Great Video Captain! That Aircraft Carrier was actually CV-67 USS John F. Kennedy. She was retired in 2009. My cousin was with John F. Kennedy's Carrier Air Wing 3. They were a part of the first air strikes During Desert Storm.

I was in the Navy. Submarines are called boats for some reason. Everything else is a ship. I worked at the Navy Yard for 34 years. Familiar scenery!

The battleship is all the way down where the schuykill river meets the delaware, you just needed to go further south.

One of the commenters said it’s further down by the Surekill river . You have to go back. I would love to see it.❤

Yo Cuz! You were so close to the New Jersey. Go down Broad to KittyHawk Ave (just past the Commandants offices, where URBN HQ is (you were on KittyHawk at one point. Make a right and just go down KittyHawk and you can't miss its there on the left. There's a lot more in the Navy Yard, too, like a hidden Koi Pond in a flooded building and outdoor stairwell, a giant dinosaur sculpture made by a 1st Nation Tribe and so much more. Also, I'm a former Marine, you can call ships, "boats", its not a problem.

You were so close. The carrier is in 16th st and the battleship nj is at 18th and kitty hawk.

I hear Wally Gator got mistakenly released into the swamp with the other alligators, thing is you just can't release a domesticated animal into the wild with wild animals, the other alligators probably beat the shit out of Wally the first day
