Nelson had battleships at Trafalgar? No wonder the British won

Ronald Reagan's 1980 election was just the cover story for the REAL REASON why the Iowas were brought back into service. The real reason was the real threat of the Soviet Navy's construction of the Kirov-class guided-missile battlecruisers which posed a very real threat to the United States Navy's position as Queen of The Seas!! So, hence, all 4 Iowa-class battleships were brought back into fleet service!!

"And, on the Eighth Day, God had blessed the world by creating the United States Navy! And, all of hells inhabitants stood at rigid attention in sheer fright!!"

I like what a sailor aboard one of the ships of Taffy 3 had said, rather ballsy, too, when Kurita pit about: "Damn it, boys! They're getting away!" LOL Gotta love shipboard humor!

Yeah. It was rather fitting that the Japanese Northern Force deliberately made itself known off Cape Engâno, which, ironically, is Spanish for DECEIT!!

Monte. Sir. All Kriegsmarine, German warships, bear the male pronoun of "he," sir. Not, the female pronoun of "she," like in other navies. Because the German homeland was always referred to as The Fatherland. See the point, sir?? Another point of fact, sir. The crew of the Bismarck scuttled him BEFORE the Royal Navy sunk him! FACTS, sir.

I saw this documentary just yesterday. That part about Falaise was really interesting. It really makes you wonder how different things might have been if Paton and the third army had been allowed to encircle and capture the German 7th army.

35:25: woah woah--"knowledge gleaned from german scientists after the war"? that's how we're summing up operation paperclip in this video, and decades of life in huntsville, AL?

In WW2 in the pacific, leaving men in the water for days, knowing they were there is a disgrace and còwardice! Planes were available that could of dropped water and flotation devices but no attempts were made.

👍

Painfuly loud background sound/music compare to the voices of people :/ Please fix this. It's unwatchable (unlistenable) currently.

Patton spoke the truth as he saw it. He didn't care enough about making others angry enough to let that stop him. People with fame and power who do that have usually had manufactured accidents. He knew what Stalin was and if the movie starring George C. Scot was true he stated " we are going to have to fight them sooner or later, why not now while we have the army over her to do it." I think history has proven that he was right.

Draw my hairy butt! The Monitor had its pilot house smashed and its gun turret hammer to the point of being stuck in its tracks, unable to aim. The Monitor ran its butt off for the shallow waters where the Virginia couldn't go and there she hid, her crew in dread fear as the Virginia cruised back and forth all night, looking for a way to get to her. When the Enemy withdraws and hides its called VICTORY you mealy mouthed, yellow yankee scumbag!!!

Did an American battleship sink an enemy battleship ?

What otherwise could have been a great video, it just showed the deep ignorance of the Soviet Union contributions. And the extreme lies of millions of German women being raped has proven to be a dishonest lie. This video shows a deep hatred from the makers of this video towards the Russians. Payton was a fascist!!!!

I THOUGHT MCARTHUR WAS ON PT-109 WITH A BLOKE CALLED JOHN KENNEDY ? IT SEEMS THE STORY AN KENNEDY'S INVOLVEMENT WAS LOAD OF BULL-SHIT ! WELL IT WAS A GOOD STORY TO MAKE A MOVIE ON ! PEOPLE WERE RIGHT ABOUT MCARTHUR HE DID LIKE TO BE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA ! BUT THE THE STORY OF PT-109 WAS A LIE ! 👀👎🖕😲😱🥴🥒🚽🥺😡💯🇺🇸DOC🇭🇲

Now that more of the alleged "slapping"" smear campaign has been revealed, I can see that Patton was framed! I have never seen ANYTHING but praise from those who served with him.

with 4 iowa class battleships, when you have a serious itch that needs scratching, they'll get the job done. after all, what enemy really wants to see one or more sitting off their coast

I want to see Victor Davis Hanson unleashed! What that guy must know....

I recall reading that Patton's last visitor reported that Patton had been in stable condition. That visitor left him, walked down the hall and shortly after that Patton was dead. It was very possible that the powers that be wanted to pursue peace (joined by the preference for Soviet influence over the West by the sizable numbers of progressives, socialists, and marxist communists in Britain and the US at the time) and decided Patton was their common enemy to peace. Ironically the tragedy of Stalinism, Maoism, and other socialist variants produced more than 10 times the death, murder, and genocide than that perpetrated by the socialist NAZIs.

A great, great documentary. God Bless 🎖 General George S. Patton

This is good (They conveniently and predictably left out the banking powers role in this but as mainstream documentaries go it's pretty good). Americans, patriotic and loyal ones most of all, need to know what our own government is capable of; what it has done and what it is doing.

pretty much the same old political games going on today. and sure enough the "left" is still behind all of it!

Ok what was point of duck an cover drill in cold war doesn't seem like would do anything if blast was close

Excellent film! Congrats from Uruguay

J8erlm

He knew the truth about soviets and the threat they posted and I think he knew the truth about Jews and holotale........he toured a concentration camp and the us army paraded shrunken heads... lampshades and all kinda "proof" of Nazi atrocities....it doesn't take a genius to figure out that was propaganda

The era of the battleship ended as quickly as it began. Missiles and bombs > guns.

Patton was a cancer and it was a good thing he got taken out

The idea the monitor was the first modern battleship is classic American centrism ignoring developments elsewhere

Cut the beginning bull crap so the vid isn't so long

We go from Bismarck to Pearl Harbor? Yamamoto credited with his "innovative ideas" on carrier-borne aircraft dominating battleships in the battle space? And where did the Japanese get this idea? A critically important, and ostensibly omitted chapter in the story is the British swordfish torpedo raid on Taranto Harbor, Italy. When news of Britain's success reached Berlin, the Japanese ambassador quickly journeyed to Taranto to survey the damage.....followed by his reporting back to Japan of the devastation wrought by the British sinking 3 Italian battleships. The Japanese were merely following Great Britain's example of carrier-borne aircraft neutralizing battleships. Let's give credit where credit is due!

So united states hasn't won a war since 1945

I always wanted to be on a Patrol Boat, but the RAN sent me to a Frigate instead. Dammit.

19:45 clearly a civilian target.

Early in the 15th century the French began adding hinged covers to the side of Ships, and the British Man of War was born?

Viewing this you can only assume the American navy was the Nazis only opposition.

I cannot fathom anyone asking the question.. "Are they necessary ?" The answer is "YES !"

Excellent video. thank you for re-posting it.

Yet one more reason I wholeheartedly support the decision made to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as if Pearl Harbor wasn’t enough!

doakan mamah selalu dan tony.secara pribadi semoga . gopay

Yugoslavia was never the USSR.

This is what the late-former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell, had to say about the United States Navy's carrier battle group: "The presence of the carrier battle group is an ever-present reminder to, BOTH, friend AND, FOE, ALIKE, THAT THE POWER OF THE UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 IS JUST OVER THE HORIZON!!!"

Gotta love Rear Admiral Jesse Oldendorf and, his flotilla of the old, WW1-era battleships: the "Pearl Harbor Sisters!!" The USS Tennessee, USS Oklahoma, West Virginia, California and, Pennsylvania. Not only dealing the Japanese Southern Force the trouncing it had coming to them. But, those 5, glorious ships getting their revenge against the Imperial Japanese Navy!!!! Well done, you deck apes!!! To those sailors who served aboard those beautiful warships and, are still with us or, the families of those who did serve aboard them, I, heartily thank you for your dedicated service and, for whupping Japanese ass!!!! I salute ALL Y'ALL!!!! HOOYAH, SHIPMATES!!! Semper Fortis, my brothers. Fair winds and, following seas, all of you.

One thing NEEDS to be underscored, here. Prior to his ascension to commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, he, FIRST, was a junior naval officer who came here, I believe, prior to the Great War, aka, World War 1. He studied at Harvard University up in Massachusetts. WHILE there, he got to learn all about our culture, our heritage, and, saw our work ethic. How we took pride in what we did. Several years later, he's Japan's military attachè in Washington DC. While here, he took a tour of the United States 🇺🇸. He saw our factories; how we quickly mass-produced cars, tractors, trucks, household items, etc. He saw our coal mines, hydroelectric power plants, farms, etc. He saw, especially with regards to our factories, that it wouldn't take too much to re-tool them to a war-footing to QUICKLY mass-produce weapons of war. He, rightly, deduced, that ANY NATION that goes to war against the United States 🇺🇸, had best deliver an IMMEDIATE AND, DECISIVE, knock-out blow, thereby, forcing us to negotiate a truce and, later, a peace settlement. Otherwise, within 6 months to a year, our industrial output would overwhelm ANY ADVERSARY!!! Well, when Hidekei Tojo took power, he demanded of Yamamoto a plan to attack the United States Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He REFUSED, at first. Telling him and, the war hawks in Tojo's cabinet, that war with the United States 🇺🇸 would be a highly futile gesture. But, unfortunately, they REFUSED to listen to sound logic and, reason. So, he came up with the plan to deal a crippling blow to our Pacific Fleet. The prime targets: our three (3) aircraft carriers, the USS Enterprise, the USS Yorktown and, the USS Saratoga. They were the principal targets. Then, our repair facilities, air bases, oil storage tanks, sub pens, dry docks, etc. The battle line would be taken out in the second wave, if I'm right. (If not, then, by all means, someone correct me, politely). But, before ALL THAT was to take place, a 14-page document was to be handed to, then, Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, outlining Japan's premise to go to war with the United States 🇺🇸!!! Well, we all know that it didn't turn out that way. Upon learning of the fiasco, and, hearing that our precious carriers were out to sea, at the time of the attack, prompted him to utter these, now, infamous words: "The prime targets of the attack, the American carriers, were not in port. Our list of demands was given to the American government AFTER our planes had already attacked Pearl Harbor. I CANNOT IMAGINE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD INFURIATE THE AMERICANS MORE!! I FEAR ALL THAT WE HAVE DONE WAS TO AWAKEN A SLEEPING GIANT AND, FILL HIM WITH A TERRIBLE RESOLVE!!!!" He was, of course, right!!!

Mr. Markham. With respect for you and, with regards for the pronoun you used in reference to the DKM Bismarck. The Germans did NOT use the prototypical female pronoun of "she." Instead, they chose the male pronoun of "HE." For, he was named after the Prussian military genius and, founder of the German Republic, Otto von Bismarck.

Imagine this, if you will. (For, the battleship STILL, in my opinion, has a place in this techno-age of "smart weapons" and, hypersonic missiles. Just allow me to illustrate it.): It's sometime in the, somewhat, near future. The United States Navy brings back, NOT ONLY the 4 Iowa sisters that were initially constructed. But, their 2 NEVER CONSTRUCTED SISTERS, the USS Kentucky and, the USS Illinois. HOWEVER, instead of being oil-fired engines, they're NUCLEAR POWERED!! ON TOP OF THAT, instead of gun powdered projectiles, electromagnetic RAIL GUNS are mounted on them. Their size is bumped-up to 18"(inches!!) The CIWS system is increased from 4, to 6 mounts and, are ramped-up to defeat hypersonic missiles. Like in the 1980's, they sail as part of a surface-action group. China has ramped up its rhetoric about retaking Taiwan 🇹🇼, BY BRUTE FORCE!!! In response, the carriers, the USS Nimitz (CVN-76), the USS Enterprise (CVN-80) are on station near the island nation. Along with those 2 flattops, is an Amphibious Ready-group centered around the USS Tarawa. Well, to REALLY show the People's Republic that we mean business, the Surface-action group centered around the legendary USS Missouri (BBN[remember, nuke-powered]-63) SAILS RIGHT UP THE STRAITS OF TAIWAN 🇹🇼 AND, SWINGS ALL HER GUNS TO PORT!!! To show that we mean business!!!!! Of course, Red China 🇨🇳 sorties a mess of warplanes and, sends its OWN Navy to "counteract" ours. However, they, soon realize, that a confrontation, with the ships we have on station, would be a fruitless undertaking. It could happen, IF WE DARED ENOUGH TO "THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!"

General Leonard Jarreau, ashore on Bloody Omaha Beach, radioed General Omar Bradley, afloat on one of the Navy's ships, these words: "Thank GOD FOR THE UNITED STATES NAVY!!!" HOOYAH, SHIPMATES!!!! WELL DONE, YOU DECK APES, WELL DONE!!!! To my Army brothers and, sisters: HOOAH!!!!

GUNBOATS were not fast motor torpedo boats as depicted in this video, the only gunboat in this video is the 1937 one. The gunboat era was basically from the 1850's to the end of WW2, the US as depicted in this video as usual is the only nation to have gunboats, other nations had them to. Not a very good depiction of GUNBOATS does this video describe.

Little known and, underreported fact: while the British Expiditionary force gathered along the beaches of Dunkerque, their courageous, valiant, staunch allies in the French and, Belgian Armies gave back to the Germans 100×'s GREATER THAN WHAT THEY WERE TAKING IN, THEREBY SECURING THE NECESSARY EVACUATION OF BRITISH FORCES!!! Thankfully, someone in the British Admiralty had a conscience and, ordered as many ships to pick up as many of their beleaguered and, exhausted allies, the French and, the Belgians as possible. If my memory is correct, some 2-3,000 OR, MORE French and, Belgian soldiers were brought back to Great Britain 🇬🇧 at the end of that GLORIOUS MIRACLE which was Dunkerque!!!! Vive Le France 🇫🇷, Vive Le Belgium 🇧🇪, VIVE LE LIBERTÈ!!! Three cheers to the Admiralty and, those brave men who volunteered for this mission of mercy!!!
