Walking on the USS Massachusetts in Battleship Cove
What a day visiting Battleship Cove, going on and into a battleship and a submarine for the first time was quite the experience. It turned into a wonderful learning experience as well. Please visit Battleshipcove.org for more information. Everything was shot today using the Osmo pocket, I'm really enjoying this piece of equipment.
Thank you to Steve at Battleship Cove and the Fall River police Dept for all their support with the drone shots and making this event happen the way it turned out.

U.S.S. Massachusetts. Battleship Cove. Fall River, MA.
I made a quick trip of walking around the outside of the phenomenal battle wagon. A true enforcer of Democracy.
This was taken in the Summer of 2016. To my surprise, there was not a crowd of people on board. You can view everything from the bottom of the battleship to the command bridge. This truly should be a National Monument.
Plan on spending a minimum of four hours, as there are many other ships and a submarine. Amazing that our dedicated U.S. Navy sailors, could work in such close quarters on the WWII submarine. Made me wanna watch Torpedo Run.
The galley area of the battleship...is immense. Dozens of ovens to cook fresh food for every sailor.
Take a look at the people, in the video, near the 16 inch guns. The size is incredible. And the guns were made at Watervliet Arsenal, in Albany, New York. America's oldest arsenal, which also has an outstanding museum.
As I toured the battleship, on my own, I came to the realization that the men who served on the USS Massachusetts, are truly the Greatest Generation.
~Thank you for watching.

Out and about adventuring and exploring and decided to stop at Battleship Cove and check out some old wartime relics of the sea. You just can’t put into words the complexity of these massive vessels. Magnificent and majestic in every aspect. Stop in, come aboard and let your imagination take off as you slip back in time to an era gone by. Happy Exploring ????????????????????
The largest vessel in the Battleship Cove fleet, the battleship USS Massachusetts (BB-59) is the centerpiece of the collection. Known as Big Mamie to her crewmembers during World War II, a battleship of the second South Dakota class, was the seventh ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of the sixth state. Her keel was laid down 20 July 1939 at the Fore River Shipyard of Quincy, Massachusetts. She was launched on 23 September 1941 sponsored by Mrs. Charles Francis Adams III, and commissioned on 12 May 1942 at Boston, Massachusetts, with Captain Francis E.M. Whiting in command.
Massachusetts received eleven battle stars for World War II service and earned a reputation as a Work Horse of the Fleet. During World War II, no United States Navy personnel were killed in action while aboard Massachusetts. It is said that Big Mamie fired both the first US Navy 16-inch (406 mm) shells of World War II (at the Vichy French battleship Jean Bart in the Naval Battle of Casablanca during Operation Torch); and the last (at a Japanese steel works at Hamamatsu), hours before the war ended. USS Massachusetts is one of only eight United States battleships remaining of the many that were produced in the first half of the 20th century.
USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. (DD-850) is a Gearing-class destroyer of the United States Navy. The ship was named after Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., a naval aviator, son of the former Ambassador to Britain Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and older brother of future President John F. Kennedy. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. is on display as a museum ship in Fall River, Massachusetts. Among the highlights of its service are the blockade of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the afloat recovery teams for Gemini 6 and Gemini 7.
USS Lionfish (SS-298), a Balao-class submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy named for the lionfish, a scorpaenoid fish found in the West Indies and the tropical Pacific. After completing her shakedown cruise off New England, she began her first war patrol in Japanese waters on 1 April 1945. Ten days later, she dodged two torpedoes fired by a Japanese submarine and on 1 May destroyed a Japanese schooner with her deck gun. After a rendezvous with the submarine USS Ray, she transported B-29 survivors to Saipan and then made her way to Midway Island for replenishment.
On 2 June she started her second war patrol, and on 10 July fired torpedoes at a surfaced Japanese submarine, after which Lionfish's crew heard explosions and observed smoke through their periscope. She subsequently fired on two more Japanese submarines and ended her second and last war patrol performing lifeguard duty (the rescue of downed fliers) off the coast of Japan. When hostilities ended on 15 August she headed for San Francisco and was decommissioned at Mare Island Navy Yard on 16 January 1946.
Lionfish was recommissioned on 31 January 1951, and headed for the East Coast for training cruises. After participating in NATO exercises and a Mediterranean cruise, she returned to the East Coast and was decommissioned at the Boston Navy Yard on 15 December 1953. In 1960, the submarine was called to duty again, this time serving as a reserve training submarine at Providence, Rhode Island. In 1971, she was stricken from the Navy Register, and in 1973, she was unveiled for permanent display.
Hiddensee
Originally commissioned by the East German Navy as Rudolf Egelhofer, Hiddensee is a Tarantul-class corvette built at the Petrovsky Shipyard in 1984, located near the former Soviet (now Russian) city of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). An example of a Soviet-built missile corvette, Hiddensee was designed to oppose any naval threat to the East German coast, and to fulfill this mission carried long-range Styx anti-ship missiles and an array of defensive weapons designed to ensure her own survival.
Following the reunification of Germany, Hiddensee served with the Federal German Navy until her decommissioning in April 1991. Shortly thereafter she was reactivated and transferred to the U.S. Navy. Joined briefly by a crew of 20 former East German sailors, a small civilian U.S. crew conducted extensive testing with the vessel at the U.S. Navy's Solomons, Maryland facility in the Patuxent River. After 50 underway deployments in the Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Capes areas, Navy budget cutbacks severely curtailed operations, but she continued on as a research vessel until April 1996.
Hiddensee joined the Battleship Cove fleet in Fall River on June 14, 1997. She is moored on the port side of USS Lionfish.
