- After my Train Odyssey 4, I visited some museums in Virginia, then drove down to Charleston, South Carolina, so see the Civil War submarine "Hunley". My appointment there was in the mid-afternoon, so I had time to spend a few hours at Patriots Point.

My dad served in the Clamagore in the early 50’s as the Corpsman. It was stationed in Key West. I was onboard for a Christmas Holiday visit. I recall being on the dock with my mother
and siblings to see the submarine come into port with the crew standing on the deck. I remember when the Clamagore was towed to the musem site. A full page picture was on the front page of the News & Courier of it going under the Ashley/Cooper bridge.I saw it again on a visit to the musem and I’m happy to see my memories preserved here.
I remember my dad showing us the Vietnamese tent city is the 70's.
Great to watch your tour of these ships, especially the Laffey as I was stationed on her. I made one Med cruise and one Caribbean cruise on her. I remember we hit a Nor'easter off Cape Hatteras with wave heights approaching 50'. Worst seas I ever saw, we had to turn back to Norfolk as we had so much damage to the ship. I was a radioman on the Laffey and had a general quarters station as Trainer in Mt 51. I toured the Laffey back in 2018 and got in on the tail end of a tour given by a Navy officer. When I informed them that I was actually stationed on board the Laffey he ask me to give the tour.
One thing is for sure, “it is not a lot of junk” as you said! I resent you even saying that, you are FREE to tour it because of the ones that gave their ALL for you to have that freedom. Respect it like that as they deserve and have earned that respect from every one of us! I am from Charleston and also a 10% Disabled Vietnam Veteran who proudly salutes and thank every Veteran that I see and identify as a Veteran of every branch of our military.
Bob Wieters, I fully respect the sacrifice made by others on the behalf of the country. But that is NOT the same thing as feeling like I cannot call things as I see them, which has very little to do with your comment. I have heard a great many veterans essentially tell others that they don't have the very rights that those same veterans claim they fought to protect, such as the freedom of speech.
@@youtuuba I agree with you. I am a navy veteran of Vietnam (Australian Navy) and there is far too much Disney and not enough good old USN on board that fine old veteran.
Sticking a restaurant, vending machines, and catering space etc in the hanger deck seemed tacky and disrespectful to me, more so than calling it "junk".
I thought the same things 👍🏻🫡
The why they have the ship configured helps the up keep of it I’m sure 🫡🇺🇸😊
That's not just "an aircraft carrier"... That's the USS Yorktown CV-10, "The Fighting Lady". Our Boy Scout Troop "camped" in the crew's berthing overnight, and some earned their Aviation Merit Badge on the flight deck, thanks to a volunteer. I was stationed at "Home Port" Charleston aboard my second Knox Class Frigate, the USS Joseph Hewes FF-1078, from 1979-81.
I stayed on the Yorktown overnight as a kid when I was in the boy scouts and have been to Patriots point several times throughout my life. Cool to see the changes they've done even if all aren't for the best. Was like a blast to the past watching you walk through everything. Could still smell the smells of the ship and the got the feelings I had as a kid going through there. Really enjoyed this.
The predecessor to the USS Laffey ( DD 724 ) shown here was the USS Laffey ( DD 459 ). The DD 459 Laffey fought gallantly at
the battle of Guadlcanal and I believe was known as the Destroyer who fought like a Battleship.
I remember a coast guard ship being out there. I toured all 3 ships and sub in a pittle over 10 hours. Also when walking over the bridge over the water to the yorktown, keep an eye out for the huge fish below
The 5 inch gun's MAIN PURPOSE is anti-aircraft. I was stationed aboard the USS CANBERRA for four years, saw all guns in action many times. Our 8 inch was for shore bombardment, the fives were for air defense but also used for shore, and the 3 inch were anti air and anti ship.One of my collateral duties was directing the fire of the 8 inch. TONS of fun!
I seen the Canberra being actively scrapped... We needed a breach block for Mount 51, on the USS Providence CLG-6, off the Canberra. We used a mike boat to pull up along side her... What magnificent ship the USS Canberra was ! I also was stationed in country Vietnam I corps brown water Navy. 70-71
I enjoyed the tour. Thank you.
pppppppppppppppppppppppppp p.p ĺlll
It breaks my heart to see the Clamagore in such a state. That is my childhood, right there. I grew up in the area, and visited Patriot's Point at least once or twice a year as a child, and I always thought the submarine was the coolest part. I have spent the last 20 years living in a different state, and haven't been able to visit the museum very often. Around the same time you made this video, I heard they were planning to sink the Clamagore and make it a reef, so I went back to visit one last time. I'm not going to lie, I was extremely saddened to see the decayed ruins of the submarine I always loved to visit as a child. I really wish they would find a way to preserve and rebuild the exterior and keep the submarine on display. Unfortunately, a friend of mine who lives in the area was just there last month and said that the Clamagore is now permanently closed to visitors.
I never served on the Clamagore, of course, because of how long ago it was. I never even knew anyone who was stationed aboard the Clamagore. But I still feel a personal connection and an extreme loss, because I literally grew up visiting the Clamagore frequently. It is a shame that it has deteriorated so badly and looks like it will no longer be a museum ship.
There’s another video on YT that shows they’re going to Reef it after equipment removal and environmental cleanup. At least they’re not going to scrap it.
Back in the ‘80’s when I was stationed there, every week there’d be a Fast-Attack or Destroyer headed out to sea, or coming home, always going by Patriot’s Point and Ft. Sumter. I still remember opening the hatch and going topside to pull the mooring lines out; that damned smell from the WestVaCo mill upriver was the #1 indicator that we were home.🤢😵💫😖
loving these walk round vids.. top work!
I was stationed on the USS Frank Cable (AS40) at Charleston... we visited Patriots Point sometime around early 90s. I never thought I would miss being on a ship back then, but I sure do now, particularly underway. Even though I spent a lot of time on larger ships, I never cease to be amazed at the insane scale of these giants. One thing visitors won't experience is how the whole ship vibrates a little.. kinda just thrumming.. when she's underway. Best sleep I ever had in my life was on a ship underway. Thanks for the tour.. it takes me back to my time in Charleston!
I served on the USS YORTOWN CVS-10, from '65-'68. V-2 Div. Catapaults and Arresting Gears. My brother served on her from '64-'68, he was in 3rd Div.. I visited her in 2015.
@@robertprescott2284 Thank you.
I went to Patriot 's Point in 2016 and visited the USS Yorktown. Checked out the Port Catapult machinery space where I also worked besides the topside Cats.
The first "scope" seen at 1:52:36 is The SPA4A. I saw this RADAR PPI ( Plan Position Indicator or just plain SCOPE) ) every day in several places around the ship, for 4 years. This one is on the bridge.Wonderful wonderful memories here. "RADAR" is an acronym for "Radio Detection And Ranging" .It shows the compass bearing and the distance to the target.
I enjoyed and seem went with you . Thank you very much . (watched from BBK Thailand)
Thanks for the tour...and all of the great information. I was stationed aboard Yorktown sister ship, U.S.S. Ticonderoga CVA-14 for two years. Your tour brought back lots of great, and not so great, memories. Got a real kick out of you getting lost and banging your head. Even after 2 years aboard the Tico...I still got lost once in awhile...and never got passed banging my head. I so enjoy your channel. Thanks, again!
WOW ! What a great video to watch. I was on a Gearing Class destroyer starting in Dec 1968. Watching this video really brought back memories. The destroyer you just toured was closely laid out the same a the Charles R. Ware DD 865, that I was on.

As a veteran of the Kitty Hawk CV63, we have been trying unsuccessfully to try to get the ship as a museum. Problems with carriers and setting up as museums, is the cost of not only receiving the ship, but moving it to its resting place and operating the museum itself. One of the most successful museum carriers is the Midway in San Diego. They are constantly moving exhibits in and out of the ship in order to offer different shows and exhibits to get returning customers coming back to the ship. It is a novel idea, that is why you see “stuff” usually not related to the ship, but related to the historical era which the ship operated and other war era’s.
great tour thanks for taking us along !!!!!!!!!!!
my friend, i do love your knowledge about these items and your narration. i thoroughly am enjoying these videos of yours. keep up the good work my friend. keep it up
greetings from Oregon. I very much enjoys this video. If I ever get out that way this will be one of my stops. Although I known about the aircraft carrier and Destroyer being there you provided much more cool stuff that now I REALLY want to visit this place. Thanks for sharing.
I went there for a few visits back during the Reagan military build up as a contractor for the US Navy. What stood out the most for me about Charleston S.C. was the smell in the air from pulp factory there. I went back several times during my career as a naval contractor and that smell was always in the air.
The museums there were fantastic. Never made it out to Ft. Sumpter which I regret to this day. Making plans to return there soon. The nuclear powered cargo / cruise ship there on display was particularly interesting.

Oddly, although I have often worked in, or nearby, paper pulp mills during my career and know their smell, I did not detect any of that during this visit to the area.
I remember that smell very well. I was stationed in Charleston on the USS MacDonough (DDG-39) and it was always a pleasure to get underway and get away from that pulp mill. 🙂
What a wonderful video Paul. I'd like to make this tour myself one day. You are very inspirational in all your videos. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic vid man! Thanks for sharing, and greets from the Netherlands. T.
What A AWESOME AND AMAZING tour
thank you my friend for bringing me along
Nice job on the tour! I really enjoy touring retired ships. I wish deck plans were available for the entire ship. I have found it pretty easy to lose your bearings when on aircraft carriers and battleships.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. The Vietnam war display looked incredibly realistic with all the artifacts preserved and intact: aircraft, artillery pieces, swift water craft, to the structures right down to the communications posts, hootches, dining facilities and latrines. We should have honored our Vietnam veterans for their service instead of turning our backs as a nation. Shameful.
TROOP 72 BSA from Lancaster spent the night on the Yorktown - excellent tour!
The computer room next to the Scullery was one of my favorite places. It was one of the few places aboard ship that was air conditioned. A nice place to cool off. Being in DASH Division part of A/S Division I knew every part of the ship. When on mess cook duty I became "Jack of the Dust". That title and job was given to me because a second class petty officer in supply division was discharged. The job was the best job aboard ship and privy to all the store rooms with keys where food as stored. Worked only half a day as I gathered all the food items needed by the cooks for meals from a list for mess cooks to pick up outside the hatches. Got all the ice cream I needed on the reefer decks just below the front ships crew berthing area. Hated when my duty was over as I had to go back to DASH Division aboard the U.S.S. Ault.
Thanx for this awesome video love how you stuck to the basics leaves the details for further investigation for those who make it there at some point great quality definetly a place id like to checkout
It was well worth the visit.
I very much like all your verbal descriptions on this video and all the other videos that you do. I would have liked to do what you do. I am attempting to find as many of your trips and attractions that you have done.
Love the Asbestos covered pipes in the engine room. Reminds me of school I went to in Stratford NJ.
I thoroughly enjoy your tours of the aircraft and ship museums I've watched so far. I enjoy taking these tours as well when i can. If you haven't yet, try the USS North Carolina tour. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you for posting.
Wonderful documentary, brings back thousands of memories tr this old sailor. BUT the damn wind noise (another memory) is a pain in the ass now just as it was in real life then.
Danke fürs Hochladen. Und Grüße aus Deutschland.
A lot of what you're seeing is just what's open to the public you may be able to tour a third of that ship the rest of its off limits like most of the battleship museums the North Carolina has seven decks and you only see three of them maybe four at the most but lots of it still the way it was when it was retired from the Navy they just don't show it all because getting it all in shape to tour would be very expensive to keep and maintain as well thank you for this video I enjoy these tour videos
i’m going at the end of this month. super psyched to go!
that was a GINORMOUS flag lol. i have a 5x9.5 flag on my wall. when i moved into this condo im in, some younger guy threw this flag away. i got it back out and on the wall it went
When I was a kid, my cub scout troop spent the weekend on the Yorktown. It was a blast! That was back in the 80's though. I don't know if they still allow it.
The last time I was there was 1996. They sure did change a lot of things. Some of the changes I don’t care for.
Like what?
Thanks! A nice Great Video at CORONA-Time! Greetings from Stuttgart in Germany!
Great video during a lockdown
They also had a coast guard vessel and a decommissioned nuclear submarine where did the destroyer when I was there in the early nineties with the Boy Scouts we spent the night on the Yorktown and then went out to fort Sumter the next morning truly truly an awesome experience
1:56:08... The helicopter is a Gyrodyne QH50-C Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter better know as DASH. It's primary function was to seek out and destroy enemy submarines by dropping Mark 44 Torpedoes mounted on it's undercarriage. The drone was lifted off and flown clear of the ship by the deck controller then control was transferred to the CIC controller then flown using sonar and radar to the specified target where the torpedoes were released. It was then flown back to the ship, control handed back over to the deck controller who brought it in and landed back on the flight deck. It was also capable of dropping a nuclear device. I worked on these aboard the USS Robert H. McCard DD822 from July '65 to Sept. 67 when the McCard was home ported at the Charleston Naval Base. Our ships annual reunion was held there in 2016. It was good to go back but so much had changed it was hard to relate to the memories. Also, I just wanted to mention that both our deck and CIC controllers passed away in July of this year. Fair winds and following seas, Shipmates.
At 1:12, you were looking in on the ship's brig! lol Great video. thanks for posting.
Why is that funny?
youtuuba You didn’t comment on it so I wasn’t sure if you knew what it was. I was stationed on a carrier (USS Enterprise). The ship’s brig is something that visitors are never allowed to see.
@@olentangy74 i wonder , if the ship was at battle stations, were the ones in the can released to join in on the chaos?
Ive been here and just wantend to revisit. Also my mom is a dental assistant and was nerding out over the dentistry stuff.
Just a quick point of fact:...The QH-50 Helo on board the Laffey is an unmanned drone that was used by the ship for anti-submarine missions.
Drone Anti Submarine Helicopter (DASH) We had them on the Ellison DD 864 in the late 60's
The Swenson DD-729 had the Dash also. Got a video of it flying around.
Dogfights, a damn good show.
This is by far the best video, However i'm a train lover. The carrier is massive i've never seen one,up close i seen one from a flight landing at Miami Airport. Good job.
And of course, as big as the Yorktown is, it is a lot smaller than the carriers in use by the US Navy these days.
You could like old planes trains tanks submarines or boats wich is me, but if you do like airplanes you should go to the mighty eight museum in savannah Georgia. I learned a lot there just like at paitriots point. But after this stupid epidemic is over, I would like to visit paitriots point again. Thank you for your time and god bless you. 🙏
Thank you so much for your good work here. Just a suggestion we would appreciate your panning inside any area that you walk through as well as focusing in on a few items but the panning gives us more information as well thank you so much for listening
Nice video
Greetz from Holland
I wood like to go too the Naval Martine Museum that cool
Good video. Tour five would probably make sense if you weren't a landlubber. Headbanging was all part of the first week aboard ships. And there are that many officers in that mess area. Just figure everything on that Army base that was required, floating.
The USS Clagamore looks terrible as a National Historic Landmark. Patriots Point should be embarrassed since that has been there so long.
This was great thanks
Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it very much.
QH50-C and D-models drone helicopter was used for anti-submarine warfare as it carried two MK-46 torpedoes to drop over an enemy sub. It was my division DASH (Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter). The ship had two aboard.
I've been to Charleston SC but didn't have time to visit this place. Next time I'm down there I will have to go to this place
Thank you!
Every time I go through a retired Navy Ship; I thank GOD I Joined the USAF Instead...lol
I was stationed on CVA61 during Vietnam, as an engineering officer. A very much different carrier than the old Yorktown. I was hoping to see the main machinery spaces on the YT. Ranger had 4 steam cats, I don't think YT had any, all deck launch. If the YT would have had cats there would have been slots in the deck to connect the planes to the tubes under the deck. I think the cables you saw were for the arresting gear. The officers mess/wardroom shown would have had different chairs, no table cloths and metal edges around the tops so wet blankets could be laid to prevent your dishes from sliding all over the place. Ranger had 3 ward rooms. Pilots on the 03 level, senior officers on one side of the galley and other officers on the other side, on the 2nd deck. There was a shared meeting area with seating for relaxing and swapping lies. The crew mess had two serving lines that were operated 23 hours a day. About 5000 men went through those lies for every meal.
I suspect the diesel generator you noted was not one of the primary backup generators. Ranger had three V16's that were air start. Eight boilers, 4 turbine main engines @ 70,000 shaft HP each. An interesting experience but months at sea got to be old, very tiring.
The issue of whether the Yorktown had catapults for launching aircraft is one still not settled to my satisfaction. Of course, I have not done extensive research on this subject, but A) I did not see slots in the forward deck, but then somebody else said they were covered up because they were a safety hazard, B) I got the impression of that cables I saw were too forward to be arresting cables, but maybe I was disoriented, C) I read in at least one place that while the Yorktown did not originally have catapults, she was retrofitted with them later, and in fact launched jet aircraft later on that would have required them, but I don't know if that information is reliable.
@@youtuuba I think the Yorktown's last classification was as CVS-10 which meant it was primarily antisubmarine warfare. It was mainly deploying helicopters and specialized turboprop planes for that role but also SAR vehicles.
If it has the angled deck, it meant they WERE landing jets on that ship
There are Vietnam-era photos of the Yorktown (1967) showing a Grumman S-2 on the deck. That photo AND a behind the ship, aerial view definitely show catapults. There were two new catapults installed during reconstruction in the 1950s but they were hydraulic and weight-limited. Without steam catapults, I doubt you could catapult any jet much heavier than an A-4. Lexington (the training carrier), btw, DID have C-11 steam catapults so it could handle up to at least F-8 Crusader class aircraft.
TODAY? They probably did remove the catapults (and any other useful parts) to support the other Essex-class ships that stayed in service until the mid-1970s. They also probably DID cover over the catapults tracks on the Yorktown to keep knuckleheads from breaking their necks (not to mention the kids of those dummies, too)!
...
...
The Essex ships that didn't have angled decks (they weren't all converted to angled decks) were primarily "helicarriers" but some of the angled deck ships like the Yorktown were rotated as needed into those roles. It also depended on how they were equipped. Heck, hydraulic catapults meant you weren't going to be slinging F-4s off your flight deck!
When the Lexington was retired my understanding is that ship didn't have a completely metal deck. It still had wooden planking!
One of the problems with the Essex-class was that they were not intended to deploy with jets. The biggest advantage of the Midway class and why were served close to 20 years longer than the Essex-class was that they were overbuilt and provided with armored decks that could take the punishment of heavier planes (F-4 Phantom class and heavier) far easier. A huge constraint on the Essex class ships is the burden they could bear with landings.
They originally wanted to use the F-4 Phantom on Essex-class carriers but a quick calculation of the kinetic energy of landing of an F-4 raised doubts whether the Essex class could repeatedly bear the punishment of a plane that heavy that landed over 130 knots (?). They were looking at reinforcing the decks of old ships they planned to have mostly out of service by the early 1970s. The question then is do you use construction money to reinforce vessels that are technically obsolete and ALREADY have issues with deploying jets, or do you put that money into building more-modern designs that satisfy requirements better?
[Yes, the British managed to land F-4s on a ship that was generally Essex-class size BUT to do that required a lot of modifications to their F-4s which screwed up the high-end performance of the F-4 and required installing a flight deck cooling system for the single F-4 Phantom carrier. The cooling system had to cope with a higher-thrust, hotter-running Rolls Royce Spey turbofan the British installed in their Phantoms. This required a massively redesigned, wider aft fuselage in the British F-4K to install those bigger engines. They also had to angle the F-4's nose higher to raise the wing to lower take-off speed which also meant the engine exhaust vented directly ONTO The deck plating and warped it unless it was cooled down during RN Phantom operations. They warped deck plating on the USS Saratoga (which had no deck cooling systems; its jet blast deflectors were USELESS for operations with the F-4Ks which blasted heat exhaust directly onto the deck!) with British F-4K's during an exchange tour of an RN Phantom squadron with the US Navy. They never did deploy with British F-4s in the Royal Navy beyond the single carrier after massive defense cuts in the 1960s even though original intentions were to equip 2 UK carriers with F-4 squadrons. Conventional carrier operations of the Royal Navy ended in 1978 when that single Phantom carrier was retired. They operated the F-4 in Royal Navy service for less than 10 years and lost 10 of 28 Royal Navy Phantoms bought.]
...
...
They never used a fighter jet bigger than the F-8 Crusader on the Essex class ships. The last carriers that deployed with Crusaders were Essex class ships because the Crusader was virtually gone from active duty Navy (front line deployment) by the early 1970s. The big fleet carriers were all deployed with F-4s after they phased out their Crusaders in the late 1960s. The Essex class carriers that didn't deploy with F-8s used A-4s to serve as their air defense fighters.
@@youtuuba -- I will assure you the yt had two steam catapults -- in 1956 my station during launch was at the starboard cat ---
As previously stated the mission of the yt changed from cva to other designations which obviously made many modifications --
the flight deck was originally wood, now appears to have covered with steel plates -- the 5" turrets are gone, the 40mm gun tubs and 20mm mounts are all gone -- the three elevators appear to be gone as well - aft one was center deck just aft of the island, forward was center deck just forward of the island and the third in the newly added canted deck --
there was no escalator -- I did not really recognize much below decks -- mess deck / gally looked very small. perhaps taken up with exhibits --- the gedunk parlor was still there but a lot more options -- only candy and ice craem then -- Hard to say if the shops were in the same locations, i expect not ----
Your presentation was very good -- I have been asking my daughter to take over for a tour but now I see it would really just be a disappointment to me == gb Aviation machinist mate 2nd class - cag19 vf191 -- FJ 3 aircraft
I’ve always gone to battleship NC in Wilmington. Going here next
Been there half a dozen times with my brother love walking through the carrier and seeing all the planes. Although dollar for dollar Warner Robins is the better museum with a broader selection of aircraft.
I live just a few miles from Patriots Point. I took my son there for his first museum visit. One of my favorite places to go.
Sad to see so much rust on all 3 vessels, a lick of paint, some working bee's, lets be fair, the men and woman who served deserve to be remembered
Michael Sandona, they deserve to be remembered, but keep in mind that vessels such as this would have gone to the scrapyard long ago, except for private organizations that stepped forward to preserve them. I have seen some estimates for what it would really cost to do the 'lick of paint and working bees' thing, and it was a scary large amount of dollars, and that was just for the carrier. The sub, I have heard, is beyond salvation and is due to be sunk somewhere to make an artificial reef.
youtuuba It has always been in my head sence I was there in 2016
@@youtuuba They were saying the carrier at Patriot Point itself was in bad shape but an engineer did a thorough inspection and said the condition of the Yorktown was much better than they feared. The hull was less than 10% worn down; the two things that ultimately decommission ships (if technology and torpedoes don't!) are hull condition and powerplant wear. As I understand it, the worst-condition museum ship (when retired) was the USS Intrepid. It was run hard and needed a lot of work. It's gotten a lot of TLC over the years (with a major renovation not even 10 years ago) but I have a feeling it's gotten a lot of money "donated" by the local governments and high rollers in NYC. There aren't enough people visiting that ship in NYC to keep that foundation afloat; they're getting help.
But, yeah, I think eventually another museum carrier (likely the Hornet) may end up an artificial reef like the Oriskany which is PREFERRABLE if they can do it economically AND remove the most toxic material that will be cast off as the ship disintegrates underwater.
Speaking of museum ships and leaks, not that many years ago they had some problems with the USS Missouri (a compartment was flooding from a leak) but someone came to the rescue and they did the repairs.
I guess a lot of this depends on the luck and "historicity" of a ship.
Well, if that bit about historical importance meant crap to the people who decide what gets saved and what doesn't, then the first carrier named Enterprise (CV-6) should have been preserved as a museum ship but it was retired too soon in the process (1947) and just didn't last long enough (it was scrapped between 1958 and 1960 just as its namesake was being built).
There was even more shame with other Essex-class ships which survived into the late 1960s and early 1970s, well after the museum ship movement began. Those ships were often still in axial deck configuration and didn't have the angled deck modifications; ie, they were World War II authentic! The Franklin and Bunker Hill were among the ships that could have been turned into museum vessels but it just wasn't to be. Virtually NONE of the ships today and certainly NONE of the museum carriers are unmodified pre-1950s configuration ships.
@@youtuuba "On January 10, 2017 the Palm Beach County Commissioners voted unanimously to approve funds for the vessel to be sunk as an artificial reef. On 16 April 2019 a group of retired submariners sued the State of South Carolina to save the Clamagore. In early 2020, the museum formed a plan to sink Clamagore at the Vermilion Reef site before the 2021 hurricane season."
Granted I took it off Wikipedia, but even so, what a criminal waste.
@@davidknowles2491 , nonsense......it is not "criminal" unless a law(s) was broken. Disappointing and sad, yes, criminal no.
It helps if you take the time to look at the frame identifiers as well as the hatch identifiers. Since they send you up and down it helps you know where you are. The last I heard Yorktown was settled in mud. Since the mud line is higher than where she’s currently at you’re probably seeing her at low tide. I didn’t see whether her anchors are set in the mud or whether they have moorings fore and aft underwater.
My dad was in v5 flight group on first voyage of cv10. Spent 43 44 in the Pacific
SBD Dauntless. The plastic food is representative of what food you can get there and you can anything from ship's store including plastic models of the aircraft aboard ship
When I was stationed in Charleston in the late '60s the USS Savannah nuclear powered civilian ship was there. I wonder where it is now.
Deactivated in 1971 and currently in Baltimore harbor. My dad worked for Atomics International (part of what was then North American Aviation) and at that time the NS Savanna (note the designation) was quite new (launched in '59) and he was very pleased to tell anyone about it.
I think the Savannah was used to film part of the Manhattan Project movie.
Sorry I was thinking of the wrong movie. It was the Philadelphia Experiment that was filmed there
I was living in Savannah when the NS made its maiden voyage and docked at the port of Savannah . I saw the ship cruise of the Savannah river from Fort Pulaski. It was a holiday and a big deal for the city of Savannah.
I visited the museum ships in Buffalo NY, Mobile AL, and NYC. I think Charleston is my next stop.
I enjoyed watching your video tours of the USS Yorktown the submarine and the laffey. Now if you haven't been to the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile Alabama I suggest you try that you might like that one also I was just there in December 2020 and I had a great time touring the USS drum and the USS Alabama battleship I am on my tablet so I can't share you any pictures of it because they're in my phone
I was stationed on USS Semmes DDG 18 in Charleston from Jan 1983-March 1984. Toured the museum ships on July 4th, 1983.
Ran into a hurricane, lost both fueling staions and our sonar transducer.
Served '64-'66. Sonar Tech. Took some heavy rolls coming back from Med in '65
Awesome

You passed on the "Yorktown Yummies"? LOL. Nice tour and thanks for sharing!
Last time I was a Patriots Point (mid 2000s) they had a Coast Guard cutter as well can't remember the name though. I do remember getting lost on the Laffey.
The Hunley was at the Martine Museum in New Port News Va.
The guns on the Laffy were called " dual purpose guns.

Where's the telephone switching room for onboard communications and the electrical power room? Tons of wires and cables everywhere, someone had to maintain all the electrical needs...and plumbing for that matter. How did they make areas watertight with all those cable ways and conduits running from one end of the ship to the other? Excellent tour, thank you.
Damn I toured that ship for about 5 hours and you found places that I didn't and when I went there they didn't have all those chairs set up in the begining of the video.

as an ex submariner it was very sad to see the extreme state of disrepair that such a national treasure has been allowed to happen..
literally breaks my heart
I know how you feel. I was stationed on the USS Canopus AS 34. As soon as they declared the "cold war" over she went to the breakers. I've forgotten, but as I recall she was somewhere between 15 and 20yrs old. What a waste. The best short tour I ever took was on the Missouri. I served with MIUW during Desert Storm---yeah I was 42 when I was called up. I got to see the oil fires and the highway of death. One day I was off watch and one of the Coast Guard raider boats came and asked if I wanted to go out see the Missouri. Back in the '70s I saw her and the NJ in moth balls in Bremerton, WA while we were in the yards. She stop in Bahrain on her way home. It was awesome to see her alive and well. EN1
@@Canopus68 Thank you for continuing the service to America where I left off. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼🙂
Wow.
I visited the Yorktown 13-14 years ago and also when I was a kid.
Thanks for the walk-through.
The mock-up of spacecraft’s are there because they are the capsules pick up in ocean by Yorktown
I believe the drone, I think they were called a Gyrodyne QH-50 DASH (Drone Anti Submarine Helicopter) were used to drop anti submarine torpedos or depth charges.
I live in SC about an hour and half away. Been there many times, but it's been a while. Some things have changed. The sub was still open the last time. Is the coast guard cutter gone? You better not have a problem with stairs if you want to tour Yorktown..lol
Amazingly Apollo 8 is at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, but it's not plainly labeled as Apollo 8. I had to read into the signage, and then I had to go look it up on the internets to confirm. Crazy.
ive got the a4c 56:00 as well as the corsair 56:57 as well as the corsair 2 57:01 in my sims. i do enjoy your videos my friend cause you dont pack it with the damned bumper music from the hood lol.
My father (RIP) served on the USS Clamagore sometime in the early 60s. He went on to serve on the Halibut, Barbel and Tiru as well. Sad to see her in such a sorry state. Perhaps "reefing" would be more dignified use for this old lady. Better than watching her deteriorate further.
A friend was stationed on the USS Barbel in 1944-45. His name was Rush Kline. Sadly he passed away in late 2017. His sister will be turning 100 this year.
Was very interesting' although the fast pans made me nauseous. Like others if you can, see the Valley Camp. Had a nice display about the Edmund Fitzgerald. Saw the Arthur M. Anderson in Green Bay WI a few days ago. Impressive. Its hard to believe its been 46 years since the Fitz sank. Hope the newspeople don't jinx the Lake freighters with their bragging about its been 46 years since a large boat sank in the Great Lakes. I hope the storms that are being forecasted for Minnesota, upper great lakes aren't as bad as the one in 1975.
Diane Mauer, I appreciate your various comments, although it does seem that you have a case of "Fitz on the brain"! I for one am not too interested in the Edmund Fitzgerald, and if it had not sunk and had a popular song written about it, only Great Lakes freighter aficionados would care about that ship anymore.
I appreciate your videos and comments

OOOHHH the naval hymn. err eternal father
Two of the five Essex class carriers aren't free-floating. The other one sunk in the mud is the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The USS Lexington, a most notable ship, is sunk in the mud? Is she rusting away?
Hey youtuuba have you visited the lexington or the hornet? those are also essex class aircraft carriers
Me and my ex wife went there 13 years ago approximately. we went though the submarine clagamore and it tilted to the side scare the crap out of us. I think they sank it as a reef cause they couldn't do the upkeep on the sub
