“Where the skies are blue!”
“Sweet home alabama”
“Lord im coming home to you”
I was about to coment that… Lovely song!
While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
@A J YESSS!
@A J kid Rock was the worst thing to come out of that musical era. This song was just the height of his derivative lack of substance. I’ve never met anyone with an iq over 100 that enjoyed kid rock. Change my mind.
Having toured this bad boy down in mobile, i can say the pictures do not do it justice. This thing is a monster. Take you hours to tour it all.
It was a really cool experience walking around her.
Been planning to visit the ship this summer if I can, but since I live in north east Alabama, that be a trip to mobile. Still the uss Alabama was my favorite ship, not just the name she has, but her actual history
i was in US for a month and managed to get to Alabama and see USS Alabama in battleship park.
all i can say that she’s a beauty.
I love my Alabama. Especially before the CV rework when I could delete all T8 squadrons before they could drop and 80% of T10 squadrons with its devastating AA. Good earner.
Man I miss that God Tier AA.
@Wolfe1138 Man I miss AA
When I was a kid, they had “lead dammit, lead!” Stenciled on the aa mounts.
The USS Alabama is a beautiful ship. I’ve toured it twice in Mobile Bay with my kids. They couldn’t get over the size of it. Oh yeah: I’m not Dave!
of course you are Dave, it’s Jingles and he has deemed you Dave. :p
My wife and I had the honor of visiting this old girl in Mobile Alabama! Nice to see her on here!!
Up until last year when my grandfather passed away, my dad’s side of the family lived in Mobile. Every time we’d go to visit, I’d get a least one look at the ship as we’d drive past on the bridge over Mobile Bay. Even from the bridge though, it doesn’t look NEARLY as big as it does when you actually drive up to the thing in person. If you’ve never seen one of these ships yourself, imagine standing at the base of a really long ten story apartment block. That’ll give you some idea of how fucking enormous they are. Frankly the models in WoWs make them look tiny.
Take a look at the size of islands and buildings in the game. By no standard does the ships look small
I actually visited USS Alabama few years ago, very impressive.
When I was in the Boy Scouts we spent a night on the USS Alabama, touring and having the run of the ship for the day before and after. It was huge and we had a lot of fun. Despite how big it was the bunk rooms were very cramped. They stacked beds (more like hammocks) 3, sometimes 4 bunks high, and not much hallway space in between. It would have been interesting to see just how many people lived and slept in one of those bunk rooms.
Jingles went into great length explaining how the South Dakotas were more well armored and compact vs the North Carolinas but he forgot to mention that since they had more crew and less living space they were some of the most cramped bbs in service.
I had the pleasure of being assigned to this ship for a week whilst my ship, CVT Lexington, was at sea. My shipmate and I were given the master key which allowed us to enter every space from stem to stern and top to bottom while we gathered spare parts such as pumps and valves for the Lady Lex. The auxiliary room with the two triple shell, triple effect evaporators was an amazing sight I can’t forget.
I volunteered on the Alabama a few years ago and got to go places that the tour guests don’t get to go. Awesome ship.
As a young boy living in Alabama i loved the Lucky A. She was the main reason i got into the study of history. I loved being able too slide through the ammo drop hatches on the 16″ turrets.
I am with the Friesland on this one. There was no reason to think there would be more than one DD in the cap.
Jingles: “…and there’s the North Carolina…”
Me: “are you sure about that old man? I’m pretty sure that’s a Lepanto.”
Constellation? Really? That thing is nuts if you play her properly
