Hey, Gursh- I really liked this video. I’ve always been fascinated by sea battles and the ocean-going navies of our own planet and past. The habits and traditions are just so incredibly rich with amazing detail that I have never been bored, even as a little kid, learning about ships under sail, fighting with cannon and brilliant strategy. I know it’s not about a warship, just a whaling ship, but Moby Dick is my favorite book because it’s a whole new world to learn about, even though on board it only takes place over maybe 1-2000 square feet! Anyway- didn’t mean to go off on a tangent- just wanted to say thank you for an awesome video about The Imperial Navy and how different, yet also how similar, it can be with our own ocean-going Navy. I’m looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos about other aspects of the Imperial Navy. Have a great day!

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

At 2:46, it looks like Gursh became a tech-priest! (Never saw one with facial hair before!). Little piece of trivia- the term “bosun” was originally an abbreviation of the term “boatswain”, and can occasionally still be found written in that way, or with another abbreviation, “bos’n”. There’s even a specific piece of equipment linked to them, called a “bosun’s whistle”- everyone has probably even heard it without realizing it- it’s that sound that accompanies a high ranked officer (usually the captain) arriving on deck- I’m sure it’s easy to find on google or even KZbin if you were curious. I got one as a gift as a kid, and always loved it (if you couldn’t tell!). I hope everyone watching is staying safe and healthy- take care, all.

Warhammer 40K lore authors apparently did not know that "flag officer" = Admiral or General (O-7 through O-10). Lower ranking Officers are not referred to as such, to include Captains.

[@Colonel_Overkill]

Yea, pretty much all of the naval ranks seem to be a tad bit cattywompus. It seems to be a tradition for the witers to ascribe to the Michael Bay tactical school and not bothering to check to see if its even in the same postal code as plausibility. From rank structures to tactics some is good and some screams amateur from the highest peaks.....

Great video and content just one question I thought the navy used shot guns and projectile weapons becuse of the possible damage inflicted on the hull?

[@ghadabad]

I would imagine that they are trained to avoid the exposed or weaker areas. Also I think the caliber of weapons they are rocking are likely to be far below the required level to breach the hull or the very least they have restricted ammo types to prevent such an occurance.

In the prologue Admiral katalias cruiser lost 65000 hands after trying to measure dick sizer with the vengeful spirit and they were trying to pass on the idea that the shipwas 90%damaged and about to br gone so for example im going to suggest for cruisers like hers 70000 or 80000 hands

[@Fransens]

Lunar Class Cruiser according to Rogue Trader has a compliment of around 95.000 crew working and living on it's 5.1 or something kilometer long vessel. That is why I had a little nerdgasm moment when that cutscene played with the 65.000 dead on one ship. Seems like some reasonable losses for a almost crippled ship. I say almost because it could still do that ramming maneuver, but by then it was essentially a metropolis-sized coffin with engines really. Shipboard fires, hull breaches, malfunctioning plasma circuits, ordnace explosions etc tend to eat crew quickly and you can get all of that by one broadside from a vessel like Failbaddon's.

[@eliasravanetti9931]

Gregory Carrington why are they depicted as ship captains then? I don’t think you know what you’re talking about

[@Fransens]

Adeptus Astartes are completely seperated from the Imperial Navy. They do NOT fall under the authority of Sector- or even Segmentum Command. They are pretty much free to do as their chapter wants, but tend to lend a hand or interfere where needed. Of course that is also depending on the chapter in question. Salamanders will help differently than let's say Black Templars. Oh and after the Horus Heresy Astartes technically are not allowed to have fleets themselves. Their vessels are basically armed transports and there to aid invasions and deployment of Space Marine forces. Because, you know, they got to get to the battle somehow. That's why their ships are so different and also why the designations are different. No Cruisers or Battleships. Strike-Cruisers and Battle-Barges are very different things, even though the size and armament could be argued is somewhat comparable. Even Astartes Strike Cruisers have mostly human voidsmen assigned to them. Space Marines don't even really do the whole captain-thing, by that I mean SHIP-Captain. They have basically navy crews that are usually permanently assigned to the chapter, so for life as that is how permanent assignment goes for most people in the Imperium. While the ranking Astartes of a ship can usually tell the captain to do XY they leave the bulk of the command to the human officers, only telling them what they want out of a situation and let the ship-captain deal with the details. For instance the Space Marines want to boad an enemy vessel, so the ranking Astartes tells the captain of the ship he wants to go with two squads over. The captain gives the orders to close distance, maneuver into position, launch the assault craft, etc. So while the ship's captain still has mostly total authority over the vessel and it's crew the Astartes call the big-boi shots. Of course since Space Marines are basically worshipped as angels you will have to look very hard, like an Inquisitor in fact, to find anybody that scoffs at the situation. Most that serve on a vessel of the Adeptus Astartes are honored beyond words to be of use to the Emperor's Angels of Death in whatever small or not so small way they can. And yes an Astartes can basically hitch a ride on any imperial navy ship. Absurdly rare and absurdly stupid is the captain that would refuse them.

[@HorusLupercal90]

We would all like to hope we would be a badass space marine or a powerful Planetary Gov, but If I was to live a normal human life in the 40k universe. And it mirrored what I have had the opportunity to do with my life in this reality. I would most likely have ended up as a skilled technician on some mining planet to start with. I work in oil and gas. I have electrical technical skills and have now spent many years involved in drilling and operations of gas wells and moved into management roles recently. I just emigrated to a different country 3 years ago...so rather than staying on a planet I am sure, given the opportunity to travel the galaxy if a Navy ship arrived on my world, Id have chosen that life. And probably at this stage in my life id be seen for my skills and experience in my particular role and my leadership skills and be moved into a Crew boss position. Far from the exciting life of a space marine haha. But better than being a slave.....
