The Royal Australian Navy used to hold annual races. Look up HMAS Brisbane Wedgie Cup. Arace between an Oliver Hazard Perry FFG and a Modified Charles F Adams DDG. JET turbine v super steam boilers

Last time I saw the Nitze, well she couldn't go anywhere.. because she was still under construction at Bath Iron Works as we (the USS Momsen DDG-92) sailed away for our commissioning.

Where's the rooster tail? USS Mahan DDG42 could make rooster tails going 33 knots with all 4 boilers on line. CDR R.O. Crawshaw said"This is better than a vitamin pill!" After the Marine barracks in Beirut were destroyed, the mighty Mahan was detailed to escort USS Iowa(?) to the Lebanese coast for President Reagan's response. I wasn't onboard at the time but the CO made frequent visits to Main Control jumping around like a hobgoblin on a fistful of bennies demanding more speed because the battleship kept saying on the VHF radio,"If you cannot keep up, you WILL be left behind."

The battleship COULD leave any modern destroyer behind too! (they hit over 35 knots during sea trials)!

I was just talking to my friends about the Tiger Cruise I went on and randomly looked up the Nitze to see if there was any videos I could use to show them the ship. Lo and behold not only do I find the video of the race I was describing to them but I can see myself in this footage! Thank you so much for uploading this, I've lost all my footage and pictures from the trip.

What I love as a taxpayer, we all get to pay for this nonsense. Seriously, we are the ones paying for all the BS those in the military waste. Fuel, ammo and all the other wastefulness. Then.. we are made to feel that if we don't thank everyone for their service that somehow we are bad Americans. No, I have seen the amount of low end morons who end up in the military, maybe they should be thanking us for the military babysitting them.

Great Video! Go Navy! The WW2 Heavy Cruiser USS Indianapolis CA 35 set a speed record from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor in 74 1/2 hours at an ave. speed of 29 knots which still stands to this day. In WW2 - The U.S. Navy heavy cruiser USS Chicago (CA-29) was under tow at five knots by USS Louisville (CA-28) on the morning of 30 January 1943. The damaged cruiser had been torpedoed by Japanese aircraft on the previous night. In 1931 during USS Louisville CA 28 Shakedown Cruise the 107,000 SHP Louisville made almost 32 Knots with only 6 of her 8 boilers kicked in. God Bless the sailors of the USS Indianapolis & our service men and women - past & present!
