I love it, BB-62 is my favorite American battleship
Fantastic! My grandfather was on Big J in WW2
video made 8 nearly 9 years ago, comment made 1 year ago, what the hell happened here?
I served on USS New Jersey BB-62 from 1989-1990...awesome experience. BadASS
Wow
This is the way.
My Great-Uncle served on BB-62 from 1944-1951 and was promoted to Full Lieutenant during his time on the ship. He missed her so much when he was transferred to the the Intrepid later on. He hated her but loved the New Jersey like it was his own child.
@@samgray49 How did he react knowing she was in Korea and Nam?
@@felixgutierrez993 he was elated. I did get to see her out at Korea and did visit her when she was docked for maintenance.
64 years ago, I was 16 years old high school student, New Jersey battleship visited Keelung
harbor Taiwan, I played hokey that day and took a tour for it ( only opening one day ). I like
the tick-wood deck and cooking coffee and meat onion smell ( 20 minuets tour only at deck ). It is still vivid in my mind !
Cool!
Thats so cool!
Haha very cool! I walked on the same teak-deck just a few days ago! (September 2022)
My grandfather Thomas Langston served on the USS New Jersey during the Vietnam War, he just passed two days ago, may he rest in piece, a true hero.
I'm sorry for your loss.
RIP.
My grandfather served aboard her as the Quartermaster and Navigator in WWII.
He passed last year.
These great men ran that ship like a top.
I've been blessed to have had a few full top to bottom tours of this monster.
It truly is an awe inspiring ship with how many souls it carried and saved throughout its career.
I'm American, so I don't want to sound bias... but Iowa class battleships are just beautiful.
I 100% agree with you. Such a beautiful ship.
What bias is there with that truth!!??
No bias. Just fact. The Iowa's were just pure beauty
true m8
Excellent bow lines.
"Sir Enemy sip sighted"
"Sir it's an Iowa Class!"
"Sir it's The New Jersey"
"Sir why are we abandoning ship"
"It because it blow up an island we don't want to be like that island "
Im watching this while NJ moves to dry dock. March 21, 2024
Azur lane: *releases USS NJ in a couple days*
Me: I will make this my best battleship
Keep that ring prepared, Shikikan.
I've never played this game but damn these documentaries are top notch. Deserve way more views than this.
ThickFreedom thiccc
Yes ikr! You should give the game a try, it's pretty fun
Better than History channel.lol
Most of all, NO ALIENS CONSPIRACY
ThickFreedom the game is amazing
"The indomitable black dragon isnt some hotel that sits on the sideline while her friends are in trouble"
Yamato: :| >:[
Sorry Yamato but it’s gonna take more than Damage Control Party to extinguish the fire from that roast. Also New Jersey be getting the Arsonist and Witherer award for that.
Yamato was basically forced to stay in port because, depending on who's telling you, she was either too expensive to run, or the Japanese were obsessed with the idea of a final decisive battle, and were reserving Yamato and Musashi for that battle. Musashi never used her main guns, and Yamato only used her main guns one to sink an escort carrier and a destroyer
Yamato would laugh so much at this pointless quote Lol xD
@@yoseipilot Explain why she would laugh at this "pointless" quote?
Coming this Thursday to azur lane. Good luck to everyone building for her.
Can't wait to unleash them mark 7s on the other ships
Lmao I swear this was the exact reason why TH-cam recommended this to me
Say bye to your cubes fellas
Was the Mark 7 guns available in Updated Gear Lab?
Heard we have a special UR 406mm to build
60 years ago I was 16 and New Jersey visited Keelung Taiwan, I skip the class and took a tour
at ship. The most impress me is the smell of coffee or the onion meat for supper time. Next
day I brag to my classmates how much they have missed. Glad to see NJ again!
Such a beautiful ship, I was just on her visiting. As a Navy veteran, I was duly impressed. I was a submarine hunter working on SOSUS and we gave the Russians hell, but never served in a ship, though I visited many and stayed in board both the IKE and a the USS Glover for a few days each, but we knew we were protecting the fleet and our homeland. The Navy was and remains for me the greatest thing I ever did.
I’ve been on the New Jersey
She’s literally the best battleship I’ve ever walked and learned on
Same ….shes a fighter and a testament to the navy
It’s quite literally the best human made fast battleship in history, so it’s not a big surprise. The Yamato? Nah. It lacked speed, stability, Anti-Air guns, Radars, Advanced fire control systems, and it had severe flaws with its 155mm turrets, which was penetrateable with even 150mm guns or a single air to land bomb dropped from a Corsair. Also SHS rounds fired from New Jersey could penetrate the Yamato’s deck from over 32 kilometers away.
I was on the re-commissioning crew of the Big J in 1982. I reported onboard 5/82 until 5/84, including NGFS in Beirut. This was an awesome ship to serve on. The firepower we had was incredible.
I've toured the USS New Jersey and it is awe inspiring. FUN FACT: As part of the caretaking agreement between the Battleship New Jersey Museum and the United States Navy, the museum must not tamper with the preservatives the US Navy put into the engines. In times of national emergency, the US Navy reserves the right to reclaim the ship and put her back into action. I highly recommend touring an Iowa Class battleship.
No they can't put them back in action at all, no crews, no ammo, no shells, no gunpowder bags, no gun barrel to replace, oil would be too much too, u can very well check this from USS Winsconsis Wikipedia page. It's literally written there, the Navy no longer interested to bring them back into action no need of them all.
Congress had ordered that the following measures be implemented to ensure that Wisconsin could be returned to active duty if needed:
She must not be altered in any way that would impair her military utility.
The battleship must be preserved in her present condition through the continued use of cathodic protection, dehumidification systems, and any other preservation methods as needed.
Spare parts and unique equipment, such as the 16 in (406 mm) gun barrels and projectiles, must be preserved in adequate numbers to support Wisconsin, if reactivated.
The Navy must prepare plans for the rapid reactivation of Wisconsin should she be returned to the Navy in the event of a national emergency.[43]
These conditions closely mirrored the original three conditions that the Nation Defense Authorization Act of 1996 laid out for the maintenance of Wisconsin while she was in the mothball fleet.[40]
On 14 December 2009, the US Navy officially transferred Wisconsin to the city of Norfolk, ending the requirement for the ship to be preserved for possible recall to active duty. The US Navy had paid the city of Norfolk $2.8 million between 2000 and 2009 to maintain the ship.[44] A formal ceremony transferring the ship to the city of Norfolk took place on 16 April 2010.[45][46] Wisconsin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 28 March 2012.
Visitors have included the crew of the Royal Navy's HMS Prince of Wales, who also volunteered to help clean and repaint Wisconsin while stationed in Norfolk during the WESTLANT 23 naval aviation trials in 2023.[47]
Just got recommended this by TH-cam. It's almost like TH-cam knows Azur Lane just added USS New Jersey to the game and that they are related/partnered with World of Warships.
didn't expect to see you here but yea I got recommended too
@@asdfiuy Hi!
SHE'S COMIN AS WAIFU BOAT! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Cheers USS Fans. A Major Shift in Power begins at the upcoming thursday!!
UR New Jersey, Helena META, SSR Ticonderoga, 1st SSR of New Orleans-class San Francisco, The Sub who Smoked Shinanope and Stole one of her Swords: SSR Archerfish.
@@belfastbelchan4039 Cheers Mate!
Imagine if she turns out to be a faction buffer like Richelieu and Nagato, the new fleet comps would be interesting.
@@wawapiko she's confirmed to have some fleet buff but I think they should save it for either Iowa or Midway
Sometimes I wonder if it’s ok to turn a ship which honorably served my country throughout not only WWII but also the Cold War into a lewd Bunny girl stripper.
Honestly, I don’t like her skin as I feel she’s dancing with the pole for other men and I’m gonna get NTR’d.
Fellow shikikans/commanders
The day has come
I wish you well on your rolls
God speed
Got her on the final day lets gooooo
Lucky
-The USS NJ is the most-decorated battleship in US history.
-Fought WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon
-Along with others in her class was the fastest battleship in history
-The Iowas were improved versions of the North Carolinas, with higher speed, somewhat more advanced 16" guns, and better torpedo protection.
-In fact when NJ was reactivated in the 1908s they had to scrounge parts from the NC to service her
-The 16"/50 Mk VII fired a slightly lighter shell than the Japanese 18", but the shell could travel roughly the same distance and actually the muzzle velocity of the 16" was significantly higher, resulting in equal or better penetrating power than the 18" shells from the Yamato.
-"The Big J" was Halsey's flagship for a period of time during WWII
-When the Japanese accepted surrender terms, many assumed the NJ would get the honor of hosting (having already earned 9 battle stars) but it occurred onboard the Missouri because that was Truman's home state.
They were improved South Dakota class, not North Carolina class.
you spelled 1980's wrong
@@apex_blue lol a typo?
@@Griffen427 yeah guessed as much but still
Really have to admire these battleships, beautiful lines and super fast for something that weighs 57,500 tons.
I know most American LIGHT cruisers can't even go that fast but right under it
People may make fun of my mother state (NEW JERSEY) but she was THE ship that kicked ass in the war, AND SURVIVED! All Hail The New Jersey Warship) she turned the tide of the war!
Yes
I was already aware of WOW and Navel Legends and when AL released New Jersey, I absolutely had to come here to learn more about her!
During my active duty years I spent 4 years on the USS Enterprise, as well as years on Fort Snelling, USS California and USS David Ray. But I served along side a sailor I envy to this day, He was a gunner on the USS New Jersey, 16 inch gun crew. H retired in 1986, the same day and ceremony of my own retirement but several years later he suffered a massive stroke and is no longer with us. I salute you sir, fair winds and following seas old friend.
my grandfather served aboard the USS New Jersey. It was his favorite ship, mostly because we are from New Jersey, and that he didnt like pushing planes on the USS Wasp(CV-18) lol
+Lem0nsquid Oh that is cool! Do you know what his rating (job) was? I was a gunnersmate when I was in and everyone in the gunner community wanted to serve aboard her but when I was in during the early 90s you had to have a perfect service record as they were flagships of the fleet by that point. There was a four year waiting list too. Unfortunately by the time I was in gun school, word had been passed down that they would not be returning to active service. They were beautiful ladies.
my grandfather was one of the original crew, he watched them place his turret into the Barbette's in the shipyard, he was the turret commander of turret 2
Wait he was a plank owner! That's incredible =^^= My Dad was a plank owner on some of the ships he served on too. Thanks for sharing that. That's very cool.
+Lem0nsquid My grandfather served on that ship as well during the Korean War. He ran the ships newspaper and during battle manned the AA guns.
I was on the Recom crew in 1982. served till May 84. Great ship to serve on!!
Others: Magnificent Battleship
AL player: Meta waifu & dancing bunny
I've been aboard the New Jersey at least 10 times (I live fairly locally) and it is an amazing ship, and I think it could still kick some serious ass today
She cannot 1 anti ship ballistic missile and the game is over.
Krusher Phalanx Anti-missile, chaff dispensers, and radar scramblers were all fitted in the 90’s. With a bit more modernization and all the old armor I fail to see why it wouldn’t be just as survivable as any existing US ship
@@robertboden8406 a battleship will be able to tank more damage than virtually anything else built today. With modern defense/weapon systems it would be pretty well unparalleled.
If we exclude guided missile systems this ship is boss
Hell-to-the-fuck-YEA!
Al releases another Iowa:
Shikikans: lets watch naval legends
Actually, USS New Jersey was the most decorated Battleship, but not the most decorated ship. That honor belongs to the USS Parche. However, since this series focuses on 20th century ships, the most highly decorated ship of the US Navy of that time is the USS Enterprise CV-6(which they should really do an episode on btw)
+Cjfedler 327 On technicality, WG.NET are correct. NJ is the most decorated *ship*, as Submarines are considered boats. Never call a submariner's vessel a ship to their face. ;)
USS Enterprise has 20 battle stars, as opposed to New Jersey's 19. so even still, they were wrong. it's the most decorated Battleship, but the CV-6 is higher decorated still
+ Cjfedler 327 Decorations don't refer to battle stars. Ships are given service awards just like personnel are, and New Jersey's service jacket extends across WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf. CV-6 was scrapped by 1960. Compare Enterprise's commendations (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CV-6)#Awards_and_commendations) with New Jersey's. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_New_Jersey_(BB-62)#Awards)
New Jersey may have less WW2 battle stars, but she is more highly decorated.
Alright, i stand corrected. I still think that they should do an episode on the Enterprise
+Cjfedler 327 I agree. I also think it absurd the Yorktowns aren't in WoWs! Enterprise alone makes the class probably the most famous of the war!
"Put another round in- pointy end first.". That, my friends, is about the simplest and best description of loading the main guns as you can get. I like that guy!
"point end up, flamely end down"
-Tim Dod the everyday astronaut
they need to redfo this with ryan making an appearance
I just visited USS New Jersey. What a gorgeous ship :)
I served onboard the USS Fletcher DD 992, in the 80s, when they brought the Jersey out of mothballs. We got to sail with her on her shakedown cruise, upon recommissioning. She was an awesome sight.
Been on BB-62 as a museum. That ship is a monster
Pull trigger
*New jersey accidentally hits aliens ships*
Correct me if im wrong, isnt it the missouri?
GD ARKYPLIER It is Missouri
Dude that was the Mighty Mo who should be classified as a Naval Legend
Not the jersey it is Missouri
Uhm sir ITS THE MISSOURI
Erwin Sladewski, plank owner and my grandfather. Radar man responsible for the first Japanese plane taken down in WWII by the New Jersey. Miss and love you grandpa, thank you for all you did to protect us. 🇺🇲
I find it funny that the naval historian in his video says that the 16"/50 Mk VII is just as powerful as the Japanese 18.1" gun, and yet in game there is a massive disparage in performance between the two guns. Oh Wargaming, you never cease to amuse me.
+roryforham I'm sorry, *WHAT*?
+Fighterpilot555 Well, I think they meant the same penetrating power. If you've ever played War Thunder, you'll know that just cause two guns have identical penetration doesn't mean they're equal. The round on Yamato is bigger, so when it penned it would do more damage theoretically. Still doesn't explain why Yamato's guns are so accuarte compared to Monty though. Monty and Iowa should be at the very least MORE accurate than Yamato. Have Yamato hit hard yes, but that accuracy has to go down a bit ad Monty's armor needs a tiny buff and the Monty's guns needs an accuracy buff
+Ana Sebi The Super Pershing does have it's penetration modeled a little more correctly in game. It just lies within the APCR shell.
+Nguyen Johnathan _Am Half-Japanese here_
So you mean not Japanese at all :P
Nguyen Johnathan First off, Admiral who? I'm trying to look for a source to your quote here but I can't find one. As I remember, Yamato never once had a Admiral named Miyaki on board; the only Admiral's to assume command of Yamato were Yamamoto and Kurita, and they both believed in the Yamato immensely like the rest of Japan, so if you could link me to this diary thing that would be great. And also, naval analysts have concluded that Yamato's guns, in terms of velocity, would have been slightly inferior to the US 16's, but also packed a heavier punch due to their extra weight and size. This is why the Mark 8 "Super-Heavy" shell was produced, to make the US 16's be on par with the Yamato's 18's in terms of stopping power (they already had the velocity advantage). I already agreed with you that Yamato needs some slight nerfs, but I think a buff to Montana would be more prudent
And also, I am half Japanese as well (half German half Japanese), but how does that factor into this? Are you insinuating that because of your family's background, that makes your opinion more "correct" because you're half Japanese? I'm not trying to attack you here, but leave your family's nationality out of any argument, and don't use it as such. Being half-Japanese doesn't make you know more about Japanese stuff by default
I live near the USS New Jersey Museum and its a really fun tour :)
僕は日本人です。
もちろん大日本帝国海軍の象徴である大和型戦艦は大好きです。しかしアイオワ級戦艦も少し細身の船体や高さが低めな406mm主砲、コンパクトにまとめられた艦橋周りが個人的に好きです！それから、これはアイオワ級だけではありませんが、アメリカ海軍艦艇の迷彩が大好きです。日本には瑞鳳、瑞鶴、信濃、妙高など少ししか迷彩をした艦艇がいないので少し羨ましく思います。
Glory to the Black Dragon
I have visited this ship multiple times, and it truly is a sight to behold
"The Black Dragon" itself, what I would not give hear and behold the sight of its guns roaring to life,
Unfortunately the city of Camden, NJ probably wouldn't be too happy about it.
My grandpa was the loader of this ship
If he's still around tell him I said thank you for your service
Seth Diabira If he’s still alive, tell him how you lied just to glorify him
Opeta Filipo Why me out of the 3?
And he is strongest and bravest person if i ever met him. Thank you for his service.
Something tells me there were about 200-250 loaders considering the number of guns on this ship.
I had the honor of being on both the USS NEW JERSEY and MISSOURI. I was on the Jersey while in Beruit for a USO show AND watched it shell Bekka Valley. And got a tour by a friend of mine who was part MARINE detachment on the Missouri when it was in Long Beach
Sweeeeeet!
I had the dishonor to serve on yet another naval vessel 1968-1971. I am ashamed of having taken part in the imperialistic designs of the American state. I am to this day forced to pay for them.
Now you just need t go to Iowa and Wisconsin. If you want to chanllenge yourself even more, try checking out Massachusetts, Alabama, Texas when it reopens, and Mikasa
The USS New Jersey Museum ship seen in the documentary is the 1980s refit, where many 40mm and 20mm guns are removed and replaced by 4 CIWS guns. The New Jersey in the 40s had so much more AA guns.
I'm always impressed with the production quality of Wargamings documentaries. It's always a great distraction watching these.
Wow it's been 74 years since this ship has been launched and it still amazes people to this day
It is indeed incredible what we (and they) have done to kill each other and destroy each other's works.
I am not sure if we are amazed or terrified.
"Basically it comes down to a very big version of the 7.62 rifle you have at home" - Wow it's just another world in Russia!
Adam hawkins What?
Just baffled by how normal it is having a rifle in your home, like it's the TV or Fridge. Hence it's another world!
Adam hawkins I assume you don't live in the US?
Good assumption, the US only makes up approximately 4.4% of the worlds total population. Facetiousness aside, privately owning a gun is just a foreign concept to me and many others, that's all.
Adam hawkins Ah, I see.
Thank you to the "Men" who fought before me and showed us how it's done.
To those who payed the price and never made it home
To those whom serve after me to protect our shores and homes.
We joined as boys and came home as men, some of us are aged now but pay that no mind
if asked to serve we'd do it again.
🇺🇸
Why did you put emphasis in “men”?
@@billrich9722 im not sure either, if i had to guess maybe some of those men were teenagers but who knows.
Uss New Jersey is a strong 💪 Battleship of US Navy that was a legend 🇺🇸
Is .. SHE IS A LEGEND.
This video aged very well...
I have been on her decks back when my Navy ROTC class had a field trip to see her......I was completely beside myself traveling thru her decks, the gun turret, everywhere. [With exception to the engine room.] Having been born in the ships name sake state, I am not just proud as someone from New Jersey, but also as an American. However, I was once told by our tour guide that, even though the ship is indeed a museum, she can be re-fitted and battle ready in less then half a year or so.
I'm so honored to live only 20 minutes from this beauty. Things like this ship make you proud to be an American.
Does anyone think it'd be legal to fire blank rounds out of the 16" cannons for sporting events/military events?
I think the man being interviewed is great! And all sailors from all nations know that being sunk at sea is as scary as it gets! Yet these brave men and women keep calm and carry on!
New Jersey. Great battleship. I went in the museum a couple of times. A interesting note is that this is the longest battleship and most decorated battleship. Really cool.
Wrong after battleship Wisconsin collided into USS Eaton the Wisconsin received a new bow section that added an additional 68 feet to the ship making Wisconsin a total of 995 feet while New Jersey is at 888 feet
Admiral Spruance had 6 Battleships prepared to go against the Yamato in case it made it past the the Helldivers, the Avengers, rocket & bomb carrying Corsairs and Hellcats. The battleships were the Massachusetts, Indiana, the South Dakota, the Missouri, the Wisconsin and the New Jersey. This also included 8 cruisers that included super cruisers Guam and Alaska.
The USN lost very few flyers. On one level it would be interesting to see Yamato try to fight those 6 battleships. However, more Americans would have died and better few dead than one final battleship vs battleships battle....
The USS New Jersey was Halsey's flagship and not with Spruance...especially since it was Sprague, not Spruance, who led the escort carriers covering the Leyte Gulf landings. The Iowa-class ships were not with Sprague. The battleships available to him were commanded by Oldendorf, and were older ships, some of them refloated from Pearl Harbor.
All of this for fight with just 1 battleship.
It's a cool ship. Only problem is you have to drive through the ghetto to visit it.
Going to Philadelphia and then crossing over by boat is your best bet if you don't want to get mugged or have your car stolen.
lol
In other words the entire state 😂
Camden is very ghetto but going there you could visit the ss United states and the cruiser Olympia there right next to it
CommunistRaccoonDog Camden has gotten a lot better in recent years
At 7:52, the footage shown is in black and white, and very grainy. You can clearly see the CIWS radar domes atop the superstructure, meaning the video is from 1984+ Very sneaky WG.
+Rob Bader Nice catch
+Rob Bader Hey it's still massive explosions and firepower. I'm not complaining XD Good catch though hehe
That was after it was modernized.
7:53?
This is the best naval legend clip so far. Love the explanation of the ship's execution and mechanism!
Very kind words of praise from Wargaming to the Officers, crew, and designers of the USS New Jersey. Thank you.
Big J is currently fundraising to get into drydock next year. Help her out if you can
9:33 i was playing WoWs while watching this video on my phone both at the same time and when the battle starts, this plays.
Guess what I heard ? "General Quarters".
Azur Lane introduces New Jearsey.
This video vievs : stonks
Grew up on BB63 - 6th Division. Youngest Helmsman at 17; Enlisted at 17, turned 18 between Sydney and Perth on the way back from the Persian Excursion 87/88. Also served as POIC in the Power Flats of Turret 2 for a period of time, among other things. Ship to Ship, it's the Crew who make the difference... 62 didn't put 215-5" and 48-16"/50's down range in 5 minutes... We did! Sink-ex 89. It was an impressive shoot off for the Battle E. We also took part in the largest gathering of Warships since WWII, that was unreal; some things you just have to experience. While now antiquated due to AI, drones, rail-guns, and stealth vessels. BB's are the only ships I know of to boast such a motto "Fear God Dreadnought". And when your steaming through a hurricane, you understand why.
Man..., they sure did have guns everywhere on these ships, didn't they!? My God, those 16" shells were absolutely massive!!!!
Holy shit, a Russian greatly complementing Also me thing American??? It's so refreshing to look past all the recent political horseshit going on and have both sides realize how respectable the other is. Giving credit where credits due regardless what politicians want us to think.
This dude's a Historian not a Politician
@Big Bill O'Reilly Sarcasm assuredly.
Everyone fought bravely with a warrior spirit for the land they grew up in. And thats respectable and admirable either side.
@一護 Kᴜʀᴏsᴀᴋɪ ok
@一護 Kᴜʀᴏsᴀᴋɪ Russians never say anything nice about the USA
The presenter was mistaken on the Gulf War, the Wisconsin was there also. When I was a Marine in the Gulf War, I was stationed on an amphibious transport ship, the Wisconsin fired a tomahawk missile that save the ship I was on from a scud missile. She also passed us on the way home from the Persian Gulf, she's a mighty big ship, as all four of them were, and are.
Only 2 battleships in the Gulf in 91 where USS Wisconsin and USS Missouri
Also known as USS Honey
My grandfather served on the new jersey during the war. He has some jaw dropping stories about it..... unbelievable what he went through.
Are we supposed to ignore the fact that the USS New Jersey actually sank an Island with it's powerful cannons?
Please do USS Laffey (DD-724)! One of the best Naval stories of WWII happened aboard her.
Had a chance to visit the New Jersey four years ago. I loved visiting this ship and the history of it. I would recommend taking a tour of it to everyone I know who goes to visit Philadelphia.
Fascinating! Love the commentary 🙌🏼
KOS-MOS/NEW-JERSEY WARSHIP IS HERE.
Loved this video! Great game and a great historical series! Keep it up :)
Great video, thanks for the history lesson
I live right by this ship and finally visited it yesterday! It’s amazing!
Another incredible documentary. Thanks!
I seen her fire and raise holy hell off the coast of vietnam before we went in . Semper -fi
These documentaries are incredibly interesting and of great quality ! It's fascinating to learn about the ships that made history in such an epic fashion ! Keep up the good work Wargaming !
This is "thee best" video about Battleships and how it works. It's worth the time to watch
went on a tour of nj few years ago. impressive is an understatement. guns are still in excellent shape
michael haddock I went on the ship as well and found out the guys in charge of restoration on the ship got some of the guns working again
Awesome video I love WWII Battleships,Planes,Tanks,Guns
I slept on the New Jersey and the Wisconsin for Boy Scout over nights, it was great! And I got to do a simulation of shooting the gun, a ret. crew member (tour guide) told me I was a volunteer now so then told me to press the far left trigger 3 times then the far right 1 time. On a tv right next to me it showed a video of the ship fire when I pulled the trigger it was really cool.
I am glad wargaming puts the effort into these wonderful documentaries, thanks!
Neat. Kinda makes it odd that the 16" 50 caliber guns (Iowa, Montana) in-game have so much less penetrating power than Yamato's 18.1" 50 caliber guns.
Balance is a thing, and all the Yamato fanboys cry whenever the fact that Iowa's guns are better than Yamato's guns is brought up
+The Zephyr the Yamato is over powered no doubt.
Don't get me wrong, I love Yamato. Its a beautiful ship that truly embodied Japanese might, but she was no match for the Iowa and class, and thats just fact. Iowa had it all. Basically the same guns, better, AA, better radar which equaled higher accuracy even while maneuvering, better speed, better range....Iowa can do everything Yamato can and better in some cases. Only in the armor category does Yamato win out, but even still the Mark 7 50 cal gun has been proven to be able to punch through armor of the same caliber of Yamato's belt. In my personal opinion, Iowa could be the tier 10 US BB, but we all know we wanted Montana in the game ;)
You have that exactly correct. In my opinion, the Montana isn't an upgrade in any way in the game except for the extra turret. Personally, i think the Iowa should be t10, and the Montana t9. Looking at it now it seems weird but when you think logically about it, the Iowa is a better match against the Yamato than the Montana is.
***** I tend to disagree in that regard. In game, the Yamato is currently much stronger than Montana because of the buff to its guns. This was needed, but it isn't historically accurate. In real life, in my opinion, Montana would still be a more competent opponent to Yamato. And extra three US 16's is a HUGE upgrade in artillery power in a battleship vs battleship engagement, and artillery is the bread and butter of battleships might in a fight against another surface vessel. Combine that with Montana's extra armor, and the same accuracy and radar control as Iowa, Montana would've been an absolute monster that would've torn the Yamato to shreds in a real life engagement
Very well done!, BB62 is definitely one of my favorite all time ships!!
I’m glad Wargaming goes through so much effort and money to make these mini documentaries. I know it is primarily to market their game but they really went above and beyond with it.
Thank you, Wargaming.
These are so well done. Thanks guys!!
USS Missouri
+Admrial_Dixon Missouri was in the Gulf War though
+Toastable Pie so was Wisconsin but a that's all Missouri did get a surrender signed and get screen time her sisters Wisconsin, Iowa and New Jersey did more important thing plus Wisconsin is 11in longer than her sisters making her the biggest battleship that's still alive
+Admrial_Dixon I know I love my hometown state battleship Wisconsin
+Samuel Harrison there is literally nothing special about it. The New Jersey should be more recognized, as it had more completed missions, battle stars, and was more successful in the end. All the Missouri did was hold the surrender from the Japanese, because the presidents daughter was from Missouri. The New Jersey also fought in the Gulf War, and was also the first ship to launch a tomahawk cruise missile
+Robert Boden you better get your story straight the 1st tomahawks fired were by the Cruiser USS San Jacintoon January 17, 1991. The Missourie follwed those up with launches of her own. The New Jersey never launched any missiles period.
Both the Missouri and the New Jersey served in the Gulf War
My mandolin has an armrest attached made from teak taken from the decks of BB-62, USS New Jersey.
As a fellow musician, I think your mandolin is my favorite ever now.
This is actually the coolest into on TH-cam
This is actually incredible, it it truly amazing how these main guns are loaded, I never knew that is how they’re loaded, it is so cool to me
When I served in the Navy during the Viet Nam war, it was quite a sight to catch a glimpse of the Mighty New Jersey. Made one envious that he didn't serve on it.
My Grandfather proudly served on that ship during the Korean War. RIP Petty Officer Thomas J. Sheridan, a hardworking and loving Father and Grandfather who proudly served his country in a time of war against communist aggression.
Helicopter Prince Was your uncle a crew of the Gambier Bay and HOnOrably died?
Dude same my grandfather was a gunner n that ship during the Korean War, I wonder if they met
Bring this ship to legends.
Also sponsor the battleship new jerseys youtube channel!
Thank you for the great documentary your kind words brought tears to my eyes
i get to see this amazing ship every day as i drive to work down I-95 and have been on it several times!! well done wargaming
i'm lucky enough to live very close to the new jersey, so i go there very often. awesome ship to visit if you're in the Philadelphia area.
All non Americans chanting how great the Yamato was. It's at the bottom. While the New Jersey served and retired being the most decorated ship in US history.
Yamato is basically just a big ass ship plague like the Bismarck. While Iowa classes has less armor in it but has the Fire rate twice or thrice the Yamato with speed to boast it's fighting capabilities. Imagine Natural Welterweight Fighting Feather Weight boxer. In paper is should be a cake walk for the WW against FW. But FW has Speed And Enough Snapping Power to contend with the WW with added bonus of twice faster at volume of punches. That's what Iowa classes are. There's a reason Nobody tried FaFo With till unlucky bastard in the Korean war
It is really fun seeing the ships in person. I saw the New Jersey and the Wisconsin.
