Exploring the 'WHISKY': the heat is on!! | Episode 25
In this episode we explore the inside of the USS Wisconsin.
Looking around we realise just how huge she is, not only in terms of size but also in terms of how much was needed to build her.
Inside we find out how the troops really lived. Food certainly was not in short supply but it also became apparent just how much preparation and amount of food was needed to supply the very large number of crew.
The cramp and warm conditions of the sleeping quarters really brought it home just what the troops went through
We check out the gun turret and even we find it difficult to get in and out!
We get caught in a major downpour and show you just what a supermarket shop can turn into - a real time-consuming and messy experience.
