- Battleship Iowa - Take a walk along Broadway, explore Engine Room #2 and Fire Room #4, and go to Aft Plot and fire a 16" turret gun.
Update: 4 March 2020 - These below deck areas as well as several others are part Battleship Iowa's guided "Engineer Tour". The tour (previously called "Full Steam Ahead" tour) now covers from Anchor Windless to Aft Steering. I have just posted a video of Engine Room No 4 which will soon be added to the Engineering Tour. See: www.pacificbattleship.com for more details.
Nice that the ship is being maintained so well and it was nice to remember what I experienced serving aboard New Jersey in the #3 fireroom.
We have MANY Volunteers ... but many have not come back or do so seldomly ... but those that are here do a GREAT JOB!!
Thank you for serving our country.
When I was 13 or 14ish my dad took my down to Fall River Mass. Battleship Cove to see the U.S.S Massachusetts.. What a profound impact that ship had on me. At 44 I still remember that day and everything I saw like it happened this afternoon. From that day on I began my love affair with battleships of the ww1 and ww2 era. How I wished I was born decades earlier so I too could have had a chance to serve on one of these works of art.. Thank you for all you do here!
Brought back memories. Fire room made me think of the Heat Stress Monster.
The engineering on military ships is mind boggling. The engineers that design where every little pipe, wire, valve, and everything else goes without conflict blows my mind.
You should see an aircraft then, its every bit as complex but in a smaller space
When looking at a glance it looks like a nowadays warship it's kept in a really good shape. Wow really impressive.
Wow, that's straight up mechanical awesomeness. I could probably spend a week down there exploring. Thanks for showing us around, Iowa is really looking good.
Thanks for the feedback. I have just posted a new video showing Engine Room No. 4 which is presently being readied for inclusion, in a few months, to the Engineering Tour. The Engineering Tour, previously called "Full Steam Ahead", has been expanded. Engine Room No 4 as well as other below deck spaces are part of the expanded Engineering Tour.
Descending into the bowells of the ship takes on a whole.meaning without narrative, no wasted space, everything in order. massive power, wow.😶
Lovely condition well done team,!
Thats incredible what a ship thanks kinda liked the walk just looking around feels more like your there than having to endure 'and over here....' hope you walk the whole ship eventually.
I wonder how many Electricians Mates it took to sort all that out and keep it running. Nothing short of amazing.
We had 80 on the America. Could not keep up with it all.
Geez! I look at that wiring. ...I can barely keep my 1974 Harley charging; and there is only 4 wires. I'm amazed by this stuff!
I have sailed on newly commissioned vessels that did not look as good. The folks doing restoration are to be congratulated.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Sterling Ayden Instablaster ;)
@Jad Bowen thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jad Bowen it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Sterling Ayden glad I could help xD
This is so awesome! I stood watch in 4MMR on board the USS KITTY HAWK CVA63. My duty station was the control booth(which I worked my way up to) where I stood throttles. The green wheel is the ahead throttle and the red wheel is the astearn throttle. I recognize some of the guages.....of course. Best duty station. I won that job over two other guys and it became my general quarters station as well. Nothing quite like being 18 and 19 yrs old and having the responsibility of running the #4 screw aboard an aircraft carrier during war time. Thrilling to say the least. That video just brought me back to life. Some of the greatest yrs of my life.
The difference, I just noticed, is that the throttles here don't have handles...speed handles. When doing an UNREP( underway replenishment) the carrier pulls up next to the supply ship, then does what is called a "back down" where you quickly close the ahead throttle and start to crack open the astearn throttle to come along side. Then at 10 knots the replenishment begins. It's a sight to behold from the hangar deck.
Thanks for posting your silent tour. I'm so disappointed that you only visited the aft plot room for secondary battery 5" gun fire control. The adjoining door was open to main battery aft plot where the 16" guns were sometimes controlled you just didn't go in. I suppose I'll have to go to LA to see my old workspace.
As a member of USS IOWA, Tom, that space you mention is part of our "Gun Tour"....getting re-trained to do that tour again. It is OPEN and So is IOWA....IOWA is open everyday, but topside only, the below decks is open and lit on WEEKENDS Only... this includes "Gun Tour" and "Engineering Tour".
@@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P thanks for your service to the good ship Iowa. Someday I hope to come see y'all. Thanks for your response.
@@tomthompson5686 Sure thing 'Tom Thompson' ... we are still "floating" a Much reduced staff but Volunteers are still working around the ship to keep her maintained!! As for Tours, as mentioned above, we are OPEN... Gift shop is opening soon below decks, trying to work things out, but our "newer" museum section "LOST AT SEA" is still closed off ( don't know why ), but weekends are popping / good crowds and that is when those tours Plus (+) the "Presidential Tour" is opened as well...sometimes That is opened during weekdays, but depends who is on watch for that.
Hope to see ya on board.
Nice touch on the sound effect for the trigger pull

nice steady camera work. a bit of narrative would have made this a great video. unlike a lot of folks, you maintained very good camera control.
''I didn't know it was loaded''. Blew up a Taco Bell in El Cajon.
In with the burners, up with the steam and then it's out on the ocean (this is what it looks like). Those who maintain her do and have done a fantastic job, it looks like the ship is in full operation, ready to fight for its homeland. Edit : I am incredibly impressed with what I see
There is nothing more gratifying than being at sea on a war ship.
I jumped when he pulled the trigger hahaha
Thank you for showing us this.
As someone who spent many watches polishing brightwork, it's nice to see that the museum staff keeps up on that! Nothing irks me more than visiting museum ships and seeing dull brightwork. Reeks of laziness.
such magnificent machines. Carriers are cool, but the Battleship is truly the ambassador of the Navy! Must had my speakers off tho! ;
I'd love to see one of these magnificent ships 🚢 😍
7:55 I like the handy provision of a water fountain in case somebody gets thirsty down there.
All engineering spaces have scuttlebutts, without them you wouldn't be able to stand the space heat as well.
Gets really hot 130°
Thank you for the Great video
Would be great to see the ship have all her fuel tanks topped off and fire up the boilers .
It would be great to see the Navy bring in some Electricians Mates and be TDY for 6 months and assist with the maintenance. It would be a good education for them as well as for other Departments.
Looks a lot like Wisconsin except we have Eng. Rm #1 open to the public.
A Lt on NJ sister ship would not give us a tour on this part of the ship in 1983
The wiring alone on this ship is mind boggling.
This looks more confusingly cluttered, claustrophobic and convoluted than the Nostromo sets. I'm sure it took extreme mental clarity and coolness under stress to operate these vessels.
Every big ship has a Broadway! On LHD it's starboard through the mess deck to hanger bay all the way forward
I actually worked in Fire Room #4.
wow. thanks for the jump scare
I just watched an episode of CBS’s Seal Team (s04e14) and it showed several of the characters walking thorough a ship and it looked very similar to this. Can anyone confirm that Iowa was used for filming?
CBS was at the Iowa some weeks ago doing some filming.
As a retired machinist mate I found that the navy is unfair. I spent an entire deployment standing watches in the engine room six hours on and six hours off in a 120 degree space while administrative personnel stand no watches and work in an air conditioned space and get paid the same. I would not do it over again. It's not surprising that most seaman strikers always tried to be postal clerks.
Who spilled the yellow paint ? Nice quiet tour.
I don't know when the yellow paint was spilled around in the Fire Room. It may have been when the Navy mothballed the ship.
more than likely it is primer, they just never got around to painting it.
Keep up the Great work
imagine being in it during battles
What was the purpose of all the green paint splattered all over stuff? At one point I saw a huge area on the deck and other points with a little spot..
Who's still polishing all the brass?
Designed in the 30's built in the 40's and some of them served off and on until the 90's, think about that.
my dad didnt he was the first 88 called plank owners
The yellow transport rails have to have been added after a certain Mr Segal film because Zulu Alpha would be fucked lol
What do you think, could she brought back to Service?
I've been told that BB61 could be brought back into service. It's just a matter of money. A lot of it. But no one believes it is likely to occur.
If She's Brought Back To Service Sign me Up
Can you even imagine the noise going on there?
I served on the Iowa from 84-86, and spent time in aft plot main battery (The one shown is secondary battery). I got to pull the trigger during a 3 gun salvo and although exciting, the noise was more of a rumble than a roar.
How did they close the hatches down Broadway with the beam running down it. Was this removed while underway?
There are removable sections located at each doorway along Broadway which are removed when the rail system is not in use.
This was classified in 1983
Nice tour to bad you didn't know anything about the equipment you were filming. It could have been very informative. Although being a retired Machinist Mate I am familiar with much of the equipment in both the Engine and Fire Rooms. Gun Plot not so much.
This video was specificially targeted for our Active Volunteers who are working on the restoration of or have previously worked on the Battleship Iowa. Therefore, no narration was needed for this presentation. However, The Battleship Iowa has recently instituted guided tours that take visitors into these spaces. It's called the "Full STEAM Ahead Tour" and can be accessed thru the ship's web site. ( www.pacificbattleship.com)
Well, pardon me for not understanding the intent of this video. I must say that the volunteers that have done the work to preserve and maintain the equipment and the spaces have done an amazing job. One day I intend to take the tour.
@@bluehardhat315 what about 4 engineroom? What is the status of that? I served on Iowa in 4ER there was a mural painted about the LP turbine with our names on it. Could you possibly post a picture of it?
I took a couple of photos today of the artwork with names (Oct 26, 1990) that is painted atop the turbine. It is in excellant shape. However, despite my efforts, it appears that RUclips will not allow me to attach photos to this message.
@@bluehardhat315 Wow...I would love to see them as my name is in one and I know the guy who painted them.
4:57. LOL, every teenage boys dream!
who else jumped when he pulled the trigger with headphones >.>
anyone want to see the original sailor who joined it first called plank owners 88 of them rare picture for a mere 100 thumbs up ill show it
MORE OLD SCRAP......JUNK
Yup you said it just like you only thing is they will out live you and you will turn to dust never too heard off again mr junk!
Do a video of the inside of turret two.
Turret number two is off limits because of what took place there. However, a few damaged artifacts have been placed in the Battleship Iowa's museum on deck two. There is also a short video, I presume taken by the Navy, during the explosion aftermath. It is shown in a separate, small video room in the museum area. I've seen only small bits of the video. Some of it is notably graphic. I don't know if it shows the inside.
Thank you for the information.
@Fallen. pengu the bodies was removed. Its off limits as a sign of respect for the dead
@@bluehardhat315 I know a guy aboard when it happened. He lost friends and had some PTSD.
@@jimbeck553 I too know someone who was there at that time as well.
