My dad served on the Newport News in the 50's. He was so proud when it was activated for service in Vietnam. When he was terminally ill, all I could get him to talk about was his time in the navy. After seeing this footage I see why.

Remember doing night ops and NGFS for the Marines ashore. To this day I do NOT like to see 4th of July fireworks. Reminds me of the real thing so many years ago. A Tin-Can Sailor..😢

Thank you for capturing this from my Grandpa. I always enjoy tuning in to here him retell the tale like he'd tell me so many tales of his days in the service.

My son and I slept on-board overnight in the aft birthing area when he was a scout. The next morning we split from the group and climbed up the outer later to the bridge even through it was off-limits. Found an old radar manual but left it in place the ship was great to explore located in Quincy Harbor MA. Models of it are now available which some of the $$ keeps the restoration going.

03:04 When you realize the tsar's lives on with 1812 overture:

She and her two sisters Salem and Des Moines were the baddest gunslingers the USN ever commissioned, they could put more metal in the air faster than anything before or since… with deadly accuracy.

@Dexter Goad, my grandfather was on that ship from 1963-1967. His name was Roy Savoy. 2nd fleet, petty officer 3rd class or something like that. I wish he was around so I could ask him, he passed 2 years ago. But he was on the USS Newport and his father, my great grandfather was on the USS Murphy in WWII. Great video.

It was an honor to work aboard her sister ship back in 2002 restoring her and installing and dedicating the memorial to all of the fallen along side my father who served with all of them and was there during that tragic time and helped recover his fallen brothers. They will Never be forgotten and I will forever be grateful for their service and sacrifice

When I was a boy in Mobile, Al. The NewPort News came to Mobile, Al for Mardi Gras in 1965. I never forgot that ship. I always wanted to sail on her. But I went to airborne school and served with the 101st airborne in 1972. I never forgot the Newport News. My daddy was a naval person. He made 13 beachheads and got chopped up in Bougainville. My daddy toured me on the NewPort News when I was 12 years old. I loved that ship and I loved my daddy too

My grandpa was on the Newport News in 1961.

God bless the US Navy

As a retired Senior Chief Operations Specialist (OSCS), I have run hundreds of simulated runs and actual firings at Ille de Vieques, Bloodsworth Island and off of San Diego throughout my 22 years of service. I even spent a week off of Beirut for possible actual missions which we never fired. I stood the following positions in CIC (Combat Information Center) - North Plotter, South Plotter, AGLO (Assistant Gun Liaison Officer) and GLO. I never once got to see the rounds land on target, but this video cleared all of that up. Thank you for posting it.

Was an EM3 on USS Myles C Fox DD829 and in 72 we got sent to Vietnam only there 2 months. We were on a cruise in the Indian ocean and got orders to proceed at best speed. During May and June 1972 we put out over 4,000 rd's of 5".

I sat in the aoutboard hatch stbd side on USS Forrest Royal DD-872 and what the rounds going out and coming in. will never forget that.

I was on the Providence CLG 6. WE RECORDED incoming rounds on A little portable cassette tape recorder. Asshole close! Still have the tape.

Hell Yea!!!!

Naval? That's Artillery guns not naval

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇾👍

These guys are all terrific! A really musical band. Craig is a banjo legend.

German wonder weapon😂

Sucks this place closed down

See a lot of GMGGUNS rates did a explosion on a gun happen?

Wow, amazing detail that I really liked about the filming.

1:10 I never thought I would see a WWII german flag on USS Salem... *...whoops I mean KMS Salem*

Would have been better if they removed Salem's B Turret and replace it with Spee's bridge...

Not the most melodic version I have heard,must be poor sound balance.

could you imagine if they had 16 inch guns firing

I was born may 2 2009

What they celebrate?

What a piece of history, i was a baby but I remember my dad talking about serving on the Newport News.. Here for the history.

There is only left channel audio

Wow, the new restoration of Graf Spee looks great! I can’t even tell it’s German! Wait...

My father in law served during your time. Steve Gibson. He just recently passed. He loved telling stories of being on that ship.

The producers did well to use the British ships that were as close to the originals, and I believe 2 even were. Since the Germans did try to make the Graf Spee look like a US cruiser in silhouette one can accept the use of the USS Salem. They probably should not have shown as much of the stern and tried to make turret B look false. When the "Spee's" guns were fired in the film only turret A should have been shown firing. And a flip of the film could have been used to simulate the rear turret firing. You have to use what you got. There were WW2 British cruisers available when the film was made, but there were no WW2 Panzerschiffe around.

My grandfather Roy johnson goin Jr was on board when this happened. He lost a couple bestfriends that day.

My grandpa was on the USS Newport News. Thank you for this video. I also happen to live in the Tampa Bay area

INS Delhi is the correct cruiser as hmnzs achillies
