The USS Johnston (DD-557) was a Destroyer that basically sacrificed itself to the Japanese to protect a landing force by charging into a massive line of Japanese warships at the Battle off Samar and fought so hard and bravely before being sunk, that while sinking, survivors of the Johnston said they saw the Captain of the Japanese destroyer, Yukikaze, saluting the ship and its hands as it sunk in respect for how it fought to the end.
@@NoProtocol That's a very understated version of events, USS Johnston at around 2,500tons was the largest destroyer in the task group Taffy 3, the other four destroyer/destroyer escorts were about 1,000 tons lighter. The Japanese fleet they took on included the largest battleship ever built, IJN Yamato weighed almost 73,000 tons. There were three smaller battleships of 30 to 40,000 tons, six heavy cruisers of around 18,000 tons, two light cruisers, around 10,000 tons and eleven destroyers of around 2,500 tons. If the destroyers of Taffy 3 hadn't inflicted such a bloody nose to the Japanese fleet, instead of retreating, they would've sunk the small escort carriers of Taffy 3 and had free rein among the undefended US invasion fleet. When the USS Johnston was discovered in 2021, it was the deepest shipwreck ever found. 15 months later they found the USS Samuel B Roberts, another ship from Taffy 3 over 1,000ft deeper. Btw, the Captain of USS Johnston, Ernest E Evans, was the first Native American awarded the Medal of Honor. (I left the U out of honour as a mark of respect to our US friends.
I went to look it up, wondering where it was and what it would be like to go through such a tunnel, only to realize I've actually taken the train through it twice in the past. It's just a few dozen KM away from where I currently live. Cost over $7 billion to make over 20 years ago. Quite the project.
Working as a Ocean Engineer for the Naval Sea Systems Command in RDT&E I've spent a lot of time thinking a working with the ocean environment, I have learned a few things. When a team of scientists (having only seen lakes) show up from a lab in the middle of the country with their latest and greatest military device to test in the operational environment. The look on their faces when I tell them don't bring it on the boat unless they are willing to lose it and for sure don't put it in the water until they fully understand it's likely to never come back. The ocean is big and dynamic and if an object has mass they ocean can and will eat it. I've put big things on the seafloor and taken careful measurements to know the location. Only to return in a week to realize 10 of tons of equipment has vanished.
One important detail about Cameron's dive is that the diving bell could not be reused. The diving unit used going to the Titanic was poorly built and even a well built sub should not have dived to that depth more than three times. The USS Johnstown was a destroyer in WWII that saw much action, but was sunk by the Japanese 140 people (survived) were rescued by the US ships, 186 died.
The Trieste Batyscaphe was actually launched before James Cameron was :P He was born in 1954, the Trieste was launch a year before. It reached Challenger Deep in 1960, when Cameron was still building sand castles and splashing in inflatable pools...
James Cameron went down there in the Deepsea Challenger, there was a cool documentary on it. I don’t know much about Trieste Batyscaphe, it is now out of commission?
You are obviously highly intelligent. As a quinquagenerian i have to say that you are the image of how people used to envision the Internet would be used to gain knowledge. A platform for higher learning that would uplift mankind to be better. Society would be better off if people were more like you. You are a rare gem.
Your last video made me think of the film with Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam called Green Street Hooligans (2005). I've recommended it before but just wanted to follow up because I think you'd really enjoy it.
A really good movie. I had zero interest in soccer aside from some trace childhood recollections of playing and didn't expect much but this movie had me right into it and was much more than I'd thought it would be.
Probably blind fish in the depths, roundish to withstand the pressure. Giant squid too maybe ancient shark survivors. It's truly a place we don't know much about, a dark pit filled with our imagination. Oh and of course that shoddy submersible from last year. I wouldn't even set foot into a really well made device. I did a shallow swim in the carribean and first thing I noticed was the pressure hurting me just below the water surface as I didn't equalize properly, then looking there you float in space and the ground is down there. Magnificent and terrible.
With every discovery of a new living species, we see just how amazingly diverse life forms on Earth are. Life on Earth adapts and survives in places we dare not go. There may be ten million different species at the bottoms of the oceans, and we may never get to know them.
It is always a pleasure to watch videos like this WITH YOUUUUU, My Ladyyy!!! Aaaand I will always love your voice... Trillion kisses from Peter from Hungaryyy!! I hope You are well!!!! ;)
Love the no-frills reaction and discussion stuff you do, and your personality comes across so positively. Thought I'd drop an ocean-related music recommendation that occurred to me when you asked for them - an album called Ocean Songs by Dirty Three. They're an Australian instrumental band featuring Warren Ellis, also the violinist for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Thanks!
Music with books, curiosity and a beautiful smile. Hell you even watch MMA. You and your channel are amazing. Thanks for showing me there is a kindred soul out here. I always say we should let curiosity lead us around like a massive dog on a leash. You seem to practice that here, its awesome. I wonder what the next video will be about haha
We like to talk about space and how much there is to discover, but it's remarkable how much there's still left to discover on Earth, especially in the sea, but yeah, space is so vast, we'll probably never discover it all.
Sea spiders, colossal squids, tube worms, and cookie-cutter sharks are some of the creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean. Tripod fish Rattail fish Sea cucumbers Octopuses Snailfish Zombie worms Dragonfish Goblin shark Pelican eel Anglerfish Hatchetfish Frilled shark Squid Sponges Comb jellies Pink see-through fantasia Fangtooth fish.
On the theme of deep sea exploration, a book you might like is Sphere by Michael Crichton, who wrote the book Jurrasic Park. Starts out as sci-fi with a team of scientists sent to the bottom of the ocean to investigate a crashed spacecraft, turns into quite a claustrophobic psychological piece. Highly enjoyable
I'm totally with you ❤😢 That made me physically uncomfortable, however I am a suckered for punishment, so I'm still here, but I got more and more sketched out by 50-75 meters.... There are some very good "space" equivalents on UA-cam 😊
The saddest thing about our oceans is about 7yrs ago , shrimp like creatures were bought up from the Marianna Trench ( the deepest part of the ocean ) and 100% of them had plastic in their gut ... Food for thought
Meanwhile conservatives complaining that Klaus Schwab wants us to eat bugs. We eat the equivalent of a credit card every year. This is much more serious than eating crickets.
Every time someone talks about animal intelligence I remember when I first heard about Jane Goodall and how she was astonished at how human chimps can be. I was astonished at how it wasn't obvious. Of course they have all the same feelings we do. If course they think and process and learn.
Song wise id recommend Perfume of the timeless by Nightwish its just released and the video fits with this subject very well. Book wise the Abyss that was turned into a film by James Cameron it deals with what could be down there. Also 20000 leagues under the sea a childhood favourite of mine.
I love your content. I love it when I'm not busy and you drop, like just now. Did you know that the Earth is so big, that if you were to shrink it down to the size of a pool ball, it would be smoother than the pool ball, and that includes the depths of the Mariana trench and height of Mount Everest.
Oh perfect timing! Lol I always get stuck on the “shrinking earth down” examples. I was just reading one about it being shrunk down to the size of a quarter
As soon as I watched this video, my feed updated with a simulation of what the Titanic submarine accident looked like, specifically what happed to the people inside. It's safe to say they didn't suffer (or at least feel much) based off of how fast the implosion occured, their brains wouldn't have had time to process any pain.
I wonder if that's like how I look when dealing with heights after less than great sleep, haha. You kept your composure well though! As for music, dare I suggest Six Months in a Leaky Boat, by Split Enz. They had some catchy, quirky songs into the mid 80s, then Neil Finn went on to form Crowded House, who are still beloved here in Australia and beyond.
Bruh imagine being stranded in the middle of the ocean without a raft or boat. Just a life vest on in pitch black darkness with zero moonlight. The nanosecond something glides across my leg is the second I just find something sharp and jab my carotid. Or I die from a heart attack, whichever comes first.
I gave you a like for facing your phobia. For a song, I recommend Weird Fishes by Radiohead. The only book i can think of is 10,000 leagues under the sea, i don't remember much about it from school
Explorations by Robert D Ballard. Most people associate him with his discovery of the Titanic, and he always asks “what about the other eighty expeditions?!?” Such an interesting career.
When they went down in the Trieste , they claimed to have seen a flatfish. There was some controversy around if they saw it or not but hey life finds a way.
yeah, the bit with Rose with the Titanic annoys me......even if there wasn't enough room for them to lay side by side.....they already had sex, have him lay on top of you........plus, the two together, full body contact, as opposed to just arms if side by side.....full body contact can help to keep the warm longer
USS Johnston is a US destroyer that acquited itself with something way, waaaay beyond the call of duty in the Pacific War during WW2. Books: I am about to read "Thunder Below" by Admiral Eugene Fluckey (his memoires of being captain of he USS Barb during WW2) Music: Handel's Water Music, what else?
I enjoyed the book “Das Boot” by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim. An autobiography of his experiences serving on a German U-Boat during the Second World War. The movie produced in 1981 was loosely based on the novel.
I recommend the "hard" science fiction book "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir. Space is it's own kind of abyssal horror. Also, it is being adapted into a film soon, so if you hurry and buy it now you will not have to deal with what I am sure will be a very stupid movie version of the book cover.
As the world's number one exporter of yeah naw. I can see that you subscribe to my philosophy about the ocean of Yeah naw. Also you have pretty eyes. That's beside the point keep up the good work of telling people the ocean isn't for us.
Didn't know there were so many sunken Eiffel Towers under the sea 🤔 To me, I lose the sense of depth/size after a while, it just becomes numbers and pictures. My brain is just big enough to comprehend that I cannot comprehend anymore 🤕
青函 せいかん seikan (blue mailbox, also sounds like "interval of life 生間"). Japan, named by two city between it. 青森 - aomori (green forest), 函館 - hakodate (mailbox building).
The USS Johnston and USS Samuel B. Roberts are the two deepest known shipwrecks in the world. Both as a result of the Battle of Samar against the Japanese. These two small American destroyers fought against Japan's largest battleships until they were both sunk. The Japanese battleship Yamato has the largest gun turrets ever fitted to a ship, at roughly the same weight as the entire USS Johnston. There was no way that it would end well for the destroyers but they didn't back down.
For music you should check out Deathlok - Go Into the Water. It's about the human race going bavk to where our distant ancestors first spawned. It's also one of the most metal intros ever!
I live in Ohio and the science museum COSI in Columbus is currently hosting a Titanic Exhibit. Amazing seeing the things that were preserved for all those years (and how impressive it is that they were even able to recover some of the items from the wreckage)
The crazy thing about the Persian Gulf trough is that most -- if not all -- of it was above water before the last Ice Age ended. Underwater archaeologists have found remnants of ancient settlements beneath the waters. Which is why some scholars have theorized that the story of the Garden of Eden might have been a part of these lost lands, which were most likely fertile at the time -- seeing how this period was roughly the same time when the Sahara and the Arabian desert had a savannah-like climate. Edit: If you thought this video was something, Metalballstudio's "Time" video was notorious for giving almost everyone existential dread.
Only just discovered your channel and dont know if it's helpful but if you want tips for some water-themed songs, I know Sarah Brightmann made a whole water-themed album called "Dive", a little more pop than the two you had, but I think they're really good songs. As for some specific songs to start out with from her album, I'd recommend "Captain Nemo", "The second Element" or "Siren".
Oh yeah, and if the water doesnt have to be in reference to bodies of water, ie. lakes or oceans, theres "Nothing like the Rain" from "2 Unlimited"...fantastic song!
Film: Le Grand Bleu (1988) with the original ending, not the american. There's a beautiful poem of sorts in it but I'd rather not spoil anything for whoever is interested. It's a beautiful film over all. Not always light though, but I guess the deeper you go the heavier it gets.
I once watched a video from a sailing channel. They stopped some good distance from the coast with completely calm seas and went swimming. Somebody joked that they were swimming in a 3000 m deep swimming pool.
“. . . 3000 m deep swimming pool.” Haha I paused the video to scroll comments and lower blood pressure (definite fear of deep water) was just calm enough to restart video and read your comment - nope gonna need another minute LOL
Another interesting fact is the deepest part of the ocean still only covers 0.17% of the distance from the surface to the centre of the earth. That means if the earth was the size a bowling ball, its deepest ocean would only be about the depth of a thinnish coat of paint.
Just imagine….. Make the entire rocky surface of the Earth perfectly smooth and cover it with 11,000 meters of ocean. Shrink the planet to the size of a basketball. The planet would look like a spherical rock with a molecule-thin layer of water covering it. [a rough estimate, of course] 😮😮😮
Dont feel bad for those who died on the Titan submersible.They literally never felt a thing as the implosion happened faster than their nerve endings could send a signal to their brains. Now the last 15 minutes or so leading up to the implosion as they heard the crackling sound of the carbon fibre delaminating and heralding their impending doom, THAT would have been the shitty part, KNOWING that it was coming.
I want to suggest you a video titled "How This One Man Changed An Entire Sport ( Valentino Rossi Documentary)" you might need to do it in 2 parts or more if you react to it because it's quite long... but I'm only suggesting it since you like to watch professional athletes doing their thing on their prime.
There are creatures that live in the marina trench. It is completely dark as there is no sunlight and withstand water pressure the same as putting the eiffel tower on your big toe. They have soft muscles to adapt.
Blobfish and similar fish that may or may not rely on the remnants of untimely cetacean falls and other fish falls gulper eel falls, one species of bobbit worm or other polychaetes you know bottom feeders.
I’ve never seen you like this; you’re usually so stoic and pragmatic in your approach to the videos that you react to. It was actually very charming to see you squirm a bit. And I don’t blame you at all; comparative sizes of celestial bodies triggers me in the same way.
I love how intellectually invested you get with some videos
I’m glad you’re liking them! Thanks for coming back (:

Getting into an argument with someone and they say. "It isn't that deep bro." Then just showing them on this list exactly how deep it is.
I think this is the earliest I've seen one of your videos. It made my day!

USS Johnston is an amazing story that is part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf (WW2), the biggest naval battle in the history of the world. So yeah.
Smart and beautiful.
Film: Le Grand Bleu (1988) with the original ending, not the american. There's a beautiful poem of sorts in it but I'd rather not spoil anything for whoever is interested. It's a beautiful film over all. Not always light though, but I guess the deeper you go the heavier it gets.
I once watched a video from a sailing channel. They stopped some good distance from the coast with completely calm seas and went swimming. Somebody joked that they were swimming in a 3000 m deep swimming pool.
“. . . 3000 m deep swimming pool.” Haha I paused the video to scroll comments and lower blood pressure (definite fear of deep water) was just calm enough to restart video and read your comment - nope gonna need another minute LOL
Deep water is both fascinating and terrifying to me.
Book:The Face of the Waters Robert Silverberg
Musically I suggest you look into the "shoegazer" or Madchester genre. Try "Loveless" album.
Music recommendation: Vangelis - Oceanic (1996)
Movie recommendation: Luc Besson - The Big Blue (1988)
The scary part is that we have only explored five percent of our world ocean.... who's knows what's down there... the ocean is my biggest fear...
I think you might find the video "What Actually Happened To Prisoners Sent To Australia?" very interesting.
❤
Shes so beautiful
Another interesting fact is the deepest part of the ocean still only covers 0.17% of the distance from the surface to the centre of the earth. That means if the earth was the size a bowling ball, its deepest ocean would only be about the depth of a thinnish coat of paint.
3:20 When was the last time you watched the film The Abyss (1989)? lol.
I don’t think I have!
dat waz interesting!
This made me think of the song Wave of mutilation by Pixies.
the island of dr. moreau was also made into a movie
We know more about our solar system than we do about our oceans, and what's in them
Just imagine…..
Make the entire rocky surface of the Earth perfectly smooth and cover it with 11,000 meters of ocean.
Shrink the planet to the size of a basketball.
The planet would look like a spherical rock with a molecule-thin layer of water covering it.
[a rough estimate, of course]
😮😮😮
I think I have that thiing you have about deep water with creatures in it . Getting quesy watching this , but its still so interesting
I found myself holding my breath....Not a deep water person...js
Seeing you get nervous makes me want to hug all the anxiety away XD
Song recommendation! Pacific Ocean Blues by Dennis Wilson.
Dont feel bad for those who died on the Titan submersible.They literally never felt a thing as the implosion happened faster than their nerve endings could send a signal to their brains.
Now the last 15 minutes or so leading up to the implosion as they heard the crackling sound of the carbon fibre delaminating and heralding their impending doom, THAT would have been the shitty part, KNOWING that it was coming.
I want to suggest you a video titled "How This One Man Changed An Entire Sport ( Valentino Rossi Documentary)" you might need to do it in 2 parts or more if you react to it because it's quite long... but I'm only suggesting it since you like to watch professional athletes doing their thing on their prime.
There are creatures that live in the marina trench. It is completely dark as there is no sunlight and withstand water pressure the same as putting the eiffel tower on your big toe. They have soft muscles to adapt.
Music recommendation:
Isis - Oceanic (album)
and Mastodon - Leviathan :)
MBS has great videos.
Blobfish and similar fish that may or may not rely on the remnants of untimely cetacean falls and other fish falls gulper eel falls, one species of bobbit worm or other polychaetes you know bottom feeders.
The Mollusk by Ween
The cover art got me interested, that background flute sounding instrument took my attention
@@NoProtocolThe whole album is great tbh
I’ve never seen you like this; you’re usually so stoic and pragmatic in your approach to the videos that you react to. It was actually very charming to see you squirm a bit. And I don’t blame you at all; comparative sizes of celestial bodies triggers me in the same way.
I took my 12 year old niece to a planetarium show and she had an existential crisis mid show. She felt so tiny and insignificant. poor thing ❤️
the uss johnston is the deepest sunken ship ever discovered! at a depth of 6500 meters!
