- This is an oral history interview with Captain Snyder, the Captain of the only battleship in the world during the Vietnam War.
This interview was conducted on board that ship, Battleship New Jersey, by the staff of that museum.
I could hear storys from him all day!!
I never thought I'd see an interview with him!
RIP RAdm Snyder. Was an honor to serve under your command. A true sailor's sailor
Thank you for your honorable service sir.
There is interview footage of him from the history channel special entitled battleships which came out I believe in 1999. He had a colorful sense of humor and way with words as he described operations in Vietnam. I wonder if there’s any extended interview footage from when they filmed that documentary.

Where's the rest of the interview? There is more, certainly, the Captain is cut off in mid-sentence.
