everyone is gangster until they heard "stand aside, I'm coming through, this is Ching Lee"

[@garyhooper1820]

The Man with nine 16" sniper rifles . Admiral " Ching Lee " .

[@alexanderleach3365]

'Step aside. I'm coming through.' Immortal words of Adm. Lee.

[@redcamaro9401]

The Rear Admiral Willis Lee won 7 medals at the 1920 Olympics. That's wild.

[@danielseelye6005]

And yet... Was too blind by Navy standards to be in the service. 🤦🏻‍♂️ The Fat Electrician's video on Willis Lee is fascinating.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

Originally what observers thought were the first short salvo misses to Kirishima from Washington, A UAV recently found the Kirishima and everyone of those near misses had submarined and put a Hull hole into the ship. This stuff is All Good.

[@JohntheLNERP2]

I'd like to see you cover the destruction of Gneisenau mate

[@HoH]

Good suggestion.

[@Cailus3542]

What's there to cover? It was bombed and decommissioned.

[@JohntheLNERP2]

Been loving these naval videos! Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Always a great watch on my Saturday afternoon👍

[@danielseelye6005]

Always remember: Ching Lee Doesn't Miss. 😁

[@Cailus3542]

To be fair, at that range, it was harder to miss than to hit the target, even at night.

[@InterestingHistory_YT]

Could you do a video about the USS Archerfish sinking the aircraft carrier Shinano?

[@dmreturns6485]

The "Bow" of a ship ... is pronounced like "Cow". Good video.

[@zillsburyy1]

House of History and Operations Room should do a joint video

[@Hillbilly001]

Been really dig'n these naval videos. And may this comment be a sacrifice to the Algorithm. Cheers from Tennessee

Same i really like naval warfare, just warfare in general. FOR THE ALGORITHM 😜

@@Rodero2443 I've been a fan of the channel for quite some time and I really like the Alte Fritz and Iron Chancellor videos, but these WWII naval vids have been top notch. The WWI ones were good too. Cheers

"Scuttled". That's a typical and hilarious account by the IJN. Kirishima had a WW1 era dreadnaught hull design that was more battle cruiser, than battleship, and took several salvos of 16" AP rounds broadside, including the first salvo which had several of those shells enter and explode inside it right below the waterline. That was already a death sentence for that ship. It was a slowly sinking wreck by morning that had no engine power. The Japanese thought they might be able to tow it to safety with the remaining cruiser, but there was no way that was remotely possible and it sank very much on it's own that morning. The only thing that saved it from being evaporated like the Hood during the shooting was none of the shells directly hit the ships magazine storages. But still, it was a dead ship after the hits it took. Just took several more hours to die instead.

My fav naval battles: Trafalgar, Tsushima and Jutland

[@rickbrandon3635]

Another great production! Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video shared by an excellent ( house 🏠 of history) channel. Thank you for sharing

[@KHK001]

Amazing video as always!

[@dennislemasters4339]

the kirishima was originally a battlecruiser, after undergoing extensive upgrades including receiving additional armor she was reclassified as a battleship

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Olympic shooting medalists like Admiral W Lee (who was going blind) were smart enough to rely on radar directed naval artillery, once he knew who he was shooting at.

[@CATDANCE-12-b8g]

Battle of midway please.

[@BlindMansRevenge2002]

If the Japanese would not have been so stingy with Yamato and Musashi that night, battle may have gone in a different direction

I would like to see and watch an animation of the battle of Casablanca 😊, that would be awesome to watch

[@Napoleon1815-l8c]

What is it with the Japanese admirals when they are on the verge of victory that they suddenly get cold feet and withdraw?

[@samstewart4807]

hi, I think you are wrong about a couple of things- 1, U.S. observers thought there were 9 hits- After the war, The Kirishima's Japanese damage control officer wrote a book about this battle. HE SAID the ship was hit with between 16-20 16 inch shells. He also said the ship sunk- IT WAS NOT SCUTTLED. WHY DOES NO ONE BELIEVE THE CHIEF ATTLE DAMAGE CONTROL OFFICER FROM THE SUNKEN SHIP? WTF- over

[@Khalifrio]

First off I just want to say I greatly enjoy your videos. I hope you don't take this personally but I would like give you some feedback/constructive criticism. You are not alone in this but you are pronouncing bow wrong in the context of the front of a ship. It's not pronounced like you would think. For example the way you are saying it is the correct way for something like a bow and arrow using a hard O sound. The proper way for the front part of a ship is pronounced like bau with a soft o sound.

when you gonna make the Battle of Leyte gulf ?or the Philippine sea ??

I'm pretty sure the name Walke isn't pronounced Walker. Also the front of a ship is a bow not a 🎀

Towards the end, narrator says "Japanese abandoned the island by Dec 31". Where are Earth do you get your info from??!! Totally WRONG! The Japanese abandoned Guadalcanal a month later by end of Jan '43. get your facts straight I hate seeing false info posted
