There was a painting of Snuffy Smith on the fuel oil tank. Is it still There? It was likely painted in the 1940s. One of the jerks who manned the space (he shall remain nameless) tried to remove it with a needle gun in 1985. One of the guys repainted it like new as the outline and base colors were still visible.

BB 62. 4 X 110,000 HP steam turbine engines. 8 X 650 PSI boilers. 60,000 tons at 33 knots. 15,000 mile range on on board fuel. 19 X battle stars. Those steel fabrications for propellor shafts support are alone a fabulous example of the quality of the entire ship. Mind boggling engineering went into her from stem to stern. Philadelphia Naval Ship Yards 1942.

I been spending most of my KZread time here. No b.s, good explanation..great job dude.

I love seeing that Engineman cog- reminds me of the art we had in one of our aux spaces on AOE-2 Camden.

I'm so glad this boat didn't go to the scrap yard.

If it is an Alco 539 it looks like the 6 cylinder version which is usually 1000 HP or about 735 kW. Assuming a reasonably efficient generator, it should be generating between 550 kW and 600 kW of electricity. There should be a name plate on the generator with this info.

What was the manufacturer and model of the diesel and what is its power output?

The mighty mo will always be my favorite but I am know because of you a fan of the New Jersey also.

What kind of diesel is that? Cummings? Cat? Great video and thank you.

I imagine if you hit your head on a prop shaft you get a serious headache.

I wonder if the guys would like to finish it?

U.S.S. New Jersey B B-62 the penultimate United States Naval weapons platform. The true Flag Ship of the fleet and represents the proud traditions of her nation. Old Glory rustling in the breeze above her deck with the ensign of 19 battle stars neath her. “ The Big J” firepower for freedom.

Interesting that the spinning prop shafts are just exposed like that. At first I assumed we were looking at a housing with the shaft inside.

@@BattleshipNewJersey Actually, I believe that the propeller shafts are hollow and filled with sand. This is because a solid shaft would not only be very heavy, but the stress on the solid shaft could cause them to crack. By making them hollow, and locating the engines midships, the shafts can twist and take up that stress. I think they can twist up to one-and-a-half times over their length. See smartmechanicals.blogspot.com/2018/05/why-most-of-propeller-shafts-are-hollow.html

What make are those diesel engines ?

Sort of surprised they used an Alco 6 cylinder. Fairbanks-Morse opposed piston engines are still used to this day on military ships for both primary and standby power. Course, Fairbanks-Morse are taller engines-probably why the Alco was used.

Ever find out who did a particular sailor's art?

Why is the #1 shaft the longest? I would have assumed that #1 and 4 shafts would be equal length.

@BattleshipNewJersey

Because the engine rooms run forward to aft stacked behind one another so they are all different lengths

Why are the propellers different sizes and blade counts?

Awesome

You did not even talk about the diesel engine. I don’t know about the diesel back up power on the Jersey but on my ship it was a 12 cylinder diesel with 24 pistons that’s a very unique engine and you didn’t even talk about anything but the shelves in the engine rooms very disappointed

Can you do a sailor art video

They're not allowed to light the boilers and run the steam systems at all. Even if they were, it would take tons of work to get everything in working order. There's no money for that or for the fuel needed to run it.
