Thanks for your patience guys (especially those who have been asking for this story). If my experience is worth anything, the first part usually takes longer than the second!
In the interim, however, this week I am taking my family on a much-needed trip to visit the relatives. Part 2 is in the making!
- Luke
Watching this video, I can’t help thinking of the times I visited the Sea War Museum Jutland, have you ever been there?
The narrative style, and the graphic style of this video would fit right in telling some of the stories they tell there!
One of them, of course, being The Battle of Jutland!
Right next door to the Sea War Museum Jutland are one of Europes largest war memorials, a park that opened on the 100th anniversary of the battle.
The museum itself is focused on WW1, but there has been talking about making it bigger and incorporating WW2 as well.
Personally I’m a bit torn on that issue, because I fear it can take something away from the experience.
I love how the museum is so focused on the very specific way naval warfare was during WW1 and the location, at the coast of where this massive and dreadful naval battle happened is so unique!
Oh, and if you ever get to visit the museum, there’s another museum not that far from it, with another war story worth narrating, is told.
Perhaps for a Christmas Special!
It’s the "Strandingsmuseum St. George", who tells the story of the stranding of the HMS St. George, (and the HMS Defence), one fatal Christmas night at the coast of Denmark.
From the HMS St. George only 12 out of 738 survived.
From the HMS Defence only 14 out of 597 survived!
On the same night, further down the west coast, (near Texel, Holland), the UK lost HMS Hero and HMS Grasshopper, and the five transport/merchant ships they were escorting.
Bringing the total of lives lost that tragic night close to 2K….
Thanks Luke and don't worry take your time 🍻
Patience is a nice virtue, yes.
Oh, crud, this is just Part One?
I don't understand how some of them couldn't swim I mean no disrespect just curious I thought you had to know how to swim especially in the navy
@@mecahhannah
No high demands back then.
In fact, some sailors believed that those who were good swimmers had the worst chance of survival.
A belief that was caused by hearing stories about sailors who would rip off clothes and attempting to swim to a lifeboat or debris floating in the water and then die quicker due to hypothermia.
Today safety equipment is much better, and most navies has a higher minimum you have to be able to swim!
The story of the Indianapolis is truly a horrific tale, those poor men endured a particularly cruel form of hell for 5 days.
As a kid I saw the movie jaws and I remember Quinn telling the story about being a survivor of the sinking of the Indianapolis. The part where he talks about the sharks black eyes looking dead like a dolls eyes before they roll back as they come in to attack. Still creeps me out.
It’s infuriating that the distress call was ignored.
🐿 I concur
Indeed…not only that, but several protocols were ignored…like not giving them an escort as their command as “sure” the ship wouldn’t encounter any enemy subs…so many mistakes were made it almost feels like they weren’t mistakes…
@@ULTIMATZEKROM mistakes were made? Or a sacrifice was given. Seems a bit convenient that so many higher upside ignored the same thing and then with, "whelp, golly gosh, guess they must have been reassigned and told no one and we got no word from higher, dum de dum." Yeah, mistakes.
@@jacobvreeland6147 That's what I meant by it feels like the mistakes made weren't mistakes at all. It all seems very sus...
I just love the fact it is stated here that it was ignored. The common belief, even now, is that one wasn't sent...
It was. It was just ignored.
One of my grandpa's war buddies told a story about Vietnam. He was a radio relay station operator, his primary job was to relay messages between attack positions and rear command. One night he received a distress call from a forward unit begging for assistance. While relaying back to command the assistance call went silent, eerily silent. Command asked for confirmation...his Sargent said let it go we can't help them now. He has never been able to forget that experience.
My grandfather has a similar experience as a pilot.
I don’t remember whether it was in the Korean War or Vietnam, but he was supposed to find a group of Marines on land.
I asked him what happened to the Marines and all he said was, that terrible things happened back then during that time.
I’m sorry I’m so vague on the details, it’s been a while since I heard this experience of his
I cannot even imagine being in that situation. God Bless your Grandfather, all involved, and everyone who selflessly listens to orders and knowingly puts themselves into harms way when asked to do so.
Vietnam was really bad for that stuff jungle warfare is frightening. It was very different for us when I was in Iraq. We feared IEDS most. Everything we encountered including road trash we greatly feared. Lots of us still have a phobia of things next to the road still. The power of those ieds was on anouther level
@@prestonhanson501 thanks for serving
@ButtSauce666 was my pleasure. But you know i feel bad for the new soldiers. Can you immagin being in the army now with Joe and General white rage running the show? Leaving behind Americans in afganistan and the incompetent exit that got lots of guys killed for nothing? It's no surprise to me our Recruit numbers are at rock bottom. You can't preach anti American crap and expect people to wanna serve the country. And the woke weakness being implemented in the military will only make us more weak amd pathetic. And cernatly will get people killed. Bad times in America and I don't see it getting better. The elite totaly own this country. Untill the deep state is destroyed and laws get changed we will never get better. Take care
The more I think about the Indianapolis, the Scorpion, and the Thresher, I don't think there's any way to die in the Fleet without describing it as "supremely horrifying."
Having spent time on various ships and complaining about it endlessly, this story made me uncomfortably aware of how much worse it could be.
I can’t imagine the fear these men must have experienced. And as we all know, it only gets worse from here.
Absolute stuff of nightmares. I first heard about this story several years before I knew what PTSD was - and I remember thinking “how could the survivors EVER be ok??” 😭
I mean, you could be standing in the main magazine when it detonates. Killed instantly, no pain, no time to be scared. There, then gone.
@@randomlyentertaining8287 True, but turning into red mist is still pretty horrific. lol
And these disasters are more reasons for me not wanting to become a sailor if not a Navy man.
One of my best friends dad was on the Indianapolis. He came to our school one Veterans day back in the 70s and gave a talk about it. He was a very, kind, soft spoken man. His name was Lowell Dean Cox. It was absolutely above and beyond horrible what the suffered thru. God bless you Lowell, RIP
I live in Indianapolis and walk by the memorial a lot. I'll say a prayer for him next time I go
One of the best yet. I’ve heard this story since I was 6 years old, it always moves me when I hear it again. May God have mercy on those poor men.
Having 2 uncles that served in the Navy during WWII, and myself at Pearl Harbor during Peacetime, this really hits my heart hard. I can't lie, I am struggling to not be angry at those commanders, all safe at home, blatantly ignoring the distress call simply because they could not get a confirmation message. 😡😡Great story though, looking forward to part 2.
It's why I don't care for the military. NOT the people who serve and served but the soulless bastards who treat people like you and and your family and my relatives who served like nothing. Just pawns in a game ready to be sacrificed. 🤦
Thank you for your service. 🤘
Aaaaargh I want it now!!!! I hate waiting. I'm on pins and needles for part 2. Great work as always!! I'm a retired U.S. Army soldier and my Grandfather was a pilot in WW2. His plane was shot down and the falling engine somehow landed in his lap as he was falling before he could get his chute open. It crushed and burned his legs severely.He was captured and tortured on Guam before being freed by U.S. marines. They beat his burned and broken legs with poles and shoved bamboo chutes under his nails. Other things to horrible to mention here. He finally walked again... eventually. I'll be it with a cane for the rest of his life. His wife of 60+ years had to sleep in another bedroom for much of those years because his night terrors would cause him to scream and flail so bad he'd hit her and she could never sleep. He's at peace now....since 2005. He is my hero!!! RIP Grandpa. Glenn W. Holmes U.S.N. Retired.
The Navy tried to put me into a tin can, otherwise known as a submarine. No way.
Albeit
Thank you for your service sir and the great sacrifice of your grandparents! Grandpa a true hero & his support system, your grandmother. 🇺🇸🙏🏻
As a Coast Guard veteran, I'd love to see you do a video on Douglas A. Munro, the only CG MOH recipient, earned during Guadalcanal.
My Great Uncle had a brother who was a survivor of the USS Indianapolis. He died in his 90s and always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. It’s incredible to think of what he went through and what he had to do to survive.
If your great uncle had a brother, that would mean that’s your great uncle too lmao
@@missym877 guess he didn’t get the brains
Really well done, and I hope part 2 also covers the injustice that was done to the Captain for several decades over the sinking.
My great grandfather who passed in 80s was on that ship, if I’m remembering right. My grandad told my Dad who told me that this messed him up so bad he had nightmares until the day he passed.
An outstanding presentation in every aspect.
I'm sure that almost anyone interested in military history will have a reasonable understanding of the USS Indianapolis story, however the fantastic writing, narration and artwork elevate this beyond anything I've ever seen before, (on the USS Indianapolis).
An awful and desperately sad story from start to finish.
It really does. I groaned seeing another USS Indianapolis breakdown. I thought I'd skip it since I've seen it done so many times. And yet this is far more engaging than any other video on the topic. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone unfamiliar with the topic over any other content creator
Have a great trip; the time off is well deserved!
This is also excellent timing with the end of Shark Week!
I'm not a big shark week watcher, but I couldn't help but notice the ads running on TV/youtube over the last couple weeks. Not something I planned for lol, so I cannot take credit for that.
Incidentally, a Canadian podcast host I spoke with recently wanted to talk to you. Forgot to mention that. Text/email me about that and I can put you in touch with him.
There was a Shark Week episode about the USS Indianapolis some years ago.
@@WartimeStories Nat Geo’s Shark week was much better. Discovery Channel is now garbage with all the celebs on there now. Nat Geo is much more science based and you actually learn about sharks. Oceanic white tips are a really interesting species that did all the damage in the Indianapolis tragedy.
I remember my Great Uncle talking a little about this when I was a kid and he didn't get to graphics about it but learning more as I got older my heart goes out to those who were lost. Rest in peace and God bless them all.
I knew you would do this story justice. The composition choice of having the water at eye level to show both vantage points is a powerful choice here and it looks amazing. Bravo.
I've known about this story, at least in bits and peices over the years, but never the full story. I'm glad to made this, video, and I'm looking forward to part 2. Hope you have a good trip.
Thanks Tom. I agree, this certainly wasn't a story I thought was unfamiliar to most folks, but I likewise didn't know much about it other than the obvious before starting it. I was somewhat surprised by the level of involvement the ship had in the war and the circumstances that lead up to the sinking. As with most stories I find myself working on, I felt like it became more than just a story about a ship sinking and men being attacked by sharks.
@@WartimeStories I've known about it for a while, but learned many new details, which means you did a lot of research. Thanks for the effort...well worth the wait.
@@WartimeStories
It was really great how you incorporated the part about how it came to be where it was that night!
Most of the stories I’ve seen on this incident primarily just covered what happened, and some sailors telling about what they went through, as part of larger documentaries about the war in the Pacific!
@@WartimeStories didn’t the Captain kill himself. I guess I’ll wait until part 2 but even the Japanese captain came to the U.S. to testify that there was no escaping his torpedo volley. Epic Story. Great Job
The memorial in Indianapolis is pretty neat. It has the full story and just a snippet of what happened with sharks. The full history of what the ship went through prior to that fateful night is great.
Amazing job telling this story . The water and island map was easy to understand and informative . This ship went through so much pure heroes. Such a tragic end . How did they not trust that the ship had sank .
Great, really great episode. Chills running down my spine, when i try to imagine what these men went through. I can scarcely imagine it. I've heard this story before, but it is a story worth repeating and remembering.
The ugliness and horror of war should always be remembered . Else we end up learning war the hard way.
@@scottblack7182 Agreed.
Do chills go down your spine when you imagine Hiroshima?
@@orangewarm1 If it doesnt it absolutely should ❤
You put so much detail and effort into each video! Thank you for sharing!
My mind can’t even begin to comprehend how frightening it must of been for those men! Literally a living nightmare!
I can't even imagine the amount of trauma this brings upon people who go through such a thing. God bless the soldiers who had to go through similar experiences, you all deserve so much more than you receive once back home. No-one deserves to be homeless, but the fact a vast majority are people who served, I think we have a huge issue in support and treatment after return.
This is disgusting and sickening to hear that 3 different ppl reported the sinking and those poor men still had to suffer like they did. How awful
A fascinating and sad story. I always wondered how higher ups delt with knowing what happened later to the ship and not being able to send a rescue mission.
Can't wait till PT. 2. Also loved the Jaws theme The Indianapolis story told Robert Shaw's character in Jaws still sends shivers down my spine to this day..
One of the best movie moments ever.
This is a truly interesting story, thank you for covering this. Keep up the great work!
Not even completed and it's already the best telling of the event I've seen.
I just wanted to say thank you for doing the "we'll be right back" thing instead of just going straight to an ad. It really helps keep the immersion of the story.
Was waiting for this ship to show up on the channel. Great work as always!
Really glad I stayed up tonight to get a new story 🙌
Another fantastic presentation from the producer of War Time Stories. This one in particular, should be an award winning film. Each one of us, past and present ,who has served in the US Navy/ Marine Corp ,can feel this story deep on ourselves. I hardly can wait for part 2. Superb job!!
My wife worked comms while in the Navy she said any time they received a distress call even if it wasn't confirmed, and someone seemed to not care about they would always tell the other person remember the Indianapolis.
Been waiting for this one! Time to pour me a nice glass of wine and enjoy the vid. Greetings from Japan ✌️
This was fantastic story telling and illustrations! Looking forward to the next part
I knew this was a terrible tragedy, so avoided watching until now. I can say your quality of the production is above and beyond previous work. The heavy stuff is, well heavy. So taking your time to get things how you want them was to be expected. When portraying the event itself, I had a very visceral feel to it.
That water visual was something else! The sinking scene was amazing. *Artistic chef's kiss
What a heart wrenching story! I appreciate how this channel details real history. Your story lines, and narration style draw me right into the action! I believe your stories would be useful to teach high school history classes! You present factual history in an engrossing manner!
All i can think of is Quint’s speech from “Jaws”.
Wartime Stories and Bedtime Stories are probably my two favourite channels in entire youtube. Thank you so much for ur hard work guys.
Thanks for the fresh upload, was just checking your channel yesterday for some new videos.
The fact the distress signal was ignored ticks me off a lot. It makes me think of how the ship SS Californian ignored the flares that were sent up in the air by the RMS Titanic when the ship began sinking. From what I’ve read, ships have a legal obligation to respond to a distress call.
Incredible video! One of the best so far! I can't wait for the rest of the story!
I was in Philadelphia yesterday and came across a Historical Marker for the Tun Tavern. I took a icture of it. I did not know it, but the Tun Tavern is recognized as the birthplace of The United States Marine Corps. The tavern no longer exists, but the marker was very interesting to me. If you would like a copy of that picture, just let me know how to get it to you as I cannot place it in a comment....
Like sooooo many other screenwriters before me, one of my very first efforts was a screenplay based on the USS Indianapolis (easily one of the top 10 most common spec script topics- the Demon Core incident being another from the same era) and I can’t tell you how badly I would have loved to have this video at my disposal. The research I did took over a year and didn’t include half of this information- granted, most of this info won’t make it in your story, but when you know this much about the backstory, the film just writes itself.
This is actually a 3 part series now! Ready to dive into this story.
Luke, you are doing amazing work with these videos. They are some of the most imersive storytelling I have ever seen.
Was glued from beginning to end... can't wait for Part Two!
Can't wait for part 2! I heard about the this story somewhere and glad your making a video about it
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes, and the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.
You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.
At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”
- Sam Quint
Excellent graphics and production quality there, Luke. Great job.
Thanks! Having spent a lot of time in the water myself, I admittedly might have gone a bit overboard with the effects on this one.
I couldn't agree more.
My grandmother's older brother was on the Indianapolis. His mother was told he went down with the ship in the initial sinking. It wasn't until after her death that a survivor told my grandmother and her sisters that he made it off the ship...and the sharks got him. Well done video. I am always happy to see more people become aware of the truth of Uncle Buddy's ship
Of all the military war story documentaries I’ve seen or heard of, this is the most depressing one.
You’re a great narrator, thanks for sharing your videos with us.
Quality content as usual amazing work
Animation has gotten better. Well done. RIP Indianapolis.
Bravo. You’ve really set the bar with this episode…and it’s high. Great Job ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Always waiting with baited breath for new stories and we are never disappointed. AMAZING!
Great, as usual. Keep it up, man.
Well done, love the intro enhancements! Impressive improvements all around
Awesome presentation reminds me of the stories my grandfather used to tell me while he was stationed at Fort Hunter Liggett in jolon California also had a neighbor stationed in fort ord who had some good stories thank you for the badass presentation
Fantastic, really great episode. Art work, animation superb. Look forwards to episode 2. Remember watching a film about this with Nicolas cage as the Captain. He got thrown under the bus by the navy. Only had his name cleared almost 60 years later by Bill Clinton.
This is phenomenal. You’re brilliant
My grandpa was on this ship. He ran away from home at 16 years old and lied about his age to join the military. One evening, my dad was watching some show on TV about the Indianapolis. He suddenly jumped up freaking out and called my aunt. He had just seen my grandpas photo on this ship. We knew he had been through something really awful, but we had no idea. He never spoke about it.
Later, when my grandpa got dementia he thought I was my grandma. He started telling me stories about what they went through. That was hard to hear, but he needed to get it out. He asked for my (grandmas) forgiveness for hurting her. He was distant and they ended up divorcing. I think his attitude was understandable considering. It felt good to be able to give him that closure. Even if it technically wasn't true because I'm not my grandma. Still, it seemed to help him.
I have no doubt you helped ease his soul, in a way a needed confession. My condolences for your loss.
Patiently waiting for Part #2!
I just love that the old intros back! And as always great story telling skills from you Luke!
Excellent story to tell thanks! Can’t wait for part 2
Sure missed you bro . Best episode so far love this channel
That was great! Are you doing a part 2,please?!
This is quality. Great work good sir, thank you and the best of success to you
I must commend you for taking on this particularly controversial and little addressed story. The Navy still doesn't handle this well. Had friends on the current Indy. They weren't officially allowed to even talk about it.
This was amazing great video I always enjoy them but this one has been my favorite so far I can't imagine what it was like to go through something like this Thank you to anyone else who did my heart goes out to you
I've heard this story before, but never like this. This is f____ing Terrifying.
YES!!! maritime horror/war stories are my favorite
I have been waiting for this story, as told by Wartime Stories.
This channel deserves many many more subscribers. It confuses me
Great telling of a tragic event,can't wait for part 2,any idea when it likely to Air please ?
Bro this is the best video I've ever seen. Solid job my Fellow Belleau.
I would just like to say, and i don't even know if this was intentional or not, but i really appreciate your pacing in this story. It starts like any other of your videos, deliberate and methodical, an even intonation with pauses after most sentences, but once the first torpedo strikes it's like a flurry of activity, you start talking faster and slightly more forcefully and it doesn't end until the moment of silence. It's a small detail that really adds to the immersion in the event, and emphasizes how fast all of it went straight to hell. You start to get a sense of the sheer panic many of the sailors probably felt, because you don't have time to fully process the gruesome details of one horrific thing before the next grisly scene is thrust upon you.
If it was intentional, it's brilliant. If it was not intentional, you clearly have a natural talent for storytelling!
Bro! I literally just watched a video on the USS Indianapolis just yesterday! Stay out of my head!
I bet none of you noticed this tiny detail. Of course, because I'm a huge nerd I did. At about 13:58 when the order to abandon ship is given you can clearly hear it. What I bet you don't know is where it came from. It is the same sound as the one from the 1958 Titanic movie "A night to remember". The captain shouts the order as the ship is beginning it's final plunge.
It sends shivers up and down my spine thinking what these poor men felt and thought in their minds as they were approaching death.
This yet again is criminaly under watched but yet again it is an outstanding piece of work 👏
This is superior storytelling and artwork! Your serious low voice is perfect for this style. Mickey Turcanu is incredibly talented!
When the boat sinks and we see it below the waves, I was like, wow! How do they make those animations?
I would really like to have a "behind the scenes" video with how the animations are done. Please!
Amazing job to all the team.
Thanks for doing this.
That damn Commodore is giving me the rage! Great video, as usual. Thank you.
So many of your stories told in such vivid detail of what service members went through are heartbreaking. I can't ever stop myself from bawling my eyes out hearing them. 😭
It was well worth the wait.
It really brings it home what people go through thank you
Excellent animation! Very enjoyable. You do quality work, sir.
Thanks Cindy
One hell of a story. Thank you ✌️
I liked
Shared
And enjoyed
WITH A HEAVY HEART
I really look forward to your uploads just as much as bedtime stories. I had subbed to you for a long while but finally watched one recently. Now I've seen almost all of your uploads.
Be encouraged, you are doing great!
Thanks!
Thank you for post this. My great uncle is Lieutenant Chuck (charles) Gwinn aka Angel of Indy may he R.I.P
Amazing video and storytelling. Very detailed. Looking forward to part 2. To think what those men lived through (and died through) all that time.
Quint couldn’t have told it better.
Actually Robert Shaw DID tell it better. Greatest monologue in movie history.
Very nice animation, this channel is getting nh better.
The USS Indy - best story ever. Loved Robert Shaw's famous portrayal of the story in Jaws.
The quality of this video is astounding
I knew a Indy survivor. I didn't realize it until after he was gone. He was a college fwb's grandad. Super great guy. She went with him to all the get togethers. It was surprising how many were still left ten years ago.
WOW can’t wait for pt 2!!!!
I was just listening to _The Book of Dangerous Animals_ by Gordon Grice and he mentions this incident in his chapter on sharks. At first they fed on the dead, but moved onto live prey. Not even men in lifeboats were safe: one man said the group huddled in one corner as a shark poked its head through the bottom of their raft. He said its eyes were like giant black plumbs, its teeth two to three inches. An astounding number of survivors had wounds from sharks (their sharp, serrated skin can rub off human flesh), I believe as many as two-thirds. Great video as always!
