Battleship New Jersey has a YouTube channel hosted by its curator, Ryan Simanski (sp??). One of the best such channels around. The ship recently went through dry dock, which was well documented in the channel. Fascinating stuff for history buffs.
Cool. I've always loved battleships, obsolete though they may be now. So did my dad. He and a childhood friend constructed 6 - 8 inch long battleships by gluing together hundreds of foil liners from cigarette packs in the 1930's. Conning towers, gun turrets, the whole works, painted military green. With multiple hermetic compartments to prevent immediate sinking by a home made nail gun powered by rubber bands! I still have one of the battleships in a box somewhere. I tried to emulate the method myself using regular aluminum foil, but never completed it. Good times.
