America's Sneakiest Sea Weapon That Totally Fooled the Enemy - Hit ‘Em Harder

[@AndrewTryon]

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

[@bradberntson3369]

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.

[@abcde_fz]

Excellent. Those sailors gave their all, but not until after they gave hell to the enemy.

[@rg20322]

Dang - this sub was a true hunter and especially going after the feared destroyers! Can't say enough about the men that fought in these subs and their bravery.

[@christophercook723]

@@rg20322 what does Dang mean in English?

[@freethinkingamerican80]

Another excellent video, much appreciated.

[@auggies]

Her remains had been found of late. She's still out there on eternal patrol. Rest in peace to all who sacrificed for humanity.

[@johndyson4109]

I've always liked the GATO class of subs.. The Americans always had the best subs in the world after WWI.... The Harder was one hell of a sub. and had one hell of a crew!

[@FDR_progressive_liberal]

I've always been fascinated by the story of the USS Tang. It had a stellar record of sunk Japanese ships but ended its reign when it was sunk by its own errant torpedo. Insult to injury.

[@stevekay5486]

Very brave men.

[@pj2123]

Like your video's but can you please either stop the music or cut it's volume? To me it's louder than the narration.

[@jdsstegman]

This crew had an amazing war record. The whole time i kept thinking to myself that this sounds like a german u boat story from the beginning of the war. With all merchant vessels sunk.

[@safiremorningstar]

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.

[@MilitarySummaryChannel2024]

*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.*

[@jdlives8992]

Elated with an electric ice cream maker. 😊

[@philgiglio7922]

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

[@LittleFarmer14]

Gotta keep the boys happy

[@philgiglio7922]

IIRC Tawi Tawi was later used as an R&R base for submarines, the facility was named after Comander Dealy

[@grandaddyoe1434]

That "fighter escort" looked a lot like a Lysander . . .

[@auro1986]

how many days can it stay underwater?

[@JodyMackin-w9g]

One day then it has to surface to charge the batteries

[@16gauge90]

48 hours max, but that would almost complete exhaust both air and batteries.

[@billindreboe8630]

Again The music spoils the narration

The launch video was from Manitowoc - they're the only yard that dumped them in sideways.

[@donfisher8035]

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.

[@safiremorningstar]

It's ironic that they call the submarine groupings a wolf pack when the submarine the majority of the submarines were in fact called gato meaning cat... I guess even a a cat can lead a wolf pack against an enemy.

[@chrish5791]

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.

It’s only a shame that those men were forced to fight with defective torpedoes because the admiral decided that they couldn’t stay in the shame of admitting that the damn things were a lot of good men lost their lives because of that

I understand how hard it is to come up with matching footage that doesn't cost an arm or leg for usage rights.😱 Your videos are (usually) top notch; best of the best. 👌The editing hours, reviewing raw footage, moving clips (and re-moving, and re-re-moving) can be tedious and brain-burning🥵. But, the work pays off.🫡 Congratulations on JOBS well done! I am just starting out doing videos. I am not sure if you will ever read this👀, but I would like to be able to aquire permission to use other people's footage and audio. I will also be making karaoke training videos. Maybe I can take advantage of fair-use laws? 🤔 I used a bunch of emoji's to (hopefully) get your attention😊 Hope you do well, and never get in trouble 🤙
