Younger people really don't appreciate how good and accessible this type of content is compared to how it used to be. This video is 20 minutes, which is about the equivalent of a 30 minute TV documentary with commercials and this is just as good if not better than the overly produced, difficult to get made documentaries that you just had to hope to catch on TV or may never be seen again. The fact you guys are pumping out great content so consistently and we can just pull it up on KZbin and watch it whenever we want is amazing

In 1975 I was a Marine captain deployed in the western Pacific. That year I was embarked aboard LST (Landing Ship Tank ), LSD (Landing Ship Dock), and LPD (Landing Ship Platform). My battalion participated in the evacuation of Saigon in April 1975. My company was embarked on the LPD USS Denver. The most sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons were twin 40 mm positions, but I honestly don't think anyone knew how to operate them since they were useless against the modern jets of the day. All I can say is that the USS New York LPD looks like a 5 Star luxury resort compared to what we had in 1975. The ward room on the LPD Denver was very small and required 4 sittings to serve all of the officers every meal. Each officer was assigned to one of the 4 sittings. Each sitting was for 20 minutes and if you were late, you missed the meal. Several things I still distinctly remember: the smell of diesel fumes were constant, there was a film of oil from the fumes an the decks and bulkheads, and how easy it was to get lost on the ship. Interesting times in those days.

I was born and raised in New York City. I enlisted in the United States Navy at the age of 17, in 1974, just like Richie did. I served as a gunner's mate aboard an amphibious cargo ship, homeported in Norfolk, VA. After my 6 year hitch I returned to my life in NYC and, in 1984, I became an Emergency Medical Technician. I was an officer with the Williamsburg (Brooklyn) Volunteer Ambulance Corps for 14 years, as well as working as an EMT/driver for a few different commercial ambulance companies. I left NYC in 2001, just a few months before 9/11. Of the many first responders that we lost that day, 7 were friends and former partners. Had things in my life turned out a little differently I probably would have been with them. I now live not too far from Norfolk, VA where I served nearly half a century ago. Thank you for making this video. Thank you for giving Richie a little camera time. Thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into your coverage of our military members today, and the challenges they face as our nation continues forward. We face a future that may not be what we think it will be, but our military members will face it as they have for more than 250 years, with pride, honor, courage, and American unflinching determination. God bless America.

@thegreatescape07 7 ай бұрын

I love that military technology is so cool that it doesn't matter who developed it, we all just find it fascinating. I recently watched *The Insane Engineering of the M1 Abrams* by _Real Engineering_ that talked about how the US Abrams tank uses a _German_ 120mm main gun. Initially the Abrams had a 140mm main gun but changed to a smaller (but equally capable) 120mm main gun developed in Germany and used for their tanks. The reason for the switch was a UN initiative that focused on _standardization of ammunition._ There would be efficient supply lines shared between allies in the event of war. (If I'm not mistaken this was prompted by the cold war.) Since Germany already developed and used 120mm main guns for their tanks and there was a high likelihood of the US deploying tanks against Russia, it would be more efficient for Germany to supply US tanks with ammunition they could quickly create, so Germany provided the technology to the US military.

A quick correction. The bridge lights are not red because the light "dissipates" more quickly. It takes a while to adapt vision at night. That means if you were using white lights and stepped from the bridge to outside, you would be more or less blind until you eyes adapted. If you're in the bridge with red lights, you can step outside and your eyes are already adapted.

You would never guess what's there if you were only interested in the beach and boardwalk. High clearance areas, and the most important ships and jets in our US military call Norfolk home.

Awesome video with a lot of information that not a lot of people get to know. You've got the royal treatment. Those navy PAO (public affairs officers) did a very good job of by having you walk around all over the place with another officer walking you around. I cannot say enough from the footage of LCAC at Little Creek to their cabins and some spaces on the ship. Nicely done very professional video that I'm sure was still vetted by the USN.

The best overall look at a ship, the bunks are far better than what I ever had.

He moved from analyzing military equipment to actually experiencing it in action, great development move!

My Battalion Landing Team was embarked on the USS Fort Marion, an LSD in 1969. The Captain of that ship loved Marines. Treated us like kings. We got first chow, front seating for movies, first grab when the ships store opened. He kept the mess deck open all night so we could play cards and smoke. A cook kept making sandwiches and Kool-Aid all night. I loved that ship.

My favorite thing was knowing that I helped build these ships at Avondale Shipyards on the westbank of Jefferson Parish in New Orleans

The reason most goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.

Liked this video. Served on an Austin class LPD ( USS Coronado LPD 11) from 1974-1977. We were the comand ship for 2nd Bat. RECON out of camp Lejun. Our draft was to deep for Little Creek, so we were out of Norfolk

I've spent a lot of time on ships during my time in the Marines. I think you have done a fantastic job putting this video together. I am jelous about the new racks they have. They are multiple steps up from what we had. Thanks for doing the video.

Lol. Hate to bust your bubble devil dog but the marine racks are not the sit up ones on these ships. I precommed the FTL (LPD-28) in 2022. But then again, maybe the navy doesn't want you comfortable, they want you angry when we drop you on the beach.

I have been watching this type of video lately, and it's good to see that they're prioritizing taking care of the troops. Being on these ships is a tough job. But when you're well fed(Hershey's chocolate syrup on your ice cream is a luxury you won't see in many militaries), and given good qtrs that still require a team mentality, you're going to win a lot...
