[azure grove]

Wait NJ can’t move on her own?

[warped glade]

no

They are forbidden

I believe they have it stuck in place

same with battleship texas

@real sun get in here dummy

[native stream]

Misisle pod

[lethal leaf]

I was exercising in the gym when I saw the NJ was moved..shared it in history, general and off topic

[tawny bay]

[lethal leaf]

no one said a thing

[native stream]

[real sun]

Im at work T -T

[real sun]

Harpoon Pods

[tawny bay]

man , its just soooooooooo good ❤️

[warped glade]

helicopter lol

[lethal leaf]

tbh I always prefered older US battleships hence why I really want to visit the Texas before any other ship in the US

[tawny bay]

all the WW1 / WW2 stuff in general is so fascinating

just thinking about what tech existed back then 80 / 100 years ago is mind blowing

[warped glade]

pre-ww1 battleships were interesting

Older battleships did not half the same AA as the newer ones

[tawny bay]

back then it was more like : " AA ? , yeah sure put one down here , should be enough"

[warped glade]

Mostly it was recon that you had to worry aobut

[tawny bay]

yeah

[warped glade]

Usually, battleships sent out seaplanes to check to see where their shots were hitting

[lethal leaf]

they still did in ww 2

[warped glade]

I know

NJ had them too

[tawny bay]

more like, especially in WW2, since the battle ranges just kept increasing

[lethal leaf]

but ye I'd visit the Texas first and the Mikasa next..but after that I am screwed

[tawny bay]

but common was still around 15.000~ 20.000 yards

i personally will plan from smallest to biggest, and from distance of my location

so number one for me will be Belfast

[lethal leaf]

maybe I could visit the 16inch guns from Battleship Mutsu but they are on the other side of Japan

I did see Belfast back in 2019

[tawny bay]

GUNFIRE INCOMING !!!!

[warped glade]

Enterprise AA lol

[lethal leaf]

for a light cruiser...she big

Wows doesn't do her justice in person she is fucking big

[warped glade]

the difference between light/heavy is just armament, has no bearing on the size

anyways, I have to attend class

[mortal violet]

NJ will be in drydock for 2 months

[tawny bay]

i couldn't resist , lmao !

[warped glade]

[mortal violet]

[hazy owl]

What’s this thread about?

[tawny bay]

drydocking of NJ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToDAq0HeF94

[mortal violet]

Currently the IRL New Jersey is being moved to drydock as we speak

[hazy owl]

Is that good or bad

Does it just mean it being retired from service

[mortal violet]

It's a regular maintenance

[tawny bay]

she was retired since . . . end of 1990?

drydock is good, she needed it badly

[hazy owl]

Ohh

I see

[tawny bay]

" can she fire her guns"

"Well . . . mechanically the stuff is in good condition . . . "

[mortal violet]

Drydocking prevents corrosion from saltwater. That could form rust

[tawny bay]

love the questions hahaha

[mortal violet]

Just like USS Texas

NJ will be placed next to SS United States

Which in a very sorry state on the hull itself

For an ocean liner

[tawny bay]

yeah, libby commented that they would need a 100 mil at least

🫠

[hazy owl]

They decided not to scrap her

[tawny bay]

[mortal violet]

Most old oceanliners went to Turkiye

To be scrapped

Meanwhile State Trooper & ABC 6 Philly news helicopter still following NJ

Battleship New Jersey (@BattleshipNJ) on X

Today, Battleship New Jersey survived what may be her first earthquake while on land! The Japanese battlecruiser Amagi, approximately the same size as New Jersey, was wrecked by an earthquake in 1923 but the Black Dragon weathered hers unharmed.

Twitter · Apr 5, 2024, 3:03 PM

Amagi catching strays

[warped glade]

smh

[hazy owl]

Yeah there was an earthquake here

Was in New Hampshire but you could feel it in ma, apparently

I couldn’t

[azure grove]

Ouch.

Except the thing is, the one NJ got us a M4.8

What Amagi got was a M8

Which is approximately 31k times more powerful

[velvet shuttle]

Being in central mass, couldn't feel a thing
NJ had a 4.8 magnitude

[azure grove]

apprently some ppl felt that in HK when the 7.3 struck Taiwan

[floral pendant]

Makes you think how something so big can still be so fragile ngl. I bet a m3 is still scary to a ship builder..

[warped glade]

amagi is big, but earth is bigger

[floral pendant]

Real

[azure grove]

ngl M8 is captable of tearing like 90% of buildings to the ground, except those are well quake-resistent

not to mention an incomplete ship

and also noticeable that where Amagi was constructing is Tokyo, where the earthquake epicenter is literally next to

but nj on the other hand

[floral pendant]

Pain

She took the full force

Ig the USN is pretty lucky they didn't have to face an extra carrier on Midway

[azure grove]

Bold of you to think that would change much of the outcome

[floral pendant]

would give an extra headache or maybe cause more damage but probably not enough to sink Enty

[warped glade]

bae jersey

[velvet shuttle]

got her tub pools on either side

I think Vietnam era NJ is my favorite NJ

[tawny bay]

looking at the dry dock pictures shows how slim the bow actually is

[warped glade]

the answer has two parts

[floral pendant]

NJ pool party

[warped glade]

1. Panama canal

2. Hull Speed

Longer and narrower ships move faster than wider and shorter ships

But also, NJ couldn't be longer than the Panama Canal

[floral pendant]

If only the Panama Canal was bigger

[warped glade]

They did widen it

now this is a discovery!

[mortal violet]

Ok. What happened to NJ at the moment?

[mortal violet]

Welcome to the archive of the Drydocking of IRL New Jersey.

This thread was made to commemorate New Jersey's successful drydocking & maintenance.

[analog sedge]

oooo

[candid gorge]

I was there with my Plushie of New Jersey when New Jersey came back to Camden New Jersey after being dry docked.

[mortal violet]

I literally stay awake around midnight just to watch it live

[candid gorge]

And I drove down all the way to Camden to see New Jersey come back.

[candid gorge]

It’s been one year since New Jersey returned to Camden after being dry docked.

[floral pendant]

been a year since NJ gyatt was exposed to the sea

[mortal violet]

Been one year eh?

[candid gorge]

Yes it has.

[mortal violet]

And our NJ is lazing around in Camden.

[analog sedge]

Can i put the Cult of Black Dragon link here?
