The audio is annoying, but they talk about the politics of aircraft carriers, and their vulnerability vs. the cost of attacking or destroying one.
A giant aircraft carrier with all that fire power needs that little gun at the end of the video?
That little gun is on all capital ships and can chew a missle to dust

Did the USS New Jersey tour and got to get to check out the Phalanx and Harpoons systems. It was a rainy, nasty day and I got to basically tour the ship all by myself. Great day.

Went to a wedding in Delaware last year, wanted to see the battleship on the way home. The girl I brought with me was not excited about a side trip to Camden. Maybe in the spring.

In all fairness, no one really gets excited for a trip to Camden.

She lives in Nevada, she told me she didn't want to die in Jersey. From what I heard the area by the battleship and aquarium is pretty nonfatal but the Camaro rims might disappear.

Parking and the area around there are fine. I checked out the Aquarium after the ship and that was a waste of time. Nothing special.

Now their government will lock 'em up for an untoward word to the Huns, or anybody for that matter.

Also was at Midway. Also the last fleet carrier sunk during the war.
