@@atticusstewart5096 Are you stupid or just too ignorant to understand the purpose of this video ? This is just a brief overview of the North Carolina, 18 min video is just a summary, not a full account of detail. It’s impossible to go through every single detail of the service history. They have to omit less relevant information to keep the video short. And loosing 5 sailor is really nothing in the context of war....over thousands of men loose their life every day during war. It’s impossible to recognize every single one of them in a video. I mean their family members will not forget them, but you still have to understand due to the large amount of casualties in each engagement, unless the sailor did something outstanding, it’s not likely for a documentary to mention all of them.

Only fitting she had to to go through hurricanes. North Carolina is infamous for it's hurricane season. I still have a picture of my daughter sitting on a cannon when we visited this ship.

@@carolinadog8634 I am an 18 year volunteer on board and one of the contributors to this video... After the torpedo hit she increased to 25kts and stayed in formation for the rest of the day. She would be return for Pearl and repairs and some additional work would take about 30 days or so. She would not return to the western US until her major refit in the summer/fall of 1944. Due to the impact and damage, the #1 turret could be used only in an emergency until repairs were made in Pearl, but none of the crew ever shared that there was any concern of firing #1 turret would cause the ship to sink or break apart, just that they didn't want to cause further damage that would lengthen the repair time.... also, the whipping effect on the foremast disabled her SK air search radar. One of the worst stories was from one of the damage control team members talking about sealing up bulkheads with possible alive crew members on the other side... said it gave him nightmares.

My wife, son and I visited the North Carolina not long ago. It appears they've taken good care of her and for a relatively 'modern' sailor like me she is absolutely fascinating. I've actually witnessed 3 of the 4 Iowas underway and firing their main batteries, 2 of them during Desert Storm. I also did some work aboard Iowa while she was being recommissioned in the 1980s.

When the North Carolina was being upgraded, there was a man walking the deck with a big hoop, he would lay it down on the deck, draw a ring around it, move it so it almost touched the last ring and draw a new ring. Where each ring was, the shipyard mounted an AA gun. This is why it's so hard to say how many AA guns a BB carried in the later parts of the war!

I just visited the USS North Carolina this past weekend. Amazing. My lady and I took a 4.5 hour guided tour of the ship, led by a Mr. Jim Sweetwood (thanks Jim!!!) and it was phenomenal!! His knowledge amount was outstanding. I highly recommend the guided tour for any naval history buffs out there. It was $67(?) total for the both of us but well worth every penny. Wilmington, NC is a cute town too with plenty to do.

The part of the commentary "Are you on fire??" was golden!! they just witnessed the awesomeness of her firepower and were obviously stunned by it.

I was a schoolboy when the state decided to save her from the scrapyard. I remember collecting dimes to "Save Our Ship". Later I was lucky enough to be visiting relatives in Wilmington and was among the first tours on board her. She is one of the museum ships that is still in her WW II configuration. Well worth a visit!!

My great grandfather was one of the men who built her. Every time I visit the uss North Carolina it's like there's a connection just to be able to touch something I know he had a hand in building.

I was born in North Carolina and this ship was one of the first model ships I built. When I was in 4th grade I put my dimes in a cup to help buy this ship. July 1st, 1963 I was on board. At that time, you could man the 40mm & 20mm guns and I had a tremendous time playing with the biggest toy I'd ever seen. For most of my life, I carried a USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial Pocket Knife - in my pocket and I still have that knife to this day. You'd be surprised at how many computers I repaired with that knife ... I can still remember laying on my back in a computer lab in Puerto Rico using the smaller of that knife's two blades as a screw driver, removing failed circuit boards from a rack I pulled out over me - and then replacing them ... I'd been sent to provide training - not fix computers - and hadn't brought my tools ... so I was using what was in my pocket ... .

I've seen the North Carolina two times that ship was awesome for back in the day matter of fact it's still awesome

Please bring the USS North Carolina to World of Warships Legends!!

The Mighty Legendary Battlin' BB-55, USS North Carolina, a fine ship indeed and I am glad to have watched this video.

My Grandpa served on the USS North Carolina. He didn't like talking about the war, but he did tell me he watched the massive cannons fire once during a battle. He said the blast burnt off his eye brows and arm hair.

I'm a bit surprised this history of The USS North Carolina did not include the ship being struck by a torpedo while doing escort duty with the USS Wasp and USS Saratoga on 15 September 1942. While she had a 13 by 82 foot hole in the port forward quarter, over 12 feet below the waterline, she managed to maintain station with the USS Saratoga, doing 25 kts with a 5 degree list to port.

Wasn’t she escorting Hornet CV-8 as part of TF-17? North Carolina couldn’t have been escorting Saratoga on September 15th because Saratoga was struck by a torpedo on September 1st and had gone back for repairs.

I have been waiting for this episode FOREVER 😁😁

I live in wilmington were uss North Carolina is held: so she is a bit of a life style for our family

I toured her in Wilmington many years ago when I was a kid. Best vacation of my life. They've done an amazing job keeping her up over the years.

Every time I go to Wilmington I go on that ship and it never gets old!

*_What a wonderful video! I love this series!_*

Just toured the ship it was amazing

My brother served on USS Missouri during the first Gulf War and I served on USS Kinkaid DD 965

Omg the CGI looks so good in that battle scene.

I love the Naval Legends Videos so much :) They are extremly high quality and so informative. I hope you will do much more of these Videos :) Whats the brilliant song at 2:33 Min ? Love this song on every Naval Legends Video :) Keep it up. Great Video :)

You'll have to come to Wilmington, NC in order to visit the NC. I live here in Wilmington. The Battleship NC is across the river from downtown which has a lot of historic buildings and lots of resturants/bars, we also have Wrightsville Beach is a great place to visit as well. The way you said "visit NJ and the NC" it seemed kind of ambiguous like you might have thought its in NJ. Anyway, if you want any tips for when you come visit I'd be glad to give ya the local rundown.

It’s wild how well done these docs are. Thank you for all the content. Not to mention my favorite game!

Great job on this documentary! She's a beautiful ship and a very impressive battle record!

They should make USS Washington a premium with radar mod or secondary mod or reload module to commemorate her duel against the Kirishima. They should make USN tier 8 Missouri like BB

It's just an unfortunate fater her sister-ship Washington wasn't preserved, same with SD and Indiana

Visited her. What a magnificent piece of history.

You are making great job creating Naval Legends videos. Keep up the good work.

Nice video, but USS Enterprise when?

I went to this ship eight hours ago

My school used to have us go to her every month or so. Learned more about her in this video

Not sure what you mean. If you mean its sad she never got to duel her enemy counterparts, (Just my guess since you mention North Carolina, and the Iowa's but not Alabama) I guess. Though her sister USS Washington did fire on (and sank) Japanese Battleship Kirishima. If your going down the path of "reactivation" than its not sad at all, as beautiful as these ships are they are completely obsolete and of no practical use in the modern Navy.

....even if first hand knowledge is gone ists not actually gone. AARs exist from the last deactivation. The ships are a tiny bit out dated. The boilers can still be used even if they are the last of their type. The ammo is still available and more can be made, "they" were developing base bleed projectiles that would've almost doubled their range, and think about how amazing a 16" version of the 155mm Excalibur round would be. One destroyer has one 5" the Iowa's still have 8! The armor is still the thickest and would provide the best crew protection compared to the destroyer from over the horizon enemy assets. The biggest issue I admit to is if the barrels are out of round how could they replace that? Even updating the electronics would be pennies compared to the stealth ships the Navy is trying to produce that there won't be enough built to matter. Russian admirals still respect our BBs, there's a reason why!

TheGamerGauntlet that’s not really true

I've been on the North Carolina in Wilmington and thinking that 47 men had to stay in one of the turret it gives me chills. When I entered one of the gun turret I felt immediately claustrophobic, and I'm not usually, and there were maybe other 5 or 6 people around inside.... I can't imagine how it was when it was also firing!

I just visited her on Monday! Fabulous ship

Seeing how many ww2 ships are stil floating spread across the us, I wonder, if the stil could be fired up? Could these ships stil be used as a last line of defense? Even for today's standards?

Depends on the ship The main armament of the Iowas I believe is still usable (well, all of them except Iowa's turret 2 which was never fully repaired, just aesthetic repairs) The North Carolina, and other WW2 era BBs besides the Iowas, have their main armament disabled (disabled as in immobilized), and I believe parts of their power plant are also removed Note I never mentioned the secondaries, those I'm unsure Odds are the 5 inch 38s on the Iowas are still mobile, while any other warship has their secondaries disabled, but it all depends on what the US government requires of each museum ship, so it's never exact (Note: I believe 2 Iowa's are still, under US Government request, able to be reactivated, however this could be incorrect. If this is true, Wisconsin and New Jersey are the 2 more likely ones. Iowas turret 2 is busted, so it'd be expensive to repair, and Missouri's role in history would make her a huge headache if she got sunk)
