The video you looked at is poorly researched. It states the French navy was the second largest and disproves itself listing other countries ships and it also states that American had only 3 aircraft carriers when what they should've said was that the US had 3 in the Pacific, there were others. Due to interwar treaties the USA and UK were on parity in naval strength as top tier. Second tier was Japan, and third tier was France and Italy with Germany basically trying to play catch-up to 3rd tier. The Soviet navy looked good as long as you didn't look to closely.

@Artur Rehi Bismarck, again, is not a Destroyer. It's a Battleship. A Destroyer is maybe 1/15 to maybe 1/10 at best the displacement of most WW2 battleships. A Destroyer is a very small warship, a battleship is a very big one. Also the most powerful battleships of the time were the US North Carolina Class, the German Bismarck class, the Italian Littorio class, and Japanese Yamato class. This was before the introduction of the US South Dakota and Iowa classes. The Iowa class was a peer to the Yamato class they were roughly equal in combat capabilities and the Iowa class actually held most tangible advantages over the Yamato's.

[@christiansee2500]

You fail to take into account the QEs and KGVs. The North Cals were pretty poorly armoured. Then Hood could very well have been the most powerful ship of the RN had in been refitted.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

@@christiansee2500 First things first: The NCs were not poorly armored, that's actually a myth. For the time they were armored against the 14"/50 MKB which while indeed a 14in gun was a superior penetrator to British 16in guns and roughly on par with the German SK C/34 14.95"/51 guns (Bismarck's and Tirpitz's main guns). *TL:DR for if you don't want to read a novel:* I don't consider any British battleship to even be in the top 5 to top 10 most powerful battleships ever because to be blunt their armor quality and accuracy were the only things that were positives for them. Their armor penetration and armor design, pardon my language, for lack of a better phrasing was goddamn terrible. British guns were rated as the second worst penetrating guns caliber for caliber during WW2 only edging out the Japanese in that regard, which is not a very high bar. Onto the long version I really don't count in the RN in these discussions regarding the most powerful battleships of the time because while they had great quality armor plates their AP shells were so laughably bad that despite having high enough stated penetration even at damn near point blank range, relatively for battleships anyway, somehow it continuously failed to penetrate Bismarck's magazine. That's because British ships used poorly designed AP shells made of poor quality metals. They didn't see the point in using high quality metal for single use weapons when they didn't have the money to do so resulting in lower quality softer shells prone to deflection and deformation upon striking heavy armor (Japan had this same problem but even worse) and they had a much thinner windshield, also known as a ballistic cap, than other contemporary battleship shells. This was to fit more explosive filler also known as a bursting charge. Caliber for caliber British shells packed the most explosive punch for their size but it came at the cost of horrible armor penetration. The British were not oblivious to their poor armor penetrative capabilities either they just didn't see it as a problem as their guns were still sinking ships. It was so bad that the USN 14"/45 MK12 mounted on the New York, Nevada, and Pennsylvania classes outperformed the British 15"/42 MK1 mounted on the QEs, Revenges, Renowns, Hood, and Vanguard by a wide margin in terms of armor penetration while being comparably accurate and reliable. In fact the USN 14"/50 MKB had superior penetration to the Nelson class's 16"/45 MK1s. You're probably wondering why these smaller USN guns outperform the British shells and the answer is quite simple. They went the opposite direction in design. All shells were made of high quality and rigid metals and their shells had a much more robust windshield or ballistic/armor piercing cap if you prefer that term. They suffered from a below average bursting charge due to this but in their opinion it was better to have a higher chance to penetrate the armor and do less damage than to have the potential to do more damage but a much lesser chance of penetrating. If I were to even begin to include the QEs or KGVs in the discussion then we'd have to talk about all five USN Standard Type Super Dreadnought classes because in all regards save for armor quality and speed they have the KGVs and QEs beat in every category especially post 1942 when most faced extensive rebuilds and/or retrofits post Pearl Harbor. Their penetration was better, their armor was incredibly well designed and high quality even from WW1, their armor was also incredibly thick and layered (far beyond what wiki will tell you as they neglect to point out they had several bulkheads between their external torpedo bulges and their citadel bulkheads which protected the machinery spaces and magazines which itself was protected by a turtleback on the Nevadas and Pennsylvanias) their main weakness being rather thin deck armor was completely rectified by 1942-1943 and all of them had incredibly accurate guns and reliable fire control radars. I actually did an entire project on this during my high school year for my last history class. It was called something like "On the Subject of Armor, Penetration, and Design of WW1-WW2 Battleships." it was rather amateurish to what I know know but it still got most of the basics right.

[@christiansee2500]

@@ThatGuyOrbyThe 15"/42 was one of the best naval guns in history. There is a reason a 30 year old gun was placed on HMS Vanguard. It arguably is superior to the American 16"/45 Mk1. The KGVs had 14.7 inches of belt, far more than the rather pathetic 12.2" belt on the North Cals. The British and Americans also shared radar and fire control technology with each other. The Hood technically has a stronger belt than the North Cal. Another thing is that it is only fair to compare QE and Valiant with the post-refit standards and even that is stretching it. The refit standards were modernised ¬1942, but the QEs were modernised in 1937. The standards were aso far too slow. At least the QEs stand a reasonable chance of keeping up with the refit Italian BBs, and there's always the refitted Renown. The turtleback armour scheme was also terrible for long range gun fights typical of WW2 as it means shells plunging down have a near perfect angle to strike the deck armour perpendicular, whereas the QEs had a flat deck, which basically is similar to an angled belt. Moreover, there is absolutely no chance that a US 14"/50 would beat the British 16"/45. The reason the Nelson's guns have such bad rep. is because thay suffered teething problems. There is also no chance that a new York or Nevada can stand up to a QE. The 15"/42 was superior to the American 14"45 and 14"/50. Even the Britsh 13.5"/45 found on the Orions had better penetration than the 14"/45 when they used the Greenboy shells. The British shells also had an above average bursting charge, as their philosophy was to have an extremely powerful shell to counter their slow speed. Another point is that armour and speed are two of the three most important things for a battleship, the other being firepower. Apart from the Iowas, the British battleships were always superior in speed. Until the KGVs, they had a firepower advantage, and starting from the KGVs, they had much better armour. May I please know your sources.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

​@@christiansee2500 The 15"/42 was an accurate and reliable gun but it's penetration was terrible and it wasn't put on the Vanguard because it was such a good gun. It's because it's what they had after the navy being starved of funding for the entire interwar period. They were objectively obsolete by WW2 but Vanguard was supposed to just be a stop-gap ship between the KGVs and what was to be the cancelled Lion class. Vanguard was even initially laid down as a Lion but was converted because projections showed it wouldn't be complete as it was planned before 1946 and that was considered unacceptable for the British high command. However their attempts at making construction shorter did not pay off. It's armor belt was thinned, it's guns were reduced in caliber and made to fit the 15"/42 because they had plenty on hand due to it's extensive usage. It was used so extensively because the British did not have the money or time to develop a new battleship gun of sufficient potency to completely replace the 15"/42 after the failure that was the 16"/45 MK1 and it's penetration, while terrible, was still marginally superior it's smaller predecessor. The KGV's armor belt was also entirely vertical and had almost non-existent supporting bulkheads behind them. They were armored to resist penetration from the 15"/42 MK1 despite being armed with 14"/45 guns. The North Carolina's 12.2in (310mm) belt was inclined at 17 degrees outboard drastically increasing it's effective thickness at longer ranges where shells come down on the belt from let's say less than oblique angles but even at perfectly oblique angles it increased the effectiveness of the belt alone to 12.76in (324.2mm) Behind which it had 5x 0.75in (19mm) bulkheads and 1x 3.35in (85mm) citadel bulkhead. That's a total protection for the citadel of 19.29in (490mm). The point about the British and Americans sharing radar is irrelevant as I already knew as much but they still never implemented the same systems the USN did. Also the Standards may be slow but slow doesn't matter if the enemy comes to you and all the advantages of a fast enemy are rather null against them post 1942. Attacking at night renders no benefit against an enemy that can see you coming anyway, opening the range won't help you much as their guns have excellent deck penetration at range, and yes you can theoretically run from them but if they're already firing at you it means you're in their range and they're likely going to maul you before you can get away. West Virginia showed as much when she landed 1-3 hits against Yamashiro at a distance of 20,900m on her first salvo in the dark of night as she was sailing towards her presenting the smallest profile the ship could've. Also the turtleback armor scheme itself was not terrible for long range engagements, it's main downside in itself was the angled plates at longer range were flat to shells striking at a roughly 30 degree angle of fall if they managed to penetrate the 1.26in (32mm) exterior torpedo blister, the 343mm (406mm over the magazines) belt, and the 5x 0.75in (19mm) bulkheads first. The reason most ships with turtlebacks are vulnerable at long range are the sacrifices it usually demanded. Having a turtleback almost always meant thin deck armor for said ship because of the extensive extra weight it consumed. This was true for Nevada and Pennsylvania as well until 1942. Their deck armor before PH was a total of 4in (104mm) each. 1in (25.4mm) main deck, 1in (25.4mm) secondary deck, in (51mm) splinter deck. Post PH it was increased to 8.25in (209.55mm) total. 3.15in (80.1mm) main deck, 3.1in (78.74mm) secondary deck, 2in (51mm) splinter deck. That's only 0.25in (6.35mm) less than an Iowa's total deck protection of which their armor was excellent for long range gunnery duels. If you want to know in depth exactly the proven and tested penetration numbers of each gun from tests done by their respective navies against armor plate with an equivalent quality per thickness of 1.00 (meaning the armor is effectively 1 to 1 with the thickness of the plate) you can visit Navweaps.com as it'll tell you everything I did. I'll provide you some example ranges to show exactly how bad British penetration was. 16"/45 MK1: 14.4in at 15,000yds (366mm at 13,716m), 12.2in at 20,000yds (310mm at 18,288m), 10.3in at 25,000yds (261mm at 22,860m), 8.8in at 30,000yds (224mm at 27,432m) 14"/50 MKB: 16.76in at 15,00yds (426mm at 13,716m), 13.75in at 20,000yds (349mm at 18,288m), 11.27in at 25,000yds (286mm at 22,860m), 9.29in at 30,000yds (236mm at 27,432m) I have some pretty damn bad news for ya about the 15"/42 MK1 if you think that was embarrassing because the MK12s also outperform their bigger contemporary. However the MK12 has some weird tested ranges which don't line up like the others but they still get the point across. 15″/42 MK1: 16.5in at 10,000yds (422mm at 9,144m), 13.9in at 15,000yds (353mm at 13,716m), 11.7in at 20,000yds (297mm at 18,288m), 10.2in at 25,000yds (259mm at 22,860m) 14″/45 MK12: 18in at 11,500yds (457mm at 10,520m), 16in at 14,800yds (406mm at 13,530m), 12in at 23,400yds (305mm at 21,400m) 11.1in at 24,500yds (281.94mm at 22,400m) I must point out your assertion that they "always had the firepower advantage to till the KGVs" is completely false. Every Standard (Nevada through Colorado class, those are the "Standard classes") to carry 14in guns carried 10-12 which were superior penetrators to their 15in counterparts and the ones that didn't carry 14in guns carried 8 16"/45 guns which were even superior to the 14"/50 MKB in penetration. Also final point. Not a single Royal Navy battleship from 1910-1945 had better armor protection than a single one of the USN Standard Type Super Dreadnoughts (once again for clarity that means the Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Meixco, Tennessee, and Colorado classes). British quality was 5.1% ahead of American quality (0.89 QTP to 0.95 QTP) in WW1 and 10% in the 1930s (1.00 QTP to 1.10 QTP) but was completely on par by 1945 (1.00 QTP to 1.00 QTP), it should be noted that the last closing of the gap was due to British quality decreasing and not American quality rising. This 5% to 10% edge was never enough to seriously give the British an edge as the Americans simply layered a ridiculous amount of armor onto their ships. It's why the Standards only made 21.5 knots, 22.9 on a good day. Americans covered them in external torpedo blisters, gave them incredibly thick belts (even thicker over the magazines), gave them multiple layers of bulkheads, and one final much thicker main bulkhead over the magazines and machinery spaces. The Standards were built on the principal of Firepower, Protection, and uniformity over all. It was a philosophy that made incredibly tough and powerful ships. Their reputation is however stained by the biased circumstance that was the surprise attack on PH when all of them were still in 1920s-1930s refit (meaning very little AA and their inadequate as-built deck armor), had all their water tight doors open, had their ammunition, propellant, and black powder for the saluting guns lined outside the magazines for inspection, the AA ready use lockers being locked and with the crews unable to find the keys, and the general disadvantage of being attacked by surprise when they though nobody would dare attack the Pacific Fleet which was one of the most powerful naval forces in the world at the time. My sources are both from Navweaps.com. Namely their pages on the individual weapons and their page on metallurgy from the 1800s to the 1960s.

All I can see now is that history channel meme. "Ahead of the Japanese ships, is there last line of American defense before Leyte Gulf. 8 Cruisers and 6 old battleships steaming across the northern mouth of the straight. They are all that stands between the Japanese and Leyte." Yeah. Just 6 'old' battleships man. You got this. Not an understatement to try and make it seem like anything other than the clubbing of a baby seal. Not at all.

[@MichaelScheele]

What happened in 1943 was American industry ramped up production of cargo ships like the "Liberty Ships." The US would also build massive numbers of landing craft for D-Day in 1944. American wartime production was staggering, enough to fight in both theaters of war and to aid its allies too.

[@PhycoKrusk]

The French are actually some of the toughest fighters in the world. I'm fond of the saying (that I may have made up, I don't know), "The Frenchman has three principle occupations; food, romance, and war, and God help the poor soul that forces him to pursue all three at once." You can see the military capability of the French in how badly they beat the Romans, how long they successfully engaged the English, and how quickly they conquered Europe under Napoleon. Their stunning defeats in the French Revolution, World War I and World War II are not the fault of the French people, but the fault of the decadent aristocracy who took over the institution for their own glory and rapidly destroyed it from the inside out through their incompetence and greed. That same aristocracy had also entered into the government. This is why they surrendered almost immediately to the Nazis; because it was the easiest way for them to retain their privilege and comfort, even if it came at the cost of national pride and was built on the backs of the rest of the country. (They were briefly cleared out while Charles de Gaulle led the provisional government, and were kept away while he was Prime Minister and later President, but they have since gotten themselves back in)

[@Sam-pv1hz]

When did the French beat the Romans? Considering France wasn't even declared a country until the 700's. I'm not that good at math but that's still something like 200 years late to fight the Roman's.

I remember reading some letters from French troops at the Maginot line, they were pissed AF at how the government pretty much stabbed them in the back, due to the countries experience in WW1. The general consensus (at least from what I read) was pretty much "Yeah, we understand that WW1 sucked and all, but at least give us the opportunity to not let our people down."

[@Matt.71]

the main problem in 40 wasn't that they were expecting a WW1 style of war, it was that they couldnt impose it on the germans because of Huntziger fucking the defense of the ardennes, and their impreparation for war, most of what they had was WW1 equipment upgraded to WW2 standards and their aviation which in WW1 made up for half of all planes of all nations fighting, was now either made half of old french designs and half of a bit more modern american ones with modern french aircrafts just entering production

[@SoloRenegade]

the "carriers" the US lost at Leyte, were Escort Carriers. Literally converted transports. No armor, added a flight deck and hangar.

[@Jeremiah90526]

One was a converted Cleveland Class Light Cruiser, the other two were purpose built Casablancas. The Casablanca class was built around the basic hull of a cargo carrier, but was changed to be more ideal to the purpose of being a Carrier. So while yes, they were built in the manner of a transport, they were never converted, they were keel up made to be Carriers.

[@SoloRenegade]

[@Jeremiah90526]

@@SoloRenegade Slightly off topic, but if you ever want to learn a bit more about the PT boats, read "They Were Expendable." Those really were boats crewed by 20 guys, had a Lieutenant JG for a skipper, and were told to pit their 80 ton boat against Japanese Destroyers and transports. Losses were expected to be heavy, but it didn't matter because a dozen PT boats being sunk with all hands lost was better than a single Destroyer being sunk. WWII was made with a lot of cold calculations involved.

[@lazyidiotofthemonth]

In absolute numbers it looks a certain way, but what they don't comment on is the disparity in Naval doctrine, or relative capability in class. While the British, Americans and French Heavy Cruisers and Battleships up to 1939 were heavily restricted by the Washington Naval treaty in tonnage, which lead to a number of trade off in Naval designs during the 1930s, the Japanese, Italians and Germans more or less ignored it despite being signatories, but because of their limit naval production capacity, could only produce 2 or 3 'Super' Battleships. Where as the United States managed to pump out 8 Battleships (4 South Dakota, 4 Iowa Class) that were arguably better than the Bismark or Yamato Class ships, largely due to South Dakotas and Iowas being faster, and having better targeting equipment, and significantly better AA defenses. The USA was unusual in another way, at the time Frigates were a seperate class of ships, but frigates between two Navies were most certainly not equal. American 'Frigates' were world spaning ocean going ships, usually larger and more powerful than most Navies' Destroyers, and the American Destroyer classes like Fletchers and Sumners were almost pocket Cruisers in terms of Armament and Armor.

The Bismarck had only sunk due to scuttling because the British carrier Ark Royal had sent planes and one of the plane got a good hit with a torpedo and hit Bismarck’s rudders and it caused Bismarck to be stuck going in circles. Bismarck most definitely could’ve taken out more ships but simply wasn’t capable of doing it.

[@cyrosubod2317]

[@SuwinTzi]

Minor corrections on Bismarck; she wasn't the biggest or baddest at the time, but she was definitely the Kriegsmarine's newest and first attempt at building a modern battleship since...WW1 I guess. The rest of the world had been allowed to keep building battleships, while German naval architects hadn't had there practice in awhile, so Bismarck was essentially built based off outdated knowledge. Her armor was good for close range engagements, as well as the convoys she was expected to raid, but it was insufficient for longer ranged engagements with her contemporaries. Her fire control power and information lines were also susceptible to her own artillery's shockwaves, losing coms and power at times to artillery plotting. And after she was lost, KM naval architects took the lessons learned and applied them to Tirpitz; the steering area had armor increased, better protection in the oil/fuel areas, armoring her power and systems cables, etc

If you are wondering what happened to the French navy most of it just stopped because the crew left for Britain but there where a few ships that wanted to fight on, Britain fearing they would fall into German hands gave the crews a chance to leave, they didn't, so Britain fired on the French navy sinking most or taking the ships out of action
