Thanks for watching everyone! I hope you found the video interesting! It is a redo of an older video, it was such an interesting topic to not make it again and hopefully a bit better. I also tested out a new feature with the premiere, I added a trailer. Let me know what you think!

If the nitrocelluloses, used in the manufacture of cordite, has been completely purefied for all remains of acid, spontaneous ingition can not take place. But if the nitrocellusis has been been manufactured in sloppy way, so that it still contain traces of acid, then spontaneus ignition is a real possibility.

One of four, or possibly five, Dreadnought battleships that spontaneously exploded. The main thing they had in common was that they all used British style powder. Something which may or may not have contributed to the loss of the three Battlecruisers at Jutland and Hood at the battle of the Denmark Strait and may have caused Novorossiysk to explode in 1955.

Pretty sure the novo sunk due to an old German mine no?

13:17 One thing to note here: A first officer of Breslau at that time was no other than Karl Dönitz.

Thank you for clearing up what that crane on the bow was for. I've seen pictures for years, but never had a explanation.

Excellent as always. It's so easy to cobble together a 7-minute video and wait for hits. Please never do that, the format you have which goes deeply into each ship is so refreshing on YT. It's how it used to be years ago. If you should ever have adverts, DON'T put them in the middle of your video. Just one last thing. Do you ever take a breath?

Excellent account. According to David Woodward's 1955 book, The Russians at Sea, an old veteran of the previous Imperetzia Maria of the Crimean war period petitioned for a position on the ship. He was in his hundredth year, amd and was granted the position of watchman. Another thing Woodward states was brisge turret radio communication on Russian Black Sea predreadnoughts.

A. V. Kolchack, a mines expert, thought it was spontaneous combustion of old cartridges.

The Russian nave has a bad history. Bad issues have plagued them even today. It takes some courage to be in their navy. I respect the crews but have none for their leadership.

Very well thought out and done! I love the history of navies and naval combat, but I will admit I know very little about the Imperial Russian Navy, good job!

The Imperial Russian Navy is a very interesting topic! I think I will delve more into it at some point. The problem is finding sources (in English) and that I can trust.
