It was a tactical IJN victory, although the Japanese Army’s failure to retake Henderson Field did prevent it from being a strategic Japanese naval victory as well.

@@williampaz2092indeed. 'The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one other such victory would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward. On the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the Roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war.' - Plutarch, Life of Pyrrhus Hence, a victory best avoided at nearly any cost, as one really gained nothing from it, save losses one could not afford.

Why Germany don't built aircraft carrier in the second World War

[@timgosling6189]

The title hints this will be a poor one, even by 'Dark' standards. Victorious wasn't particularly large for a fleet carrier, let alone 'colossal'. She was about 10% smaller than, say, the contemporary USS Enterprise CV-6. To illustrate the attack on Bismarck was there no footage of a Swordfish dropping a torpedo? While operating as 'USS Robin', although she was repainted in USN colours and her aircraft carried US markings, Victorious still sailed under the White Ensign. Victorious was not designed in light of experience from previous conflicts. There had been none since WWI, and naval aviation had since changed out of all recognition. When talking about Illustrious class carriers it would be nice to show one, or at least one from the right decade. 2:06 is the 1920s cruiser conversion HMS Glorious. I think you mean the Illustrious class emphasised armor over 'aggressive stances', although all warships are pretty aggressive. Is lacking armor more aggressive? Were battleships 'passive' because they chose not to be sunk by the first hostile shot? Weird. Octuple guns have 8 barrels, not 4. By 'the British air service' I assume you mean the Fleet Air Arm. The armored flight deck did not reduce aircraft capacity. That was down to the fully enclosed hangar spaces and centrally mounted elevators. The flight deck was not 'covered in bulkheads and sides'. Please rehearse and think about script before going final. Why on earth do you say when she was hunting the Bismarck she was 'lacking the necessary aircraft for maritime operations'? She was carrying only aircraft designed for maritime operations, and they did pretty well. Why show US aircraft supporting the Bismarck raid? Bismarck was not sunk by aircraft from Ark Royal, althought they did hit her rudder allowing her to be caught by the ships that did sink her. Victorious was not leased to America. She was detached on loan with a British crew. Royal Navy ships do not usually fly the Union Jack, they fly the White Ensign, as you show. Victorious did not have to go into dry dock at Norfolk for her theatre entry equipment to be fitted; that would have been a gross waste of resources. Is that USS Forrestal at 9:33? Certainly 1960s. Victorious was never officially named USS Robin, that was just her radio callsign and it became an informal nickname. In the UK it's just '8-3-2 Sqn'. 'The 8-thirty-second sqn' is a pure americanism. Greenock is pronounced 'Gren-ock'. The attack on Tirpitz on 2 Apr 44 resulted in some flooding from near misses that put her out of service for a few months. But none of the 14 hits penetrated her armour. No Lancasters were involved on that occasion. Nowhere in this video is there any explanation of how HMS Victorious was going to act as an alternative to the atom bomb in ending WWII.

Oh, give me a Break. The Bismarck was not sunk by Aircraft. It was disabled, slowed down, and the rudder was jammed. But it was a British Battle ship, not sure Prince of Wales maybe and some Cruisers that finished off the Bismarck. You should know that, your a smart guy. Do you need some one to look over your scripts first, to correct mistakes? I'd be happy to do it.
