We're busy editing the footage of the turret rotation that we collected from 11 different cameras - including mind-blowing views from inside the turret that have never been seen on film before. Today, we're bringing you several more cool angles from on deck.*
For those who requested it: we also left the audio raw - in this video you'll hear exactly what we heard on deck when the turret turned.
We'd like to welcome all our new subscribers. Glad to have you with us and thanks for your support!
Thanks also to those who've been with us thus far. We appreciate you!
Rotating the turret was the culmination of months of hard work and research by our team, as well as input - both remotely and on site - from Iowa Class battleship veterans. We make these big moves look easy, but they're most definitely not.
* Thanks to Battleship IOWA IT Manager TROY VAIL for his video of the angle looking down on the turret.
