WWII Shipwrecks of Bikini Atoll

[@ole5539]

My father was here in 1946. Died of a massive tumor on his 63rd birthday...Atomic Veterans have never been properly recognized by the US government.

[@paulcosentino1140]

Yeah they just want to glaze over that kind of stuff. Sorry you lost him early

[@kzrlgo]

Or the people they kicked off the island to use their home to test bombs.

[@Tzunamii777]

It's almost poetic that the Nagato lasted the war, only to be sunk the way it was.

[@francischambless5919]

Complete waste. I'd have rather it been a prize and maintained for tour. All things considered the Japanese made one helluva beautiful and powerful ship.

[@rodneywells4640]

What a wonderful experience All that history JUST AMAZING you sir an your friends are truely blessed

[@BenElsewhere]

Much appreciated my friend!

[@rickyrichards7596]

On the AEC film I saw, the above water blast melted the blast side of some of the vessels and each deck was open to view, clear down to the water line! Then after, the below surface blast, the ships closest to the blast were gone! The 94 foot wave traveling however fast, was just too much force! Now they use torpedoes that explode under a ship and in doing so, the blast lifts the ship up out of the water, breaking it's keel. One torpedo, one ship!

[@dylandog518]

Pissed me off that they did this, saratoga, and nagato had very rich history

[@redalertsteve_]

Dylan Rivers every single ship has history.

[@comradecomrade2553]

Dylan Rivers Don’t forget the Prinz Eugen

[@georgeburns7251]

Well if they hadn’t they would have been scrapped. This was a better end.

[@richardcline1337]

Would have been far better to have saved the Sara and used one of the newer Essex class carriers like the Yorktown, etc. She had far more of a real history.

[@michaelcuff5780]

Not to mention pulluting the whole area for years to come. The native people of those islands got screwed!

[@shalaconballard9912]

It was the shells from the Yomoto that they used to bomb the Arazona with .

[@giorgioperoni7898]

Fabio was the first dive guide , think was a Brazilian We did some crazy shit together

[@CT9067Lizzard]

My grandfather's dad was on the USS MugFord DD 389

[@mackenzienowak6346]

i hope to go diving there someday.

[@boataxe4605]

Kept waiting for “Blinky” to swim by.

[@michaelcuff5780]

Bet it costs a helluva lot more money to do that dive now! Cool video though! Thank you!

[@BenElsewhere]

Awesome thanks.... please subscribe to my channel for more!

[@thepatriot8514]

I wonder how much marine life perished in the blast?

[@lukestrawwalker]

Not enough that it couldn't repopulate obviously...

[@arnoldstollar5375]

Remarkable. Great film.

[@babyj4ne]

Enjoyed watching this but the choice of music was annoying whilst watching 🙄

[@trentslvis4332]

U.S. Naval ship's in WW2 stopped using .50cal machine guns early in 42!. These are 20mm AA guns! FIY!.

[@rainbowrunner1550]

[@eaststarling7805]

Created*

[@Ikerpasillas11]

its not Yatamoto.... learn history!!!! its Yamamoto Isoroku!

[@damrgee8279]

Are they shark infested waters?

[@janusmendiola3328]

Ask the natives who were told not to worry when they blasted these bombs. Their families faced the aftermath of these tests.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yup... lesson number one-- NEVER believe ANYTHING the US gubmint tells you!!! OL J R :)

[@daveharbour5418]

You need to do a bit more research and learn how to pronounce the ships name correctly because as far as i know there was never a ship named Prince Oinkgen, you also need to learn how to speak without the constant ers and ums. With my two gripes out of the way this was not a bad video and thank you for posting.

[@mivisionbroadcast]
