    This episode stars Ryan Szimanski, Curator of the USS NEW JERSEY Museum & Memorial, coming to you from the decks of destroyer escort USS SLATER (DE-766) in Albany, NY, USA.

    the curator of Battleship New Jersey, representing USS Kidd, starring in a video on USS Slater. that's like a crossover episode in a crossover episode. I love it

      Must give credit where it's due (or blame....): @eherrmann suggested getting Ryan in an episode. The annual HNSA Symposium in Albany, hosted by SLATER, provided the opportunity. Glad you enjoyed it. Check out our other museum collaborations! More on the way. 🙂

    Spent one night on the Kidd. The air flush toilets were crazy. I also worked at Lamberts Point Deperming Station. We wrapped ships in cables to “de-permanent” the ships magnetic field to allow the degaussing system to work. The Philadelphia Experiment sound like someone saw a ship wrapped in cables and heard “invisible”. Invisible to magnetic mines yes. Your eyes? Not so much.
