Your Lady is wonderful and is worth protecting. I'm a retired USN enlisted sailor, a destroyerman though I don't go back as far as your Kidd does. I've sent you a small donation to help.
Thank you Barry. All my working life was spent working with steel in engineering but I've never heard corrosion exlained so clearly and in such a down to earth manner.
This is like proper... almost like watching a group of us guys talking about our cars .. hours and hours of research blood sweat and tears put into these beauties and the pride of these two curators just talking about their passionate projects qith their ships is utterly amazing. Thank you both and to all the volunteers who help with the preservation of these amazing vessels
Came here thanks to Ryan, decided to subscribe due to the solid science content. Really loving these kind of analyses, would love to see more videos as the grounding issues are being addressed with the Kidd :)
Based off what I have read with respect to galvanic corrosion, from the AYBC standards, you do not want to connect ground to the ship/boat when connected to shore power. You want to have it floating. This will isolate the boat not to become a grounding rod. While you have sacrificial anodes installed as well, for shore power connections normally the galvanic isolators used will break the ground connection. It also will allow that connection to be bridged in an emergency for safety (short etc), but normal operation is not to have a ground from shore power to the boat. Also you have to keep the AC/DC systems isolated from the hull. I would assume that is impossible as well on an older ship like that.
Amazon Prime TV offers a series "The History of the United States Navy." It has 24 episodes, each about 30 minutes, authored & presented by Craig L. Symonds, a retired professor from the US Naval Academy & Navy War College. I've found it VERY interesting!
Fun fact: Ryan measures 1 unit of curator in height. ;D Oh but if your wondering who he is? See first few minutes of video in white hardhat and blue shirt and is the museum curator of BB-62 USS Battleship New Jersey.
You need to get the school children involved. A school donation campaign (a dollar per student) could fund the Kidd in perpetuity and that's where your bread and butter is for the future. Otherwise, history is slowly dying.
Didn't the Kidd get hit by a five inch shell by the USS North Carolina BB55 in a friendly fire accident and the North Carolina sent over a cake and ice cream as an apology?
@@RobertCraft-re5sf As the say, don't let your mouth write a check your butt can't cash! Germany and Japan started the war. We and Allies ended the war. It sucks to be the loser. But think what the world would be like if they had won. Not a pretty picture is it!
@@klsc8510 That's the official story, written by the victors who always get to slander the losers. Dig deeper. Imperial Japan had no quarrel with the United States until the US messed with Japan's oil needs. BANKERS started the war, dear friend, as they always do and they play both sides. Read some General Smedley Butler for some insight.
As a 21 year military veteran that always dealt with electronics, this was most interesting.

@@robertf3479: Thank you, Robert! ❤️ We love her very much and are so pleased that you do too. She IS worth protecting. Every penny. Thank you.

Normally grounding a ship is a career ender for the Captain. This type of grounding is a good thing!
Ehhhh.... 🫳🫴🫳 😄 That's RUNNING Aground. Weeee bit different. 🤏🙂
USS New Jersey Curator Ryan Szymanski Is A Cool Dude

As someone who git their PhD funded by ONR to do corrosion studies, this video made me smile.

Ryan sent me :-)
@@mctag5317: He does that, ya know? 🙂 #OneFleet
More to look out for if i ever get my own museum ship someday. Thanks.
Great work guys

Very nice
Bit of work needed there sadly. Better it’s treated now than when it’s too late.
Ryan Szimanski?!

@johnanon6938 Definitely not wondering...I just thought this was a New Jersey video and then I go...oh this is the Kidd.

@@charlesemerson3484: Actually, two or three shells depending on which oral history you read!
Remember Pearl Harbor
Remember Tokyo and over 50 other large cities. Remember Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin, Rotterdam, etc, etc, etc... 😢
