The Japanese edge in night fighting came from a mix of training and doctrine. Night lookouts were specifically selected exclusively from men with the best night vision, there was almost always coordination with float planes that would fly in before a battle to drop illumination flares directly over the enemy ships (or to blind them), and they were trained extensively in night combat while (at the time) the US Navy didn't put nearly as much effort into it. Which is part of what makes the USS Washington sinking the Kirishima as impressive as it was. Part of the reason why its accuracy was so spectacular is because Lee somehow stealthed *a fucking battleship* to practically point-blank range and then let loose with every gun the ship had. He somehow got the ship to the naval equivalent of knife-fighting range and they never spotted him until it was WAY too late.

[@Yamato-tp2kf]

The Japanese also had better night optics than those used by the US Navy... And most of the night battles that the US Navy lost were due most due to underestimating the enemy and incompetency (the best example being a certain Callahan...)

[@saintcynicism2654]

@@Yamato-tp2kf We also *badly* underestimated the range of their long lances, which led to more than one scenario where US ships kept moving in predictable paths because they (mistakenly) thought they were out of range. And then got their shit absolutely wrecked a few moments later when the torpedoes hit.

[@adamtruong1759]

I believe what helped the USS Washington sneak up on Kirishima was a complete lack of moonlight to help the Japanese spotters keep an eye out, and they were all kind of tunnel visioned on beating up the USS South Dakota which was lucky to even be afloat.

My first Tour overseas was in Motor Pool, specifically Mechanic (3521/22, Anything with wheels), and especially 'Recovery' (Going and and recovering disabled vehicles in the field.). Being the only female in most Units, but also one who Qualified 'Expert' with small arms (Yes, IRON sights), I only had one C.O. question the request from my platoon Sgt./Lt., and when he doubted my ability to shoot, I bet him $100.00 I could hit a soda can (We weren't allowed to drink beer in Saudi. Yeah, that sucked) at 100 yds with my first hit. With $200.00 in my pocket, I accompanied my fellow Marines throughout that Tour, in recovering many vehicles, and used my Marksmanship to cover/protect them many times. So, 'Accuracy' is to me, the single most important thing. While calling-in airstrikes is a phenomenal experience (GO Warthogs, GO!), stopping the enemy in their tracks out to/past 500 yards? Hell. Yes. Now, to apply those skills to NAVAL cannons? Holy shit. That's a whole 'nuther level of skill, that is! :-) P.S. Eradicating rodents/pests, esp. onboard ships, is not a trait of Masochism. Said rodents not only compromise food/water supplies, but spread illness throughout vessels via their urine/feces. Making an 'Art/Sport' out of ending them is just common sense.

Against the IJN Kirishima, Lee hit around 66% of the time. Typically naval gunnery before Lee maxed out at 10% hits. Lee only claimed to hit about 6 times with the main guns (and he thought this was excellent) they found the other hits when they discovered the wreck of the Kirishima.

[@m2hmghb]

Just an FYI Lee would have had a hatred of rats and mice because of their spoiling the grain at farms. That's why he was called to exterminate them growing up. Being on a ship is even worse because of how short your rations are so anything they get into is less that the sailors can eat. Add to that boredom and you can see why he would do fuckery like that. My dad learned how to trap growing up and the Air Force perfected it in SERE school. He always had fun on halloween putting up traps. He also put traps out as a practical joke at work, he got his sgt with a mouse trap he rigged up that actually flung a fake mouse in her face when she opened the drawer on her desk. Also when dad was a volunteer fire fighter in the 60s the cigarettes were in vending machines and he had started smoking at 10.

28:31 as a USMC vet... I can confirm that during my gaurd training, I had a 2 star General (base commander that I knew his face) show up at an armory at 2am with a fake ID that I had to detain due to "false documents"... (found out later that was a regular part of Gaurd training)

[@ryanhampson673]

The proximity fuse was one of the secret weapons that helped win the war. It was so secret they called it the "VT" or "Variable time" fuse. Like he said in the video all the other anti air fuses worked on some sort of mechanical timing. There were several but the two most common were Mechanical and PTTF fuses. Mechanical fuses had a sort of clockwork mechanism inside that you would select the setting before firing. So the gunner commander would have to determine the enemy aircrafts distance and height and then figure out the travel time of the shell in seconds, then have the crews select that setting on the fuse before firing. And they had to keep updating the time because the enemy aircraft are constantly changing their range. The other type PTTF, stand for Powder Train Time fuse. In stead of a clockwork mechanism it had a line of black powder that burned. You selected the setting and it would start the fire at that length of the powder until its specified detonation time. As you could see this was a huge amount of work and calculations to do while getting bombed and shot at, so when they came out with a fuse that did it all for you it was a huge burden lifted. Cool fact with the VT "Proximity" fuses is they are powered by a thermal battery. In the cut away you can see a small oval shaped vial. This is a glass vial filled with some sort of electrolyte. When the round was fired it would break the vial and the electrolyte would mix with some other part and generate heat which then generated power for the radar to work. It was a huge accomplishment to not only miniaturize radar but also create it to survive the acceleration of being shot out of a cannon...And all done over 80 years ago. WW2 had a lot more advanced stuff in it that most people realize.

[@LWolf12]

The number of people who cheated on their eye exams and went on to do amazing things in the military is crazy.

[@Johndoe-jd]

34:47 it depends on a lot of things: range, speed, age of guns, the ship in question, weather, wind, the crew, the location of the barrel, the type of shell being fired (incendiary, explosive, armor piercing, semi-armor piercing, nuclear), and many other factors. The most accurate American Battleships (The Iowa Class) is the most accurate. With fine weather, no wind, 20ish miles range, newish guns, standstill ship (either the Iowa is standing still and it is a land target or when both ships are going near the same speed), and a well trained crew can hit a target within 600ish yards (540ish meters) using only the original fire control system. With both the original and modern targeting systems working together, you are hitting a target within 400ish yards (360ish meters). (Fun Fact: the guns on the class was so accurate with the 1940s equipment that by the 1990s the new targeting systems, AEGIS which is still used today, was put on the ships only for the missiles. Yes the 1940s mark 38 gun fire control system was as accurate as the modern missile targeting system.) On average the Iowas have a hit to miss ratio of around 7/9. They can make up that lost with the fast rate of fire of 2 rounds per minute per barrel meaning 9 rounds can be fired as a broadside (all firing at once. Which is actually bad for the guns) every 30 seconds. Or can be shot as a rolling fire at 3 seconds (one barrel shoots wait three seconds then the next barrel shoots. This can go on until the target in question is sunk/destroyed or until the ship runs out of ammo.) This is where USS New Jersey got part of her nickname of black dragon. (This is the dragon part. When the guns fire the flash hangs around about 1-2ish seconds. The black part was from her darker paint job.) And that’s without using the missiles and the Katie shells which are 25 kiloton nuclear rounds. As for the accurately for the Katie rounds you can miss by a few hundred yards and still be a hit.

[@Scaphism36]

About your thoughts at 32:00, at that point in time his word was pretty much gospel as far as anyone in the military was concerned. He probably had two or three “rungs on the ladder” of people who had more authority than him so he wasn’t some junior guy breaking rules, he basically WAS the rulebook

[@adamtruong1759]

29:34 Long story short, the Japanese before WW2 started (or at least officially, they've been invading China for 2 years before Germany invaded Poland) have been training for years in a doctrine called "Kantai Kessen" which basically means they'll gain victory in one massive fleet battle basically since the 1900s, heavily inspired by their victory in the Battle of Tsushima in 1905 against Russia. One of the ways they planned on achieving this was they were going to use their cruisers and destroyers against US Battleships at night with their infamous "Type 93" torpedoes (large explosives, very large, very fast, very long range, almost invisible, sometimes a little too volatile) because they know that they can't stand up against the more power countries in a straight up fight for very long. One of the tactics they would use would be fire off the torpedoes at enemy fleets, once the torpedoes hit they open fire with their guns in a surprise attack. So the Japanese trained rigorously in night combat, tactics like using search planes to light up enemy ships at night, developed optics that very large and could channel a lot of moonlight to help the spotters see (this was so good in fact that the US never managed to develop better optics, but the US also had radar so there was that). These tactics would allow the Japanese to win many victories at night from December 7th of '41 to late-mid 1943. The Guadalcanal Campaign was honestly just pain and sadness to learn about from the US perspective except when Willis "Ching" Lee showed up.

[@WNC_BUCKEYE]

Admiral Scott was a fighter as well he won at Esperance and would have most likely handled the Bar Room Brawl better than Callaghan. After Lee our best gunfighter was probably Tip Merrill. Empress Augusta Bay was a near perfect action.

[@adamtruong1759]

@@WNC_BUCKEYE That's fair. Admiral Scott was even on of the people in the USN that didn't buy that Japan couldn't make good torpedoes, and Empress Augusta Bay was a real showcase to how much the US had learned since Savo Island. But Lee is a man who I genuinely think, if the Allies had more people like him in charge, the Axis powers would be sent packing so quickly.

Also for what it's worth, it wasn't the first time a battleship was sunk ever, just the first time it was a straight battleship fight and one went down. Usually the battleships are more of a shield for the lighter craft than they are a weapon, though they have a lot of firepower too.

The best information I can find, says there weren’t any age restrictions put on the sale/use of tobacco products until 1990, in the state of Kentucky. In addition to that, the risks of tobacco use weren’t widely known by the general public until about the 1960’s. (People suspected it could have negative health effects, for hundreds of years, but it couldn’t be 100% proven. Then a direct link was made in the 1920’s and then the irrefutable connection was finally widely published in the 1960’s). So suffice to say….yes.

The big advantage Japanese planes (or any planes, really) had against warships was the ships' wakes. At night, a smooth ocean surface is pretty much solid black from above - one of the key aspects which doomed the RMS Titanic; the ocean was so calm that there were no wakes/whitecaps which would allow spotters to see where the icebergs were. Warships, however, produce a pretty substantial wake when moving and they are clearly visible from overhead. The closest analogy which comes to mind is contrails in the sky - you look up and see contrails, white streaks clearly visible against a bright blue sky, and you can instantly tell which way the plane is going and likely spot exactly where the plane is even if you can't see the actual plane itself. Overhead planes could just as easily spot where ships were simply by observing their wakes. Filling the night sky with phosphorous was like a car shining their super-bright high-beams directly at oncoming traffic at night; pilots could no longer distinguish the wakes and the seas appeared to be uniformly black, leaving them with absolutely no idea where the ships might be. (Meanwhile, a night sky glowing with white phosphorous doesn't affect radar in the slightest.)

well, the Bismark sank the HMS Hood after just 3 salvo's scoring 5 hits, and the Hood went down in 3 minutes taking all but 3 of her crew down with her, and a week later, 5 British Battleships opened up on the Bismark and scored more than 400 hits with heavy 15 and 16 inch shells, and scoring another 6 or 7 torpedo hits before she finally went down, so I think it depends on which battleship you are shooting from and which battleship is being shot at, the Bismark landed 1 very lucky shell at a very lucky spot on the Hood, that nearly no one knew about but once that shell's breeching charge detonated deep inside one of the ships powder magazines, she tore herself apart similar to what happened to the U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, see TODAY, much like back then, pretty much ANY NAVAL vessel has onboard more than enough to sink ITSELF, and IF you can set off those weapons, well, then you have the Hood or Arizona, now granted those 2 instances are in fact outlier's, usually especially with a ship like a BATTLESHIP, it is a fight, and NOT an easy one once you consider the sheer amount of ARMOR that you have to penetrate to get it to lose buoyancy, as we found out later in the war, when it took us HOURS to sink the Japanese Super battleships Musashi and Yamato, BUT we did not sink them with other Battleships, those we sank with multiple airstrikes each!

It is quite the boast in skill to be able to shoot a bird mid-flight with a .22. Most birds, particularly smaller ones, do not fly perfectly straight lines, so hitting them with a single bullet instead of something like birdshot out of a shotgun, which is basically a cloud of ultra-hi-speed BBs, is extremely difficult. As for why he would shoot birds, it would mostly be pigeons. Sure, there was the carrier pigeon used for long-range communication up to WW1, but by and large, pigeons were considered to be pests because of how you would find them wherever there is a bunch of people. What made them pests was not so much their behavior - though they could get into places most pests could not - but rather the amount of poop even an individual pigeon would leave behind, and if you thought it was bad for your car's paint, try where the food stores are and put a whole flock of pigeons around it. This is why pigeons had a reputation for being "flying rats," and it is still possible to this day to make a bit of a living by shooting pigeons, though that does depend on where you do it. To shoot birds and really most pests with bullets rather than birdshot, all while avoiding collateral damage, you need to use very small ammunition. BBs are some of the more common ammo used because of how difficult it is for them to damage most structural materials collaterally, but they were generally better suited for indoor use because of their ultra-low speeds and their much quieter firing. Outdoors, .22 is a better choice, but it runs into the same problems BBs do, even if it is to a lesser degree. The biggest problem of all is just how easy it is for the weather - namely wind - to blow a .22 off-course. One of the best tricks to reduce the effect of wind on bullet flight is to make it faster and/or heavier, but faster and/or heavier bullets usually end up needing jacketing (it's basically a thin shell that holds the projectile's shape as it flies), and if there is jacketing, the damage a bullet can cause skyrockets (relatively speaking), which makes jacketed bullets a poor choice for dealing with small pests. This is why bullets like the .22 and other similarly sized ones are used for the task. So to recap, you have a tiny target with a fairly unpredictable pattern, and if you do not want to damage anything else, you have to use a bullet small and slow enough that nature can and often will make you miss. So for Lee to have a good reputation as pest control and at the age of 10 is quite the feat to have.
