I cannot even begin to guess at how many castings I have machined from this very foundry. Ten plus years of working in the M-53 Main Machine Shop, I've cut my share. It's always so fascinating.
You are correct it increases a Materials hardness. I think what they may have been talking about refers to the thickness of the surface hardened layer.
The only disagreement that I have is there are other Sailors that have earned higher medals that don't have any ships named after them, such as Robert E. Bush, Nathan Green Gordon, Fred Faulkner Lester, Francis Junior Pierce, George Edward Wahlen, Joseph Robert Kerrey Edward Byers, Britt K. Slabinski, Kyle Carpenter, Dakota Meyer and many others... The reason why I say this is because the USS Miller FF-1091 was already named after him, even though he only has the Navy Cross (the medal that's below the Medal of Honor).
I’m pretty sure that’s what they meant. A lot of our media relations team don’t have any experience in anything that actually goes on in the yard so you can’t hold it against them
On a very large part (such as the one in the video) they only harden the outside layer of the part. It's sometimes referred to as case hardening. This can be achieved by heating the part up in a furnace in the manner of the part in the video. But this will only harden the outside layer of the part, and only to a certain "depth" or thickness. The thickness of that layer of (hardened) material can be increased when cooling (called "quenching") the part, and that can be controlled by how quickly or how slowly the part is cooled.
You're not wrong, but you're not right either. On the Nimitz and Ford class carriers, the rudder attaches to a shaft mounted vertically through the hull. As such, the rudder does not rotate on the shaft, the shaft and the rudder turn together, so there is no "hinge" point like you would see on a rudder using a "Gudgeon".

Спасибо за видео!❤
Очень интересно наблюдать, как по крупицам создаётся такой огромный и красивый корабль 😊
Doris Miller is right up there with the greatest men that the U.S has been able to call their own. He deserves this honor fully
1million percent!
Love it! Couldn't have named the ship after a better man!
No, He has done more with less and sacrificed more than some President who the carriers are named after.
Why isn't this name adequate for you. You're saying that he didn't do enough or what for its a small name???? Or its some racist comment?
@@elnesti1890 hes agreeing
@@elnesti1890 He’s saying Doris Miller accomplished more in his unfortunately short lifetime than the Presidents other carriers are named after.

That is awesome. You all have really excellent equipment.
I thought the "quench" increased a materials hardness, not thickness as in the description above?
You are correct. This TH-cam channel is clearly under... poorly educated management.

out of the oven and into the quench oil this casting is ready for the rudder shaft and in 2 years it will be installed on the stern block.
That legit looked like a movie scene.
i was here
Gudgeon, not rudder
You're not wrong, but you're not right either. On the Nimitz and Ford class carriers, the rudder attaches to a shaft mounted vertically through the hull.

Should have been named USS Yorktown.
