    Excellent video I served two tours in Viet Nam. First on USS Shelton DD790. Second USS Brooke FFG-1. Life changing experiences.

    Very interesting details of Navy life. I was in the Army, but my Navy buddies ALWAYS had the best 'tall tales'! Life at sea....EVERYTHING is different.

    I watched clips of the movie "Greyhound" with Tom Hanks, he was on a destroyer.

    Is the USS Slater up in Albany, NY? Looks familiar like I’ve passed by it before.

    I have s question.
    What exactly is, and where's the normal location of the CLIP SHACK? I've heard references to it when talking about the old four pipers.

    Many cruisers had wooden decks they were made for speed unlike battleship

    That Nautical picture is BS. It shows wooden decks. Destroyers do NOT have wooden decks.

      That's fair, but it's AI-generated art to make for a visually attractive thumbnail, which are often difficult to get exactly right, and also it's more intended to convey the theme and narrative of the episode overall rather than spite to 100% accuracy. So, yes, some creative license with the thumbnail, but the video footage itself is completely real and accurate.
