IF we ever have to make a major beach landing again we will probably have
to take some of these battleships out of mothball. Even with all of our
technology they just cant provide the constant fire power needed for beach
bombardment. The fact that a couple of years ago the Pentagon started
production of 16″ shells for the first time since Vietnam proves this even
tho we have no active battleships.

Lovely battleship but i prefer the HMS Rodney battleship due to its weird
looks.

I have seen her. I wish her hull was actually floating. What I really would
like to see is that she gets to where she can go out to sea once a year for
a few days. Such a ship could pay for this time at sea by basically making
her a cruise ship for historical purposes. Civvies at that point would be
able to get a much better idea of what life at sea was like.

I would I be incorrect to say american BB’s built in the 1930s- 40s all
have the same or very similar design? I know they have different main gun
models and slight difference in hull design but other than that every thing
else seems the same. And maybe differences in the superstructure.

Maybe the French «Dunkerque» class BC, would be nice to see what they
really could do against German & Italian ships if given the chance !!!

yea im a HUGE ww2 buff so this really excites me especially the pacific
campaign with the nc class and the good ol north Carolina being in
Wilmington which me being very close to is awesome so its cool and a fact
the north Carolina was actually the first OPERATIONAL battleship in the
pacific for the us was right along side the enterprise :D

I’ve been to the North Carolina a couple times and I was able to buy a
piece of the original teak deck. It makes the piece so much cooler to
actually know the story behind ship!

In case you haven’t gotten it yet, many years ago I was an avid collector
of the plastic models of the WWII warships. I had mentioned the Aurora
model of the Bismark as a very accurate representation of the illustration
of that ship in the Jane’s books of the period. The 2 models of the Iowa
class were the Revell and the Aurora models and both of these had an
underwater shape of the hull that was nothing like the real ships but very
similar to each other. It seems that the exact shape of the hulls of
these ships was classified secret military information and the model makers
might have been directed by the US Navy to represent the hulls as they did.

I will assume that the USS Iowa class is on your to-do list even though I
don’t see it on the play list yet. I was comparing the Iowa class to one
other USS class the Saratoga because of the obvious similarity in O.A.
length and developed HP. Both classes were almost the same length and the
same HP at 212,000 developed on trials. In other areas the Iowa’s were
much heavier (57,000T to 36,000T) and had a less advantageous length to
beam ratio (7.9-1 to 8.8-1) an yet they were about the same speed. In a
direct comparison the Iowa’s should have been slower. There are at least 2
factors that may help to account for the high speed of the Iowa’s. The
high length to beam ratio results in a longer entry of the hull into the
water and exit from the water. With the Iowa’s there was a long gentle
entry but the stern was more blunt till you looked at the profile from the
side and then you could see that the bottom sloped up very gently to the
stern. I believe this gave the same effect as a more gentle exit of a
conventional hull. The other factor is that the Iowa’s were equipped with
«Vortex Generators» at the stern, the reason given that the extra
turbulence would improve the steering, making these ships as maneuverable
as smaller ships. I believe that in addition there was an effect on the
water that improved the exit of the ship at the stern and gave the results
as if the ship had been much longer.

I remember an account of the British Battle Cruisers Furious, Courageous,
and Glorious, that stated that they were faster at full load that when more
lightly loaded. From what I could learn the propellers were more
effective when deeper in the water, and possibly suffered from less
cavitation than when deeper in the water. This could also be the case for
the Iowa’s and the Saratoga class that the Iowa’s propellers were deeper in
the water and thus could transmit the power more effectively

Awsome .. i sub.

Good stuff!

WTF is wrong with you, you used a clip of the Alaska class when you were
talking about the NC, and then you used a clip of a German Panzerschiffe
when you were talking about US cruisers moving? Why cant you get your film
to match the dialogue in the video? I have low expectations for later
videos from you.
