It is for moving a ship when the wind is not in your favor. Though with a small enough boat, I guess you might be able to drift it :P Keelhauling is when you tie a man to a rope and toss him over the bow, then bring him back up at the stern, bounding him off the barnacle encrusted hull the length of the keel. It comes from the Dutch words for the keel (which is just 'kiel') and to lift or to haul up (halen... Frisian aside, Dutch is about as close to English as it gets) and you get "kielhalen". Or in English, keelhaul. Add in the 'ing' suffix and you get the present participle (i.e. doing it right now) keelhauling. caveat: 'halen' also apparently can mean "fetch" or "catch". addendum: "keel hauling" by rights would be moving a keel around somewhere, as in hauling the keel around, presumably at a shipyard. Keelhauling as in the punishment is a single word.

[@camelfilters3224]

Guys former Navy here from back in 2000. This is all Hollywood and is grossly misrepresented as far as military tacks and so forth. The ship has several departments that work together but have their own chain of command contained in each department. We all communicate the basics of a mission, now no one knows what's going on "having the full picture" outside of the top of the command ie the CO (Captian), XO (2nd in command), bridge staff if it's talked about in the bridge, Nav/Com (Navigation and communication), CWO (Chief Warrent officer) maybe and that's about it. The rest of us get a ship wide briefing outlining the over all mission. There's also the scuddle butt (rumor mill) that goes around the ship about what's going on but outside of those mentioned we don't know much. The only way communication and things like you see in thisovie to happen is if 70%+ of the crew is dead or wounded and even then it would be ordered to return to port rather then be lost if the option is there. Another thing "dropping the anchor" in the open ocean is the best way to lose your anchor before even touching the see bed. Not to mention the extreme amount damage to the windless (the system that controls the anchor), the ship and everything else on deck. Believe it or not that entire system for the anchor is manually operated by team of sailors below deck on top side. And that ship wouldn't be doing a G slide to get into gun range, it would nose dive into the water and probably rip off the bow if the anchor WAS to catch something.

As unrealistic this movie is, it's still a nice one to watch, especially the old man saying, "They ain't gonna sink this battleship, no way." Battleships were built to take punishment but return it back. Although obsolete in modern Navies, the legacy of how they've played in the Pacific during WWII is unforgettable. Although not a battleship, the most famous ship in WWII I would say be the Aircraft Carrier The Enterprise. Although the original was scrapped because of fundings, the name will never be forgotten in the Navy.

[@dennismccunney4462]

The daring tactic is an old one dating from the says of sail. It's called anchoring on springs, to let you better orient your ship to bring your broadside in best position to engage te enemy, And a fundamental problem for naval gunners is that your ship and your opponent are moving in three dimensions simultaneously, In Age of Sail days, you were at the mercy of the gun captain of a cannon being ble to judge the exact moment to actually ire the gun with a hope of hitting the target, And the technique provided a more stable gun platform, dampening some of the possible movement that would throw the gun off target. A modern battleship was s floating artillery platform, whose sheer size and displacement offered far more stability that an Ship of the Line in the Age of Sail. And it could shoot much farther. The 16" guns had a possible range of 20 miles in WWII, with improvements in smokeless powder increasing the to 40 miles in later year, But the ship would be firing at targets it couldn't even see over the horizon. There are reasons why the battleship was likely obsolete as a surface combatant when WWII began, and the biggest service battleships performed was fire support for amphibious landings against identified shore installations that could be accurately targeted. Might hae to fire a few rounds to walk the fire into the correct place, but a major blockhouse or shore battery wasn't moving anywhere...

[@jaredharris1970]

I would think by turning the ship that way your exposing more of the ship making a bigger target for the enemy and easier for them to hit u I would think by positioning bow first and firing bow guns would make your profile smaller and harder to hit if that makes sense

[@BuddySpike101]

@@jaredharris1970 yes it would make you a smaller target but a broadside would absolutely destroy your enemy especially since battleships are designed to absorb a few hits. If you wanted to sink an enemy battleship then you would need a full broadside to do it.

[@wargriz8213]

It is impractical to design ships with the fire power they can carry, and have all guns able to fire forward. And the front profile needs to be slim for speed/maneuverability. So a broadside brings the most guns to bear with a turreted design. With ships as large as battleships getting hit is inevitable. So they were designed to take hits and exchange fire. Modern warships tend to have less guns but forward turret mounted I believe.

[@fracturedraptor7846]

If you can suspend your belief this scene is amazing. If you focus too much on physics you know just how wrong it is. Ships of any size simply can't have the anchor go taught like that and not sustain severe damage, not unless they were specifically designed for it and reinforced to brunt the immense amount of stress that would place on the ship and the anchor itself. Which I think is impossible but I could be wrong. The other point of contention is the decision to get up close. Those guns have a severe amount of range on them, the kind of range that would have made the alien's method of attack wholly moot. Those charges are launched short distances. Those guns can be effective for miles and miles. The ship would have won without breaking a sweat.

[@blank4319]

It's an entertaining movie I gotta say. I even enjoyed it myself. But it's just that. There're moments that are unrealistic and the most notable one for me, as a former sailor, is the one where they use the anchor to "drift" at sea. That's dumb. Even if it's a battle ship, the anchor chain is not immune to intense friction. If that anchor is dropped in that situation, not only would it fail miserably since the anchor chain will burn and snap or the gravity itself pulling the anchor block and decommissioning the entire windlass, there would also be a lot of factors to be considered. Even if by some miracle, the anchor chain didn't snap, is the anchor actually able to secure itself at the sea floor strong enough for the whole heavy battleship to "drift"? Worse case scenario the anchor wouldn't grab anything strong and instead of "drifting", the ship would still go forward and they still get hit by those alien Molotov. I can't blame people for thinking it's dumb even though it's an enjoyable movie.

Those ships were meant to slug it out and who ever was able to put enough steel on target won. Plain and simple. During world war II they were the Titans of the sea. Everybody wanted one yet only a few could afford it. They were expensive and bulky and really hard to upgrade. But, they also were robust and extremely versatile. I got to see one up close while it was active as a kid. They were amazing machines who the crew absolutely loved.

The targeting and tracking analog computers on the Iowa class are still to this day the most accurate pieces of tech the US navy still has at its disposal. That's even with all the technological advancements we have developed. During its upgrades in the 80's those systems were not touched but enhanced to a insane degree. The Iowa's during Desert Storm 1 had a Spotter Drones and there's stories of the Iraq artillery surrendering to the drone because they knew that as soon as that thing was up in the air a 16 inch shell was only 40 seconds away.

Funny thing about Navy battles in the modern era, they end very quickly and actually have a hard time being draw out for more action. Battleships had to shell each other for hours to get a kill because their guns damage what's above the waterline rather than below it.

[@fionawimber1028]

3:40 One thing that I need to point out here is that how beautifully the armor of a battleship is illustrated in this scene. Remember earlier in the film what just a handful of those rounds did to the destroyers. Missouri practically shrugs off the hits with only the outer layers of turret 3 being blown off.

[@hisaddle]

Yeah the armor of the Iowa class is crazy.

[@xxnightdriverxx9576]

You have no idea what you are talking about. The turret is completely destroyed and clearly blows up from the inside, dislodging the guns. The other hits occur on areas of the ship that do NOT CARRY ANY ARMOR. Yes that is correct, the areas around the main gun turret, including everything that is hit in this clip, are not armored at all. The plating in this location is only 30mm thin, or just over an inch. That is nothing. The main armor belt is 307mm thick, but only covers the waterline. The main armor deck is 150mm thick, but is located one deck lower in the ship, just above the waterline, connecting to the main armor belt. Just google "Iowa class armor scheme" and you will see what I mean. With the exception of the gun turret, no armor was hit in this scene.

[@xxnightdriverxx9576]

​@@hisaddlethe armor of the Iowa class is rather average. It's not great or "crazy" at all. For the size of the ship and the time it was build, it is actually below average. Some comparisons: As mentioned in my other comment, the 48.000 ton standard displacement Iowa class had a main armor belt that was 307mm thick inclined at 19 degrees. The deck was 152mm with a 32-38mm bomb deck above it and a 16mm splinter deck. The French 37.000 ton Richelieu class had a 327mm belt inclined at 15 degrees plus a 170mm thick main deck plus a 40-50mm thick splinter deck. The British 36.000 ton King George V class featured a 375mm thick belt, contoured to the hull (so not completely vertical as often stated), and a 150mm thick main deck plud 32mm weather deck. The Italian 40.000 ton Littorio class had a 280+70mm thick belt armor inclined at 15 degrees, and a 150mm thick main armor deck plus 36mm weather deck. The German 41.000 ton Bismarck class featured a 320mm thick belt and a 120mm thick main armor deck plus 50mm weather deck. The French 26.000 ton Dunkerque class, the first of the modern fast battleships to be build and also by far the smallest one, featured a 225mm thin belt on Dunkerque and a 283mm thick belt on Strasbourg, inclined at 11 degrees, with a 125mm thick main deck and 40mm thick lower deck. The famous 69.000 ton Japanese Yamato class had a 410mm thick belt inclined at 20 degrees plus a 200mm thick main armor deck with a 50mm thick weather deck. It is important to remember that the Iowa class came a couple of years after all of the ships mentioned above, with none of the treaty restrictions, and with the exception of Yamato, the Iowa's were also far bigger and heavier than all of them. So yeah, pretty average across the board. And that includes the area/volume protected by armor, which was also pretty average. Now don't understand me wrong, the Iowa's were excellent battleship designs. And overall, they were THE BEST designs of the war, no questions there. But being the best overall does not mean they were the best in every single category, which is something many people tend to forget. And protection (armor and torpedo protection) was something that was not meaningfully improved in the Iowa's compared to the previous South Dakota and North Carolina classes, which were 12.000 tons lighter than the Iowa's (25% lighter).

@@xxnightdriverxx9576 and you clearly don’t pay enough attention! When the shells hit, their explosions snapped off the three barrels and partially crumpled the barrette but nothing below the deck was damaged.

@@fionawimber1028 you are right that there wasn't a hull breach, but we literally see the turret explode from the inside, leaving behind a burning mess in follow up scenes. The entire turret blew up. The explosion also logically traveled down into the barbette, though it is clear that it was stopped somewhere before reaching the magazines. When one of the Iowa's suffered an explosion inside her number 2 turret during I think the Vietnam war, 70 people died. This here looks like a similar explosion.
