At 13:22 far left of the screen you can see the icon of St Nicholas. That’s because this ship, served in the Greek navy.

It's cool to see the whale boat still helping even after all of these years!

If possible have you covered the DE34? If not can you?

God Bless Y'all; Nothing like hearing that baby purr

What do you use as a rust converter/killer before you prime and paint topside?

Are those filter springs something you can find off the shelf?

Is a 'rust restoring' primer of any value in this environment?

Queen Mary 81,000 tons of fun !

Dad was on Shangri La in WW2 so I always like to “promote”the ship since this is about a carrier. Shang was the first carrier with angle deck, steam, cats, mod island. So I think she may have been close to the most powerful carrier for 10 months when the Forestall was commissioned. But I know she didn’t have the capability of the heaviest ac but she served well.

I went on Midway about two years ago, summertime and midweek. Very busy, really felt like an active ship. Later in the visit there was a navy dinner event w/hundreds. Most of the docents were former crew and many visitors were former navy and would correct any mistakes the docents made.

She is a great little ship. Several years ago, As volunteers of BB35 Texas we were able to see some non-public spaces. Her opposing piston diesel engines are quite interesting. Her CIC is largely intact and complete.

I love seeing the Slater. I was career Navy from 86-05, in a lot of different positions, but as I get older I really miss my sea duty the most. There was something special about being stationed aboard a Warship. (We complained about it plenty at the time, though, LOL) I'm hoping to get down there more and possibly volunteer myself.

Seeing the plume from the Sixth-Fleet over the horizon is a treat

Cool.

If anyone was ever meant to be a tour guide it is this gentleman. Good job Dick.

Thanks for documenting this story. We can never forget!

Thanks for this detailed documentary.

U.S.S. Emmons?

Cool! I love the volunteer series you have done! It helps knowing some people because I plan on joining as a volunteer 😁!

The fat electrician did a wonderful version of telling the story as well, thank you for taking the time to put this together in a more detailed manner.

Awesome lady! I can call her a friend!

something about the the size of the fight in the dog

The episode we were all waiting for.

As crazy as it sounds, I believe those allegations are true about the Philadelphia Experiment. How can someone just make up a story like that, especially in 1943?

It's Ron! 🙂

What people call this a conspiracy theory it also has some fact to it. People in Norfolk, Virginia saw it too.

That was a wonderful story. Thank you.

What a treat! That is one sharp lady.

What a tale. Amazing of her to come by and share her story.

Great series! Ron is killing it, and so are the ladies. Always enjoyed my time working around them. Great hard workers!!

Woohoo!

Ζήτω η Ελλάδα! 🇬🇷

Are yall ever planning on moving the ship under her own power? i ask that because i seee youve started some of her engines(or DGs im not sure)

Is there plans for the slater to go into dry dock in the near future or has that happened in the last decade?

This was excellent. Thank you James M for the details - I enjoyed your comedy!

First comment!

So exciting to see preparations towards getting a main running! You mentioned that several brushes were in rough shape; do you know of spares or replacements?

I'd like to do this one day, imagine being inside and learning the knowledge of how the ship was made, great work draining the oil filter

Thank you for your dedication to Slater, Ron.

Great job Ron! You're a great dude! And a good friend!

Ron is such a cool dude. His passion is contagious.

Impressive!!! Love the stuff you guys put out, amazing work!

My father served on the Stern, Wesson and lastly the Swearer, all Cannons. He stayed stateside as part of a skeleton crew mothballing these ships. He was a radio operaterator. It would be nice to see bridge and communications areas. He passed away at the age of 96 , 2023.

Very Cool!

I stopped there last year but was too late for the tour. I'm planning another road-trip this summer and this time, I'll make the tour!

amazing ship

Dennis is such a nice guy and very knowledgeable. All around pleasure to hang out with.

I had the honor to serve with Scott in the Navy in our early days in nuclear training. What a tremendous shipmate and an even better friend.

The schnorkel was a Dutch invention which the Germans found in Rotterdam.

Which if any maintenance projects are ongoing on Saturdays? I work weekdays and assisted with the steam table this winter, any ongoing maintenance projects on weekends?
