I went aboard the Nort Carolina while in Wilmington 1997, what a ship. She was being restored then as a museum, but, looked like she could still fight!

Rip USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma, USS Nevada, USS California, USS West Virginia, USS Cassin, USS Downes, USS Oglala and all of the crew members from Pearl Harbor 🙏🇺🇸
Just a note: The USS Maine was rated as an armored cruiser (despite being known to most citizens as the Battleship Maine), and had ACR-1 as her designation; but her near-sister the USS Texas was finished and rated as a second-class battleship, even though she was never officially given that designation. The USS Texas is considered by historians to have been the first U.S. battleship, and should probably be included in this list.
Nice video. U.S.S North Carolina, my favorite Battleship. The U.S.S Wisconsin is docked in Virginia and is a museum piece. I have been to see both Wisconsin and the North Carolina they are huge!
My grandfather served aboard the Pennsylvania during Pearl Harbor. I just wish they kept her around being as she was the sister ship to the Arizona. :/
You can't preserve every ship. They are extremely expensive to do so with. Look at the sad state of the U.S.S. Texas and how she's basically in need of full reconstruction. At least the U.S. kept some of them as museums unlike everyone else.

This would be more interesting and useful if you put date of commissioning, length, main armament, and date retired for each. Perhaps also include one or two noteworthy things such as first ship to have a feature, instruments of Japanese surrender signed on deck, refitted with cruise missiles, etc.
Ive seen the USS Alabama (BB-60) in person. My family and i were on a trip from Texas to Dlorida and we wnet through mobile Alabama. We didn't stop to look. I really wish we could've. It was awesome seeing it though. The ship was massive. They don't seem big in pictures.
USS Utah BB 31 sunk at Pearl Harbor. USS Wyoming BB32 and the USS Arkansas BB33 oldest American Battleships to serve in WW2. One of the guns from the Wyoming is on display at Fort Miles in Delaware.
It is interesting to note how few of these ships actually saw combat. It would be interesting to do a list of the worlds battleships that have seen combat compared to those who haven't
If you are referring to battleships fighting battleships, only South Dakota and Washington actually fought. (and won) But all of the battleships saw some action and palyed a part in WW2. The USS New York and Texas each saw duty in both WW1 and WW2. USS Wyoming was the oldest BB, and used as a gunnery training ship after the Utah was sunk at Pearl Harbor. The Utah, like Arizona, is still at Pearl Harbor, and there is a memorial there.
Some forgot about surgio strait where the last battleship battle was fought. I forgot which which ships the japanese as southern forxe but the US forces where all pearl harbour battleships minus the Arizona and the Oklahoma and the Mississippi was added to the battleline
In their era Battleships where the ICBMs. There if you needed them, but hopefully you did not. The fact they didn't see combat means they did their job. Just like all the ICBMs that have entered and left service that where never launched.
0:02)Left out the USS Texas (BB 0)(Zero). 4:14)USS North Dakota (BB 29) is a USS Delaware (BB 28) Class ship. The USS Penn. (BB 38) Class USS Arizona was the BB 39.
Why not mention BB-65 USS Illinois and BB-66 USS Kentucky? Iowa-class ships not completed during the war...by then, carriers had become the new backbone of the US Navy. Can you name the 5 members of the Montana class which were not built?
Jkdm 76 - The last Iowa class battleship was actually built but was not built into a battleship. It was built into the thickest armored hull Aircraft Carrier ever built. It became the U.S.S MIDWAY. Until the arrival of nuclear powered Aircraft Carrier, the Midway was one of the fastest conventional powered carriers ever built. It's narrow hull permitted it to be able to travel through the Panama Canal. She now resides as a museum in San Diego.
ghost magnet ...interesting idea but not so sure about that fifth Iowa. Wikipedia states that Midway benefited from Montana class technology. Wikipedia's page on the Iowa class states, "Four were completed, two more were laid down but canceled in August 1945, at war's end, and both hulls were scrapped in 1958. "
USS Midway was not the fastest conventional carriers, they were only 33 knots. The Shokaku class were the fastest at 35 knots. US carriers rarely top 33 knots. Japanese fleet carriers preferred higher speed at 34 or 35 knots whenever possible. Midway however carried the largest amount of planes at 120 planes, so much in fact a single carrier had trouble commanding and handling them all. US enjoy having more planes, generally US carriers had more planes than other nations.
Imagine if the US Navy did proceed with the commissioning of the Montana Class of BB? We could use such a Class of Warships of the Montana Class BB today especially with a belligerent China and resurgent Russia. God bless America and all her Saliors and Marines.
Does anyone really care and maybe how he pronounce a word or maybe that is how it's spelled like Nashua where I live it' was spelled Nashva. You know how is spell bias or prejudice and about asshole that you really are all 3?

They don’t. The only war you’ve really won in the last 70 years is Grenada. You’re losing the economic wars and the cyber wars, too. Must be pretty embarrassing that your powerful military can be defeated by poor brown people with Kalashnikovs.

The bow of the USS Wisconsin came from the unused USS Kentucy 'm Wisconsin collided with a destroyer in the fog in 1949. The Navy cut off her damaged.bow and replaced it with the Kentucy''s bow. The Kentucy was sold for scrap.
The picture of the Nevada (with an E) is in her World War II configuration after her overhaul post Pearl Harbor. Note the second mast is gone and the dual mount 5 inch guns along her broadsides.
To KreigsMeister27, The USS Maine original designation as a cruiser was purely political, even HMS Hood carried the label and the farce was carried out even after the Washington Naval Treaty in 1920. The definition of a Battleship was quite flexible and designating vessels as a cruiser was less provocative to the public even though it fooled no one.
Missed two which were classified as 2nd class battleships before BB numbering system USS Maine and USS Texas. Texas was later classified as an armored cruiser. Explosion aboard Maine started Spanish American war.
It looks like the evolution of the U.S. warships.Can you add the images & details of the cancelled Montana class battleships? (Just like BB 67 USS Montana,BB 71 USS Lousiana,... etc.)
Yes, but the last active ship was decommissioned in 1992, and the last two were removed from the reserve fleet in 2006. There are eight battleships that exist as memorials in various locations. (I've been on board the USS Massachusetts). We are likely to never commission them again because the cost of updating them to modern standards would exceed the cost of purchasing a new ship of similar capabilities which would be also be cheaper to operate.
I can't see the guns in the early ships. Also Nabraska spelled wrong but what the hell. What happened to the Texas? Was this the Maine blown up in Cuba? I will look it up.
One thing that always bothered me was that there was only one battleship named after Virginia, my home as well as the state which built a large portion of these ships. I guess I just have to settle with _Virginia_-class Ballistic Submarines
It's an attack submarine, not a ballistic missile submarine. Still a very nice class of vessel to have your State named after and there will be a lot of them.
KriegsMeister27 You might be happy to know that there was a nuclear cruiser named Virginia and after she retired, the best fast attack submarine in the world is the Viginia class
Ok it says the Montana was not commissioned, but it didn't say the Montana or a sister ship was not built, most likley hidden in the Navy's Area 51, fitted with laser weapons and rail guns.
Being as how it's where I live, USS Indiana (both the submarine and the battleship) and USS Indianapolis are my favorites; I might be a bit biased though. You should read up on the Indianapolis, it's very tragic.
A very well presented slide show with fine music! Okay, I'm nit-picking here but you spelled Nevada as Navada. Of course many people here will mention that the USS Kentucky was 70% complete when construction was stopped. Kentucky then sat in drydock for the next 10 yrs before being scrapped. Because it was launched but not officially commissioned, it's not on the navy list. It's bow section was removed to repair the USS Wisconsin. The 1st USS Maine and 1st USS Texas could have been first and second, , but this was only because Congress had authorized two "coastal" warships, and not battleships. None the less, they were the first big gun ships the navy built.
Very nice video. I enjoyed it very much as I enjoy United States Naval history. However, you should use spell check with your video editing. The USS Nebraska Nevada and Pennsylvania are all misspelled. No big deal just an observation. Thanks again.
Do you mean US named all battleships after all American states? Wow that's incredible. Beautiful. Sleeping giant awoken by Japanese when pearl harbor was attacked
My grandfather was boatswains mate on the USS South Carolina, during WW1, and the 1914 Battle of Vera Cruz.
That was awesome ! Thankyou I recently had the pressure boarding Uss Olympia and seeing Use New Jersey from her deck.

You can't preserve every ship. They are extremely expensive to do so with. Look at the sad state of the U.S.S. Texas and how she's basically in need of full reconstruction. At least the U.S. kept some of them as museums unlike everyone else.

I live in mobile, the ship is amazing to tour although it has a very disappointing service record compared to contemporary BB’s of its time.
I love the Tennessee class, beautiful ships.
They definitely were beautiful. .. and ready for war when it arrived.
I couldn't agree more!.... Until that hideous rebuild. They absolutely butchered those classy ladies
So as that pfp
I’m glad to Have that ship Named after My State
Tennessee, my father's first ship when he joined. Love that clipper bow.

South Dakota and Washington fought Kirishima-which was actually a battlecruiser. It was designed as such and still had thin armour.
In their era Battleships where the ICBMs. There if you needed them, but hopefully you did not. The fact they didn't see combat means they did their job. Just like all the ICBMs that have entered and left service that where never launched.
thanks for sharing, was going to try to look them all up myself but you saved me the trouble, great work
Thanks for using the pre-refit / as built photos for most of the ships.
Nice video! With some rare photos!
I know it would be crazy to do so, but I would love to see them build the Montana Class battleship. 55
I heard that we do not have the ability to produce the armor anymore.
Why don"t we keep some of these old ships and renew them as needed, we could never build another one.
Because they're really expensive / labor intensive. Even as a museum piece the cost is substantial as an example check out the USS Texas
