Interesting Fact: The sinking of the Shinano by USS Archerfish was initially dismissed by the US Navy and not given credit to the captain and the crew. It wasn’t until after the war when Japanese documents confirmed Shinano’s sinking that Archerfish was awarded.
Yes. They also did not believe Japan's industrial output could construct such a behemoth aircraft carrier, especially at this point in the war with the deteriorating state of affairs for them.
Yukikaze was present for the loss of something like half the Japanese capital ship force: she was at Midway, First Guadalcanal, Philippine Sea, Leyte Gulf and the retreat to Japan from it, Shinano’s only voyage, and Ten-Go. That means that her killcount includes AT LEAST Shokaku, Taiho, Hiyo, all three Yamatos, and half the Kongos. If you count Midway and Leyte Gulf as a whole, she was also present for the losses of the rest of the original Kido Butai and both Fusos.
@@bkjeong4302 She even actually managed to score a few kills on ships which were actually on the enemy side, either sinking or helping to sink the destroyers Cushing, Laffey, Gwin, and Johnston and the submarine Perch, and damaging the light cruiser Leander so badly with a torpedo hit, she could not be repaired in time to take further part in WW2, and was permanently decommissioned from the New Zealand navy.
Shinano I find tricky to play, its main planes seem to be the AP skip bombers but the auto recommend captain skills suggests torpedoes would be more effective. Compounding all this is it suffers the same problem as Kaga, the planes having a lower HP pool compared to its same tier peers
Here's a fact about the CO of USS Archerfish, Joseph Enright - he was a second-timer in command. He was the first CO of USS Dace, but that submarine's first patrol was unproductive. Claiming responsibility for that patrol, he asked to be relieved of command, which was granted, and he was assigned at the Midway base on administrative duties. But after a half year, he requested for that rare "second chance" to command a submarine. It was granted, and the sub was USS Archerfish.
Since we have Amatsukaze as a premium ship on WOW Blitz, it would be epic to see Captain Hara's legendary destroyer in the main PC version of the game.
(I wrote this before finished the video base on my pure knowledge just to say, also a question for war gaming in the end as well) Due to Shinano’s rushed construction most sea trials was not complete, and below deck water compartments with no test trails, Archfish’s torpedoes were able to punch big holes in those rushed structures due to how weak they were. The blows were fatal to the giant carrier and it would ultimately cause a catastrophic flood which results in its sinking. Even the USA high command didn’t believe the captain of the Archfish when they heard that the small sub sunk what was the largest warship possible at its time. It was only till after the war ended they realized what the crew of the small sub have accomplished. A question to world of warships officials: when will you make second Japanese air craft carrier line? Would love to see Akagi, Taiho, Unryu class and etc. also a second British carrier line where the British carriers ain’t actually so bad please 😅like you guys must know how bad of a state the tech tree British carriers are in at the moment is a pain XD)
Very suprising Japan didn’t give it a Lee robust escort screen. Yes they suffered mass shortage of Scott’s but they still had well over 100 destroyer class vessels and numerous destroyer escorts
as an update WG should fix 5 superdreadnoughts that are already in the game in the tech tree, so no premiums, theses ships would be the following, HMS Orion, HMS Iron Duke, SMS kaiser, SMS König, SMS Bayern. they will need to remake each models from the start, following each ship with historical accuracy from when each ship was last seen (in service) Iron Duke could be the 1920 configuration, and the rest would be 1918
Did we get a price in steel for how much the Shinano will be after the steel event? I don't have enough for it right now, but may do when the event is over.
I own the book about Shinano, co-written by the very skipper who torpedoed her, much was speculation, as to the Japanese perspective, however an engrossing read nonetheless. Seasons greetings!
I just realized(As soon as someone point it out) That Yukikaze has been almost in any F---KING BATTLES, The famous and infamous ones, I feel like she's a walking grim reaper that whoever she escorts just get sink immediately but not her so basically... Gojo Satoru but as a Ship? Blud literally has like what Luck like it's Infinity around her that protects her from anything and the only thing that killed this ship is by being scrapped. WHAT THE F--K BRUH (Also, this is irrelevant, Why you have to put Mighty in Shinano's name, BLUDS gonna get cooked in the comments section again like Yamato or Musashi bruh)
@dogeetrue most obese and worthless, fixed that for you. IJN would have been better off just scrapping all of the Yamatos to build more Taihos or submarines but their pride at their worthless "spirit of the empire" ships kept them from seeing how all they were good for was wasting oil.
Nice two new over powered ships in the classes we all hate .. all the normal surface ship players get to enjoy more planes and subs we can’t fight against

"Escorted by experienced destroyers, Isokaze, Yukikaze ..." Say no more, you know your ship is doomed when Yukikaze is escorting you.
Isokaze attempted to signal Yukikaze the presence of Archerfish, but she didn't get the message
Yukikaze-sama is a lucky ship. That luck does not extend to her friends however.

Yukikaze be like :D throughout her entire career
Japanese: “We’ll build it bigger!”
American Subs with improved torpedoes: “Hippity Hippity, your ship is now my property.”
Hoppity
Who would win: Largest Japanese Carrier in WWII or One fishy boi
Surprising result indeed
@worldofwarshipsofficialchannel lol😂
"unsinkable" is always associated with something catastrophic
Ah yes, the good old white haired fox from AL.
What about Taihou and Albacore then?
I knew someone would mention Azur Lane
Outdone by the lil star eyed tanned gyaru of a submarine
Isn't her a cat ? ! !
@@THB1945 she is a Kitsune duh
Listens intently
Also amazing transition at 1:39!!
Real.
I recognize that pf pic
Funfact: While trying to get into firing position, Archerfish nearly crashed into one of Shinano's escort.
It makes me think, how many ships were called unsinkable and then sunk on their first voyage
Like titanic
Shinano I find tricky to play, its main planes seem to be the AP skip bombers but the auto recommend captain skills suggests torpedoes would be more effective. Compounding all this is it suffers the same problem as Kaga, the planes having a lower HP pool compared to its same tier peers
アーチャーフィッシュが撃沈した信濃は艤装もロクに無い半完成状態だった…加えて航行に不慣れな乗員ばかりだったのでアーチャーフィッシュは運が良かっただけ。
It was brave and honestly i think Shinano was unlucky.
@@parkertitle1923 その時、信濃の艦長が駆逐艦の経験があるだけｗｗｗ
We will find shinano one day when they discover it
I wonder why Balao is the tech tree sub and Gato is the premium ship, even though Balao was the improvement over Gato

A yes, calling your ship unsinkable is probably the best way to ensure it sinks on its first voyage
Love this clips !!! Thank you!!!!
Th Goliath, that was blind, and could not move XD
Uma pena o USS Midway não ter sido comissionado mais cedo. Uma batalha entre ela e o Shinano seria bem épico, dois dos primeiros super porta aviões.
Accurate gameplay of SS go hunting for CV instead of being a part of the fleet
Very suprising Japan didn’t give it a Lee robust escort screen. Yes they suffered mass shortage of Scott’s but they still had well over 100 destroyer class vessels and numerous destroyer escorts
Great video !
Nice, absolutely exciting about Shinano would it get
To be honest, I wouldn't have believed this either.

She needs to be added to wows blitz
Next video idea : Battles of Elli and Lemnos 1912-1913
Hope Archerfish has more torps than the other American destroyers in wow, give it a quick reload boost, and it could be really unique.
So why was the sinking of USS Wasp the most devastating torpedo attack compared to this?
People spend millions to search Titanic but not ships like Shinano 😢
Did we get a price in steel for how much the Shinano will be after the steel event?
I don't have enough for it right now, but may do when the event is over.
shood be same as fdr
I wish somebody finds Shinano's wreck

Nice, only one more Yamato to go

Shinano already playable at World Of Warships?
If you have the steel.
She's in the "Steel Will" event section of the Armory, for now.
But the event won't last forever.
@@libraeotequever3pointoh95it’s going to be a permanent addition to the steel ship inventory after the event, along with archerfish.
Kind of rude to make this video to promote the game since it's nothing like reality
Hoping for episode of yukikaze
please repair wiki site
Wiki site is long dead
Need to find her corps then
More like the USS Archerfish and the glorified aircraft transport Shinano. 😅
glorified u-boat vs the most beautiful and powerful aircraft transport of her time
INCOMPLETE aircraft transport at that.
@dogeetrue most obese and worthless, fixed that for you. IJN would have been better off just scrapping all of the Yamatos to build more Taihos or submarines but their pride at their worthless "spirit of the empire" ships kept them from seeing how all they were good for was wasting oil.

A good player would learn how to fight all ship types.
It is a challenge accepted situation.
@@libraeotequever3pointoh95 Exactly.
Day 1 of asking for submarines in wows legends
When a tiny fish destroyed Goliath
but (in real life) the Goliath was totally ill-prepared
Devs, we need more sub models of all countries, France, Italy and Spain are missing! Well done with the Archerfish btw.
