Battleship | The Final Battle in 4K HDR

[@empirestate8791]

I've got to admit, critics can call this movie cliched or unrealistic, but I had a blast. Sometimes, you just want to immerse yourself in complete awesomeness, which is what this movie is. The scene of the Missouri setting sail again, commanded by the ship's old crew, made the whole movie worth it.

Actually, the biggest logical mistake is fact that aliens are morons, I am not expert on military tech, but I am pretty sure that they couldn't fire those missiles without GPS, and using those buoys was smart solution to the problem, it is the reason why they dont blow up aliens instant they start being aggresive, they targeting just doesn't work with alien ships, probably some stealth materials.

During the Korean War, the Iowa-class USS Wisconsin took a minor hit from a North Korean 155mm battery on shore, causing only minor injuries. In response she fired ALL NINE of her 16" guns, utterly obliterating the hillside the gun battery may have been on, jungle, and pretty much everything in that general direction. One her her escorts sent a humorous message via light signal. "Temper, temper!" That is what this movie captured so well. Hit a battleship and it will hit back very, very hard.

I visited the Missouri this summer and took a tour. Very historical - but of course I had to ask the tour guide if she saw the movie Battleship. In fact when I did, about several others tour guests started asking details about the movie - how the ship was towed, camera angles, and the tour actually ended up going to parts of the ship where they filmed some of the movie. No matter what you think of this movie, the sentiment of the naval vets is likely reflective had the situation been real and were asked to exist exiting naval personnel to help. It use to be that military personnel and its veterans are very patriotic - and this movie showed that to a T.

[@levanskidney390]

LMAO

[@deathofallthingspotato9919]

Yeah, I mean considering those pegs did like a bit of damage to the destroyers, they could fire everything they had at the Missouri, all day, and she wouldn't flinch. Honestly, if they did all of this in real life, the most damaging thing to happen to the Missouri would be the anchor turning. The pegs might bounce off. The fact that the pegs destroyed a turret can only really put down to sci-fi shenanigans - those turrets have 500mm of armour, where the destroyers have maybe 50-75mm, and a peg earlier put a hole in the side of a destroyer (and not a big one). For context on how big the turrets are, they're about as wide as the destroyer. In short, the pegs would scratch the paint, and damage the decking. Even the sphere things seen earlier in the film would probably struggle, on the basis that the destroyer slowed them down. Beyond that, the battleships of that era were nigh unsinkable by this kind of munition - consider the Bismark, which is larger, but of a similar era, and absorbed over 400 rounds and several torpedoes, and was eventually sunk by scuttling charges. The pegs are probably less effective than the shells used there, although not all those shells were full size, and Bismark is a larger ship (though the underwater damage of the torpedoes and scuttling charges would obviously dominate). Taking 500 rounds as an estimate, it would take 8 ish full salvos from their weapons, but the Missouri has 2 CIWS turrets, which could probably take 10-12 shells out mid flight, so it might take more like 10. This would take about 20 minutes if the aliens were firing at full force, which the seem to consistently fail to do, so it might take them much longer (they fired like 6 shots at the beginning, and at that rate it would take hours), and this is presuming the Missouri does not return fire. Besides all of that, the Missouri has an operation range in the many kilometres, even by visual firing only, so they would never choose to engage at this range without having to - particularly as the short range disproportionately favours the slow enemy weapons.

[@m4ini]

@@flyingace5057 I mean, ships can be impressive without making up stuff. The USS Nevada was hit by 6 bombs and one torpedo and subsequently sank in Pearl Harbour. It got salvaged, modernised and eventually decommissioned for target practice, got hit by the BLAST WAVE of the nuke "Able" (not the nuke itself), because the operator of the bomb missed the target by a mile. The second nuke "Baker" was detonated 30m below the surface of the water. As a sidenote, the german cruiser Prinz Eugen (Escort of the Bismarck when he sank the Hood) as well as the former japanese flagship Nagato were also present in those tests. The cruiser Prinz Eugen did not sink in either test - the Nagato did after the "Baker" test, by design. It was positioned within the zone that was expected to cause fatal damage, the Nevada was not. The Nagato was at around 700m, the Nevada more than 1.5 miles away. The same blast also sank the carrier USS Saratoga. Look. History is fun, and i love battleships (as should everyone else). But they're not for chest beating, usually it makes you look stupid because reality is nowhere near as brazen as the story you make up.

[@pierreaubert7772]

Funny thing is u guys calling sci fi an allien ship that traveled Inter stelar space. We cant do that because our technology is sheet..... im gonna drawn, the sci fi part is exactly that an old ship ( no matter how thick her armor is ) could destroy an Inter stelar technology enemy.... Its actually stoopid, this should be like theyr kids crackers and not military grade weapons for a civilization that broke the mistery of light travel and for sure faster! So yeah, very sci fi he saying that she wont sink and winning!

They sent a scout to do a warrior's job. Mistake number one. They equipped the scout with dumbfire weaponry and no chaff. Mistake number two. They assumed there would be little to no resistance. Mistake number three.

Bombard the planet from orbital is the safest option, assuming the target has no advanced space technology.

Our society often thinks that our elders are expendable and have no more use within our today’s world of technology. However, everything built in those days were built strong and made to last. Their good and solid experiences should remain in our way of life. We should keep the good of our past and the good of our future. Knowledge is never lost.

@@koenvandiepen7651 I agree with you.

[@mikayari185]

@@koenvandiepen7651 Well, no because anti-ship missiles were built to sink _modern ships_ rather than a massive, almost outdated ones. Consider the fact that Harpoon missiles have roughly 1/4 warhead mass as 14-inch shells on the Kongou-class battleships, against the 12-inch armor on the Iowa-class, and that's not considering the fact Harpoons aren't "armor-piercing"

Most alien invasion movies: "Earthling weapons are completely useless, mankind can be only saved via McGuffin/exploitable weakness". Battleships & Transformers: "High explosives kill advanced aliens same as anyone else"

[@panan7777]

More so, if the round has 2,700 lb, a lot of this high explosives, travels at 2,500 ft/s, which is slightly more than twice the speed of sound. Designed to penetrate MANY inches of steel, which spaceship could not have. The only danger would be the rounds just passing thru like a cardboard.

[@andreykuzmin4355]

@@panan7777 True

[@gdfcommander]

@@panan7777 A good example off the top of my head of this was during the Battle of Samar. The USS Johnston (DD-557) charges headfirst into the Japanese navy to help buy time for escort carriers time to escape. The Japanese were expecting to meet a proper task force instead of a small group of destroyers, as such they were already loaded with AP ammunition that essentially cut right though the destroyers. She was under fire for 20-30 min while closing the gap to fire her main batteries and torpedoes, during which she took 3 14in shells and 3 6in shells. While AP rounds still caused damage to the Johnston taking out her bridge, a boiler room, aft fire control systems, she was able to disengage the enemy by running into a rain squall to make hasty repairs before turning around to re-engage. It would be another hour and a half of battle before her last engine would fail leaving her dead in the water before heading to the bottom. If the Japanese had used HE rounds instead of AP, the explosions from the first volley of the 14inch shells would have ended her then and there. I highly recommend to anyone that finds this story interesting to go research this battle. IMO it is by far one of the more inspirational naval battles of WWII of which my crappy paraphrasing won't do it justice.

[@kulot-ki1tu]

@@gdfcommander oh yeah the USS johnston, that ship is just insane how it managed to repel an entire japanese battleship and heavy cruiser fleet and even managed to repel a destroyer counter attack from another side
