I flew into US Navy's most unique ship and spent 3 nights onboard. USS New York is indeed a very special ship. But why this ship sometimes puts on a light show, how bringing women onboard surface combatants made things much more comfortable for men, and why the Navy is downgrading the future iteration of this class by designing it to be less capable, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

This video is 20 minutes, which is about the equivalent of a 30 minute TV documentary with commercials and this is just as good if not better than the overly produced, difficult to get made documentaries that you just had to hope to catch on TV or may never be seen again.

@thegreatescape07 7 днів тому

I love that military technology is so cool that it doesn't matter who developed it, we all just find it fascinating. I recently watched *The Insane Engineering of the M1 Abrams* by _Real Engineering_ that talked about how the US Abrams tank uses a _German_ 120mm main gun. Initially the Abrams had a 140mm main gun but changed to a smaller (but equally capable) 120mm main gun developed in Germany and used for their tanks. The reason for the switch was a UN initiative that focused on _standardization of ammunition._ There would be efficient supply lines shared between allies in the event of war. (If I'm not mistaken this was prompted by the cold war.) Since Germany already developed and used 120mm main guns for their tanks and there was a high likelihood of the US deploying tanks against Russia, it would be more efficient for Germany to supply US tanks with ammunition they could quickly create, so Germany provided the technology to the US military.

In 1975 I was a Marine captain deployed in the western Pacific. That year I was embarked aboard LST (Landing Ship Tank ), LSD (Landing Ship Dock), and LPD (Landing Ship Platform). My battalion participated in the evacuation of Saigon in April 1975. My company was embarked on the LPD USS Denver. The most sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons were twin 40 mm positions, but I honestly don't think anyone knew how to operate them since they were useless against the modern jets of the day. All I can say is that the USS New York LPD looks like a 5 Star luxury resort compared to what we had in 1975. The ward room on the LPD Denver was very small and required 4 sittings to serve all of the officers every meal. Each officer was assigned to one of the 4 sittings. Each sitting was for 20 minutes and if you were late, you missed the meal. Several things I still distinctly remember: the smell of diesel fumes were constant, there was a film of oil from the fumes an the decks and bulkheads, and how easy it was to get lost on the ship. Interesting times in those days.

I was born and raised in New York City. I enlisted in the United States Navy at the age of 17, in 1974, just like Richie did. I served as a gunner's mate aboard an amphibious cargo ship, homeported in Norfolk, VA. After my 6 year hitch I returned to my life in NYC and, in 1984, I became an Emergency Medical Technician. I was an officer with the Williamsburg (Brooklyn) Volunteer Ambulance Corps for 14 years, as well as working as an EMT/driver for a few different commercial ambulance companies. I left NYC in 2001, just a few months before 9/11. Of the many first responders that we lost that day, 7 were friends and former partners. Had things in my life turned out a little differently I probably would have been with them. I now live not too far from Norfolk, VA where I served nearly half a century ago. Thank you for making this video. Thank you for giving Richie a little camera time. Thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into your coverage of our military members today, and the challenges they face as our nation continues forward. We face a future that may not be what we think it will be, but our military members will face it as they have for more than 250 years, with pride, honor, courage, and American unflinching determination. God bless America.

A quick correction. The bridge lights are not red because the light "dissipates" more quickly. It takes a while to adapt vision at night. That means if you were using white lights and stepped from the bridge to outside, you would be more or less blind until you eyes adapted. If you're in the bridge with red lights, you can step outside and your eyes are already adapted.

I enjoyed your comments and appreciate your efforts to both learn and teach. I was in the shipyard when the San Antonio was being built. I was working for Polar Tankers. I never toured the ship on the inside. Your comment on the orientation of the ladder rungs was interesting. There are two schools of thought when it comes to rungs. The first is that the rungs should be flat so they are easier to hold. The second says the rungs should point up to provide better footing. There is also the argument that you should climb or descend ladders holding the rails. Holding the rails avoids loss of grip should the rung be loose. On tankers we never worried about stealth. Rungs up!

I've spent a lot of time on ships during my time in the Marines. I think you have done a fantastic job putting this video together. I am jelous about the new racks they have. They are multiple steps up from what we had. Thanks for doing the video.

@demotime7947 3 місяці тому

Lol. Hate to bust your bubble devil dog but the marine racks are not the sit up ones on these ships. I precommed the FTL (LPD-28) in 2022. But then again, maybe the navy doesn't want you comfortable, they want you angry when we drop you on the beach.

I like the longer form video and the content. More was explained and there was a greater variety of content. Keep it up along with your great shorter form videos for simpler subjects.

Very very cool you got to tour an Osprey before they were grounded. Amazing feats of engineering just maybe a little too ambitious

@mako88sb 4 місяці тому

Not sure if you’re aware Ward Carroll’s channel? He did a great deep dive episode about the Osprey and grounding. Well worth watching.

hello @notwhatyouthink this is a wonderful video because i believe it will drive some interest for the Marines or the Navy. These are some fantastic jobs you can have as an enlisted member! The younger ones need to check this video out for sure! Very cool, nice job!
