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 Mothball Fleet is pretty damned impressive! From what I understand
they do a lot of sturgeon fishing around the ships.
