Awesome footage, thank you for sharing 👌🏻
Iowa class has bassically fletchers on each side
Iowa class was an incredible ship series.
2:41 what are they pulling doe?
U need kept that ship afloat..
Wow…just so breathtaking. So nostalgic seen faces I've never known but sure their actions gave us all this piece of freedom.
Racist Han bitch!
The Iowa class was NOT made for heavy seas
Iowas sure did like to knife through the waves… the long beam to length and the clipper bow made her a bit wet up forward…
White shoes with no socks, barefoot, hats worn like lampshades…love it.
wow them sunsets amazing video 🙂
My Dad was likely
aboard ship when that was shot…
Underway refueling of a FLETCHER. Neat. TNX.
Anyone know what Essex-class carrier that is steaming abeam at 7:00? Kinda wondering if she could be my Dad's old carrier, the Lexington (CV-16).
