Walking on the USS Massachusetts in Battleship Cove

- What a day visiting Battleship Cove, going on and into a battleship and a submarine for the first time was quite the experience. It turned into a wonderful learning experience as well. Please visit Battleshipcove.org for more information. Everything was shot today using the Osmo pocket, I'm really enjoying this piece of equipment.
Thank you to Steve at Battleship Cove and the Fall River police Dept for all their support with the drone shots and making this event happen the way it turned out.

If anyone is interested. I went back and did a deeper tour with more detail.

I was going to say, I helps you got to spend some real time on those ships because there is so much to them.
@@cometjockeydave4041 and i honestly didn’t get to tour all of it. Some sections were taped off. But you right it’s so much in them. I learn more and more with each visit.
@@bobfiore8 With any luck I might be able to make the chance to get over there myself. It's been a few years for me
Please stay safe.
Just spent an over night there with a boy scout troop we got full access to all the ships and hatches. It was incredible
FEAR_DOBEY 24 Yeah I totally agree. Access to all the hatches, rooms, etc. amazing the close quarters they had to live in for long periods of time. Thank you for checking out my channel
@@bobfiore8 no problem it was a good vid
Same here ...bout 30 years ago....it was great
Disappointing. Too much "check this out" etc without explaining the name and history of these ships.
I grew up on a cattle and sheep ranch in the middle of New Mexico. The drive to high school was 74 miles one way. The closest neighbors were 4 miles away. Anyway, I joined the Navy and was sent from boot camp to Sicily, then put on a Ch-53 and flown to the Eisenhower. The moment I stepped on the deck.... I was blown away by the sheer size! Your expression as you walked on the bow section looking aft..... I think all of us have the same feelings. Can you imagine growing up on a small farm in the 1920’s then one day serving on a battleship!!!!!!
I can’t even imagine how it must have been for you, being on these larger than life vessels. I’m sorry I know I’m repeating myself allot but I honestly went there to check them out and left there with so much more. Thank you so much for your service and sharing your story and impressions. I just can only imagine how it must have been to be on them for extended amounts of time. I also appreciate the close quarters, I’m sure my thoughts aren’t as close to reality but I do appreciate. Thank you also for checking out my video and channel. I really appreciate it.
@@bobfiore8 your welcome. I joined willingly and was greatly rewarded fr my short time in. The Navy paid for all my college and ultimately flight training. Because I had been in the Navy, I made contacts that help me get an airline job early in life.
If I could do it again, if the magic wand could send me back in time, I’d finish college first, get a commission and go into the surface warfare Navy. I’d focus on eventually becoming a captain of any surface ship the Navy would give me to command. I would not get married. It’s too hard on ones family. I’d try to find some who would have an old man after I finished up a career.
I finally made it back to do a deeper dive into the ship if your interested in checking it out.

I had to delete the original and do a couple audio corrections. Please enjoy.
I visited the sister ship to the USS Massachusetts, the USS Alabama. A truly magnificent ship and such a great experience. I also toured the USS Drum, a WWII diesel electric sub just like the one you went aboard. I was also super fortunate to have toured the USS Clamagore in Charleston SC before she was sadly scrapped due to the cost of maintenance and repair. I was saddened to hear the USS Clamagore had been scrapped but not totally surprised as I had talked to several volunteers who worked on restoring her and they had said the repairs needed were far too costly for the museum to afford. While I definitely understood why, it's just horrible to think such a significant ship met with the fate of being scrapped. I encourage everyone to go visit the museum ships around the country and appreciate the history those ships represent.
Thank you and I did learn of the sister ship from another comment and I couldn’t agree with you more. If possible everyone should visit these museum ships and learn their history. For more it’s so much info that I couldn’t possibly get it all in one visit. I would say in two visits and still allot more for me to learn. I’m just trying to pay them and all those the served the honor and respect deserve when making these videos. I hope those that can’t make it to the ship can enjoy the video but if given the opportunity a video can’t do it enough justice as if seen in person.
This is a very cool video, I actually just went to battleship cove about 2 weeks ago with someone who served on the ship, and it was such a cool experience, watching your video makes me want to go back again and tour it again
Nate Wolf Thank you for checking out my channel, being a new subscriber and the kind words. I too was so overwhelmed going there. I initially went out of interest in seeing the ships and left with so much more. I really learned so much about them, their role in WWII and the people that served on them. I will go back again also. Thank you again.

Very cool. As a kid I slept over on the battleship with my Cub Scout troop. Idk what kind of tours they do now but as a kid in the 90s you could even sleep over. Very cool spot. I also have family from Fall River area myself, in Swansea and Somerset.
Thank you for checking out my video and channel. Yeah this ship is so amazing and held allot of Cub Scout over night visits. What an experience for them and to your point the memories that go with it. I made a second video and went deeper into the ship. There is so much more to it then I really knew. I will tell everyone to take a tour of they find themselves able to.
Thank you for this video! I haven't been to Battleship Cove in over 10 years, so i need to go again. What a great video.
Thank you for the kind words! Yeah those ships and sub is so impressive, in person I was blown away. I know I already mentioned this but I went to check out the ships and left with so much respect and appreciation for the history and the crews that served on them. Truly amazing.

Excellent tour!!
Thank you very much
Thank you for the great video!
It was an honor and privilege to make this video. So much history to this ship, so much to see and learn that after a couple trips I still feel I have more to go. Thank you for checking my video and channel out, I really appreciate the kind words. I’m not trying to promote my channel or videos but just to let you know I did go back for a second video that a did a deeper dive into this amazing ship. Thank you and have a great day!
I love going there! Long live the USS Massachusetts!
Such an impressive ship! To see and appreciate it in person is something else!
When this pandemic is over, I hope to go to Fall River and visit the "Big Mamie" too. I also hope to visit the U.S.S. NORTH CAROLINA also.

I just went to San Diego and went on the midway aircraft carrier..what an amazing experience. And in august I’m heading to my old home in Massachusetts and plan to go to battleship cove and look forward to going on the sub..nice vidoe👍
Very cool, I can only imagine being on that aircraft carrier. I hope you have a fun trip in August and I really appreciate the kind words.
That‘s so great and thanks for the nice video 🙏
Thank you for checking out my video and channel. I appreciate the kind words
Cool video.....I stayed the weekend on the Massachusetts when I was in boy scouts like 30 years ago......still remember it being a great time
I heard a few people say how they stayed overnight as a boy scout. It must have been such a cool trip at that age and time. The ship is larger then life with a fantastic history. Thank you for checking out my video and sharing.
thanks for posting this man. I live in FR and love those ships, especially the Massachusetts. come back soon. New Vietnam display went up. 2 refurbished helis
Thank you for checking out my video. I really enjoyed being on those ships and learning their history. I am going back very soon.
Absolutely my favorite battleship of the USN and certainly one of my favorites of all time. I’ve actually gotten a small scale model of the ship itself in my collection.
She’s quite a beauty and I’m glad such a mighty vessel bears the name of my home state, all while calling it home aswell!
She absolutely is an amazing Battleship. I couldn’t agree with you more. To walk on her and go through it was so amazing and educational for me. I really enjoyed it so much and I couldn’t learn all her history on one visit. I made a follow up video but I could honestly do a few more and still couldn’t represent all she has to offer. Thank you!
She's surprisingly underrated. It feels like the four Iowas and Texas hog all the attention from all the other museum battleships.
Thanks... Good job..
Thankyou for your up front honesty it made watching your video enjoyable and fun !!! Good job and i went aboard the pampanito in san fran and yes very tight conditions for how large the sub looks on the outside
Perhaps another video on the bat ship with more info
Thank you for the kind words, they’re greatly appreciated. Yes I’m contacting the manager, I’m trying to get a part 2 with more in depth scenery & information. It was really so much for me to try to see in one visit. I want a second visit for me as well. Thank you, I really appreciate you checking out my channel and video.

The USS Massachusettes was in the battle of Casablanca. She sank about 10 enemy ships that day including the partially completed Vichy French battleship Jean Bart. She had 9×16" guns in 3 tripple turrets 2 forward firing and 1 aft. She also sank a few large passager liners that were in the wrong place that day. Even though the Pacific theater of war dwarfed the European in terms of US Naval power projection the Massachuettes sank more enemy vessels than any other American battleship
Thank you for that! I truly appreciate learning the amazing history of this Battleship. What a history it has.
Wow so was this ship in Japan mostly? Because Casablanca is in Africa just south of Spain
My father served on the Big Mamie in the Pacific. It is incredible when he describes the Kamakazi raids! At his battle station at the powder magazine elevators for the forward upper center 16in. gun he would be inactive because the 16 inch guns could not be used to fight against the fast and frequent Kamakazi planes. The 5in, guns, Bophors and 50cal. guns would serve as anti aircraft ordinance. I thank God that he is alive and well at 95 years of age. I have been on the Massachusetts in the late 1970's, it was eerily surreal knowing my father had fought in battle where I was now walking less than 28 years earlier. Thanks WW2 vets for fighting to keep our Constitutional Republic Alive and Free! Sadly our Free Republic is in it's worse shape ever. The present government is doing everything it can to turn the USA into a socialistic communistic country. Big Tec is serving the present government to limit free speech. In the past year we have seen the government seek to destroy small business, limit expression of the freedom of religion, express false narratives of current events, ignore our Declaration of Indepence, our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Patriots it is time to resist the evil that is seeking to do away with our God given Rights!
Wow. I can imagine all the history and your father’s experiences he shared with you. That must be such a wonderful moment. Then to walk on the ship he served in years later. So surreal. Thank you for sharing and Thank You for checking out my video.
Just went today. Loved it!
It’s so amazing there. The ships are insane!

Been there several times. Built under the constraints of the 1922 Washington treaty she is a cramped version of the later "Iowa" class. First and last US Battlewagon to fire her 16in guns in WWII!!
Yeah I went back and made a second video on it and I still feel I could make a few more and not repeat myself. So much to it and so much history. Thank you for checking out my video and channel.
Beautiful preservation. Such respect for the heritage.
It’s amazing there. Yes they do such a great job with the upkeep and representation. Thank you for checking out my video!

i traveled to Maine from Michigan with my family in 1973 and we traveled up through New England. we got to Battleship Cove but the sub was all closed up. i believe they had just recently acquired it but our goal for that day was to visit Big Mamie. as an 8 year old i was over the moon about seeing it. it was my first warship and it holds a special place in my heart. my dad bought me a Revell model of her and i got a book about her as well. the model is long gone but i still have the book! id love to come back and visit but i dont know if that will ever happen.
I’m not sure you situation or ability to travel there but I hope you do get that opportunity again. I live so close, I try to keep that in perspective to not take it for granted. I am reaching out to them to make a part 2. I will keep you posted if I can. Thank you for checking out my video and channel!

The ship is so amazing and so rich with history. Every visit I learn more and more.

Such nostalgia for me. I spent a night on board for cub scouts! I plan on going soon since I’m much older now. I also went on a trip for Boy Scouts to the Intrepid in New York. Both are beautiful ships but the USS Massachusetts stands out more to me!
Chuckycheese I was so overwhelmed with the visit there from the size of the ships and learning the history of the soldiers that served on them. It is someplace you can visit numerous times and learn something new each time.
Bob Fiore I agree whole heartedly. Hence why I want to go back as an adult. I’m sure I missed a TON of history. Plus, I imagine when I was little, things may have seemed huge or different than before such as the submarine. That was a very cool experience in my book. Thank you for posting this on RUclips I know a year after the fact but still

@@bobfiore8 I’ll do so for sure! Thank you for letting me know
Travelled into USA from Canada. We stopped and toured the intrepid air and space museum and then stopped and toured the Massachusetts. It was a thrill of a lifetime. This was 1991. It cost $12 toll to travel over that bridge. Love to go back.
Nice! Sounds like a fun trip for you. I’m only 20 min away and it was a great day for me, I can only imagine. Thank you for checking out my video and commenting. Great to hear from others that enjoy this as well.

Did the overnight a couple of times when I was a kid. One of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had. I really enjoyed the full access
I can’t imagine how cool that overnight must have been.
@@bobfiore8 it was about 25 years ago and still remember it like yesterday. Definitely an awesome experience. It looks like it hasn't changed much since. Would love to go back again. Not sure if the overnight full access is just for the boyscouts or what?

@@bobfiore8 I will definitely watch, thank you so much.
just seeing this but this is very cool i would love to visit any type of battleship
Yeah this one is so huge to go through. So much history to learn while touring on it. Thank you for checking out my video and channel.
Massachusetts is such a beautiful ship. I've been going there since even before they acquired the Hiddensee. But due to the travel restrictions, I can't get there this year.
Joshua Riddensdale It really is such an amazing ship. To walk on it and go through was so educational and a bit overwhelming. I hear you on the traveling, so much I’m going back to doing and appreciate once we get back to normal.
@@bobfiore8 When I was there last year, most of the lower decks of the Kennedy were closed for repairs, as was some of the main deck of Massachusetts. And the Hiddensee is badly run down. But yeah, it's so educational. The Kennedy was part of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Massachusetts shelled and badly damaged the French battleship Jean Bart during the invasion of North Africa before being transferred to the Pacific, where she participated in the island hopping campaign.
I would love to visit Massachusetts' sister, Alabama, which is also a museum ship in her namesake state. And the North Carolina and New Jersey, both on display in their respective states.
Joshua Riddensdale wow! I didn’t know that! I went to visit that cove and ships so naïve. I left there in awe. What started as a cool venture ended up being such a history lesson for me. But to see the rooms, living and working conditions. I felt such a sense of pride. I tell everyone if they have a chance to visit. They’ll really enjoy it.
@@bobfiore8 You definitely should check out USS New Jersey @ Camden Waterfront. One of the best preserved battleships and such a rich history. Alabama @Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile is cool too, but New Jersey really rocks the boat in all aspects. ^^ Greetings from Germany.
@@Scoobz187 From Germany... so very cool! Yeah I think you right, I would really enjoy those visits. The rich history of these ships is so interesting to learn. I walked away from Battleship cove looking forward to going back. So much more for me then I could in one visit. Thank you for checking out my video and channel. Most appreciated!
I live a little less than an hour away in Franklin MA. I've been there countless times. (An hour drive for me is nothing) Even though I saw everything there is to see there, Its still a great time killer and I enjoy examining all the models on display.
Living only 20 min away I haven’t been there nearly enough, but I been more since. I was honestly so amazed at everything I was seeing and learning there. I’m attempting to make a part 2 more in depth.

wrong terms aside, a cool video. fall river is a cool town if you know what to look for. also its a good place to stay if you want to see Providence, Newport and Boston on a budget. day trips to those places are not to long a drive. ~30min drive to Providence, ~30min to Newport, ~ 1 hour Boston. Salem is farther north at ~1 1/2 hours. food in town is really good too. battleship cove alone is worth the visit.
898792 Yeah I apologize for any wrong terminology. Battleship Cove is an incredible place. So much history, I learned so much in a short visit. Your right, the location is perfect for visiting with so much around. Thank you for checking out my video and channel. I appreciate the kind words.

I've been there probably a half dozen times since 1988. Mostly as a Scout. The overnights are great. We were all addicted to the food there. Hopefully it's still good:P
Yeah visiting there for me was so overwhelming. The size of the ships, guns and all. The quarters they lived their lives in. Then the tight quarters of the sub. So much learning for me as well. That place is somewhere you can learn new things every visit. I didn’t get to eat any food there but I would guess it still is good. 😀

Very cool. This was my first time being on this or any Battleship for that matter. It was information overload for me. I left there not even close to knowing everything about it and wanting to learn more. I’m planning a revisit second video.
@@bobfiore8 yeah I go too Battleship park about once or twice a year they expand it by opening up new parts of the ships and have events year around like having aircraft perform a simulation air attack on the ship and have the drill teams open up on the attacking aircraft with the 40mm and 20mm AAA guns that are on the ship

They are called "shells".
5 bunks to a room on the sub more then likely meant that 10 men "hot-bunked" in there
Yeah it’s funny, I’ve honestly heard that term shells, just fascinated and maybe a bit overwhelmed with my findings there at the time. However I never heard the term hot-bunked. I’m guessing two men shared the same bunk on different shifts. How it must have felt being in such an enclosed space for the length of time they did.

Goid job!
Thank you Dan. It was such a learning experience on that visit. I need to go back.
@@bobfiore8 i might be doing a podcast with them in the near future. Maybe we could connect at some point.
And i have the dji osmo too. I think it worked really well in your situation. You’re a good creator.
@@danthibeault40 It’s a fun, easy and quality camera. I really like it. Thank you for the kind words, they’re greatly appreciated!
@@danthibeault40 that would be very cool. I’m in.
Come on down to Wilmington NC and see the USS NORTH CAROLINA, she’s beautiful too,. Charleston SC has the Air Craft Carrier USS HORNET and destroyer USS LAFFEY. Big Mamies sister USS ALABAMA is in Mobile Bay.
That would be very cool. I would love to explore more of these ships and learn their history. Also an aircraft carrier, that’s a big ship. Thank you for checking out my video.
@@bobfiore8 My mistake , USS YORKTOWN, and ESSEX class carrier is in SC. A little further south outside Savanna is the 8th Air Force Museum, that’s pretty cool as well. Enjoy your journey sir.
Hey Bob, if you want an awesome size comparison, go see USS CONSTITUTION in Boston. Where US NAVY all started more or less.
Nice Video! Only cringe was when you called the Shells "bullets" lol
Haha. Huge cringe moment. I said to someone else. I honestly know the term but I guess I was so overwhelmed with visual overload..... whatever it was def a goofball moment. But man it was so incredible to see these vessels inside and out in person. I’m trying to get a part 2, I reached out to them. We’ll see.
@@bobfiore8 I've been on the Missouri so your excitement is understandable ;)
@@markusz4447 Very Nice!

Oh and I corrected the cringe. lol. Ty
👉 They should paint the existing battleships in their wartime dazzle camo schemes, as they did with the North Carolina! It's like the world's largest abstract art painting! 😁👍
That would definitely be something!!
@@bobfiore8
☑️ Yeah, it makes more sense to present them in their historically accurate wartime appearance, not how they looked when sitting in port or in the mothball fleet between wars! Not only would it be more historically accurate, the dazzle paint schemes look a LOT cooler, and would most likely draw more attention, more visits, and therefore more revenue for them! I'd bet that 90% of people have NO IDEA what WW1 & WW2 naval ships actually looked like during the WW1 & WW2 wartime periods.
I visited the North Carolina as a young kid in the 70s, when it was matte grey. Despite being somewhat of a history buff, I wasn't even aware of the various historic dazzle paint schemes until maybe the mid to late 2000's!

@@bobfiore8 alr thanks!
"Bullets" ... LOL
🤣🤣🤣 yeah I knew it right after I said it and trust me I’ve already been notified in the comments.
@@bobfiore8 Tough crowd here.. 😏
@@dieselyeti yeah they were all cool about it. But I’ll tell you this. I will not make that mistake again. lol
Fall river channel has the depth to make Battleship cove.im not sure whrn Braga bridge was completed because usa massachusetts wouldnt have thr clearance..Very hidden is that Fall River had shipyard during workd?war two.three Exeter class carriers were fitted with electrucal wiring in Fall River shipyard ..The Exeters were 12000 to 16000tons displacement a fifth and less of tonnage of usa navy todays nuclear carriers.Exeters most likely built in Quincy mass Fore River . Mass.had a huge maritime history for 2 centuries very non existent after the 1980s. last time Fore River built new usa Navy ships
Wow! I didn’t realize or know alot of this. I learned so much visiting this ship. I honestly went there to check out the ships and left understanding some history of it. I’m planning a revisit video. So much more I can learn.
John are you talking about the Essex Class Air Craft Carriers? There was not an "Exeter" class as far as I know. The Essex class, had Displacement: 27,100 tons standard; 36,380 tons full load. One of the more well known of the Essex Class Carriers was the USS Franklin CV13, she was almost sunk by a kamikaze on March 19, 1945 off the coast of Japan. Casualties totaled 724 killed and 265 wounded. There is a famous photo of her returning to NY Harbor in April 45 with her flight deck all burnt up from the fires.
@@allaboutboats probally got name wrong.however i made inquiry at Cove even went to Fall River library looking for information about ww 2 shipbuilding ..zero nothing after few hours.Then a few years later in bookstore there was a photograph compendium of world war 2 cartiers and there were three or four photos of exxeters on fall river channel leaving shipyard after electrical wiring fittings.never came upon that book thereafter..A great untold detail stories of Americas extraordinary war production in. 30s and 40s is very much untold.Believe shipbuilding tonnage launched 1938 to 1945 has never bern matched by any other nation since but China maybe closing in.ALSO 400000 AIRCRAFT PUT INTO FLIGHT FROM USA WW 2 OUTPUT. IM TOO OLD TO BRING IT TO ITS RIGHTFUL POSITION.ALSO AMERICANS WERE VERY PRODUCTIVE BEYOND COMPREHENSION THEN..PS Babe Ruth if he had same at. Bats?as bobby bond Ruth homerun total 1000.Electronic Media is screwing up our judgement
They actually dredged the channel to make deeper water for her. The Braga Bridge was always there, they had to dismantle the antennas and radar to fit under.
Fore River shipyard is in Quincy,MA and has nothing to do with Fall River. You can visit the heavy cruiser USS Salem in Quincy where the shipyard is.

Actually called a shell not a bullet
Thank you. Yes I had a few make me aware. Thank you for checking out my video and channel.
My uncles ship.
That’s amazing! Your Uncle served on the USS Massachusetts? I was overwhelmed just visiting it.
@@bobfiore8 yeah. He took me to three reunions and all over the ship even where the public couldn't go. He was the bosin's mait. Walter Gallagher.
Eric Ellert that is so cool! I can’t even imagine seeing those other areas as well as the stories of events he most have shared with you. I find that history so amazing!
@@bobfiore8 this was the late 70s before the refit. I imagine security is more intense. You used to be able to move the pom pom guns. The battle bridge was all rusted out. You could fool with the nobs on the 16 inch guns controls. We had seafood bisque, captains recipe at the dinner.

They were sailors not soldiers there is a difference.
Your right and I meant no disrespect. I learned allot that day and honestly I could go back and learn more and more with every visit.
Thank you for checking out my video and channel.
@@bobfiore8 no disrespect taken the Navy and the army consider each other rivals the Navy army games show that every year. I was just pointing out there's a difference they're sailors and then their soldiers.
I'm currently working on a small model of the USS Massachusetts with plans at some point to scratch build a 8ft remote-controlled model of her. As she appeared in 44.
I'm also planning on scratch building a 49-in remote-controlled model of the Joseph p Kennedy as she appeared in the late 60s.
Your lucky you live so close to these ships that you can visit them any time you wish
I also intend to build
People were not as big or fat back then as we are today. Always exceptions, but mostly they were way more physically fit than today's generation
I can’t argue with you on that. I blame Little Debbie.... well for my personal weight issues. But seriously nowadays, I can’t disagree. Thank you for checking out my video and channel!
@@bobfiore8 me and you have it out for lil Deb...lol..back in 89 when I was in the Navy I could negotiate the bulk heads with ease, not so easy today though myself. But, they design the holes in the ship as small as possible anyway so I think we are good as we get older!!
@@googleaccount6761 I was so amazed at the close quarters they had to live in for such long periods of time. Their waistlines may have been thinner but their patience has to be thick. I have allot of respect for that fact.
