Three million well spent. The research being done on these vessels could save lives, and the experience gained by those working on the salvage makes the effort something of a training exercise.
Another interesting story I was not aware of. I spent a couple of days in 1010 on ex-Shadwell testing effect of large lithium battery fires. It was a valuable resource for the Navy firefighting efforts.
Great video, as always. No BS. And actually pretty good Govt value, for a change. But...at 16m01s Is the USN, USCG and assorted contractors using a vessel that says Made in China ??
The upside of being up early to work on the weekend, getting here an hour after it dropped! (My folks' families are from the Gulf and we had family get their houses flooded in the hurricane, but I'd never heard this story!)
Reminds me of the grounding of the APL Panama, Xmas Eve 2005, south of the port of Ensenada, Mexico. I was crew of a support vessel during the salvage. I believe it was March before it was refloated, with no structural damage
$3 Million sounds pretty cheap for that level of effort and specialized equipment needed.
Shadwell by name, Shad very well by reputation?
🤣
Yeah baby!
Niiiiice!
Fook-Mi? Fook-Yu!
Grrroovy! Yeah!

Excellent (no BS) presentation, as usual.

WooHoo, a new Waterline Stories!!!

Quick note: Some of the photos you used are of the current State of Maine ship and not the former State of Maine which was broken up in 2011.
Very cool story, great video.

Awesome video, awesome channel.
