It’s just past midnight on Friday November 13th, 1942. The opening of the battle of Guadalcanal. On board the USS San Francisco is Rear Admiral Daniel Judson Callaghan. The fleet of 13 ships was all that stand between the strategically vital Henderson Field on Guadalcanal and an incoming Japanese fleet. The fleet of 13 ships were all that were left battle ready after engagements with the Japanese, and now the Japanese are coming for Guadalcanal. On board the IJN Hiei is Admiral Hiroaki Abe. The event is marked by a series of mistakes in command on both sides leading to confusion and friendly fire. The men fought with bravery and commitment but at a terrible price.

Nice can you do more tirpitz
Great Video!! A few mistakes though. 1. Atlanta didnt wander into the line of fire of her ally, her ally mistook her for a japanese ship. 2. The aircraft were from USS enterprise. Enterprises forward elevator was destroyed, so the aircraft flew from enterprise, sand Hiei, and landed at henderson field.
It was such a good game until the submarines.
You missed an opportunity to upload this on Friday the 13th, the next one is october, only 2 weeks away!

My English teacher's relative was on board the Laffey, and got an award for helping save other sailors, and had a destroyer escort named for him, USS Knudson.
damn to have a destroyer escort named after you is pretty badass
Indeed, very cool to have one
@@celozzz-sx5joto have a us navy vessel names after you at all is badass
Yeah it was pretty cool to learn that

One thing not mentioned is that the San Francisco was captained by a Medal of Honor holder, Captain Cassian Young, who earned his Medal during Peral Harbor while commanding USS Vestal, the repair ship next to Arizona. McCandless earned the Medal of Honor for his actions on Friday the 13, and would retire as a Rear Admiral in 1952. Not only that, but McCandless son would be the first American to execute an untethered spacewalk.

Friday the 13th may be unlucky for anyone in this battle, but for USS Fletcher it may be her luckiest day of her life. 13 American ships engaged in the fight. Fletcher was the 13th or last ship in line. Fletcher had a brush of death when 3 Japanese torpedoes ran deep only inches under her keel. Becoming the 3 destroyers to enter the meele, she was the only one still capable of combat by the end. Her hull numbers 445 add up to 13, the task force number 67 also add up to 13. She was named after Admiral Frank FRIDAY Fletcher. By the end of the war she earned 13 battle stars. No wonder Fletcher earned the nickname Lucky 13.
The numbers 445 in that sequence add up to four hundreds, four tens, and five ones, anything else is non-sense.
@@minirock000 never heard of a digit sum?
@@uzbekistanplaystaion4BIOScrek Oh crap so you mean the people that were told to put that number on the vessel and the people that kept track of the numbers on vessels conspired to number that one so it would add up to thirteen because they knew it would be lucky. With all the religiosity in The States and there is an overwhelming number of religious fanatics in The States, thirteen is a very unlucky number to those xtians, so I highly doubt that. Plus it s just pattern seeking innit, conspiracy crap.

Gentlemen, your videos are masterful. It is truly wonderful to see these battles come to life like this in such a magnificent animation with your narration. Well done.
Thank you very much!
@Yarnhub he's right you genuinely can't get a better war story channel then this
@@Yarnhubthe animation is seriously some of the best stuff I’ve seen for this genre of content. Everything from the human face, mannerisms, explosions, camera angles and even the HD quality.
Watching a hour length movie of this stuff would be elite.

Truly a simple man thing 🗿

Fun fact: Admiral Callaghan was actually from San Francisco! That made his death aboard SF a death at home. Also, San Francisco survived and made it back to port. Her bridge was initially seen as junk but someone found it after the war and one of the wings present at Guadalcanal is now the monument to the Cruiser and her sailors.
Is it just me or does it happen somewhat often that some random american stumbles upon WWII stuff just randomly lying around in the continental US...
They are really everywhere and random. They didn't scrap anything after WWII and the Cold War in the USA. Then when the Cold War ended lots of people wanted to maintain leftover rusting weapons in museums and parks and memorials.
This definitely needs part 2, where Washington comes back for the Kirishima.
I agree
Yes agree
Agreed
Correction - where Kirishima is busy punishing the hapless malfunctioning and partly crippled South Dakota... and then Washington rolls up out of the dark, *executes* Kirishima only to disappear back into the darkness like the fabled ninja leaving the surviving Japanese ships and crew wondering what the hell just happened.
Agree
They successfully defended the airfield at the cost of thousands of American lives. Salute to those brave sailors. gone but never forgotten. Thanks, yarnhub, for sharing their tale!
My great great uncle Boyd was on the uss Atlanta. He was wounded in the head and right thigh to shrapnel and was blown over the side of the ship he was picked up the next morning. He was patched up and put on uss San Diego 2 months later. His ship was the first to enter Tokyo Bay since before the war, and was there for the surrender of the Japanese. He later married my aunt genie who was a Japanese war bride.
The IJN Hiei was the first Japanese battleship to be sunk during World War Two. Her sister Kirishima actually died even more heroically in my opinion because she dueled with another battleship (USS Washington).
Great stuff Yarnhub! Keep it up 👍🏻
If “duelled” means “was fired on by a battleship at point blank range because she forgot there were two big American ships on the field that night and not just one”, sure.
@@bkjeong4302oh my god really?
@@MaticTheProto
Yeah. The Japanese weren’t expecting American battleships at all (and to be fair, the Americans DIDN’T want to send them-they had run out of operational cruisers by this point though), and didn’t realize they were firing on South Dakota (which did absolutely nothing during the battle but would steal all the credit in the news coverage afterwards; not the first time this particular battleship did something like this) until they’d already badly damaged her-and they apparently completely forgot about the other large ship they’d mis-ID’s as a cruiser, because Washington managed to get into point-blank range before she opened fire (and at that range she was LITERALLY too close to miss her shot). Kirishima never actually duelled Washington, because she never realized Washington was there until she was already sinking.
@@bkjeong4302 that is hilarious in a tragic way 😅
Kirishima (and some other ships) attacked South Dakota
Adm Callaghan's greatest error was, since he had no real training or understanding of the new radar technology, that he had placed his two ships with the best/newest radar installations (cruiser Helena and destroyer Fletcher) at rear of his force where they were least effective. Coupled with no firm battle plan and the relatively inflexible formation he used with confused communications his initial advantage of surprise was lost and the battle became a "barroom brawl".
The radar of that era but he was used to dealing with was not reliable in the conditions they were facing.
The new sets were an improvement, but you needed to know that they could be trusted.
On top of that, he knew the situation they were going into was grim, but it had to be done.
And it was not his fault that the following ship ordered stop, throwing the battle line into chaos.
For some reason everyone forgets that a 🇯🇵 Betty bomber turned into an emergency kamikaze due to fatal damage on the plane crashed into the aft bridge of San Francisco 10 hours before the battle started. This heavily wounded the XO and destroyed the radar and aft primary gun fire control director (SF's rear 8" gun turret wasn't even able to be used for the night battle as a result!!!) and conning tower for the backup command center established in case the forward bridge was completely disabled. The XO, a CDR rank, was killed later that night while in bed recovering from his wounds. He was replaced by the damage control officer, another CDR (his own damage control officer replacement was alongside McCandless the sole surviving officers ranked LCDR and above, which is shocking). 24 were killed and 70 were wounded by this Japanese Betty kamikaze on SF. McCandless would later say that that Betty attack doomed them for the night battle. As a result, there was really no hope for them to win a battle and not suffer such heavy fatalities making the "victory" kind of meaningless. They lost two admirals, two cruisers, 4 destroyers and 1400+ killed. That battle was only a victory after Washington pulled off the miracle 2 days later. The Friday the 13th battle was a disastrous defeat of Callaghan's forces.
I love the animation man! I love how you make history so good to the point I always see your videos as soon as it posts. The world needs more people like you who make boring things so entertaining. Keep the good work lad!👍👍👍
Damn, you guys really outdid yourselves with this outstanding animation on this deadly mission for both sides.
Ist wery sad
My late grandfather served on the San Francisco later in the war after the ship was repaired and retrofitted. Nice to see a video about that ship.
The second cruiser that was sunk here was USS Juneau ,Atlanta's sister ship , she was sunk shortly after the battle by a Japanese submarine. Most of the casualties faced by America at this battle were from this ship alone. Of the casualties were all five of the Sullivan brothers.
Juneau was in a mini convoy fleeing south.The other ships in the convoy reported it sunk with no survivors. So no one came to search for survivors for a few days. Survivors were found who reported that many survivors died in the water..
Naval battles are some of the coolest engagements you can ever see.
...of course, more terrifically devastating.
This is one of the most bloodiest battle story i ever heard, i salute the man from the both sides who died trying to accomplish there mission, this story, music and animations just gived me gusebumps as always an amazing job yarnhub gj.
Can you do more videos on the B17 Flying Fortress? I can’t believe how much your animations have improved since the beginning. I’ve watched you for a long time now and it’s crazy how your animations keep Getting better and better
I love how you improved the animations. The name on the ship and the show different angles of the explosions
Damn, what an intensive video and even more intense battle, I got goose bumps when the AP shells hit the USS San Francisco 🥶
Both an epic and tragic story. Glory to the sailors of both sides. Thank you Yarnhub for giving us a visual spectacle that would help us feel as if we were there. Keep up the good work and see you again, hopefully in near future.
The Guadalcanal campaign had months of brutal fighting on land and at sea. Ironbottom Sound has dozens of shipwrecks, now war graves.
The IJN Amatsukaze mentioned near the begging of this video was Captained by Tameichi Hara. He has a memoir titled 'Japanese Destroyer Captain', in which he goes into great detail about this battle and the Amatsukaze's fight for survival to return to base. He would later be put in charge of the IJN Shigure, which is often considered one of the luckiest ships of the war(the only survivor of The Battle of Surigao Straight for example); he would also captain the light cruiser IJN Yahagi, witnessing the end of the IJN Yamato(his ship would sink soon after).
Its a great book if you focus only on his actual battle experiences, not his foreshadowing of defeat and excuses that every other Japanese memoir seems to fall back on(similar to most German Memoirs as well).
Thanks to your videos I've been able to heal from depression and feel proud of what our nation has done😊
I have read about this battle several times and your illustration really brings the battle much needed clarity! Awesome work, thank you
great video awesome animation rest in peace to all brave men that died in that battle
Every animation you make never ceases to make me wonder in awe.
Imagine how terrifying it must have been so be lit up by blinding enemy spotlights on a dark stormy night
Iirc, at times the Japanese would shine the search lights in the general direction of the enemy before they even visually spotted them to blind them and disorient the enemy formation while they gained their bearing
@@hoshyro
The Japanese would also repeatedly turn their searchlights on and off while maneuvering, to make things even more confusing for their enemies (they’re going to be scanning where they last saw the searchlights, when the Japanese ship has actually repositioned with the lights off).
@@bkjeong4302 Oh true! It is scary to think about it, but for a good while the Japanese were uncontested in night raids as far as I remember, their downfall wound eventually come with the loss of the more experienced admirals as they became primary targets when their locations were known
@@hoshyro
In regards to night attacks, that had more to do with the USN learning from defeats and starting to use IJN night tactics against the IJN.
@@bkjeong4302 Ah alright alright
My God these Animations are getting better and better, thank you so much for uploading.
The Details are astonishing, I think I even saw the historcal Camo on the Atlanta that was used at that time.
I love when Yarnhub make naval videos
On the day that I watch this, it's actually Friday 13, which is perfect
It is great to see rising interest towards the naval battles around Guadalcanal. For the past few years more and more content creators have begun to shine light towards these important battles and not just talk about Midway (Drachinifiel, Montemayor, The Operations Room etc.). I think Yarnhub should do more videos about the Guadalcanal naval campaign. Perhaps do all the battles? I am especially waiting for Yarnhub's videos of Savo Island and Tassafaronga. If Yarnhub decides to make videos about these battles may I recommend making the Japanese the protagonists in these battles (usually its the Allies who are the protagonists in your videos). In the case of these battles a great idea for protagonists would be admirals Mikawa and Tanaka respectively. Keep up the good work.
Love how the ship to the right of the USS San Francisco at 10:07 is equipped with flamethrower turrets lol.
I see that too lol
Love how both y'all and Dark Seas did an episode on the USS San Francisco on the same day. Keep up great works guys
Great for the folks at World of Warships to provide these gorgeous-looking models to portray this enormous and complex scene with. The human models and animations are also looking better than ever. I thought the scene about McCandless at the bridge of the San Francisco was particularly well-done, and the floating nametags by each ship is a great touch. Great work.

Kirishima's a DD's now
Superb animation as always and would love to see 2nd part and more Pacific Naval Battles.
The whole naval element of guadanal is interesting, hopefully yarnhub can cover all of them
(Plus my personal favourite battle, north cape)
New to this channel I got recommended on TH-cam .
production value is off the hook!! and really pays homage to the men that were on those ships
This is easily the best video you guys have ever made, the quality keeps improving with every video. Keep up the good work.
Well, this was chaotic to say the least. Amazing video. I am a fan of 20th century naval history and you are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the naval content please. I really enjoy it.
I'm running out of words to describe how good these productions are.
I've got to say, this may easely be the best naval battle video in this channel, which is a lot to say. Really, great video
Great animation, great voice acting, great story telling.
I'm surprised the Japanese didn't take the win here, it seems like they took two hits and gave up.
A lot of Japan’s failures in WW2 were from failing to press on an attack
@@sayhallo3769
So they say, but in a lot of these cases there were extenuating circumstances that would have made a Japanese victory unlikely, or at least pyrrhic. Samar is a good example of the Japanese supposedly giving up a golden opportunity that actually didn’t quite exist (as even with Third Fleet under Halsey drawn off with a decoy they would still have had to deal with air attacks from the other two Taffy groups, the main body of Seventh Fleet under Kinkaid and Oldendorff moving north to intercept, and the fact a significant proportion of the American landing forces had already landed).
@@bkjeong4302 Samar was lost automatically because the americans had air supremacy over the entire pacific. A lot of fights at Guadalcanal could have been turned into a victory by bombarding Henderson, which may not have won them the war but it would make the war more difficult for the Americans.
They tried again and again and ended up losing 600+ aircraft and most of the highly trained crews as well.The main problem was that Rabual was too far from Gaudancanal it took hours to get there and back and they did not have much time to fight when they finally got there and to add insult to injury most of the pilots and crews were lost many killed by the natives or ended up drowning. That was the real turning point of the Pacific war they lost almost all their trained carrier pilots because of the bad decision to have them fly sorties from so far away where they could not recover them when they were shot down instead of using army or other pilots they never recocered and spent the rest of the war without their best carrier pilots.@@sayhallo3769
The transition 👌👌 just on point seeing the infirmary shells impact the uss San Francisco was so mind blowingly beautiful
Brilliant animation! You guys should get an award or something
OMG, the naval battles in this channel keep getting better and better. I love it
Thank you for your videos they tell me everything about little history stories and I love them keep it up. Yarnold hopefully you get added to the game
Awesome video as always guys. Just one small quibble though. Torpedos are launched from the aft most tube first and going forward from launchers so they don’t land on each other due to the ship moving forward. Otherwise fantastic as always. Can’t wait for more.
Another amazing video about a time period I love. Great video!
Thnx for making another great naval vid, guys! Now I’ve got an idea of how desperate the U.S. Pacific Fleet was to maintain control of the waters surrounding Guadalcanal!
Since it’s about to be October, could y’all do a Halloween special or horror-themed story? Also, maybe more vids about flying aces from both world wars?
The US did maintain control in the area, but thanks to Henderson Field.
The entire reason these battles happened at night was because the Japanese were coming in by night to evade air attacks. But this meant they couldn’t bring anything slow (and they also couldn’t bring anything especially large in confined waters; even the Kongos were pushing the envelope), and they didn’t have enough time to resupply troops.
every time I see a video you post about the navy I watch it without wasting time before watching
This is insane! The animation and cool narrative are perfect combo for every Yarnhub videos
Bravo Yarnhub. This video retelling makes this chaotic battle so vivid and finally clear(er). Maybe my favorite Yarnhub video thus far. Simply amazing.
Amazing content that you deliver, the animations are gorgeous and on top i learn very much! all in all magnificent video!
ive been watching you since i was 5 and ive since love your history videos, hope you get a million subs!
i love so much your naval histories videos!!
Brilliant video ! Described the battle clearly and giving context by using animation so well.
I absolutely love this channel, it's the best page on TH-cam, keep up the fantastic work on your page ❤
One of my favorite battles in the Guadalcanal campaign.
You already Master the art of outstanding animation. Keep up that good work 👍
What a way to tell a good story.... and a lot of aditional good stories on the comments... thank you very much!!
That turret turnaround at 6:12 looked horrifying. Night battles are pretty frightening, especially when it often leads to friendly fire.
Thank you!! 👍🙂🙂
I requested this video, there is so much content you can do with the battles of Guadalcanal.
I do enjoy your channel so so much!!
Thank's again 👍👍
As I grow older I have come to recognize more strongly what did as a young man, the ability to tell a story is the most basic human super power. Your stories keep alive the sacrifice of those who fought for their families and nation, and ultimately the privilege I have of the freedom of the USA. We’re not a perfect nation and have an ongoing responsibility to our veterans to do our best to pass on the next generation a stronger and more just nation than we inherited. Thanks again, I very much enjoy your work.
Sounds good. But Freedom aint something You have today. Your country limits good information from You. Shuts You down when ever You go against them and lies to You to keep You using You how ever they want to.

thank you yarnhub
Just finished todays playing of WoWS and I didnt blink for entire clip (which was short)... All mentioned vessels are premium ships in game... So few battles of the steel ships happened in history, and thousands happened with sailships... There are many ppl like me, crazy about ww2 or ww1 sea battles, yet just a handfull of good movies about it. Even this 10minutes clip meant a lot. Keep up with greeeaaaat work...
i love watching your guys video quality constantly on the rise. Each new video feels more realistic and brings rise to more emotions as i find myself more involved in the story. This was brilliant and i feel like a big Milestone for you guys. the voice-overs such as "fire!" and other orders by the characters has improved aswell. always loved the videos and its great to see you reaxh new heights
I love your stories!❤ Bravo, well done!👏 Do one on Musical Box!😊
this was the best one yet every video gets better and better keep up the goodwork
Very good video and story first naval battle guadacanal can wait next content about second naval battle guadacanal
The videos just get better and better! I am so excited for the next video!!
Nice to see this battle animated you should do John basil one next who won the Medal of Honor on the ground campaign of Guadalcanal
This video was like no other. It literally gave me goosebumps, I just felt like I was inside the video. Great, great work, yarnhub! looking forward to the new videos which im sure are gonna just as great or even better!
I was just watching a video on the Japanese torpedoing of those two battleships and this came out at 30 past noon, Fantastic
The video quality has been increasing rapidly, have been watching this channel for little over a year now! Please keep making amazing videos ❤
Hey yarnhub love your stories and ever improving graphics, Keep em coming
I love your videos! The animation just keeps getting better! Keep up the good work!
I thought to myself this was World of Warships level production with the models and then the sponsorship confirmed it haha
You guys are amazing, Thanks a lot for the video. Many people do not know what happened in the Pacific theatre in WW2. For some people, WW2 means allies vs. Germany only. Those who know a bit of history from all sides (Eastern Front, Western Front, African Front, Pacific Theatre and other fronts), those people know how important the Pacific theatre was. All the greatest naval battles happened in this theatre. Thanks again for enlightening us. Love from Canada, eh!
Exceptional video as always and every one is better than the one before
Holy the cinematic quality man
Love you videos and it is a great history lesson. Especially when you don't know this part of the WW2.
Well done Yarnhub! You reached 800k subscribers! I can't bare seeing the 799k anymore...
This is such a great channel, love all the work you put into it, keep it up! BTW, I love y’all’s tank vids, they are my favorites. Could you make a video about something in the Moscow campaign.
I think something you fail to mention is that the previous engagement wa the battle of Tsavo Island, AKA the worst loss in the US navy post pearl harbour
Edit: Ok I guess I was wrong
No, this was the First Big night battles of Guadalcanal which is directly after Battle of Cape Esperance, which Battle of Cape Esperance is directly after 1st Battle of Savo Island
VERY GOOD VIDEDO YARN HUB, YOUR RIGHT THIS ONE WAS VERY CONFUSSING ONE AND NOTHING MORE THAN A BIG BRAWL AT ALMOST POINT-BLANK RANGE
thanks for curing my boredom with amazing content
Bit of a mistake at 3:16 - a ship (looks like a destroyer, presumably Akatsuki) incorrectly labelled as IJN Kirishima. It also seems like there are three battleship silhouettes in the force as opposed to two.
Good video nevertheless. Trying to make sense of those chaotic night battles is not easy.
I clearly see 4 battleship silhouettes at 0:44 - every battleship in the foreground is followed by a similar ship.
Love your vids keep it up!❤❤❤
I lost a cousin on the USS Barton when it was torpedoed by the Amatsukaze. It was strange to read about it when reading "Japanese Destroyer Captain".
Thank you for keeping the story of the man and woman in history alive
A bit too well lit for a night time battle. But other than that, flawless.
Yes yes yes I love it when you make naval battle videos they are truly the most underrated epic tales of heroism and importance please keep making them.
They kept their word to the fighters on the Canal no matter the cost . Thank You and God bless .
AMAZING
This is an awesome video.
