The Essex class aircraft carriers are the victorious ships of the US Navy. They were nicknamed the Masters of the Pacific: not a single ship of this class was lost in battle, despite several of them sustaining heavy damage.
With the introduction of aircraft carriers, naval warfare underwent a dynamic shift. Though navies may have been launching manned aerial vehicles from ships long before the appearance of what might considered a modern aircraft carrier, it wasn't until WWII that warplanes became synonymous with naval combat.

"Enterprise senpai, do you see my fate now"
Essex, every time she get MVP
Edit: Congarts to our new memelord: InTrEpId
Es-sex!!!!
Hahaha!!! I love Essex
Azur lane weebs are surprisingly into actual hostory
Lemon
bitch got turned into a starship it don’t need the Essex
Essex:
* Hold my lemons. *
I didn't know you're also here
our lemon girl
My father was on the USS Hornet CV-12 in 1944-45 with VF-11 Sundowners as a fighter pilot (Commander John W Ramsey US Navy 1941-1964). I have toured the ship at Alameda she and her volunteers/staff are A-1! Great video WOWs!
"Spirit Wind?" I think you mean "Divine Wind." Kami = God, Kaze = Wind.
+Cyberphobe Indeed. It also refers to a "Divine Wind" that saved Japan by destroying an invading armada (Probably a Tsunami, or such gale force winds as to drive the ships into each other and destroy them).
+Cyberphobe it can be translated in so many ways but i dont think that is such a serious trouble here.
+Cyberphobe
Spirit Wind. "Grooman". At least he pronounced Vought correctly. It's also curious that they have an English-speaking Russian narrator making an obvious effort at a British accent.
Zhang Michael No, not really. The kanji used for Kamikaze are 神風. 神 has only one meaning: God/deity. While 風 means wind, breeze, gale, sirocco, etc.
Putting them together can really only give you "Divine wind", or literally translated, "Godly wind".
ThomSirveaux I do understand most of the characters' meaning in Japanese, however I think this is just minor problem that won't make much of a difference because "神風“ is more like a spiritual thing rather than literal meaning
where are the lemons
On route to enty
Fellow commander.
Not shown. We can’t reveal how they are so fresh.
Shangri la wants to know your location
Hahaha i knew an azur lane player would comment here, hello fellow commander 😂😂
"Big Tailed Beast" is partially right, but it was more often call "Son of a Bitch, 2nd class" for the SB2C designation. Also, the pilots learned to like it; it was the maintenance crew that continued to hate it.
Though it still says a lot about he opinion of flight crews that the SBD was slow but deadly, a complimentary name, while the SB2C had an insult.
One of the Corsair's names was "Bent-wing Bastard." The Marines still loved it, though. American pilots appear to have a long tradition of giving insulting names to planes that they eventually come to like.
Beowulf DW True, but the SBD was loved from the start.
B-52 is known as the BUFF big ugly fat fuck, and the A-7 was known as the SLUF or short little ugly fuck
SLUF is a hilarious nickname.
I served with VAH-4, we deployed on Essex class carriers in the early 60’s, USS Oriskany CVA-34, 2 westpac deployments, USS Bon Home Richard CVA-31, 1 Westpac deployment, 1 Carrier qual on the USS Hancock, 2 quals on the Oriskany, she was the best of the 3, clean as could be, well managed ship with great food, hated to see her sunk for a reef, she deserved better!
the reason i love WOWS is that its not only just a game, it teaches you history and its an amazing community of gamers teaching and learning from each other and
also an amazing platform to learn about the past and re create events that lead to us today.
Wargaming add the Enterprise with hellcats
Wait, this is a warship game that uses historical ships, but doesn't have the most decorated U.S. ship of WWII in it?! WTF, WG?
+Cyberphobe most decorated = special ship $$$
Razgriz
Ohh, now it all makes sense.
+Cyberphobe I don't blame them. I would buy even if they released in an overpriced bundle. ALTHOUGH, WOULD BE NICE IF THEY JUST SOLD THE SHIP AS AN OPTION! *Hint Hint* Im half joking but bundles with flags are kind of gimmicky considering there are now ample opportunities in game to earn flags. Hellcat has been modeled though. There's a mod that switches the files so your planes look like hellcats. Aesthetic change to client side only.
It's sad they scraped Enterprise :(
the Corsair was a fighter/bomber. It became more of a close support bomber during Korean war. The TBM/ avengers were used in forest fire fighting into the 70's
Bring us back odd tier CVs pls
My great-grandfather served on an Essex Class carrier Shangri-la CV-38 during the Second World War as a radio operator. He passed away when i was a little kid so i didn't get to ask him about his service.
My great grandfather was on the uss essex cv9 in world war 2
Ahhh CV-10, the USS Yorktown, such a familiar sight. Living in SC, I always enjoy it when I go to Charleston, crossing the bridge, and seeing the Yorktown in her permanent place on the Cooper River at Patriots Point. Always such a lovely sight to see
18 year old Americans back in the day: Launching and recovering aircraft on the sea for 12 hours straight
18 year olds now: I feel oppressed and offended...
You're forgetting that most of those 18 year old Americans back in the day didn't get to choose.
@@Slavic_Goblin yes but also they didn't complain that much and I'm sure there were many volunteers
@@karlleego2513 I'm sure there were, national pride and propaganda will produce plenty of volunteers. Then again, you still had draft...
That the snowflakes are whining so much in present day is the fault, primarily, of the education/parenting. They were taught that they'll get results if they whine and complain. So in that respect, society failed them first.
@@Slavic_Goblin it would have been weird if there wasn't conscription during the largest conflict in human history in one of the major countries. But the saying that hard times create strong man, strong man create easy times and easy time create weak man who create hard times is true. Definitely the society in general is to blame for the fact that people expect others to do stuff for them and bitch about everything. Just the downside of good and easy times
@@karlleego2513 Haven't heard truer words then that in a long time!
I love how every single one of them just needs the capacity to have HVARs.

The USS Hornet (CV-12) is a museum ship in Alameda Naval Base, only a hour away from me
Noice! I’m near an aircraft carrier museum too!
whats crazy is the US navy never actually had an essx class carrier sunk during the war. in fact after the WASP was sunk off guadalcanal in 1942 they never lost another fleet carrier
not only could they deal out pain they could absorb it too
Hornet (CV-8) was the last US Navy fleet carrier lost in the war.
The quality of these Naval Legends episodes is absolutely fantastic!! Keep it up Wargaming!
I’ve been on an Essex class carrier. The U.S.S. Lexington in my home state of Texas
I live in corpus and I love going there every day
Great Video's, Keep them coming.
6:15 is footage of a V-1 being downed by a Spitfire or Typhoon/Tempest.
Now we need a video like this on the UK and IJN Carriers!
I always thought that they should have made the USS Enterprise a museum ship.
AMERICA NUMBAH WAN
America OP nerf plz!
Chow Tom
It was just a joke, and I am not Japanese.
+Zoltan Katona Well US kind of used "Show me the money" cheat during 1942-43 xD
익명
Pay to win noobs!
what would be funny is if they added an amrican teir 15 class of aircraft carriers the nimitz class with f18s and and all i would be premuim and it would cost real money of about 20 dollars it would be against all teir ten ships now that would be a rage quit deal
Against the nation with over 400+ divebombers to bear against those 18" guns LOL
The SBD Dauntless replaced the SBC Helldiver not as stated in this video. The Helldiver was last used by the US Navy in 1942. The Dauntless was in production until mid 1944 and used for years after.
Is that a ww2 vet . Thank him for his service
I doubt there was any class of ships that kicked more ass then the Essex class.
Yorktown Class
Awesome documentary with both file footage and in-game images. (WoWS is fun, though I'm not good at it. Thanks, Jingles)
Now if paper thin hulls weren't hyped (and coded) as awesomesause that would be better. (Stronk Ship (DD) = ship IRL that had hulls that could be penetrated before that torpedo detonator recognized that it HIT ANYTHING, being classed as something commendable.)
Was this a video about the Essex class ships or the aircraft they carried?
bring back the essex
One HUGE mistake is the definition of kamikaze. It wasn't spirit wind. It actually was translated as God Wind but was then known as "Divine Win" that stopped the Mongols invasion of Japan. That right there makes everything said in this historydoc suspect to incorrect information. That does not mean that it gets anything else wrong, but if a single word like kamikaze could be given the wrong english translation and is a very well known word for anyone who is talking about Naval actions in the Pacific between the US and Japan. So right there I ding this, with a total of 1-10, I give it an 8 out of 10 as they repeated the error not once but twice. Plus since that word could be looked up from an English perspective instead of possible Russian (I am assuming that is where the error came from) it shows they did not depend on English as much as they should have. Of course that is common for translating it among different languages but since this is an english video, they should have used the English word and possible not a different language. Some might think I am harsh about docking it 2 pts, but when they repeat their mistake almost back to back that is really bad and showed no one looked at it from the perspective of the language they are presenting the video in. It is this kind of mistake that can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding and incorrect information getting out to the public creating a conflict as to what the word means.
wait a secomd isnt that the USS Midway in San Dioego? i been their and i wont forget those planes
+Dragonfly gaming Yes it is I visited it once.
Thats the Intrepid in New York. A modified Essex for the Korean War.
We have a floating museum Essex Class in my home city..... CV-16.
A video about a british ship would be good
You guys should do a video on the USS somner
hay, và hãy chỉ cho tôi mẹo vặt trong world of warships.
Đừng cho đối thủ thấy phần thân của tàu. Đứa nào "lộ hàng" trước, đứa đó chết trước.
I will unlock the Essex next few days
nice video
when will he be back in world of warships i really miss her
the americans constructed 150 aircraft carriers, holy shit dude
...Kamikaze (Japanese: 神風; literally:
"god-wind"; usual translation: "divine wind") is a word of Japanese
origin. It comes from the name the Japanese gave to a typhoon that
destroyed the Mongol ships in the 13th century and saved the country
from invasion.
Anyone else think the way they say the gun caliber is stupid? "8 times 5 xxx gun"
Buff the Carrier
Wouldn't play on my phone so i'm using my new 3dsxl ^^

Confirmed that war gaming is better than History Channel in terms of documentary.
That's not really all that hard to do.
@Bryant Pace Ok
@Bryant Pace 1. Your assuming that he or she is an idiot.
2. Don't you think that is a bit rough?
is it just me or they just deleted their own reply...
@@du_nut_tuch_me4230 ye I can’t even see his own reply
US wrecking the whole Japanese Navy by spamming more Aircraft Carriers
US : *THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE! , HOW ABOUT A LITTLE MORE*
Japan:attacks Pearl Harbor
U.S.A:I am going to destroy this mans whole carrier
Mighty Pickle Replace Japan with Emperor Hirohito and it’s historically accurate
American officers: So, how'd you guys retake stalingrad?
Russian Officers: Easy, we spam troops, comrade
American officers: Spam, you say?
Jokes aside tho, they didn't wreck the japanese fleet because of carrier spam. 60% of the entire Japanese fighting force in the pacific got their asses whooped by literally 3 aircraft carriers and their battlegroup, and that was the enterprise, yorktown, and the hornet. These 3 gave the americans the bang for their buck. The Essex class came in late. sadly tho, 2 of the yorktown-classes were sunk, leaving only the Enterprise, the most decorated ship of WW2.. It's a shame some retarded businessman sold her for scrap. If i can go back in time, i'd beat the living crap out of that idiot
@@_spooT Actually the submarine fleet did all the damage. Choked the Japanese off of everything they needed to fight.
There are 3 types of player here
People that play WoW
People that play Azur Lane
People that play both
"Japan made 18 CVs" wow thats a lot... "and the americans made 150 CVs"
WTF?!
IM NOT PLAYING THESE GAMES -USA
The Essex are the most numerous capital ships on record with 20+ built
Not being a killjoy but im just saying that the usa didnt manufacture 150, its just saying that with americas's resources, they can make 150. Sorry! Pls forgive me ._.
the us made 36 carriers of various types during the war, but with their economic capacity they could produce 150. but holy shit 36 against 18 is still a lot
both squadron and lesser escort carriers. The US Pacific fleet ended ww2 with 200 cruisers for example. What Yamamoto was afraid of: mass industrial output
America: "How many Essex-Class carriers should we make?"
Also America: "Yes."
IJN: hey can we get more carriers? Emperor struggles for years.
US: time to destroy everything afloat
These vids are better than the CG stuff the Documentary channel does
+Fate/Dynasty never heard of a "Documentary Channel"
+Fate/Dynasty true. but remember, this is all these guys do. render video. History, MIlitary, Discovery channels may have some CG designers and such, but running a TV station is more than just rendering some video. Ever see any of the videos that Blizzard Entertainment does?
shades921 Indeed I've seen Blizzard cinematics and always see the same "blizzard need to make a movie" comments
+Fate/Dynasty But Blizzard is making a movie... and it looks pretty good.
+Berelore oh I know, I was just making an observation. I'm stoked for the Blizzard movie
"Right. We lost the Kido Butai but Taihou is nearly done and Zuikaku and Shoukaku are the best carriers in the world. How many carriers could they be making?" - IJN after Guadalcanal.
"THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. THE CARRIER HAS ARRIVED." - USN

Essex:Notice me Senpai,stop yus yus with Belfast already
That Essex cost me a ton of cube and then 2 Taihou
seeing Essex in confused screaming lmao
Well she is still better than Enterprise XD its just that Enterprise has better reputation
Essex is a good shipfu
Enterprise senpai
Years ago, I think it was History Channel that ran a show called Battle 360 about the USS Enterprise. These little minidocs are shorter, but they offer more information, and more action than that show I was glued to many years ago. These are well done, Wargaming.
except wargaming makes up stuff and it is true
Yes you are correct.
Battle Wagon Battle 360; Patton 360 and The Lost Evidence were all well made for the time (80s and 90s)!
Also the Battlefield series
It would be great if Battle 360 could be updated with more modern CG and more attention to detail (instead of cookie cutter ships and planes). They could also add more information to each episode. Watching them again, it's as though 50% of each episode was review on what you've seen so far before this last commercial break. LOL
@@skyhawkpilot172 they also used footage from Dogfights
please do the USS Johnston next! the DD that almost single handed fought off the Yamato's task force
better yet do a whole episode on the Battle off Samar!
YES!
she didn't almost "singlehandedly" She only led the charge. She was with other destroyers as well performing smoke screens while advancing to protect the light carriers that were defending the troops in the Philippines
They only do ships that are museums either of the real ship or a model of it
@@kakao2273 Remember *Sovetsky Soyuz*
You forgot the most effective weapon of the USS Essex, Lemons
@AymsLT wait, what do you mean “Lemons”
Azur lane reference, Essex uses lemons to troll Enterprise in the memes
*USS Enterprise dislike this comment*
Oh
Notice me Enterprise senpai~
uss enterprise(big E) should be next
+David Potvin im with you on that
+David Potvin It'd be hard as she was unfortunately scrapped so they'd have to do something similar to the Yamato video and even then there's no museum dedicated to her unlike the Yamato, although I'm totally agreeing with a video on the Enterprise, it'd be a bit of a stretch for them to make
It’s on the game
And the Grey Ghost
Also uss intrepid(the fighting I) :>
"The Big tail beast"? I though he was know as: "Son-of-a-Bitch 2nd Class"
Diego Vinicio Majia Quesada I heard that too... it was nicknamed that cos of SB2C
Well it's not like nicknames are mutually exclusive.
It had a lot of nicknames. "Son-of-a-Bitch 2nd Class" and "Big Tailed Beast" and some others. Son-of-a-Bitch 2nd Class and Big Tailed Beast are the most common nicknames for it.
They probably chose The big tail beast because they can’t say bitch on their video
When are we getting one about the goddess of the pacific. ENTERPRISE
Buff my girl back you Russian cheerleaders 😑
Bring back Essex and Taiho pls....
Japanese Navy: "The Americans are out of carriers and we finally sank that pesky Enterprise! They have no functioning carriers now!"
Enterprise: "I'm 'bout to end the IJN's career."
Essex-Class Carriers: "We want to end their careers too."
Enterprise was enough. Together with her crew she was beast.
Literally had a sign "Enterprise VS Japan" onboard, now that's badass.
Enty: *you cant kill GOD*
big e: i lived b*tch
Essex best Girl
Yes also the best meme queen
Essex: *give lemon to japanese ship lemons*
"Imagine: a small island country controls a territory 17 times bigger than its own,"
Uh.. Great Britain anyone?
They said that to reference the UK. But unlike the UK, Japan failed to hold ob their holdings.
Japan: Noooo u cant just make 150CVs while we can only make 18
America: Haha 150CVs goes brrrr

Also Wargaming: hEy GuYs WeRe ReMoViNg ThE eSsEx Cv FrOm WoW
Saad, i want to get her alongside Taihou
IJN: Ha! One carrier down and a hundred more to go. . . .
Japan was able to produce 18 aircraft carriers during the war, America - 150. That in a nutshell, is why Japan never stood a chance in WWII.
Once America had changed his industry from a civilian footing to a military one, it was all over.
This is hilarious. Love the descriptions of the Helldiver. The landing gear would always collapse. Clear the decks! (Then they show a Hellcat crashing). They would often lose their ammunition. Where did it go? Did they ever find it? Unbelievable.
I've been on the aircraft carrier in the video it's a beautiful ship
-- This is how a documentary should be done. My only problem with it, is that it ended. Big thumbs up.

Really we showed up when WWI was almost over. Without our manpower it would have ended by December 1918 or January 1919
@@jasondietrich833 oh I know, it was pretty much finished when the US showed up. Of course, 4 years ago I just started my history degree so I've learned a lot about different historical topics, including more in-depth on WWI
My great-grandfather served on board the USS Shangri-la CV-38 (one of the Essex Class Aircraft Carriers) in ww2 as the radio operator.
She is now a bloody beautiful Character in Azur lane
OK who was the Hellcat pilot who lands on the deck but crashes into the
Carrier's Island breaking his plane in half? That landing is in almost every WW II
film showing operations on US Navy Carriers. It seems he survived the landing
but I bet he hated being in the kitchen and hearing his wife from the living room
watching a WW II Doc film.
" Honey come quick......you're about to crash into the Island again "
The arrival of the Essex-class carriers effectively ended the effectiveness of Japanese carriers and Japanese submarines.
The Essex class carriers are my favorite,out of all U.S carriers
My pop served aboard the USS PRINCETON CV37 during the Korean war
I miss my Essex carrier in game
Why can't you play it anymore?
@@Doncroft1 they removed tier 9 carriers from the game very early on.
make a Naval Legends Video about the USS Enterprise(CV-6) plz i need this in my life!!!
It had the most battle stars of any ship even now
NEXT Unryū-class vs Essex-class,
these carrier was built after the reaction, from attacking Pearl Harbor.
-How quickly are they built
-Which damage did they get and still floating
-How many death from Torpedo, Bombs and near-misses Bombs
-How strong are their armor
-How fast they are and how far they can go
-How many planes can they carry in operation
Btw. Essex can carry 100 planes and Unryū 65 planes, but Ikoma can carry 75 planes.
(don't forget what if Japanese send the last version of their aircraft?)
smh America just spamming Essex class what a meta slave :/
-Japan probably
Too bad she was an odd-tier CV and didn't survive the 0.8.0 rework
interesting how a lot of the hanger footage is from the USS Midway in San Diego....which is not an Essex class carrier. lol
I sort of expected them to focus on the USS Yorktown (#2) in Charleston and the USS hornet (#2) in San Francisco
Or Lady Lex in Texas... They also barely discussed the ships, and focused on the aircraft...
Dad went to North Africa and became a Tank Commander. His youngest brother went into Sicily. His uncle was in the Pacific. Everyone came home. 🇺🇸
Funnily enough, I heard that the company/team developing WoWs for Wargaming were previously a film company. Probably why these videos are so good.
Enterprise senpai, enterprise senpai, enterprise senpai
The trouble with the F4U Corsair is that pilots had trouble seeing past the engine when landing on a ship so it was relegated to mostly the Marines. Colonel "Pappy" Boyington of the Black Sheep Squadron flew one of these
the Royal Navy took some and it worked pretty well for them.
The \British soon learned to deal with the landing and the bouncing upon landing on aircraft carriers. Soon afterwords, the US began using them again to!!
@Lalo Lalo That's right, in fact the F4U didn't go on a carrier because it was to diff to land it. I'm not British, but give credit where its due, the Brits took the Corsair & like you said approached the carrier from a right angle then turned into it at the landing.
@Lalo Lalo the merlin and griffin engines were. Built and designed by Packard our crooked politicians would not let them patent it gave the patent rights to R R read Packard history that engine pre dates ww 2
now behold, Essex eating a cheeseburber
I'm so sad that all those great Warships like the Yamato and Musashi have been sunk. I would have loved to see the Yamato as a Museum Ship. Same with all the ships that fell victim to Operation Crossroads.
