USS Bergall 'The Bergall's Revenge'

[@paulmiddleton4215]

after seeing this series originally on tv, here i am, binge watching every episode for at least the 5th go around, and enjoying each one as i did originally. thank you for posting these shows

[@mariosmith5352]

I sincerely appreciate these stories of our Silent Service! One of my heroes is Capt. Beach and I am very honored that he took the time to autograph my hardbound copy of "Submarine!' accompanied by a hand written letter from him. Thank you again for bringing these stories back to life (from a Vietnam Air Force veteran)

[@Mike12522]

When you have Spock as your sonarman, you can't lose. 😊

[@Faronthefiddler]

Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, was a Cajun. Absolutely and thoroughly awesome.

[@JEMCochran49]

When I first saw this episode, I didn't recognize Leonard....he was so young. Then I saw the credits and watched the episode again.

[@davidpierce2163]

I am so thankful that I'm able to watch this series that I never knew existed. I've been watching each episode for two days now. thanks again for making them available. dp.

[@privatebubba8876]

I don't remember my crew mates being so jolly. especially when a deployment was extended and the smokers ran out cigarettes.

[@NotaVampyre111]

A moment of silence for that poor pod of dolphins that made the mistake of trying to say hi to an acoustical torpedo.

[@normandoty6133]

just great seeing Nimoy, esp now that he has passed. never heard of opening the tubes much deeper than periscope depth. really great to see this episode, i never knew of the "Q" torpedo. i was a cold war torpedoman, i did work on the mk 14 torpedo though.

[@clearingbaffles]

Norman Doty I was a nuc EM and read every book I could about subs before I joined and I remember reading about them but I thought they came out later and attacked just as he said in a climbing circular pattern My first boat had Mk 14, 37 & the disaster my second Mk 48 harpoon & tomahawk

[@timengineman2nd714]

I think that they may be referring to the Mark 24 Mine. (They used the term Mine so that if any enemy agent heard someone talk about it, that they wouldn't figure out that it is a torpedo!) Smaller diameter of 19 inch, had a warhead of HBX weighing 92 pounds (~42 Kg), and was mainly used as an airdropped Anti-Submarine Torpedo, that wouldn't engage any target at 60 feet or shallower. I guess that they reversed the system to engage no target below 60 feet! The main problem was that it was very slow (max speed 12 knots), but since it was develop as a weapon to sink submerge enemy submarines this wasn't a problem. They solved the difference of torpedo size .vs. the destroyer's torpedo tube size by putting strips of wood on the side of the torpedo to make up the difference. NOTE: I don't know if the wood separated from the Mk24 after it cleared the tube, or stayed with the torpedo all the way to the target.

[@isilder]

You would want the inner door to hold the pressure of the deep dive,because the outer door might be defective ...

[@isilder]

He says that he doesnt know if it can withstand depth charges... implying it was able to stand the "test depth", just not extra from depth charges.,

[@Mechanized85]

@@timengineman2nd714 Submarine were using Mark 27 torpedo, inspired came from this little mark 24 idea as well.

[@raymondj8768]

Richard Damm thanks for all the great videos i just love them good work buddy !!!!!

[@ettoredipugnar6990]

Thanks for posting these programs !!!

[@RonnFolk]

@12:53 "He shot his wad, we're in the clear" Now that is funny! You won't see that on T.V. any more.

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

I'm pretty sure the phrase originally meant a wad of chewing tobacco.

[@RonnFolk]

@@edwaggonersr.7446 funny how time changes the meaning of words.

[@yorokobi9530]

It stems from the Napoleonic era and applies to weapons that misfire or fire blanks. The word refers to a piece of cloth or fiber that is placed between the powder and the projectile. Shooting your wad implies that there was no projectile. As such, it's entirely appropriate.

[@GermanShepherd1983]

19:46 Nimoy sounds just like Spock on the bridge of the Enterprise

[@maddyg3208]

Explains why all the dolpins around Bali swim away at top speed whenever boatloads of humans come near.

[@johnrettig1880]

DeForest Kelley has played the submarine Captain three to four times So far I've seen Leonard Nimoy twice as a sailor I wonder if or when Bill Shatner shows up

[@markunger1098]

Shatner doesn't but Roger C Carmel who played Harry Mudd in Star Trek does.

[@23draft7]

Gilligan, Bob Denver also been in Silent Service episode. Professor also. (with a beard also with Bones, (Deforest Kelley) same episode. There's more.

[@docbailey3265]

George Takei plays a Japanese pilot several times.

[@michaelzaug8750]

[@kensod6034]

God bless our veterans. Brotherrr

[@johnrogan9420]

Each sub seems to have had a different way of ordering the torpedo to be fired.

[@kenjohnson6603]

Food for thought. During WW ll there were countless Japanese tankers loaded with oil sank in the Pacific ocean. In modern times if one barrel of oil is lost in the sea there is hell to pay, but in the early 40/s there is never one mention of the pollution. Why is that?

[@JK-rv9tp]

Because the oil isn't really long term pollution. It gets consumed by microbes in the seawater and basically disappears on its own. The warmer it is, the faster the oil is consumed. The big BP oil spill in the Gulf was pretty much gone in a few years. Crude oil leaks into the ocean from fissures in the sea bottom all the time.

[@johnrobinson3852]

Very exciting episode this one

[@georgehauk4609]

On the anniversary of the commissioning of our Boat the Bergall (SSN667) we watched this one

[@georgejetson6556]

The headline visible at 3:06 references a mid air collision of a C-118 and a P2V in 1958 over Norwalk, CA.

[@michaelzaug8750]

[@richardcline1337]

The USS Bergall survived the war only to be given to the Turkish navy. She was given the same fate as many of her sisters, being broken up for scrap in 2000.

[@wntu4]

RIP porpoises.

[@jimlaguardia8185]

I am glad these brave men did not live to see what their descendants became.

[@baltsosser]

This was a great story. It is rare that the front line guys get someone from the rear out and about to test a 'theory' on a new weapon or technique when it counts. That would have been too juicy an opportunity to pass up on.

[@paulinekeenan9526]

A pity Leonards ears were covered by the headphones

[@kmkaero4661]

14:55 - OMG it sounds like him too.

[@ThePyramidone]

Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek's Mr. Spock) as the sonarman in this early TV role

[@johnpower8356]

Love these. (A Ganger) 674

[@bobjohnson3077]

Maybe they should have called this "The First Tailhook Incident"...

[@mjc11a]

Bob Johnson: Spot-on Bob!! I thought the exact same thing. Greetings from SE Asia.

[@paulredinger420]

Jay, that's because you take for granted your freedom to say and think how you do. Lots of men have died and bleed for our freedoms. Without the horror of combat and those of us that have earned a CIB badge. You might of been lead to a gas chamber or medically experimented on by the Japanese 731 unit . Be thankful that not all people feel as you do. Who knows you might not of been born because of your ethnic background.

[@ianrsigel]

Sonar operator...Mr. Spock...RIP.

[@normdoty]

agree.

[@victorboucher675]

Spock can't you communicate with them porpoise like you did with the whale in that movie? I'm sorry captain, they are Japanese kamikazi dolphins.

[@chrislouden7329]

Not even funny! I use to regularly dive with wild dolphins between Catalina island and Los Angeles harbor

[@johnrogan9420]

Spock as your radioman!

[@kdrapertrucker]

Someone needs to restore and colorize these old shows.

[@AndrewVelonis]

Yes on one, no on two.

[@robertnegron9706]

Oh chit. Leonard nimoy.

[@paulredinger5830]

The sound man is Mr. Spock! Or Leonard Nimoy.

[@larrytownley2231]

Is that spock on sonar???!!

[@AndrewVelonis]

Take a look at the freakin credits, that's why they're there.

[@dave-in-nj9393]

neat to see Spock on sound, good practice before he became science officer

[@welshpete12]

My that girl is pretty ! Were they able to go back and pick up that officer that dived into the water ? Or was he drowned ?

[@IndependentBear]

He is shown going below just as they were diving.

[@raymondj8768]

[@partssman1]

12:53 he shot his wad we're in the clear

[@Betterifitsfree]

They could say that on TV in the 50's?

[@markhonerbaum6988]

It's a great show based on fact yet the medium won't allow full screen that's why I'm reluctant to establish a account, they have no ability to state $ an cents.

Them Dolphins said the capin did that to em on porpoise.....

A young Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock) @14:32. Wonder if this is how his relationship with Deforest Kelly (Dr. McCoy) started?
