SCUTTLEBUTT is the official podcast of the National Museum of the Surface Navy at the Battleship IOWA, in affiliation with the Surface Navy Association's Battleship IOWA Chapter. We're here to take inspirational dives into the daily challenges, sparks of passion, and unwavering dedication of our crew and supporters. We also interview thought leaders in both the public and private sectors to hear their thought-provoking stories and opinions on current and relevant topics. Connect, have fun with, and get to know the cast of characters who give the museum its personality.

Sal Mercogliano: What's Going On In Shipping (Part 2)
We're back for another season of SCUTTLEBUTT and we're starting off by sharing a new YouTube channel addiction: What's Going On In Shipping (https://www.youtube.com/@wgowshipping).
Dr. Sal Mercogliano is a retired merchant mariner and chairman of the history department at Campbell University. In his spare time, he likes to talk about what's going on in the world of shipping.
We had discovered him and reached out to invite him to our podcast so we could talk about shipping and its relation to freedom of the seas, but then a week ago, the MV Dali allision with the Key Bridge in Baltimore really gave us fodder for discussion.
Here's part two of our chat. You can catch up with part one here:

Attempted Murder with Port of LAPD Officers Stacey Creech & Aldo Morales (Part 2)
Los Angeles Port Police Community Relations Officers Stacey Creech and Aldo Morales are near and dear to our hearts here at Battleship IOWA. They have our backs during any event we have that involves the public, most notably LA Fleet Week, and they do everything with kindness and unending good humor.
We decided to show them off on our podcast and let you get to know why we love them.
PS Did you catch our bad joke? Community Relations Officers - CROs...? A group of crows is called a "murder," so since we only have two of them, it's an attempted murder...?

Joe Sienkiewicz On Tropical Storm Hilary And Other 2023 Storms (Part 2)
Joe Sienkiewicz from NOAA's Ocean Predictions Center (otherwise known as our favorite "weather guesser") is our ace in the hole when it comes to inclement weather that's headed our way. He's been instrumental in helping us stay on top of how to prepare for events like Tropical Storm Hilary.
This former tug boat operator sat down with us for a fascinating (did you know the buoys offshore can read the sizes of waves that refract off our breakwater?) conversation about the way weather works in the San Pedro Channel area.
(Hear Part 1 of this conversation here:
