  It's amazing how far this guy has come from his first videos. How much more comfortable on camera he is and what not.

  "And this is the room aboard the big ship where we keep all the smaller ships."

  You may be cool, but you'll never be Ryan Szymanski sliding down a ladder with an "oh hey, didn't see you there" expression on his own personal Iowa-class Battleship-cool.

  As a retired Chief Warrant Officer, I found this video tour fascinating!  On my last ship I shared a stateroom with LT Steve Burke, the ship's weapons officer.  All officers dined in the wardroom.

  I would really enjoy a walk through of some unrestored spaces. So we can see for example what an unrestored engine room looks like compared to the restored engine room.  Would be exciting to see what the scale of the work the volunteers put into these projects.

  Unless you have already done one, a video on the ship models on display on New Jersey would be appreciated.

  I'm a retired Marine myself, I would love to see MarDet living spaces (berthing, heads, Armory, REAC, etc).

  I just imagine a movie scene where someone's in a boring office room, then leaves the room and reveals he's in a dope battleship

  Since my Naval career was from 1972-1993, all of those spaces full of "older outdated equipment" look very normal to me. I guess that means I'm now older and outdated, too. 🤣

  I got a kick out of how the "ship's chief investigator" got an "unaltered office", since he's one of the most disliked persons, since he's investigating anything that went on.  As for the "relationship" between the MAAs and MARDET, I would compare it closer to the MARDET being the SWAT Team to the MAA's "uniformed cops", with the NIS being the "detective" on the ship.  I also noticed how the MARDET Space/Office had the door "cut in half", allowing it to serve as a sort of guard post for the Flag Space, when the Admiral's Flag was aboard.

  It's neat to see the old video of the men working in these spaces as the are being discussed by Ryan.

  The Nice part about videos like this is someday it will be seen by a Former Crew member . The Stories they could tell about a particular room  or space would be Amazing . Thank you Ryan .
