Battleship New Jersey has a really good RUclips channel!
Definitely on my bucket list, lucky you to get to see such a beautiful ship!
Thank you very much for watching. Yes, it's one of my favorites. CUOTO
BB62 is a beasty! I want to try to get a dry dock tour to get underneath her.
Great to see you are on the Delaware River!
Thank you for watching Roger. Yes! They are selling tours on Saturday and Sundays. CUOTO
Our ship AOR-1 Wichita we re fueled the Jersey , this was after Her recommissioning , Thanks Regan for the 700 ship Navy. Life in the 80's . She is still Big and beautiful BB62. BZ to all who served and serving.
Thank you for watching Bill! CUOTO
New Jersey was at the Paulsboro Marine Terminal for its initial ballasting prior to going back upriver to the former Philadelphia Naval Ship Yard for underwater hull maintenance. In Museum configuration (no ammunition, fuel, stores, crew, or equipment) the bow rides about 9-10 ft higher than the stern, which is an issue when bringing an Iowa class into drydock. If too low at the stern, when the ship comes down on the drydock blocks, too much of the ship's weight is concentrated on the aft part of the keel and skegs, which could overstress that part of the ship's hull. As you mentioned at about 5:45 or so, they are receiving about 500,000 gallons (about 2,000 tons) of river water into the peak tanks (forward-most ballast tanks) to bring the ship down at the bow. As the bow goes down the stern goes up, and they estimated that the 2,000 tons would get them within 3.8 ft of flat trim, close enough to level that it won't overstress New Jersey's hull.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
I'm new to your channel as of 3 weeks ago. I really enjoy your upbeat, mild mannerism as you give us excellent insight & info! An old lady from Northern Michigan!!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel
CUOTO
Thanks Tim so cool the way you manoeuvre the tug and barge
Thank you very much for watching Peter. CUOTO
Hey Tim, love your videos. It’s great to get a look behind the scenes of how tugs work. Thanks!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. CUOTO
Nice seeing you on the Delaware! 🌞
Thank you very much for watching Samantha. CUOTO
Thx for the vid. Capt. Tim.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Nice job Captain.
Thank you very much. CUOTO
Way to Go NJ!
Thank you very much for watching Frank. CUOTO
A great way to start my morning, another great Tuesday video and 2 cups of coffee!
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Excellent video Good to see the battleship.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
jersy is a great ship I was on the sister Iowa a couple of years ago in LA pretty impressive too looks like you have good weather also stay saafe G.
Thank you very much for watching Garth. CUOTO
Great video Capt Tim especially seeing the Battle ship New Jersey in the background brought me back memories
Thank you so much
Big Cuotos
Can't wait to see another video of the chief 😂😂😂😂
Me Too!!! Thank you for watching Al. CUOTO
Crazy how much the internet connects people, I've been keeping up with the New Jersey for a while .
Had a feeling y'all would cross paths with her
😂😂😂😂 No one said anything for the past 13 years we've been driving by it in Camden. 😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Back in the day, radars on planes were so powerful that there was a warning not to have them on facing a fuel truck… otherwise… woof!!🔥
Great Video!! #CUOTO and the Chief on Two!!😂
Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channel Ian! CUOTO
You most likely already know this but ill point it out anyways. The best way to know how to line up the barge in its final position is to notice the bunker bar railing. Its the thicker handrail bar above the no7 Ch/tug push point on this vessel. It also usually has a small crane next to it to support the bunker hose. Tankers can be aft or amidships. Line up the base of the bunker barge crane with the bunker bar and 9 times out of 10 your right.
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Two big thumbs up.👍👍
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Great video as always CAPT!!!!!
Thank you very much for watching Shawn. CUOTO
$21 a day?! Thats nuts. Great channel captain. I grew up 3 blocks from the delaware river just south of eagle point across from the navy yard. Always watched the tugs and ships going up and down the waterway. Had hopes of working on a tug, but was told the seafarers union was tough to get in at the time. Which company are you with? Most of the time it was the maroon M tugs i watched (not to mention any names) lol
Thank you very much for watching and for respecting the rules. I work for the green stripe company with v on the stack. CUOTO
Interesting tidbit about putting ballist on USS New Jersey before drydock. To think no fuel ,no munitions, fresh water. Nightmare to get the ship in just the right spot Just seeing what you go through to get everything in line hard enough 😅
Thank you very much for watching Jim. CUOTO
Great video. Shows your expertise
Thank you very much Walter. CUOTO
A great show!, Always enjoy your videos..CUOTO
Thank you very much for James. I appreciate that. CUOTO
Hoping you would have a reason to transit past the USS New Jersey in Philadelphia shipyard.
Thank you very much for watching William. CUOTO
Ive heard they have moved the New Jersey over to the Philly side of the river to the Navy yard.
Thank you very much for watching. Yes they have and she's drying out right now. CUOTO
So that is why river tows have flanking rudders? To maneuver in reverse.
Yes. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
So your basically putting around the harbors and docks with a gas station for boats? Still trying to figure out the barges and what they do,
Thank you for watching Jason. Barges are a good choice for this type of work. You can drip one off and go to the next job. It may take 12 to 18 hours to Bunker a ship. CUOTO
Good video! 21 bucks a day. Sheesh! Even with mariners having no living expenses while onboard a ship, it's hard to see how anyone could get by on those wages.
Right? Thank you very much for watching Ralph. CUOTO
Well Capt. You just came within 3 miles of my home. Too bed your on a shift and couldn't come for a refreshment.😂😂😂
I would have loved that! Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Tim - thing with eyes is they have no nerves for heat, no blood flow for cooling, and if you heat them with radar (or a leaky microwave oven) they set like the white of an egg... To be avoided - never look into a radar waveguide (the pipes that carry the signal), nor look into the joint around a microwave door when it's on. Skin will often feel warm to warn you - eyes won't
Stay safe - the modern radars do indeed use less power and need less separation distance
Thank you for watching. Oh yes. Ours are way up above us. CUOTO
So cool to see the battleship in your vid, just watched another vid from Ryan this morning about his immense refit. Nice vid Tim. Greetings from Oz.
Video inception I wonder if he's filming as Capt. Tim is motoring past? Omg a news chopper camera, too? We are gonna have everything that happens on the whole earth recorded before too long!
😂😂😂 Thank you very much for watching
CUOTO
Thank you very much for watching JB. CUOTO
"Directional Control"..... never heard the phrase as related to boats but I see the Jet-Skiers often heading towards an object and they
cut the power which takes away their ability to steer. As long as they have some propulsion they can turn but it goes away when the
power is lessened or stopped. I know I'm using the wrong terms but I think the 2 are similar physics or Not? peace guys
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
My father was an airline pilot in the '70's. They pilots turned the radar off as soon as they landed. Fear of igniting a fuel truck or harm to personnel.
Yes sir! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
What don’t tugs like yours have bow and stern thrusters?
Thank you for watching David. No. We do not have bow or stern thrusters. CUOTO
Around the 12:30 mark you mentioned you couldn't understand why your stern was being pushed out.
Perhaps your bow was constricting the flood tide and causing the flood tide to accelerate between you and the ship.
In a previous video I asked why you didn't use the tide as a brake. You couldn't because of operational reasons. Goes to show ya how mercurial the best of manuevers are. 😅
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Evening Tim. Im guessing your out of Baltimore?
We never made it in. We were a few miles from the bridge when it came down. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
nice nice
Thank you very much for watching all these years. CUOTO
Tim, why is dead slow called clutch? Is there even a clutch? Thanks.. Mike
Thank you for watching Mike. The reverse gears have hydraulic clutches inside them. CUOTO
Is this a fuel ship your on?
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Jacob. I am on a Tugboat that pushes a barge with fuel in it. CUOTO
how do you cut lines in an emergency ?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel. We don't have emergencies. 😂 But if we had to cut a line under tension, we would use a fire Ax. CUOTO
Dr Sal seems like an interesting channel but he’s gotta fix the audio/ video not matching up thing
That's on me. He's far more professional than I am. 😂 Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Did I hear that right? $21.00 a day!
Thank you for watching William. Yes. That is correct. CUOTO
Did you say 21 dollars A DAY!?
That cant be legal!
The median per-capita household income of the whole world is only $2,920 per year. If you worked 5 days a week for 52 weeks, that's a whopping $11.38 per day. Ever wonder why you see so many foreign flagged ships? Here's just one of the reasons...
Thank you for watching Brian. That is correct. CUOTO
Do you dip your flag when passing that battleship?
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Peter. CUOTO
You said workers make $21.00 a day. Did you mean an hour?
Thank you for watching Jim. No. Sadly the IMO minimum day rate for Mariners is $21/day. CUOTO
I have said it already; loose the guy at the end. Dr Sal? Really.
Thank you for watching David. CUOTO
I see you guys are all over the place from NY to PA to NJ so im curious what income taxes do you guys have to pay?
Thank you very much for watching Michael. I'm curious if you ask other people where they pay their taxes. 😂 It's no secret, just thought it was a funny and personal question. But to answer your question, we, like airline pilots and truckdrivers are considered to be employed in interstate commerce. So we file in our home states. CUOTO
Sorry I didn't mean to ask personal questions I just got an offer to work in NYC harbor but I live in texas so I was curious how it works cause texas has no state income tax but NY is like 10% I think... I'm referring to the tax deduction in the paychecks btw I worded it wrong
@@michaeljohnson91501 be sure to say hi when you get here!
Hey Tim say hi to the one and only Ryan Szimanski 😂
And yeah I copy and pasted his name cause I'm not trying to spell it 😅
😂😂😂 I love that guy. Fantastic channel! Thank you for Watching. CUOTO
Any one that wants to dock any size vessel should be required 25 hours of time b a t sea minimum !!!
Thank you again for watching. The average Tugboat operator has had over 11,000 hours of training before he takes the wheel.

@@TimBatSea really ? 11k hrs. imagine a 6hour class when your 12 will certify u up to 65 ft ??? tonnage ...lol
I always thought that ships refueled from the docks they were alongside. It was your channel that showed me that they were refueled by barge. I knew those ocean going barges often carried over a million gallons of fuel. Doing research after your videos showed me that many modern vessels carry over a million gallons of fuel.
All true Larry. Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Too bad your boat didn't get contracted to move BB62. That would've made for some great content.
Right? Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
Much more $ but less dangerous than what they are doing out there
Thank you for watching John. Not sure I follow. CUOTO
Hi Captain Tim!
Just sayin: Dr. Sal is Mer-Cog-Lee-Ahh-No
CUOTO
You are so right! Thank you very much for watching and supporting the channel Mellissa. CUOTO
He's on deck trying to phone you.
Thank you for watching Stephen. CUOTO
Hi Tim!
Random question- what does CUOTO stand for?
Great content as always. Thanks!
Thank you for watching Mike. CUOTO
While the Jones Act affect on you as a mariner is of course near and dear to your heart for its effect on wage levels, the more pernicious problem of the Jones Act is what has you pushing fuel barges with a tug for bunkering instead of your being a captain on a harbor tanker, AKA bunker barge. As are used in most of the rest of the world.
US law has no jurisdiction over wages paid on foreign owned ships in intenational commerce, either picking up cargo in the US to deliver abroad or delivering cargo in the US from abroad, any more than US law could say anything about what foreign airlines pay their non-US employees for flights to the US. That has nothing to do with the Jones Act.
Thank you for watching. Although I think you may have kissed something. The Jones act isn't what keeps smaller tankers or what you are calling bunker barges out of US waters. It's manning requirements by the USCG. 😂 CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Tim, as I understand it there's a bit more to it. The Jones Act requires that any "goods" shipped from an American port to be delivered in the US must be carried on ships that are made in the US, owned by US persons, registered in the US, and crewed by American crews. US shipbuilding is a shadow of its former self and far more expensive than products made in the Far East and Europe. Barges, as with fuel or chemical barges, and tugboats are relatively easier to build than actual tanker ships. When a barge is loaded at a petroleum storage location and delivered to a ship docked in a US harbor, that's a US to US transaction falling under the Jones Act.
Just as an example, take a look at this article. The Jones Act is cited as a reason why for many recent years, gasoline imported by Puerto Rico came mostly from Eastern Europe and, for Jones Act cost reasons, not from the nearby US.

Oh yeah, Dr Sal…! that’s the old maritime professor from the SUNY Home For Unwed Fathers 🙄 CUOTO 🇺🇸⚓️
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you very very much for watching Dick. CUOTO
AB CREDENTIAL BUILDING??? I never see or hear ABs in your pilot house. When I tugged with Maritrans out of Philly in the early 90s, ABs who wanted to develop ship-handling skills and build pilotage were a pretty common sight at the helm. Does that not happen any more, do you choose not to do it??? How will ABs build skills and experience other-wise these days. Thanks for your good work
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel Will. Things sure have changed. It's very hard to get people to put their phones down nowadays. There are so few people wanting to get into this kind of work, companies now have to train them as an extra man to move them up. CUOTO
Is your phone ring that song from your "how to daNce the floor off" video?! Thanx capt. I'm gonna run a 24 velocity from ct river down to the statue of liberty this summer. Any hot spot while I'm down there? What would be the best time of the summer to go ?
Thank you for watching Mat. You really might want to plan your trip around the tide. If you do it right, you'll have a fair tide the entire way. You do it wrong, and it will be less fun. CUOTO
Never understood why some Tankerman get midship lines first with opposing tide ?? Get the bow line and ease back to your spot, so much easier, instead of chasing lines back n forth 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you for watching Robert. CUOTO
Heard that there was a move so that American port to American port didn't have to be crewed by Americans To go against the Jones Act When I tried to get to work on a salty back in the early 1970's the old Z card days was told there could be a long wait Due to so many non working seaman They suggested to try the lakers But, being from the southern area Don't like the cold And, being in a landlock state wanted to work on a ship Even though I did contact the IBU Tim, do you know if the Harry Lundenburgh School of Seamanship is still around? Is, that the Piney Point that is mentioned on many vids About the having a small merchant marine Heard from political and high ranking officers in the military That if we had the merchant marine in WW2 that we do now We would have lost the war Talking about the ocean ships Not the cool tugs :)
Thank you for watching. I agree with your last statement. But section 26 of the (jones act) hadn't changed much since the 1920s. Non American ships and crew can offload cargo in any US port. They just can not do interstate commerce (load in one UD port to bring to another US port). CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Tim what's the name of your tug? Or does it change
@@jamesHadden-l6l We only yave one rule. We try very hard not to directly name tugs companies or customers on here as it gets me in trouble with my employer. But watch a video or two, and you hear or see it "indirectly named". CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Thanks Tim I was thinking that could be it Was thinking I might be able to track your fun journeys on Marine Traffic :) I'm a person that wanted to be a merchant seaman But, never got the chance Like wanted to be on a river boat in Nam But was a 4f
I wish they permanently moved the battleship New Jersey from Camden
😂😂😂😂 I have to ask why? Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Are all of the tugboat captains jealous of McAllister for getting that job?
😂😂😂 I can't speak for everyone else, but we were busy doing our thing. 😂 Thank you very much for watching
CUOTO
Thanks again, Tim, I really appreciate what you're doing buddy #CUOTO and C U Next Tuesday!

The creek coming into the river there makes things weird sometimes.
Thank you very much for watching Aaron. CUOTO
@TimBatSea you are very welcome as fellow RUclips Dr. John Campbell says as he begins his daily healing videos 📹 .
3rd generation refinery river rat here.
My grandfather started at Paterson 0il, a refinery that was there where the Paulsboro P0rk, I mean Port is now.
It was put in as Presidolt ₩ilson was lying to us about not getting involved in ₩₩1.
They knew the new battleships to be built would burn oil not coal( like the Maine, {"Remember the Maine!" . . , 'who could forget" - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid}).
₩ilson got Senator Loudenslacker to arrange for the Army Corp of Engineers to straighten & deepen the Mantua Creek so bigger ships could navigate up the Creek to service a hand grenade factory being built about a mile up the creek.
That unnatural procedure made the creek fast and deadly as it drained such a big part of South Jersey all the way to Glassboro.
So according to tide and temperature enormous water masses rush in&out subrosa to interfere with what was normal river flow there.
I doubt whoever designed the new dock structures realize or account for that.
Just around the corner, the other refinery ( a Rockefeller Standard 0il, Mobil/ ExxonMobil now Paulsboro refinery) Clonmel creek was filled in to build the dock there.
In the early 2000's the creek sought revenge and washed out one of the docks built over what was it's mouth a century ago.
"Don't mess with Mother Nature", she can wait a 100 years to get revenge!
Tankerman has a list 🙃
Thank you for watching Robert. CUOTO
Thank you for another great video. CUOTO !
Thank you very much for watching Steven. CUOTO
just curious since you mention the danger of getting under the ship rake many times. Would it ever make sense to tie up in reverse?
I was thinking that too.
Let's see what Tim comes up with.
My money is on having better control while facing the tide, due to the rudder not doing much at all when in reverse.
Thank you very much for watching. We usually orientate the barge the way the tankerman prefers the particular job. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea I take it that the barge is your actual customer, and the customer is always right... within reason.
@@2020HotShotTruckingLLC Thank you very much for watching. Almost. The tug and barge are the same company. But I like to keep the tankermen happy. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea OK, and technically your "customer" is anyone you provide goods or services to, even if they are parts of the same company. You are 1000% correct in trying to keep them happy!
All's well on the river capin Tim.😅
Thank you for watching Randall. CUOTO
👍✅👏making it look easy Tim 😎
Thank you very much for watching. CUOTO
When I see ships like that, I wonder what it was like living during that time on those ships. The adventure, the hardship and the camaraderie of the sailors I think I was just born the wrong time I would’ve loved even during the war the experience even the danger makes it more thrilling.
Thank you very much for watching. If you haven't checked them out yet, I am sure you would like the channels by the Battleship New Jersey and the submarine Cod. You will hear all about life aboard then. CUOTO
Was hoping you'd run across the best of the Iowa class Battleships... Have a nice piece of the teak from her deck on my shelf. Got it on an overnight trip with my son, it came with a note explaining how in wooden ship eras it was a custom to take a piece after a good voyage to carry the luck forward. Walked out to find my car was parked in Camden overnight with my passenger window down all the way yet nothing was stolen. Figure that's worth some luck...
Wow! You should have played the lottery that night! 😂 Thank you very much for watching Alex. CUOTO
