lf you're gonna do a video about an aircraft carrier, don't show a thumbnail of something that couldn't land any aircraft that existed at that time. Whatever TF that ship in the thumbnail is, a WWll aircraft, it ain't. There were no Harriers or F35's during WWll.
My late Dad was a fighter pilot with the VBF-1 aboard the USS Bennington. He and his squadron were sent on a mission on July 24th, 1945 to the Kure Naval base. He bombed the IJN Hyuga, with his bomb striking amidship. He was only 22 years old.
I have been onboard the Cavalla where she sits now in Sea Wolf park on Galveston Texas. Reconfigured to resemble a modern submarine she is a monument to the brave sailors who maned her.
I find it curious that HHYT did not mention she was now a museum display. I've been there too. She sit s as she was after post war improvements. She served until decommissioning in 1969. Beside her in Seawolf park is the destroyer USS Stewart. I've been to the Battleship Texas as well (before she left for her new dry berth)
One of the things that the ijn had to do because of their critical fuel shortage was to use crude oil without refining it. This oil gave off an unusually high level of combustible vapors compared to normal bunker. Consequently it was much more combustible and dangerous
We owe so much to so few left now. Our WWII Veterans are passing into history. The best of us without doubt. I have nothing but admiration and respect for them all. The world owes Veterans a debt we could never possibly hope to repay.
Both my grandfathers were WW2 vets. While alive, they said the same thing about the Civil War generation, and I'm sure that generation said the same thing about the Revolutionary War generation. The years and wars may change, but some people serve with honor.
@@rikk319 you were fortunate to have your grandfathers and their stories. My family were all in the military, grandfather, dad, brother, sister and myself. My youngest daughter also went in the military. Dad didn’t talk of his experience. I got war stories from the veterans at our local VA hospital. My interest started with the European side of the war, later the Pacific side. Watched a lot of programs of WW2, built models of tanks, planes, ships even the PT109.
I only wish I could have realized when my parents were alive how amazing they were. I wish our schools, especially high schools would teach more about WWII and the sacrifices and bravery they gave which kept our country free. Children need to know.
An interesting thing about the Pacific War is that Raymond spruance was criticized for not being aggressive enough and Bill Halsey was criticized for being too aggressive.
Then there’s Earnest King with zero actual combat experience getting upset with Jack Fletcher for the loss of the Lexington and Yorktown. Never mind the fact that he was doing on the job training at Coral Sea with all the confusion and wrong reports that would characterize carrier battles. The loss of both those carriers was sad but they came out ahead and learned valuable lessons. One book I read titled The Admirals does mention that King was pretty jealous of the fact Fletcher had been awarded the Medal Of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Veracruz.
@@mako88sb King probably had a right to be upset with it. From Wikipedia..."After the fighting ended, U.S. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels ordered that fifty-six Medals of Honor be awarded to participants in this action, the most for any single action before or since." "The controversy surrounding the Veracruz Medals of Honor led to stricter standards for the awarding of the Medal of Honor and the establishment of lower ranking medals to recognize a wider range of accomplishments."
"HIT SHOKAKU CLASS CARRIER WITH THREE OUT OF SIX TORPEDOES . . . RECEIVED 105 DEPTH CHARGES DURING THREE HOUR PERIOD . . . HEARD FOUR TERRIFIC EXPLOSIONS IN THE DIRECTION OF TARGET TWO AND ONE HALF HOURS AFTER ATTACK . . . BELIEVE THAT BABY SANK" those were his exact words
My father in law was a MM2 aboard the Cavalla during the carriers sinking, his battle station was aft steering since they did not use hydraulics during silent running. he died at age 94 maybe 5 years ago, RIP MM2 Phil Urban.
Number one, Taiho was not the sister ships of Zuikaku and Shokaku, she was built on similar lines but she was different in a number of ways. One was that she had an enclosed bow which was unusual for carriers at that time. Second she had an armoured flight deck like many RN carriers, and that would be part of her undoing, along with learning the lesson the hard way liked the USN did at the Battle of the Coral Sea with the USS Lexington (CV-2) that you don't try to disperse fumes from a cracked avgas tank by turning on all the fans and blowing the fumes throughout the ship. When Taiho exploded, with the armoured flight deck keeping the explosion from venting in that direction, the explosion blew out her sides and bottom.
The destruction of the shokaku is absolutely brutal. Imagine being on the deck as a japanese sailor as the deck slants further and further beneath the waves and then a series of explosions go off and obliterate the ship
These were some of the bravest, most capable men in our nations history. I hope we have more than a few of them in our navy today. We’re going to need them…
Yes you are absolutely correct! With what is going on in our world today we need a strong group of military men to stand strong and protect America. I’m a 70yo disabled USAF VETERAN & I pray that our military is up to speed to protect our country. God save America from external forces and forces within. The Biden Criminal Family has sold our military secrets to the CCP. The Chinese own our President and America is in grave danger!! God save us all!!
I haven't actually watched it but I have "watched" most of it lol. It's probably my most used footage throughout my videos. Basically the only thing out there that has clips of an aircraft carrier in WW2 being sunk and a lot of good American submarine footage. Appreciate you watching and have a great rest of your week :)
“Dropped anchor off Saipan”……US subs didn’t take anchors on war patrols, nor stanchions and lifelines due to concerns that the chain locker could be burst open during depth charging and drag the sub to crush depth and no lifelines to due concerns that mines could get snagged on the stanchions and drag the mine onto the sub.
I think the actual peace treaty was signed in 1952 but it was signed in California I believe San Diego. That's in contrary with Russia and Japan who have never signed a peace treaty from world War II
@@jerrycottrell302 one of the main flaws of the Mk XIV torpedo is that the firing pin is not lightweight enough. The guys at the Pearl Harbor Submarine Base, who were charged by Charles Lockwood in correcting the torp's flaws, found the right material for the firing pin. The material? Aluminum, specifically, the type found on Japanese aircraft propellers.
1st time viewer, new subscriber...This was really interesting. I'd watched other vids on the topic, but you did a great job of not just illustrating the battle, but the events before & after...Look fwd to future content. 😉👍✌️
We should appreciate that the history, when written by their own WWII historians, distort most of how and especially why it happened. Fascinating to me the development further of the culture, in light of the ownership thing. Still veneration toward the Emperor Hirohito felt by a big senior population.
Amercan submarines did a great job reporting enemy fleet movements, and also sinking many warships and cargo transports. They did such a good job, Japan was practically defeated before the atomic bombs were released on Japanese soil.
The Japanese had one particular fatal flaw, their service men, whether flyers, sailors, or ground troops owed their lives to the emperor and it was an honor for them to die for the emperor. So every experienced flyer, sailor, and ground troop with that in mind, did not really pass on their training and experience, the battle of midway saw the Japanese lose the cream of their experienced flyers, while this was due to being killed in their cockpits before they could take off, it was a loss that Japan would not recover from, however if these had been rotated out to the flight schools before midway they could have trained the new flyers and passed on their experience.
Cavalla was transferred to the Texas Submarine Veterans of World War II. She now resides at Galveston Naval Museum in Seawolf Park on Pelican Island, just north of Galveston, Texas.
Always wondered why the Japanese never seemed to be very good at ASW. If a U boat had lucked into the same position on an allied CV (Post 1943) firing her fish would have been a guaranteed death sentence. Was it radar? training? active/passive sonar or a combination of factors?
Coordination is one element, but they were also limited by poor equipment and vastly out-classes in radar/sonar technology by this point in the war. The fact that captain reported no sonar activity post-attack is telling. The US had also amassed considerable data on Japanese tactics and capabilities, and based their training and doctrine on this data - the IJN didn’t appear to adapt nearly to that extent.
THE JAPANESE IN THE SECOND WIRLD WAR WERE GETTUNG TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL.THE MIDWAY PLAN WAS WHAT WAS NEEDED UNDER THE COOL N CALM LEADERSHIP OF ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET CHESTER NIMITZ GOT IN EXACTLY CORRECT.❤❤❤😅
It was not the US 7th Fleet, that was "Dugout Doug's" 'Navy. The US carrier fleet was the 5th Fleet when commanded by Admiral Spruance and the 3rd Fleet under Admiral Halsay. This was done to try to confuse the Japanese. And while I'm here, it probably would have turned out even better for the USN if Halsay had been in command in the Philippine Sea, and Spruance at Leyte Gulf. Spruance was cautious and Halsey a bit of a loose cannon.
I just can't take it seriously with that name! "Shokaku" sounds like what a sleazy guy in a trench coat in a bad part of town likes to do to anyone who walks past him...
Back when America was great, we had The Greatest Generation. Fast-Forward 80 years: My nephew had a near-perfect score on the SAT and was offered a full-ride scholarship to the U.S. Naval Academy and Air Force Academy. After watching the debacle in Kabul and Joe Biden checking his watch during the off-loading of the 13 dead servicemen (whose deaths Joe himself was responsible for), my nephew turned down both offers.
Remember this, it took two Atomic bombs...in two different cities, to force Japan to surrender. Unfortunately, Japan did not surrender after the first Atomic bomb blast. America dropped a second Atomic bomb....then Japan surrendered and stopped all hostilities. Sad but true.
Don't forget that America dropped two Atomic bombs on two Japanese cities...which ended the war with Japan. Who remembers the pilot's name that dropped both attomic bombs on Japan? I met him for a job interview in the early 1980's. I wasn't interested in the job but I wanted to meet the man that dropped two atomic bombs on Japan.
Interested in reading a Japanese sailor's account on life in Japanese subs? Do a search for 'Kaiten Special Attack Group, A Story of Stolen Youth', the autobiography of Yutaka Yokota.
I’ll have to check that out, thanks for the suggestion! I actually just did a video on Kaitens and so somewhat by relation him as well: ua-cam.com/video/F7VJ8VepHL0/v-deo.html
Why did 1,200 Japanese sailors go down with this ship when it floated for several hours with multiple Japanese ships nearby? Why did they not evacuate any unnecessary personnel from the ship when it was that badly damaged?
"Tragic tale"? What is do tragic? It's tragic the Japanese bombed Perl Harbor. It's tragic the Japanese tortured and murdered allied prisoners of war and civilians. It's tragic thousands of women were raped by them. It's tragic over hundreds of thousands of Chinese unarmed civilians were killed by them. But it is not tragic that a instrument of the horrors the Japanese inflected upon the world was sunk.
A person on a UA-cam article "Here's What People Ate To Survive During World War ll" with the handle, nektekket, wrote me that the United States of America did not win World War ll and seemed very bitter towards the USA. Maybe someone from this article can respond to that person.
1:18 into- "Ozawa concieved". I do not think Ozawa 'concieved/created' this plan. Have read he was ordered to proceed with it, he did not create the idea.
'G 8 oh' or 'Gah toe' . . . . as far as I'm concerned, I will always pronounce it the same way as the brave men did, who died fighting on board twenty of these subs that went down during WW2 . . . . G - 8 toe.
I listen with pride to these war videos. My father was in the European theater and arrived on Normandy beach on D eight. My grandmother said as a truck driver he was responsible for the removal of bodies killed in the battle. I some how realized that all the people that died in this effort were sons and daughters brothers and sisters fathers and mothers of people not unlike me. How sad it is to lose so many loved family members for nothing more than a megalomaniacs desire to control more people.
"Tragic"? What is tragic about sinking the Shokaku? The Japanese started the war after all. Plus they were brutal to their POWs and to people in the conquered lands.
I give a thumbs dow and mark any video on youtube that forces commercials on me! With youtube's new anti adblock feature, I watch only videos that the publisher doesn't load up with three or four commercials before I can watch the video!! So you are out of here!
My Grandad was on a 40MM Bofors AA gun and he always wanted to shoot down a German plane...and BY GOLLY...last week he finally did it!!!! (joke stolen from The Simpsons)

Why did 1,200 Japanese sailors go down with this ship when it floated for several hours with multiple Japanese ships nearby? Why did they not evacuate any unnecessary personnel from the ship when it was that badly damaged?
Look at them Burn!
Thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
"Tragic tale"? What is do tragic? It's tragic the Japanese bombed Perl Harbor. It's tragic the Japanese tortured and murdered allied prisoners of war and civilians. It's tragic thousands of women were raped by them. It's tragic over hundreds of thousands of Chinese unarmed civilians were killed by them. But it is not tragic that a instrument of the horrors the Japanese inflected upon the world was sunk.
Poor wording, I don’t have much sympathy for the Japanese! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
They had no experienced pilots left.

A person on a UA-cam article "Here's What People Ate To Survive During World War ll" with the handle, nektekket, wrote me that the United States of America did not win World War ll and seemed very bitter towards the USA. Maybe someone from this article can respond to that person.
You need to show maps

Det borde vara förbjudet att kriga att vi inte lärt oss att det är livsfarligt.
Jag håller med fullständigt! Tack för att du tittade och ha en bra vecka :)
Wait,,,,,A tragedy this Warship (Japan) was sunk? said the Narrator.
Poor wording, more so loss of life. I have no sympathy for imperial Japan. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
1:18 into- "Ozawa concieved". I do not think Ozawa 'concieved/created' this plan. Have read he was ordered to proceed with it, he did not create the idea.
Probably better phrasing on your part! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
'G 8 oh' or 'Gah toe' . . . . as far as I'm concerned, I will always pronounce it the same way as the brave men did, who died fighting on board twenty of these subs that went down during WW2 . . . . G - 8 toe.
Appreciate the feedback, have corrected it in all videos since this one! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
I listen with pride to these war videos. My father was in the European theater and arrived on Normandy beach on D eight. My grandmother said as a truck driver he was responsible for the removal of bodies killed in the battle. I some how realized that all the people that died in this effort were sons and daughters brothers and sisters fathers and mothers of people not unlike me. How sad it is to lose so many loved family members for nothing more than a megalomaniacs desire to control more people.
Thank you to him for his service, he is a hero!
Good video. Fifth Fleet, not Seventh.
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
"Tragic tale"? The US Navy sunk an enemy carrier and this was "tragic"?
Not at all. We call it “Payback” and “Justice.” 🇺🇸🫡
"Tragic"? What is tragic about sinking the Shokaku? The Japanese started the war after all. Plus they were brutal to their POWs and to people in the conquered lands.

I give a thumbs dow and mark any video on youtube that forces commercials on me! With youtube's new anti adblock feature, I watch only videos that the publisher doesn't load up with three or four commercials before I can watch the video!! So you are out of here!
