So many people in this comment section are talking out of their asses

If anyone even noticed that was the Crowley tug Warrior in the opening view towing the Iowa with it's 9600 horsepower and using two tow wires. I worked on the Warrior years after this making a run from either Jacksonville FL or Philadelphia to San Juan PR.

I got to see her in December 2011 we took the California Zephyr to Denver From Emeryville California and on the way I looked out and saw the Naval Mothball fleet, and there she was! She is Majestic!

tell me the navy is smart they will be able to use them in the future they are too costly to operate in peace time

She is gorgeous 😍 ❤️ 💖 💕 💗

I had the distinct privilege of briefly touring the Missouri while it was moored in Astoria in the late 1990's. It had an unscheduled stop there for two weeks as it was being towed to Hawaii.

Memories are so valuable. The USA cannot increase the number of ship production as much as China.This class of war ships would be deterrent against rapidly growing chinese naval asset in pacific. U.S navy should restart its production instead of more Arleigh Burke. At least, USA can try to create a psychological effect by reminding the winner of the second world war by this ship.

Aww. She's not running on her own steam.

Beautiful survivor thank you for your hard work🚢🙏 🇺🇸

Bravo aux americains de preserver leur patrimoine navale militaire , en france nos cuirassees ont finis a la casse au japon .des vaissaux d'une grande beauté.🧐👍🇨🇵

I remember hearing why they got retired. And I'd rather not bring it up. I prefer seeing them at the bottom of the ocean then in the hands of an idiot. LOL

National treasure❤

So I know they did some work on the ship prior to the move to LA. Looking on the aft deck they had Porta potty’s and they had portable generators. Was anybody on the ship during the tow? I couldn’t see anybody looking at this footage. It was a pretty long tow, so I imagine somebody must’ve had to be on board to monitor the condition of the ship such as a haul leak. I presume the harbor pilot would’ve been on board the lead tug. I’m wondering if anybody has any insight on that?

Yamato would have been nicer

Scrap mean fvck

I remember that day, i was 6 years old and on a tugboat following behind Iowa until she got to the Golden Gate and had helped put her back together, She was my dads first ship in the US Navy from 1987 to 1989

So they'll will never sail in combat conditions again?

How is she doing today ?

what is with the chain underwater pulling the ship?

I still say she should have been sailed up the Mississippi and parked by her namesake. I wouldn't even care that she would take up the entire river.

what shame they dont fire up the boilers EPA be damned

It was a sad day the bay area has lost all its operational military bases because of the liberal hatred of military history. only one museum no liberty ships or Iowa class destroyers .

Its a shame she couldn't make her last voyage under her own power

it still amazes me that yall was getting this bad flim quality in 2012

Ahhh. the Iowas. the sexiest girls since the Andrews Sisters

It’s not passing under shit! She’s at anchor.

🇻🇳👋

They will be needed again soon. As soon as war breaks out with either China or Russia or both we will need to refit them and send their hard hitting firepower into the battleseas again!

Arg uss Iowa won’t stand a chance to defeat me

My cousin Cee Jay Good was a crewman on the Crowley tug pulling the Missouri to Pearl Harbor

I did the Iowa museum tour a couple of years ago with one of my best friends and it was definitely an awesome vessel. Back in the early 80's my nieces husband was aboard the DD-265 Kincaid that was getting retro-fitted with Phalanx system and other goodies and at the same time the USS New Jersey was there for some work on her as well. What was interesting is that on the DD ship you had to walk up a gang plank about 20 ft to reach the main deck but, for the NJ you could basically touch it from the pier as it sat so low in the water. Of course the Kincaid no longer exist as far as I know but both the Iowa and NJ are alive and well. They say the Iowa can be battle ready in less than 90 days if need be.

One of the greatest ships all time..... All four sisters.....respect......from Greece

Hello

Is it this ship that had the explosion?

membayangkan tuh meriam buat hajar korvet langsung meledak kali yak

Battleship Tanager is entering los angeles all isaf forces sink it now

What a great video. this is exactly what I want to hike up to see this summer. Thanks for posting this gem.

Gay.

Hard to believe the US built 30 of them ships

The steel leviathans sleep now,...let them,

I think this is the only Battleship class that has had the entire class Preserved all of the other pre war ships have only had 1 or 2 members saved
