At a period of time when the Kiwis were under real threat of Japanese enslavement all those longshoremen at NZ on strike should have all been imprisoned and not let out for years.
I sympathize with your point of view. However, if that had been done (even assuming that it was legally possible), who would have been available to do the loading and unloading of ships. Maybe it seems as though all you’d need would be a strong back, but actually it’s a skill set.
When Nimitz was court martialed for grounding the Decatur and found guilty, but he was given a letter of admonishment and his future commanding officers hardly even noticed.
@@just_one_opinion Slavery was institutionalized by the time the first civilizations emerged (such as Sumer in Mesopotamia, which dates back as far as 3500 BC). Slavery features in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi
@just_one_opinion Congratulations! You win today's internet Darwin award. You are now a proud member of the flat earth society, moon landing deniers and chem trail acolytes.
@@just_one_opinion Slavery was far from a British invention, but they were the first to abolish it and fought world wide to end it. On the other hand Africans kept selling their brothers to the Muslim slave traders.
Yeah And didn’t turn around and head back at the sub Japanese had the most advanced and effective torpedoes They could have exported them to fellow Axis power Germany And the Brits and Yanks - weren’t it for the minor fact that they were at war 😅
From Wiki: "Ghormley was chosen for the command on the recommendations of Admiral Chester Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief, United States Pacific Fleet, and Admiral King. It is possible that he was appointed to the position over other commanders with superior carrier and aviation expertise and experience because of his association with President Roosevelt." He was over his head in all of this. Nimitz eventually sent him packing and replaced him with Halsey...
@@billk8817 It is a shame that King hated Fletcher I thought considering the situation, he did better than he probably should have and even though you can't help but admire Halsey, he messed up multiple times and thank god he wasn't in charge at Midway.

Imagine the efficiency American subs would have had if they had torpedoes that work at the beginning of the work.
If wishes were fishes….no pun intended.
Japan would probably make development of ASW equipment and tactics their highest priority so it wouldn’t be a complete blockade by wars end
Excellent picture of the challenges and characters facing them.

@@simonstuddert-kennedy8854 I was being factious, it just blew my mind they would strike at such a time
Doing my part for the algorithm 👍
Me too !
@@Jim_maco every post helps 👍
Great history account!

The cavity magnetron was a British invention and was a major advance that helped to win the battle of the Atlantic too !
so was slavery

@@just_one_opinionNot even close to being true. Slavery has been around since the dawn of civilization. Try again with the white hate.

So we turned cross talking into limited linked communication... speeding up our ability to Yeet Hate at an enemy...

Ghormly was weak willed and not a leader!!
His problem was that he was not a combat leader. There were many senior officers at the start of the war that proved to be inadequate for the job.

3/4 of this episode is was full filler.
Yes, the filler that fills in the gaps in other tellings of the stories.
2 hours of a battle can generate 1000's of hours from various perspectives.
