How Do You Clean the Windows of the Navigation Bridge?

[@Token_Civilian]

Safety harness, $200. Seeing Ryan clutching onto the ship while out there in a position to clean the windows.....priceless.

[@Tedjenkins55]

100% argee, Well done to Ryan I don't think he was very comfortable been out there.

[@toddf9321]

Hi Ryan, I was a Quartermaster my whole time in the Navy. I had cleaned windows using that set-up and rig. You are right about a waist harness and we would run the line around the waist high safety line bar. Also, there was a Safety Observer above that adjusted and secured the lanyard. Of course, I was never part of the crew on New Jersey, but I had to do this on an Aircraft Carrier, a Cruiser, a Sub-Tender, and one very modern destroyer. Not bad in port; scary AF at sea during rough seas or launching aircraft!

[@Roestikrokette]

wow, thats interesting! always best to have a insider :) thx

[@JacksonPlant]

Me too I hated it.

[@jm-um1tx]

The windows roll down, why didn't you lower one window and clean the two on either side? A sponge and squeegee on a long stick seems like it would make this easy?

[@toddf9321]

@@jm-um1tx Ballistic glass (armored) windows don't roll down and are supremely heavy if they did. The Cruiser had some window that could be opened, but one has to ask the OOD for permission to do so, plus get the Navigator and CO grant that option while underway to begin with. Pesky thing that chain of command.

I was a Quatermaster on USS Saratoga. I had to wash windows at times. We did have windshield wipers but that pretty much smeared the salt and jet fuel residue all over the window. If I recall there was a small catwalk to stand on instead of a bar like the New Jersey. We had two lanyards at waist level , one had to be attached at all times. I was not that uncomfortable . Worst part was the folks inside pointing out the spots you missed. Sometimes they would just mess with you..........😁

[@grast5150]

[@davidhawthorne7423]

I was a Signalman on USS Tripoli LPH-10. I was ordered to wash windows at sea once. Two waist lanyards and a small catwalk is what I recall, along with windy conditions and the ship rolling side to side. This would have been 50 years ago in West Pac.

[@johntrottier1162]

In 1970 I joined the USS St. Louis for a 3 month at sea training tour before Nuc Pwr School. As an electrician, one of my assigned jobs was maintenance on the bridge windshield wipers. On that ship, the windows could be opened, and by sitting on the window ledge, you could lean over and service the wiper gearbox and motor on the next window. This was only done in port and was not a popular task, so "the new guy" got stuck with it. We were working our way around and I finished the last wiper. As it slid off the window ledge, my belt caught the switch lever for the ships horn, cutting loose about a 10 second blast. By the time I got my belt unstuck, I had a full Commander (the Navigator) in my face demanding name and division and informing me that he had better never see me on HIS bridge again. Thankfully the Engineering Officer had a sense of humor, all all that happened the next time he saw me was to ask "What do you know about ships horns". Fun times

[@t3nosanfran803]

During the Vietnam War, I was a US NAVY Quartermaster (Navigation Div.) serving aboard a [converted to] Galveston Class cruiser ship. There came the occasion when after several hours after attempting to evade a seasonal typhoon in the Tonkin Gulf, we reached somewhat calmer waters in the Pacific. Therein , I was ordered to clean the windows outside the ship's bridge---which was located on the O-4 level, right above the dual 5" gun turret. The Boatswain's mate supplied me with what resembled an arborist harness that wrapped & belted around my waist and which had a left and right-side steel snap-hook with about 4 to 6 in. rope-leads on each that were fastened to the belt. Also, I was tethered by a long rope to a stationary steel pole which was monitored and controlled by another Quartermaster / seaman who duty was to keep an eye on me in case I slipped off the pipe-rails (like those depicted in the video). I was also given a pale with fresh water, a squeegee and a thick rag to thoroughly clean the build-up of sea-salt on the windows. All went fine; even when I reached the center-windows. Mind you, the ship was moving and undulating on ocean waters the entire time. Never lost my footing. Besides, at 19 years old, I found it an exciting and exhilarating task.

Was there some place a navigator could take sextant sights in combat conditions without having to go out on the open deck? And how much did all that change over her various deployments?

Certainly a little more difficult than cleaning the windows for the Captain's Bridge on an Essex Carrier where you can use the roof of Flag Bridge and a walkway on the port side. Flag Bridge would need a lift as there is nothing in place but then not that high. If you want to clean some windows then I'll introduce you to the windows of Pri-Fly where you can have a clean fall five stories down to the flight deck. There is a grated walkway and hand rail but the windows slant out from the top past your leaning back head.

I just thought of another question. How many tons of paint do you think are on the ship? Exterior, interior, total. That would be an interesting fact to know.

[@davea4245]

Having worked 3 decades in a shipyard I did discover that the weight of paint is figured in on a formula based on square footage of painted surface. They usually never paint inside the DB (double bottom tanks) or the ST (side tanks) just to save weight. There is also a calculated formula for the weight that the welding adds to the ships as well. On the blue prints the thickness of the paint is specified and the size of a weld is listed. They are inspected and the bosses do get a bit excited if you over paint or over weld. I worked on building mainly bulk carrying cargo ships that the yard build from keel up.

Did it ever, or does it now use sacrificial zinc to prevent or slow rusting? Did they ever replace the boilers or turbines? Or were they able to maintain them by just replacing parts? If so. How easy or difficult were they to maintain? And how easy or difficult would it be to replace the boilers or turbines if they had too? I guess that is enough questions for now. That should give you a couple of more videos, if you have not already covered these topics.

[@BattleshipNewJersey]

Here's a video on the zincs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWiThXmuZ7GBZ7M The ship was constantly being painted while in service, and while in a yard period she would have been completely repainted. They never replaced an entire boiler, but parts were replaced along the way. They did daily maintenance on that equipment to keep it in good order. It would be basically impossible to remove the entire boiler from the ship, they wouldn't do it.

The other one was with the expansion part that Ryan had, he was hooked to a rope on a sloped roof, slipped rolled to the edge and went over a few feet, with the expansion part of the lanyard slowing down his fall. I went to the edge and slung down a rope to get him to the ground. The difference, is that little section that Ryan had it will slow him down before the jolt, but the old ones were merciless with jarring people that is where you want those spoil attached to the rope. I do not want to think of all the asbestos roof projects that I was on due to being the one inspector/ management planner and project monitor that heights did not bother me for the company I worked for.
