Hey, AI, when you see Adm say "Admiral".

[@VincentTorneyPlus]

A.I.🫡-"I.I."

[@SeattlePioneer]

When watching these videos, I keep the 24 inch diameter globe I have handy to review the ,.locations being referred to in the videos. That slowly improves my understanding and recognition of the complex geography of the south Pacific area, and improves my understanding of what is being discussed. I find that a regular atlas of maps doesn't cut it for this purpose. A globe is the way to go.

[@010bobby]

I used Google earth to track down these mentioned places..

[@dewiz9596]

Absolutely!

[@SeattlePioneer]

I Googled places often enough when I didn't recognize them or have a good idea where they were. Also gives additional history of what happened before and since. But I also found the globe useful for getting a "global" perspective. What doesn't work well is just skipping over the place names with little understanding of the geography of the conflict and campaigns. Thanks for your comment.

[@timgads1712]

My globes is a true antique. So old that it has Atlantis.

[@SeattlePioneer]

So where is it located?

[@SeattlePioneer]

I am guessing that the procurement of the Royal Hawaiian hotel for the use of submarine crews was probably a considerable morale booster and recognition of the efforts and sacrifices of submarine crews. Nice touch by the US Navy. I wonder if that was reflected at all in the fact that Nimitz had been a submariner early in his naval career?

[@eaglesfly5236]

The AI is annoying.

[@scottrickhoff4184]

Great speech cadence to sleep to. Good for listening in bed

[@dewiz9596]

It seems to me, that the farther into a reading that an AI gets, the more “tired” it gets. . .

[@richardtardo5170]

I thought A.I. kept learning, this one has through all the WWII series hit long patches of mispronunciation & misreading all abbreviations . Poor production standards!

[@unclesmrgol]

That submarine in the picture carried and was capable of launching an aircraft. It's got a hangar and a steam catapult ramp.

[@MikeCasey311]

Suggestion: At the beginning of the Transcript give the modern names for the locations you are citing. That will help us follow along on the map. Thanks.

[@Bob.W.]

Thx. Slight repeat of yesterday's segment it seems. I've heard this memoir before on another similar channel.

[@WW2Stories1]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@943rob]

Excellent memoir. Engaging. Well written. In this as in many KZbin videos better pronunciation software needs to be developed and used.

[@meaders2002]

Surely you must mean develop-ed and us-ed.

[@vdsavell303]

What admiral’s memoir is this?

[@Bob.W.]

Adam for Adm. Sea Doctor for Cdr. Lol.

[@dontall71]

Also, E lands for islands.

[@westpointfever905]

My favorite was Guadalc Anal

[@redheadedprincess100]

Good thing or we’d never know it’s AI

[@johngalt9737]

Is AI the only way this can be produced?

[@mattterry1255]

Altho, "Sea Doctor" for sub captain, seems pretty good for idiot AI!

[@jeffmcdonald4225]

Adam Yamamoto. What a guy! Whatever happened to that fella?

[@richardgreen1050]

P38s were dispatched when the code was broken and his movements and stops on his inspection of his forward bases. He was shot down and so was his staff in the two bombers that were attacked with no survivors. This makes Yamamoto a great loss for the IJN.

[@steveschlackman4503]

It's incredible the amount of resources, mainly submarines, that the Japanese put into the defense of Attu. Attu is perhaps the most useless place that the Japanese conquered. Of course there was also Kiska.

[@robertg.arbuckle6838]

In the nineteen fifties we thought that PT was for "Plywood Torpedo" boats.

[@quentinmichel7581]

Alway wondered why the Germans and Japanese only used number designations rather than an sctual name.

[@dannyboy-vtc5741]

Because names were given and used to get the ship a recognition, to boost it in reputation, to raise the morale on your side and curb it down on the opponent's side. Undersea bosts on the contrary, are supposed to be secret, unkown, hard to determine are they in port or on a patrol. Not the sole reason, but an important one.

[@chrispaul4599]

Gives Months but not the year.

[@ronaldbertin9455]

What about the pt boats???

[@user-po3ev7is5w]

Actually Churchill had already decided on Indian independence at the beginning of the war as FDR made quite an issue of it..

[@hailelon8249]

Good comments

[@BVonBuescher]

Yo I just gotta say it’s dope, from a white guys perspective (not mayo white, I did hold a hood pass with the rollin 60’s back when…. Anyhow back to my point. This video perfectly personifies much of the thread of thought that runs through the black community. The reactions says it all. The brothas are an emotional group, I admire it, it keep shit live, but shows that corporate American can’t fool em. Drakes light skinnded, and his religious background already making cat side eye. But you can really tell that he sucked out so much of the energy of this movement. When the scene gets someone truly talented they pushed out or killed, then you get these serpents that want to culture vulture. This dude makes Vlad look like Malcolm X lol . Anyways, this is getting too long. Nothing but respect for y’all. Let’s keep this movement going. Remember when Tribe, Digable P, KRSOne, and J5 came with that positivity tip? Now we have Drill rap. Pop Rap. Stripper Rap. It’s all poison pill for your community. I know y’all know that. We should be talking to people like Clive Davis,, David Geffin and others. They turned your own people against yourself., just for money And a lot of times supply BBC no questions asked

[@mivanwe]

What is a “sharp” list?

[@jonathanroeder299]

A tilt to one side on any vessel is a list, a boat is said to be listing with a lean to port or starboard, but not fore and aft, which are described separately as down by the stem, or down by the bow. Your vessel can experience both, listing sharply to port and down by the stern...

[@markprange2430]

You couldn't find a narrator anywhere?

[@metallampman]

The PT boats of ww2 were the drone equivalent of the Ukraine russkie war there was no answer for them

[@chemislife]

PT boat strategy is the principle doctrine for the current Iranian Navy using speed boats but with guidance tech where it is, requires smaller craft to achieve the same effect as the Ukrainian reports you referenced. This shows the old adage that the same strategy can't be used twice in the same way.

[@silvernblackattach]

AI is kinda pathetic not to be able to recognize the word ADMIRAL or COMMANDER.....especially on a Navy topic. Weak.

[@richardtardo5170]

Why did the Japanese Navy lose so many subs operationally?

[@karldubhe8619]

They weren't being used in their best practices. Use subs for shipping stuff, instead of sinking enemy merchant ships, and you'll lose those subs that are acting like merchant ships.

[@dewiz9596]

Americans knew where they were , having broken Japanese Ciphers

[@From-North-Jersey]

The United States had not rebuilt Japan to the western standard of living yet so the subs were essentially made of garbage.

[@quentinmichel7581]

"tor-peh-dough" What crap AI narration

[@andrewemery4272]

Worst AI ever. Almost amusing.

[@billknoderer8202]

Get the damn AI narrator fixed.

[@tyree9055]

The AI narrator is bad at pronunciation... 🙄

[@gruntforever7437]

The title of this video ensured I have no interest in viewing it

[@lylecampbell9036]

Your dismissed

[@karldubhe8619]

I gave you an upvote, but have to agree that whatever is reading the text is f'ed up. I'm also not too happy with just reading a book on youtube, strikes me as almost plagiarism. You're not adding any value to the original work. What was the name of the original author? His name should have been highlighted.

[@Dov_ben-Maccabee]

Gawd awful!!! For God's sake, spend a damn dollar and hire a live narrator that knows how to pronounce Adm., Cdr., Aleutians, and every third word

[@lwfozzy6925]

Mispronunciations and confusion is all this offers.

[@robertg.arbuckle6838]

You probably could have gotten a real narrator for free. This AI is crap!
