A Danish Frigate taking on fuel in Aalborg Harbor
In this video I look at the Danish frigate Peter Willemoes (F362), which is one of three Iver Huitfeldt class frigates operated by the Danish navy. The ship is in the process of taking on fuel provided by a number of tanker trucks. I take a look at the ship's weapons, including one of its two 76 mm cannons and a 35 mm CIWS.

    Thanks for posting the video and providing a little insight and history. When I am in the area, I'll try to walk this trail, the tunnel for the river looks interesting. There are plenty of unique places that are not well known but are small gems to be discovered. So just to add to places to visit, there are remains of the old Lackawanna Railroad Turntable in Boonton NJ. It's right next to an unused railroad bridge over the Rockaway River. It's not even a hike, it's like 200 feet down a path, and there's a small Railroad Museum very close by on Morris Ave, but it has not been open when I've passed through. Since now you've got me thinking, there are plenty of towns and places named High Bridge, and it's probably a clue that there's some interesting topography there. There's a High Bridge connecting Manhattan and the Bronx, a fantastic stone and steel aqueduct. It's been renovated with a pedestrian walkway on the top. In my opinion, one of the most unique and interesting bridges in the area. Thanks again!

    The plant was obsolete. The compressors shown should have been replaced in the 1970's or 1980's. They dumped ore from the pit right into the furnace. Other mills had ovens that used waste heat captured from the furnace to preheat the ore. Also, if you look at films of this plant in the 1970's, the steel was moved about the grounds several times during rolling. By rail, which required a locomotive and rail cars. After each move, the steel had to reheated in an oven. This added extra costs that other mills didn't have.

    I started with Bethlehem Steel right out of college in 1969 with a training program there in Pennsylvania teaching us about the complete process as well as the products and services of all the divisions. Mornings in lectures and afternoons to each operation. After weeks I went to the new Burns Harbor plant where I worked in the 160 in plate mill. At that time they were unloading South Korean hot roll coils across the small harbor destined for the auto industry parts manufacturers. I saw then that American steel was doomed.

    I come from the UK and our steel industry went the same way. Japan, Germany & later on China designated their steel industries as "Strategic". This meant government subsidies in the form of cheap electricity etc. So the outcome was these countries could "dump" steel at low prices into the USA and UK and undercut the local steel suppliers. Once they had collapsed then they had the markets to themselves. I don't know whether our Governments are callous or just plain stupid. Those that were around at the time figured out what the game was, but no-one in power cared.

    As A child to my year's growing up near the City of Pittsburgh. I had hoped to woyin A Steel Mill. But by my graduation year, 1983. It wasn't going to be. The anger of many in and around the American Steel Factories tore the Strength and Spirit of all the Cites / and households which had worked for those Companies. Shutting down of each Mill was the death of more than just good paying jobs. But killing of hard working People who relied on how everything was tied to Each Mill,, with each Burroughs & neighborhoods. That came to the Rust belt poverty's in how, we haven't recovered. it saddens me when I drive around Pittsburgh, in how empty it feels, as the life bloodline was murdered by Big Business just only think of prophet, And not, The cities where familiar lived and worked. To be denied A future that killed by Japanese steel. God bless, Those who Worked and Made our Country what was it's distinctive pride in American Steel.

    They’re not allowed to say “The Union”. Unions are like cancer. When they take over, all efficiency ends. Union bosses decide everything: who does which job, which products gets made, who gets paid how much, and who gets promoted. It’s all political. Outcomes don’t matter. The worst people run the factory, and nobody gets fired. You end up with millions of organized assholes; with no concern for price or quality. They just create an easy life for themselves, and screw the taxpayers. Unions are government-sponsored Mafia.

      @@theroadbackhome2022 Well said. The problem with “Unions” is that they no longer have the best interests of the country at heart. All unions are now just part of a giant communist “machine” which intends to destroy private initiative. The real intent of unions is to destroy human freedom. In a unionized world, nobody can open a business, or hire people, or make plans. It’s all done by the unions. So there’s no reason to pretend that unions are good or useful. They’re nothing but evil monsters. All unions worldwide, need to be completely eliminated and that can only be done by eliminating communism itself. In a good world, people have the freedom to try new things. They can open a business, hire people, fire people, succeed and fail. That’s an educational process which keeps people busy. There’s always something new to try. In my home town of Louisville, the communists are so vicious that they bankrupt any small business that opens. They are that evil. That’s why food is so expensive. The unions control the farms, and the supermarkets. Clearing-out the unions will be very difficult because the War Department is the Union Boss. Our entire government and military is one giant heavily-armed extortion racket. A union.

    The railroad bridge that is featured here was part of the Lehigh & Hudson River Railroad. The rails were removed in 1986. The larger concrete bridge dates to the original Warren Railroad built by John I. Blair. That line later became part of the Lackawanna Railroad and Erie-Lackawanna Railroad. The tracks were abandoned in 1970 and the rails removed soon after.

    EAF technology wasn't fully developed and used widespread in steel mills until the late 60's and 70's, giving rise to minimills. The rebuilding of German and Japanese mills involved blast furnaces and conventional integrated steelmaking. Bethlehem Steel was so insular and conservative that it was the last integrated producer to embrace BOF technology, clinging to open hearth furnaces to convert iron to steel long after most of her competitors built BOF's. My dad worked in purchasing at their main office in Bethlehem from 1951 to 1968, and often lamented at Beth Steel's reluctance to embrace new technology. They hired enginheers directly from Lehigh University, which they supported, and only promoted from within, people who were indoctrinated in how they do business, discouraging innovations not developed by their own Homer Laboratory. My family worked at Bethlehem 3 generations, starting in 1901 with my great grandfather. When it closed it felt like the death of a family member, but no funeral to attend.

      The video neglected to discuss the nationwide 116 day strike of workers at all steel mills in the country in 1959. The lack of available steel forced customers to buy imported steel to keep their businesses solvent. That greatly increased the market share of imported steel from that time forward, and by the 1970's the oversupply of steel in the US market and worldwide slashed profits of US producers. Also, the environmental awareness starting in 1969 with Each Day led to the EPA and through the 1970's US mills had to spend most of their capital on retrofitting with pollution control equipment instead of replacing older obsolete production equipment with new, more efficient equipment. The collapse and shrinkage of steel production in the 70's and beyond had many contributing causes, including government, mismanagement, labor, consumer, banking and global economics.
