Why a US Military ship would fly a flag that supports piracy is beyond me. It might as well fly the Nazy flag. I would much rather see a confederate flag, as it is at least, an American flag, not a foreign one.

Well, they would probably believe USS Kidd to be a Privateer serving the US Government - meaning they only attack ships of hostile powers. The Brits used them themselves to harass Spanish and French shipping.
@@disgruntledconservativevet1798 I was on USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) and it was back in 1984. I was an AN working on the flight deck at the time. We were out in the middle of nowhere and didn't see any other ships in the area while we were conducting the ceremony. Though I thought at the time that any regular ship that saw us might be slightly unnerved by seeing an aircraft carrier flying a pirate flag. :-)
@@disgruntledconservativevet1798 No, my dumb ass only did four years. Biggest regret of my life. I pushed my son to do 20 and he did. He just retired this past August and is doing very well financially. Greatest present I ever received was a call from him thanking me for pushing him to do it.
I hate that we have to get interesting news reports like this one from Russian posts such as this one. But our own people think "Kim Kardashian possibly having Covid" is more worth their time. Better "red news" using TTS than no news I suppose.
@@xcrimsinx I was aboard at the time and was in a scene for about 2 seconds, in the background when Martin Sheen was being taken to his stateroom. I also supplied a bit of photo assist for scene set up to ensure Norfolk wasn't showing in the background for the A-7 barricade scene near the end.
The Kidd (DD-661) did not have the Jolly Roger painted on the forward stack, they had William Kidd in his tri corner hat and cape. We also had it painted on our forward stack (DDG-993). Not sure if (DDG-100) has it on their forward stack, I didn't see it in this video. Looks like they do have the anchor painted gold for 100% retention. BZ!
I knew a bunch of EOD cats who liked to fly a variant of the Jolly Roger with a crab (EOD badge) on it. EOD used to have an unofficial motto of Initial ‘Success or Total failure’ and it was on everything at the schoolhouse to our coins. Someone got upset about it though after her husband got killed in action and misconstrued the meaning to be demeaning to her late husband. Navy runs the school, and the brass caved to the pressure and the motto was removed. I mean no disrespect to her or her husband, but at the end of the day, I never found an actual tech that took issue with the motto and it shouldn’t have changed anything. Good on the Kidd’s captain for upholding a tradition. I’m sure the crew appreciated it as well.
Me, an enlightened individual: The reason why the Jolly Roger is flown is because of tradition in accordance of the USS Kidd naming. Gotta respect the original Pirates of the Pacific.
I remember when they took a picture of a sniper platoon holding a "Nazi SS" flag. The photo was circulated in black an white so you wouldn't know it was a blue sky with double white lightning bolts in the shape of 2 S's. The double lightning bolt was also our map symbol.
For my money, 2nd coolest battle flag in the fleet. I am a little beast to USS Cowpens because she was my ship. We flew a black flag with a white "Texas longhorn" in the middle. Battle flags are so cool!
“Would return downed aviators to their aircraft carrier for a hefty sum of Ice Cream.” Man, that is probably the best kind of payment one can ask for. Nice ol’ ice cream after good day’s work.
Would make my day if they painted the ship to look like an old frigate, like painted to look like it was made of wood, dress it up with some sails and shit.... That would just be too cool, and omg a plank, maybe a boo box lol
@@fastone942 The only reason I vaguely remembered, in the move The Final Countdown, the two F-14's that shot down the Zeros were painted with the Jolly Roger.
Kidd was also a DDG class hull numbers 993, 994, 995 and 996. Originally prepaid and built for Iran in the late seventies. Iran had a violent change in government. Our government said screw you we will keep these ships and your money have a nice day. We added them to our fleet upon completion. Only reason I know this is I spent a little time on USS Callaghan DDG-994.
This ship I believe was named after Rear Admiral Issac Campbell Kidd who was killed on the bridge of the battleship Arizona, was the highest ranking military fatality at pearl Harbor, and the US navy flag officer to be killed in world war two. Rest in peace sir.
Maybe it’s been talked about already, but WHAT British sub sank a German battle cruiser in WWI? Both British and German naval registries show no such event.
It should be noted that the skull and crossbones is the emblem of two US Navy fighter squadrons; VF-84 and their successor, VFA-103, both of which are known as the "Jolly Rogers" and feature the iconic symbol emblazoned on the tails of their aircraft.
now if the Seawolf does a cruise and sinks a ship, tradition says to hang a Broom from the mast entering port.. reference would be a clean sweep... FYI
My ship/boat never rendered colors to anyone. That was our tradition. We were always at war when we left port. We had enough nukes to strip the entire planet of its atmosphere. To Capt Lear, our countries greatest sub captain. To USS Alaska veterans and current crew, much respect!! So much service, so much silence. So many amazing things no one will know about.

That is so cool seeing our warships flying the Jolly Roger think all warships on counter piracy operations should fly it as well
I helped build this ship!
So proud!
Imagine being a pirate rolling up on this ship and realizing it was flying a much bigger pirate flag than you were.
I think flying a pirate flag 🏴☠️ is so badass on a destroyer!
So, the USS Kidd and then the Jolly Rogers Squadron.

Speaking of pirates.. I can't imagine what ocean going would be like if pirates had access to warships like they did at their height lol
It would make a good movie.
Now your making me imagine a pirate battleship

Barbarossa was a pirate who became a Navy Captain
Let's give those Somalians some warships and see for ourselves i think
Mission accomplished treasure collected. ☠️🏴📦. 💪
The VF 17 used the Jolly Roger on the noses of their F4U Corsairs, VF 86, and others have done the same
VF-84 inherited it, see Final Countdown movie, and it is now VF-103 carries the emblem.

HMS Conqueror the last sub to sink an enemy vessel in Battle 1982 flew the Jolly Roger when it returned home.
That ship should be allowed to fly the Jolly Rodger flag in appreciation of the service of Capt. Kidd and it looks great too.
It is allowed

These guys were awesome. I fixed over 1000 laptops and met most of the crew and captain. I sure miss my time on this ship.
The Pirate flag falls under military service flags signaling a successfully completed mission

As our sub fleet in W.W.II would come home with brooms on their periscopes, here the Kidd is showing we're still not to be messed with.
Sailed with the Kidd back in 78. No different Kidd the other Kidd was a Spruance.
VF84 and VF103 both have the jolly Roger on their tail also

“Would return downed aviators to their aircraft carrier for a hefty sum of Ice Cream.”

That was the tradition to give ice cream to any destroyer that recovered aircrew.
