The naval battle of Guadalcanal was brutal and terrifying. I recalled one US sailor saying there’s no foxhole on the ocean. When the shooting starts, there’s no place to hide.
And imagine if you were below decks as a boiler operator or something. You knew if the ship went down, you were going down with it... Imagine the balls those guys had.
The sole survivor policy was enacted to me. My father died in Afghanistan. When I graduated high school I was set to enlist but before then they told me that most likely I would not see combat since I’m the last male in my family.
How did you feel about that? And I'm sorry for the loss of your father
Plen122 honestly kinda mixed. My mother didn’t want me to go out to combat but really the intention was to go out there. I ended up joining the army and went into a non combat role.
I know a guy the opposite happened, he was a Marine and his son was also, his son was killed they sent him home early. I am very sorry for your loss.
its amazing to me how they made that a thing, knowing that the future of the bloodline must survive.
There is no actual good video documentaries on this battle.
The stories of it are legendary. Japanese destroyers Yuudachi gained a legendary title, Amatsukaze captained by Tamiechi Hara were awarded invaluable experience, and Yukikaze survived another fierce engagement.
Atlanta lost her main admiral from friendly fire. The Sullivans brothers were all regrettably killed. And all the fighting was so close, ships came in FEET of each other. Laffey demonstrates true heroism by ripping apart Battleship Hiei’s decks.
So many important ships would sink in this little-known battle. Never before and never again would there be an engagement as intense, knife-fighty, and visceral as this.
Warrior Poetry! Outstanding account 👍!
I enjoyed reading and learning from your comment. Do you know of any good books on the Naval battles of Pacific theater??
The next night battleships USS Washington and USS South Dakota and their escorts met two Japanese battleships and their escorts south of Savo Island. In that slug fest Washington shot up one battleship to junk but South Dakota was seriously damaged in the battle. The Japanese ultimately scuttled both battleships and they are now part of Iron Bottom Sound.
@@dkstryker Robert Ballard The Lost Ships of Guadalcanal
dkstryker Neptune’s Inferno is a great read
From what I understand the Sullivan brothers (God bless them all and may they rest in peace ) where not the only sets of brothers on the Jeneau. I say this NOT to lessen the impact of there loss but to highlight the loss of so many other families that also lost more than one son on the ship. GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF THEM.
I miss this history channel 😔
Facts
Me too!!!
Very sorry man 😔
Facts
Yes for sure I never missed an episode
No cellphone No laptops No wifi just ordinary people killing each other
And it's gud
1st LT. Rob Atkinson Gret comment. And for what??? The sun keeps coming g up in the east! What a waste.
@@davewilliams5102
Are you saying the allies shouldn't have fought back and instead just let the axis powers take over the world???
That's the "for what".
@@lordgarion514 yes
My father was one of those observing Marines. They thought we had kicked butt.
God bless your father for serving. My grandfather served as Chaplin on a ship, But not sure which one.
What was your fathers name? My grandpa and him might have been friends. My grandpa was Donald A Lunt U.S Navy
Well, there's two more days of this battle, including the Cactus Airforce and dive bombers from the Enterprise using Henderson Field.
The two Admirals killed were Daniel Callaghan and Norman Scott. Admiral Scott was killed by friendly fire from Callaghan's ship. Both were posthumously awarded the Navy version of the MOH.
Brave Souls...R.I.P😔
Every ship the Japanese sunk, the US could replace and then some. The same was not true in reverse. Thank you to those brave men who served. Your courage and sacrifice is not forgotten.
3:11 The basis concept of Saving Private Ryan.
History Channel went from this to “What do you want for this stop sign...?”
Land or sea, no amount of skill or fitness will save you from a lucky random artillery hit.
Hard fighting that needed to be done
Robert Johnson I thought the same for years but have doubts now. Who cares who won that battle?? Did they all die in vain??
Dave Williams Henderson field would’ve given the Japanese the chance to sink our remaining carriers.
@@davewilliams5102 The Marines stationed on Guadalcanal cared. As do their descendants who were almost never born.
the good news we wiped out the Japanese Fleet the bad news they sank us. We lost four heavy cruisers and 10 destroyers and the Japanese lost two battleships, a heavy cruiser, and 9 destroyers. The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal was bloody there was no victor both sides suffered heavy losses and only the US got a strategic victory.
Aaron Peavler/Geomodelrailroader Railroad Photography I know Hiei sunk the next morning but I believe Kirishima actually survived.
@@snowykaze nope she sank Washington raked her decks and she went down 24 hours later.
Aaron Peavler/Geomodelrailroader Railroad Photography I see. Only Kongo and Haruna left then.
If you look on the web, there is an analysis of the Kirishima's battle damage in PDF format. 20 hits from Washington's big guns.
Mike Spangler ouch. Rip.
Us rescue team: Sir we have found some Japanese survivors
Leader of that team:*pulls out a Thompson* and shoots the Japanese survivors.
well they were WORSE with us prisoners. See: Bataan death march
The amount of sailors that died in one night is much higher than the entire marines casualties in whole guadalcanal campaign. Imagine that.
Finally, i've been waiting for years for a new ps2 game!

This animation is over 15 years old. So i would say it looks pretty good for its time.
I thought recommended videos are supposed to be 6 years old with 25m views?
Finally some good recommendation by yt
I like no drama I like these. Shorter clips
My job was loading the guns deep in the ship. nowhere to run. One way out.
The ugly side of human nature 😥
The biggest side
I don't agree........for the most part humanity has been a peaceful species till provoked
@@bullsboat1 Pax Americana, since WWII. (See Pax Romana)
my dad lost his heavy cruiser there swimmmed all night , got stories to tell but who wants to hear them
onlythewise Great comment. No one cares who won. What a waste.
Me actually. Meet me for drinks...
Is this where the phrase "Friday the 13th" comes from? 😂
November Friday the 13th, 1942- November Friday the 13th, 2020. 78 years ago to the exact day
Not iron bottom sound.. I hope SpongeBob is safe!
I’ve been there it’s nuts
Sadly. Or all of the Sullivan brothers died from the sinking of the ship, they died awaiting rescue but that would be an interesting what if scenario
Sad but Cracking clip! Cheers
I recall the film, The Fighting Sullivans.
Takin' notes.
It really irks Americans to mention the Royal Australian Navy at Savo and Guadalcanal.
2:51 well that wasn’t necessary they could have kept them as hostages
I guess they killed them as a revenge for their fallen comrades
@@AdmiralBun make scenes
True! They also only were soldiers who did what their country said.
1:56 LAFFEY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Watch you now. Download this video.
The night scenes are too dark. Can't see a thing. And pronunciation: "dawn" has a "w" in it, it's not "don", "caught" has an "aw" sound in the middle, it's not "cot"
The Internet Pronunciation Police are out tonight.
AndrewVelonis OMG!! A grammar policeman. Get a life you loser.
This is back when the history channel identified as the super straight 🦸🥒
Please cover the next night. Halsey sent two battleships into the confining waters of 'the slot'. At one point the only thing stopping a bombardment on the airfield was USS Washington with its 'radar understanding' admiral Lee. The Kirishima had reports of cruisers not battleships. Well they were educated soon after targets were cleared and firing commenced from her 16" guns , radar guided. Let's just say, no shore bombardment of marines occured that night. Also, thank admiral Lee and Capt Glenn for avoiding long lances from the departing IJN.
Give us more
Who is the enemy and who is good
American Eagle. Meditate on Your statement! It's Not Rocket Science¥
Rear Admiral Callahan's first night on the job (command) after being a staff officer and political aid to the President.
if only we had radar fire control and proximity fuses too. as well as advanced radar, good intelligence, and the navajo code.
and damage control.
I slept on the ship named after those men. I believe it is still in Buffalo...but it was a long time ago as a boy scout
No step on drunk bunny
That didn't tell me "how" of anything. Typical HC
