Great episode. Keep them coming

[@aswd45-mk14]

I would love to see the old intro of naval legend :D

I'm honestly impressed by the quality of these videos. Haven't seen a bad 'Naval Legends' and probably never will. Thanks for for the high quality content!

[@atlas_1802]

Agreed, I love the Naval Legends series! High quality, and never disappoints me.

[@VRDenshaOtaku]

Finally someone showed off this, I had a grandfather who served on the HMAS Uralba, when he passed away in 2015 he was scattered over the wreck (scuttled in 1971 for a reef) as he loved serving on that ship

[@diddlebug7241]

Very well maintained vessel. The ship looks as if it's just waiting for the engineering crew to come light the boilers so they can get under way.

[@gooseliver2297]

I'm actually from Castlemaine and I never knew that we had a corvette named after our land locked town. Good to know, that we have a ship named after us.

[@nickheffernan123]

It's an icon of Williamstown, and i highly recommend the fish and chips at the start of the pier!

The fact that people need subtitles for oldmate is beautiful.

[@rogueblade7865]

Been onboard her a few times. If I remember correctly, the engines are electrically powered now to turn over so they can demonstrate to the visiting public what it was like for the engines to be working. The volunteers are a good bunch of people who take great care of her. Well done, a nice video. Hopefully the first ship in a Commonwealth tech tree or at least a premium ship to join HMAS Vampire (not HMS as is on the Vampire's life rings).

[@jasperbuursma209]

If they go through the trouble of making her like she looks now and fit her with Electric motors just to show her beauty (because damn, that looks good), you know she is in superb hands... Great to see those volunteers, in a great series; keep this up Wargaming & Volunteers!

[@HMASTroll]

Great documentary. Grandfather served on the Bathurst Class, HMAS Launceston, this was helpful in putting a face (ship) to what he experienced.

[@pozgaming4665]

I've always loved the Bathurst-class corvettes. Someday, I'm gonna go see her in person.

[@gabewj8690]

My great grandfather was a stoker on this ship. I’ve seen it in person. Very well maintained and beautiful ship.

[@bobjackson4720]

This is a very high quality and informative video. Really enjoyed it. As a former power station worker I had great sympathy for what the crew must have suffered. In the power station we also listened for changes in noise levels, and flickers on the lights. After leaving it took years for the adrenaline response to stop.

[@tyronedlisle4412]

[@brentclanton1]

I was part of the crew when she was towed by HMAS Ardent around to the museum in 1974 when I was at the Gunnery & Seamanship School at HMAS Cerberus

11.02 is my Dad's workplace on the Castlemaine in 1945. I believe he was the first on board to know of Japan's surrender.

[@homiespaghetti1522]

I always love naval legends

[@darrylguise8493]

I may have been on this ship the last time it travelled under its own power. In 1967 with 2 officers(CMDR M W Hudson and myself) and a small number of crew, we steamed from Cerberus to Williamstown for some minor maintenance. Had a tug to escort us just in case, but outran it up the bay. I think we achieved design speed and the tug asked if she could have the engines! I wasn't on the return trip so maybe it was the second last time under power. The bridge had been stripped so navigation was by a magnetic compass on a makeshift wooden stand - the bridge was not enclosed at that time. Someone else has remarked that she was towed to the museum in 1974 and I doubt she required docking between 1967 and 1974.

[@calinvaida301]

As always the naval legends are amazing pieces of history. Many thanks

[@flashfire2906]

Great video. I recommend HMAS Yarra.

[@invader218]

Corvettes can be a new class in wows

[@thegonk1265]

A very interactive ship too, they even let you turn the bofors gun yourself with the crank.

[@pshehan1]

I live in Melbourne and have visited the Castlemaine at Williamstown, but that was many years ago. Knowing more about the ship from this video I think i will visit again.

[@maruyu4867]

Thank you WG for making Naval Legends to its track again Maybe this isnt appropriate but already purchased the latest USS Wichita because I dont want losing faith where sums of our contribution (purchases of premiums) DOES help this series grow as well! Thank you again for delivers what I love.

[@Pyeknu]

Okay, if you did Castlemaine, then you've GOT to do HMCS Sackville!

[@99IronDuke]

Good video. I have visited HMAS Castlemaine and she is well worth going to see in Williamstown, near Melbourne.

[@stradplayer90]

Her being a training ship makes sense why the engine equipment can still spin as a museum. I bet Texas cannot turn her equipment over

[@huntercurts9998]

She would snap in half now Or just sink

[@davidjones341]

if her hull was restored her engines might run them old steamers are hard to kill

[@huntercurts9998]

I think the engines mounts on the texas are so rusted. That if an engine runs it will break of the mounts

[@gregbuckenara8063]

Who remembers having the Castlemaine alongside at HMAS Cerberus. And using the Ship for Survival At Sea Training at Recruit School. It was a fair drop from the Starboard Bridge Wing into the water.

[@wntu4]

At 15 knots max speed that poor lass was escaping from no one. Even a sub would have easily out run it on the surface. Surprisingly slow and short ranged. I like that they had the sense to enclose the bridge though.

[@b577960]

Really enjoyed watching this video- she is certainly well maintained. Great little ship

[@harrydardanel7893]

One of the sister ships was given to the Turkish Navy. After decommissioning was used by merchant marine academy, under the name " Hamit Naci."

Sadly Texas could collapse under her own weight if moved.

[@merafirewing6591]

Be crazy if Mighty T can move under her own power without collapsing. Throw in Aurora.

[@TalladegaNight]

not an impressive ship in terms of size, speed or arms. but thats ok. Its ships like these that were the workhorses of the war. Unlike the big capital ships like Yamato and Iowa that really just sat in the back not fighting. aside from fighting aircraft. Its the smaller boats that won the wats.

[@brockbayley5279]

@Wayne Haile A ship is any vessel which can carry another vessel on board, which the Bathurst class did, thus making them Ships

[@legogenius1667]

Those engines looked almost ready to run, is there any way of restoring her to sailing order?

[@rambokiller1000]

insurance cost will probably hurt to much, as it's volunteer run not government run + getting a crew that will take it out in sailing in harbour or out of harbour would not be worth for a musuem ship

[@nickheffernan123]

I believe the engines can actually still be run according to the volunteers! I've been many times :-)

Lightly armed and slow, you were in trouble from just about any enemy ship or plane...still, they were essential in the service they performed.

[@USSAnimeNCC-]

So that how they clear mine I thought some poor diver have to disarm it or they have to pull on board

[@Predator42ID]

Nope the standard way of destroying mines is cutting their tethers and shooting them with small arms. Same goes for bombs.

[@mystikmind2005]

Did they really say 15 knots top speed?? uhhh, most of the modern subs of ww2 were faster than that on the surface, some even going as fast as that while submerged! I guess they figured they could upgrade the engines later on as time permitted?

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

They weren't supposed to be fast. Just cheap to build lots of quickly and fast enough to keep up with Merchantmen.
