I just noticed something..... I think that line of ships was actually a line of American 1910s and 1920s Dreadnought-era battleships. The turret on the lead ship looks like the New Mexico class' turret face. And some ships in the line look like they still have lattice masts, which was a primarily American thing. The ships right behind it have the 2 16 inch gun turrets of the Colorado class battleship.

I don’t think India would’ve liked it under Japanese occupation. The food btw went to the british people working to stop the war and the british and colonial armies.

First clip is just amazing, we have super carriers and other modern ships yeah, but there is something about battleships that still remain the most intimidating badass class of ships to have sailed the 7 seas
Yeah, thanks Sweden, for making torpedoes for the germans that took countless allied lives. Not to mention that you kept exporting iron ore to the germans throughout the war that they could use to build more weapons. You weren't neutral. You were the nazis that got away.
As a child I met a Scottish stoker fishing in the local harbour who served on HMS Hood before it was re-commissioned - he was not reinstated to the ship, lucky. My grandmother also took a photo of the Hood in Sydney Harbour in 1924 which I still have.

I never met him, but I look at the one photo we have of him every remembrance day, and think of him and of my grandparents who lost their first son, and my dad who lost his big brother.

The hedgehogs replaced traditional depthcharges and were much more effective. They were fired at a distance of up to 250m and would fall quickly deep in the water giving no time for the Uboat to maneuver. They used a contact fuse and would only explode on impact. A single hedgehog exploding directly against a uboat was enough to sink it.
Outstanding footage. There is nothing like seeing Nelson and a bunch of Queen Elizabeth class BBs in the same formation. The hedgehog really helped end the happy time for U boats.

The power Britain during the world wars is actually fucking mind blowing. Such a tiny country, with such a mighty military. Remember that the Royal Navy was still the largest and most fearsome navy in history and was only overtaken by the US in like 1944. Like you can understand the USSR and the USA being superpowers, or having been superpowers in the case of the USSR. Because they’re huge. It almost seems obvious. Then there’s just this tiny island that conquered and controlled half the world somehow and was a superpower for like 300 years. Insane.
The depth charges at 2:30 is known as the 'Hedgehogs'. Hedgehog is one badass weapon against the UBoats and no submarine is known to survive from a direct hit by it.

I salute and honour him and all the soldiers who fought and died in this terrible war. War is hell. Love and Compassion are our greatest strengths and gifts. We are coming into an age where that will be most evident. There's incredible strength in Unity not in division, hatred, war and violence. P .S. Please be loving, kind, compassionate and respectful to each other and all other living beings.
No one gives a fuck about your great grandfather there is nothing great about Great Britain. You guys were fucking colonisers you looted so many countries.
If by battlewagons you mean battleships then, no. There was a substantial force of battleships stationed as convoy escorts, even more so as more and more of the kreigsmarine’s capital units were placed in norway
The British used battlewagons on convoy runs sometimes. But, the hunt for Bismarck and tirpitz took up a lot of the battle lines time. The U.S. had battleships in the north Atlantic, but nowhere on the same scale as in the pacific. Mostly older pearl harbor salvaged ships, as their appetite for bunker oil made them inefficient for the vast distances of the pacific. Also their cruising speed was about the same as someone riding a bike. But, for the most part, it was the tin cans escorting the convoys. The USS Washington went to the Atlantic for her shakedown cruise to help with the Tirpitz. I belive the Showboat, USS. South Carolina also went there first after her shakedown, before both being sent to the pacific theater of operations.
@Robert Bents The Battle of the Atlantic is the overarching strategic campaign where Germany tried to cut off resources from North America from being delivered to Great Britain and prevent further convoys from reaching Russia from Great Britain. The Battle of the Denmark Strait is one rare surface engagement in this long campaign.
@Robert Bents If it comes down to ciws "Than cic has let the entire crew down and this piece of crap along with a few chaff and flares is it only hope. That system goes through ammo faster than a 10 yr old eating halloween candy. Ageis adavance yes, its design as an air tracking system which is integrated with other land sea and air platforms. but like any other system it has problems al which I'm not going to mention. . Laser are only on a few ships and its still mainly for testing purposes, their not really worth an honorable at this moment in time. The lost of life would be drastically less, we would just drop precision base bombs on hitler bases encampment, base off intel which wouldnt be hard to get considering his public presence throughout most of the war
0:27 is like: Germans: "There is no air Force to protect them. Let's surface and attack them" *Seeing depth charge airplanes coming* Germans:"hell nah we're diving"
Love how these videos always turn into a USA no UK no USA is better threads. Lets be honest. Both sides had their secrets. But we shared technology. We shared land and bases. We still do. We shared information. We shared codes. We shared codebreaking. We shared our science. We shared the war. America wouldn't have been in the war if Churchill didn't play the US hand, and we wouldn't have seen the war if USA never stepped in. That doesn't discredit either individual nations efforts. Its just means we worked fucking outstanding as a team. Simples.
At 00:37 the Tirpitz hiding in a Norwegian Fjiord is recieving direct hits from RAF Lancaster bombers dropping Tallboys (Earthquake bombs ) from 15,000 feet (nearly 3 miles )
My great grandfather used to tell me some stories, one of them is when of when the germans used "oil bombs" against the fleet, saw 20 odd of his crew mates burn to death while he held the bulk head open, fulll 1/4 of his body severely scared from the burns, said he saw peoples skin stick to the door as they rushed to lower deck, he went on to live his life in peace & the most gentle man I've ever met given the horrors he went through. God bless the generation that gave us a future of freedom & peace. ❤
Honestly terrifying and completely bonkers. Drifting in a huge ocean with no land even remotely close to you, only to go out and kill or die and be chugged up by the waves.
Some people don’t realise but the battle of the Atlantic wasn’t really one battle it was a theatre of war its several battles with the likes of Denmark strait, the final battle of the bismarck the battle of river plate and many more
Interesting images many are very well known and often used in documentaries over the years but in monochrome, these have been colourised which gives them a very different appearance, more modern and makes the war seem less distant. If I had a choice as to what task to perform in WW 2 my very last choice would have been U-Boat crew. The thought of being trapped in a sinking submarine waiting for it to be crushed is just too horrible.
The Scene at 2:40 is feels weirdly uncomfortable. Something about how the AA Gunner doesnt stop shooting until the entire Boat is blasted with ammunition makes the footage a bit too real to watch it without having to think about it
That "weird uncomfortableness" is due to the knowledge that young men at that very moment were being torn limb from limb, and their shredded remains blown across the surface of the Atlantic. War is not an "exciting adventure".... War is shit, never believe otherwise.
Also, he had to put all he had into that sub because that sub represents thousands of tonnage of supplies being sent to the bottom as soon as it spots any merchant shipping.

Thanks for the info. I was about to ask. Luckily I was searching it through the comments. :-)

with a lot of casualties from allies haha
2:30 I’ve rewatched this part soooo many times
Just like in the Battleship movie 😆
Sad they dropped it these days
Took me 8 months to realize the words in my comment were straight up out of order 🙃😂
poor germans btw
Awesome footage and brilliant sound editing. RIP to all those who fought and died in the long, hard and cold Battle of the Atlantic.
My great grandfather, Captain Ernest Edward Brightman of the Royal Navy fought in many of these battles during WW2. I can't imagine what he must have seen. I salute and honour him and all the soldiers who fought and died in this terrible war. War is hell. Love and Compassion are our greatest strengths and gifts. We are coming into an age where that will be most evident. There's incredible strength in Unity not in division, hatred, war and violence.
P .S. Please be loving, kind, compassionate and respectful to each other and all other living beings.
No one gives a fuck about your great grandfather there is nothing great about Great Britain. You guys were fucking colonisers you looted so many countries.
My dad was on the North Atlantic convoy runs with the Canadian Navy.. If I recall correctly Battle Wagons weren't on those runs.
Photoguy64 The Battle of the Atlantic included a lot more than just a bunch of convoys being shot at by subs my guy...
Photoguy64
If by battlewagons you mean battleships then, no. There was a substantial force of battleships stationed as convoy escorts, even more so as more and more of the kreigsmarine’s capital units were placed in norway
The British used battlewagons on convoy runs sometimes. But, the hunt for Bismarck and tirpitz took up a lot of the battle lines time. The U.S. had battleships in the north Atlantic, but nowhere on the same scale as in the pacific. Mostly older pearl harbor salvaged ships, as their appetite for bunker oil made them inefficient for the vast distances of the pacific. Also their cruising speed was about the same as someone riding a bike. But, for the most part, it was the tin cans escorting the convoys. The USS Washington went to the Atlantic for her shakedown cruise to help with the Tirpitz. I belive the Showboat, USS. South Carolina also went there first after her shakedown, before both being sent to the pacific theater of operations.
@Robert Bents The Battle of the Atlantic is the overarching strategic campaign where Germany tried to cut off resources from North America from being delivered to Great Britain and prevent further convoys from reaching Russia from Great Britain. The Battle of the Denmark Strait is one rare surface engagement in this long campaign.
The longest and arguably most important battle of WW2... it's so crazy to see
Imagine it happens in this modern day. It is Fvcking scary due to advanced weapons of the different country.
its actually less scarier, most weapons are precision base which means less casualties, pilots can eject now
Imagine KGV battleships or HMS Vanguard combined modern tech with big guns, these ships will be near enough invincible
@Robert Bents If it comes down to ciws "Than cic has let the entire crew down and this piece of crap along with a few chaff and flares is it only hope. That system goes through ammo faster than a 10 yr old eating halloween candy. Ageis adavance yes, its design as an air tracking system which is integrated with other land sea and air platforms. but like any other system it has problems al which I'm not going to mention. . Laser are only on a few ships and its still mainly for testing purposes, their not really worth an honorable at this moment in time. The lost of life would be drastically less, we would just drop precision base bombs on hitler bases encampment, base off intel which wouldnt be hard to get considering his public presence throughout most of the war
@@JayHawke84 Nope. Speed.

We just watched the last moment of tens, if not hundreds of people. God bless their souls, on both sides.🙏🏼
Possibly thousands
Nothing will ever come close to the intimidation factor brought on by a battleship, NOTHING
Not even a Ten thousand metre long Warship Hanging over your head aiming It's weapons at you
2:22 it's just Thor's hammer....wait...whatttt !
0:27 is like:
Germans: "There is no air Force to protect them. Let's surface and attack them"
*Seeing depth charge airplanes coming*
Germans:"hell nah we're diving"
Love how these videos always turn into a USA no UK no USA is better threads.
Lets be honest. Both sides had their secrets. But we shared technology. We shared land and bases. We still do.
We shared information. We shared codes. We shared codebreaking. We shared our science. We shared the war.
America wouldn't have been in the war if Churchill didn't play the US hand, and we wouldn't have seen the war if USA never stepped in.
That doesn't discredit either individual nations efforts.
Its just means we worked fucking outstanding as a team.
Simples.
and UK sucks after two great war

Realy a nice footage you made it even great adding background music great job
Thanks for the camera crew 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The cameraman was like I have to record this cuz he knew this would be popular after a decades
Its so amazing to think that, Britain an small nation kept its reputation as a top notch navy that still rule the waves🇬🇧🇬🇧
It didn't. No one outside the UK thinks of it as a naval power anymore.
@@Peanutcat im not British. They clearly still are, they have two very advanced aircraft carriers
@@Peanutcat I bet they will change their mind when a trident 2 missile lands on them

Why you so butthurt??
At 00:37 the Tirpitz hiding in a Norwegian Fjiord is recieving direct hits from RAF Lancaster bombers dropping Tallboys (Earthquake bombs ) from 15,000 feet (nearly 3 miles )
It's crazy to think WW2 happened less than a century agi. It hasn't been that long
Looks so fascinating but the horror terror fear of loss of life behind this is unimaginable
1:52 Seems the plane scene in Greyhound movie was inspired by this footage.
We're so lucky not to live in those times. R.I.P too all Seaman
I killed my seamen every saturday in front of computer
0:10 the nose dive and the front of the ship looks so badass
thousands of tons being played by water, water is such a powerful force
This battleship formation is simply...Beautiful
The ships look soooo complex and seems like everything fits well
This is cool, but imagine all those lives lost. Imagine dying trapped on a ship...
How to survive ww3 when Iran launches a nuclear bomb
Be the camera man
Iran don't have a nuclear bomb, so we'll all survive
USA HAS over 7000 nukes all over the world
War is about to consume/taken territory, people , golds....nuclear war will be the end of all humanity !
How about China?
Nice joke 👍
My great grandfather used to tell me some stories, one of them is when of when the germans used "oil bombs" against the fleet, saw 20 odd of his crew mates burn to death while he held the bulk head open, fulll 1/4 of his body severely scared from the burns, said he saw peoples skin stick to the door as they rushed to lower deck, he went on to live his life in peace & the most gentle man I've ever met given the horrors he went through.
God bless the generation that gave us a future of freedom & peace. ❤
Honestly terrifying and completely bonkers. Drifting in a huge ocean with no land even remotely close to you, only to go out and kill or die and be chugged up by the waves.
Some people don’t realise but the battle of the Atlantic wasn’t really one battle it was a theatre of war its several battles with the likes of Denmark strait, the final battle of the bismarck the battle of river plate and many more
Now im really understand why my great grand father wouldnt talk about the war
He work as a steward on different boats between 1939-1945
Warship porn. Don't ever take this down.
Salute to all the men who lost their lives for their nation...
Love From India 🇮🇳...🖖
I still can't believe how much modernized that weaponry was for the 1940s. And to think that all of it is even more advanced these days.
Ik someone who fought in this war, pretty scary for him bc he was on a life or death situation, sadly he didn't survive, RIP Friend❤️
When I look at those mighty Royal Navy ships during the first 30 seconds, I can see where Star Wars got the idea for the Imperial Star Destroyer.
Great Britain's battleship formation was too awesome!!!!
Awesome video, good footage wish it was longer.
R.I.P to all those who fought for selfish and greedy men
Great to see a shot of HMS Rodney. Seems to be so little footage of this beast.
Interesting images many are very well known and often used in documentaries over the years but in monochrome, these have been colourised which gives them a very different appearance, more modern and makes the war seem less distant. If I had a choice as to what task to perform in WW 2 my very last choice would have been U-Boat crew. The thought of being trapped in a sinking submarine waiting for it to be crushed is just too horrible.
The boys 🏴🇬🇧
The Scene at 2:40 is feels weirdly uncomfortable. Something about how the AA Gunner doesnt stop shooting until the entire Boat is blasted with ammunition makes the footage a bit too real to watch it without having to think about it
That "weird uncomfortableness" is due to the knowledge that young men at that very moment were being torn limb from limb, and their shredded remains blown across the surface of the Atlantic. War is not an "exciting adventure".... War is shit, never believe otherwise.
Also, he had to put all he had into that sub because that sub represents thousands of tonnage of supplies being sent to the bottom as soon as it spots any merchant shipping.
20:30 ...I remember those bomb launching same on BATTLESHIP 2012 Taylor Kitsch....in a modern version...from one of aLien ships
Awesome. Riviting. Eye-opening. Frightening.
its so exciting to see the ww3 in 4k resolution, real full colors haha ..
imagine that lot cruising up the Straights in the gulf no-one would be messing with our tankers then!!!!!
2:51 THAT'S THE POLISH FLAG :OD ! Also: some shots contain entire contemporary Royal Navy.
Piotr Dudała That’s Japanese I think
@Piotr Dudala it's the flag of Imperial Japan.
When you mention it... it looked like white banner was predominantly on top and I didn't recognize the vessel.
Im bloody british and my grandfather was 31 years old and he was the XO of the captain of the hood

Stupid boy!
No more war, we want peaceful plant. Look how beautiful it is and how many beautiful people are living. Long live humanity
Peace is a lie
These sailors truly know what it means to be alive.
mannnn...... all this shit I seen, the cameraman still safe without any mark... he going back home and show to his wife how awesome the footage he take
Lol nice joke but in reality, sadly, those cameramen might never make it...
Those British battleships at the beginning...💪💪💪
That is some advanced war ships for 1940s! Incredible
The most important battle of the war yet pretty forgotten
Nobody would have had to die if he had listened to his heart.
my grandma can tell enough stories about the Gustloff
What do you mean?
Wilhelm Glustoff? I know this ship...
Heart deceives, listen to your brain, it is the only friend.
One of the masterpieces was "the Bismarck against the Royal Navy and Air Force."...
Something i just noticed, the video starts with big lines of battleships and fleet, guns firring etc. And it ends with all out submarine warfare.
This feeling when you're amazed and terrified
Back then, the battleships are way more menacing tahn today
These battleships look more powerful then modern ships
Intense! Thanks for the upload
0:10 that nose dive was epic, and the music made the entire thing eye/ear porn
