I really like how you showed all the pictures of the men at the end. It really helps it sink in that these were real people with real lives and they sacrificed everything to contribute to our freedom. Much respect and tytyty /tips hat
As a retired vet taps always gives me a lump in my throat especially now that it's the 4th of July and I think of all the service men who fought and died on land or sea. Your subject matter is great and your videos are getting better. Never mind the nay sayers you don't need another narrator your doing just fine. Thank for your hard work in producing these videos for us to enjoy. #satisfied 💯👍🏻👍🏻
@@jensnobel5843 I admire your thoughtfulness of your friends and their service. No matter the nation or branch of service ,the ones that are there by our side performing the same duties with our lives on the line there exists a bond that will never be broken.
Thank you for a great history of the Growler. Commander Gilmore was the first submariner to receive the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions as he chose to be the last man to leave the bridge and sacrificed his life. I was a crew member of the last Growler, SSG-577, which has a rich history during the cold war and can be toured and visited today in New York City at the Intrepid Museum. When ever the remaining crew members get together we have a ceremony and toll a bell in memory of lost boats and crews.
Thank you for your service. Actually, I had the privilege of being a tour guide on her in the 90's. Good times. I've heard they don't offer guided tours anymore, which is a shame.
I'll be putting together a model of the SSGN Growler in a few weeks. Is there any detail or quote, or awards I should add to it's display that might be uncommon knowledge? I'd be happy to add them.
This was very well done. I think it needs to be repeated for all 52 boats that were lost, in WW 2. As a former submariner, this meant a lot to me, thank you.
Great video. I actually live in Brisbane Australia. Coincidentally my grandfather's service ship is dry docked at Musgrave dry dock. It's the HMAS Diamantina. His ashes were laid to rest within. Thanks for bringing this story close to home for me
I am a Growler not a 215 Growler but a 577 Growler, yeah the one in the Intrepid Museum, NY,NY. To correct a huge error, a Growler Fish is a member of the Perch family and common in the USA.
Wonder how many submariners died due to faulty torpedos...was a known problem..shame and sad..could you discuss situations where the torpedos caused an early demise to our subs?
Good to see these Pacific battles and attacks given some light. They seem to be kept in low profile, perhaps because of their resemblance to the condemned U boat campaigns.
Meisha wright close to 20 years old. Overwhelming vast majority would be 25 and under. Where's the few Grandpa's of 30 to 35. And a great grandpa 21 being right about 40 and the other one being late 30s. Say this with the utmost respect. No play on words. Add live would be the great grandfather's. Go Army and these were the terms for a really old people, who are about the same shoes that we were. We refer to the really old guys in the late late twenties and maybe 30 or 31 years of age as Grandpa. One attached to our unit was grandma. The first sergeant looking back there's probably over 40. The captain was probably early thirties. I remember laughing when I got to that stage of early thirties, because some of the fresh recruits for thinking of me as Grandpa. My whole point is if your grandpa at 30 + a - a couple of years, and juice exemplifies how you own all these people were. Real them such a debt. All those who lost their lives fighting and those who lived through it with whatever injuries they may have had. Even the ones you appear to have no injuries, memories that will haunt them. So if nothing else will ever holiday now it's the fourth of July Independence Day let's remember these men we have this submarine or just any ship or other military service. For now years women have served in combat roles and and combat support roles have been killed and or wounded. So whatever day of the year especially holiday let's remember holidays they missed out on. Veteran's Day memorial Day and Independence day all memorial to our fall and service personnel men and women. Also those that survived and come on as well. It doesn't matter that many of them would be a hundred years old and most likely gone anyway. They did not have y'all changing the grow old. And many more reasons including these let's remember them at least in general. Christmas holidays those are the special family holidays were there not present. Birthday present that they all gave us is our freedom. Thank you.

@@Norvvid Just confirmed with the tour director that the daily Growler tours are still in effect! Thanks for the comments.

@@craftpaint1644 No "N", just plain old diesel boat - SSG 577. The Halibut was the only Regulus boat that had a nuclear power plant.
A very moving documentary.
All so young.

Each submarine sunk almost always to all hands , sadly ! We can only imagine what these crews had to endure !
Really appreciate the pictures of both men and the ships in your videos. Really adds to the story and challenges these men and equipment faced.
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
The only TH-camr who has ever pronounced “Gato” correctly. Thank you hidden history. Your authenticity shines through once again!
Keeps getting Rabaul wrong though lol
Love you
How's dat spoken then mate?
As a former tin can sailor i respect the ww2 submariners they had big balls lol. I dont think i could've done sub duty.
Thank you for your service! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
As the old lads from Top Gear taught, Growler is a British slang for "those welcome mats you saw on girls in the '70s"
Are you talking about a tatoo?
Thanks!

Thank you to him for his service, an American hero! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
@@HiddenHistoryYT Thank you for enhancing his photo! I'll add it to the family tree.
Thank you to these brave men, and the others, who sacrificed their lives for their country!
Brave men indeed! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
The USS Submarine named After Ice that scrapes along the side of ships; Growlers.
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)

Ya I can look into that! I did a video on the torpedo issue itself (th-cam.com/video/JJxswaEBq4A/w-d-xo.html)

Didn't know the Japanese used 50cal.
Man I love your content, like it is top tier, but please hire a narrator.
And I mean that in the nicest way possible bc I love your channel
Well done video but the commercial in the middle of role call was rude and disrespectful.
I don’t control that!
Nice growler…🙄
Who named this u-boat?
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)

Indeed! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
