Wahoo

I did the tank cleaning on that boat❤

It’s good to see her back on the water again

Great update. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into this overhaul. Thanks Tim!

Fantastic work! And thanks for the Jim Kirk cameo! LLAP, Kidd and crew! 🖖

My uncle Clyde Hildebrand. Served on the USS black. DD-666 During Vietnam.

Thanks for the Update Definitely an "Information Rich Presentation"

3:44 so does water go inside that section right there, or the pipes that we see? Also, are the looking at the hull itself right there or no?

Nice nice nice! I'm loving it guys! Keep it up!

So many cool things happening! Much love from Philadelphia and a BBNJ museum tour guide!

Man I can’t wait to see her all redone and in her new paint! I saw it many times docked at the museum in my trucking travels but never got the chance to stop.

Music is horrible.....something more patriotic perhaps? Otherwise, great video

Wow how much was this toe?

Been to that shipyard, just about a year ago, when the C/P Arctic Fjord was about to go in the water, that was cool to see the move down the channel~ they had to dredge it to get the Fjoud out, but even then they had a barge under the stern, and airbags at the bow, that's a tough place. My Uncle served on a sip like this, after WWII some time.

Beautiful footage! I wore your "world tour" t-shirt to my second drydocking tour under the New Jersey and Ryan got a kick out of it. I really enjoy Parks' sense of humor 😁

I've been able to have the opportunity twice to enjoy visiting this wonderful naval museum and I will never forget either visit especially because my friend that was with me both times has since passed away !!! What a memorable amazing experience it was to be immersed in such a way to learn what those sailors did for our country ! Thank you all for your service to our country and for restoring this amazing ship

IF I had MY way, I would Guard the SHIP 24/7 365 until she returned to her BERTH !

Amazing to see the old girl underway. So happy she is going to get some TLC so many other generations will get to learn and enjoy her.

Thanks for the update. Glad see is getting all this attention, looks like a lot of topside/exterior corrosion.

@AllAmericanTravels love the kid

we love you kid

It's impressive, what you are doing. It took us fifteen years to find all that equipment and weld it in place, and you cut everything off in three weeks! 20mm guns; two came from the Buffalo Park, four from Holldand. Searchlignts; One came from USS TOLAMN DM-28 at Port Hueneme, and one was found by WWII KIDD Sonarman Fred Higgs at an estate sale, and he donated it. MK-51 directors came from Crane Indiana, legend is that they came off the MISSOURI. One the quad forties came from Pearl Harbor, the other from Crane. The Navy put the twins on in Philly, so we never knew where they came from. The torpedo tubes came from CAPERTON (DD-650). Are you going to take those off too?

Love the video. Got turned onto this project while watching New Jersey dry dock and they mentioned Kidd was headed there. Looking forward to more updates.

My Grandfather Clarence Johnson drew the battle insignia. I have the original he gave my grandmother before leaving pearl

The Kidd has been on my bucket list for a long time- I’m really excited that she will be in her WWII configuration when I finally see her (hopefully next summer).

Y’all are doing a lot of work! Can’t wait to see the results, keep the updates coming!

wait wheres the first vid? dont believe i caught that.

I was just saying the other day I wish i had been able to get the search lights going when I was there. But it was way down on the property list. Glad to see the sewing room deck is going to get repaired. Tim you are doing a fine job as usual.

Upset that the Firing controls are being taken out

Thanks for the update Tim. You folks are doing a great job!

Awesome video! Looking forward to seeing the restoration processes!

Greetings, DD-661 crew!

It is beautiful to see such a majestic ship on the water again.

Those tugs work like a well orchestrated machine. Amazing work and excellent seamanship.

Excellent to see USS KIDD on the move. As a NEW JERSEY volunteer who may or may not have a gps screenshot showing 5 knots (only checked once), the downside to speed in this special case is that you only get there faster!😢

The beeps from the rigs are just to let ships know that there's a structure there, like a fog horn but constant.

❤❤ That was a once-in-a-lifetime voyage, I wish I could have been a part of it since one of my grandfathers served on a tin can in WWII and my other in the Silent Service plus Korea,

You would think cell companies would ad repeaters to oilrigs off shore to expand coverage considering a small tower would have a long range over the ocean to the coastal areas. Packed with people on vacation on the beach or near the beach at sea. Also Oil companies could provide a taste of home via cell or internet as well as keep alternate communications for crews with long stays.

I would love to see a series of this crew doing skits like from the office

Middle of the gulf on a Fletcher no cell service sounds incredible!

Appreciate the shout out, Tim!

I'm sitting here resting between sets working out with the USS Kidd underway on the big TV. Tell me life isn't beautiful! Take care Kidd team, you always have my support.

I saw the Kidd being moved on CZcams and made my way here. Great behind the scenes video, it kept my interest all the way through.

So happy to see her getting the work done she needs! Wish I could have joined you, would have loved to gone back to sea on a small boy again! "Underway, shift colors!"

THE JAPANESE NEVER ATTACKED PEARL HARBOR, THE MINI JAPANESE WERE WAR PRICES TAKEN TO PERL HARBOR AND SUNK TO ENFORCE THE BELIEF THAT THE JAPANESE REALLY ATTACKED PEARL HARBOR AFTER THE WAR.
