Tow lines snapped in a storm and it sank. Thats all folks

This is just a classic example of how that as soon as politicians get involved in anything, they screw it up. My dad always says "If you can't do anything productive with your life, there's always space for you as a politician"

You are incorrect on your statement on the Wasp. She had six torpedos fired at her, of which three struck one right after the other. Since she was designed with no armor belt or torpedo blisters, the Type 93 Longlance torpedoes, each of which carries a warhead over half a ton, wreaked havoc. They struck her magazines and av-gas fuel tanks. She was doomed from the start. No amount of skilled damage control could have saved her. USS Lexington was hit by two bombs and five torpedoes. One bomb penetrated her five inch munitions storage magazine and touched off the entire store. The five torpedoes that hit her, once again were the devastating Type 93. After such destruction, once again, no amount of damage control, no matter how heroic, could have saved her. As for the amazing ability of American damage control teams, it is exhibited in the USS Yorktown at the Battle of the Coral Sea. After being struck by a bomb that went through multiple decks before exploding in the bowels of the ship. Her crews brought the fires under control and got her back to Pearl. At Midway, where she was damaged by three bombs, but was so swiftly repaired, and resumed operations so quickly that the following attack by Japanese torpedo planes had them thinking that they were striking a different target. Even after the torpedo planes put two more Longlances into her side, teams still fought to keep her afloat until she lost power. A team went back aboard her to attempt salvage so an ocean going tug could once again bring her to port. It was finally the two torpedos of a Japanese sub that dealt her a mortal blow along with one more striking the USS Hamman. Need more? Check out the salvage of the USS Franklin at the Battle of Okinawa, where she took incredibly devastating damage from Kamakazi attacks was saved by her teams to make it back to home port and be repaired. So yes, there is quite a difference in the abilities and success between the two navies.

Na costa norte do Brasil, litoral do estado do Amapá, existe um arquipélago chamado bailique. La existe uma lenda da cobra grande que na verdade era o movimento dos submarinos alemães na superficie. No mesmo arquipélago também existem netos de alemães que sobreviveram ao afundamento de seu submarino nas proximidades do arquipélago. No Amapá tbm existia uma base aérea dos USA, la havia grande tráfico de dirigíveis.

Interesting. But not even a mention of the US sending (in clear) a message from Midway about fictitious troubles with their desalisination plant, that the Japanese then included in it's own messages saying they'd heard that their target's desalisination plant had problems? This confirmed Midway as the target.

13:44, the picture looks normal at a glance. but the more you stare at it the more it uncanny the faces become

The French navy wasn’t very professional back then.

This battleship looks like the battleship game pieces from the old Parker's Bros "Conflict" and Monopoly games

Very interesting and informative!

Entire situation was suspicious. Kangaroo court with no findings. No mention of knowing it’s last location and underwater search using modern technology. If found they could provide reasons for the possible sinking but no one’s interested. They just wanted to get rid of the ship.

''Day of Deceit'' details how the US navy had cracked all Japanese codes , military and civilian at least a year before Pearl Harbor. So a couple of people in Washington, including Roosevelt, knew exactly when and where the Japanese fleet were going to attack from. This information was denied to both the naval and army commanders of the base at Pearl Harbor. The US fleet wasnt even supposed to be be in Hawaii as its home dock was San Diego and the senior admiral protested, but they were overruled by Roosevelt and ordered out there. The goal was to get the US into the war to fight Germany. If you doubt this hypothesis read that book, its all laid out. You've never wondered why the aircraft carriers were mysteriously in the south Pacific that day and not with the fleet as they were supposed to be?

Thank you grandpa

Rest.

Mohdell?

im pretty sure that goes to one of the French Battleships

Old cordite is a cranky senior citizen

Man, I really thought that this was the French battleship Bergow!

French ships were certainly dangerous to French sailors.

How big was the wine cellar?

You would have thought the japanese would have marked the ships with prisoners just to save the ship. The japanese were strange in some of the things they did or didn't do.

Good story, nice to see photos to get a better idea.

Not to pick, but these are ships, not boats. Ships carry boats.

The one who is responsible of this historical artifact getting chopped up should get bannned from working with historical artifacts ever again. Everyone who are willing to destroy history to "reduce cost" or "educational purposes" or anything else should not be working with history or owning historical artifacts, vehicles or anything.

2:28 as you said that, according to different sources, the brazilian navy had 3 or 4 submarines during WW2, I've checked 4 official books about this subject. The books "100 anos Força de Submarinos" (100 years submarine force, 2014) and "História naval brasileira" (brazilian naval history, v. 5, t. 2, 1985) don't say how many there were in those years. But, according to "A marinha do Brasil na segunda guerra mundial" (the brazilian navy on WW2, 1982, p. 71 and 253), "Nossos submarinos" (our sumbarines, 1986, p. 46 and 138), and "Subsídios para a história marítima do Brasil" (contributions to maritime history of Brasil, v. 5, 1945, p. 12; v. 12, 1953, p. 36), the navy had four submarines on duty during those years: Humaytá (1928-1950), Tupi (1938-1959), Timbira (1938-1959) and Tamoio (1938-1959). By the way, congratulations, your video is amazing😉

Recently there some ill fated frigate/ destroyers commissioned . They were real expensive and made from an aluminum alloy. Unfortunately the interaction of the metal the salt water and ship’s electrical system led the destruction of the hulls after a few years . Many have been decommissioned. Built by the usual suspects and not paid for by Mexico

You forgot about the word "killers" in the class description. They were battlecruisers if at all, but rather were attempt to fit a battleship into a new role in the aircraft carrier era - and had zero in common with cruisers. Different role, size, armament, armor. The largest cruisers were Des Moines class.

Dudes! These "cruisers" were more heavily armed than German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau!

Lost me at "Shinano" being pride of Japanese navy NOT A CHANCE WITH YAMATO afloat... uggggg

what a mess

One HUGE sequela that was not mentioned. Without the Spanish American war , the United States would Not have been a guarantor of Philippines protection against Japan in the 1940s and a threat to the Luzon strait( Japans lifeline to south East Asian resources) Thus the US fleet would have still been in California and a Pearl Harbor attack not in the cards.

Defective stabilizer. They used amyl alcohol for the first French smokeless powder. They later switched to diphenylamine which is used by everyone today.

The interesting part of the Graf Spee and the decision not to fight the way back to Germany was that one of the British hits during Plate destroyed the ship's bakery. Now in nearly all other situations this would be a 'So??' situation. In the context of being alone and half the world away with no supporting facilities suddenly turned this into a significant problem and, it is claimed, one of the more significant reasons for not attempting breakout back to Germany.

IJN Mutsu

Gah-tow. FFS dude, set up your shitty AI voice correctly. Channels are getting lazy AF with this AI voice stuff. Is it too taxing for you to read into a microphone???

I quit watching when your embedded War Thunder ad came on.

6 billion in today's money for 35 Battleships. 1 B2 bomber costs 2 billion. The defense industry is a scam.

"THE ship that suddenly exploded..." Half of the Royal Navy fleet of every single time period in history comes to mind.

“Remember Pearl Harbor!” was in the minds of the US Navy.

There were a LOT of Battleships that suddenly exploded; some Cruisers as well. It was going on and on for over a decade from the 1890s onward, and ships all around the world were exploding without an immediately obvious cause. However, the French Navy figured it out --- the propellant charges in the magazines of these ships contained liquid nitroglycerin, which meant that when the magazines got too hot, the charges sweated that substance, causing it to pool on the floor. The slightest spark or shock could set it off, resulting in a chain reaction that would detonate the whole magazine in seconds. The solution was surprisingly simple. Navies around the world just refrigerated their magazines. Some ships would still explode in later years for other reasons (e.g., the Battleship Mutsu exploded in a Japanese harbor in World War 2, due to the notoriously unstable "Beehive" anti-aircraft shells loaded into her main magazine), but it was no longer a common event.

There were many that did that: see also HMS Bulwark and Vanguard

surviving the sinking was just the beginning of there problems, then they had to avoid the japanese and build a raft to get back to american forces. The submarine was bad luck since its first cruise.

Nitro-Cellulose , , , Nitroglycerin in Sawdust. Basically old fashioned TNT, unstable and prone to "sweating" Nitro.

The Story starts and 8:30

Have you heard of HMS Natal? She was at anchor in the Comartry Firth next to Invergordon in Scotland. There was a party on board for the officers who had invited their families and children along. It suddenly exploded, rolled over and sank. Many people didn't get off. There is a memorial garden in the town looking over the firth. About half the hull was blown up and removed as it was a danger to shipping but the rest of her still lies upside down at the bottom.

Desperate time call desperate matter

Way too long to get to the point of the narrative.
