*_Thats great news for The Sullivans. It's been a long time in coming and I can't wait to see the ship in dry dock. I wish I could volunteer but I live in Washington state. This last year has been great for the museum ships. Long live The Sullivans!!!_* 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣

opieshomeshop! Thank you very much for your support from the West Coast. You'll be getting all the latest updates on the channel when The Sullivans and Croaker do leave for dry dock. Last time Sully was in dry dock was March 1965 - after decommissioning - so it's long past due!

Awesome, fast video. Honestly didn’t even see you making it. Thank you so much for letting me help out. Can’t wait to come back and help more. Called up several friends and we are researching the RCA equipment in the secondary radio room. Would like your blessing to get more pictures of the radios before the park closes for the season

Thanks weselywood9239! Appreciate your help that day, and there'll be more opportunities to help for sure! Appreciate you reaching out to some friends...we have plenty of equipment in the primary radio room too, which we haven't gotten to yet - but, a lot of loose equipment I'd like to remove off the ship. There will opportunities for sure!

Battleship NJ went through the same thing as you did.Dry docking prep work for a museum ship is a lot of work.Cause everything is handled the extra care.So you will not damage the artifact.Bravo Zulu to each every one of you guys

@BuffaloNavalPark Ай бұрын

You are right. And that was one of the things we mentioned with each other on the Zoom call. As of now, we don't know what kind of interior work will be done, but I'll be secure knowing that if they want to do some work, that none of the artifacts put on display will be damaged - I've had enough of that with the sinking of Sully in 2022! Thanks for watching.

It looks like you are going to be very busy for a while. I hope everything transitions smoothly, and I look forward to further videos of the Sullivans and Croker leading up to dry docking.

@BuffaloNavalPark Ай бұрын

Thanks bluerebel01...appreciate your support as always! It's going to be a lot of work, but that's why I'm starting now. Dry docking may not happen for a year or more, but the sooner the better...other work has to happen on board 537 and 246 before leaving the pier, and this will make for "clean" vessels for that prep work!

Great news

@BuffaloNavalPark Ай бұрын

Thanks so much! It's a long process, but at least it's been started!

Excellent news. Wish I could help but it’s a long commute from the UK…..

Ha! Quite a long trip...but, thanks so much for following us! Cheers!

Did we miss the announcement of 'when' and 'to where' it's been decided Croaker and The Sullivan's are going? (Last I recall on the subject was the video where you ran through the locations that were under consideration!) 🧐😁

@sirboomsalot4902 Ай бұрын

@@wurlycorner No, they are still undecided

@BuffaloNavalPark Ай бұрын

wurlyone4685...no, those haven't been decided or announced yet. The city of Buffalo is working with naval architects, and will be beginning to discuss shipyards soon. Doesn't mean we'll have that information anytime soon as these are long, complex discussions. When the word does come out, I'll be doing a video about the news! Thanks!

I don't follow y'all closely. Great news you all will be dry docking The Sullivans and Croaker !!! I always wish you folks well. There is only so much ship related stuff a person can watch. I followed the immediate efforts to revive The Sullivans. I'll try to pay more attention again for a while.

michaelfrank2266, thanks for checking in from time to time, and offering your support! We don't know yet where or when we will be going, but we're going to be bringing everyone a multi-episode series called in the new year. This will show step-by-step decision making, discussions, leading up to the ships embarking! Thanks again.
