"Hi, Im Ryan Szimanski, curator of Battleship New Jersey active navy battleship and today we are going to be defending Norway from a soviet invasion force...."
Battleship New Jersey receives operating support from the New Jersey Department of state, a number of businesses and private individuals. Must visit, if you are in the area, imho a much more immersive museum than Intrepid.
I visited New Jersey and the Olympic (Admiral Dewey's flagship for the battle of Manila Bay) which is across the river. Both are very worthwhile to visit. Turret 2 is open in the back, so you can see the three guns and also look through the periscope, etc. Ship is in very good shape and absolutely worth the time to tour. The only thing that is a shame is none of the Iowa's have their Admirals spaces left since they were taken over for the CIC. Great vid as usual Wolf. Thanks.

Hi, former Gunners' Mate Missiles on USS Farragut (DDG-37). The superstructure is inaccurate. Forward of the bridge, just after of the ASROC launcher, she was the only ship of her class to have a ASROC reload magazine. Besides that, looks great to see the old girl steaming along again.

I was on the USS Tattnall DDG-19 The Adam class also had reloads for ASROC,. And we knew when "special weapons" were loaded as this was the only time a guard was kept on the ASROC
Yeah, they took the time to make it so that all the ships have the right hull numbers and names, but other than that they didn’t model structural differences in sister ships. New Jersey is also inaccurate in the superstructure

So.. an _Iowa_ would have had a challenge getting close enough to smash it with those monster 16 inch guns that only had a 24 mile range.
This looks like a consummate improvement over Cold Waters, very nice! Your video on USS Baltimore yesterday piqued my interest - up to now I had figured Sea Power would be more of an RTS than the you-against-the-world feeling Cold Waters has, and it definitely looks like it CAN be that way with everything in this video and the 'indirect' commands you were issuing to Baltimore yesterday. However, it looks like it still has the potential to be a good one-on-one, direct control fight too, which is very cool! Not to mention all the interface improvements, the much-needed clarification on TMA, all that stuff, I'm much more interested in Sea Power now than I was two days ago.
Can you imagine the rage the Soviet top admiral is going to be in when he finds out that not only did his naval intelligence chief lose track of "The Black Dragon" but it showed up behind a landing force as it was sending troops ashore?
it's a little bonkers that Jersey was serving in the times of stadimeters and stopwatches, now launching radar guided missiles at ships over the horizon
The Jersey used to launch car sized bits of angry well beyond the normal horizon … utilising radar, IIRC, amongst other things to get the accurate speed of the departing angry.
These battleships might have been some of the few ships afloat that could handle anti ship missles. Their armor scheme is insane. Basically the entire ship is spaced armor designed to defeat plunging fire.
@@15nyonker Still, multiple ASMs would absolutely put any battleship below the waves, because dive bombs have similar warhead size and have definitely killed BBs before.
@@orangejuche Oh absolutely. No ship is unsinkable. I simply mean that between that original armor, redundant systems, and the modern defenses put on her, in this time period the Iowa might be the most survivable ship afloat. One hit isn’t going to sink her unless it hits perfectly, which has happened historically of course.
One of the things I’m hoping to see in mods are older meme ships like a retrofitted Texas lol. I’m still hoping we get the Yavuz at some point as she fits in the era just barely
I think there was originally 3 missle boats but your first wave of missles only hit two allowing the third to close the distance and get revenge on the Texas. It only makes sense to have a group of three as we saw the group of three minesweepers so that is the most likely reason on how the Texas went down.
Missiles flying through all that flak might be the best looking/sounding thing i've seen in a naval game. It's crazy how similar this game is to cold waters mods yet so much better!
This game looks so amazing! First, the tension keeps building up, radar contacts come and go, and you need to identify whether they are friendly, hostile, or neutral. Time must be used wisely, just like in chess, to position your own assets. Then, suddenly, the action kicks in, and you have a few frantic minutes where you have to make tactical decisions without pause. How many missiles can I fire at the enemy to hit the target without overkill? How many targets have I yet to detect? Do I need to broadside to make optimal use of my CIWS? Simply a brilliant game. Thanks to all the youtubers that give us a sneak peek into this masterpiece :D
Seeing a Virginia class nuclear cruiser in here makes me so happy, I love the appearance of nuclear cruisers, considering how much they are forgotten about, love it
If World of Warships isn't gonna give The Black Dragon its due, then Sea Power sure as hell will. Also, love that 80's synth / Naval hymns / Red October type soundtrack the game has.
I used to run tournaments on the US Navy's wargame software called NAVTAG. I saw a coast guard officer pull a BRILLIANT move. He has a rough idea where the enemy was and he fired off a Harpoon missile with instructions not to turn its seeker radar on until 55 miles out from launch. He immediately turned 90 degrees and steamed at flank speed. When the Harpoons radar went off the Opfor commander panicked and turned on all his radars and fired weapons on a bearing only launch back down the path the Harpoon came from. He wound up giving away his position and it was all over at that point. The Coast Guard Officer mass volley fired his ASM's from his new position at the known target, taking them out.
My grandfather served on the Big J during Korea. He helped restore her in NJ before she had pier. He took me there and showed me the off limits space after she was in full glory. He passed in 2009 but I hope there are people there who remember him. During his time on board and stole a 5" shell and cut of the bottom 4 inches. It was his pipe ashtray from then on. It site behind my desk with his pipe in his honor.
I've toured the Iowa, Wisconsin and New Jersey. If you have to go on one, I think the New Jersey is the most preserved. They let you go down to forward plot and pull the triggers on the big guns.
@@ericstearns170 it's actually wisconsin who was still on the active register until 2006. Iowa is next in line as she was still on the register until 2003. It's weird but Mo is still very well preserved either way.
@@timber_wulf5775 yeah, Mighty Mo might be a museum, but is one of the best kept museum ships ever. She could,.conceivably put to sea. She won't, and she's been an active museum for far longer than she should have, but something about signing the Japanese WW2 surrender on her bow makes her special for some reason. Lol
One thing I noticed is this scenario is set in 1978 but the New Jersey refit would not have been completed until years later. And the Tomahawk did not enter service until 1983

I was at her Camden dock as she returned from refurbishment at the Philadelphia Navy Yard,a magnificent sight as she hove into view while coming around the bend…a true leviathan
Hi, I wrote a reply to one of your previous videos. I have a compliment, a request, and one mistake I to report.. First I am a former active United States Navy. I was medically retired in 2014 after my 5th major injured. The first part of my career I was an STG (Sonar Technician Surface) and initially served onboard USS Comte de Grasse DD-974 (a Spruance) and USS Henry B. Wilson DDG-7 (a Adams class). Later I also served on a Perry Class Frigate and then Burke class DDG's. First the compliment. Even now the attention to detail is outstanding. From the actions to even the discharge smoke puff after firing one of the main guns, well done. The ships look superb in details as does the water especially the wake. Visually in this build, the only critique would be that BB's blast when the guns are fired is a bit short and lacking in fire type detail but I assume that will be updated and tweaked as you get closer to release. Same goes for the missile trails. Next, the request - IF you are able, I would love to see the ships I served on included in the game. If you have already, then I thank you for that! If not and it is possible, I would love to see that not just for me but as a tribute to the ships and personnel that served on any of them! Finally, the mistake.. NOTE: This is information only as I understand you may not be able to use actual sonar unless you can find a recording or similar for what you need. I mention that in this comment in a bit more detail and why. Anyhow, you said the ship the Farragut went after was still using its sonar. That sonar ping was not russian, it sounded like an straight OMNI non reverb ping from an SQS-26B/BX or SQS-53B/C system (without the return, frequency shifts or background water and harmonics) which was US only at that time and only found on the CGN's like Texas (using the 26BX) still in service then, Spruance class DD (53B), the Kidd class DDG (53B) and the Ticonderoga class CG (first flight using 53B). The Farragut would be using the SQQ/SQS 23 Pair. BB's had no sonar. The Cruiser, Texas would be using an SQS-26B/BX sonar system, the precursor to the SQS - 53B. The SQS 26 would be a match to that sonar sound we hear in this video. russian sonar has a very different signal and sound. Depending on their ship, they had a various number of different sonar sounds and systems. Today, one of the primary systems in the US Navy, is the SQS- 53C that is in use and it can do all the bravo series does plus some other stuff that is classified. I know it is hard to find sound that depicts what real sonar actually sounds like online thus there are very few recordings out there for most systems and the ones that you can find, are mainly a base ping OMNI default mode. This is due to something I first mentioned - most actual sonars and the pulse, the frequencies and modes are highly classified and not public release from all navies world wide. Again that was information only as I am not sure what resources you have to find or come up with russian and other navy sonar sounds for this era. Regardless, awesome job on this Simulation. I have waited a long time for someone to do something at this level and with detail and from what I have seen so far, you have nailed it better than expected! I cannot wait to get my hands on your work and try it for real.. and of course really give you feedback! LOL ;-)
The detail is pretty amazing. The guns recoil, the puffs of smoke from the bore evacuators, the pressure wave effect on the water. Even the SM launchers on the Texas and Farragut reloading was pretty cool. Nice to see the missiles don't just teleport into the launcher.
I served as a gunners mate in 16 inch turret one on the USS Iowa in 1989. I can't wait for this game to play scenarios like this as a what if I could have had the opportunity to do what I was trained for!!!!!
Those tracers and detonations in the dark are bloody gorgeous! I'm very new to computer wargames, especially naval simulation like this, but I'm thinking I might have to deep dive into them to get used to how they play before this comes out.
I met Peter Fiedler the first captain of the Missile Cruiser Texas at an Airport in Frankfurt super cool to see her in action unfortunate that missile slipped through. :D
Looks like an amazing simulator/game. You can appreciate all the details the developers have included, and the animations are incredible. this game is on my Steam wishlist.
"Somehow...." Loving these, Wolfpack. Cold Waters and the WW2 naval game (I forget the name) didn't quite do it for me, but this one is looking really good. EDIT: just a stupid autocorrect mistake
This game looks really solid. Looking forward to it's release. And maybe i should've started with this: your videos are great. Enjoyed the U-Boat ones a lot too.
Hey Wolfpack, loved this vid. It was definitely intense! Would you be able to repeat this scenario again, but give the Big J a typical battle group she would have been in IRL? I want to see just how impenetrable a properly setup AEGIS bubble is. Thx!
You can't use TLAMs against ships, the block 5 unit wasn't invented yet in this timeline.. TLAM stands for Tomahawk Land Attack missile. You only should be able to use Harpoons and guns against ships.
It isn't actually new jersey. She had a unique mounting system for EW system from her vietmam activation.. looked closer to square in her upper superstructure. The other three are as you see here. Also .. the guns have to be lowered to I think it's somewhere between 5 and 15 degrees to be loaded. But thrn they pop back up to the directed elevation.
The look and sound of the chaff, missiles, CIWS, air bursts... all are stunning. The exchange of fire is the most cinematic thing I've seen outside of film. DCS has some solid modelling of these systems, but nothing as near visually and audibly as impressive as this.
Very cool! The engagement with the missile boats was quite intense and I'm honestly surprised that the Texas managed to survive it even if she did get hit later. I do hope that they add the Des Moines-class at some point since the Newport News was in service until 1975 and it would be nice to have a US gun cruiser to go with the Soviet Sverdlov-class even if the Des Moines outguns the Sverdlov quite handily.
Awesome video, sucks we lost the Texas. Only thing that sucks about RUclips videos, anything shown at night, is hard to see what is happening. Oh, Well, still cool, looking forward to the next one!!!
An awesome showcase of epic ship on ship action. Also, going to be very interesting to see a major naval engagement with a surface group with the Iowa battleships, and a Soviet naval group with Kirov battlecruisers facing off.

Missiles flying through all that flak might be the best looking/sounding thing i've seen in a naval game. It's crazy how similar this game is to cold waters mods yet so much better!
This game looks so amazing!
First, the tension keeps building up, radar contacts come and go, and you need to identify whether they are friendly, hostile, or neutral. Time must be used wisely, just like in chess, to position your own assets. Then, suddenly, the action kicks in, and you have a few frantic minutes where you have to make tactical decisions without pause. How many missiles can I fire at the enemy to hit the target without overkill? How many targets have I yet to detect? Do I need to broadside to make optimal use of my CIWS? Simply a brilliant game.
Thanks to all the youtubers that give us a sneak peek into this masterpiece :D
Seeing a Virginia class nuclear cruiser in here makes me so happy, I love the appearance of nuclear cruisers, considering how much they are forgotten about, love it
That’s why the sign says, “Don’t mess with Texas.”Greetings from Texas Wolf!
Just did my graduation this past weekend on the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk
Danke! I love ur content. its like watching a movie.
If World of Warships isn't gonna give The Black Dragon its due, then Sea Power sure as hell will. Also, love that 80's synth / Naval hymns / Red October type soundtrack the game has.
AN IOWA. I can't get this excited this early in the day stop it.
When I saw the name Texas, I initially thought it was the Battleship Texas, and was about the get really confused, yet excited.
I used to run tournaments on the US Navy's wargame software called NAVTAG. I saw a coast guard officer pull a BRILLIANT move. He has a rough idea where the enemy was and he fired off a Harpoon missile with instructions not to turn its seeker radar on until 55 miles out from launch. He immediately turned 90 degrees and steamed at flank speed. When the Harpoons radar went off the Opfor commander panicked and turned on all his radars and fired weapons on a bearing only launch back down the path the Harpoon came from. He wound up giving away his position and it was all over at that point. The Coast Guard Officer mass volley fired his ASM's from his new position at the known target, taking them out.
My grandfather served on the Big J during Korea. He helped restore her in NJ before she had pier. He took me there and showed me the off limits space after she was in full glory. He passed in 2009 but I hope there are people there who remember him. During his time on board and stole a 5" shell and cut of the bottom 4 inches. It was his pipe ashtray from then on. It site behind my desk with his pipe in his honor.
I've toured the Iowa, Wisconsin and New Jersey. If you have to go on one, I think the New Jersey is the most preserved. They let you go down to forward plot and pull the triggers on the big guns.
Haha funny, I have only been on Iowa, Wisconsin
I beleive the USS Missouri is the most well preserved.
@@ericstearns170 it's actually wisconsin who was still on the active register until 2006. Iowa is next in line as she was still on the register until 2003. It's weird but Mo is still very well preserved either way.
@@timber_wulf5775 yeah, Mighty Mo might be a museum, but is one of the best kept museum ships ever. She could,.conceivably put to sea. She won't, and she's been an active museum for far longer than she should have, but something about signing the Japanese WW2 surrender on her bow makes her special for some reason. Lol
Been to those three and I agree.
North Carolina is another very good museum, as was Texas when I saw here 8 years ago
The barrels on the Mk7s need to be modeled to depress to 5* for reloading. Looks pretty fun though.
I noticed that right away, Big J's guns didn't lower for reloading. It would be nice if they fix that little detail.
12:33
that flak fire looks AMAZING!! I I wish flak looked like this in War on the Sea
this game looks incredible. november is so far away
Thank you for defending my country!
That was awesome!
Naval combat in the missile age. Iowa class 16 inch guns entered the conversation.
One thing I noticed is this scenario is set in 1978 but the New Jersey refit would not have been completed until years later. And the Tomahawk did not enter service until 1983
My father was a vietnam vet...we live in pa nd ill never forget him takin me nd my cousins to see Battleship new jersey....miss u Dad R.i.p...glad to see New jersey gettin some love....usually big Mo nd iowa are the ones u hear about
16:53 This right here is a true Black Dragon moment!
Grew up in the 70s and 80s and built plenty of models. New Jersey and Arizona had pride of place on my shelves
I was at her Camden dock as she returned from refurbishment at the Philadelphia Navy Yard,a magnificent sight as she hove into view while coming around the bend…a true leviathan
You know its a good evening when wolfpack just posted!!!
o7 for the Texas. She put up a hell of a fight. Shame her radar was off when the other missiles were heading for her.
Hi, I wrote a reply to one of your previous videos. I have a compliment, a request, and one mistake I to report.. First I am a former active United States Navy. I was medically retired in 2014 after my 5th major injured. The first part of my career I was an STG (Sonar Technician Surface) and initially served onboard USS Comte de Grasse DD-974 (a Spruance) and USS Henry B. Wilson DDG-7 (a Adams class). Later I also served on a Perry Class Frigate and then Burke class DDG's.
First the compliment. Even now the attention to detail is outstanding. From the actions to even the discharge smoke puff after firing one of the main guns, well done. The ships look superb in details as does the water especially the wake. Visually in this build, the only critique would be that BB's blast when the guns are fired is a bit short and lacking in fire type detail but I assume that will be updated and tweaked as you get closer to release. Same goes for the missile trails.
Next, the request - IF you are able, I would love to see the ships I served on included in the game. If you have already, then I thank you for that! If not and it is possible, I would love to see that not just for me but as a tribute to the ships and personnel that served on any of them!
Finally, the mistake.. NOTE: This is information only as I understand you may not be able to use actual sonar unless you can find a recording or similar for what you need. I mention that in this comment in a bit more detail and why.
Anyhow, you said the ship the Farragut went after was still using its sonar. That sonar ping was not russian, it sounded like an straight OMNI non reverb ping from an SQS-26B/BX or SQS-53B/C system (without the return, frequency shifts or background water and harmonics) which was US only at that time and only found on the CGN's like Texas (using the 26BX) still in service then, Spruance class DD (53B), the Kidd class DDG (53B) and the Ticonderoga class CG (first flight using 53B). The Farragut would be using the SQQ/SQS 23 Pair. BB's had no sonar.
The Cruiser, Texas would be using an SQS-26B/BX sonar system, the precursor to the SQS - 53B. The SQS 26 would be a match to that sonar sound we hear in this video. russian sonar has a very different signal and sound. Depending on their ship, they had a various number of different sonar sounds and systems.
Today, one of the primary systems in the US Navy, is the SQS- 53C that is in use and it can do all the bravo series does plus some other stuff that is classified. I know it is hard to find sound that depicts what real sonar actually sounds like online thus there are very few recordings out there for most systems and the ones that you can find, are mainly a base ping OMNI default mode. This is due to something I first mentioned - most actual sonars and the pulse, the frequencies and modes are highly classified and not public release from all navies world wide.
Again that was information only as I am not sure what resources you have to find or come up with russian and other navy sonar sounds for this era.
Regardless, awesome job on this Simulation. I have waited a long time for someone to do something at this level and with detail and from what I have seen so far, you have nailed it better than expected! I cannot wait to get my hands on your work and try it for real.. and of course really give you feedback! LOL ;-)
Man, this game is a beauty. Looking forward to create some screenshots
The detail is pretty amazing. The guns recoil, the puffs of smoke from the bore evacuators, the pressure wave effect on the water. Even the SM launchers on the Texas and Farragut reloading was pretty cool. Nice to see the missiles don't just teleport into the launcher.
I'd definitely give a pucker factor out of ten to the first incoming missile volley
Great video !
Awesome stuff!
Holy heck, this is good stuff. Loving your videos man, cheers from Norway. Thank you for defending us :)
I identified all the ship classes from memory even after not looking at cold war ships since I lost my reference books in 2019. I still got it.
Loving the burst of naval content
I'm digging the Sea Power videos - watching them all : )
Been waiting on a battleship engagement..thanks!!!!!!!!
You had me at "Iowa class..." :D
Beautiful way of splitting in some short cinematic takes of ships into gameplay! Seems you had fun with mission editor!
Sweet, really wanted to see the Iowa class in action, specifically New Jersey. Who knew wolfie could read minds eh? :D
DDG’s God bless em. I served on HMAS Hobart (39) in the 90’s what a ship she was, best I served on.
15:12 life rafts in the water! such attention to detail
That was sooo cool! And that old video/camera effect? Chef´s kiss! 🙂
I like how one can use the big guns like NJ and also the missiles. Its a nice blend of all assets.
I served as a gunners mate in 16 inch turret one on the USS Iowa in 1989. I can't wait for this game to play scenarios like this as a what if I could have had the opportunity to do what I was trained for!!!!!
What a fantastic game. Make sure you play more of this. 😀
Those tracers and detonations in the dark are bloody gorgeous! I'm very new to computer wargames, especially naval simulation like this, but I'm thinking I might have to deep dive into them to get used to how they play before this comes out.
Very cinematic. Your ships engaging those missiles off in the distance and then very shortly, not so far in the distance. Definite purchase for me.
I met Peter Fiedler the first captain of the Missile Cruiser Texas at an Airport in Frankfurt super cool to see her in action unfortunate that missile slipped through. :D
Looks like an amazing simulator/game. You can appreciate all the details the developers have included, and the animations are incredible. this game is on my Steam wishlist.
This game is beautiful the shots of the NJ shooting in the distance *chefs kiss*
"Somehow...." Loving these, Wolfpack. Cold Waters and the WW2 naval game (I forget the name) didn't quite do it for me, but this one is looking really good.
EDIT: just a stupid autocorrect mistake
This game looks really solid. Looking forward to it's release. And maybe i should've started with this: your videos are great. Enjoyed the U-Boat ones a lot too.
USS New Jersey (BB-62) was here because of her 16 inch guns, wasn't she? Everybody likes a good light show💪🔥💥
Hey Wolfpack, loved this vid. It was definitely intense!
Would you be able to repeat this scenario again, but give the Big J a typical battle group she would have been in IRL? I want to see just how impenetrable a properly setup AEGIS bubble is.
Thx!
The shockwave on the water as the New Jersey fired her 16-inchers is great attention to detail by the developers.
Love your videos - the developer has to be pleased in how you present the possibilities of this sim! Good work!
USS New Jersey, my grandfathers ship. Always worth a visit across the Delaware from Philadelphia
This new sim is very encouraging , hope you'll keep the shows coming Wolf !!
Farragut going all "Damn the SSMs, full speed ahead."
Looking good! It has been on my wishlist ,like, forever. :)
You can't use TLAMs against ships, the block 5 unit wasn't invented yet in this timeline.. TLAM stands for Tomahawk Land Attack missile. You only should be able to use Harpoons and guns against ships.
TASM was in service.
00:49 that shot looks magnificent. I can’t wait to play this freaking game
The fact that no SAM's were put on NJ kind of blows my mind
It isn't actually new jersey. She had a unique mounting system for EW system from her vietmam activation.. looked closer to square in her upper superstructure. The other three are as you see here. Also .. the guns have to be lowered to I think it's somewhere between 5 and 15 degrees to be loaded. But thrn they pop back up to the directed elevation.
So glad this game is getting more attention. It’s been on my wishlist since last year
Beautiful game. Those engagements were just incredible. This is what I wanted back in the 1990s paying Harpoon on my MacBook.
You make very cool videos. Very entertaining! Keep up the good work!
The look and sound of the chaff, missiles, CIWS, air bursts... all are stunning. The exchange of fire is the most cinematic thing I've seen outside of film. DCS has some solid modelling of these systems, but nothing as near visually and audibly as impressive as this.
Fascinating game, please do more of this. Looking forward to more content like this.
Dam, That Virginia class looked good surviving the siren swarm attack.
Very cool! The engagement with the missile boats was quite intense and I'm honestly surprised that the Texas managed to survive it even if she did get hit later. I do hope that they add the Des Moines-class at some point since the Newport News was in service until 1975 and it would be nice to have a US gun cruiser to go with the Soviet Sverdlov-class even if the Des Moines outguns the Sverdlov quite handily.
I guess the real question is what standard missle the faragut and texas are armed with? Because if they are SM-3s, you have anti icbm capabilities
Awesome video, sucks we lost the Texas. Only thing that sucks about RUclips videos, anything shown at night, is hard to see what is happening.
Oh, Well, still cool, looking forward to the next one!!!
Dude! That was intense!!
That first salvo had me sweating! Man, I am pumped for this game!
The animations in this game are absolutely amazing
Agreed!
Just glorious! The big 16s in action!
I've been on the USS New Jersey, she's a beast. As soon as I saw the title, I clicked haha it was reflex
An awesome showcase of epic ship on ship action.
Also, going to be very interesting to see a major naval engagement with a surface group with the Iowa battleships, and a Soviet naval group with Kirov battlecruisers facing off.
