What's It Like To Recommission A Battleship?
What's it like to go aboard a ship that's been closed up for nearly thirty years and help bring it back to life? Bob Lemmond and Marty Palmiere know.
They spent years preparing USS IOWA to rejoin the US Navy's active roster in the early 1980s, and along with Scott Williamson, were there when then-Vice President George HW Bush recommissioned her.
Prepare for some colorful characters telling some completely cool stories - including some unique perspectives of the shakedown cruise - in this week's episode of Scuttlebutt!
