A nice bit of fun , I'm sure Ryan will be laughing . seriously I wish we in the UK. had been able to preserve a few more 20th C ships . Its remarkable that there are so many in the US. and a tribute to all the people who have spent their time and contributed to achieve that . Good luck to USS Kidd .
Hi I'm Ryan szimanski 😂 now what everyone needs to learn is Ryan's outro battleship new jersey receives opperating fund from new jersey state etc that's a tounge twister great gag though 👍
@@usskidd661 it was tongue in cheek 😉 it was awsome of louisiana to help fund this fantasic ship for generations to see and learn about keeping history alive
Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady. All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating. So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up? Please stand up? Please stand up?
Hope he responds to this. Other ships should do more vids like his to create interest. Think it is time for a new build BB though soon but replace the big guns with a mix of railguns and missile loads, go nuclear drive and add a to the aft both a limited flight ops deck for about 4 VSTOL or Helicopter craft and a well deck (a smaller version of the landing assault ships for special ops) Could escort the carriers or break off for detached independent ops. With rail guns that have been tested so far a 5 to 15 lbs. slugs could match the power of the old 16inch guns with less weight and no powder. The top turret house could hold the whole thing including the mags. The aft guns could even be on the top of a hanger for the 4 aircraft. The Idea of the missile battleship was rejected as the missiles were too expensive for a full load and slow to replace at need. What I suggest would be about equal to two missile frigates in missiles in a muti-role ship able to take over or augment nearly any other ship's job in the fleet at need, short of a carrier or sub.
Nah.... Bigger guns = Bigger hull = More to maintain. We're just having fun with our peeps. 🙂 Besides, the big guns ALWAYS need the small boys to protect them. 😉😏👀🇺🇲🏴☠️
The real Ryan Szimanski has at least 8" of belt hanging past the buckle...
Well done!
Lol. Costuming department was saving the budget for the belt for the forthcoming "Movie of the Week."
You are forgetting the all important "Museum and Memorial" part! But seriously, nearly fell out of my chair laughing at this. Great job!
You saw how much trouble some of them had just remembering their cues, right? 😆😂🤣
Ahhhh, that was fantastic! Loved watching that short!
Please do MORE!!!😎😁
This is the sad story of what happens to dedicated ship people when you take their ship away from them.
😄😆😂🤣 Withdrawal? Detoxing?
Greetings, DD-661 crew! Sending all the goodness from BB-62 land!
Greetings, F-Man! Right back at ya from this old Jersey girl.
Howdy and hello, we're Ryan Szimanski.
😄😆😂🤣
Great video! Everybody loves Ryan 😊😊😊😊😊
RAY-mond. Everybody loves RAY-mond. 😉
Wheres' Mr. Ryan Szimanski? I saw his name in the title and there wasn't even a slight mention of him! XD
😄😆😂🤣
"...like this one of battleship NEW JERSEY" 🤣
Seems it shrunk a little bit.🤭
The water was COLD!!! 😄😆😂🤣
I'm Ryan, and so is my wife.
😆😂🤣

Kinda pity you fellas over there, you only have Caroline and Belfast, and Caroline's not exactly her old self...
"I'M SPARTACUS...er, I mean Ryan Szimanski!"
😄😂🤣
Will the real Ryan Szimanski please stand up?
This was genuinely funny. Wish he had popped in for real at the very end though.
Drach hasn't been by to see you guys yet, has he?
Drach visited back in February.
I'm so disappointed we didn't get a outro from Ryan on the moving the ship livestream.

Yeah, we'll leave that one be since Louisiana was nice enough to contribute to our own drydocking. 😉

This is gold!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
@@usskidd661 you’re welcome! I take a sneak look at the Kidd at Thomasea every chance I get. Big fan of both channels!
Will the real Ryan Szimanski please stand up... ("To Tell The Truth" 1960's/70's)
Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady.
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating.
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up?
Please stand up?
Please stand up?
If Ryan doesn’t LOL when he sees this, something’s wrong with him. 🤣🤣
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Until they imitate your credit or debit card.... 🫤
@@usskidd661 Truth!
@@allamericantravels: In which case, let me thank Ryan in advance for funding our entire drydocking and restoration efforts for 2024-25! 😄
Love the hard hat, so appropriate for the drydock videos.
Safety first!
Need the strap on light though.
But where's the end of the video spiel about where the funding comes from?
You don't give the store away all in one sitting.... Keep 'em coming back for more. 😉
“museum and memorial” ^_^

Who is one curator tall?
😄😆😂🤣 Whose curator??? 😲 NJ's or KIDD's? 👀
Love it!
You should do one spoofing "Look Who's Talking," starring Theo!
So funny! But seriously, you guys are just jealous that you don't have 16 inch guns to play with on your museum ship 😛🤣
