There hasn't been a conflict in human history as ballsy as World War 2, ever before or since.

Well I'll disagree. Going face to face with a man in a sword fight was a whole different level of savagery. You felt when the sword dealt the death blow. You heard his pain and screams. WW2 soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines had balls of steel for sure. But stabbing a guy was a different level of savagery. I'll ask that you look at the Battle of Alesia and see what the Romans and Celts did and what was accomplished it was savagery and impressive. And didn't occur at 260mph

@@bificommander7472 True, Japanese AA was actually notoriously lacking in WW2 and most carriers were dependent on their CAP to protect them from aircraft.

@@samarkand1585 ACTUALLY there is only about 20-30 seconds of rough footage of them diving, which is cut in and out of, so who is to say, on top of the 20-30 seconds, where each segment starts and the previous ends. The SBD Dauntless dove from about 8,000+ feet, and with dive brakes deployed, which you can see that they are in the footage, they would be diving at a speed of about 260 mph. 260 mph is 380 feet per second, 8000 feet divided by 380 feet per second is 21 seconds, SO YES INCLUDING THE 20 SECOND LONG DIVE.

Even these days the vast majority of navies don't even have 1 carrier. Losing 4 at a time of war, when raw materials are already scarce, 70 years ago would be more devastating in magnitude.

[@petezereeeah]

@@Lekirius Yes. The Japanese absolutely lost the war at the conclusion of this battle. They were never on the offense again. Some say they suicides when the first bomb hit Pearl Harbor. The Japanese managed to build 3 carriers during the war following this battle. The United States built a total of 64 escort and fleet carriers. The Japanese climbed into the ring with Uncle Sam, and got annialated to a degree that made God himself turn his head from the sight of it.

[@henrycooper3431]

Whats worse than losing 4 carriers is that of the entire aircrafts of various type carried by these 9 carriers *and* their base on Guam island were completely destroyed with like 3 dozens or so making it home, effectively making all but 1 carrier left in a barely functional state to fight the war Hence their tactic changed to kamikaze to make the most out of the newbies and their planes
