In 1988 I was ships company on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. We had a "tiger cruise" where you could have two of your relatives, male only, join the ship at Ft. Lauderdale and sail for a 3 day cruise up the coast to Norfolk. I had my dad and grandfather, the latter was a Chief Corpsman in a PT squadron and aboard a destroyer during WW2. He lied about his age and joined when he was 16. He had made chief in 3 years, the youngest chief in the USN at that time. But having him aboard a modern ship with his unique vantage point that once everyone found out about his history, he was like a rock star. My own chiefs, division officer and shipmates all peppered him with constant questions. He would point out things that were the same and what was new. His "rack" was a net hammock that rolled up to make room for patients. But he was asking me if we still had liver and onions on Thursdays and "shit on a shingle" (chipped beef with gravy over toast) for breakfast. lol But that 3 day trip was one of the highlights of my 4 year hitch. And to share it with your own father and grandfather just hammered it into my memory. So good.

Retired Navy Chief, son of a Chief. I still have my father's 1944 Bluejacket's Manual. I learned Navy ranks from it (watching Hennesey on TV and so much thereafter -- within a few minutes of Star Trek:TNG, I had their insignia of rank down pat). I learned 24-hour time and have used it for more than half a century. Honor, Courage, Commitment.

The old battle wagons...almost completely overwhelmed by the Carrier. Black shoe navy eclipsed by the Brown shoe navy. Still looking for the old stand off battles and blockades of traditional, outmoded forms of naval warfare made obsolete by advanced aircraft and the aircraft carrier. This movie was obsolete the day it was made. Still loved it.

It give light coverage to the varying types of yard, patrol and auxiliary ship types, and doesn't cover the evolving amphibious types (it is only 1942).

It is really interesting to try to pick out the exact year in which each identified or identifiable ship is shown. All of those showing the ships in Haze Grey are pre-1940/41, when the USN began to put its Fleet into Camouflage Measures, from Ms. 1 to Ms. 12. But at about 3:00, they begin to show ships in Ms. 11 or 21, which would be from 1941 to 1942. I cannot see any 5” DP Mounts typical of the USN destroyers in these ships, so they are probably yard-tugs, or yard-supply ships, given their small size. At 3:22 we get one of the two USS Pensacola-class Treaty Cruisers in Measure 1 (Dark Grey, Sea Blue or Sapphire Blue hull, Ocean Greg superstructure to the fighting-top, and then white on the mast-tops). And at 7:25, we see one of the Brooklyn-class Light Cruisers (my favorite US Navy class of ship, possibly tied with the New Orleans-Class Heavy Cruisers. Both classes represent the penultimate Naval Surface Fighting Ship, and were those that were most called-upon in the Early-War to “carry the fight to the Enemy”) in Measure 11 or Measure 21. You can see Wartime Censors have painted the film-cells to obscure her hull-number, which also obscures her anchor. And at 16:55 they show one of my Favorite Battleships: USS Washington, in May/June of 1941, just after commissioning, but prior to the installation of her Gun Directors (the two Mk. 38 Directors/Gun Fire Control Systems for the 16”/45 Main Battery, which would be atop the forward and Rear Director Towers, and the four Mk. 37 Directors/Gun Fire Control Systems, fore/aft of the respective fore/after Main-Battery Director Towers, and Port/Starboard between the stacks to control the respective 5”/38 DP Twin-Mounts for the Secondary Battery), Radar (Mk. 3/FC Fire-Control Radar atop the Mk. 38 Directors, controlling/directing the Main Battery, and the Mk. 4/FD Fire Direction Radar atop the Mk. 37 Directors for the 5”/38 and Secondary Btty/AA Guns, as well as the SG and SK Search-Radar Sets. She was the first and last Modern Battleship to Sink a Modern Enemy Battleship in a Surface Battle, although USS South Dakota contributed to that effort, with Admiral Lee defeating the Japanese Battleship HIJMS Kirishima on the night/morning of Nov. 14 - 15, 1942. While WWII would see another Battleship v Battleship encounter and surface action in Oct of 1944, with the Battle of Surigao Straight, this Surface Action between Battleships was of older Dreadnaughts: WWI era Battleships that had not seen the same degree of Modernization as had the four IJN Kongō-class Fast Battleships (who, had the Japanese have time for, would have been even more modernized, with changes to the bow to lengthen it, and give the hulk a more “Bottlenose” shape, elimination of the Casemate 6” Secondary Batteries in favor of DP 5” or 4.1” mounts, such as those on the Akizuki-class Destroyers, or the Agano-class and Ōyodo-class Light Cruisers. These changes would have made them especially formidable with the massive upgrade in AA Battery).

Not sure of a lot of details, he passed when I was 17, but did get some clues. He was North Atlantic battling Stukas and ice early in the war. Ended the war building the Navy base on Guam.

Anything w/ a cagemast was sunk or wrecked at the time of this film's release, and were real good at shipping water when they were healthy, especially those top-heavy Porter DDs playing submarine. The slight stagger of the Brooklyn class stacks gives them a more streamlined non-toyboat look than I was used to seeing in fixed photos. There is nothing subtle about Lex and Sara; they are (beautiful) monsters, decks loaded or not. Thus they were magnet-assed for Japanese steel. This navy was my favorite, w/ beauty unmatched until Leahy DLGs came out in the early '60s, although Fletchers were forcefully handsome, but a new generation.

one notices in this 1942 film that the aircraft carrier is given short shrift as a capital ship. treated more as an auxiliary to the battlewagons and cruisers of the time. The film was probably filmed and produced in 1940 or 41 when naval doctrine still considered naval gunnery and the battleship to be the ultimate deciding factor in naval combat. All this changed on December 7, 1941 and after Midway. It was a brand new Navy, but the film was already made!

While this video obviously shows on the Title Screen that it is from1942, most all of the ships shown are from the 1910's - 1930's. All the destroyers shown are are Mahan Class constructed in the 1930's, the submarines are from the 1910's, the Cruisers are mostly Northampton Class, constructed in the 1920's.

If you listen to Dan Carlin’s Supernova in the East you’ll learn that the US was very much aware and preparing for a battle for the pacific with Japan since before World War One. With naval and air supremacy both heavily in mind. And don’t make the mistake of thinking our air supremacy to win the naval battle of the pacific was an accident. Although we’ll likely never fight in the ways of old standards. We are still very much currently in an arms race with China over the lesson that the pacific theatre taught. Air craft carriers with effective fighters are the only way.

Vietnam era for me but I think it was the same in WW2 where if you enlisted you got a chance to choose the "rate" (occupation) you wanted to "strike" (train) for. These are Navy terms in quotation marks, the other branches of service used different names. If you're drafted you usually don't have that much of a choice of occupation unless your civilian profession was in the medical field or engineering or something the military deems urgently needed. I think the Navy drafted during WW2 but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me here.

Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous KZbin users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do. Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films!

All of this footage is mid to late 1940 very early 42 in a couple of scenes it looks like in the first part.

Chris much respect. Just watch out for 8x16” HE sent with a Precise Aim radar precision. Destroyers tend to find it a game-shortener. Lol. Good luck!

Anyone else feel sorry for the submariners when they were loading the Mark 14s? With how defective they were they'd have been better off loading BuOrd officers.

It's a scandal that it took so long to finally fix those torpedos. Commanders who said the damn things didn't detonate were accused of missing targets etc despite clear evidence of something being seriously wrong.

That ain't all that's screwed up brother !!!!! The new commandant of the marine corps wants to take away the marines tanks and artillery and give them ship killing missiles !!!!????? Yeah , right ! He wants to make the marines a " littoral " what ever the hell that is combat force and take away a platoon from the traditional companystrenghth fighting element . he says its to fight "an island hopping campaign . what does he think this is world war two ? Even in that war we threw heavy artillery at 'em at khe.sah n in Vietnam artillery fired beehive rounds into attacking waved of north Vietnamese at point blank range to save the ass of many a jarhead. This is totally screwed.
