General Electric, supplied a lot of electrical equipment for the navy, in the past. I worked with a lot of tech reps from GE, in the 70's. Generators mostly on Fast attack subs.

"stop asking me if I can get on-" i bet someone out there has the biggest smile knowing that would be a question when the dry dock tours began

Stop asking for money I donated already

Hi Ryan, how far is it back to the NJ dock and how far off the coast will the NJ need to be for the trip?

Some of the local warbird groups used to practice "attacking" the Suisun fleet. The Glomar and Iowa were awesome.

Why aren't the reserve fleet ships given to the Philippines and Taiwan to immediately build up their naval forces! Better than to scrap or rust away! Send them to our allies in the south China Sea!

Too may ads. I suggest everyone installs an adblocker.

There was a T-2 tanker brought out of reserve in the 90s or 80s for the war in the middle east

gun cruisers?

The zig zag welding pattern would make it less likely to crack along the edge of the weld.

Just thinking about the ship breaking process and how they would cut up massive slabs of 14"+ thick belt armor from battleships?

Battleship is legit one of my favorite movies ever. I absolutely love that movie even though its unrealistic as hell.

As soon as there’s an alien invasion off of Oahu.

Nu-clear. Not nu-cue-ler.

Look how many Clemson and Wickes class destroyers built for or shortly after WW1 served for the duration of WW2. As Ryan has stated and I may be paraphrasing a bit, " you go to war with the fleet you have.... "

Ryan: "nucular"

Omg he actually did finally upload a video that answered my question about blast radius with visual aids. 👏 👏 👏

Kirov is far superior ❤

This is the most verbose and obtuse way to simply not deliver on the title. Rather than some lecture that covers 800 factoids, I just wanted what the title promised: show the blast radius. Even a before and after picture - a diagram for that matter to show scale…not this museum tour guide yapping about nothing.

Please, stop saying "nukular"! The word is nu-cle-ar. Nukular is unprofessional.

You need to sell that curator helmet sticker😂

Can I get on these ships?

Too many of these vessels are sold to scrap dealers for pennies on the dollar.

I would love to take a ride on her, but I can't afford 3,0000!

Hey! This guy brought his "ski's" with him1

My first ship, USS Springfield CLG-7, was there in the Reserve Basin between USS Newport News (CA-148) and USS Northampton (CC-1) IN 1980.

Yamato is far superior

How does the navy train new crews to go back to old ships ? Who even knows how to fire the big guns anymore ?

250k special: Give Ryan a gift certificate to a speech therapist so he can stop saying “nucular.”

I have only visited two so far, but plan to eventually hit all 4.

Thats a dumb question, how the hell should we know.

Lets assume you don't want to use the standard terms like fleet or flotilla; but lets combine that with another term - battery (large grouping of military guns, mortar systems, rocket artillery, etc.). So, how about a Battilla of Battleships?

I haven’t even asked once 😂

Yeah, please don't just show up and try to drive into the pier checkpoints, the nice guards won't be quite as nice if you do. There are several nice spots on public roads to look at the ships from a distance! Also, most of the OHPs are pending disposal, not on FMS hold or donation hold. Ships in FMS hold are not meant to have things stripped by US or foreign navies. Other than being designated for disposal, there is also a hold status just for keeping TO be stripped for parts. Finally, there are occasionally ships held in special reserve status before being transitioned from active duty to a special duty like as a test ship.

How does it work in the US for reserve ship crew. Is there a Navy reserve. In countries where military is mostly one year conscription + everyone in reserve it is common to also activate equipment from long term strorage as part of 1-2 week military refreshers for the reservist. At least army vehicles and other systems. I don't know if that could work with keeping naval vessels more active. Having the trained (previously active but discharged) crew come in from their civilian jobs once a year to sail a few weeks, maintain the ship and participate in war games.

This was the last ship my grandfather served aboard, he was in the Cameron highlanders during ww1 in the trenches and at the out break of ww2 he joined the Royal Navy and served onboard a minesweeper not sure about the name though as my grandfather passed away in the 1970s so I never had the pleasure of knowing him but I do know my grandmother not got him home until the 1950s when he finally said goodbye to his military service for good, he served all over the world and contracted malaria during his time in the navy whilst serving in Asia somewhere, I think it might have been Malaysia but not sure, I would have loved to have heard about his military days

does anyone know which ship has been reactivated the most before final disposal?

I don't understand how so many people cannot see we are on the cusp of World War III. Many Nations are assembling forces. It's likely there will be a draft.

I just wonder, if we did get to a point we needed to reactivate these ships, if we would even have enough men to operate them.

I was searching for "New Jersey + Warspite" to see if Ryan has said something about HMS Warspite. If he mentions Warspite as a "worst ship", I do not know what I will do.

1. Enterprise, CV-6 2. Saratoga, CV-3 Joe

That was one of the most simple explanations I have heard…… NOT…. Only the navy could have that much complexity….

The Navy can park a Nimitz at my place.. in the Netherlands!

I’m so happy Ryan did a video about the Starfleet museum, and Galactica as a bonus. Few things about the ‘realism’ of the Starfleet museum: there isn’t the concept of money anymore (never really been sure how people would still be expected to turn up for work, but hey ho). So, there are no costs associated. I would imagine they make heavy use of maintenance drones to keep the ships in good condition, so again little effort required. Also, the ships are in space, an environment where they wouldn’t deteriorate and could last indefinitely. All you need is to keep minimal deflector shields up to prevent getting hit by space debris, and I would guess Space Dock extends a field around them all for that. As for visitor numbers, if you’re not relying on people paying to see them, you don’t care too much, and I would expect Starfleet regularly sends out cadets to learn about their history. As for Galactica surviving years without maintenance: I think that’s a product of the war she was designed for. She was built to be a brick sh*t house and deliberately as dumb and simple as possible. The more unrealistic element is the civilian fleet lasting so long without proper maintenance and spare parts. I’d love Ryan to do a video of the scene in Battleship where they drop the anchor and do a handbrake turn to get the guns in position. What would actually happen? The chain snaps and they keep spinning around, or the bow crumples/gets ripped off? Either way I can’t see them coming to a dead stop perfectly in position. Watching his real-time reaction to the clip would be comedy gold! Thankyou for attending my pointless and unnecessary TED talk 😊

Our present day Navy can’t even find enough sailors to crew the ships we have in service now let alone reactivating reserve ships in a crisis situation. Ships are worthless without trained crew. Our armed forces are more worried about pronouns than finding people who are willing to fight and protect our country.🇺🇸

United States reserve fleet is far larger than the entirety of the British active fleet by far …..what have we done to our country 🤦🏼‍♂️

Is this a "HINT"?
