I worked at the shipyard that built the U.S.S. New York. It was quite an honor to have a small part in her construction. I never got to go aboard though, I left the shipyard when she was only about a quarter of the way built, and still a year or so from launching. Thank you for this video tour, the ship is a great memorial to those lost, and I'm gad to see that her crew takes it so seriously.
I worked on it for about a year as a welder right up until the Navy moved on board and it was such an honor to work on it. I am proud that I'm able to say that I helped build that ship. I am proud of all the Navy ships I help build but this one was definitely my favorite for so many reasons
Want too know why the US has the Best Military in the World. Right here. Professionalism,Safety and Top of the line Engineering and Production systems. These ships bristle with the Best of the Best and it shows. Very Well Done. Outstanding!
Its because US military spends ridiculously more than everyone else. Americas military is no more professional than any other military, and in terms of engineering and quality militarys like the French, British, German, Swedish, Russian and Chinese are just as good, infact I would probably rate the germans the sweds and the British engineering as the best. America builds quality across the board but i think these days America seems to lack outside the box type thinking and engineering. Being at the top for a long time can do that. I think the British are the best at shipping and designing new technologies, the germans are best at tanks and comming up with outside the box ideas, the sweds are best at small arms and designing aircraft, and nowerdays the Chinese are best at reverse engineering (just as important) and mass production. The Chinese can now pump out a higher output of new shipping than what America managed during its peak in ww2, incredibly impressive!
@@joelhungerford8388 We spend ridiculously more because most other countries don’t and we know they, by habit, will come begging and screaming for our help. Regarding China, you are correct about their unrivaled talent for reverse engineering but doing so indicates a very low level of ingenuity. I hope that helps your perspective.
The USS New York was stationed here at Mayport, FL. Our group of friends would go play golf on the weekend at Mayport. The NY stood out in several places on the course. It was always great to see the ships from the base golf course. Shalom
I had no idea what this purpose of this ship was, but looking at it in this video, it is one giant floating warehouse/garage. You could store every type of military vehicle on it, land vehicles, rotor-wing aircraft, shore landing crafts, boats, whatever else. It seems like the ultimate utility ship for all missions.
These tours are absolutely amazing. What fascinates me is the engineering that goes into these ships, even the door hinges!! And look how clean it is all kept.
BB-34 is essentially the "forgotten" big sister of USS Texas (BB-35), pretty much similar to the situation with HMS Queen Elizabeth: a lead ship overshadowed by the younger sibling, in the HMS Queen Elizabeth's case, she was overshadowed by HMS Warspite.
Just came across these Joel, thanks for taking the time to produce a video! Really cool to see a sliver of what we keep in service. Major kudos to the NAVY, I've always had an immense appreciation for our military coming from a military family. As a career firefighter I swelled with even more appreciation seeing the continued dedications to FDNY members.
How cool. I visited the USS New York during Fleet Week in NYC many years ago, but I didn’t get the personal in-depth tour you received. This was the only active ship I’ve ever been on. All the rest have been museum ships. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you again young man, terrific video. Thank you to the young lady who gave the tour aboard the USS New York. In honor of those Patriots and your effort I will donate to the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. I believe it's the best way to say thank you for their service.
I get the vibe that submariners are way more laid back than surface sailors. The submarine commander was like, "yeah let me show you this awesome room" while the officer here was like, "nope can't go in there that's where all the gossip goes down."
Good job on the video. I ate one of my best steaks on a destroyer maybe 50 years ago on a private tour. They took us out on a short cruise and fired their 5 inch gun if I remember correctly
Thanks Joe, loved this and the sub one you did. I noticed you blanked something out when you went to the wheel house of the New York, that intrigued me what it was???
it was the control panel that allows warp speed travel...still very very top secret...hush hush stuff...only 3 people alive knows about it... JK I'm sure he caught something on the right angle, that wasn't allowed.
A commenter said, "Tour guide seemed a little nervous but did a good job anyway." I agree. She was a bit robotic like she was giving a safety briefing on a Disney ride...lol. She did well though and I thank her kindly for her service!
I was stationed on a destroyer in San Diego from 83-87 and it was awesome. We went from Alaska to Australia on various deployments. It was a great experience!
@@ARWest-bp4yb I was looking at some satellite pics earlier. RTC San Diego is now a public park. NTC across the bridge appears to now be a home for a rather large collection of little boutique shops. USS NEVERSAIL still sits on what was the NTC side of the bridge. Most of the businesses a few blocks down Rosencrans from NTC now appear to be places which you could actually consider taking your children to. Our beloved collection of strip joints, camera salesmen, and tattoo parlors seem to have left when the Navy did. The area around 32nd Street still looks much the same. Pretty sure that handing a bouncer your ID with a $20 folded up under it in that neighborhood will still cause vision issues while reading birthdates...not that being under 21 has been a concern for me for about 35 years now. They might actually let me back into a few of those bars now. I did Boot and IC School in San Diego, then headed off to the USS Kansas City (AOR-3) out of NSC Oakland for the rest of my '87-'90 Active Duty hitch, followed by 3 years in the Reserves. Left the ship as an IC3 and Reserves as an IC2.
The broadway reminds me of the iowa class battleship that has a broadway as well, also great way to remember those lost in 9/11 im in 🇨🇦 and remember seeing the WTC on fire
The USS New York was built right across the Mississippi River from where I was born and raised My next door neighbor worked on the design of the vessel!
It's called a "ladder well" because not all that many years ago, those were literally ladders, that basically run through spaces that look a whole like like a well shaft. There are no stairs on U.S. Navy vessels or even shore bases.
Yes typically the tours are just normal duty section crew members who are usually volunteers. We get better over time, and we only really do tours during fleet weeks which if you are lucky your ship goes to once every few years.
What you missed was noting the pressure differential on a lot of those hatches. They run a slight positive pressure on the ship's interior. Keeps the A/C in and the heat/humidity/pollution out. The gal giving the tour was NOT an officer. She was a Chief Petty Officer. an E-7.
That large piece of steel does NOT have all the dead responders departments on it. There is no mention of the New York Fire Patrol, which was not part of the FDNY. They lost Fire Patrolman Keith Roma on 9/11. He is always forgotten, despite the fact he is credited with saving over 200 lives.
25:05 - well now we all know how to navigate the ship if I one of us ever needs to infiltrate one like Solid Snake did for the short sequence we were allowed to play as the actual protagonist during Sons of Liberty.
Such a shame she didn't give you a tour of the Ship Store! That's where our sanity and moral is maintained through energy drinks, Hot Cheetos, and nicotine.
What is it with today’s Military? I see alot if Fat Chicks nowadays in the military. When I was in “The early 80’s” there was a weight limit for everyone. I guess they relaxed a lot of rules to get people to join. But that Woman Swabbie would not have been able to serve or if she got chunky like that they would give her so long to loose the pounds if not they would have discharged her.
I think if I had it to do over again I'd join the Navy and try to get on a ship like this one, a "non combative" combat ship. Not as "cool" as nuclear sub, but more like a cruise ship that does military stuff.
That was a safe bet on your part as you probably would've gotten your ass kicked. I've never met an AF guy and been impressed - next time join a real service.
With all due respect, awesome video, and an awesome tour, but some of these service members need to work out a bit more. I am blown away that some of them are not meeting physical requirements.
Bruh navy has the lowest requirement when it's comes to physical and academic, they literally changed their asvab requirements to 10 join the navy... asvab 31 was always requirements to even qualify for any branch....don't even ask about their physical
Not going to lie, all the 9/11 shrines seems a bit much. I understand a few, but once you start including a guitar from a guy that shit his pants to get out of the draft, it's too much at that point.

That last shot of the F22 Raptor looked unreal !!
My fathers entire Navy career was spent on Aircraft Carrier's. This tour was really awesome and I thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I work in Oakland Park and see them doing their maneuvers whenever there's an airshow. The F22 is my favorite fighter jet!
I’m old so my favorite is the F-4E Phantom II. lol
These tours are absolutely amazing. What fascinates me is the engineering that goes into these ships, even the door hinges!! And look how clean it is all kept.
Fantastic. UK ships have very limited access, typically hanger and bridge. Loved this tour, great work.
Awesome ship to bear the name. Everyone should learn about the BB-34 USS New York, which was laid down 9/11/1911
She served in both World Wars.
BB-34 is essentially the "forgotten" big sister of USS Texas (BB-35), pretty much similar to the situation with HMS Queen Elizabeth: a lead ship overshadowed by the younger sibling, in the HMS Queen Elizabeth's case, she was overshadowed by HMS Warspite.

That brought back lots of memories of my Navy days, thanks for sharing Joel. Glad you enjoyed it!👍👍
Glad to see my old ship looking good!
Thank you and god bless you, and all the man & woman in the armed sevices
Really cool video man great job 👏🏻 I had fun watching this and your submarine video. That F22 Raptor was the cherry on top lol
You do such a great job with your videos! This was so cool
Thank you!
Thank you! Our story must be remembered

Guess StarWars is beloved everywhere. Great videos.
Awesome video. Loved the tour. Thanks for sharing the video.
YATYAS. Former operator / crewchief of an AAVP7A1 here. I was in the 1st Marine Division out of Camp Pendleton, CA
Always wondered where all the steel went from the towers, at least now I know where some of it went.
Good job on the video. I ate one of my best steaks on a destroyer maybe 50 years ago on a private tour.

Thanks Joe, loved this and the sub one you did. I noticed you blanked something out when you went to the wheel house of the New York, that intrigued me what it was???
I believe it was due to the fact you weren’t allowed to film the submarine from that angle. (same goes when they were on the fly bridge)

Whole different Navy from when I was in. I was on the USS Ogden LPD-5. 74-75

I’m so excited for fleet week! Portland Oregon has theirs June 7 - 11
Will be interesting to see how that will go considering that most PDX’rs hate our country.
Great video and tour

i wonder why you couldnt film the sub when you where just on it!
I want doors like these in my house
Awesome video, you have gained a sub!
Thanks!
What a dumpy little tour guide - officer:even operating heavy doors/hatches an effort. The Indiana sub captain preferred!

@@kevincrosby1760 Ok, thanks for the info. Still prefer the tall guy - but life can be a bit unfair!

Some of that steel should be used to build the prison bars for Bush.
Lmfao

It makes sense but I wouldn't have expected so many air locks for decontamination.

Hey bro can you please show me the USS WEST VIRGINIA
Show us the armory!
So just out of curiosity the next time fleet week happens in NY anyone from the public can go and tour these boats and subs?
Yes anyone may go aboard the ships during fleet week. PJ
Awesome
Wouldn't be complete without a Bills flag in the mess hall!

I wonder what will happen to the ship when it is eventually decommisioned? It would be cool if it gets preserved. It certainly would deserve it.
How come the flags were blurred when you looked off the bow?
I think if I had it to do over again I'd join the Navy and try to get on a ship like this one, a "non combative" combat ship. Not as "cool" as nuclear sub, but more like a cruise ship that does military stuff.
A ship of war next to a cruise boat.
Chief... great tour guide...
My head spun when they walked on the crest. How disrespectful can you get!?
Why was that other ship blurred?
That was the submarine. Can't film it from certain angles.
does she take an annual PT test ?
So in the medical bay they don't chop off the arms of real sailors for practice?
How come you cant film the sub?
Alot of navy ships have a Broadway it is not unique to ships named New York. WWII battleships also call it that.
The hummer armor is better and safer than first gen rapid fielded armor.
Feet week!
I would love to be there at pray time when they read my uncles name out.
As in AF guy it’s cool to see these ship tours. I lived at a navy base during a deployment but steered clear of most things navy lol
That was a safe bet on your part as you probably would've gotten your ass kicked. I've never met an AF guy and been impressed - next time join a real service.
some is watching rotj 1983 star wars
I heard that too haha
note the marines turning around when they see the camera - always thinking - always faithful
Can't wait for this to pay host to a 65-76A.
Only 7.5 tons? that's like 3 trucks

Kind of sad that they have a signed guitar from Ted Nugent, seeing as how he was a draft Dodger.
Why are u not allow to films sub
Wait why did everyone in your group look like jr enlisted personnell? If they were junior enlisted where were their backpacks? lol
The steel couldn't withhold "jet fuel" but it's good for combat...
Hopefully there's no significant jet fuel on that boat 😬 Wouldn't want it to melt anything.
How does one keep the dress whites so white?
nice ship!, but since I got out in 89, Navy weight standards have gone to shit. LtCmd and the Chief are well over. only the PFC is in fighting shape.
Not going to lie, all the 9/11 shrines seems a bit much. I understand a few, but once you start including a guitar from a guy that shit his pants to get out of the draft, it's too much at that point.
This ship was built for 9/11 memorial of course it's gonna be over the top
Romex wiring with no conduit in many places it seems. Saving money at any cost ? ??????
It’s not romex lol and I doubt it with how much we pay
Great tour, but try to talk a bit slower.Sounds like you're in a hurry, but anyway thanks for showing us the U.S.S. New York!
Thank you for your cervix
