Ty, I've known about the Harder since I was a kid, she always seemed over-shadowed by other subs. It is nice to see her get the recognition she deserves

My father's boyhood friend Niel Snyder was aboard the Harder. I grew up hearing about her exploits from a young age. Later I located a plaque with Niels name in Memory Grove a small park in Salt Lake City dedicated to veterans.

Gato class submarine is named for cats in Spanish and it's appropriate when you think about it because a cat can be very subtle and sleek and climb right up on you and that is pretty much what the submarines were supposed to do.

*If anyone is interested in the pivotal naval battles around Guadalcanal you should read Neptune's Inferno. It's written well, so it isn't just a blow by blow that has no narrative or context. Those were some of the most important and savage naval battles in the entire war.*

5 gallons of ice cream Was the standard ransom paid for the return of rescued pilots to their carrier. Remember this was the south pacific and it gets bleeding hot. And the AC aboard was there primarily to cool all the electronics on board < vacuum tubes, not today's ICs>. The AC would be turned off for attack runs and silent running. Those boats got hot very quickly

We should note that these military items and upgrades came barely ten years since the Great Depression. Labor was cheap to get the work force off the government and into government contracts. Every contractor was guaranteed profit. So it was a win no matter investments. Apparently education in technology and physics suffered nil to produce these things. One would think the Japanese didn't suffer either from the Great Depression.

Your videos would be far more interesting and informative if the photos being viewed matched what you were describing in the audio at the time. It seems like you haphazardly take anything that mildly resembles what you’re detailing and throw it on the screen like a shiny object to keep your audience entertained. I’m sure it must be difficult to find actual footage of what you’re describing, but a disclaimer stating that the photos often don’t match the narration would go a long way toward mitigating this issue.
