Comments by "Helium Road" (@RCAvhstape) on "USS Olympia - Pint-size battleship in a cruisers skin" video.
Add to that the 1980s tech on the New Jersey, another 40 years later. Tomahawk missile launchers and Phalanx gun mounts.

@jony663 Are you actually related to the Yuengling family that owns the brewery or is that just your internet handle?

@Mugdorna There is also a seaport museum at Penn's Landing near the ship that's worth a visit, and if you can get across the river to see the battleship New Jersey, by all means do it.

That 3D photo at 2:15 is cool. If you pause the video and go to full screen, you can get the 3D effect by crossing your eyes and focusing on the capitol dome in the distance.

We need a Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk type of wealthy patron with a keen interest in history to set up a means of preserving ships like this. I've been aboard Olympia and she is a beautiful ship. Sometimes I imagine what modern US Navy ships would look like in that white and tan paint job. Imagine a Nimitz class carrier and Burke destroyers steaming in formation dressed up like that.
