You two have found probably one of the best UA-cam channels. With a veteran that tells history through the lens of the average person. He's really that good.
This fast talking country boy isnt my cup of tea. Wish they would find some other channel to react to.
@@Kelly-ml5tl why's that? just wondering why you dislike him
@@Kelly-ml5tllol
YES HE IS.
@@Kelly-ml5tlYea really? Why don’t you like him? He’s great.
By the way, The Fat Electrician is a national treasure. He and Morgan Freeman are our narrators! One speaks fluent military, and the other is as smooth as silk.
Morgan Freeman could be reading the dictionary and I would listen to every word. I just love that voice of his!
I was active duty Navy from 1982-2002. A good friend of mine was on the Roberts that day. He said it was the most insane 24 hours he’d ever experienced. That crew was a miracle.
I bet The Village People is your favorite. lol Navy...lol
@@nielgregory108 Says the chump who has never seen a nipple up close. Well, other than your mom’s.
@@nielgregory108 Low ASVAB scores for you huh
That crew is a legend.
Miracle is the only word. He was right…that damage would’ve sunk any other ship in any navy of the world.
I almost fell out of my chair when he made the comment about and have some ice cream because the U.S. Navy has long considered ice cream a huge moral booster and is almost always available on any naval vessel 😅
He has a video on his channel that explains the story behind WW2's Ice Cream Ships.
You mean the ice cream ships that led to billions of pound of "government" cheese, and a conspiracy to monopolize the dairy industry by the govt? He's got another video on that too lol
many others have pointed this out already, but having ice cream available to troops (a morale boost, as the gentleman above me pointed out) was actually a logistical flex and a show of power. preserved, actually palatable food was practically unheard of for military ships back then.
If I hadn't been driving when he said that, I'd have been on the floor too!
Did an in depth tour of the USS NC battleship and they told us a story of them accidentally hitting another ship with a 5in star burst...since it was a capital ship they had ice cream and as repayment they sent over a crap ton of it to say sorry...after that, all the other smaller ships started wishing the NC would shoot at them as well so they could get some ice cream. Military humor is the best.
Quick note: The E=mc^2 was a reference to the fact that the Enterprise was the first nuclear powered carrier. E=mc^2 being Einstein's theory of matter and energy equivalence which is one of the fundamental concepts in nuclear energy.
I was gonna say, cause I was like “I don’t think that’s newton’s law?” lol!
Also the other 2 ships, the Long Beach and the Brainbrige (I Think thats its name) were also nuclear powered.
Agree 100% with your facts. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared
Yes it is Energy=m(mass)c(constant) squared the c(constant) is light speed
Yup, conflating Einstein’s Special Relativity with Newton’s 3rd law of motion. Though the fact that Sam is aware of them at all still puts him ahead of most people (who aren’t scientists).
I work at the shipyard that built, and repaired this ship. I remember it well. We had just delivered her less than a year before. It was like the moderator said, we took the engine room module from a ship in construction, modified it to replace the damaged section, and welded everything back together. Actually, after the repair job, they navy said it was “better than new” because its sea trial numbers were better the 2nd time around.
No way the sea trials were better the second time
It can happen if there were improvements made to the engine room between the two ships. It happens.@@Dannyedelman4231
@@Dannyedelman4231They swapped in a Hemi....
@Dannyedelman4231 if the room weights less it's possible
I was in the Navy at the time, Roberts was actually a few knots faster after the new engine room.
7:34 no matter how many times I see this guys video the "Balogna Mist Cloud number 1" has me rolling every time
I was in the Navy and there during that skirmish. This guy definitely knows how to tell a story.
Was there in the beginning and for Nimble Archer. USS Knox FF 1052
He is the absolute greatest. His story telling delivery is second to none. And yes, us Americans really don't like it when you mess with our boats. It's an excuse we use to get into just about every major war ever.
And, there is actually a strategic reason for this. Post WWII, America's power and military prestige throughout the world was built on our ability to rule the oceans and maintain safe shipping.
So, it is never advisable to eff around with our boats, lest ye seek to find out. 😁
@@MrNakedweasel It hasn't been advisable to mess with our boats ssince the Barbary Pirate did FAFO.
Habitual line crosser states this and how much the us military loves getting "proportional" too. This guy and HLC are excellent if you want to learn a LOT, and laugh at the same time.
Off the top of my head: Barbary Pirates in North Africa messed with American merchant ships so US Marines were sent in, war of 1812 was in part started due to the British stopping US ships and impressing some of their sailors to serve on Royal Navy ships, Spanish-American War started when the USS Maine blew up in Spanish controlled Cuba, US joined WW1 in part due to Germany sinking Ocean Liners with Americans on board, US entered WWII due to the sinking of several of their ships at Pearl Harbor, the US full involvement in the Vietnam happened due to an attack on a US Ship in the Gulf of Tonkin.
@@seannordeen5019 RMS Lusitania, don't even touch our neighbors boats. 🇺🇲 🇬🇧
Important and relevant: The Samuel B. Roberts is named for one of two destroyers that took on the world's largest battleship (IJN Yamato), along with two other Japanese battleships, half a dozen light cruisers and seven destroyers while protecting six small aircraft carriers during the "Battle off Samar", which was one of five phases of the much larger Battle of Leyte Gulf. USS Samuel B. Roberts and USS Johnston were sunk, but they successfully protected five of the six carriers.
That Sammy B earned the nickname The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship
Thanks for that❤
Almost completely correct, the Roberts was a Destroyer Escort which made its charge even more impressive... she didn't even have the firepower of a destroyer and still charged an entire fleet.
Dont forget USS hoel and gambier bay
yep David vs Goliath
I was stationed on the USS Simpson after this happened. Guys were still there and talked about it. One of the harpoon missiles got close to hitting. They said you could hear it. There is a book that discusses this battle. It is considered one of the most important sea battles of all time due to the fact it was the fist time missiles had been used in a sea battle.
Missiles (French made Exocet specficially) were used in the Falklands war in 1982. One struck and sank the HMS Sheffield. Another struck and sank the Atlantic Conveyor,. A 3rd Exocet struck the HMS Glamorgan, but only skimmed across the deck and exploded.
@@RMartin631 I think maybe he meant the first time ship-fired anti-ship missiles were used, because if I remember right, it was Mirages that fired Exocets in the Falklands War. I'm not sure if either side had ship-launched guided missiles.
The Argentinian forces fired Exocets from the air and from shore batteries, they also had ships that were equipped with the missiles. @@Maria_Erias
I was born and live in Maine across from the shipyard on the Kennebec River that built and repaired the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts. American ships have been built here since the 1600's at the Popham Colony near this shipyard in the city of Bath. I have family members who have worked there over the years. These Arleigh Burke Guided Missle Destroyers are beasts. Navy sailors gave the ships built here the motto "Bath Built is Best Built" because they have proven to be able to survive lots of battles in WWII.
Lots of history here also like the building of the Wyoming which was the largest sailing ship in the world.
The fat electrician is a chamnel i recommend to everyone! Absolutely the best history teller of all, keeps facts straight amd does his homework and adds back the human side historians take out!
This makes me a proud US Navy Veteran.
Thank you for your service!! When and where did you serve? (1976-1982 Norfolk VA)
@@reb3610Thank you too for your service!!!!! 1986 to 1990 @ Oceana VA and 1990 to 1994 @ Patuxent River MD
I served 2000-2004 in Oceana, VA with VF-31 Tomcatters. We were with CAG-14 on the USS Abraham Lincoln during the longest Naval deployment since Vietnam for Operation Enduring Freedom's 1 year anniversary and for the opening stages (Shock & Awe) of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Pleased to meet you fellow shipmates!
And thank you for your services as well.
@@RobGamesOn Thank you too for your service. I was in an A-6 squadron (VA-35) with CAD-8 on the Theodore Roosevelt during the maiden voyage deployment to the Mediterranean '89
He’s a good storyteller. I really enjoy his channel. This story wasn’t entirely hushed up but we certainly didn’t hear all of it. I worked (in the defense industry) at that time and had two children to raise. It didn’t look like a situation that was going to lead to war so I didn’t worry about it. Hearing the details now tells me how close we came with no one the wiser.
I follow this guy he tells history with humor. He served in our military so he has an insight that most don't. I love your reactions keep up the good work.
I was in the US Air Force in the 80s and never heard about any of that. Another "not making the news" event was when a F-18 off the USS Nimitz shot down 2 Libyan fighter jets after they fired on a RC-135 flying recon over international waters but Libya said the RC was inside the Libyan line. I saw the bullet holes in the aircraft tail when it arrived back home at Offutt AFB. There was no response from Libya about losing the 2 fighter jets.
I remember something along these lines. wasn't that the build up to the " Line in the Sand " Quadhafi made, that the Navy went ahead and crossed anyway ? Basically daring them to respond.
Could be. Libya had a habit of establishing boundary lines that no one but themselves recognized.
American here 51 years old.
Not only did the American people hear about this “Saturday Night Live” (Skit Comedy Show) did skits about it making jokes about how Iran has 3 fewer Oil Rigs. You can probably find it on YT.
Iran and the “States” had beef due to the Iran Hostage Situation about a decade earlier.
The American people were quite happy giving a “Proportional” response to them damaging one of our ships.
I believe Johny Carson did a joke about it too. He used to do these "answer first, then I divine the question" jokes. and the answer was "20,000 leagues under the sea" so he says "The Iranian Navy".
Pretty sure it was just the exocet missile launch which was swept under the rug.
He’s an old medic…..and damn good historical storyteller👍
I'm so glad I joined along for your adventures, through eating food to visitng the states. Thanks for making wonderful videos that always brighten my day. I hope the family has a lovely new year~
Nick is one of the greatest story tellers on UA-cam. As former Bomb Squad member, I love his older EOD video.
And his “stories “ are historically accurate.
@jimreilly917 almost. He does get things wrong here and there like dates but he is more than happy to accept the correction.
Ex Army EOD here as well, his stuff is great 🤣
I haven't seen that video, do you know the name of it and if it's still up?
@@riverlady982 simple as (fat electrician EOD) his thumbnails are simple and to the point so they are easier to find.
Probably 99% of Americans don't know the stories he tells. 😊 He's gonna make an excellent history teacher! 😃
You don’t speak for America
He doesn't know the stories he tells.
@@SpiderCUZ999 Who said I did??
@@user-ow1qu4qp8eI suppose you do? Why don't you tell us the real story?
True, but every US Navy sailor knows it. Damage Control, how to keep the ship afloat and hopefully back in the fight. Since WWII many ships and sailors have been saved by damage control.
This was a great video, and I don’t recall any news coverage of this engagement until after it was over. Having served in the USN, (prior to this mission), you can bet there’s situations all the time that aren’t public.
Go Navy! 🇺🇸💪
I love this guy!!
He has a certain dry delivery that just cracks me up!!
I was a "young" adult at this time, but I do NOT remember any of this ever happening. This was a fascinating trip through my own country's history. Thank you for sharing. God bless our service men and women. Such a great story.
Me too & I don't remember it either. Really strange as my dad worked in Saudi Arabia in the 80's & he & my mother lived there then. But news was different & social media did not exist. Different world.
I've seen every video The Fat Electrician has put out, and he teaches military history better than most high school history teachers. You guys should cover all of them.
High school history teachers don't cover military history...😶
@@robertlee4809 They should.
Great reaction to one of the best 'maximum words per minute' storytellers on UA-cam! 😀
I was 19, almost 20 when this happened in '88, and I remember the story of the frigate hitting the mine and, against all odds, being salvaged, and I remember (partly because a friend of mine's older brother was serving on the Enterprise at the time) learning how "proportional" the response was against the Iranian Navy (such as it was), but I only learned about the Silkworms incident when I first watched TFE's video about Operation Praying Mantis. He's an incredible storyteller and I love his and your channels so much! Keep up the great work N Zedders!
I knew about it but really because I was serving on the air craft carrier that took over for the Enterprise about a month after the incident happened. Back then, when we were at sea we were almost completely isolated from what news reached home so I was actually surprised to find out how little of the incident reached the public news.
He is a really good storyteller. I didn’t know anything about this story. There are many stories he has done that I didn’t learn about. Watch the one about Cassius, Clay, amazing. Also he does a lot of stories from World War II veterans. I love watching all watch him.
I should note that this isn't the Cassius Clay who later became Muhammad Ali but a completely different Cassius Clay from the early 1800s who was, as it happens, about equally badass.
@@psymar It is the man that Muhammad Ali had originally been named after.
Love you guys channel. Always glad when a new reaction comes out and you guys happened to choose one of my favorite storytellers, the Fat Electrician. He has some of the best stories on UA-cam. I highly recommend these Fat Electrician videos. They are my favorites:
- The Most Gangster Marine of All Time
- America Stole A German Submarine and Stuck It In Chicago
- The Most Gangster Politician Ever Cassius Marcellus Clay
- Biggest Logistical Flex Of All Time - Berlin Airlift
= America Dismantles Pirate Nations For Touching Their Boats - The Barbary Wars
yup...all of them are gems. and Sgt Reckless: America's warhorse. ( probably my fav so far )
I also like the "Get off my lawn" one. But the Barbary wars one has to be in my top 5 faves... if not my fave.
My dad used to work on the A6. A lot of the people in the military knew what happened back then but we weren't allowed to talk about it in great detail. My dad couldn't tell us what he did for the A6 intruder but I know he worked on laser guidance systems . In short NEVER mess with the U.S. 😅
American here. Old enough to know this, BUT, I have never heard of this story before, so thank you for sharing it!
Very entertaining.
I served in the US NAVY from 6/1980 - 6/1986 and this is the first time I heard the complete story. Only was aware of bits and pieces up to now. Great video!
You guys have to watch his episode regarding when the US stole a German submarine. Amazing story
And where they shoved it.
even better where they took it for a joy ride@@m2hmghb
I wish we were still the same. Thank you for sharing it with us.❤ and Happy New Year to you and yours !!!
10:05 My dad served on the USS Enterprise during this conflict, it's interesting to hear some of the things he experienced because he never talked about it.
It was a very good decision to leave the kids out of this one. Chubby Electron is funny and a great storyteller, but he never hesitates to curse. It's a great channel, and I recommend watching him. He talks about American heroes that even we didn't know about.
"Chubby"? Are you trying to edit his channel name?
@@jordandale85 he often makes jokes about keyboard warriors, and the character always calls him this. I believe a good example is his F-15 video.
@@jordandale85as mentioned he often reverts to a "keyboard warrior" character during his vids who refers to him as "the chubby electron" guy.
It's a running gag in his vids.
The story behind the aircraft carrier with e=mc² is the The USS Enterprise (CVAN-65), the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
The picture was taken July 31, 1964 and was a product of "Operation Sea Orbit".
It was the first nuclear powered task force, "Task Force One" comprising of USS Enterprise(CVAN-65), USS Long beach (CGN-9), and USS Bainbridge (DGLN-25). and sailed 26,540 nmi (49,190 km) around the world in 65 days and without a single refueling or replenishment.
The USS Enterprise remade this photo in 2011 for the 50th anniversary of the ship.
That dude was very entertaining. Happy New Year Our New Zealand Family!
E=mc (squared) is nice, but the USS Teddy Roosevelt (CVN 71) had its crew spell out: "Big Stick" on deck. Classic!😎👍
A lot of Americans knew later because it was all over the news. I knew when it was happening because I was a Navy veteran at the time and all my Navy buddies were calling me telling me what was going on. Please don't take this the wrong way but I was sitting on a couch, drinking a beer and laughing my arse off the whole time. It kind of reminded me of listening to the play by play of a game on the radio when I was a kid.
My late husband was in the Navy (1965-1969). He had a similar reaction to this event.
Love this guy's stories. He's so good.
The Fat Electrician aka Nick makes history more entertaining and relatable to the average person then any teacher in school. He is so good. I think most people have learned more about history in the US from his channel then ever. Definitely a go to channel. He actually is going to college to get his degree in history right now. He always talks about how he has to put these kids in their place when it comes to communism lol.
One correction to what was said....the A6 Intruder Pilot and Navigator/Bombardier sit side-by-side instead of front and rear. A good movie with the A6 intruder is called "Flight of the Intruder"
I lived in a navy town where my father was a boss at a shipyard that built nuclear submarines. That’s about as close as civilians can get to the navy and I can say that it didn’t make the news. Having talked to my dad about his job he never talked about it but I do recall him saying that for a time during Regans administration, they were on high alert which basically meant that the submarines would patrol the coastline along New England.
I know what that is like. I've worked Transit Security for almost 14 years now in Seattle. Not so much anymore but we have had numerous times where we all get mandatory overtime with only one day off to we have essentially double coverage due to potential terror threats the public never hears anything about. For example, are you aware that a terror cell in Michigan was arrested for planning attacks on public transit right at Christman time 2010? Probably not but we knew about it and that was the first such time we were put on high alert like that. It's amazing what they will sweep under the rug if they can.
@@straighttalkwithkyle7947 I wasn’t complaining that the public doesn’t always know of such things. There is such a thing as “need to know”.
That was a fascinating story about Iran’s naval fleet.
"Proportional" is entirely subjective and in the eyes of the beholder 🤣🤣🤣
My father was on the USS Samuel B Roberts when the boat hit the mine. There is a book called No Higher Honor about it
Yea, he’s still with us and was part of the crew that saved the boat. Pretty cool shit
Respect and thanks to your dad! SN Ric Klemme Sammy B. NHH
I grew up a military brat in the 80's and was never told this. Thank-you so much for stirring my interest. 😊
His entire channel is worth reviewing ... he is a friendly UA-cam creator and allows others to review his content
E=MC2 is not Newton’s second law of relative motion.
It’s Energy equal the mass times constant squared.
This has todo with nuclear power.
*third law of motion
The sailors on the USS Enterprise spelled E=mc² on the deck to recognize the ship as the first ship to use nuclear energy as a power source.
Hey guys, love your videos. First, let me qualify this by saying that I served 20 years in the U.S. Navy with 15.5 years of that serving onboard ships, most of that during the Cold War. You would be totally terrified if you only knew how many times we had close calls with the U.S.S.R. It was almost like we were daring one another to make a mistake; kind of like China is doing now. I was on one 45 day mission that on 2 occasions scared the wits out of me and probably the rest of the crew as well. Unbelievable stuff...
I hope you two enjoyed the rest and relaxation of your trip to America. I didn’t see your youngsters watching that short video and I’m glad, they will learn that kind of language soon enough if they already haven’t. I know they learn that in school and with their peers but you don’t have to push the issue.
Hey guys hope you guys are having a great start to the new year! Gonna love the reaction like always 🎉
Check out his video "America Dismantles Pirate Nations For Touching Their Boats." You'll enjoy that one!
The Soviets part makes me laugh every time. "we're here to take pictures, for history"
Just recently found your channel and have really enjoyed "binge" watching it! You folks are awesome!
Just found this dudes channel through a different reaction. All his stories are awesome!
You gotta check out the 78 year old man vs 700 British
It’s mind blowing
Yeah that's the "Get off my lawn!" one it's great ;)
Oh I love this video. Never heard of this! I'm 52 and its the first I've heard of it as a USA gal. Yes please more of this. We are a Navy family ourselves. Thanks for sharing this! Loved it.
Thanks ♥️ Much Love! #Michigan
At the time this happened there was already an ongoing operation protecting the tankers called Operation Earnst Will. This went on from July '87 to Sept '88. Samual B was part of that operation when it hit the mine. They also used a helo from the Samual B during Praying Mantis as part of the "proportional " response.
I wasn't there at that time, but I was part of a special boat unit in the northern gulf at the time the USS Vincennes (CG-49) shot down a civilian airliner in July '88.
My X.O. on the Moose during Desert Shield/Storm was the weapons officer on the Samual B when they hit the mine.
Happy New Year to My New Zealand Family ❤️ Y'all From Texas .
I never knew about any of that happening, but I would guess these type stories are great fodder for some of our favorite TV show and movie plots. For example, I know someone whose husband was a navy seal. She says his life in the military was pretty close to what was depicted in the movie, "Act of Valor" (2012). I guess that's about as close as we civilians get to knowing about most of these things except when you and other UA-camrs bring it to our attention. So thank you and keep 'em coming. Love y'all, fam!
I just binged every single one of your videos and I’m hooked from here on out. Love from Texas. God bless your family.
Absolutely loved this!! Much love from far western KY 💙
That was a great story and seamlessly told!
Happy New Year!!! I'm in Kentucky and have just over 4 hours till midnight.
Anyways, you've found one of the greatest history story tellers on YT. The fat electrician is hilarious, and he loves to tell the lesser known stories. Check out his video about World War Tree. And yes, I meant to type "Tree"🌲. It's one of my favorite videos of his.
Dudes story telling makes everything he does so much better haha
I was in college when this happened. What I remember the most about it was about a year after the events, there was a Naval Combat Game for the PC that had a few scenarios based on Operation Praying Mantis and the Iranian Harassment of Persian Gulf Shipping.
I was six years old when this happened, but I generally remember the back and forth with Iran. Airliner shoot downs. Ships being damaged and beyond Iran, the Air Force Bombing Libya, so it was definitely covered back then.
I was 30 yrs old and working on Wall St so we always got the news first. I do remember the Samuel Roberts having hit a mine and the US Navy sinking a few Iranian Speedboats but I don't remember the name Operation Preying Mantis. The airliner shootdown was earlier in 1988 during the Iran-Iraq War. Iran Air Flight 655. While the US has never formally apologized, Reagan did say send a diplomatic message expressing "Deep Regret". Clinton later sent the Iranian families 61.8 million USD in 1996 as part of a settlement reached with Iran at the International Court of Justice.
Happy New Year from my family to yours! 🥳🥳🥳
I LOVE MY COUNTRY! I am so proud that we love and protect our people. God bless America--now and forevermore!
The Apaches are made in Mesa, Arizona....about one mile from our house. They frequently do test flights over the area and it never gets old.
This was on the news back in the 80's. I was a teenager at the time but I remember it on the television. We didn't get most of the details but everyone was definitely paying attention.
The Fat Electrician has some great ones! One of my favorites is the one about the Barbary Wars (America Dismantles Pirate Nations For Touching Their Boats - The Barbary Wars). You might find the story about surplus cheese interesting (America's Secret Underground Cheese Bunkers), and he has done some videos about vehicles like the F-15 and B-1 that are great too!
That was nice. I've seen it already. But then the nice fellow that played that kept interrupting. You played it through pretty good without interruptions. And it is more fun to watch that way. Cheers!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Bronx Love guyz😎😎😎
The Fat Electrician is an AMAZING story teller
The original USS Samuel B Roberts was a legendary WWII ship and also a heck of a story with its shipmate the USS Johnson
he's an excellent story teller. He has many videos that are great. My personal favorite is about Samuel Whitmore (angry old verteran versus 700 redcoats) but if you want one from ww2 in the pacific you could check out his video on the eager beavers.
In 1982-83 I was deployed to the Middle East. There was so much stuff that went on that has never been released to the public. It is amazing that these kind of events are being released now.
Hello from Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville , Arkansas USA 🇺🇸 22years Active Duty Veteran Retired ! This is the Worlds largest C-130 base in the World 🌎🙌! 114 of them when i 1st arrived !
TFE has so many entertaining videos. I hope you will do more of them. The Barbary Pirates episode is one of my favorites.
You guys found one of the best channels in UA-cam.
Murica! That was such an awesome story! I've never heard about this before.
I am so happy that two of my favorite channels have finally found each other!
Yah I’m from Tennessee and I have been told the stories my uncle fought in the war
I'm a little sick but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family great videos keep up the good work
Hope you feel better soon! Happy New Year! ☺️
I was in serving in the army national guard when this happened. Most everyone I knew had a "no you didn't " attitude.
It was extremely fun watching the video and your reactions. Some information was new to me, the rest bringing up memories.
E=mc2 was painted on the enterprise deck for its debut launch, because it was the first nuclear powered aircraft’s carrier.
You should check out some of his other videos. Funny and informative. The one on the X-29 is good as is the one the F-15. It a good look into our military R&D.
TheFatElectrician is an amazing story teller. All of his videos are awesome, I've been a fan of his for about 2 years now.
The Fat Electrician and Habitual Linecrosser are two great channels for this kind of content. Glad to see our favorite New Zealanders found The Fat Electrician. Would love to see what they would think of Grandpa Buff and the gang.
My recruiter was on the Roberts when that happened. I also was enlisted on the Frigate, USS Kauffman, the sister ship after that 10 years later. Good times. 😊
I enjoy watching your reactions, and am happy you're our New Zealand family!
I am so glad you guys are starting to react to The Fat Electrician. His videos are great, you should definitely check out more (especially the one on the Barbary War).
6:30 That was in reference to the Enterprise being the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
Einstein would've absolutely despised this. I think its cool though lmao.
@@ToastyZach no he wouldnt have. what are you talking about lol
@@domshooter934 Einstein was very openly anti-war, even before WW2. And that equation was his life's work. It was his crown achievement. He very much hated that fact that it helped lead to the creation of the nuclear bomb. You really think he would have approved of it being slapped onto a warship? Maybe you should read a little and put that tiny brain to work.
