It's all covered under ABWS. As for underwater combat, it's a thing. It's also basically non-existent.

Fun fact: the filming of the airborne drop sequence of "A Bridge Too Far" was actually conducted by the UK 1st Airborne Division. So, the reason it looked so authentic is because it was done using actual Airborne troops, wearing authentic WW2 style chutes, wearing WW2 style uniforms and gear (including helmets and boots) from actual C46 aircraft. The scenes filmed from the point of view of the Airborne soldier was actually a former Paratrooper who jumped with the camera strapped to him. I seem to remember reading that they had a couple of authentic injuries on the jump, too, broken bones and such.

*Battalion but yeah so true also alot of it was filmed on location and the majority of the xtras making the jump did that very same jump for real there's even accounts of some of them not long returning home from captivity.

You didn’t have to hit an enemy vessel with a 16 inch shell. Landing next to the vessel will cause a near hit. What that does is to buckle the hull plates by the power of the water concussions against the hull. In the movie it looks like a WWII vintage submarine. The damage against the hull and collateral damage against the machinery could cause it not to be able to dive, inoperable or even sink from the damage.

[@kmodo93]

Only problem with your statement is that's a DD which would have only carried 5-in guns, not 16-inch ones. As for the shot underwater, that was with the 40mm AA guns which is a bit more interesting in what kind of damage would have been caused honestly.

What I find funny about Battleship is that they, for all intents and purposes, take a decommissioned Museum Ship and fuel/arm it in one afternoon just to run it at 30+ knots AND would just snap the anchor chains if/when it gets caught at something and that ~40-45 tons (assuming it's no-where near full-load) of displacement keeps on going...

[@Makapaa]

@@grimalkin6676 I believe even then there was (still is?) huge difference between decommed Museum Ships and various levels of "Mothball fleet". I'd imagine recently mothballed Iowas being on the most Battle-Ready side but even then they'd not have Munition etc on board. Bringing cold Iowa to operation-ready status would take lots of time, even at best conditions. And you are right about rotation duty of Iowas, this indeed was and kinda still is the doctrine of USN CVs and other strike assets, tho I'd have to counter-ask: "Hawaii was isolated by the forcefield. Assuming "R&R Iowa" was inside the Dome and had remained unnoticed by the Alien ship (plot armor), why not use it instead? Why bother with the Museum?" Out-of-Rotation Iowa wouldn't really have been at Pearl and active duty would prolly had been sunk by the Alien by now and thus would recognize Museum-Iowa as a (possible) Threat.

[@grimalkin6676]

@@Makapaa Well yeah of course, it would still take abit but they were meant to be maintained in good condition as per the order of the national defense act if needed for emergency and amphibious operations. Given it stated emergency I usually think could be returned to service in mabey a week? Still far from the movie but much more viable than what actually happens in the movie. And I don't know if both did but I do know one of the two that were being maintained did have some (Not a full load) of munitions for its guns on-board for a short period of time though by the time the act ended it no longer had munitions on it. Though overall I enjoyed the movie. And somewhat disappointed battleships won't ride out again. Though much more disappointed that the enterprise from ww2 wasn't made a museum ship with them. That is just an insult.

A helicopter could temporarily yaw 90 degrees but it couldn’t maintain flight that way. It would lose altitude quickly.

23:30 The OTHER main fallacy in Battleship, when they dropped the anchor, is that it could actually catch onto anything. Battleships only had 400 meters of anchor chain per side, and it MIGHT work IF they were less than 4km from the entrance to Pearl Harbor, but any farther out and it wouldn't even reach bottom. The water just off the coast of Honolulu in HAWAII increases in depth steadily until you get 20km from Honolulu, where it's ~600m, then in the next 5km it increases to 900m and in the 5km after that the bottom falls out and the depth increases to 2000 meters (6500ft) deep. 30km is only 18 miles, JUST over the horizon from Honolulu ... go another 20km and that depth more than DOUBLES to 4400m (~14400 ft)

[@peterkwolek2265]

I'm at about 25:30 in video, first off as a combat vet who served in OEF, huge thank you for your service! (When we had to go out and threat was high, having air support "on-station" made me feel much safer, and when A10s or SWT went to work, the enemy was always effectively stopped from firing down on us using the mountains.) With all the threat from RPGs, I'm wondering if a "mini-CIWS" could possibly work on a helicopter to hit projectile before it was too close?

[@KamiKaZantA]

Just a wild guess that it would be hard to make it work. A CIWS is on a big, stable platform (a ship), preferably with a lot of clear area around it so it can engage targets easily, plus a lot of ammunition. I can only see a "mini-CIWS" mounted on the underside on a helicopter, which would make landing a little more difficult. The platform itself isn't that stable, due to much lower mass and being in the air, which would rock and push the helicopter around when firing (possibly). It sounds unfeasible and impractical, but not saying it is impossible.

man this is the coolest video I've ever seen on this channel yet! Really wanna see more of this type

[@alexaales7937]

as a girl I am not heavily interested in war movies however I love history so I could listen to these guys - and gal - for hours, thank you for all the awesome info! all the movies getting a low grade - why not hire those guys for expertise, they can't be that expensive :-).

Can absolutely confirm Doc's tales. Was in Ramadi for 15 months. They'll hit the chow hall, make calls over Big Voice, even come and wake you up because they had a list of where everyone was and their blood type. No idea if me and this guy were there together, but I can tell you that you start to resent the doc because he doesn't have to stand in line for hours.

[@Stopthisrightnow560]

Thank you for everything. ❤

[@einfisch3891]

I love making a list of all the times the editors try to show an image of what the person was talking about to give context and got it completely wrong. Happens almost once a movie clip, its impressive.

[@hahafunny4538]

Vernice Armour is a damn cool name to have esp as someone in the military

[@tombakabones274]

1:00 now you know that Hollywood always has to do the seal reveal in modern war movies. 23:31 the tactic is called club hauling. supposedly it was used back in the days of sail. now whether or not it was a real tactic, I honestly don't know but that's what it's called.

[@docwigglegiggle5624]

I’d beg to differ on the landing a helicopter under fire. I am a ground medic and have footage from our FOB Aerostat of a medevac landing on our position in a fire fight. Those pilots are crazy and I love them for it

[@princessakhana]

I really hope that Mr. Rhee will actually see or has actually seen the whole of Hacksaw Ridge. It's a damn good movie and not so much about the treatment techniques as it is about the medic himself.

Did anyone else notice Vincent J. Speranza in one of the parachute photos. Now there is a story in its own right. God bless him

[@anthonywilson4873]

Those guns where not 50 call on the destroyer, we are talking 20mm and 40mm probably Bofors cannon shells. Hitting on the waterline will correct round into sub. The Brits had an artillery piece mounted in the Mosquito. A Mollins auto cannon 57mm one round hitting a sub would penetrate and bounce around inside the sub destroying everything it touched. One round has in WWII sunk a Sub. It was called the Mosquito Tsetse . Many forces used the Swedish built Bofors cannons. Main armament in the turrets would probably be typically 5 Inch. Main armament would smash a sub to pieces.

its kinda fun to watch stoned ngl

[@moffjerjerrod1579]

Seeing as how the guy is an old school Naval guy and he gets to see a battleship in a modern movie, even a ridiculous one, has to be pretty cool for him. Looking him up he served in the submarine fleet but who doesn't love to see a battleship blasting aliens?

[@bkane573]

As a movie that is accurate to the source material (a board game), Battleshio is one of the most accurate movies of all time. Ever notice the alien weapons look like pegs in the game.

[@razter6678]

I said this on the original video for this. Battleship is terrible. But it's so terrible, it's fun to watch. It's a guilty pleasure and I myself have watched in numerous times.

[@Stopthisrightnow560]

Gotta be brutally honest here. I hate military movies. Hate action movies. Especially hate Naval military action movies. But I'll be damned if I didn't get outta my seat and fist pump when they pulled that Battleship out. 😂😂

[@chilledburrito]

One thing to note at in regards to the helicopters at 26:42 is they specifically don't have nose mounted guns or cannons.

[@nerored6235]

I'd love to see several of them doing scenes from MASH, especially the surgeon. Both the movie and the series. Sure there was a lot of comedy BS but there were also a lot of drama scenes.

[@darksylveon6244]

I'm definitely learning a lot from these videos it's nice to get an explanation on rebreathers and what it's party like being in special forces diving underwater.

[@2stepsaway820]

On the subject of pressure waves from the firing of battleship guns, the guns on the Yamato and Musashi created such a shockwave when they fired that they could tear the skin off your face.

26:34 I thought that black hawk did get hit in the tail rotor in real life and pretty sure the crash and how it's positioned in the movie is almost identical to how it was on the ground in real life.

[@nakathehyena9539]

it did get hit in the tail rotor, after action pictures confirm it. Its one of the most realistic crashes in movies

[@nakathehyena9539]

@UCY06h9R72gYY5xRGFpEqPIQ pilots would fire the rockets, the gunner controlled the ir laser for hellfires, the hellfires themselves, and the 30mm

[@aarondrake3339]

Both crashes in Black Hawk Down were accurately portrayed. Super 61 was hit in the tail rotor and immediately went down. The aircraft's nose hit a building and caused the helicopter to roll on it's side. Super 64 was called in to take 61's place above the battle and was struck in the tail before Durant had flown a single orbit of the area. The helicopter initially held together so they attempted to fly back to base but the tail rotor eventually failed causing them to crash into a bunch of tin huts. Durant and Donovan where able to keep the helicopter level so 64 crashed on it's belly and stayed right side up. Unfortunately, the crash was so violent that only Durant survived with a broken back. Both aircraft were hit in the tail because the Somalis' firing the RPGs aimed at the helicopter instead of leading it so by the time the RPG reached the helicopter's altitude, the grenade hit the aircraft in the tail. I'm a little skeptical of her because she claimed at 27:08 that these rocket pods carry 26 rockets... they don't. Those are M261 rocket pods which hold 19 rockets. You can clearly count them in the still picture as she's talking about it. It's concerning because a AH-1 pilot should know how many rockets are carried in one of the two rocket pods used by the US military. It's either 7 rockets (which is what the AH-1W usually carried) or 19 rockets (which the AH-1W usually did not carry due to weight). I don't know where she got 26 from. I'm not aware of any 26 shot aerial rocket pods used by any military.
