IJN Shinano was a 72,000 ton aircraft carrier, built and converted from the third Yamato hull that had been on hold since December 1940. She was sunk during her move from Yokosuka to Kure to complete fitting out and training up her crew. She was only 10 days in commission when she was sunk by Archerfish.
Poor design, and untrained crew, missing or inoperable damage control equipment and missing or open watertight door doomed her when Afish put 4 torpedoes into her hull.
It took years to discover that Shinano existed, let alone was sunk by the USS Archerfish. TO date, she is the largest warship ever to have been sunk by a submarine.
in typical fashion Naval Intelligence (sic) claimed there was no such ship despite information saying that the IJN had been building a third Yamato Class battleship. Instead of thinking out side the box and realizing that they had decided to instead complete it as a carrier they simply said it never existed. YEARS later they finally admitted it. There is a reason you find no intelligence in Naval Intelligence
It is titled battleship because Shannon was converted from a battleship hull into a carrier maintaining the same name.
He was hit in the head by TWO fifty caliber rounds and HE STILL HAD A HEAD?
Hard to believe. A lot of bullet energy must have been absorbed before they hit him.
Amazing story of that pilot's struggle to survive.
You are doing great
The video title should say "Carrier" where it says "Battleship."
To be fair it's hull was a battle ship then it was turned into a aircraft carrier.
@@dmclegg66And then it was turned into an artificial reef and home for local fish. :P
@@TexasSpectreamazingly it’s one of the wrecks that has never been found. And nobody really has any idea where it might be beyond “somewhere off Japan”
@@andrewtaylor940 There hasn't been a lot of interest in finding it as it didn't actually do anything but consume resources and get sunk - and there's been a persistent rumor that some unnamed expedition found it decades back and there wasn't much left. Never confirmed and apparently nobody cares enough to go search for it since.
It's a text to voice channel that reads books and articles.
Is this the actor who stars in the old spice ads? Good Call!
Hi, any way to find out the names of these books? Or at least the names of the people writing their memoirs? I’d love to look up the name of the writer and read more about them.
Never mind it’s mentioned at the end: Saburo Sakai is the pilot
Gambier bay
An impressive tale but the story is a generation wasted by the missteps and misdeeds of the various governments.
Nobody does aircraft carriers like the USA 😊
The ads arrive every few minutes. Thanks for nothing.
