This one is pretty good if you like Navy ships like I do.
Pause it when it gets to the USS Iowa and note the shockwaves from those
16 incher's!

I fish next to the Iowa at the Mothball Fleet in the Carquinez Straits.
Amazing how little freeboard the ship has. Family friend of my parents was
the smallest guy on the Battleship he served on in WW2. Part of his job was
cleaning the barrels. They would pull him through the guns with a wire
brush in hand.
