She was back in action, launching and landing planes 30 minutes later. My father went aboard Essex at Ulithi Atoll on March 13th 1945, 4 months after this happened.

At 2 min 49 sec her lowering the Union Jack at her bow announced officially "Underway." USS Texas is officially sortied! At the same time Colors is shifted from the Aft flag staff to the Yardarm.

I was born too late. I love Battleships! South Dakota and Alabama were two of the best ships America ever built. Both in firepower and beauty! _Together_ they carried 18 16"/45 caliber main guns, and 36 5"/38 dual purpose secondaries. Plus nearly two hundred AA guns of 40mm and 20mm caliber. This was filmed in early 1943; when these ships were serving with the British Home Fleet. They were hoping to catch the German Battleship Tirpitz and Battlecruiser Scharnhorst; both of whom were operating out of occupied Norway. They never caught the German ships at sea. In July of '43, they returned to the States, and after a brief time in the shipyard for maintenance, moved via the Panama Canal to the Pacific. One of my favorite _What Ifs_ of WW2 is, what if Sodak and Bama HAD caught Tirpitz and Scharnhorst at sea? That would have been an epic battleship action! With their bigger guns, heavier armor, and superior radar and fire control, I think the American ships would have won this action. But in war, nothing is certain!

I remember watching a short documentary about the USS Wolverine when I visited the Pensacola Naval Air Museum. Whenever a plane was destroyed, they just pushed the wreckage overboard. The training planes were old and not going to be used for the war, so they were disposable. Recently, they've started fishing up those planes and now a few sit in that very museum, or at least I think so.

They were having sort of an airshow that day and the people in the press wanted to see the Sea Dart fly but not just fly they wanted it to go supersonic. Problem is the engineers had not cleared it to go supersonic but Convair test pilot Charles Richbourg was pressured into doing that and right about the time he broke the sound barrier the plane disintegrated with the pieces crashing into the San Diego bay. Pilot Richbourg was purportedly still alive when they plucked him from the water but died shortly thereafter.

Like the USS Enterprise, the USS Nevada was a victim of an ungrateful nation that did to her, again like the USS Enterprise, what the enemy never could.....destroy her. The USS Nevada SHOULD be moored as a museum ship where the USS Missouri is now. The USS Missouri has NO right to be there but the USS Nevada does as the ONLY battleship to be able to get underway as the barbaric savages of Japan were destroying or damaging her sister ships, eventually even to forcing her to be beached in order to prevent her sinking.

@@phayzyre1052 cool! I’ve been looking into those old ww2 and cold era planes, it’s my teen hobby! Too bad convair shut down before I was born. They made some pretty cool planes, the b36, nb36h, the b58, the f102 and f106, and the 880s and 990s. Do you know why they shut down though? They seemed like they were golden back then. Well thanks for the clarification and stay blessed!

@@Lebxano Not sure what happened to Convair. I know from about the 1950s to the early 90s Convair was around in one form or another and they had multiple other divisions including commercial aircraft, missile defense and space. However, by about the mid-1990s they were pretty much gone for good and sold their assets off to other companies. Post World War II was a hotbed of activity well into the 1970s and there were still several aviation companies around. I think the only main key players from that time who are still alive today is Boeing and Lockheed. The rest of them have either merged with other companies or (like Convair) disappeared altogether. Oh, and speaking of Convair the only Convair built aircraft I ever saw fly was the F-106. That was way back in 1982 when I was 11 years old and was in the Boy Scouts. We went to a Scout jamboree which was basically a gathering of Boy Scout troops from all over concentrated into one large campground. It was just east of Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida and one morning we were woke by the earsplitting roar of F-106s in full afterburner taking off. They were quite an impressive sight to see and man, were they loud! 😱
