Loved it when the full videos weren’t blocked on UA-cam

And people nowadays have no respect. Saying that navy is easy work and not risky. I hope they realize how hard the duty on ships special the patroling
Loving this barrage of WW2 content! I used to watch this stuff with my dad when I was a child... 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 (mabuhay mga kababayan 🇵🇭)
I can't believe that you also love this kind of content, from PH!
Mabuhay!!
Nice will☝
May naiinggit yata sayo will..dalubhasa raw sya😄😆✌
ang Dalubhasa Speaking of proud, are you proud everytime that you elevate idiocy to whole new levels?
Someone once said, "Yamato was like forging the perfect sword while everyone else is busy making machine guns."
日本は世界で最初に空母を作った国です。大和は第二次世界大戦以前に計画された戦艦です。
第二次大戦開戦時、日本はアメリカより多くの空母を持っていました。
アメリカ人の多くは、このことを知らないだけです。
Good battleship, but bad timing.
@@striderpup1169 Plus they're pretty confident
Yamato is one of most poweful battleship in all time unfortunately it cant hold the numbers of aircrafts that sent by us navy at that time theyre fleet is not enough for it and also yamato's main weapon is that gigantic artillery not anti aircrafts guns maybe that is why they losed
Well american fighter are all veteran after all that cant be helped 🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t that from WoWs?
My late father's older cousin was a pilot who fought in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. RIP, cousin Richard Harris.
What plane did fly? What was his rank?
@@TheCrowOfJudgement He was a lieutenant, USN. Unfortunately, I don’t know what plane he flew, as I was too young and dumb to know what to ask back then.
► Jesus
I enlisted in '59 when the twenty year guys were ready to get out
They had stories to tell you couldn't believe
One of them told me the pilots were crazy, and they had to be crazy to go up there, and I'm still trying now to figure out what he meant
Your cousin have the same name as the guy who played dumbledore
My father's cousin was Leon Kinberger
The Battle of Leyte Gulf is referred as the most important naval battle in the Pacific theater after the Battle of Midway.
Good, good, I like how u said after midway to clarify midway was still more important otherwise I would Probally be mad
if the battle of midway was the battle of counter intelligence, the battle of leyte gulf was the battle of deception and strategies.
The battle of midway was the very important, but this one is the final wave the last stand was for japan was yamato japan didnt have a chance to use yamato at the battle of midway it was like the battle of aircraft carriers.
I think Coral Sea was of paramount importance, before Leyte and after Midway
coral sea decided that aircraft carriers would dominate the seas
Who needs History channel when you have Mark Felton productions
Mr Zon or simple history
@@quixak7209 Don't forget Potential History.
Best WW2 historian out there in my opinion
This is a top quality documentary and I am certain Mr. Felton would be the first to agree with that. History Channel has injured it's reputation badly with all the alien/ufo garbage they air all too frequently. What's worse is that since ads drive what gets produced and aired, and given that ratings drive ads, it seems apparent that more people want to watch the garbage than genuine history which might teach them something. It's a sad statement but it's true.

MacArthur's I shall return line is an understatement but the force he and his adversary brings to the Leyte Gulf, the largest modern naval combat of our history.
Actually General Walter Krueger contributed alot in winning the Battle Of Luzon and on defeating General Yamashita's 14th Area Army, Walter Krueger is the commander of the U.S 6th Army that had landed on Leyte and Lingayen Gulf.
Mcarthur is so overated. That man is a ego maniac.
@@alas2210 at least he won
I dont think so. McArthur was hellbent on reclaiming the Philippine islands at the expense of its eventual destruction. The Philippines could have been spared. US already had the upper hand, they could have chosen Formosa, now Taiwan. This idea was what almost all other generals wanted but McArthur and his ego would not allow this. He clammored FDR to go with his plan, or else, declining it would cost him the election saying that he abandoned the Philippines not only once but twice.

I live in Leyte, and sometimes, I sometimes go to MacArthur park in Palo because I am enticed, fascinated and intrigued by its history, The largest naval battle in history was fought there, as well as to just thank General MacArthur for liberating my country. There's a statue commemorating his return along with former Philippine president, Sergio Osmeña and some of his generals.
This is weird that you posted this because I've been in a WW2 kick lately, specially the Pacific theater thanks to World of Warships. I've been watching WW2 videos for a couple of weeks now. This is nice. Can't wait for more.
This is footage from a series that was on youtube years ago before they all got copyright struck.
What you're seeing are akin to breadcrumbs
Grandfather was there on the USS Birmingham helping the Princeton extinguish fires when it was attacked and set on fire. Lots of great stories at the breakfast table for years.
Talks about IJN Yamato and Musashi:
*Shows Fusō class battleships*
Tbf there is very little footage of the Yamato Class battleships
Admiral Nimitz and the Marines argued bypassing and isolating Japanese forces on the Philippines as part of island hopping strategy. General McArthur argued for the the invasion. President Roosevelt decided.
Still largely only a symbolic victory for Mcarthur since he left it to die to the japanese and promised to come back. Still to this it's a very controversial move by him. Many military leaders disagreed with this and surprising Mcarthur still won in the eyes of Roosevelt. I could look further into it, but i think it might had something to do with Public image of both Mcarthur and Roosevelt after they used Philippines falling to inspire Americans against the japan on top of pearl harbor.
True, Macarthur pitched in to Roosevelt the "moral obligation" to liberate Philippines. But some quarters especially the Navy thought it was self serving for Macarthur for glory, political significance and act of saving face to erase the memory of his woeful mishandling of the situation during the critical days at the beginning of the defense of Philippines. (During his Leyte Landing he actually had a press along with him to memorialize the event)
If Nimitz had his way, Philippines would have been bypassed in favor of Formosa (Taiwan) and Eastern China seaboard which basically acheives the same goal of cutting off Japan from its colonies and acquiring airbases to launch heavy bombers to attack the home islands.
As we all know, Macarthur had his way resulting in tens of thousands of American casualties, hundreds of thousands of Filipino deaths and Manila being reduced to rubble making it the second most devastated city in WWII behind Warsaw.
True about him having press with him on his landing. I had a great uncle who was on the same landing craft as Macarthur and, I heard this from my aunt who took care of him in his final years, those soldiers that where with him thought him pompous and a glory hog.
That well known photo of MacArthur wading ashore? Supposedly it's only a small part of a larger one that was cropped that has my great uncle in it.
Too bad mc Arthur didn't achieve its Presidential Dream
Anddd the 1st Marine Division at this point were badly exhausted and had already suffered many Casualties at a pointless battle called "The Battle Of Peleliu" which were one of the most brutal fightings of WW2 Took place which is the fightings at Bloody Nose Ridge. Peleliu were never used for its Strategic Area at all after its captured making the Battle pointless and just a waste of Human life and Quality Soldiers
This is awesome. When the history channel was actually about History!
“Let’s block people from seeing the full videos we made years ago, put out these shortened videos, and maybe people will think we made a new show.”-The “History” Channel.
Agree 100%
Come on history channel doesn’t have actual history on it anymore. All it is now is revisionist history and dramas that have little actual history in them.
@@tarn1135 History Channel is now a joke! Reality (fake reality) TV!
UA-cam probably has more historical videos than all of the History channel.
Oops someone's a snowflake
This is what the real HISTORY CHANNEL is all about☝❤
Wish somebody could make some sort of an accurate, comprehensive movie about this whole battle. The enormity of it and other major naval battles is just so incomprehensibly fascinating.
My father was there, LST26... returned home..watching him through the years, he was never home..he generally was lost in his own world..Ltjg Frank Fitch USCG..sure no one out there now would remember him..one great man..Eileen Fitch Douvarjo..b 1943
I agree. Midway and Pearl Harbor have both been overdone. This would be a fantastic film. Costly, but yet fantastic.
@@eileendouvarjo176 aw how did I not see this, my dad was USCG in the 80's even tho he was Canadian. USCG cutter Valiant.
Amazing that such massive heavy metal ships can stay afloat via the weight of water displacement fascinatingy
Iowa: What did I miss?
Yamato: Dont bother
Make History Channel great again
My grand grandmother witness the battle of layte she said they hide in the caves she's still alive today:D
Leyte*
My uncle said that my great grandmother and her siblings also hid in caves and they also killed a Imperial japanese soldier
Dont worry we will see naval battle between usa and china. hahaha
my great grandfather was not in leyte but he was also hiding in caves

Oct. 20, 1994.., 50th Anniv. of the historic Leyte Landing..,
I was there watching the re-enactment, not knowing the significance of the whole event.., thanx to Battle 360 series and History Channel for showing us history.
Watching here from Leyte.
With the situation going on with the west PHILIPPINE SEA, this is not too far to happen, and our sea will be once again be the battle ground and the witness of this crucial event
I hope you are wrong and that peace will prevail. I have to admit that you could be correct. I hope you and yours will be safe.
New videos need to come out I already watched every single videi
*Yamato* : y'all I'am the biggest battle ship!
*Aerial torpedoes* : I'am about to end this man whole career
the Yamato wasn't sunk until April of 45,that was her sister ship Musashi that was sunk during the battle

Today there is a monument dedicated for Gen. McArthur's arrival in Leyte, and I'm blessed to see it, Im living the neighbouring town😊
They don't make human beings like that anymore. Thank you!
this video helped me with a project at school
Bring this back! And Dogfights too!
The battle of midway
Is this 2007 or what?, when History channel was History Channel
mabuhay!
i liked it
Now this is Podracing!
Greetings from leyte didn't know our sea was a battle field at the time
The interest came back and now I'm in to these history videos. Then you're gonna bump with Wil in the comments.
We will REMEMBER our heroes. God bless them and thank you for protecting our freedom. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤👨✈️
Awesome
Why is this a part 1 thats only 6 minutes long?? Why not make it one big video??

Leyte gulf battle. The largest naval battle in the history of mankind.
I love history!
I wish they make movies on this
Great video
Musashi and Yamato were little more than floating hotels for Admirals. They were too expensive to run, with such tight fuel supplies. When were finally used it was a suicide mission, just really big kamikaze boats.
Mashashi was found beneath the phil.waters
Aircraft carriers made battleships obsolete. Now, it seems hypersonic missiles will render these highly expensive machines obsolete unless point defense would have a huge upgrade.
I have an elderly friend who was in the battle of Leyte Gulf.
Full episodes?
My Uncle, U W Todd was a Pvt in the Armies 38th infantry Div . He had served in New Guinea and he was sent to Leyte Gulf as a follow on wave of infantry. He won a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. The later cost him his life.
He was on a ship in Leyte Gulf on December 10th 1944 when the first organized, purposeful Kamikaze attack of WWII was launched against US force. His ship was hit and he was burned horribly. He died three days later and was buried at sea. I know he won a Bronze Star but don’t know why. many of his records burned in the early 70’s in the fire in (I think -St. Louis).
I never met him. It is terrifying to think of how he died though doubtless he was administered huge quantities of morphine- there was nothing else to be done. I remember him always but especially on Memorial Day
My grandfather fought in this battle, he got blown up by a torpedo hitting the side of the ship he was on and developed a shaky hand all the way up until his passing at the fantastic age of 97.
I remember watching these shows when I was like 10 with Dad. By far the best way to visualize what was going on in ww2. We would record every episode and watch them when he came from work. Very cool and I wish they brought it back
❤
I didnt even know this was in history, and I am from southern leyte xD
Your lucky I have studied these battles for years, there are many exciting battles and storys in the Pacific to be discovered.
Jeep Cherokee same and I agree
I believe they already found the remnants of Musashi under leyte gulf.
mag aral ka kc ng history hehe
@@enriquelajara9339 Indeed it was found by the research team funded by the co-owner of microsoft.

MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
What happened to the full Battle 360 episodes?
Wouldve love to see this epic fight
Nice history 👍👌
Hi! Thanks for watching! Subscribe to never miss a new video!
Good always prevails over evil.
I saw Leyte, I'm a Filipino, I immediately click 😂
Am i the only one who mourned for the loss of this Legendary battleships? Yamato, Musashi, Nagato, Bismarck, Tirpitz, Hood, Prinz Eugene, ruled the sea on WW2. Too bad they are build to kill and destroy:(
Dai Nippon Teikoku...Banzai! 😂🇯🇵💣Boom💥
I remember watching these shows when I was a kid . I didn’t care about cartoons or anything like that. Now Im on my way to MEPS and hopefully become a sailor.
nice video!
This is what it means when they say Quality Vs. Quantity.
Sweet Celestia…. I forgot how awesome the History channel used to be….I barely remember the times when I’d be so excited for shows like Battle/Patton 360 and I think the title was the technology that changed WW1
When it comes to new computerized and high tech weapon freezing, ww2 equipments are very useful. Save them for that!
nice
As far as specs are concerned at the 1:48 mark it incorrectly claims that Musashi's beam was 172 ft. Multiple other sources claim it was 121ft. That's a big difference.
How big is the canon
They should make a movie about this starring tom hanks
My father's carrier the Bataan was there. He never said much about it.
128' beam on Yamato, not 172'
When you are an American WWII marine veteran,
And now your grandchild is a whale activist fighting Japanese boats against whale hunting.
Epic
Yamato
greatest battleship ❌
Perfect target practice for naval planes✅
I from the philippines i knew this in my history
My beloved homeland SAmar islands archiepelago Philippines
The PH has a very strategic location. Now even China is trying to seize their territories.
It's China so no surprises there
Thats why China kept on bullying PH and illegally seize scarborough from them. Even established a manmade military base there. US got so annoyed and revisted the US/PH defense treaty😂
I need the full documentary on this.
on amazon prime they have, i heard.
Yes. Yamato was the biggest ship of her time but it was greatly inferior to that of the iowa-class battleship which had more accurate guns quicker reloads and or muzzle velocity which means more damage better radar
Proof that bigger isn’t always better. The Yamato was the perfect sword while the Iowa was an average gun. The best sword is good, but nothing compares to the worst gun.
This is the reason why the Chinese, the Russians, and the Americans are now fighting over for their influence in the Philippines the country is a strategic place in the region
The battle of leyte gulf is the final...the biggest battle of naval history!
As a Filipino, i did not knew that almost all of the land here in Samar and Leyte were covered with coconut trees. Also, amazingly, that late former Pres. Osmeña had establish a new cabinet in Leyte. Although i live in Northern Samar, not Leyte, the place was an interesting place of the history of WW2 in the Philippines.
My cousin graduated in leyte
Uchuu Senkan Yamato!
Alphawolf 655 lol
very informative..🤫
Leyteneño here, gramps said there are still ammo shells under the leyte gulf and pictures of it are posted here in our local museum in ormoc.
After midway,, i wish they will make a holliwood movie film for this.
Why there's no movie about this??
who was the enemy you are talking about?
The Sakura Empire, with assist from Iron Blood (Crimson Axis) and using alien technology, will battle the Eagle Union and the Royal Navy for sea superiority.
AL huh? xD
Kaga and Akagi help the Aliens for the Cube but The Royal Navi Maids Stole the Black Cube xd
They talkin about azur lane that’s a navy anime basically
But then again their is girls und panzer so it was gonna happen eventually

Another shikikan i presume.

I've always been IMPRESSED with the Pair of Yamato battleships; the Musashi & the Yamato. They were the LARGEST Battleships EVER Produced. I've owned one of the LARGEST Plastic kit models of these ships in 1/250 scale with some Extra Cool goodies such as: Metal barrel guns, metal propellers, and a Laser-ecthed real wood adhesive main deck.....Just Way Cool!! But here's the REAL Takeaway; building these 2 Literal monster's by the Japanese Naval Command was a Complete Waste of Money, Materiel, & Manpower. They were BOTH SUNK inside of their 5 year build dates by Carrier based US Naval warplanes!!! Any & All of their Massive armour could not withstand the Aerial bombardment nor the Torpedo strikes that they were Subjected too. So, all-in-all, because of just how Valuable they were to the Japanese Admiralty, both ships were primarily KEPT OUT OF MOST ACTION to "Preserve & Protect" them!! But in the end they were BOTH found and Destroyed. Hitler took the same attitude towards Bismarck's sister ship, the Tirpitz.....but she was also sunk...at her ANCHORAGE!!
See the you tube video on finding the Battleship Musashi and the analysis of the wreckage.
Sa Leyte gulf pala nawasak ang battle ship Yamato Po?
I love battleships
the battle would have been more bloody if yamato or musashi encountered the iowa.
Hey they already had to fight the Johnston they couldn't handle anyone else
thanks for saving are land american mabuhay
I hope hollywood will make a movie.
I'm from Leyte.
wow
Largest naval battle in History!
