    Born and raised in Iowa joined the Navy in 58 in hopes to serve on her she was already put up. Thank God we have some very caring people that saved these 4 ships. Have been on 3 of them still not been on Iowa. In 59 Missouri was used as a barracks ship to house the Fleet Maintenance crew in Bremerton. It was all lit up at night flags flapping and although decommissioned was told they had colors daily. The crew even had right shoulder patches sewed on their uniforms.

I was ten years old in the late nineties and i remember seeing the Jersey come up the Delaware until we were eventually kicked off the bridge in philly for pulling over on the side and video taping 🤭. Its so much more then just a battleship. It represents my childhood and a wanderlust of memories. Thank you.

      Ever since I was a little kid ( early 60s) I paid attention to Navy Warships, especially the Iowa's, most especially, the New Jersey. For some reason I thought of BB 62 as "My" Battleship. I always knew they would be recommissioned someday. Jimmy Carter suggested scrapping them all at one point. I called both my Senators and my Congressional Representative, plus the Admiral in charge of the Bureau of Ships, Inactive Ships Program. These people assured me that nothing was going to happen to the Iowas or My personal Battleship. Thousands of people raised Hell. President Carter's plan for them was forgotten, President Reagan reactivated them all. Now? They are like four Dormant Volcanoes, resting peacefully. They still have the potential to shake the World, if called upon.
      A lot of people really care about those ships.

Looking back at the stock footage on youtube, there's a video of this event, and you can see a few dots (people), on the bridge in philly and a huge pickup. Im the smaller dot standing next to the bigger one, (my dad), on the Lower level of the bridge. It's crazy to see it now and know exactly who those little dots are lol. We filmed on the lower portion because everyone and their grandmothers were on the upper trestle or whatever you want to call it, part of the bridge. Time flys.

    I see the TF tail of of my old squadron HSL-33 Sea Snakes. We had the distinct honor of being the first ASW Helio squadron to be attached to a battleship. The honorable Mr. Reagan and the CNO decreed that my squadron HSL 33 out of NAS North Island would be that squadron we were attached to BB 62 USS New Jersey.
    It's definite now I have to come up to see the USS New Jersey and visit Helio that I spent a lot of time in and around. Back in 1983 I had a lot of BB 62 USS New Jersey paraphernalia, shorts, coffee mugs, a beer stein, T-shirts, you name it I had a lot of stuff off of the USS New Jersey, and of course it has been lost and stolen over the many years.
    It honestly does my heart good to see that so many people are keeping our traditions & memories alive….

    When I visited Iowa and Wisconsin in 1995 at Philadelphia, Wisconsin was moored to the Pier on the Delaware by her Port side with shore power ( 4 - 440 Volt cables as I recall ) fed to her Port couplings. Iowa was tied up to Wisconsin's starboard side with camels ( fenders ) between the two ships. What a sight having two Iowa class ships tied up together !

    A good explanation of the docking process by Ryan . I'm glad he mentioned the caisson , I have been inside a couple installing permanent lighting for the maintenance workers and they are pretty unique . There looks to be a fair amount of marine growth from the picture , and I'm looking forward to seeing the bottom once the dock has been cleaned . I'm sure it's been an incredibly busy time for everyone and the videos have been great . Hope they can have a break as the hard workers get her ready .

    I was on a gearing class destroyer in 1976 when it went into dry dock in Philadelphia. I didn’t remember the dry dock number. I do remember that as the dry dock was pumped out all hands we ordered on deck and as needed we were ordered to go to one side of the ship or the other to insure we settled on the blocks correctly.

    Good job, Ryan! Very smart of you to not test old wiring. But the good news is that you can check the port side electrical system without power. Any qualified electrician can do it if you have the blueprints. Both Missouri & New Jersey got new wiring during their final refit @ LBNSY. I was among the team who re-designed some of the wiring & conduit runs for added weapons and missile power. It’s in sections, by deck, and can be checked by 4 electricians in about 2 weeks, tops. Don’t just plug in & see what happens, though..😁 That’d be asking for trouble. My guess is that you have at least 15-20 open circuits due to the decommissioning…. So that could be a fire hazard if you just hooked up the port side and tried to power it up…

      All due respect, Major Facepalm…..🤦 I know $ is tight, but you could round up at least a few volunteer electricians? You can’t picture an emergency where you need port side power ability? Jeez, we busted our butts to refurbish those ships, and we’re kinda attached to them as well. And I was a lowly Design draftsman…. If the power goes out, an even partially working port side power circuit could keep you open while repairs are made.

    What great and interesting videos, I look every day for a new one. Ryan , you and the team do a great service to BB 62 and the Navy in general by documenting/preserving…. But even more by educating us on scale of the efforts our previous countrymen put into creating & protecting our country. I would add as an engineer in a different field, you should have an engineering history course at one of our colleges, people need to learn from the history you and the team preserve/document. At least be a guess speaker from time to time. My 2 cents…
    I was a little surprised, but very glad to see that the local news channels/agencies gave Big J’s move air time. We need more of that, so that the younger generations & politicians don’t underestimate the responsibilities they have.

    How about a tour of the CPO quarters, radio/communications. As a CPO the CPO mess was more like a palace. RHIP certainly has advantages.

      Shame though, if it were possible to make her look underway under her own "steam" sort of.. would get a lot of attention.

      Does the navy have an interest in how BB62 is holding up from a scientific standpoint? I would think they have done a lot of research in preservation but I’ve noticed that some old lessons are sometimes forgotten. Case in point, the LCS construction methods.

    I went into dry dock twice with my ship. The tugs brought us over there because we fueled before we went in the dry dock. Also, all ammo came off. Once we were in dry dock, there were mooring lines on both sides of the ship on the captains, and they would pull us left or right forward and aft to put us right over the blocks.. then they would drain the dock and there we set out the water

    Ryan talked about the "roomba" that's going to strip the paint for this... i wonder if it's possible to have something similar that patrols the ship bottom and cleans it when it's at her normal docking spot to at least clean some of the growth.

    1:34 - Are you planning to dredge the Battleship's berth during the drydocking, or is it unnecessary because she'll have the same depth after work is complete?

  • @dmfinpa

    Understand the current dredging moratorium due to shad spawning, but is not dredging while the ship is dry-docked going to become a problem over time given ongoing progression of silt in the Camden berth?
