Illinois and Kentucky were never finished, but were canceled in 45 and also 58 when the project was revisited. Fun fact she was never commissioned so never received her prefix (USS) .
Kentucky was about 50% complete when work finally stopped on her. There are plenty of photos of her hull be launched before she was laid up. Illinois didn't make it too much farther than the keel laying. I think she was like 20% complete when work was stopped. She was broken up on the slip. What's more interesting about these two was they were most likely going to have a very different superstructure configuration than the previous ships. They would have looked a lot more like the Oregon City or Des Moines class cruisers than the earlier Iowas.
@@dutchthespitfire3204 and after the bow of the Kentucky was added to the Wisconsin they gave the Wisconsin the Nickname the USS Whisky or Wisky not sure which one was used
4:18 The last battleship of thw Iowa class Was the Kentucky, but the shop you forget the name was the Illinois Iowa, N. Jersey, Missouri, Winscousin, Illinois & Kentucky Those 6 BBs was the Iowa class
Fun fact the Iowa suffered damaged to the front of the ship. And when it was repaired. The repairs made it a few feet longer. So it is actually the largest battleship the US ever built.... and now you know lol
Nope USS Wisconsin was due to being rammed by a friendly destroyer..... they cut away the bow and took the Bow from the Unfinished USS Kentucky. Which is why Wisconsin got the nickname WisKy It did end up being a bit longer because of it though.
I wish I could still ask my grandpa about all of this history. He used to serve on the Missouri, but he sadly passed a few years back. Thanks for the amazing history lesson and display of this ship.
I remember in the mid 70's visiting the "Mighty Mo" in Bremerton, WA. when she was mothballed. She was berthed next to the carrier Oriskany. I have some pictures of her and the Oriskany beside each other. Both of these ships are immense in size, the main batteries of Missouri, anchor chain and the shells carried were impressive. The spot of the signing of the end of hostilities between Japan and the U.S. I also have a picture of, to the right of second main battery turret.
USS Missouri also took part in regular coastal bombardments in the Korean war along with the help of cruiser Helena diverted attention away from the Incheon landings, making way for the Eighth Army offensive. She was also the last battleship to take part in combat, during the Gulf War she fired her main batteries more than 750 times and launched 28 tomahawk missles!
YES! You have it at last! So happy for you Spartan! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! And to quote a movie that features this ship: Let's drop some lead on this mother-FIRE!
I was fortunate to serve in the Navy when both the Iowa and Wisconsin were stationed in Norfolk, VA. We actually sailed to the Med with Iowa in our battle group in '89 (after the turret incident).They are very impressive in person.
@@wjgolden0830 LOL does the name Nasty Saw ring any bells? It is funny I remember when I first got to the ship I could not believe how low to the waterline the Iowa was. The deck of a Spruance seemed higher to me. However, sitting next to that behemoth the Nassau that thing made us look small.
@@Bellthorian Nassau was flat-bottomed, and sat VERY high in the water. As I remember it, the quarterdeck was on the 2nd deck. And it was still 2 decks above the waterline. At one point, we were docked next to the JFK, a freakin' aircraft carrier... and we could look down from our flight deck onto theirs.
To comment about the Kamikaze damage on the ship, you are correct. On board they have a display talking about the incident and showing the famous picture of the plane about to hit. At the impact point, if you look at the side of the ship from the deck you can see the upper lip of the waterway is dented in for a good 20-30 feet. From the water, you can see the side plating dented in closer to the waterline in the same area. This damage was superficial and never deemed worthy of repair so she still wears the marks. The Kamikaze pilots body was found in the wreckage, the Missouri's crew gave him a proper military burial at sea.
Fun fact: the Missouri in wow PC is nicknamed the trump wagon because it makes more silver than any other ship. that ship doesn’t make money it freaking prints the money.
Did you know pearl harbor is only about 55 foot deep. It's crazy how those big ass ships can come in and out. And. That the u.s.s north Carolina was the 1st battleship to enter pearl harbor after the bombing
Great Vid Spartan! Been waiting to see this beauty for a while. The small circular plaque on the starboard side of the deck next to B turret is where the surrender was signed. Eventually I will get the Missouri but it isn’t a priority. She looks amazing but Ive got plenty of American BB’s to keep me occupied.
I would love nothing more in this world than to go tour any of the Iowa class battleships but specifically Missouri because of the fact that ww2 technically ended aboard that ship, and I enjoy nothing more than studying about WW2. Unfortunately I live in Minnesota and we don't go very far very often 😫😫😫😫
I just started playing a few weeks ago and have been grinding American battleships because I really want Iowa (and Yamato eventually). I'm about 1/4 the way through New York so, a long ways to go.
I love this ship, iv been to Hawaii from the UK to go and see it. There is a circular plaque on the right hand side of the ship that is the location the table was set up to sign the surrender.
Interesting fact. All 4 Iowa's and all 4 South Dakota's could be returned to active service if America called them! "Museum ship" is just a ruse. The US Navy only agreed to their museum status on the stipulation that they could be reactivated if the country needed them.
Im guessing after all the games i have played and seen Iowa’s on full reverse and Max range most people would not have the skill cap to use this ships full potential. Play this ship allot on the pc version and the radar does come in handy. One can easily chase a dd out of a cap. Sometimes just the threat of the radar is enough without even using it. In my xperience its a good ship for aggressive moves, one just have to be able to plan 4 steps ahead at all times and it will be fine. Cant wait to Get this ship on console aswell💪
If every Iowa class battleship would get a radar because they had that in WW2, then you would also have to give that to the bismarck-class battleships and to the hipper-class heavy cruisers in this game (and probably to a lot of other ships too).
How is the credit earning potential? One of the things that made the Missouri so great on the OC version was is it PRINTED money. I had matches where it would earn a million silver. When the Missouri came out on the PC Wargaming had a deal with Steven Seagal. You got him as a captain complete with voice over and he was named after his character in Under Siege. In port he would walk around the exterior of the ship and do various things. I used to make Steven Seagal fat jokes all the time and say the easiest way to find him when the ship was in port was to see which way the ship was listing.
I like the iowa but i have seen the everytime i play with iowa class it takes cash everytime you play instead of giving money it takes alot. Warships community needs to fix this
They shot the pilot before he hit the ship. Caused him to release his bomb in the ocean. But there is a big dent in the side of the ship where the plane hit it
I get what you're saying about the US banding together for the first time since, well, the revolutionary war really because of the attack on Pearl Harbor. But, I also feel like I should point out that Hawai'i was not a US state in 1941. The naval and army installations on Oahu I believe were counted as American soil because of much the same reasons as to why the US were present in places such as the Philippines and Guam...
@@hirisk761 she is pointed towards Arizona as a permanent honour guard and a symbol Peral Harbour where ww2 began for the US and Missouri where it ended, her spot in port is where Oklahoma was, since Oklahoma was raised and she sunk on route to being broken up and its unknown where she sank.
Yea I wish that would have put it on a ship thats made for aggressive play like the Massy.This thing belongs on the moon beside its older sister the Iowa.
@@francescogionso6467 pretty sure, you get it when you do well in arena, and sometimes mission rewards. Also, if you complete/buy the campaign ship. Any levels afterwards that you surpass you get 5 steel.
No sense grinding steel if you dont buy it, id buy it just cause it would go with my other US ships. Im glad to finally see a video on it. I am only sitting at 2200 steel so its gonna be some time. I dont really care that much to be honest. Ill keep playing the game but im done spending cash on it. Wargaming is starting to get outta hand.
Gg Spartan. Not sure what to think about this ship. The radar is ok but I agree with you that it should go out further, maybe 12 kms. Let the Russian ships be different. I wish there were more consumables for it and the rest of the US bb line. I think at t7 there should be 4 x consumables and some unique to their country. I think 30k is ridiculous for the ship considering how long it takes to grind for steel. I'm now at 25k and I was keen to get the ship but now after all the hard work to grind for steel, I think I might hold out since I already have Iowa. I heard on pc the ship origanally came with a captain, it was Steven Segal and he use to walk around the deck of the ship. This was a reference to the move under siege. Pitty he's not included in legends it would have been cool.
The Kamikaze pilot that hit the Missouri’s belt was also given a full military burial with all honours etc. His body was found on the deck and the captain of Missouri at the time felt the pilot with devoted to his orders and deserved honour
Its a collector ship. As someone that mainly playd DDs I don't care that this ship has radar. I don't care that a Cleveland has radar, you properly play around it.
Something was really peculiar about that P. Bag. Everyone was shooting at him and no one was getting hits. Even when he was fouled in the boundary. It was like he had some kind of super dispersion booster. Most of your shots were bracketing him. Smells like a hack to me.
if it's an Iowa class BB, i'll grind for it. my only disappointments with the Missouri is it has less hit points than the Iowa... why is this so? I thought premium ships were fully upgraded so I'd expect that it had the "Iowa hull" upgrade which brings it to a base hit point of 70000 and with Sims as commander, up to 72K something hit points. I also don't understand the shorter range. The Iowa can reach up to 20Km but this only goes 19.5Km... not a big deal but why? I don't have the Missouri yet but if the next ship will be a New Jersey or Wisconsin, I would check the stats first when I can afford the ship.
hey who knows since they letting them test it there going to re work steel or montana going to pop soon who knows but glad to see them using it in legends
The Japanese (Aleutian Islands) and the Canadians/British (burning down the capital buildings in the District of Columbia, but politely saving all books and promptly returning them) are the only instances I can think of were the United States were directly threatened. The standard was to let the Canadians, British, French, Polish, Russians, Australians, Indians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Czechoslovakians, Swedish, Dutch, Belgians, Yukoslavians, Kroatians, and the list goes on... do all the leg work while the US enjoyed war profiteering and in both WW1 and 2 entered only after they were engaged (Lusitania/Pear Harbour) when their ego was hurt and the odds were favourable for them.
Right it had nothing to do with the fact that America was in the midst of the Great depression following WW1 and no one wanted to go into another war. Why should we go halfway across the world to fight "Europe's War" is the way it was perceived. In the end once the US got involved directly it vastly turned the tides of the war in the Allies favor. Also what you call war profiteering was the only thing keeping the Allies in the war until we showed up. If not for the Supplies the US was shipping to the Allies they would have been forced to capitulate
I'd definitely take this over the Iowa, but since we have Georgia it kinda makes this ship redundant imo. However if this would have been a campaign ship, and Georgia was a steel ship then things would have probably been much different tbh an ppl would have been grinding steel with alot more effort. I wonder if we'll be seeing coal to earn ships in the future?
Illinois and Kentucky were never finished, but were canceled in 45 and also 58 when the project was revisited. Fun fact she was never commissioned so never received her prefix (USS) .
Kentucky's bow was used for Wisconsin after it was damaged
Kentucky was about 50% complete when work finally stopped on her. There are plenty of photos of her hull be launched before she was laid up. Illinois didn't make it too much farther than the keel laying. I think she was like 20% complete when work was stopped. She was broken up on the slip. What's more interesting about these two was they were most likely going to have a very different superstructure configuration than the previous ships.

@@dutchthespitfire3204 and after the bow of the Kentucky was added to the Wisconsin they gave the Wisconsin the Nickname the USS Whisky or Wisky not sure which one was used
The Missouri, the one battleship that destroyed a giant alien warships. Reference from Battleship the movie
And the only battleship to kill a submarine from Under Siege
Both are great documentaries.
that movie was epic
If you look on Missouri's deck you can see the Japan surrender gold plaque
I like how Spartan is just calmly giving us a bit of history on the Missouri while he’s killing everyone on the opposing team.
“The ship is on fire”
I wish they had a ribbon for how often you get set on fire in this game it’s ridiculous…
4:18
The last battleship of thw Iowa class
Was the Kentucky, but the shop you forget the name was the Illinois
Iowa, N. Jersey, Missouri, Winscousin, Illinois & Kentucky
Those 6 BBs was the Iowa class
Fun fact the Iowa suffered damaged to the front of the ship. And when it was repaired. The repairs made it a few feet longer. So it is actually the largest battleship the US ever built.... and now you know lol

USS Iowa is available for visitation in Los Angeles near the Longshore marina. Not San Fran Spartan.
This ship is the one that I have wanted since this game came out. one of the most famous Ships in history.
The Missouri supported my great grandfather at Okinawa!
YES! You have it at last! So happy for you Spartan! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!
And to quote a movie that features this ship:
Let's drop some lead on this mother-FIRE!

that ship doesn’t make money it freaking prints the money.
Hawaii at the time of Pearl harbour wasn’t a state (became a state in the 50s) but it still was “American soil” since it was a territory
I just said the same thing before I saw that you beat me to it. The year was 1959.
Did you know pearl harbor is only about 55 foot deep. It's crazy how those big ass ships can come in and out.
And. That the u.s.s north Carolina was the 1st battleship to enter pearl harbor after the bombing
I've toured and walked around USS Texas, which gives scale for how big these steel behemoths were.
The 6th Iowa class battleship was to be the USS Illinois
Illinois is supposed to be the 5th and the Kentucky supposed to be the last according to the ship number before the Montana.
The ship you didn’t mention from the Iowa class was battleship Illinois
Iowa if I remember Is in San Pedro I believe it’s around the Los Angeles area
@@NIGHTSHADE1997 i just said it?
@@greatestcomrade7325 too bad I said it again so get over it
Maybe in 20 years when I get the steel saved up.
I’d love to see more in-depth story’s for historical ships. Spartan can explain
history without making it boring.
Tactic angel explains history the best
Check out the TH-cam channel Drachinifel
USS Iowa is in San Pedro, CA in LA county just outside of the city of Los Angeles
AWSOME video! Love the history! Cheers
Both Illinois and Kentucky, Were Used for material to Repair the Iowa class ships including Missouri.

Visited the Iowa museum today in Los Angeles, it was amazing the true size of the ship!
Missouri has slightly less health but slightly more armor at the torpedo bulge and significantly more at the fore and aft citadel armor.
You should come take a tour of USS Texas when it done from drydock and I believe the Iowa was the last Iowa battleship to become a museum ship
I just started playing a few weeks ago and have been grinding American battleships because I really want Iowa (and Yamato eventually). I'm about 1/4 the way through New York so, a long ways to go.
The collision happened in 1956 with uss eaton DD/DDE-510
I love this ship, iv been to Hawaii from the UK to go and see it. There is a circular plaque on the right hand side of the ship that is the location the table was set up to sign the surrender.
Some encounters with Iowa-class was when IJN Katori got vibe-checked by USS Iowa
Hawaii was a territory on 12/7/41. Considering my rate of Steel acquation, I really don't have to worry about it.
Iowa is in Los Angeles. Missouri is one of the most fun tours
Interesting fact. All 4 Iowa's and all 4 South Dakota's could be returned to active service if America called them! "Museum ship" is just a ruse. The US Navy only agreed to their museum status on the stipulation that they could be reactivated if the country needed them.
Finally someone got a TH-cam video on this thing!
Really enjoyed this one Spartan! 👍👍
Mighty MO is finally here 💪
The Iowa is in Los Angeles if I remember correctly
Yes, its at the docks in San Pedro
Fun fact, the Iowa has damage from WW2 still visible. She has a large dent in the port side of turret two from a 6 inch Japanese shore battery.

Just visited the Alabama and was awestruck!! Will be doing as many as I can...
The best symbol of the battleship USS Missouri's deck is where it was signed for surrender of Japan in 1945.
Im so glad such a wonderful ship was named after my home state

Iowa in San Diego, it says LA but it’s next to Midway in SD
The side armor of the Missouri is better than the Iowa 38 vs 25 as well as the armor on top of the citadel.
That is why i have a spare controller whenever i play, to do things like that
Good info… Thanks for sharing!
Great video information and game play
My bucket list is to visit each of the USN museum ships at least once.
plus the pc version came out with Steven segal walking the desks and it cost one million gb xb

I belive your right
A ship that cost 18 M cash Is pretty expensive by losing cash while you play with it
Fun fact the USS Missouri stared in the movie Battleship
As well as the movie Under Siege.
No in under siege its was really the Alabama pretending to be Missouri true fact
They shot the pilot before he hit the ship. Caused him to release his bomb in the ocean. But there is a big dent in the side of the ship where the plane hit it

something about the radar there are many ships that had radar in ww2 but they dont in the game so its something seeing some battleships have it .
The first time i saw a battleship was the Missouri in Under Siege with Steven Seagal.
when is aigle video coming? i was rly lucky and got it - and then got a kraken in my first game in it!
Awesome Missouri is such a ship of huge magnificence she is mostly a collectership but being the only BB with radar is a nice perk tho just a gimmick
Give it a minute idk why but I just feel like they'll introduce a Russian BB with radar
BB with radar. Now that’s aggressive
Yea I wish that would have put it on a ship thats made for aggressive play like the Massy.This thing belongs on the moon beside its older sister the Iowa.

I saw a picture of that ceremony. one of the sailors in the firing squad refused to fire his gun.
OMFG he got it 😅
I believe the cc’s got it for a week cause peek got it too and he didn’t use his steel
It's a Loan
Considering they added missouri it's only a matter of time before they add the New Jersey
btw, Hawaii was not a State at the beginning of WW2 - Became a state on August 21, 1959. It was however a Territory: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii

I'd definitely take this over the Iowa, but since we have Georgia it kinda makes this ship redundant imo. However if this would have been a campaign ship, and Georgia was a steel ship then things would have probably been much different tbh an ppl would have been grinding steel with alot more effort.

If i'm not mistaken, Missouri was used during desert storm.
Fun fact that Wisconsin is actually the longest Iowa class because of that accidental ramming
