LEGACY OF A TITAN

[@kambrindrew]

I love these videos in museums, but I rarely have enough time to sit and watch them. This is a great way to see them.

[@USSALABAMA60]

Thanks! I was ecstatic to both produce this video and make sure it was put out to the public!

[@mdb831]

I'm so lucky to have a South Dakota class near my home. Long live BB-59 USS Massachusetts and BB-60 USS Alabama. God bless the men who served on these iron giants.

[@rs8638]

Fantastic job.

[@davedennis6042]

One of the richest highlights of my life is the day we spent going through the USS Alabama. We went back north to Meridian MS that night but I wanted to go back to the ship the next day. Something about those monsters just draw you in.

[@GoodGnewsGary]

This has got to be one of the most underrated channels. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to the day I can visit.

[@USSALABAMA60]

Thank you! That means a lot to us!

[@DragonFireEngneering]

I grew up in South Dakota and visited the USS South Dakota memorial several times. It was always a bit sad to see how little of her was left. I am glad Alabama avoided the South Dakota’s fate and is still here today representing the class along with USS Massachusetts.

[@USSALABAMA60]

We've been in contact with her memorial to help them in any way we can. As well we've been in contact with Indiana University to help them preserve and keep the portions left of Indiana in the best shape possible.

[@kentfrohock402]

From Iowa, taken several people to visit her, my mother grew up in Alabama, so it's special.

[@USSALABAMA60]

Alabama is a special ship. Another Iowan was fond of her, Bob Feller, the Heater from Van Meter himself!

good video

[@MrRoadchaser]

Hope to see some New Jersey style videos from you guys soon 😁

Was lucky enough to spend the night on the battleship when I was a boy scout. One of my most memorable trips. Been several times since and everytime it still baffles me that these are on the smaller side of battleships. Found the channel through the battleship NJ page. Thank you for all you do to preserve these beautiful ships.

[@USSALABAMA60]

While the smallest class of fast battleships the South Dakotas are actually the third largest class of battleship the US ever built!

[@davidmckimmon7616]

Great documentary! Thank you for posting. Thank you for preserving and maintaining this important piece of history. We are rapidly losing our WWII veterans (1st hand accounts of the war). It is essential that future generations have these resources available to them. I highly recommend taking a couple of days and visiting The USS Alabama Battleship Park and The National Naval Aviation Museum (if it ever re-opens to the public) in nearby Pensacola.

[@USSALABAMA60]

Thank you, we value our crew to no end. Every loss is very much felt.

[@RailPreserver2K]

I just want to say thank you to yall for making my visit memorable. To date battleship Alabama is the first and only battleship I've been on.

[@USSALABAMA60]

We're happy to hear it was such a positive experience! We take great care to make sure our artifacts and the grounds are well kept. Please come back and see us.

[@garycb8592]

Enjoy the videos. I was interested to see the USS Indiana mentioned. Father-in-law was a plank owner.

[@USSALABAMA60]

We wish we had some oral histories with the men of Indiana. I have a particular interest in Battleship Indiana. I've worked with Indiana University to make sure her artifacts are painted appropriately.

[@PeterG1975]

Wonderful documentary. A blessing that she is still with us.

[@USSALABAMA60]

We work hard everyday to keep here and our entire collection for preserved for future generations.

[@mrjimmorris1]

Great job! I have had the pleasure of spending the night onboard, with my Scout troop several times over the years. Always a lot of fun!

[@georgeking6356]

You have done a great job documenting the story of my uncle Art Muffett's ship. He was a shell striker in a 5" turret. The one negative thing that happened aboard his ship was the accident when one five inch turret fired into the rear of another after overriding a training stop. Six men died and I have always wondered why no one talks about the accident and thereby dishonors the 6 brave men who died in it. I am not one to make a big deal out of such an incident of this sort but still believe these 6 men deserve to be honored. There is a plaque on the turret honoring them but that is it. Unless you go to the ship (I've been twice) you might never learn of this sad truth. Thanks for your work.

[@MrTexasDan]

Great ship. Fantastic museum park!

[@ThorsonWiles]

Great ship, amazing museum. When I was there, knowing that is wasn't very good, bought the movie USS Seaviper. It was a few years ago now, but I greatly enjoyed my visit to Battleship Park.

[@jeremywilson4326]

Awesome documentary. I've been planning to go to the Alabama . I hope to make it this spring. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Jeremy in Alabama.

[@ВасяПупкин-з3ж2е]

Great video!! You should make MORE videos!!

[@taylormarzano3677]

My Mother and her 2 sisters along with my Grandparents (mothers parents) helped bring this behemoth home with their donations. I still remember the stories they told. I ❤ BB60

[@Mistaking03]

I had the pleasure of being able to spend the night a few times in boy scouts back in the 90's. It was an amazing experience. We did a game of hide and go seek. Talk about the ultimate game lol. Love the ship. Its awesome to see as your coming across I-10 Bridge through the alabama border.

[@scottewilliams4706]

Make some more videos, they are great. I came and visited in 2016, very great tour and military park. Just a suggestion but you could take a hint on videos from the USS New Jersey videos. Scotte in Phx. Az.

[@johnb8440]

This is too well produced to have this few views.

[@USSALABAMA60]

Thank you! Mr. Culpepper and myself work very hard on these!

[@johnb8440]

@@USSALABAMA60 the voicing and footage are great and it's a story worth telling. I only just subscribed. I didn't even know that you had a channel.

[@windborne8795]

51 months is not 3 years and 5 months. I am assuming that you meant 4 years and 3 months. God bless all those who have served! Especially so, the Greatest Generation! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

there are but few things as unfair as the sinking of the nagato, and people still wonder why i dont like americans, how could a people be so twisted? how could anybody think that would be acceptable?
