Agreed, so many ships I wish were preserved, USS Enterprise, HMS Warspite, a four stacker destroyer and a standard type battleship. Some of the cool unique stuff from the polish destroyers or the Australian scrap iron flotilla. Japanese cruisers are interesting, the pazershif (not sure on the spelling) pocket battleships, there's just so many cool ships from the battleship era

The USS Connecticut sub is probably cooler than they'll let us know for a long time, the seawolf subs are legit crazy impressive

I've commented about this before both here and on YouTube, I am 100% biased about the Battleship Massachusetts, because I am a bay stater, a Masshole if you will, but I genuinely think that while there may be bigger, more impressive battleships (though not many), out there, they aren't "better" ships. Big Mammie did all the things battleships are meant to do, completely crushed it in those roles, saw combat in the Atlantic and Pacific, took hits as she dished them out, dodged torpedoes, and yet never lost a soul to enemy action. She rained hell on her foes again and again, first and last 16" shots of the war for America, and still she brought her boys home safe, that makes Massachusetts better in my opinion. The Iowa class ships are beautiful, Texas is old and storied, the North Carolina was a carrier's best friend with the AA she would throw up (making her allies think she caught fire because she was guns blazing) but Big Mammie got her hands dirty in scraps all over the world, from flagship in operation torch duking it out with shore battery's and the disadvantaged but still very dangerous Jean Bart, to the last big guns firing on Kamashi hitting industry on the Japanese Home islands before the end of the war. She earned her rest as a museum, she has stories to tell, I'm glad we've given her a second role in retirement to tell them.

Yeah but you can't just visit an ssn like you can a lot of battleships the older USS Connecticut was a pretty storied BB, it was flagship of the great white fleet which was the best peacetime paint scheme for warships ever it was a good looking ship.

Really, didn't know that, the Intrepid was one of the best museum experiences I've had, as someone who loves naval history, aviation and spaceflight history it ticked all my boxes, I was a kid in a candy shop.

Edit My wife said to add to this that she is not a battleship person but that she loved the intrepid, and to tell y'all if you want to do a military history thing but still something the wife and kids will enjoy the intrepid is good, so much cool stuff.

Probably because that's already happened a lot, but there are things we get right, science is an ongoing process, it's why scientists are very reluctant to say things definitively and instead say stuff like "research indicates" or "it's likely that" or so on to that extent. I think this makes science more trustworthy, of course media often skips that and says things like "scientists say chocolate causes cancer" or something when in actuality it'd be more like "mice who were exposed to this chemical that can also be found in small amounts in the cacao plant had higher rates of cancer than a control group that wasn't exposed to the chemical" and this sort of misrepresenting makes science seem less credible. It's why media literacy is important. A lot of what we "know" isn't things we know as fact but things that we have indications of and science acknowledges that, unfortunately popular media often ignores that.
