Hi, "Military History Visualized", I am Academy-trained Naval Officer having spent 28 years in the US Navy and survived three wars including completing 118 combat mission. Even after graduation from the US Naval War College, I have learned so much from your lectures; I am eternally grateful for the accuracy, documentation, and unbiased opinions you have provided YT viewers interested in the history of warfare and honestly learning about the truth about the human tragedy of World War II. I appreciate your extensive documentation, references and your background education which shows in your lectures. I lost two uncles in World War II on the European theater front while I lost another one against the Imperial Japanese Navy. To me, despite being military-trained, this was such a loss of lives for humanity - thank you for your respectful and deferential narrative about such a painful subject (for some of us Veterans). I hope that our younger generations realize, treat, and hopefully learned for previous armed conflict with respect and appreciation for all the sacrifices that were made by all the parties involved, regardless of one's political beliefs, denomination, genders, etc. My Peace be with you, Ciao, L, Captain US Navy Retired, Veteran (Kapitän zur See)

I am a Vietnam era veteran. I am also the son of a US Navy WW2 veteran that served the entire war on an Escort carrier. In fact it was the first one in the US Navy. CVE-1 USS Long Island. I have studied WW2 naval history for the obvious reasons. I am very supportive of the theory that the escort carrier served a very important role in the war and may have supplemented the US Navy's dominance by early 1944. Also the escort carriers of both the US and Britain were crucial to the defeat of the U-boats in the Atlantic. Just my opinion.

10:30 Spain had a naval plan from 1927 (expanded after the treaty of London in 1930) to have cruisers operating in pairs: one heavy cruiser with 8x203mm guns and one light cruiser with 8x152mm and 4x101mm guns (+ torpedo tubes), complementing each other, with the heavy one (Canarias-class) having more powerful guns, and the light cruiser having quicker rate of fire (and more guns). This was put to test during the battle of Cape Palos in the Spanish Civil War (1938), in which the "light" cruiser Libertad was able to go toe to toe with the "heavy" cruiser Canarias during an artillery exchange (with both ships being lightly damaged). I say "light" and "heavy" because both cruisers had almost the same tonnage (9240 tons for the Libertad and 9900 tons for the Canarias). On the same battle, the "sister" ship of the Canarias, the cruiser Baleares was sunk by torpedoes from the republican destroyers.

Clevelands did not have dual purpose main batteries, most pre-war and WWII cruisers did not have DP main batteries. The post war Worcester class was the first (and only) USN 6" Mk16 DP armed cruiser, and even that used a special dual gun turret because of accuracy issues with the triple turrets on the non DP Mk 16s. During the war , the main exceptions were the Royal Navies Dido class and the US Navy Atlanta class, maybe some other class from other navies that I dont know.
@MilitaryHistoryVisualized5 жыл бұрын
listening to the whole video clearly helps: "One key aspect of some - yet not all - light cruiser was the use of dual-purpose guns as their main armament that allowed them to engage both surface targets and aircraft with their main batteries. Yet, although nearly all Navies tried this, few of them were successful until late and post-war."
@ChaplainDMK5 жыл бұрын
@@MilitaryHistoryVisualized I understand, I did watch the whole video, but what I'm trying to say is that it is confusing - you state that "a key aspect" is that "only some" cruisers had dual purpose batteries, of which "few were successful until late and post-war", which is not really logical in my opinion - a key feature that only some cruisers had and barely any were good at. At the same time you are giving an example of a ship, who did in no way have a dual purpose main battery, neither in theory nor in practice. Neither did any of the 39 ships built in the Brooklyn/St. Louis/Cleveland/Fargo lineage that you use as an example of Light Cruisers, or any of the comparable classes from other countries (e.g. the Town Class, Emile Bertin/La Galissonnière class, Condottieri class). Basically I feel that stating that a key aspect of light cruisers during the Second World War is having dual purpose batteries is not really correct. And this is really just constructive criticism, I trust your research, but I just feel that you might have formulated that point a bit confusingly.

Battleships were also used as a "fleet in being". Pretty much a deterrent to certain areas for fear of losing ships. More psychological then anything else. Bismarck's sister ship Tirpitz is famous for this. It did next to nothing in it's intended role and aside from a few commerce raids it sat in a fjord in Norway for most of the war. But just knowing it was in the area was enough for the British to divert supplies and troops to attempt to sink it even though Germany had no plans to move or use it in its intended war knowing it would just be sunk

Another book that is a nice reference to all the ships of WWII is Richard Worth's "Fleets of WWII". It does not go in depth on every ship, but it presents EVERY ship and class in a few cogent points. It details changes and also fates of some of the individual ships. It has very few photos, but one of it's better points is its prose. It is a delight to read at times, and since it is not the kind of book you read cover-to-cover, but rather use as quick reference, there are some gems in there. If you like to play grand strategy games like Hearts of Iron, it can really help give you a grasp of what every country actually developed and built before and during WWII, so you can make the right building plan for your navy, whether you want to half-ass your navy, build a historical one, or try to buff it a bit compared to the historical one.

But not large enough for to be a Battle cruiser these were the German Graf Spee pocket battle ships and the American Alaska class . Also the Flower Class corvettes were the smallest of the destroyer escort class but could still fit in that category as they to large and slow for a patrol boat class which is are coastal defense vessels and are not classified as warship class.

Great video :) HMS Hood isn't a very good example of a Battlecruiser because it was much more heavily armored and more heavily armed than most Battlecruiser. HMS Renown would have been a better example as it had 3 inches less belt armer and 2 less main guns that battle ships built at the same time :)

It might be pointed out that the British had a different definition of what a battle-cruiser was, it was based on speed. For Jutland type battleruisers this was obtained by sacrificing armor. That doesn't mean they were battlecruisers because they were lightly armored. They were BC's because they were fast. Hood was a different breed and its design was changed drastically after Jutland. She sacrificed displacement instead of armor. She had the same protection and guns as the Queen Elizabeth class but was MUCH longer and weighed a lot more. The British had no concept of a fast battleship so kept the nomenclature of battlecruiser for her. She is almost in the same boat (see what i did there) as the Scharnhorst class where they were improperly called battlecruisers though they had superb armor.

There was a book written named, "Dreadnought". I don't remember the author at this time. According to the book Battlecruisers were invented by the British before World War 1 because, according to their naval planners, commerce raiding heavy cruisers were the main thread to British supply lines. The Battlecruisers were faster and better armed than heavy cruisers (12" guns vs 8" guns). The speed of the battlecruiser would allow the interception of heavy cruisers and the ability to stay out of range of the shorter range of the heavy cruiser main armament. At the same time the 12" guns, which out ranged the heavy cruisers, could pound them to pieces. Once the first world war began the battlecruiser fought in three different roles: 1. Against commerce raiding heavy cruisers - example - Battle of the Falklands. The British battlecruisers sunk and entire squadron of German cruisers with little or no loss. This was the mission they were designed for. 2. Raids, such as against the flemish coast - their speed could get them out of trouble from land based artillery and they could and did some decent damage. 3. Main battle line - In the battle of Jutland they ended up engaging the German high seas fleet. Unlike the battleships the battlecruisers ended up blowing up spectacularly and sinking with almost all hands. This was NOT the mission they were designed for. I heard about the British designation for Battlecruiser which had more to do with speed, hence the heavier armor of Hood, etc. My examples came from that book, which ended its history with the beginning of the first world war. I suspect that, if the book was correct about designs before the war, the definitions will have evolved during and after the war. The book is interesting reading but, out of around 15 or so chapters there were only 2 which dealt with "nuts and bolts" and the rest of the book was politics and personalities.

The US did in fact make a class of DEs capable of some level of fleet engagement. They were armed with two 5 inch destroyer guns, and a triple torpedo launcher for anti surface engagements. The only instance where they served in this role with any degree of importance was the battle of Samar. 6 Jeep carriers and their screen of 3 destroyers and 4 DEs were attacked by a Japanese surface fleet of 4 battleships (including Yamato), 2 light cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 4-5 heavy cruisers. The DEs served admirably, with one providing smoke for the carriers throughout the whole battle, two launching torpedoes and engaging with guns before returning to the carriers to provide smoke, and one, the USS Samuel B. Roberts charging the enemy battle line with the friendly destroyers and engaging the Japanese heavy squadrons with guns and torpedoes. The Roberts scored one confirmed torpedo hit on a heavy cruiser, and shredded the superstructure of another apart with her guns. She was not hit once until the Japanese battleship Haruna came to help the Japanese cruisers losing a fight with a goddamn DE. The Haruna’s first salvo of 14 inchers hit the Roberts, but did not sink her. She continued to fire until her forward turret was knocked out and her aft turret blew up because it got so hot in there that the ammo blew up in the breach. There were only 2 shells left to fire when this happened. Captain Copland and his XO, Bob Roberts (the brother of the ship’s namesake) decided to abandon ship, as she had 0 operational weapons of any kind left to fire at the enemy and had her propulsion knocked out. In total, the US lost 1 DE, 2 destroyers, and one Jeep carrier in the battle, and despite being outgunned, slower, smaller, and unprepared, the Americans took the day and won the most improbable victory of the pacific war.
@trinalgalaxy59435 жыл бұрын
they were still not meant to fend off a serious force, and in that battle, they practically threw their lives away to save the carriers after the main US force moved to attack where the main japanese fleet was believed to be. the fact that Taffy 3 was suddenly in danger forced the DEs and DDs left to protect from minor threats and air attack to give the CVEs time to run like hell, a nearly impossible task for both groups (DD/DE and CVE) to do, but managed due to the relentlessness of the american planes (continuing to attack even AFTER running out of ammo meant for ground support not ship attack), poor decisions from the Japanese admiral, and the ferocity of the ships convincing the japanese that they were facing a much larger and more powerful force. by all rights, once the destroyers were sunk or disabled, the carriers should have been annihilated. just one more missed chance by the japanese to do something meaningful squandered. also, 2 cves were lost, one as a sacrifice to buy time, one to a kamikaze

AFAIK, not a single Casablanca class carrier was used as escort carrier. That were the previous designs, which were very important for convoy duty. The Casablancas turned out so well that the navy used them, and the old slow Battleships, to provide cover and support for the amphibious invasion fleets. This freed up the bigger fast carriers.
