A Look Around The U.S.S. New Jersey
A quick tour of The United States' most decorated ship; The U.S.S. New Jersey sits in the Delaware River on the Coast of Camden, New Jersey. This battleship has seen quite a bit of battles and is an American legend in its own right. The self walking tour takes a couple of hours but is well worth it if you happen to be in the Philadelphia or South Jersey areas.

Amazing Christopher
Thanks for the Video. I am a former crew member. Served onboard form 1983-1987 as a Gunners Mate in G4 division. 5inch guns. We were also responsible for the Armory. Funny Story. At around the 50sec mark on your video you cross the anchor chain. I did that once when we were manning the rails when pulling into port. I was new onboard. a GMGSA (E-2). I was on the starboard side and was directed to go to the port side. I did that by crossing the anchor chains. A few seconds later I had a Master Chief Boatswains Mate (E-9) grab the back of my arm and asked me "what did I see you just do?" I now being in the grasp of god himself got very nervous and had no clue what I just did. I told him I did not know. He then tells me that he never wants to see me cross those anchor chains again. Never did it again. So when I saw you do that the incident flashed back into my head. I had a wonderful time serving on board her. She is a beautiful ship. The museum crew and volunteers are doing a wonderful job.
I just finished watching your video 'A Look Around The U.S.S. New Jersey,' and it was fascinating to see the inside of such an iconic battleship. Thank you for sharing the tour! I'm curious, were there any standout features or areas of the ship that particularly amazed or surprised you during your visit?
Awesome
