They went down in history due to the bravery crews

They are the ships that deserve to be called

the battleships define the mines effectiveness in the naval fleet

And major sea power in the first half of the 20th century

these vessels incorporated the latest scientific and technical achievements

the battleships were becoming real sea Giants

to put a stop to the naval arms race a conference was convened in Washington in 1922

the major see powers reached an agreement to reduce the number battleships

limit their primary armament caliber the displacement and other characteristics

despite the strict limitations imposed by the Treaty

scientific progress allowed participating countries to continuously upgrade the speed

the armor on the armament up their battleships

the US battleships and the South Dakota Class one of the most successful examples are the new design approach

we're standing on the deck in a battleship USS Alabama maybe sixty there

Took over 3000 men and women working 24 hours a day

30 months to build a ship she was launched February 16 1942 *

she was commissioned and into the United States Navy on August 16th 1942

primary armament: 9 MK.6 guns in three turrets

Range of fire: armor-piercing shells 33 km

Dual-purpose artillery: 10 MK.28 turret with 2 MK. 12 guns each

Anti-Aircraft Artillery: 12 quadruple Bofors guns

Primary armament turrets: from 184 to 457 mm

US engineers managed to give the new battleships quite a high-speed

And impressive sustainability the vessels were agile enough to escort aircraft carriers

and the cruising range allow them to sail halfway around the globe

the key to this insurance was the main power plant to the Alabama

much as you can see, basic what appears to be operational turbans and steam generators the actual boilers are…

When fully operational, the peak can pass to 230,000 brake horsepower

you know that's added drove over 45,000 tons

or 90,000,000 pound ship plus 31 miles an hour, 28 knots

USS Alabama’s armaments is worthy of special attention

Only 2 ship classes will more powerfully arm

The newest US Iowa Class and the Japanese Yamato Class, the biggest battle ships in the world

The Alabama's main battery consisted of nine guns with 16 inches caliber

Installed in 2 forward turrets and 1 aft turret

The primary elements magazine is located two levels below the main deck

This is the area called barbette and this is one of the stations where the big 16 inches shells were loaded and put up a hoist above me here

and loaded into the big guns to be fired, big 16 inches guns

you see the front and the back a battleship

it was very very difficult work, very hot conditions in here

The pictures that around this room, the photographs shows many big kind burly man with big arms

Because you need a lot of strength to work in here

and then put them into the hoist and send them up to be fired

A sophisticated system with gyro, scope and analog calculators was responsible for targeting

Gunners supplied the system with necessary data, such as Target characteristics, speed and direction of the wind

USS Alabama had from two to three floatplanes on board for air reconnaissance and spotting

when the ship was firing the sure targets

Surface targets were tracked and aimed with the help of radars

This place for radars, racial aid and radio contact all came together

and so what you have here this kinda brain trust for the nervous system with the ship

so all the information was collected here and dispersed to the rest to the ship

the dual-purpose MK. 12 guns were designed to destroy both enemy ships and aircrafts

they use shells equipped with non-contact fuses

That dramatically increasing the efficiency of the anti-aircraft fire

the battleships anti-aircraft armaments during the war

also included ever-increasing number 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikon automatic guns

headed up anti-aircraft power shut down 22 aircrafts

That’s confirm 22 the crews said they shut down twice that many

to increase the defensive the ship without exceeding the displacement limit

the armor protected only the vital component so the vessel

such as the conning tower, the primary armament, machinery spaces

and the rudder gear the ship and remind unarmored

to further save weight an inner armor belt was introduced in the design
