      Great Video!! A few mistakes though. 1. Atlanta didnt wander into the line of fire of her ally, her ally mistook her for a japanese ship. 2. The aircraft were from USS enterprise. Enterprises forward elevator was destroyed, so the aircraft flew from enterprise, sand Hiei, and landed at henderson field.

    One thing not mentioned is that the San Francisco was captained by a Medal of Honor holder, Captain Cassian Young, who earned his Medal during Peral Harbor while commanding USS Vestal, the repair ship next to Arizona. McCandless earned the Medal of Honor for his actions on Friday the 13, and would retire as a Rear Admiral in 1952. Not only that, but McCandless son would be the first American to execute an untethered spacewalk.

    Friday the 13th may be unlucky for anyone in this battle, but for USS Fletcher it may be her luckiest day of her life. 13 American ships engaged in the fight. Fletcher was the 13th or last ship in line. Fletcher had a brush of death when 3 Japanese torpedoes ran deep only inches under her keel. Becoming the 3 destroyers to enter the meele, she was the only one still capable of combat by the end. Her hull numbers 445 add up to 13, the task force number 67 also add up to 13. She was named after Admiral Frank FRIDAY Fletcher. By the end of the war she earned 13 battle stars. No wonder Fletcher earned the nickname Lucky 13.

They scrapped so many of them immediately after WWII because Dirty Harry Truman decided to promise a bunch of free sh*t to his voters in the 1948 election and he cut the military budget drastically because he claimed we would never have to fight another war thanks to nukes so he chose to only pay for USAF bombers with nukes and retire 75% of the Navy ships and cut manpower and weapons to the Army and that was why in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean War the 8th Army, stationed in Occupied Japan, were not able to defeat North Korean T-34 tanks with obsolete bazookas and Chaffee tanks thanks to these cuts.

    The IJN Amatsukaze mentioned near the begging of this video was Captained by Tameichi Hara. He has a memoir titled 'Japanese Destroyer Captain', in which he goes into great detail about this battle and the Amatsukaze's fight for survival to return to base. He would later be put in charge of the IJN Shigure, which is often considered one of the luckiest ships of the war(the only survivor of The Battle of Surigao Straight for example); he would also captain the light cruiser IJN Yahagi, witnessing the end of the IJN Yamato(his ship would sink soon after).
    Its a great book if you focus only on his actual battle experiences, not his foreshadowing of defeat and excuses that every other Japanese memoir seems to fall back on(similar to most German Memoirs as well).

  • @kennethhanks6712

    Adm Callaghan's greatest error was, since he had no real training or understanding of the new radar technology, that he had placed his two ships with the best/newest radar installations (cruiser Helena and destroyer Fletcher) at rear of his force where they were least effective. Coupled with no firm battle plan and the relatively inflexible formation he used with confused communications his initial advantage of surprise was lost and the battle became a "barroom brawl".

    • @Jamesbrown-xi5ih
      @Jamesbrown-xi5ih 11 місяців тому +2

      The radar of that era but he was used to dealing with was not reliable in the conditions they were facing.
      The new sets were an improvement, but you needed to know that they could be trusted.
      On top of that, he knew the situation they were going into was grim, but it had to be done.
      And it was not his fault that the following ship ordered stop, throwing the battle line into chaos.

    • @nogoodnameleft
      @nogoodnameleft 7 місяців тому +1

      For some reason everyone forgets that a 🇯🇵 Betty bomber turned into an emergency kamikaze due to fatal damage on the plane crashed into the aft bridge of San Francisco 10 hours before the battle started. This heavily wounded the XO and destroyed the radar and aft primary gun fire control director (SF's rear 8" gun turret wasn't even able to be used for the night battle as a result!!!) and conning tower for the backup command center established in case the forward bridge was completely disabled. The XO, a CDR rank, was killed later that night while in bed recovering from his wounds. He was replaced by the damage control officer, another CDR (his own damage control officer replacement was alongside McCandless the sole surviving officers ranked LCDR and above, which is shocking). 24 were killed and 70 were wounded by this Japanese Betty kamikaze on SF. McCandless would later say that that Betty attack doomed them for the night battle. As a result, there was really no hope for them to win a battle and not suffer such heavy fatalities making the "victory" kind of meaningless. They lost two admirals, two cruisers, 4 destroyers and 1400+ killed. That battle was only a victory after Washington pulled off the miracle 2 days later. The Friday the 13th battle was a disastrous defeat of Callaghan's forces.

    • @TheAdmirableAdmiral

      Callahan is probably "Lucky" he died in this battle. If he had survived I doubt he would have recieved a medal of honor especially considering his ship literally killed Vice Admiral Normal Scott aboard the Atlanta. But this is often overlooked since Callahan was killed too. Now don't get me wrong it was brave of Callahan to go up against a force, knowing he was massively outgunned and he accepted his role with professionalism but I think if he had survived he would have been under the same scrutiny as Halsey was after Leyte Gulf.

      Yeah. The Japanese weren’t expecting American battleships at all (and to be fair, the Americans DIDN’T want to send them-they had run out of operational cruisers by this point though), and didn’t realize they were firing on South Dakota (which did absolutely nothing during the battle but would steal all the credit in the news coverage afterwards; not the first time this particular battleship did something like this) until they’d already badly damaged her-and they apparently completely forgot about the other large ship they’d mis-ID’s as a cruiser, because Washington managed to get into point-blank range before she opened fire (and at that range she was LITERALLY too close to miss her shot). Kirishima never actually duelled Washington, because she never realized Washington was there until she was already sinking.

This was brilliant and i feel like a big Milestone for you guys. the voice-overs such as "fire!" and other orders by the characters has improved aswell. always loved the videos and its great to see you reaxh new heights

    Just finished todays playing of WoWS and I didnt blink for entire clip (which was short)... All mentioned vessels are premium ships in game... So few battles of the steel ships happened in history, and thousands happened with sailships... There are many ppl like me, crazy about ww2 or ww1 sea battles, yet just a handfull of good movies about it. Even this 10minutes clip meant a lot. Keep up with greeeaaaat work...

    You guys are amazing, Thanks a lot for the video. Many people do not know what happened in the Pacific theatre in WW2. For some people, WW2 means allies vs. Germany only. Those who know a bit of history from all sides (Eastern Front, Western Front, African Front, Pacific Theatre and other fronts), those people know how important the Pacific theatre was. All the greatest naval battles happened in this theatre. Thanks again for enlightening us. Love from Canada, eh!

    It is great to see rising interest towards the naval battles around Guadalcanal. For the past few years more and more content creators have begun to shine light towards these important battles and not just talk about Midway (Drachinifiel, Montemayor, The Operations Room etc.). I think Yarnhub should do more videos about the Guadalcanal naval campaign. Perhaps do all the battles? I am especially waiting for Yarnhub's videos of Savo Island and Tassafaronga. If Yarnhub decides to make videos about these battles may I recommend making the Japanese the protagonists in these battles (usually its the Allies who are the protagonists in your videos). In the case of these battles a great idea for protagonists would be admirals Mikawa and Tanaka respectively. Keep up the good work.

    Thnx for making another great naval vid, guys! Now I’ve got an idea of how desperate the U.S. Pacific Fleet was to maintain control of the waters surrounding Guadalcanal!
    Since it’s about to be October, could y’all do a Halloween special or horror-themed story? Also, maybe more vids about flying aces from both world wars?

    • @bkjeong4302
      @bkjeong4302 Рік тому +5

      The US did maintain control in the area, but thanks to Henderson Field.
      The entire reason these battles happened at night was because the Japanese were coming in by night to evade air attacks. But this meant they couldn’t bring anything slow (and they also couldn’t bring anything especially large in confined waters; even the Kongos were pushing the envelope), and they didn’t have enough time to resupply troops.

    Bit of a mistake at 3:16 - a ship (looks like a destroyer, presumably Akatsuki) incorrectly labelled as IJN Kirishima. It also seems like there are three battleship silhouettes in the force as opposed to two.
    Good video nevertheless. Trying to make sense of those chaotic night battles is not easy.

      So they say, but in a lot of these cases there were extenuating circumstances that would have made a Japanese victory unlikely, or at least pyrrhic. Samar is a good example of the Japanese supposedly giving up a golden opportunity that actually didn’t quite exist (as even with Third Fleet under Halsey drawn off with a decoy they would still have had to deal with air attacks from the other two Taffy groups, the main body of Seventh Fleet under Kinkaid and Oldendorff moving north to intercept, and the fact a significant proportion of the American landing forces had already landed).

      @sayhallo3769 Рік тому +4

      @@bkjeong4302 Samar was lost automatically because the americans had air supremacy over the entire pacific. A lot of fights at Guadalcanal could have been turned into a victory by bombarding Henderson, which may not have won them the war but it would make the war more difficult for the Americans.

      They tried again and again and ended up losing 600+ aircraft and most of the highly trained crews as well.The main problem was that Rabual was too far from Gaudancanal it took hours to get there and back and they did not have much time to fight when they finally got there and to add insult to injury most of the pilots and crews were lost many killed by the natives or ended up drowning. That was the real turning point of the Pacific war they lost almost all their trained carrier pilots because of the bad decision to have them fly sorties from so far away where they could not recover them when they were shot down instead of using army or other pilots they never recocered and spent the rest of the war without their best carrier pilots.@@sayhallo3769
