00:00.000 --> 00:02.111
there haven't been battleships in the

00:02.111 --> 00:04.167
navy's fleet for decades . However ,

00:04.167 --> 00:06.056
some troops wanted to change that

00:06.056 --> 00:08.278
Airman first class Jeff Lander shows us

00:08.278 --> 00:10.167
what these service members did to

00:10.167 --> 00:12.500
reintroduce the battleship into service .

00:12.500 --> 00:15.260
Today was an epic moment in cardboard

00:15.260 --> 00:18.660
and duct tape history and we will sing

00:18.660 --> 00:20.850
songs of the great duct tape warriors

00:20.860 --> 00:24.630
of today . They paddled , they

00:24.640 --> 00:26.960
want and they say

00:27.740 --> 00:30.240
units from across the Kaiser slaughter

00:30.240 --> 00:32.470
and military community work together to

00:32.470 --> 00:34.692
build their boats from scratch . We got

00:34.692 --> 00:36.859
a lot of guidance from our Navy chiefs

00:36.859 --> 00:39.026
but otherwise we just kinda used a lot

00:39.026 --> 00:41.360
of duck to . Some boats were destined

00:41.360 --> 00:44.050
to rule the seas . Well others

00:44.050 --> 00:46.420
frantically tried to stay afloat . Not

00:46.430 --> 00:48.652
all of them were seaworthy but they all

00:48.652 --> 00:50.874
came with a boatload of creativity with

00:50.874 --> 00:53.041
names like the festering abscess , the

00:53.041 --> 00:55.550
gate are done and the floaters but

00:55.560 --> 00:57.616
everyone had the same thing on their

00:57.616 --> 00:59.671
mind . I don't think the competition

00:59.671 --> 01:01.838
stands a chance and taking first place

01:01.838 --> 01:04.100
was the USs piece of ship that's with a

01:04.100 --> 01:06.290
P . But it wasn't about the voyage to

01:06.290 --> 01:08.500
the end of the pool that mattered . It

01:08.500 --> 01:11.420
was about working together to chris in

01:11.420 --> 01:13.480
a dream . Airman First class Jeff
