A survivor of WW2 in the Japanese Navy gave a good example of how he realized Japan could never compete with the production of the United States, it was that the US attacked a single ship the Yamato with more planes than Japan used to attack Pearl Harbor.
Flag battleship Yamato sank off Okinawa April, 1945, thus preventing even more US casualties than the 49,000 we did have, 12,000 dead. Compared to the larger, spread out main islands of Japan, Okinawa should have been easy pickings. The impact of the Battle of Okinawa figured largely in Truman’s decision that following August. Would it cost 50,000 troops to take each island of Japan? Each. A total perhaps of 200,000 to take the four largest islands? Losing this ship at this battle, would the Japanese military see that their quest was hopeless? They refused to. Many pleas for surrender were sent before the first bomb fell in August. Again, Truman asked for surrender. They refused. He waited three days. They refused all pleas for surrender. He had the second bomb dropped. Finally, the emperor, not anyone from the military, surrendered.
@@oxcart4172 Quite the contrary. The Japanese knew about the bombs immediately after. And what happened to Hiroshima they knew before Nagasaki. But the military was ready to die and cause all Japanese to die.
@@oxcart4172 The memoirs of Mitsuo Fuchida are serialized on this channel. I suggest you listen to them. He flew to Hiroshima immediately after the bombing.
Noo not "World leaders", just international banksters. Country leaders are bought and paid puppets who dont give a damn. Look how Britain was destroyed, the exact same thing they are now doing to USA. War is highly profitable and the victors are left in poverty, believing total lies, as to the reason why they went to war.
It always seems to be the young man being sent to die while the old man who gives the orders sits back and acts sad about it later. I think wars should be fought by the people who say we should be fighting a war. How many wars would there be if those white haired potbelly politicians had to go fight on the front lines themselves?
Japanese military COMPLETE CONTROL of all aspects of Japanese life illustrates that common citizens had no chance to voice any concerns let alone think about stopping the killing. Americans today need to show that citizens can and will voice their choices. THNK ABOUT IT
Japanese culture was pretty insane that way. The samurai ideals caused a nearly insurmountable amount of peer pressure where a vast quantity of soldiers "chose" suicide overvsurrender/disgrace. Their behaviour towards themselves also affected their behavior towards civilians.
@@alainaaugust1932 Voting is merely to give an illusion, that the people are in control of the government. Asa very wiseperson once said "the purpose of the politic is to divide the people". Works the same in all countries left/right wing yet all follow the same policies. Obama is a classic of promising to undo Dubyya evil work, only then to increase. As for "free speech", no such thing anymore, only have to see how SpewTube censors all WW2 material.
I watched a recent YT Program on the Masahi (sic) regarding locating her undersea. Her original blueprints were located and reviewed. As these ships were so designed, massive hot rivets were used vs welding. They opined, among other reasons why Yamoto as Masahi sank so quickly, is the rivets heated up during the attacks and failed, popping out of the metal. It's an excellent program!
Don't believe every fairy tale that you're told. The Musashi did not sink quickly. It was about 9 hours between the first bomb and torpedo hits and when it capsized. And it took a LOT of bomb and torpedo hits. The Yamato was dispatched more quickly because the Americans took a lesson from their difficulty in sinking the Musashi and concentrated their torpedo attacks on one side of the ship, thus expediting its capsizing. This had nothing to do with failing rivets.
@@gandydancer9710 Exactly. The punishment both ships took showed how well they were built. But in the end it did not matter; as was first learned with the Titanic, no ship is unsinkable.
The Yamato and Musashi to use gun owner parlance were "safe queens". Taken out of the safe to be handled and admired, but rarely if ever used. Often the most expensive and beautiful parts of a collection, but deathly afraid of being used by its owner for fear of marking it up.
The IJN did not have radar-controlled guns or proximity fuses, and the USN had learned from the inefficiency of their helter-skelter attacks on the Musashi how to systematically and efficiently sink her sister ship.
The U.S. cost of destroying this symbol of Japanese might was 10 aircraft and I think about 29 men. The Japanese had no idea of what they were provoking in Dec. 1941! They could have done so much for the people of Japan if they would have used the resources wasted in this senseless war for peaceful purposes.
Isoroku Yamamoto had a good idea of what was going to happen. Apparently the rest of the Japanese navy command structure was living in complete ignorance. The whole idea of no surrender slaughtered Japanese people.
The author did not understand the determination and excitement of the navy pilots when the Yamato was sighted. To be able to avenge the deaths at Pearl Harbor, Wake, Guam, Guadalcanal, Bataan, etc. was a driver for them to throw off caution and go in for the kill regardless of the danger.
In the history of 20th century Naval warfare nothing comes close to the size of the two Japanese Battleships. These Battleships in all there claimed fame did nothing in the war but avoid conflict and become reefs. Between the two they are credited with sinking nothing and shooting down 4 planes between the two.
Don't forget their sister, the Shinano - which was converted to a carrier, and was sunk in Tokyo Bay on its shake-down cruise. Took a spread of four torpedos from the Archerfish.
The responsibility for the sinking of the Yamato belongs to the Japanese navy and not to the US attack. The Japanese navy deliberately sent the Yamato and it's accompanying ships to their sinking.
Yes they did. The decisive battle, that Japan was going to win, was going to get Japan better terms. Unfortunately the believers in the decisive battle were drinking too much sake. The US navy won the decisive battles. The fleet was sent as a ritual suicide. The Yamato with no air cover was never going to reach Okinawa.
The Japanese never understood you can win all the battles and lose the war, also all this nonsense about a decisive battle and divine wind and all that nonsense, does not win wars is pure delusional nonsense

this could have been the Prince OF Wales and Repulse requiem. Big ships without air cover are just target practice for planes.
This telling of the destruction of the Yamato shows so explicitly that war is hell, yet world leaders still see it necessary to wage war regardless!😮

Thank you for your time. Doing my part for the algorithm.
Much appreciated
Do you know if there is a minimum of words before it helps with algorithm .
Absolutely brutal. Half the bridge crew is dead, but it's nice to have room to move around. Holy crap. That's gotta stick in your head forever.
I can't stop watching this. So remarkably poignant...Thank you!

Its amazing how much damage that ship took before it finally sank

What an incredible way to go down
Take comfort in the fact that those that run the defense industries are safe and secure enjoying all aspects of life.
The Yamato and Musashi to use gun owner parlance were "safe queens". Taken out of the safe to be handled and admired, but rarely if ever used. Often the most expensive and beautiful parts of a collection, but deathly afraid of being used by its owner for fear of marking it up.
Some used to call it "hotel Yamato"
That ship has beautiful, graceful lines..
Japan’s will not be the only navy to underestimate the US Navy and its allies.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto conceived the surprise attack on pearl. Whose plane we purposely shot down. Rightly, one of his was so attacked.
Repeated some at the end
...yes, I noticed that...
The IJN did not have radar-controlled guns or proximity fuses, and the USN had learned from the inefficiency of their helter-skelter attacks on the Musashi how to systematically and efficiently sink her sister ship.
Only an automaton could be so oblivious to repeated text. Call a technician to fix to fix.
...sounds like a broken record...
The repeating at the end let this down. Especially for such an important historical event
The U.S. cost of destroying this symbol of Japanese might was 10 aircraft and I think about 29 men. The Japanese had no idea of what they were provoking in Dec. 1941! They could have done so much for the people of Japan if they would have used the resources wasted in this senseless war for peaceful purposes.

What is your evidence for his failure to understand anything?
Did the damage control officer or anyone in his group survive?
What a waste of fine young men. Japan needed these men to rebuild after the war. The Emperor and his commanders should be ashamed of themselves!
Thanks. The Stuff of Nightmares to come.
The horrors of war. When will humans stop killing each other? What a waste.
Never
YOU started it. remember?
Should have laid off of Pearl Harbor.
Nothing about this was tragic except the 12 American planes shot down during the attack.

LOL...so all the US navy places dropping bombs and launching torpedoes had nothing to do with it. Right.
Yes, it was absolutely pointless. The Japanese stubbornly fought on, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of their own lives, for no purpose whatsoever.
@@stischer47 Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?
They hoped for a negotiated peace.
