Battleship • 12.6.17

[@gamingbymxx]

The vlogs have returned, happy days!

[@FlashtheFirefox]

The Battleship was amazing, I love history so getting to see all of what you showed was fascinating to me. Thank you Stephen for filming so much of the ship, I can’t speak for all of your viewers but I know I appreciated it.

[@sanicarmander2830]

I'm just a small town girl from Eastern NC, been traveling in China since last year. It's been months since I last saw my home. This got me feeling a little teary; I've always loved the battleship.

[@lyric939]

16:58 in the midst of learning so much about a battleship, a sudden fallout reference caught me choking on spit in laughter lol i didn't think i would enjoy a tour of a battleship, but this vlog shows that there is a lot of stuff to it. it's cool how it's a portable community with all the necessities for the serving navy.

[@annachibo]

I always love it when you film museums and historical sites for the vlog. This was fascinating!

[@OhGeeItsJen]

12:21 that's honestly my favorite part of the whole ship it makes me laugh every time I go there

[@TheRhedNova]

Next time you're in Wilmington, check out The Oceanic, the food is sublime! Man, that ship always gave me the willies growing up. We had a field trip every couple of years when I was in school, and I never strayed far from my group, haha.

[@OhGeeItsJen]

Rhedivivus I second the Oceanic! The view is amazing and they have cheerwine in the fountain!

[@OhGeeItsJen]

Stephen you are nuts wearing flip flops in there! I did that the last time I was there and I nearly slipped down several stairs.

[@Klang4evre]

Woo hook the vlogs are back!

[@jacobkubik9378]

[@AnorakDovahkiin]

About 9 years ago, I took a trip to Mobile, AL to visit some family. We took a tour of the USS Alabama (BB-60), and the USS Drum, a submarine. Both were super neat and are worth visiting!

[@thequietredhead1360]

The Battleship is really awesome alone, but there’s so many cool events hosted there too. They have summer movies on the deck, a Halloween ghost ship, and recently an annual July 4 theatre production. It’s awesome!

[@kinzee8062]

Okay, that ship is incredibly cool. Thanks for sharing it!

[@blackfox51]

Vlogalanche me, Stephen.

[@OhGeeItsJen]

This is really neat to see since I've been to the battleship a couple times. I love Wilmington, hoping to retire there in about 35 years lol

[@NintendoBlurb]

I haven't toured a battleship before but I did get to visit the Tillamook Air Museum on the road trip that I took last summer. While it wasn't as impressive as that battleship there was still a lot of interesting war planes that we got to see and we even got to go inside a guppy.

[@bc2014]

Yes! I'm pretty sure I've been on HMS Belfast in London but also in Belfast, I've been round both SS Nomadic (serving as a tender for White Star Line and Titanic - the only surviving ship of WSL) and also SS Caroline, the only surviving ship from the Battle of Jutland in WW1. Going round all of them provided very educational experiences.

[@krcdavid98]

So cool! I toured the USS Intrepid as a kid but was too young to appreciate it. Also, welcome back! 😊

[@colinlegameboy]

Yet another entry in one of my favorite StephenVlog categories- Tours by Proxy!

[@WWTBAMWinner]

All I've ever had the time to visit is the Intrepid, and that was for a Make a Wish trip. It was nice to see, but CV-11 certainly wasn't as open as BB-55. I'll have to visit this vessel if I ever have the chance.

[@jamesphan3546]

Yay vlogs are coming back. I especially can't wait for the christmas vlogs

[@Tubewings]

Speaking of naval museums, have you ever been to the USS Yorktown (CV-10) at Patriots Point?

[@stephenvlog]

Yes! But it's been a long, long time. I probably would've been 10 or 12, or possibly younger.

[@TryclydeTamer]

Excited to see vlogs from this point and how well the "thing" will work if it's still planned!

[@RubiksMoon]

TryclydeTamer its still planned. All im saying

[@LittleNerdAnnie]

I’ve been to the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, VA, I’m 5’2” and felt super claustrophobic so I can’t imagine how it feels to be Stephen.

[@Wicked3DS]

My grandfather was in the navy. One day he was on the deck and they had to fire the guns without warning as he was standing right under one. His hearing was permanently damaged after that, to the point that now at 95 years old you have to literally shout at him for him to hear you clearly.

[@YourPalRal]

Spoilers: Mark and Rhonda do visit in the following November, but as a surprise visit!

[@cripplepickle87]

Battleship tour by Owen Wilson "wow."

[@Austin_Niepołomice]

Wow I didn’t even know I was still subscribed to this channel. Happy to see a video pop up although I do wonder what happened that they got so behind (probably you just getting really busy).

[@AstroBowie]

Vacation, actually! It's on their twitter, they tend to keep that pretty regularly updated.

[@Jaenera]

I think this was really good quality wise

[@MikeCappella98]

Seeing this reminds me of the Intrepid here in NYC....which is much bigger because it is an aircraft carrier

[@BestIffers]

If you ever come to Canada you should visit the Haida!

[@MadroxMonoxide777]

That ship looks huge when it's docked like that, but I bet it felt like a shoebox when it was active.

[@lildrumrboy2001]

i've been living in wilmington for 3 years and didn't want to go to the battleship. i recently went and it was pretty sick!

[@ashtingle8011]

😍 I've been checking my subs every day for thissss

[@imbored200]

Finally a new video. I've been waiting for a new video

[@RaisedThird]

Ive consistently watched old vlogs in the meantime, so it doesn’t even feel like you’ve been gone. Also, this video had a Trojan AD and I don’t know how to feel about that.

[@NSXTACY420]

Awesome, thankyou Stephen.

[@Madmushroom64]

Oh yeah, vlogs. Forgot about those lol Keep doing your best, Stephen!

[@reneemaas4616]

We did the tour of the Missouri in Pear Harbor. I'm 5'2" and was bumping my head in spots. I was wondering how well you would fair on a battleship ;)

[@valhawk]

The fabled vlogs have returned, long have the people awaited the return of their lord and savior.

[@bacca4813]

17:00 Would Grit be dissapointed or excited because of that.

[@ShockeyChuster]

Probably disappointed since there's no Ribcages. :P

[@LNERFlyingScotsman]

Is 1 month the longest gap between vlog updates being posted to KZbin?

[@daisyxu5863]

I haven't been in a battleship before, but I have visited some forts

[@Nanakirb]

It’s been 500 years... haha no worries Stephen we all know your busy! Just gotta make a small joke. Anyway yay to vlogs! Can’t wait for the Christmas one

[@captainziggy82]

THE RETURN

[@Swift4Sweeper]

After all these years...vlogs are back!

[@TheRollsen]

Yes, more vlogs

[@kero8136]

Aw wow, this was uploaded on my birthday lmao

[@mtdnml]

Hofstadter's Law: Things take longer than you'd expect even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

[@ShockeyChuster]

Oh hey, Its a rare vlog sighting. :P

[@Swishyhead]

I wonder what it would be like to tour the battleship with one of the men that served on it during the war?

[@sabrinahaid7082]

I toured which ever ship was in London on the River Themes back in about 1999 ish (it was for new years whatever year we were there). My big take-a-way ---- TIGHT quarters. We got so tickled. I was touring with 3 teenaged boys all the size of football players and me (not so little bittie) That was a hoot

[@Firestar1992]

I wonder how many ships have been named the USS (insert state name here). Like, there are only 50 states and probably hundreds of ships in our Navy, so it feels like they might duplicate a few. My brother was stationed on the USS Tennessee, a submarine. Makes me wonder if there is a USS Tennessee carrier/battleship.

[@MissAshCash97]

Some ships are named for major cities/capitals in the States or after important people, like the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV-42) aircraft carrier or the USS Salem (CA-139) heavy cruiser named for Salem, MA. Though some names have been reused when either the previous ship with the same name has been sunk or retired. This is what I've noticed

[@Fooseeker]

There isn't another USS Tennessee, just the sub.

[@zairn5685]

Firestar1992 Actually, there was another USS Tennessee, a battleship during WWII. She was scrapped following the war. There was also a CSS Tennessee, a Confederate ironclad that was sold for scrap metal after being captured. Which adds another wrinkle; consider the Confederate ships also named after states. The CSS Virginia and CSS Alabama were notable. Unrelated, but fun fact; Franklin Buchanan commanded CSS Tennessee and CSS Virginia. He apparently had no relation to President Buchanan, though.

[@chidagamer6497]

@@MissAshCash97 Or like the USS Indianapolis, which I remember because I used to live in Indianapolis; and also it's the ship that Quint talks about in that one scene in "Jaws," which is one of my favorite movies. What he says about it is true, incidentally: it was sunk after delivering the parts of the atom bomb, and some of the survivors of the initial sinking were attacked by sharks.

[@TheRealMrMic]

Almost Christmas vlogs

[@Shane_Leath]

Yeah being tall and being on a Ship doesn't mesh well, when I was on a vacation in California Dad and I took a tour of the USS Midway and while below deck I forgot to duck one time and my forehead slammed into the bulkhead. A loud dull thud rattled across the ship and everyone there was like "Ooooh."

[@MajorKerina]

Wait, you sometimes have a "dead cat" on the vlog camera? I've heard of those before. Neat :)

[@stephenvlog]

I started carrying a tiny one for the vlog camera back in August, I just never announced it. Now we can film outside when it's windy and the audio is still usable!

[@MajorKerina]

StephenVlog Cool! All the ones I've seen look enormous. :)

[@blindbandit7297]

Yay vlogs!!!!

[@CardinalBirbRose]

oh boy only 19 days until christmas!!

[@RevRun14]

VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! VLOGS! WOOO! VLOGS! Hi again Stephen. Sorry about that.

[@ezcyberpup]

only almost 5 months behind now

[@iamnoone21]

This ship feels like a city I wonder if the cobblers, butchers, barbers, dentists etc were trained and expected to fight

[@yoshithekid18]

Is it just me or do those barbershop seats look like b1 battle droids from star wars?

[@donniezoller8451]

Can I get excited for the vlogs getting caught up yet? Is it safe?

[@guguig9746]

Prooobably a little too soon to get properly excited, but I have faith in Stephen, he'll do it, eventually :)

[@aparks1437]

oh, hello vlogs. how you have been doing?

[@julissamedel9438]

Hi

[@anthonybell5666]

hey dec. 6th is my birthday! lol

[@captainziggy82]

Anthony Bell same dude lol

[@VinnyGPlays]

Oh yeah vlogs exist

[@NicholasASchwartz]

Anyone else get creepy Weeping Angel vibes from all those cardboard cutout people, or was it just me?

[@niall62]

Good to be back?

[@noahkaser6347]

Ive stayed on the ship and its freakin haunted af

[@noahkaser6347]

I got it confused it with another ship

[@pipton1]

I hear it's parked up there for tax purposes..

[@daydreamglitterbug3439]

Pipton That and it’s named the USS North Carolina, so they had to put it in North Carolina. Wilmington was the logical place to put it as it is at the mouth of the Cape Fear River.

[@shadowrush001]

i heard the SS Carolina was parked there for tax purposes. oh wait, wrong ship.

[@TheRollsen]

To answer the question, no, i havent been on one YET

[@renesanchez7290]

Oh yeah these exist lol

[@barbbrown5576]

is she haunted?

[@Blastercadre]

Stephen Please! It's a ship. I know it seems silly, but calling it a boat would be like calling you a married nerd who likes taking selfies. It really destroys the grandeur and complexity of the distinction. Sorry, I just had to.

[@guguig9746]

As someone who's not a native speaker, I don't see the difference between ship and boat. Could you elaborate ? I'm always looking forward for new knowledge when it comes to languages.

[@Blastercadre]

Glad to! Boat is the more generic term, and has a connotation of being lesser than ship. The word ship is more specific. Ships usually have the capacity to transport cargo, passengers, and potentially boats, as well as tending to be larger than boats. Large enough ships can carry other ships. Large enough boat can carry other boats, but boats can never carry a ship. Examples are most Navy vessels i.e. battleships, carriers, cruisers, and destroyers as well as civilian vessels i.e. container ships and cruise ships. Hope that helps.

[@guguig9746]

Thanks a lot for the answer!! Re-listening to the vlog, I feel like Stephen used the word ship more than boat, but either way, I'm glad to have learned new things. I'll use the words properly from now on.
