Some more points of interest. JFK's crew 'acquired' a 37mm Anti-tank cannon to mount on their boat. They found it to be effective enough to replace it with the 37mm autocannon from an Aircobra fighter. Which THAT proved so effective it became standard armament for every PT boat afterwards.
There's also the fact that the natives who rescued JFK were actually invited to his inauguration, but the island authorities decided that they were not "appropriate" enough and straight-up prevented them from going. It rather irks me off

I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
The rescue of JFK and crew was entirly down to one Australian Coastwatcher Reg Evans and two Solomon Islander men, their job was to operate behind Japanese lines and report on enemy troop and naval movements by SW radio. He watched the sinking at night and sent two of his Solomon Islander men to investigate, they returned with the coconut and Reg passed the co ordinates on. Reg survived the war, so JFK entertained and thanked Reg personaly at the White House. Coastwatchers were spread across the Pacific and operated in secret until after the war. A total of 33 Australian and 22 Islander people Coastwatchers were killed by the Japanese. US Admiral of the Fleet, William F. Halsey, World War II "The Coastwatchers saved Guadalcanal, and Guadalcanal saved the South Pacific".
Amagiri was the head of a column of four Japanese destroyers, Amagiri, Hagikaze, Arashi and Shigure. Hagikaze, Arashi, and Shigure opened fire on "two burning torpedo boats", which was just the halves of PT-109. Tameichi Hara was the captain of Shigure and wrote about the encounter in his book "Japanese Destroyer Captain".
information from wikipedia: PT-109 was an 80-foot Elco PT boat (patrol torpedo boat) last commanded by Lieutenant (junior grade) John F. Kennedy, future United States president, in the Solomon Islands campaign of the Pacific theater during World War II. Kennedy's actions in saving his surviving crew after PT-109 was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer earned him several commendations and made him a war hero. Back problems stemming from the incident required months of hospitalization at Chelsea Naval Hospital and plagued him the rest of his life. Kennedy's postwar campaigns for elected office referred often to his service on PT-109.
In March 2015, in Tokyo, the "JFK: His life and legacy" exhibition was held, where Caroline Kennedy, JFK's daughter, and Kazuko Hanami, wife of the captain of the destroyer that collided with the boat, met and confirmed the partnership between Japan and the U.S. At the exhibition, a letter sent by JFK to Captain Hanami in 1953 and a photograph of him with a handwritten message "To Captain Hanami, late enemy and present friend" were displayed. The two had been corresponding, and letters of encouragement were sent from Captain Hanami and former crew members of the destroyer when JFK ran for president. This was featured in the official magazine "American View" of the U.S. Embassy in Japan.
Very touching moments for the late president. It's sad to see he was assassinated in such a way, but also good to see how he had always been a good leader, leading his men out of miseries and tragedies. His speech scenes in the story are all tear-inspiring. Thank you so much for the story, not to mention the resemblance of his look really bring it to the point!
It pisses me off to no end. JFK Did so much for our country. Only to be betrayed by his very own country, by the most corrupted officials... Had JFK lived on and not be assassinated?! Our country would be a paradise! Or at least the most ideal Nation in the world. But alas! We are now a laughingstock of a shell of a nation...(Sorry for the rant. But I needed to vent it all out.)
By this time, it had been discovered by the submarine service that the torpedoes were defective. At Pearl Harbor the navy would modify torpedoes as they came for service on the submarines. The PTs continued to use defective torpedoes throughout the war, only getting the replacement torpedoes near the end of the war.
I can’t tell you guys how much this page means to me. It brings back nostalgia from watching battle 360 on the history channel when I was home sick from school in the early 2000s. You guys encapsulate everything there is to love about history in a beautiful way.
I knew that JFK had been a PT boat captain during WW2, but wow, I had never heard the full story! One story I still want to see here is about Danilo Marques Moura, a Brazilian pilot who was shot down and seriously injured in 1945, but decided to walk through Italy to the nearest Brazilian air base, almost 400km away.
The Solomon Islander that found Kennedy named his son after him and then his son did the same thing. I seen an interview with them both on a die wreck channel on YT. True story
During JFK’s inauguration there was a parade that included a PT boat painted to look like PT 109; many of the surviving crew “manned the boat” as part of the celebration

I enlisted in the Navy before HS graduation in 1976. And, in fact I was a good swimmer, yet had to sign an affidavit testifying as such. Nevertheless, all including myself of about 75 men in Company 334 @ Orlando were instructed in basic swimming, treading water & drown-proofing techniques. I recall about 7 or 10% had to march in the evening after classes & drills & report to the Swimming Pool for remedial lessons. I don't remember if the remedial class rejoined as a whole company for the advanced drown-proofing lessons; the hardest requirement being to have enough confidence & skill to not panic.
I cannot begin to describe the satisfaction i felt for all the hard work you put in this video Yarnhub, well done. As always you outdid yourself. I really loved the perspective of the soon-to-be 35th president of the United States and the occational shift into the Japanese perspective. Kennedy proved himself to be a real soldier and man when he saved his men and those marines, may he rest in peace🫡.
Loved the Comic Book Treatment. Also, whilst in the US Navy JFK suffered an injury in the back. This often gave him troubles after the war. Later on, in the early '60s an Indian Doctor by the name of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy who was able to treat him successfully. Also, Dr. Roy was somewhat a Doctor with a legendary reputation and happaned to be the first chief minister of the Indian State of West Bengal. Thank You.
This is one of my favourite warstories. I saw a documentary once where a relative of Kennedy visited the islands where this happened and talked to inhabitants and people who remembered this incident. Great documentary.
The voices have come a long way! They feel like movies! Also, requesting a story (sometime) on Heinrich Severloh, the german soldier who killed around a thousand Americans on Omaha, and later became friends with an American Chaplain who was shot 3 times on that very same beach, possibly from Severloh's own MG.
Much has been made in the media of Kennedy the hero who was the perfect commander and knew everything. But some of his crew told a different story about that time.
Anyone who manages to get T-boned by a destroyer obviously was not the best commander... I still can't wrap my head around this blunder. Did they forget they had a rudder? An engine?
Saved by one many island Coast watchers and natives who chose to remain behind and observe enemy activity.Code named Ferdinand after the Disney cartoon about a bull who sat among the flowers and refused to fight.Capture would have meant certain torture and cruel death hence Coast watchers were to remain silent and invisible in the jungles and report everything they saw and assist any allied (US and Australian) personnel in need. JFK was only one of many. His daughter is now the current US ambassador to Australia and hopefully will be for some time.
I'm sitting in the basement at my workplace waiting for the tornadoes to blow by here in the Omaha area but at least I got a interesting video to watch while I wait.
At the time of presidential campaign for JFK, Time wrongly reported the name of IJN's destroyer that sunk JFK's PT boat was Sweet Chestnut, but actually Heavenly Mist (Amagiri in Japanese).
The fatal connection between Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy. Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846, and Kennedy in 1946. Lincoln was elected president in 1860 , and Kennedy in 1960. Both were shot in the head. Both were shot on Friday. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary - Lincoln. Lincoln and Kennedy's successors bore the surname Johnson. Lincoln was assassinated at the Kennedy Theater. Kennedy was killed in a Lincoln car. The killer Booth escaped from the theater and was captured in the attic. The killer Oswald escaped from the attic and was arrested at the theater. 🤟🏼😎🇮🇳
The Bofors 40 mm gun has a rate of fire of 120-160 rounds per minute (rpm) per barrel, depending on the speed at which four-round clips are loaded. The practical rate of fire is closer to 80-100 rpm because the rounds are fed into the breech from clips that need to be replaced manually. The rate of fire increases slightly when the barrels are closer to the horizon because gravity helps feed the top-mounted magazine. So yarnhub pls change :D
I've loved Yarnhub for years and am so thankful for all that you make, but recently I've been missing the classic narration verses the added voice lines. Some voice acting is fine, but in the recent videos it's almost overdone and a bit cheesy. Maybe it's going for a different audience, but I prefer the Yarnhub narrated videos the best.
We take that on board. We think the lines really add value in such films as Midway from the Japanese perspective. We're still working out what is optimum.
I got a story for you, my great uncle was in the 94th division. He was a supply guard during the last days in Europe before Germany surrendered he and a squad of his men went out to shoot some since they had use their rifle and Boot Camp. When they were shooting the cans about seven or eight, Germans came out the woods screaming don’t shoot. I have six kids. They don’t know who was more surprised the Germans were the Americans one guy in the squad actually went his pants. So they took the Germans prisoner and marched them back to base they were congratulated for capturing the Germans. They were also chewed out for going out like that. They never did it again again.
Hello from romulus Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventures through time and history thank you again brother
Ok, this is a relatively minor thing, but this error has showed up before and will continue to do so as long as you're making ww2 stuff. The animation for the 40mm Bofors gun is completely wrong. It does not just blaze away like a normal machine gun, it fires slowly. (about 120 rpm) Each barrel recoils quite a lot each time it fires, usually fired in alternating sequence for multiple mounts. There's plenty of archival footage for this, or you could use your sponsor War Thunder as reference for your animators. The shells it fires are quite large, so they're good candidates for slow mo bullet shots you like to do. I know this is a nitpick, but Yarnhub has shown a consistent ability to improve and I hope this is one thing that you do improve.
Fun fact: it’s irrelevant if the torpedoes hit or not. The specific version of torpedo those boats were using was ineffective. There was a design flaw in them that prevented detonation in the vast majority of cases, so any torpedoes that may have hit the ship certainly did not significant damage.
Several years ago i saw a documentary where some researchers were looking for the PT109 wreckage,They did find engines,torpedo tubes and other pieces in the area where pt109 sank,it couldnt be confirmed as PT 109 but still an interesting find
Nice, but i think that the WW2 was not just about the Pacific Front, but also Eastern Front. There are more events and battles that you could use in your videos, like the battle of Reichstag or battle of Narvik. I appreciate your work guys anyway♥
To be fair the pacific was never shown like this before , it’s always just taught as Pearl Harbor and the Bombs, while Europe had all the coverage including the East
the most perfectly placed war thunder ad ive ever seen lol I was just thinking, man I miss ripping the lil boats around in war thunder, god damn perfection o7
These videoes never mention the part the Coastwatchers play in the stories. Those natives were scouts for a Coastwatcher called Arther Evans who behind Japanese lines located and orchestrated the rescue of Kennedy and his crew. Of the original 67 Coastwatchers at the outbreak of the war the Japanese hunted down and killed 30. It was a dangerous job and they shouldn't be overlooked.
If this is about torpedo boats, uncle Zimmermann was a bow gunner (20mm) on an S boat. Yeah the S boats were better, and bigger, and had the "Lurrsen" effect built into the rear hull ,for better seakeeping. If this is about JFK, he was one of the greatest US presidents I care to remember, and don't think we'll see another one as good as he.-TY.
"It doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts." -Word! And I bet it would make point-2 past light speed, plus Jack probably made a few modifications himself. When the crew arrived Jack told them, "We're in a bit of a rush so if you'll get on board, we'll get going." 😆

The shells it fires are quite large, so they're good candidates for slow mo bullet shots you like to do. I know this is a nitpick, but Yarnhub has shown a consistent ability to improve and I hope this is one thing that you do improve.
I am not surprised that PT-109 ignited so rapidly & hot. These boats had twin Packard V-12 engines that burned aviation fuel (gasoline/petrol).
Bofors 40mm firing so fast? 0:46... dunno bout that... Maybe this was some fast firing variant but the ones i've seen aren't that fast shootin'
Fun fact: it’s irrelevant if the torpedoes hit or not. The specific version of torpedo those boats were using was ineffective. There was a design flaw in them that prevented detonation in the vast majority of cases, so any torpedoes that may have hit the ship certainly did not significant damage.
Spongebob: and that's how JKL was born! 😁
10:34 why he got that mcarthur drip
JFK had a good sense of style well into his presidential days
Several years ago i saw a documentary where some researchers were looking for the PT109 wreckage,They did find engines,torpedo tubes and other pieces in the area where pt109 sank,it couldnt be confirmed as PT 109 but still an interesting find
Sank is the past tense of sink, just an fyi sunk is the past participle
Just so you know, nobody gives a shit
Dawg the movie trailers are so hype! Feels like I gotta go to a theater to watch this one! Can’t wait🔥🔥🔥
I like your videos when they are in French speak I speak French I am proud because you also put the audio in French
your talented team deserves every dollar..every sub..every thumbs up, for the hellacious fantastic content..nobody does history of war action better..
"I don't know, but Jack Kennedy seems to be a rather incompetent officer. He allows his ship to be run over by a destroyer and runs out of gas.
Caution has never been a trait associated with the Kennedys'.
He couldnt see the destroyer due to heavy fog
From a captain to Commander in Chief... That's one heck of a promotion!
They don’t make presidents like that anymore
The voice actors are getting better and better
Nice, but i think that the WW2 was not just about the Pacific Front, but also Eastern Front. There are more events and battles that you could use in your videos, like the battle of Reichstag or battle of Narvik. I appreciate your work guys anyway♥
To be fair the pacific was never shown like this before , it’s always just taught as Pearl Harbor and the Bombs, while Europe had all the coverage including the East
They have made quite a few video on the eastern front. They just seem very focused on the pacific lately.
You guys should make a movie, the quality is outstanding. 👍
Rest in Peace Mr. President and thank you for your service!
was it not john f kennedy who had the pt 109 or am i missing something
Jack is a nickname for John
the most perfectly placed war thunder ad ive ever seen lol I was just thinking, man I miss ripping the lil boats around in war thunder, god damn perfection o7
Thx for french voice Nice vidéo 😁 !
These videoes never mention the part the Coastwatchers play in the stories. Those natives were scouts for a Coastwatcher called Arther Evans who behind Japanese lines located and orchestrated the rescue of Kennedy and his crew. Of the original 67 Coastwatchers at the outbreak of the war the Japanese hunted down and killed 30. It was a dangerous job and they shouldn't be overlooked.
Jack Kennedy?!?
If I’m not mistaken, Jack is a nickname for John. Jack Lemmon for instance was born John Uhler Lemmon III.
He was often called jack
Yarnhub do one about the B26 Meauder FLAK-BAIT it has an amazing story and holds records. Please consider.
Looks great
16:08 How does dude know the whole speech already?

If this is about torpedo boats, uncle Zimmermann was a bow gunner (20mm) on an S boat. Yeah the S boats were better, and bigger, and had the "Lurrsen" effect built into the rear hull ,for better seakeeping.
If this is about JFK, he was one of the greatest US presidents I care to remember, and don't think we'll see another one as good as he.-TY.
why was he calling him jack, when his name is john?
Things things are becoming more and more movie-like by the video
Again, y’all make stuff way better than Hollywood at this point
Fellas, Kennedy had a strong Boston accent...really miss that. Entertaining, but the proper voice over would've made this 5 star.
This guy is pretty cool! I wonder if he could have a career in politics. Who will ever know?!
Jacky should have his iconic accent voiceover
This video is great keep up the great vids
This is the same ship type, which the Black Lagoon Company uses.
Great Manga
Best vids I ever watch
"It doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts."
-Word! And I bet it would make point-2 past light speed, plus Jack probably made a few modifications himself. When the crew arrived Jack told them, "We're in a bit of a rush so if you'll get on board, we'll get going." 😆
These animations get better with every video!
Excellent quality improvements all round, and you still retain the humour and atmosphere of the channel. Well done!
Como demorei tanto tempo pra conhecer este canal 😲
If it was not for your vids I wouldn't know the band stabaton thank you for your services on YT!
