Man, every time I see or hear of the *CV-63 USS Kitty Hawk,* it makes me kinda sad that they didn't keep it as a Museum.

I had no idea the US has had this many aircraft carriers, this was an awesome presentation and I learned a lot. Thank you!

US should expand it's carrier force to 15.....That would keep China at bay

I served on the USS Columbus CG-12 as a Signalman SM2 fm the time She was re-commisioned as a CG-12 in 1962 at Bremerton, Wash. Naval Shpyd for 4yrs.

Served on Saratoga CV-60 and Independence CV-62…. As a crewman on both…I prefer they were “dismantled “ not scrapped …it sounds to cruel for these grand ladies of the sea.

My uncle was on the USS Juneau CL-52

I served as Assistant EMO/EMO on USS Chicago CG-11 from 1977 to decommissioning on 1 Mar 1980. She was converted from USS Chicago CA-136; Commissioned 10 January 1945, Decommissioned 6 June 1947, Reclassified CG-11, 01 November 1958, Recommissioned 2 May 1964. She was the best ship I ever served on. CWO4 USN Ret.

I want more.

It's sad all those post war armored cruisers going to the scrap yard. Modern war ships look like cartoon characters compared to those old beautiful ships. Would be nice if more could have been made to museum status.

USS PT658 and USS LCI(L)713 museum ships located in Portland OR near the Blueback submarine. Also USS LST325. You left out all amphibs, dont they count?

Nicely done...but I waited until the end to see USS Chicago, CG-11....I served in her 72-74...she was the former CA named Chicago refitted with missiles....no mention at all...

You misspelled the name of the first ship. Jesus Christ, man, get help.

You spelled scuttled wrong!!!!

Very nice presentation. Thank you.`

Very cool video !! Well done !!

The island of the USS Iwo Jima is located in Corpus Christi.

I support the LST 325

CVN 81, will be the USS Doris Miller. My fellow welders and I worked on CVN 78, and 79. Glory!

I served on Ranger, Kitty Hawk, America, Eisenhower, and Washington.

CA 148?

Great job on this thank you !

I went to the Intrepid

Enjoyed the list but...Why would you not have the USS Texas and USS Maine to begin your list? They are listed in the US National Archives as the first two USN Battleships. Yes, the USS Texas (unnumbered) didn't have a BB#, but by all historical accounts she was a pre-dreadnought battleship built by the USN and was the first American battleship to be commissioned (3-months earlier) on 15 August 1895. Then there was the USS Maine (ARC1), who also didn't have a BB#. She was commissioned (2-months earlier) on 17 September 1895 The USS Indiana (BB-1) was commissioned on 20 November 1895.

Thank you for this very helpful video...

Dad serviced aboard the Trenton ww two he loved his ship❤

I’d like to visit Japanese warships, but it’s so hard to get to the ocean floor.

nice pics

Its sad that some of the battleships only have a few years of use They are basically new. We certainly didn't get our money out of them...

That was an excellent compendium you put together. Thank you very much. This is a great reference work.

The uss clamagore is no longer in Charleston sc they dismantled it a year ago

I was on the EDSON for 3 1/2 years. I just was there in AUGUST and lived on the ship for a week.

USS orlick moved to Jacksonville fl two years ago

I was an electronic warfare operator in the Royal Canadian Navy during the cold war posted to the west coast. I really enjoyed seeing some of the ships i worked with, great memories. Thanks Shipmate!

what about the Constitution?

USS Cincinnati (CL 6)

What a fascinating survey of service, deterrence, and hybris. Many thanks.

The entry for USS Maine needs an asterisk, you must be referring to post-war Maine Number 2.

👏👏👏!!! Very detailed, perfect documentary👍!!! So glad you did it cryologically, as I am somewhat anal (which is good, such as perfection. But not 'retentive', which is asshole like). I got jealous when, we got to USS IOWA BB6. I didn't know they renamed battleships, more than once. I thought, the state's name, was retired. The reason I was jealous was, 'cause I thought battleship New Jersey, was built only once, but I see other states had theirs (and ours), recommissioned. Montana was the only state NOT, to have one?? Thanks, for this 😁!!

USS Princeton CVL-23 was not hit by a kamikaze, but rather severely damaged by bombing from a Jap aircraft, then later torpedoed and sunk by USS Reno.

👀 *promosm*!!!

A nice start, but damaged ships should be in a separate video since so many were missed and to include them it would be too long. And narration would greatly enhance the presentation. Some to include off the top of my head: 1942: Cruisers Marblehead and its' epic journey home, Boise, Louisville, San Francisco, Portland, New Orleans, Minneapolis, and Pensacola; Carriers Enterprise, and Saratoga (2X bomb and torpedo damage respectively). 1944: Cruisers Houston and Birmingham in its ordeal assisting the Aircraft Carrier Princeton 1945: Destroyer Laffey and other kamikaze victims 1950: Battleship Missouri Grounding 1967: Aircraft Carrier Forrestal Fire 1968: Pueblo Incident Late Seventies: Belknap/Kennedy collision 1985: Aircraft Carrier Coral Sea collision 1988: Aircraft Carrier Eisenhower pier collision at homeport Norfolk, VA pier 1987: Frigate Stark by Iraq missile attack and the warships that hit Iranian mines in the Persian Gulf 1988: Battleship Iowa turret explosion causing its' premature decom And I believe an attack submarine (San Francisco?) rammed an underwater mountain in the pacific and survived but badly damaged during your timeframe. I Understand the following are beyond the scope of this presentation 2000: Destroyer Cole More recent: 2017 and later - at least two collisions and the Bonhomme Richard fire

Cool history of the battleships the US has had and to see their evolution. Should add to the "Fate" section of that the USS West Virginia BB-48 was sunk at Pearl Harbor, refloated, refitted and fought again in WWII. Even being in Tokyo Bay for the signing of the surrender of the Japanese Empire.

Interesting video...

That would stink, not even making to the war😢

At 36:12 That's USS Ohio, not USS Wisconsin

What a Great Video? Audio would of been Better too have with a Little more Detail of Each Ship's Personal History n Action Record ⏺️⏺️. But they were Some Fantastic Ship's with Well Recognized Name's that will Always be well thought of. Thank You for Sharing ☺️😊☺️😊

Enjoyed the video. However USS Nevada, BB 36, was missed. At Pearl, she suffered hits from one torpedo and half a dozen bombs resulting in a loss of about 60 crewmen. She was returned to service in October, 1942, and later provided shore bombardment at Utah Beach on D-day. Later, she also provided shore bombardment at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Also, USS Shaw, DD 373, heavily damaged at Pearl and after extensive repairs, she returned to the fight with distinguished service. Shaw survived the remainder of WW II with 11 battle stars.

Nice effort, but white text on nearly white backgrounds makes this problematic. Perhaps a narrator?

My Grandfather was an machinist on the USS Buck DD420 sunk 10-9-43. They thought they had put all the pins back into the depth chargers before the ship sank. Turns out they missed one. A lot of the people were killed by their depth charge after the ship sank. My Grandfather was hit by metal from that explosion in the stomach. He was one of the lucky 97 that survived. He received a purple heart for that. He was a great man. I miss him & my father a lot. 🫤

There is no evidence the Main was bombed. All evidence points to a coal dust explosion in a coal bunker. The ignorance of YT content creators is amazing.
