In the second world war there were many examples of courage and determination in the face of terrible odds. Two inspirational examples are those of HMS Rawalpindi and HMS Jervis Bay, two former ocean liners converted to escort friendly ships. Both stumbled upon some of the most powerful warships in the Atlantic but, although totally outclassed in weapons and armour, fought engagements to the death so their friends and comrades would survive.
This video is dedicated to the memory of the maritime artist Anton Logvynenko who sacrificed his own life fighting for his homeland in Ukraine.
Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels- from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania. Join maritime researcher and illustrator Michael Brady as he tells the stories behind some of history's most famous ocean liners and machines!

Hi KZbin! Because of the recent rise in KZbin channels that straight up plagiarize content, I have decided to start listing my sources in detail for each video. This video used these reference points: 1. AGAINST ALL ODDS - HMS RAWALPINDI By Stephen Cashmore and David Bews (an amazing read!) www.caithnessarchives.org.uk/caithness/rawalpindi.htm 2. hmsjervisbay.com/ (Very well-run website with some fascinating firsthand accounts.)

Jervis bay wasn't the only noteworthy tale to come of that convoy. The tanker San Demitrio was another remarkable ship. It actually didn't escape, it was one of the ships the Scheer caught before it could escape into the night. Somehow, despite being hit multiple times by the Admiral scheer and burning out of control it survived after the crew abandoned it. One life boat got separated in the night and ended up drifting back into the stricken ship 24 hours later. Half dead from exposure the survivors re-boarded the burning tanker, managed to put the fires out and sailed the ship home. WITH NO NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT, severe damage and only 1/3 of a crew.

Two great stories. I am a little bit disappointed you didn't mention the MV San Demetrio at least in passing. She was a member of the convoy, an oil tanker who was attacked and set ablaze by the Admiral Scheer. Like Scheer, San Demetrio's own crew thought she was done for and abandoned her. Two days later one of the lifeboats came across the still afloat San Demetrio, the lifeboat crew reboarded her, put out the still smoldering fires, restarted the engines, and somehow managed to sail the badly battered ship to the British Isles. Drachinifel did a great video on the story. Kudos for mentioning the Mopan. Her role in delaying the Admiral Scheer, thus blunting the effectiveness of Scheer's attack is often overlooked when the story of HX-84 is told, and I think does Mopan and her captain a disservice. Great video!

Then there’s Ohio a tanker carrying gasoline for the air defence of Malta. She was holed and sinking but was brought in with a Flower Class corvette lashed to each side. She sank in Grand Harbour, but her cargo was pumped out. If Hollywood made a truthful film, her amazing story would never be believed.

I’m not sure you’ll see this, but I love this video Mike. You did an excellent job on this with the Jervis Bay and Rawalpindi, two stories that make me tear up every time from their bravery knowing how badly they were outclassed but sacrificing themselves to protect their fellow mariners. I know you’re not a military guy for the most part, but I have one for you from the Royal Navy. The British destroyer HMS Glowworm ran afoul of the German heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper, a ship that vastly outclassed her, while trying to rejoin a British fleet in 1940. Her commander charged the ship towards Hipper in a duel that Glowworm couldn’t hope to win, launching torpedoes and throwing shells at the German ship. Badly damaged, her captain turned Glowworm and, with what strength the ship had left, it rammed the Admiral Hipper before going down. Her commander, Gerard Broadmead Roope, sadly did not make it despite abandoning ship with his men, and was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously after Admiral Hipper’s captain wrote a note to the British Admiralty through the Red Cross recommending him for the highest honor possible. It’s a story that I’d love to hear you tell, but I understand if it’s not. Once again, great video and I hope you’re having a wonderful day. 👍

Those early naval fire control computers were marvels of mechanical, not electronic, engineering. They could compute fairly complex mathematical functions involving equations featuring differential or integral calculus. Really a wonder to behold - even now. They were housed deep in the most protected 'citidal' areas of the naval ships and connected to multiple sensors - range finders, ships speed and roll indicators, wind speed detectors, the compass bearing, and barometer and outside temperature sensors to name a few. The results of their calculations were relayed to the gun turrets by indicators which the gun crews used to train the guns onto the selected target(s). Naval gunfire could be ridiculously accurate over ranges of up to 20 miles (32 km) or so depending on the gun size.

There's not much I can add except Ludovic Kennedy, the son of Captain Kennedy of Rawalpindi, served in the RN himself on (I believe) HMS Tartar.

In the early 1960s I worked for Shaw Savill & Albion who technically owned Jervis Bay. The picture of the painting at the beginning of your article is similar to the one that used to hang in the corridor of their London office. I used to look at it every time I went past it. It was a very atmospheric painting and showed the Admiral Scheer on the horizon. Captain Fogarty Fegen must have been an exceedingly brave person by taking himself and his crew to a certain death with a merchantman versus a pocket battleship. I don't know where the painting is now as Shaw Savill don't exist anymore.

Hi Mike, I do realise this suggestion goes somewhat outside of your channel title, so may not be of interest to you, but that's never stopped me before! It would, I think, be very illuminating to expand on the very different architectures between Ocean Liners and equivalent sized Naval Ships. The only Naval vessels that spring to my mind the size of the 'Queens' and similar would be the large modern US Carriers but comparisons with smaller vessels would at least be possible across a somewhat more historic timeframe.

Hi, very impressed that you have picked these vessels for your video. I am like you surprised to learn that even though the Jervis Bay is spelt that way, it was pronounced "Jarvis Bay" something I learned very well when working at Dept of Defense. There was also a passenger car ferry that was voyaging between Sydney and Tasmania. This was later requisitioned by The Australian Navy and called Jervis Bay. I know it is not in the class of the great Ocean Liners, but think it might be worth a side video if you see fit. I very much like you channel and an looking forward to many more entertaining and informational videos. Cheers Peter

Just re-watched the 1943 movie "San Demetrio London" available on Channel 4. Which starts with the sinking of the Jervis Bay and the abandonment of the tanker MV San Demetrio. Which was set alight at the same time as the Jervis bay was sunk. Some of crew re-boarded the tanker and eventually brought her home. I remember watching the film 40 odd years ago when I was a kid. It is still a really good film as I remembered it from all those years ago. The MV San Demetrio was subsequently sunk by a U Boat in 1942.

Bathurst Class, HMIS Bengal, & Ondina’s battle with the Hōkoku Maru, 11 Nov 42, is worth recalling. My girlfriend’s grandfather was aboard BENGAL, happy to share any stories and original documents. I have recently spoken with retired Indian Navy admiral of Indian Naval History Unit if useful contact also.

Brilliant docos Mike. Brave ships indeed. A technical point to note. A single naval gun is called a mount, two or more guns is a turret. 👌

Thinking of these ships really reminds me of the movie GREYHOUND, with Tom Hanks. It was such an amazing movie!

All these very high quality documentaries should be put on TV as they are so much more interesting well presented and very professionally edited. They must take ages to edit thank you for taking the time to upload these vids. Steve UK

Honestly watching this makes me tempted to write up something about a Canadian Great Lakes canaller that fought in WWI and WWII. Her name was the Ironwood. Quite a story too.

My grandfather was a Royal Navy Reserve member of the Rawalpindi crew sadly he didn’t survive the engagement.

RIP Anton, it's only fitting that a video about heroic acts of bravery be dedicated to him.

I'm not sure, but didn't the Royal Navy provide funds during construction of some civilian liners, in exchange for adding features to make it easier to convert to an AMC? Like reinforced deck areas for mounting guns? If so, would love to hear details on that.
