Hi, sorry wasn't able to stay for the whole MSM Livestream today as we had our 18 month old Nephew over for a swim in our pool (it's 40 deg C / 104 F here in Perth, Australia) & I was the designated lifeguard. I'm now just watching the 2nd half. In answer to Kens question of me at approx 1hr & 4 mins... No, I hadn't really heard of the sinking of the "Edmund Fitzgerald". I'm pretty good on Military History (re Land, Sea & Air domains), but less so on general / commercial maritime history. Cheers

The John F Kennedy should have been made into a museum a ship. We need more classes preserved for future generations.

Thanks for the presentation Shane, we always appreciate the info!

7:42 USS Liberty mentioned! General quarters reply button, set Condition Zebra in the comments section. May God have mercy on our souls.

I got my blue nose during strong express serving on the Littlerock. Only onboard a few months, didn't really know many people, we then deployed. I joined some sailors, I think in Cherbourg, I noticed the zodiac signs on the ceiling in a bar. I made a comment about my sign to one of the guys I didn't really know. He said that's mine also. Bottom line, our birthday's are the same date, and we both joined the Navy on the same day. 50+ years later, we are still friends.

Shane of the Buffalo Naval Park, I am wondering if BITCO is going to donate $$ towards the dry dock project for the USS The Sullivans and USS Croaker ?

USS Texas: My rudder may be at 14 degrees, but it’s all there!

I wonder if after dreading you can put a large steel plate that the ships will live on and on the outside put a large lip to attach a wall to enclosed the 3 ships to empty the water like a metal dam

Really enjoyed the video, greetings from Canada! I'm looking forward to this series.

Best wishes! 🤞

Venice to Buffalo? That's going up in the world, just look at all those flooded streets in Venice ;-)

As the son of a Marine I’d like to see the Marine detachment space on the Little Rock

Darn, of course after waiting days for this I forget to show up for the stream. I guess classes starting will do that to you lol. I’m glad to see there seems to be some internal discussion in the Navy about how harsh they are with museum ships. JFK finally left for the breakers today, which is another sad reminder of that. 31:55 As I understand, Kidd doesn’t plan on putting their sonar dome back on and are instead putting a WW2 style one on. If it’s a similar enough sonar dome (as I understand they had some differences), maybe you could get theirs Wow, I hadn’t realized that the sinking pretty much set The Sullivan’s interior restoration back to square one, but it makes sense. Maybe in the meantime a hard hat tour of the unrestored parts of the hull would be possible? If you’re looking for video ideas, I think a video on Nagara would be cool. That ship had an incredible record before Croaker took her out

Hey

My Grandfather was on the USS Escolar.

I remember spending the night on the USS Littlerock when I was a kid back in 2000. The croaker, Little rock, and Sullivan's were lined up bow to stern

Good video Shane, we appreciate the update, and looking forward to the upcoming videos! I’m assuming Little Rock will go back into her current position after Croaker and Sullivans leave for dry dock?

Very interesting about the rudder! I would bet money that’s where the myth that her entire rudder was removed that I emailed you about came from. Also, looking at the photo of the removed propeller, it looks like they cut it where the supports meet the shaft, so I wonder if the supports for the shaft are still on the hull. Hoping it turns out the rudder wasn’t cut too high, maybe the Kidd can donate their unneeded lower rudder haha

Interesting, video and update. Thank you for the information. I missed it last night as I had a procedure on my back. As soon as I had coffee I watched it. A great job as always. Btw I wore my save The Sullivans Tee shirt to the Doctor's Office

Hope to make it back up there for some fine warships and of course a Bills game

Shane, maybe see if the kidds crew will hold on to that cut off chunk of rudder a while! Might fit Sully. I heard they were going to cut it up and sell the pieces to help fund their drydocking.. Looking forward to the detailed drydock series, what a wonderful idea.

Thanks for another great video Shane, and thanks for showing us some things we wouldn't know otherwise. I'm looking forward to getting a look into the ongoing process.

Thanks for the update

Shane, The information in this video was absolutely fascinating, and helped to give me a good overview of this part of the whole process. Thank you!

hi, Shane, excellent, fascinating video as always 👏. Ashame they had to cut the rudder..but confident you'll figure it out👍. The map of the riverbed reminds me of a topography map, just underwater?, very useful/ helpful. Dredging will definitely help give our Big Gals more room. Looking forward to seeing the clip "Destination Dry Dock" ! Take care, stay warm! and ty so much for sharing this and doing all you do ❣️

Great video as always, thank you. Will you be putting the Little Rock back after dredging and while the Croaker and Sullivans are away?

My Granddaddy was a S1 on the USS Guadalcanal… so proud of that, as well as of him!! Thanks, for all the information herein this video, as well as for the video!! Blessed Be!!

I've always been under the impression that this would be a standard thing for any organization. I know I've had to develop various plans for disasters/emergencies where I've worked over the years.

Very nice video Shane! I've been contemplating doing some research into Carter's navy history, so I'm glad to see you touch on it here! Hope your holidays were great and I'm looking forward to the upcoming drydock series!

Thanks for the video Shane, he had alot of accomplishments to be sure, and a good long life.

Very good overview of Carter’s life and presidency! I’m sure there will be much talk of the more controversial aspects of his presidency, but I think most can agree that regardless of how you rate his presidency as a whole, he did have some major achievements and was one of the most admirable people to serve as president

I hate to be rude, but Carter promised the military that he would give us a pay raise that would get us even with all the past years we had gotten behind. It worked out to a 6% pay raise. After he won, he changed his mind and only gave us a 2.14% pay raise that didn't even get us even with the year he took office. I registered to vote after that and voted ever since then.

🤢🤮

my Uncle Tony " Skiz" Perry was on the Abner Read and was rescued on 11/2 he just turned 100 last year

Wow, that is great. They are proud joining the military, it is good to give them an avenue to show that the nation is proud for their commitment to this country.

Served on her from 1966 to 1968.

Four of these beautiful boats came into our small fishing harbor in Fort Bragg California around 1970 I think it was, they tied up next to our Coast Guard Cutter. They had been out at sea traveling somewhere and one of the sailors got hurt so they brought him to my port. My Dad was a WW2 Navy veteran and commercial fisherman and also friends with the Captain of the Coast Guard picked 10-year-old me up and we drove down and walked along the dock and looked at them my Dad loved Navy boats of any kind, i told this story on another site about the Nasty boats and the skipper of PTF22 actually replied under my story saying he was one of the boats that came into our small port back then and remembered that incident.

the Jew will cry peace peace peace the whole time making war I will never be a treaty they will not honor any treaty since the book of Esther and before they are the spawn of Satan John 8:44

One potential addition to your list, Shane: Arleigh Burke-class USS ROOSEVELT (DDG-80), named for both President Franklin and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Not necessarily intergenerational, but multiple persons like THE SULLIVANS.

TY another great video

Thanks for the video Shane, and Happy New Year!

I like this fill in the History that is not covered anywhere else. I have read several books on this area of the war, and the complete history of submarines during WWII, and there is no mention of this. Shane, you have filled in some of the blanks. Thank You for taking the time to research this.

Happy New Year Shane and crew, and here's to many more.

I wonder if the name was chosen to be weird enough on pronunciation that it wouldn't be easily spoofed by the enemy.

Great video Shane

Hey all, happy new year

12/16ths how quaint. Engineer who mapped the ship should've wrote 96/128ths inch for Tim to appear (falsely) even more precise. I use inches daily and 12/16 is called 3/4 inch in Common Parlance, its same as shown on measuring tapes and even digital calipers that display fractional inches will show 3/4". IF that engineer working who mapped the ship for Tim ever calls up some big box store asking for a 12/16 inch bolt will probably be told they don't make them LOL. Working as general machinist and saying 12/16 would've gotten my head swatted in the 1980s, but saying .75 inch or 750 mils is equally fine. Bet that engineer can't tell time either calling 9:00am as 9/12ths of an hour fCs.

The truth is for bravely be tell. And not cowardly be hidden, MQ. Why to this day, none of our whole corrupt, putrid and treasonous Cabinets, Governments and Spying Agencies since 6/8/1967, were never accused, punish, suit or topple.That crime was a complete foreign military act of war and aggression against our American national security, nation and a violation by a foreign agency, entity or Government and simply a interfering, meddling and terrorism act, against our American nation, with the criminal, immoral and treasonous intentions and help of our treasonous Governments and Spying Agencies, even the International Court would have help. American is rule by Zionism, C.O.

My grandfather served on the Abner Read. I have some historical documentation that may be of interest!
