Another great video Tom. I hope to visit the 08 level on my next Firepower tour with Dr. John Scholes in the spring. Thanks to all Battleship Cove staff and volunteers for your ongoing restoration work on " Big Mamie ".

Any plans to restore flag plot and the flag bridge? When originally built, her bridge was completely open!

It would really be nice to see Massachusetts do the same thing to the battleship Massachusetts the North Carolina did the North Carolina and that's instead of painting her solid and peace time Gray put her back to the camouflage color that she was in 45. And instead of letting her decks bleach out anymore in the natural wood color painting them to see blue that they once were during the war. Just think I'd make her look a little bit more special than just everything up there is peacetime Gray I can understand it with the Kennedy because she's representing herself as she appeared in the late '60s the '70s. But the Massachusetts is still pretty much as she was during world war II only slight changes from things that have been removed it'd be nice to see her being in wartime colors from 45 in the measure 22 scheme I think it would really make her stand out.

Never see ever a battle ship again hell I would bring most back, mass. North Carolina, Alabama. Two Iowa's..

[@lanielorah8021]

Use two Iowa's as parts.

Seems to me like the 0-8 level would be better to conn the ship for non-combat operations for a couple of reason, vision and crew comfort. I realize the helmsman doesn't steer the ship but responds to orders and therefore doesn't need to see where the ship is going. That being said the officer(s) in charge would have much better situational awareness up there. I'm an air force guy so my knowledge of operating a ship is zero.
