Several years ago we toured the North Carolina, most of it anyway as one of our group didn't want to continue. We missed the forward turrets and whatever was up in the bow. It was awesome of the various stations, berthing, both Captains cabins, galley, and engine room, medical, plots, and such. I read here where some complained about the various modifications made to her, hey she's now a museum ship never again will she see the open seas, these modifications and cutouts were made so that most anyone could access the parts of the ship that were otherwise inaccessible. I would love to return and tour her again seeing those areas we missed and would love to see some of the other ships that have been saved and now on display.

Greatest Restoration of History that I've ever seen throughout the ship!

An engineering marvel for the time it was built! The electronics and avionics to operate the ship by itself is mind blowing! The USS North Carolina tour is well worth the time for anyone interested in engineering or manufacturing!

Dude!! Nerves of steel.

Sounds good. Did you make this? Still doing artwork or have you given up on that?

Give my body back to the earth and not complain....

Its beyond me why people record through a mic of speakers in a room when you can plug it direct into the rec jack.

the two and things i hate about museum ships. One, they alter the ship for museum purposes (cutting barbettes for entrance, adding stairs that were not originally there), along with stripping "non important" rooms to add museum bullshit items, which potentially can piss a vet off because that may have been their battlestation in the past. The second is that they constantly give the excuse that spaces are too dangerous, ladders to high, stairs to narrow, corridors too narrow. That is horse shit. People my age used to navigate those corridors, climb those ladders, use those stairs, i want to experience life how THEY did? Sure ill sign a waiver, ill wear a hard hat, ill wear steel toed boots, but there is no real reason why i cannot climb into a 16 inch gun pit, down tall 6 levels of the rotating structure, just because it is "unsafe". THere should be a tour optional for ONLY the hardcore tourists, where they are permitted into rooms that are closed off, ladders that would NEVER be allowed to be climbed, engine rooms, pump rooms, fire control directors, mast tops (excluding the actual exterior of the tower mast) and other cool and interesting places that, contrary to the museum foundations beliefs, will NEVER be opened to the general public.

I think you did a great job on this video, I especially enjoyed being able to read the info plaques posted along the tour route. Thanks for taking the time!!

Isn't it funny how a non direct recording of vinyl can sound better than distorted mastering jobs done to cd....even while on youtube haha :D. Got to love vinyl!

stayed for the beards

this is one of my favorite AC/DC songs

@MetalandHotRods Its a pretty nice little turntable for the money. I replaced my cartridge with a Shure SC35C. It has a nice high output and an even frequency range with low record wear.

a video camera is not a "Point-and-Shoot" you must hold the camera steady, aimed at asubject to give the viewer the chance to see what you have shot.

Great vid!

My grandfather served aboard the North Carolina during World War 2. Thanks for posting these videos!

@Littlejackson89 I completely agree. Thanks for the comment.

One song for the rest of my life? this would be it <3

@builttrainer The record is Mamas and Papas 20 golden hits. A two record set put out by Dunhill records (ABC) DSX-50145

Hello. Which album is this from, please? thank you.

@Robkat3751 Next time I go, i'll take a slower, more detailed video. I was mostly trying out a new camera on this one.

I agree with the previous comment. However it was a good sneak preview of what it's was all about below the decks of these monster battle wagons.
