CAVASSHIPS Podcast [Jun 07, ’24] Ep: 148 Keeping New Jersey Shipshape

Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week… Battleships aren’t often in the news, but over the past few weeks one of them certainly has been - the USS NEW JERSEY. The ship’s drydocking in Philadelphia has attracted widespread media attention and worldwide interest. Ryan Szimanski, curator for the battleship, will bring us up to date on what’s been going on, what lies ahead - and what some of the surprises have been as the more than 80-year-old ship has been out of the water for the first time in decades.
