Hello. Hmm when coming submarine to world of warships legends?
@@pascalzorodelo1585 you'd have to ask the Legends developers.
@Adolf Hitler Hello, Adolf. You should read the 1st Amendment to understand what free speech is. Whining about WG not allowing free speech only shows that you want to deny them their right to free speech.
@Adolf Hitler Hello, Adolf. You said nothing about their business practices. You only mentioned free speech. What rule of theirs did they violate?
@Adolf HitlerHello, Adolf. You still haven't shown what rule they violated. You claim to have proof so show it.
An hour from my house. Last year, during record flooding, the Batfish actually floated off her resting spot. Quick work by park staff and emergency services, managed to get her moored in a makeshift manner, preventing her from making her last sortie.
Yeah I’m from OKC I remember that
Bro same I also live a hour away and I remember that flood I was worried for the sub
Some of that steel on the outside doesn't look to good.
Dr Phloxx if you think that doesn’t look good you should look at the clamagore
there is a rare variety of this class of submarine with the guppy 3 modification there is only one left and unfortunately it’s museum is going to turn into an artificial reef
I am a former Nuclear submarine sailor in the USN, and while traveling home to Oklahoma I saw the sign on the side of Interstate Hwy 40 for "Batfish". I stopped to visit it and I was amazed that even though it had been a memorial since the early 70's, it still smelled like a submarine. You can never kill that boat smell!
They don't call them sure pipe sailors for nothing. AT1 CVN69 USS Eisenhower, ship's company.
I am proudly a sewer pipe sailor! SSBN658 and SSBN 625
Great video, Naval Legend vids are really some of the best the WoWS YT has to offer!

Hello Flamu
That right flamu happy birthday to America day in 2020🗽🗽🗽🎇🎇🎇🎆🎆🎆🧨🧨🧨💥💥💥😁😁😁🤞🤞🤞
July 4th birthday to America day
Yeah. Also things like those sales to get money to repair USS Batfish are great about this game. Those are the moments I feel proud of this community. And then there is the actual gameplay, CVs state and so on and the shitstorm starts :D
Back in late eighties my wife daughter and I went to see Batfish. It was closed for some work on the building. There was a original crew member there who was a staff volunteer. We talked he was surprised that I knew Batfish history. He let me have run of the boat. I even went the
Batteries and bilge. When I came topside I had many questions of which the old sailor patiently answered. I think myself very lucky.
My grandfather served on this ship. I'm grateful people are still interested!
Went on her with my dad when I was a child. Sweet memory. I love and miss you, dad.
The thing about submarines is that in most cases, either none of the crew dies, or the entire crew dies.
Àm great ⁴
"50% of the time, it works every time."
For both Germany and the US, the submarine branch sustained the highest levels of casualties of any other military branch in WWII.
The Germans lost like almost 30,000 kriegsmarines.
The bond of a Submarine crew last for a very long time, When I retired from the U.S. Navy in 2004, both Pacflt and SubPac were both prior Captains of mine and for some odd reason still liked me. Nothing like being a Chief and calling a 3-Star and a 4-Star by their first names. Come to think of it, I knew the first name of every Captain I ever sailed under.
For the record, a Submarine batter that gets flooded out produces Chlorine gas and Hydrogen gas. The Hydrogen self burns at 4% atmosphere and self detonates at 8% atmosphere.

@BC Bob When in civies, yes.
@@jeffallen3382 If you really thankful for my service, call your Congressmen and Senators and tell them to fully fund the VA and other veteran programs. Thank you.
@@jeffallen3382 Good, thank you
@BC Bob The Silent Service is not run like regular Navy. It is much less formal. Only officer i might use 'sir' to was to the Captain, junior officers not hardly at all up to and including my own engineer. Beards are a regular thing to grow.
Salt water equals Chlorine gas! You get Hydrogen from charging. Did my Quals in Aug 1967. Thanks for your service Chief!

1. This episode is amazing as always
2. Incorporated animated humans, wow
I live near where the Batfish resides in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and as someone who loves this boat and her history, thank you to World of Warships and its players for your contributions toward saving our sub! The money raised by WoW will go a very long way toward preserving and restoring her for the next generation.
I love these Naval Legends videos, but whoever is in charge of the cinematics, they deserve a raise. Very good and exciting entertainment. Thanks for the 4th of July video
WoWS had event a while ago when the USS Batfish moved from its mount during a flood. If you donated to restore USS Batfish to its mount you were given a Patch with the Batfish logo on it. Got mine and display it from time to time. Looks pretty cool.
I am also one of them, my children have walked her decks as did I. I want to help her more, restore her....
I’m so glad we have saved so many of our historical naval vessels from the scrapper. People for generations get to enjoy these great vessels that fought for our freedom
Imagine if the voice actor for Batman went to this submarine. “Batman has visited Batfish!”
And he fights an oversized batfish
I would have enjoyed BatGirl a LOT more
CR BZ corona beer
Hilarious 🙄
That tour guide in the submarine was amazing.
A little clarification on the explanation of the battery compartment at 7:15. Lead acid batteries do not produce nitrogen, and nitrogen is not toxic. Batteries produce hydrogen, which is explosive. Hydrogen is normally produced during charging, caused by the dissociation of water in the electrolyte into hydrogen and oxygen. These gases are vented overboard during charging, which is done on the surface using the air breathing diesel engines. Battery maintenance includes testing the specific gravity of the electrolyte and adding water and/or acid when necessary. I believe the confusion occurs because if seawater enters the battery spaces, chlorine gas is produced, which is toxic.
"Didn't work very well" -biggest understatement of WW2
more like the greatest understatement of all time. Honestly they should have just shot harsh language from a speaker. In all honesty it would have been more effective...
I enlisted in the Naval Reserve in 1968. I performed drills on reserve destroyer USS Hyman (DD-732) at Naval Support Activity New Orleans before I started basic training and active duty. I remember the USS Batfish moored to decrepit old docks near the Hyman in the Mississippi River. Being curious, I even boarded her one time, climbing down a ladder and surprising a caretaker. I wish I had known her storied history during my brief visit.
Thanks guys, we are pretty proud of the Batfish here in landlocked Oklahoma, vicarious honor it was selected for the Independence Day salute! The brave mariners that manned her will always be proud
Visited the Batfish more than once in 2013 while working at the Muskogee VA. Could smell the diesel fuel after all those years gone by. Nice video.
Barbell class here, That dive alarm made me Wana reach for some valves to turn. Aruuuga Dive Dive!
Submarines once, Submarines twice,.... etc, etc, etc! :-)
I've been on the Batfish twice. I absolutely loved the experience. Being inside her gives you an appreciation for how 80 men lived in very close quarters.
The Batfish is still under repairs after the big floods in Oklahoma in spring 2019. The War Memorial Park in Muskogee is opened on weekends. Even though it is not possible to board the sub right now, the museum is full of wonderful history and is well worth a visit. Getting the Batfish ship shape again has been a long process. Hopefully this fall repair and restoration efforts will get back underway.
The suborning is able to be boarded at this time
@@barrett2724 I speak with the people who run the museum on a regular basis and at this time it still needs a lot of restoration and is not able to be boarded.
So irl Chris Pratt didn't become the Dino Trainer of Jurassic World...
He became the fish trainer of USS Batfish Museum
My grandfather was a torpedo man on the Batfish during WWII. He passed away a few years ago at 93. There are some really cool pictures of the sub in his house.
Awesome! My grandfather as well served on the Batfish during the second world war. May your grandpa rest in peace.
To both your grandfathers thanks for there service
Excellent vid! It reminds me of that channel that _USED_ to give us good WW2 documentaries before somehow deciding that we'd rather watch people take things into a pawn shop.
Indearing telling of some of the ships history. Very lucky craft. Skillful and blessed craws. Thanks Batfish. Well done 👍.
Oops I to say crew's
Thanks for not dragging me for the mistake. 👍
The original torpedoe's were terrible and the navy yard refused to believe it.
they are not in a sub to know if torps are horrible. A-hole Navy yard
@@smokyblackeyes3615 ummm can you translate that into English?
Imagine how much different the early Pacific War campaign might have been had all of those early torpedo hits exploded?
Mike Scott: so true. Ordinance was so wrong. Who knows how much American blood they have on their hands.
US Navy Submarine Service
And remarkably even with the inexcusable failure of the ordinance department in regard to the Mark 14 and the 2 years it took to correct it, the the US Navy Submarine Service managed to reduce the IJN and the Japanese merchant fleet to near extinction.
So in less than 3 years we sank 5.3 million tons of shipping.
With a loss of 52 boats and 3,305 men.
Our Navy does not consider them lost, " They are on Eternal Patrol."
"They did what we don't do anymore...MATH!!!"
I was just gonna comment about how fucking boomer that was lol
But accurate, sadly.
He's going to be very disappointed when he meets the boys who build the technology that removes the need for that math.
@@n111254789 They already did...it's called CAD!!!
we still use math on "atom smashers"
I live near the Batfish and have enjoyed visiting it since I was a kid. The Batfish is in trouble now and needs or help. It was damaged by flooding and has a go fund me account. Please help the Batfish.
how ironic
Done.
I'm 30 mins away from this legend.
Best WW2 submarine documentary in many decades. A great learning experience.
14:00
If you (the viewer) haven't already, do yourself a favour and watch Drachinifel's video on the Mk. 14
If we had working torpedoes before ww2 we may have beaten japan by 1943.
The answer to critical questions like "What was the Mark 14?" and "Why was the Mark 14?"
@@theoneinthebackground4209 Should have, could have, would have, didnt...(not necessarily in that order)
@C B Thank you!!!!
"The torpedoes used on US submarines demonstrated very poor efficiency due to their technical imperfections"
I was wondering if they were going to bring up the Mark 14 in this video. A bit of an understatement to their early performance issues.
The difficulties were addressed
i dunno, mentioning the fact that the torpedo sunk it's own sub is really not an understatement. Torpedoes aren't meant to that do that.
One US submarine fired 15 torpedoes at a Japanese cargo ship. 2 torpedoes missed, but they heard 13 "CLANG!"s as they bounced off the ships hull! They didn't fire their 16th (last) torpedo. They returned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and nearly fired the last torpedo at the Navy Ordinance Office, but figure it wouldn't go off anyway!
I spent the night on this sub in cub scouts, pretty amazing
The Best and most thorough documentary about subs during WW2
Such a nice show, my wife and myself visited the Batfish twice while we lived in Vinita OK, it's the only sub I've ever been on
Great documentary, some of if not the best CG I've seen employed for a WW2 documentary. Great job art department, you did it again 👏
“There will never be submarines in World of Warships”
Remember when they said this over and over again?
I've already started playing other games. So sick and tired of all these new OP ships that can hit you w/o being hit back. Battlestar Galatica Online did the same thing...killed the game.
@@johnbates7422 but that's just like in real life back in ww2
@@johnbates7422 and I have an air craft carrier in wow
@@matthewwilson5019 If you think that's what submarine warfare was like in WWII I suggest you find some books on the subject.
@@johnbates7422 Yeah, been playing console to get the old nostalgia of the time before carriers, and I sort of miss them and sort of don't.....as for submarines, they aren't for world of ships, the main issue is the fact that how OP they are, which makes sense seeing as how if your team doesn't have anyone attempting to hunt them they can get away with alot of bullshit. I believe the main issue is that anti submarine weapons and tactics usually involve a fleet being able to focus on killing one target. If you add in the fact that 14 other ships are in the area firing on you, trying to coordinate your side into focusing on a sub is extremely difficult....
As a resident of Muskogee, OK. This is a welcome video. Reminds me of how lucky we are to have such history in our midst. The last "Great MidWest Flood" disturbed the Batfish's resting place, but nonetheless. Thank you for the video.
America: We had cruise control at this point...
Japan: would you like to search the whole Pacific and Atlantic for submarine aircraft carriers?
kek, fumching undersea war crimes
Check 2 cities in 🇯🇵 first its easy to see. The sleeping Giants foot steps are still visible to this day. We have a pearl in the pacific that reminds us of you.
Check video at 13:03. They had a lot more than cruise control. Also, submarine carriers are a shitty poor man's balistic missile submarine.
Haven't been back to her in some years but got to be part of her "relief crew" volunteering on maintenance days for several years. Great ship to visit with a lot of history to go with it.
This is a great story to remember, the sailors that risk their lives during VWII to become heroes due to their achievements, thank you for the well prepared documentary, JV
Well done guys. Another EXCELLENT work. History channel eat your heart out. I dig everything you guys have done over the years. It gets better and I just love it. Thanks again.
I remember my mom and dad taking us to the BATFISH to tour her back in the 80's. I was blown away as kid. Always enjoyed to see the boat. I hope to take my son to see her. I believe she is last submarine to have sub kills from WWII to present day. No other U.S. sub has a kill that's not classified from what I understand. (🇺🇸USS BATFISH GET SOME!!🇺🇸⚓⚓⚓)
This presenter made the information fascinating, I may be Japanese but these brave men did a difficult job with professionalism to be respected for all time.
Great video for this son of a balao class vet, served on 343 clamagore. Rare treat to tour with him the pampanito in san fran ship museum.
Thanks for the vid World of Warships for making this video on the Iconic WWII Balao-class American Submarine!
I’ve been to see this beauty twice! I can’t wait to go back.
Thank you for this lovely episode!
Pretty cool. I had no idea that Batfish had been preserved as a museum ship, much less how it would wind up in Oklahoma. But I've toured the USS Pampanito a couple of times. And it's really amazing to see these boats in person... even mores when you stop and realize just how crowded it must have been with 80+ crew versus a just couple dozen spectators.
WWII truly was the greatest generation of Americans. I'm proud of my country and would die for it. I salute you crew of the USS Batfish, they're on eternal patrol now.
Me Too, But:
America certainly was justified with War on Japan .... Germany? NO, We should have known that after the First Traitor Bastard 'Skidmore' Wilson did More damage to this Country with the Luciferian Zionist Orchestrated "Federal Reserve Act," the 17th, 19th Amendments and suckered us into WW 1 where We had NO Business.
The next and Worst Traitor POS Franklin D. Roosevelt did All he could to provoke War with Japan Just for the excuse of War with Germany which he also guaranteed with Every provocation against them least of which was Lend-Lease to Britain but exported 3 times more War material to "Uncle Joe" Stalin's Bolshevik USSR than he did to England for the specific reason of Exterminating Germany for the Zionist Banker Scum who would Not exist today but for America's entry into the European Theater and the Whole World would Not be experiencing ""Their"" soon to be One World Luciferian Government which Germany was Only trying to prevent because They Knew.
I'm pretty certain that if the American, British, Canadian and French Troops landing on Normandy's beaches June 6th, 1944 could have seen what their countries would become 76 years later, Most if not all would have joined with Germany to make sure it would NEVER happen!!
Germany was the Last Christian Crusade for Western Civilization's Existence of which Very few even know because of the Zionist Deceit, Lies and deception of Everything Germany was Truly about even today with their constant and incessant Lies and Propaganda for the newer generations brainwashing. The "Tribe" is in a Panic because the Truth is getting known which is why All the censorship Everywhere especially )h-oo-Toob is picking up pace and why ""They"" have orchestrated this "COVID 19" which is a acronym for "Certificate Of Vaccination ID 2020" which it Will be when "Their" minions of Gates, Fauci, Birx, the UN and even N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo the Communist unleash the Next Round of the Plandemic/Scamdemic which ALL will see and feel like Nothing Ever before experienced in human history. The next 2 - 3 years will be a Murderous Purge by these Satanists that will be blamed on EVERYTHING but the actual cause: the 60 Ghz "5G'' zapping that will be unleashed in the next 6 months .........
Went to College in Muskogee back in the day. We used to take lanterns, beer and a CD player and party in that thing!
I always wait for another naval legends episode to know more about them
Great episode, thanks very much!
I toured the Batfish about 25 years ago I think. I'm not really sure This story put together is amazing. I need to go back.
Love these clips. Keep them up👍
having been inside naval vessels from ww1 to ww2 period, the engineering and workmanship that has gone into every single component still blows my mind. Also, to have designed everything without any computers as we know it today.
Took my kids to see the batfish they remember to this day and a very cool place to go...
Excellent presentation. I’m from Oklahoma and enjoyed this very much 🇺🇸
Crazy this is essentially in my back yard and I haven't been by to see it. So much history to it. I know she was at risk when the river flooded a few years back. I'll need to make a stop by 😁😁
That is a beautiful piece of history. Great job on the video.
Three Japanese submarines sunk in three days... I don't know of a Las Vegas bookie who wouldn't give a 500-to-1 odds of that, then cry come pay-off day. ~_^
Code breakers sent them information on the subs course and destination. They were ambushed.
In a sea of horror and sinking ships, be one brave tin can.
In all honesty a beautiful Naval Legends episode. Happy birthday America!
Been to that museum as a kid. Gonna take my daughter some time. I recommend it to anyone interested in ww2. Beautiful sub
Ive been on this submarine !!! I was working on a telecom site there. This is so cool...
I like these videos. Can you do one for Akagi?
given how Akagi is not in game I doubt it. They may release her as a premium eventually and then do one but thats the only way I would expect to see her on the series unfortunately. Still, Akaki is psycho yandere but still adorable.
Wonderful. Informative. Thank you.
Great show of history, loved it.
Wow great presentation. I still cant believe my game gives me history stories about the legends. Well done.
Awesome tribute love it look forward to more
wow, a full 25min documentary
this chanell is better than my teacher in explaining this things.
Phenomenal Video.
Very enjoyable to watch! Well done!
I've been on the Batfish 3 times. It's a great experience.
Went to visit her some years back. Definitely an experience just to be inside.
Holy Hallelujah!
Thank you
The next naval legend episode should be USS pampanito in Frisco!
I gotta thanks the Wargaming for giving me and others the opportunity to help preserve this historical ship. Thank you, Wargaming, and keep providing us the opportunity to donate to another ship like Batfish and Texas.
Live right down the road from the USS batfish
Nice to see another naval legends vid 🤚✋
This video was exceptionally done. I just wish the same effort put into this video was put into the Bismarck video.
Great story as always. Thanks.
Could you do a naval legends on USS Intrepid?
Also keep up the good work
You- demands
Most people - ask
I would like to see one, my grandfather served on her.
Interpid? Wasnt one of her nickname 'the blue ghost' (like enterprises 'grey ghost')?
@Equnoxe yes, exactly, Doomer
@Equnoxe we know how to treat people, you guys run when someone looks in your direction! 😅😅😅
Very informative video and enjoyed it a lot. The USS Drum came to Mobile, AL in 1969 I believe it was along side the battleship Alabama. Both vessels have exemplary service records. The Drum was pulled out of the water like the Batfish.
That guy puts it so well, no one ever died on the batfish. What a tremendous submarine
Excellent presentation 5 Stars
ive read about all of this 100 times, but its still entertaining to see a video on it. as a sonar tech, this stuff is not just really interesting to me, but part of my job.
From Muskogee know both the guys in the video and I visit the ship often great people and a very well taken care of peace of important history
One of the Museum boats I haven't gotten to yet. So glad she wasn't lost in last years floods.
Very educative video.
Nice to watch and interesting.
I would Like to see more Naval Legend Episodes cause I want to learn almost everything about Naval History. Its somthing I would request.
She can still float!! Go batfish. .
Really well done. Entertaining and educational backstories and provenance provided by Mr. Trout.
My Grandfather served as an officer on the Batfish during the second world war. Remember him talking about it when I was a kid.
Great post, thanks!
A very interesting video. Many thanks. Just one thing! At 7:34, you mention two gases, produced by (the batteries) coming into contact with flooding sea water. Hydrogen and Nitrogen.
Hydrogen is explosive. The other gas is Chlorine, and it is poisonous. Nitrogen is an important component gas in the air that we breath. The other gas that was toxic in high concentrations was breathed out CO2.
A Very Special Thank You to the crew of the U.S.S. Tang who lost their lives through No fault of their own.
For the U.S.S. Batfish and All the other Boats of America's Silent Service especially those still and Forever on Eternal Patrol ---- God's Blessing Always be upon You ALL!
