    The Battle of the Atlantic, the longest continuous military campaign[11][12] in World War II, ran from 1939 to the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, covering a major part of the naval history of World War II. At its core was the Allied naval blockade of Germany, announced the day after the declaration of war, and Germany's subsequent counter-blockade. The campaign peaked from mid-1940 through to the end of 1943.

    4:40. We lost our grandfather in 1943 on board the HMS Celendine , a merchant seaman who volunteered yet was dead the year his son was born. Respect to James Donald Cameron. ☘️🙏

    One factor that is usually ignored or downplayed is German command's insistance on chattering away on the radio.

    In about 1942 the Americans designed an acoustic, homing torpedo which was code named Fido. It was intended to be carried in the bomb bays of B24 Liberators. The crews of the aircraft had orders only to launch when German submarines were diving. This way the Germans didn't know about the weapon. Fido was given to the Royal Navy and the Canadian Navy.

      Fido was rather too late to have a major impact in the Battle of the Atlantic.

    Cover the Battleships of the Royal Navy in WW2 please I do like the Submarines but I’m more interested in Battleships like the Queen Elizabeth Class, Revenge Class, King George The Fifth Class and the super Armoured and powerful 16 inch gun Armed Nelson Class. As well as the 2 Renown Class Battlecruisers and the mighty Hood.
    Also do a cover of their colossal Grand Fleet in WW1

      Yeah you might be right but remember the best navy in the world couldn’t survive without the most powerful navy’s help . If America decided to just focus on the Japanese an not help in Europe, I’m sure ussr and Great Britain would of fallen

      My personal favourite is the Nelson Class Battleship they have such an interesting design and they are the most heavily armoured and armed Capital ships of the entire Navy with their enormous 16 inch guns.

    the reason is that some of the top brass thought submerines were underhanded and un english and were underwater pirates the nick name the sub branch still get called

    • @ScienceChap
      @ScienceChap 3 місяці тому

      That's what the RN thought pre WW1. By WW2, the submarine threat was well understood and worked out by people like Captain Jonny Walker. Most submarine defence was carried out by surface escort groups, not by submarines.

    I don't think it's a "battle" so much as a campaign. A "battle" lasted 5-6 years makes zero sense. It was clearly a campaign with many, many, many engagements and even actual battles.

      So 80 years later you’re more qualified than those who served in the Battle of the Atlantic and we should change the language to suit you? You seem to have a self importance issue going on.
