Guys, if you are going to make these videos, do something to reduce the wind noise, and maybe buy a tripod, they are only $20.00. I think military equipment in general and military ships in particular are the coolest things in the world, and I wish all of you would make better videos about them.
the vid. is too short. frigates and destroyers take a couple minutes to go from full speed to "all stop" or "full reverse". the whole ship shuders up and down like it's going to break apart.
for the 9 years i was in the navy (USS Dale CG-19, USS Franks Cable AS-40) I always heard other sailor call the ships him or his dependin how the sentence is being said, noting that 98 % of the ship are named after males. The ones that would call them her, well they just get confused as if you are taking about a car or something.
Clarification: Its an old naval saying.. not sure who said it, but it refers to why ships are referred to as "she". Because they both cost the same to keep in paint (makeup for the women, paint for the ships) and powder (gun powder for the ships, and whatever kind of perfumed talk women used at the time).

You are incorrect. Arleigh Burke class destroyers use gas turbine propulsion, so it takes seconds, not minutes, to do what is seen in this video.

You, TinCan, are indeed correct. Gas turbines, and the Crashbacks take less than 30 seconds on the DDG (DDG 81) on which I was.

Because a ship, like a lady, never shows her bottom in public.

Because it costs so much to keep them in paint and powder.

yeah, amaising...
The engineroom proforms a crash back, and she slows just like that...
Titanic took just under half a mile to stop. She saw the iceburg at the quarter mile, and weighed 46 thousand tons. There was no WAY she could stop.
Still, I just LOVE the USS Higgin's monuverability.
