Naval Legends: Aurora | World of Warships

📖 Historical ships in the game 👉 wo.ws/3kAwWlZ
🔔 / @worldofwarshipsoffici...
To walk the decks of the cruiser Aurora is to know Russian history. Named for the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora made an epic transoceanic voyage and fought in the disastrous Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War, covering the Russian retreat and surviving to return home. She later served in World War I and fired the first (blank) shot to mark the assault on the Winter Palace at the start of the October Revolution. During World War II, her crew demounted her guns and deployed them in the hard-fought Siege of Leningrad.
Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

Aurora's crew survived Tsushima because they were already accustomed to being shot at, after numerous friendly fire incidents while making the journey to Vladivostok from the Bearing Sea. The Voyage of the Damned is a good read.

Do you see torpedo boats?

[@diorocks5858]

Yea its epic story of poor discipline and terrible gunnery and poor leadership..2nd squad it's so crazy ..attacking thing boats and missing..I think they managed 2 hits themselves on themselves before the admiral got decapitated...

[@overboss9599]

@@diorocks5858 the Admiral in charge of the whole thing was perfectly competent, the captains under his command not so much.....

[@ylmazirdenyazc8393]

Russians were Charging to the decks at Stormy Weathers to shover because of the overheating at the Boiler rooms.

[@isabellalofton263]

Wow . . . A beautiful ship with a truly rich and amazing history. Possibly the most incredible story not just of a Russian ship, but any ship. The fact that this ship is preserved and well cared for to this day is a gift and an example. Yes, warships are built to kill and destroy, and we shouldn't forget that, but they are also so much more.

[@_b_x_b_1063]

In the USSR, the Aurora was rebuilt in the 1980s, where half of the ship is new.

[@russell7852]

Every time I see one of these Naval Legends with the actual ship it brings a tear to my eye its nice that people care enough to preserve the history and story of these steel beasts for future generations to enjoy

[@Orinslayer]

It's also quite amazing that a pre-dreadnought cruiser still exists!

[@a1700zz]

Aurora is a excellent ship. She has rapid fire and is versitale. Along with Varyag, two of the best Russo Japanese warships to have in the game.

[@mybugatti100]

Not that I'm complaining but we need a naval legend on Bismarck. It's doable

[@RISINGWOLFMOON]

mybugatti100 yes, if Yamato got an episode the Bismarck deserves one

[@outwardpanicjoe8950]

mybugatti100 true I would like to see one on the enterprise

[@mybugatti100]

Well, they got Iowa and New Jersey done so I think they'll do any ship, just the ones that brings them more profit

[@ledshot5230]

Or H.M.S Hood and maybe her being available in game.

[@WalkingCrap]

Thing is, they tend to do these Naval Legends episodes on ships that actually survived as museum ships, hence the amount of US ships in this series, the only exception being the Yamato. The Yamato however was filmed with a massive 1:10 scale model, I'm not aware of anything similar existing for the Bismarck. So it's not about profit, it's the chosen format for this series that kinda limits it.

[@RISINGWOLFMOON]

This is such an interesting series! I love watching stuff about military history, especially WWI & WWII. I mainly study tanks and all around general knowledge, but these help me learn about a subject I don't know much about. The mighty ships of war and the navy's that used them.

[@darylgoodman3326]

To be honest i see this as better than most of the History channel such... they do a really good job.

[@csigunner5087]

I wonder if they could do USS Laffey DD-724. In a japanese aerial attack the Laffey took 6 kamikazies and 4 bombs (or was it 4 kamikazies and 6 bombs) and remained afloat. She is now at patriots point where USS Yorktown CV-10 is also anchored. They did a naval legends on Yorktown once.

[@jerryumfress9030]

Hello from Tennessee, i'm always happy to see when countries preserve their history, especially warships. Very good video, this is a beautiful ship, I hope it stays this way for a very long time! The Russians have preserved a very important part of their history

[@85LARGE]

It is actually cut off below the water line. The real hull is long gone. This thing now is a weld-made new hull.

[@rivertemlett3460]

I actually work on steam engines and coal dust can also be explosive

[@healer229aqw]

Interesting, can you make a naval legend video on Yukikaze? Rumor said that this ship sucked the luck out of all other IJN warships to survive the hardest battles with almost no damage dealt to her.

[@mrswimmytanker7422]

Maybe but I notice most ships they do is still around but the few they did was sunk was ment to be the best in the world

[@RedXlV]

I suppose Aurora will be a quest reward for Christmas and that's why she's being profiled?

[@Rumirumi_]

I doubt it. Tier III cruiser Oleg which is tested atm seems like a more appropriate choice. Giving away a premium ship that is in the premium shop would be a dick move towards the people who bought it (including me).

[@santiagotrujillotobon1879]

Rumirumi meavy give away one of her sisters ship?

[@Swarm509]

They gave away tanks like that in World of Tanks. Usually just a cheap low tier tank and if you already owned it you got the gold equivalent.

[@RedXlV]

Aurora's been given away before and probably will again in the future. When that happens anybody who already owns the ship gets the doubloon value instead.

[@ruedelta]

Remember that the WoT developers are not the same as the WOWS developers. IIRC they are associated with Studio Lesta and were acquired by Wargaming.

[@HoshikawaHikari]

Thanks Azur Lane, I’ve never got interest in this ship until I rolled her as my first SR in the game, which led me to watching this~

Wargaming is seriously detailed when making the world of warship,the detailed everthing except the cru of the ships and submarines(the only negative side),wargaming also have give us history and detail about ships we play at,makes the game more cinematic and beautifull,keep up the good work,wargaming!,i am a heavy battleships fan's,unfortunately i lived at Indonesia,so i didn't stand a chance to visit one of historical mighty ships but i played world of warship for years now,i also draw many many ship at the back of my school text book,lol,anyone as crazy as me??? :D
