Yeah, as someone who has worked by heavy machinery his jumping on that thing made me pucker up. If there was less of a gap in that wood, that would have spun him until his leg was ripped right off.
@@thenoobplaysit6923 Yah as soon as he got on I was worried that the gap was too tight ... and I was right.
@@thenoobplaysit6923 Same here, people are very cautious around loud, fast spinning things like saw blades but tend to underestimate silent, slow moving, harmless looking things like that capstan. The problem is if something on heavy machinery is moving slow that usually means it can produce extremely high forces. A person getting mangled between that capstan and a stationary object next to it (or getting caught in the rope wound around it) would not even slow it down a bit.
I bet on an active ship storing anything that close to a capstan would be a big no-no as it creates a dangerous pinch point when the thing is rotating.
@@captiannemo1587 Same here, was thinking, „Did he really just put his body on a capstan with enough torque to move a 45000 ton ship?!“ Controls for that thing should really be hold to engage, not toggle. Because: self-evident.
The" Safety Sally's" have been Identified...... lighten up guys-! Ryan's fine, nobody's hurt...
Stop taking all the fun out of life with the woulda, coulda, and shoulda's.
You can use hydraulic or impermeable or watertight (it has many names) concrete for the stairs. Once it sets, it will never allow water to go through it. It's also going to retain color far better than other types of concrete even against Sol's bleaching actions. So you can throw paint in it and make it to spec.
edit: Source: i have stairs that are almost 47 years old made from watertight concrete in one of my father's houses that our firm still maintains and it's never had to have any kind of maintenance work despite going through winters and being exposed all year round. It really is that good. On key life expectancy is 50 to 70 years old.
Seconded. I used it for the slab in my cellar, it barely costs any different.
Wrong
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 someone's very upset this morning(!)
This is a really REALLY BAD idea for steel structures as the structure preceeding the mold will trap water in place exasterbatining frame rot. better to just find the leak and fix it..
I think they tried concrete on the Texas BB, didnt they? IIRC it fucked up the ship because water collected between concrete and steel, and caused rust.
There's an old Navy man on TH-cam named Mark Novak and he's quick to remind people that the piece of equipment doesn't know how old it is. If you push the button and tell it to work, it's either going to work or destroy itself trying.
No one cares bro
Those things were really built to last, everything in them is probably just ridiculously over engineered. As long as water doesn't get into them to rust the gears and bearings solid or corrode the electrics they'll probably work. And I assume they were designed to endure sea water washing over the deck so a few decades of rain has no chance of ruining them.
Wouldn’t you love to see Mark working on a 16” naval rifle putting Ryan one step closer to his secret goal of just steaming out of harbor
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Take it somewhere else bobby, this table is for the grownups.
@@999torino Calm down just a joke bro
That new deck looks gorgeous, glad to see the old ship is being kept in good condition!
Bet it's always nice to find functional pieces of machinery aboard the ship. Also loving the new deck looks great!
0:37 0:52 " . . Fortunately maintenance is at lunch today . . " So this is the first time these guys have had a lunch break since construction has started? . . . . .
Gotta keep em busy
loved the turntable moment LOL, but really loved the moment as you were under the turret and realised how big the guns must be to be able to fit a helicopter under them
3:13 I still love how close this video came to being an accident, but he was able to play it off and keep going.
First time I've seen the aft stack without the scaffolding! god she is beautiful! and the crisp red E to boot
Good job not crushing you legs! Love the channel. Very happy to see all the good work you are doing with this priceless ship.
A lot of the electrical equipment on these type of ships is very durable . I don't know if the Iowa class were A.C. or DC . but the equipment was built to survive almost anything the sea and action could throw at it . Also maintenance involved a lot of grease and paint as the ships had much bigger crews .
A crazy as it sounds, once you have the decks covered in new teak, toss buckets of sea water on the teak. Surprisingly, this actually preserves the teak.
@@agenericaccount3935 yes, they are using teak.
No it dosn't
"WATER" nearly an acre of wooden planking with a BUCKET???
Have you tried putting silicone sealant like pure silicone not the latex silicon caulking under the steel on top of the concrete you know you could make a form for it and once you bolt it down to the concrete, you stainless steel bolts. Also use stainless steel washers where needed. Silicon is very resilient temperature wise and can last a pretty long time in Florida where we have brutal heat. I would think that it would work just as well in Massachusetts. When I lived in Nashua I remember my dad having to caulk around the house all the time after winter to fix all the cracks. Caulking isn't what it's cracked up to be no pun intended. I use silicon and a lot of different ways. If I'm putting a concrete footer down and then adding a wood frame above it I set it down on a bed of silicon to protect the wood from water intrusion. I've never had an instance where my process has failed. The area I used to live in had a pretty high water table so during the rainy season it would be very easy for the ground to be saturated around that slab. But if you want look into clear or white silicon pure silicon. It doesn't take a tremendous amount but I would think a half inch setting up overnight and then bolting down to it would get it done.
‘That’d be funny if he rode it.. actually, nah, there’s a big crate right next to it and if he gets stuck between the two the capstan wouldn’t even notic… well it’s a good thing that the crate was light!’
If you want to retain the new sanded look of the teak and retain it's tractive properties look into treating it with total boat teak sealer. It gives the look of Danish oil and will prevent the teak from turning grey.
A video about all of the different size pumps on the ship would be cool
No it wouldn't
Yes, it would. I took many apart on her.
Coat the finished concrete with textured epoxy. Should help keep water out a little longer.
Im actually aspiring to be one day converting a war ship into a museum, finding this channel is a great way to have an insight in how to do that, im really thankful for discovering this channel
thats awesome
Thank you.
That's just awesome on that after capstan.
"We're keeping it, even though it makes the job harder." It's the principle of the thing.
Lovely looking wood on the deck there. Looks nicer than my dining room.
USS Alabama is looking great too with her new decking being put down. So happy to see the dedication put into these ships.
Watching from Toronto Ont. Canada. Love your vids and this was an amusing update. Thanks for all you do keeping that great ship soul alive.
Nice to see that it works on shore power
It would have been designed that way as when in port the lines may have been needed to be tightened while the ship was only on shore power.
Ryan, never change. 🤣
Sad to see you taking a sponsorship from one of these super-questionable “lordship” business. There are some great videos on TH-cam that shine a light on them.
Its so cool to see this getting done.
One day I hope I'll be able to visit, my health really just prevents me from traveling anywhere.
At least I can drive down and watch Texas sit there
More damage control lockers?
😄
Love your channel and information. But, contact Crane Indiana,nwsc, they re worked the 16 in shells andpowder., they also cast, poured most of the bombs used in veatnam.
Wow,the new deck looks awesome!🙀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When you say it hasn't run since you were born, and say the 1990s, I cringe, as I was born in 1957, and it has been in active service in my lifetime... And the electronics were once state of the art! Funny, as I once used to work on that type of electronics!
Any restoration to The Black Dragon is keeping her up for decades to come
The Japanese used to have a lot of rail system, specially for the floatplanes.
BTW, I would grab that mulch put it in flower pots and sale them as "%100 American Marine Soil / %100 freedom".
Maybe plant something on it in advance, like oak, or sunflowers... to sale.
If I was in NJ I'd volunteer but I'm in California. I was in the navy in the 90s. Love the battleships my favorite class with the old diesel American subs a close second.
I'll have to say, I love your sponsor - so fun! Laird Ryan!
If you have any larger teak planking left, then I know a lot of people that will buy it for yacht restoration, and spearguns. And they would adore the wood.
Its for sale at battleshipnewjersey.org/shop
We actually had that "yellow gear " in the steel mill here in Weirton. They finally just now have started replacing them. Very worn out to say the least. Our maintenance department used them for everything.
Your safety coordinator must've cringed to see you riding on that capstan
Oh god, if that wooden crate was any closer and any sturdier, you'd have been in big trouble. I know i would've found it hard to resist going on the Mooring Line Merry Go Round but at the very least check for leg clearance.
Shake hands with danger!
Hey Ryan love the videos just bought some teak to use as a model base for a future New Jersey model build! can't wait to get to that project since it'll have a real piece of New Jersey to rest on.
Grass, very surprising
Thanks Ryan! 👍👍
It is great she is getting some love.
Idea for a future Video ? You keep making Interesting Videos about other Ships ,that is Great . How about Navy Airships . Goodyear made for Anti Sub patrol . Thank you for this episode .
I have a question, Ryan. I live in Ft. Myers, Florida and just went through the experience of hurricane Ian. I've seen first hand the power of wind and water on moored boats. What I'm wondering is what would be the process of trying to protect a ship the size of New Jersey that cannot leave port to handle the strong winds and intense surge of a direct hit from such a massive storm?
At a guess I'd it's a case of "Set condition zebra throughout the ship"
So wait di you guys deck over the helicopter pad on the aft of the ship completely? So not it's like the ww2 all wood deck aft???
Very good to see !
Love seeing videos of this ship being maintained,however I’ve always been curious as to how exactly the decking is actually attached to the ship?
It would be cool to make something with the salvaged teak from the ship.
You can if you like. They sell the teak and they also sell some things made out of it.
Nice Shapiro quality segue.
A little late to add this, but curious...I understand the whole not returning the ship to WWII condition, obviously...but any thought to restoring one of those forward bow mounted 40mm tubs, and putting a quad 40 in it? It might be a net throwback weapon and position, but far enough removed from the rest of the ship to make sense...
Try and get some work progres shots to time lapse. If safe around the construction you can shoot vids w/o audio and dub in your commentary. The new decking and other finished my spots you showed look awesome. Excellent job and thanks for the great content!
3:20 RIP Ryan
Hey look! It's a museum ship merry go round!
How about a discussion of how a "hangfire" in the main battery would be handled?
Maybe you could cook pizza on the capstan and have people grab a slice as it spins.
Lord Ryan of clan McSzimanski
I like it!
Curious as to how the projectors were set up. I'd think they'd want two projectors to avoid interruption and a third view port for the projectionist to see.
Is it best to donate to a general fund or a specific project?
Floating fighting engineering marvels
Did you guys get the roots of the grass out?
Nice work.
I think BNJ should hold open air movie nights on deck seeing as the projector room has been repaired.
Why not replace the mooring lines with wire rope? Wouldn't wire rope withstand the weather better?
Best Show on U Tube !!!
11:10.....is that an ice guitar by your foot?
Please vet your sponsors better - the need for additional funding for a non-profit is real, but shilling a scam like this damages your and the battleship's reputation. You all are amazing, and the work you're doing is important, which makes strategic alliances all the more important. To be clear: Established Titles neither sells land nor sells titles - it's the same as buying a star; they haven't the right to sell, nor do they register, nor are taxes handled appropriately. While they provide a hugely important financial boost, they are ultimately a scam with your tacit approval.
If you ever needed the forward capstan I know the Iowa got their forward capstans and anchors working.
Yeah that's why I'm surprised that Ryan keeps saying that it takes too much power to make operational. In the videos for Iowa getting ready for tow they fired up the system on diesel generator power.
A testament that no matter what we do, nature will always prevail.
The tech priest, curator Ryan, has found an intact STC.
Begin the encantations and lubricate the machine spirts gears.
That was my reaction to the video title...
Please keep hands and feet inside until ride comes to a complete stop.😁
Does the USA have an equivalent to the rope factory at Chatham dockyard, UK?
It would be cool to get your rope traditionally made from such a historic site.
Might have already been answered, but does the teak get any kind of extra protection to last longer or is it waterproof enough in itself? As a swede that has not been around boats a lot, I have no idea how waterproof it is, but to me it would seem reasonable to at least use some linseed oil to protect it.
Teak is an oily hardwood that is incredibly resistant to the weather. It's not magic. It will deteriorate eventually. However, you generally don't need to do much to it for it to maintain its integrity. Most of the yacht guys will oil it or varnish it regularly to keep it shiny, but on its own, teak is pretty durable and stable. Case and point, a group of ferries I'm familiar with had the same unfinished teak railings for at least 25 years, as far as I understand.
ok I know this could be a dumb question, but why do you not powder coat the steel on the ship, I have seen it done using heaters instead of an oven. there was a show about a building steel being power coated before the concrete was poured. just don't remember the name of the show.
i totally wouldve hopped on there as well lol. gotta let the inner child out once in awhile lol.
So, im getting that you almost had to start mowing the deck.
That deforest/reforest segue was smooooth...
You could replace the deck with Astro turf. Put in a kiddieland.
Any ship is just a constant sink of both manpower and money. Trying to maintain a 50,000 ton battleship without a 2,000 person crew and without the resources of the US Navy must be a herculean effort.
Is it possible for someone to smuggle a 16” shell on board and fire it and blow up that bridge?
Ok so long as you don't accidentally discover that the 16-inch guns still work! "Oops, sorry about that Swedesboro."
can someone post what time stamp the "new discovery" in mentioned
Starting from 2:54 - the "discovery" is that the capstan is operational when previously they though it wouldn't work.
Is there a story with that belt you wear?
I would like to see the deck replacement in progress
Who has to swab the deck after it’s all installed?
Can you make jewelry or decorations out or the mooring lines?
I always thought cement was alkaline, and why you can wash it with acid.
Whrn Ryan almost gets crushed 😂😂
I'm gonna say dump the concrete stairs and have people board on original style gangplanks..... It will give guests with a fear of heights a special treat :P
and wait... at 11:40 what is that built into the deck that looks like a guitar?
Has anyone stayed on the museum ship during a huricane recently and how did the ship react?
Look up the USS Alabama I believe some people did stay on it during a hurricane. But I think she's sitting in the mud though. either way you'll find something on Google about it
Definition of Irony: Sponsored by a organization that plants trees, for a project that used a small forest to re-deck a Historic Boat....
LoL...honestly tho, love the project 👍
What type of wood are you using for the new deck?
They are using a laminated system of Plywood for the base with Teak boards layered on top.
The plan at least was a plywood base, with a teak covering. There is more detail in another an earlier videos when they were still getting funding for redecking: th-cam.com/video/OIteMpyHb48/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BattleshipNewJersey
youve been wrong 100 times....concrete is good for steel because it's highly alkaline(the opposite of acidic) environment that steel won't corrode in. what is bad for steel in concrete are chloride (de-icing agents) that pass through the porus concrete and corrode the steel
Yeah IJN Mikasa says otherwise
@@Knight6831 huh ?
@@louishale4977 the concrete has destroyed Mikasa's underwater hull
osha???? ocean!!!!!!
You cant call yourself Lord or Lady anything by buying a plot of land in Scotland.
eh, at least they are giving the ship money. I also think it is a gimmick
Seems easier to preserve old aircraft made from aluminium than ships made from steel
Don't forget to de weed the deck today lol
Thanks but having a Lordship bestowed upon me might ruin my run for President.
It's just an honorary title, wouldn't prohibit a presidential bid.
