When New Jersey political Tyrants are givin their marching orders, I will Visit this great ship. If I am not free to exercise my God Given Rights, I will not visit New Jersey.
I was able to do a keel crawl when the Coral Sea CVA-43 was in dry dock in Portsmith Va.
I’d be into a video like this about cruisers
interesting question, would it be possible to build a full scale model of Bismarck or Yamato although not as much armor and no engine but still similar to the original and use for a museum ship
Coffer dams also lock the ship in place so that I cannot break loose. Great idea.
Concerning USA museum ships. With all of the naval museum ships we have, how big of a naval force would our museum ships be compared to other countries current active navies?
To quote Ryan, "it's a higher initial expense, but a lower lifetime expense." He was speaking about the cofferdam surrounding USS North Carolina, but the same holds true when purchasing an electric vehicle. They usually cost more up front, but are cheaper to operate than a gas vehicle.?
Not really a mystery why Missouri gets special treatment that no other (privately operated) museum ship would get. She's the one of the most important artifacts of the Pearl Harbor complex second only to USS Arizona in importance.
Definitely would love to hear about the Intrepid dry docking.
That thumbnail… lol. As another "not short" person, I understand the concept of stuff around you seeming small. Then when you get around something truly massive, you finally get to know what it's like for the rest of the world. BIIIIIIIIIG HULL!!!
Can you build a hybrid cofferdam where the ship is still floating and not settled into the mud?
