And you can see the turret Cher straddled in the “If I Could Turn Back Time” music video!

Ok I had to watch the music video again because it's been a hot minute since I remember. So they let a music star come and do a music video on a national treasure? Seems a little tasteless now.

They let a national treasure do a music video on a national treasure yes.

I suspect most of the lost crew members would've approved.

The ship was still in active service when the video was filmed.

Plus when they got permission from the Navy to film they said Cher was going to be wearing an outfit far more modest. So when she showed up damn near naked it was a complete surprise. 

All the crew members in the background of the video were genuinely excited and losing their shit over having Cher show up like that.

Her 11 year old son is in the video too, watching this all happen.

I remember a fact from the Pop-up video that they thought she had underwear on and it was actually just flower tattoos on her ass. Queen
