Sometime between 70/72 when I was serving on my first ship USS Dahlgren DLG-12 I was home ported out of Norfolk at the D&S piers (Destroyer & Submarine) and remember the SS United States being brought in to Norfolk after her retirement. It was quit the big deal when she passed us at the D&S piers and there was a bit of a ceremony involved. I remember there were boats with water cannons in attendance blowing their ships horns and all. I remember how blown away I was by her size as she passed us at the D&S piers and am glad I had the opportunity to witness a bit of history. It was a sight I will never forget...

I had the privilege of getting to tour the ship back in 2000 when a friend of mine was doing a documentary on the ship. Amazing to see how it looks today and honestly not a whole bit different from 16 years ago. I remember the slick floor with all the oil on it almost feel there and the smell was something else as well. Look forward to more videos.

It's 2021 and she's still at 97 percent tensile strength. Hope she will be brought back to her former glory.

From what I understand, this ship was so well-built, the superstructure rust and corrosion prevention initiatives used when she was built will prevent the interior from degrading for decades. If the exterior can be rescued and treated this would make solid bones to put some new meat on. Expensive to refurbish certainly, but boy, what a project to highlight US maritime prowess...

Steve, I hadn't known that the S.S. United States was so important to you. I'm really glad for you that you finally got to go aboard. I think of this phenomenal ship as a troop transport that could be used as an ocean liner rather than as an ocean liner that could be used as a troop transport. I've read that the S.S. United States was designed so she could be turned into a troop transport in only 48 hours. Wow! This ship, in various forms, had been in the mind of William Gibbs since the early 1900's yet he never made a crossing on the United States.

I recall reading that one of the features that gave the Queen Mary some protection against u-boats during WWII was the Queen Mary's great speed, around 31 mph. So if the SS United States can go 40 or even 50 mph, that's amazing. I know that our aircraft carriers can go very fast (classified speed), but they have almost unlimited, nuclear power.

SS US overtook that record in 1952 with an average speed of 34.51 knots = 39.72 mph using only 2/3 of her power. (They have to go against the Gulf stream so the top speed must be higher). The highest measured speed for the US was over 38 knots = 44 mph and she could likely go faster.

It was a real thrill for an almost 10 year old back then. We were traveling to South Africa, we flew to Spain and caught another ship to Cape Town South Africa. A real privilege to travel on the SS United States.

This is real cool old ship ☺️

I was in the Navy in 1973 late when I first laid eyes on her. She was tied up at the same pier as the USS Shreveport LPD-12. I had wanted to go aboard her and explore. She did not look like the pictures you are showing. This was in Norfolk. She looked so majestic then. Sad to she her in her present shape.

Even the Seawise Giant, probably the largest ship ever built, which weighed a mind numbing 650,000 tons when fully loaded (12 times more than the SS United States!), "only" had a 36 ton anchor.

The room looks like a tank room. Very hard to say without knowing where you are on the ship. Also, FSD is standard usage on an ocean liner to indicate a Fire Safety Door. If a fire was detected in the area, these doors would close and lock automatically in order to contain any fire.

Hi Steve great explore! I used to do urbex on old sanitariums, morgues, hospitals etc years ago. Im also been an engineer for over 35 years. The items at 6:26 are some sort of heat exchanger and I see the letters 'AC' on the breaker board. I believe this is an air conditioning sub station? The naster chillers would be in the engine room but by the time the chilled air travelled all the awy up to the passenger areas it would be warmer. So these units eould chill the air down again to a lower temperatrure I think. In modern AC systems they have devices called FCU's (Fan Coil Units), which would do a similar job. The main chillers on the roof and the FCU's in office areas. I think the 'FSD' is possibly 'Fan Service Distribution'. If i'm worong someone please holla! FANTASTIC channel liked and sub'd! 7:41 that woud go down to the 'chain locker'. She would have had MASSIVE anchor chains probably around 500 -700 feet long EACH!

6:55 Anchor weighing a 1,000 Tons if not more! Considering the USS Nimitz anchor and chain of an aircraft carrier. One 90-foot shot of chain that weighs a total of 20,500 pounds. Twelve shots of chain collectively hold a 60,000-pound anchor. 306000-pound of chain and anchor only weigh in at 115 US tons.

Nice one. :) I await the remaining parts of this series with much interest. If they gutted her in Ukraine, I wonder why they did not take the engineering bits you show in the video? Not that I am complaining, but when you strip her down that far, it is odd to me that they leave just some bits behind. If all the internal structure is indeed aluminium, then that would not rust so will make her very solid in terms of the internal structure. This would also have saved a significant amount of weight of the overall vessel, so that no-doubt contributed to her impressive top speed of the day. If the outer hull is OK, and it's cleaned and painted, there might be hope yet for the old girl.

Fascinating. What a shame if this isn't converted and refitted. I see it being turned to scrap. What is the explanation on the curvature, mid ships to bow? Was that designed in or just the way the ship rides and was expected to ride? It doesn't take much of an error to cause that type of problem. Go figure an error of one one hundred sixty eighth of an inch doesn't sound like much but after 168 feet there is a full one inch error. Thanks for the video.

The British ocean liner QE2 was converted to a troop carrier for the Royal Navy during the faulklands war 🇬🇧🇬🇧

They don't have to make it modernized that much. It is an original and is exempt like the PS Waverly and the SS jermiah o Brien. Even Queen Mary is original and not newly built so she could technically be resotred too and be used atleast for excursion to give people the feel of classic steam ocean liners but they don't want too. I'd rather have this ship as an original operational steamship doing small excursion and ofcourse to be used as a museum. The only bad part is the fact that not much of the ship is original and would have to be custom made but once again nobody cares and just want's to make profit of it rather than preserving history.

same fate as Olympic, would have served as a troop transport, then when cunard and White star merged, and the Queen mary and Queen elizabeth were completed, they replaced all other ships in comparative role for both lines for transatlantic cruises. To add, simply, the great depression took a tole on cruise lines, so ships became expensive to operate, especially older ones like Olympic. So they were eventually removed from service, then retired, then scrapped. Olympic is REALLY lucky to last this long because she actually got hit by a torpedo on or before august 1919, but it failed to detonate, and they found this out by means of finding a crack and deformation in the hull below the waterline.

The sad reality is, this ship will require a ton of time, and money(with no return on investment)to make her sea-worthy again! It's for the best just to scrap her and let her become history!

Its look like ghost ship i ever see

I like your attitude. I think it's possible too. The ship really needs to be restored for America. But no one has done a thing with the SS United States. It's always a management problem. If you're interested to see the ship restored, Please join the mailing list at info@theubie.com Just mention SS United States in the title. i'm not begging for money.. it needs organization.

It’s never sailing. It’s not pessimism, it’s fact.

Not sailing again. It’ll either be a hotel ship or a reef. No other option.

I put the diamond in the coat. I put the coat on her!

Did this ship sail to and from Ukraine under it's own power? was this back in the 70s?

Any Ghosts?

Oh dude, you never refer to a ocean liner as a boat!!! Lol. If the captain heard you say that, you would have been made to walk the plank! Lol.

Would make a great artificial reef. Or scrapped and melted down for inclusion in the U. S.’s next overpriced warship. Unfortunately, that might be the thinking of most Americans. Likely most Americans have no idea that this once great ocean liner exists, let alone it’s history. And that is such a shame. Bringing back this ship to it’s 1952 glory could be a grass roots patriotic project that brings many of us back together and helps quell the divisiveness that has permeated our society for too long. Americans, it seems, are yearning for something to believe in again, a shared goal and common purpose, to bolster the spirit and pride that once made us proud to be Americans. What better project than this namesake of our country, the SS UNITED STATES.

Why would they want to move the bridge??

Abandoned Steve Too low and too far back for what? I'm just curious; I'm no expert on this stuff. It just seems to me that altering the exterior of the ship will make it no longer original, and defeats the purpose of restoring such a great piece of American nostalgia.

+Thirdgen83 I don't know for certain but I'm guessing the changes are connected with SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) rules for passenger ships. The standards for safety are very high, more so than in the past. You made an excellent point: I've read books about this ship and many other books about ocean liners and have never read about visibility problems aboard the S.S. United States.

peal it to the bone

FSD? Frame Shift Drive Holy freaking crap... O: (No one understands that of course XD )

There aren't any engines in her

Was built out of EGO rite at a time when air travel (still in its infancy)was getting started .What a waste of OUR money as taxpayers ! Now what good is it ?

Sorry, but I have NEVER heard of those classes for the Titanic. The only class of Passengers I have ever heard for Titanic was first, second & third. never heard it called middle class... what the hell is that?

Nobody watching this video has been on the ship

a company owns the wreck and is planning to bring it back to life hope it keeps the same design though and dosen't turn into a complete modern day cruise
