I have so many good things to say about your videos… but it stands out that you don’t see too many pictures of battleship torpedo tubes like that!!! I know that sounds quirky but It’s cool to come across something I consider pretty rare after being a naval history/tech nerd for 45 years 😂… Thanks for the great content and the respect you show it and your community
Question, I’ve been editing Wikipedia recently, and have made significant edits to the pages of the destroyer Yukikaze and the aircraft carrier Zuikaku. I was wondering if maybe Skynea or any historians in the comments could check them out and give me some feedback? I’m also currently working on the Wiki pages of IJN Amatsukaze and USS Honolulu.
Ask John Parshall on the UA-cam channel Unauthorized Pacific war podcast he wrote Shattered Sword. I don’t think anyone knows more about the IJN than anyone.
You're wasting your time. Years ago I edited a couple of pages on firearms that contained factual errors, and eventually somebody over-wrote my edits and put more erroneous information on top of it. They also edited my pictures and took credit for them. Wikipedia would be a good source of information if only it wasn't a free-for-all where any idiot can change stuff.
Approximately 60 nautical miles just a little south of due east from Cape Henry VA.. Not in the Chesapeake Bay, but off the coast from the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
Approximately 60 nautical miles ESE of Cape Henry.(Between Cape Hatteras NC and Cape Henry VA) She's resting at almost 400ft deep - too deep for recreational diving.
Baltic operations were no longer necessary after November 1917 as the Bolsheviks sued for peace with Germany. Though some german forces including battleships supported Finland. Generally the two classes of hexagonal turred dreadnoughts were kept the furthest away from action as the least modern ships, so it is no surprise that she always turned up late

Billy Mitchell got the publicity he wanted in the form of a court martial

Drachnifel also knows a lot.

Has there been any surveys of wreck of the battleship?
oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/13midatlantic/logs/may27/may27.html
It is dived upon.
@@gohibniugoh1668at almost 400 ft deep, not by recreational divers, just experts.
@@erichammond9308 true, but divers routinely visit. Many videos have been posted.
Very good! Fascinating!
Point of very minor interest - the hexagonal turret arrangement was also referred to as a "Lozenge" or "Lozenge formation"
So how was the sinking of this ship any different then any of the target ships sunk by the Navy today?
Good video as always, how about an alternate history video of the 1919 Small Battleship study done by the U.S. Navy?
9:45 any idea what zeppelin that is in the background?
What the superstitious sailors would call an "unlucky" ship. A sad end to a ship that "could have been" a star in the High Seas Fleet.
Thanks 👍
Has anyone filmed this wreck?
i guess you cant blame a pretty lady for being fashionably late. she wanted to draw attention to her ridiculously extravagant wing turrets.
When you reference the shaft horsepower are you stating the power per shaft or for all shafts in total?
Total shaft horsepower all shafts combined.
I thought that ship was sunk in the Chesapeake bay?
Approximately 60 nautical miles just a little south of due east from Cape Henry VA.. Not in the Chesapeake Bay, but off the coast from the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
Where at sea is its wreck? Can and do divers visit the wreck?
