Big fan of Vincent, thank you for posting.

BTR has let the Kidd deteriorate, like most of the rest of the city. I grew up there and was horrified at the state the City was in when I visited a couple years ago.

I saw the U.S.S. Kidd 40 years ago and it was out of the water just like this, so it's apparently happened before. That same cribbing it sits on was there then too. I remember thinking they had it that way permanently to better preserve it against the corrosive effects along the waterline, which several other memorial ships have had problems with over the years. The hull was also in pristine condition back then.

How’s it running?

The USS Kidd is a Fletcher Class Destroyer! My uncle was KIA on the USS Hopewell DD681 on Feb 14, 1945 in the Philippines!

you would think the owners would slap some rust proofer on whilst bone dry

Very little beam, giant propellers and tiny rudder compared to more modern designs. I have to wonder how steady a gun platform it was given the narrow beam.

Blast it and slap on the red lead

Thanks for sharing

Just wait there's going to be a hurricane 🌀 soon that will float it

arnt sea levels meant to be rising?

Nice

That was the 2022 Miley drought

Uss Kidd should not be with us today after 50 kamikazes but she is a beast id buy her right now but i dont have tge money for a ship like that

Well, get scraping and painting. Dont forget the naval jelly. When you are done wash up in some good ole fuel oil

I see scrap metal

The fact that this is just a small destroyer is mind blowing. I have been onboard the USS Yorktown, USS Alabama, and USS North Carolina and those all tower over this ship.

But but, global warming is causing the oceans to rise and this time next year we'll ALL be under water, how can this be??

Great video! The kidd is known as a destroyer escort. It's main mission was to protect the main fleet from submarine attacks by firing torpedoes launched from its deck and dropping depth charges in the water. Thank you for sharing. 😊

UPDATE: “On 25 April 2024, Kidd began her journey to a shipyard in Houma, Louisiana, for her first major preservation project since her arrival in Baton Rouge. The work will be undertaken by maritime construction firm Thoma-Sea, and include measures to preserve her hull and superstructure.”

Now would be a REALLY good time to scrap, fix and paint everything below the waterline.

good time for maintane

Everybody here is saying, "This is a great time to do some bottom work on her." I wholly concur. I wonder if they could do a fundraiser, Huck Finn-style. For $xx in donation, you could paint a section of her hull below waterline... under supervision, of course.

Do they still fly the jolly Roger over this uss kidd....

Good time to be doing some hull maintenance

Your camera skills are atrocious.I was dizzy in the first 60 seconds.

When you are impressed by seeing a destroyer out of water and think it's big, have a look at a BATTLESHIP, now that's big

This happens every summer.

The sonar removed is valude more then the hull

Rawhide is terrible/dangerous for dogs!!

i'm running this trigger on my AR and I love it. The only extra I've done was to add the KNS Anti-Rotation Pin Kit for added insurance. When adding the anti-rotation springs you don't need to tighten down the set screws inside the trigger housing which can cause reset problems because folks tighten the shit out of them warping the pins and causing reset problems. I was having reset problems myself and once I added the KNS pins and backed off the set screws problem was solved. I fired over 500 rounds with no reset problems or light primer strikes.

Que ternura

Ignore the positive comments 👏🏻👏🏻

Enjoy all that special time with them while they’re still here.

That's not big, this is the smallest surface combatant (major) in the navy of that time. An Arliegh Burk class destroyer displaces over 9000 tonnes standard.

dang that dog is fast

The goodest boy!

Happy Day 😊 God Bless The Animals Big and small 🐶✝️

My younger brother has the exact same thing he got for his dog. They are a lot of fun! Careful with the edges of the cup part on the thrower it can cut your dogs tongue / gums.

Cool post.

Please stop waving the camera around your making us all dizzy!

Very beautiful, breathtaking living life and enjoying your joy 🫂🦋🐞

I dunno what state you're in, but its beautiful! Much <3 from Florida!

❤❤❤

Lacrosse stick works really good also

Bacche ki jaan loge kya kitna mahnat karate ho aaplog ❤😂

Lord...my Labrador isn't much of a retriever. She'll fetch something like 3 times and then she's done. No ball obsession either

Yes, let the dog do ALL the work!😁
