Yo, been following you two for a lil minute now and you’re absolutely right on the algorithm. You weren’t popping up as much for me pretty recently, and I really enjoy watching your reactions… y’all funny for real. But yeah, this video popped up and it’s still good content. Keep it going and keep pushing out the fire content.
@@chillwithbitty My favorite video of The Fat Electrician is, "The Most Gangster Politician of All Time-Cassius Marcellus Clay". You two will really like that one!
Thats his whole agenda really, he makes these videos talking this way because he wants to be a history teacher as well. He legit has students messaging him for research on school projects on the issue
@@TreyM1609 lol for sure bud, the geneva convention was written after WW1 because of Canadians antics in the trenches, the germans were terrified of our storm troopers for a reason, had a good take no survivors policy and lots of sneaky, nasty tricks that they had to write some rules aboot after there eh.
The fat electrician and habitual line crosser are both very knowledgeable about military operations and history. They also do great work explaining the stories while injecting humor into their videos so us normal folks can grasp what is being talked about. Love both channels
I was there. The tanker escort mission was called Operation Earnest Will. When we would enter or leave the gulf through the Straits of Hormuz, Iran would light us up with their Silkworm missile radars. And steaming around in mined waters is rather nerve-racking. I was on the USS Merrill (DD-976), SAG B, during this engagement. We gave them a 15-minute warning in English, then farsi (we had a CT onboard who spoke farsi), then in English, then in Farsi, then he finished it with, "Have a nice day." Of course we all cheered at that. Afterwards, we gave them a 10-minute warning, a 5-minute warning, then we told them, "We are opening fire, is everyone off the platform?" They said, "We are not leaving." So, we opened fire. We fired 2 rounds before they fired back with a 22mm chain gun. Our Fire Controlman took care of that with one shot, as Nic said. Yes, he was THAT good. We were supposed to fire 5 or 10 rounds, then the Lynde B. McCormick was supposed to do the same. We were supposed to trade off until finished. We wound up doing all the shooting on the Sassan oil platform because Lynde B. McCormick's gun had dropped sync and was "walking" and they couldn't fix it in time. After the engagement we had a joke: How does the Ayatollah inspect his fleet... Glass Bottomed boat. The Soviet Udaloy destroyer was gathering intel. I love Nic's presentation. I've seen most of his videos and they are awesome.
Same, have shown my dad several of his videos, notably the F15 one as... he worked at Boeing for.... errrrrr 30 years? Ok more so McDonnell Douglas, but if you know you know.
He's the history teacher kids need. One of the reasons I LOVE history is my sixth grade teacher Maureen Smith. She was beautiful and so passionate about history. She inspired all of her students
@@Karhald Its kinda fitting for Americans when you think about it. The bald eagle sounds ridiculous and prefers to bully smaller birds. But when push comes to shove they can throw down.
Hey for better or worse we’ve been a stabilizing force in the world for a long time. Personally I’m kind of afraid to see what’s going to fill the power vacuum now that we’ve lost most our teeth.
My History Teacher wasnt like him but she was an amazing one! For the History of Japan we did a Risk style Game. Instead of rolling Dice she would ask questions relating to The Empires of Japan. If you got it wrong you lost an Army. got it Right they lost the Army. was fun asf and i learned the Japanese are not Native to the Islands of Japan. The Ainu are.

@@YOLO891 I mean, calculus was invented in the 1600s, thats all you really need to go to the moon. It was a lot less computing, more raw math that multiple geniuses were calculating and verifying on paper before ever launching the rocket.
@@YOLO891 Don't need computing power for that. Just engineering skills. We made goddamned nuclear bombs in the 40's, what's so hard to believe about making a big rocket? Also, fun fact: there is a specific technology that would be needed in YOUR claim that we actually didn't have back then: the capability to fake video footage of people on the moon. That would require video editing and processing power that we actually didn't have back then.
@YOLO891 Because humans did the calculations. That's what the term computer comes from. People who did computations were called computers. You can make all of the calculations years before the moon launch. You aren't making on the fly calculations with space flight. That's why it worked lol.
@@chaosapple7771 exactly, and even if you were making those calculations on the fly, as was the case with Apollo 13, it's 40 physicists and engineers back in Houston doing it on slide rulers then sending the results to the crew.
What's crazy is we all complain about our country but when another Navy or military gets a little frisky every American immediately goes "pull up then" America is like a drunk aunt. I'm allowed to bad mouth her behind her back but everyone else can watch they mouth. 😂
@@AngelaC.-iz4ts this here is the best description of our country as a whole. we mess with each other cause we're bored, but go ahead an let someone else try that...game on.
@@theghostofthomasjenkins9643 This is somewhat what I was going to say. I don't know who said it first, but it's along the lines of, "The worst thing you can do is to make Americans hate YOU more than they hate each other."
It's a family. Just like the military is a family. Watch a group of Marines screw with someone who was Air Force. Then watch what happens when a civilian gets involved - hint the Marines like to play rough. I'm in NJ on 9/11 the typical insults and attitude towards New Yawk went to the wayside. Anything we could do to help we did. Just look at the Boatlift - most of those boats were from NJ. We had people gearing up in case it was just the beginning. Sent a lot of first responders up there.
his in -depth knowledge of the subjects comes partly from research, and partly from the sit-reps (situational reports) and released papers regarding the operation.
Also, he usually has a comment or joke after the end credit. You will get a lot of people saying that you missed a part if you don't play it. Love the react!
Never f*ck with America's boats! My husband and I watch all of his videos together...we have notifications on for his channel, so when there's a new one, one of us will say to the other, "There's a new Fatty to watch!" 😅
Love his stuff! Whenever he releases a really long video I go make popcorn, because his long form content is damned good storytelling. Old Bastards video (77th Infantry Division) is amazing!
Now you can understand why we love our country and are very patriotic. I love that you watched this and the deep feelings you showed; show you have compassion for others!❤❤❤ Thanks for the vid!!
The Fat Electrician is a great info for military info in a funny way. "Never f*ck around witĥ American's boats" 😊 Also love the "baloney mist" reference.
This is an amazing story teller! He has a second channel called The Fat Files as well but I definitely recommend The Unsubscribe Podcast. They have a few short clips of about 10 to 15 minutes that has Nic and they are hilarious! Nothing like a few military guys drinking and slamming energy drinks and ranting. Lol!
I was on a FFG-7 Class Frigate. FFG-49 Robert G. Bradley. For their Damage Control team to be that good is crazy. We only had 1 Hull Tech and I think maybe 6 DC men. All other damage control was actually done by the entire crew. We were all trained Damage Control and trained firefighters. It's a must when the ship is your everything. As sailors, we aren't anything without our ships. Oh, it is called a SHIP not a boat. Only people allowed to call it a boat are those who have served onboard said ship. That's just out of respect.
The poor Sammy B (as she was known by her crew)DE-413 was sunk by the Japanese IJN in Oct. 1944. It's unit was called Taffy 3 and it was part of task unit 77.4.3. It was in the battle for Leyte Gulf off the island of Samar in the Philippines. The Sammy B accorded itself very bravely in that battle. It won many accomodations and awards. The U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts FFG-58 was the 3rd such vessel with that name. I'm very glad the Frigate was not sunk in its engagement with the Iranians. That would have been a sad epitaph.
Fat Electrician was probably the first content creator I followed closely watching everything week to week he did, he used to only do few minute long vids that were almost shorts, but about a year ago he started doing long form stuff and it's even better. Loved watching your reaction to his work, lot of fun! "Don't Touch My Boats" - Habitual Line Crosser
During the war, the capt of the Iranian ship that was disabled earned the nickname "capt Nasty" as he would "inspect" neutral oil tankers and more, be real friendly even dining with some of the captains.... but then when he'd depart, he would open fire on the neutral ships bridges and LIVING QUARTERS and often radio "Have a nice day" afterwards, and fleeing the area.
There's an example as far back as the early 1800s, that reminds people once again: do not touch our boats. Specifically, in the 1800s, America's navy went to war with, and destroyed most, of the Barbery pirates' fleet in the Mediterranean. After this, the first pirate war was won with an unconditional surrender.
The oil and gas we use stateside is ~85% ours (Texas/Alaska/California), and the remainder is foreign. However--all countries trade oil in US dollars...
Fat Electrician is great storyteller, funny and to the point, I love his style. You should check out his videos on “Sergeant Reckless” and “Old 666 and the eager beavers”
RR was the man. He did not play around with this kind of crap. He is the reason we have the tech. our military has today. His "star wars" project started all of this. Great man.... even greater President.
Greeting you two, my first visit to your channel. This is a dandy! Mess with the U.S. Navy and you will pay. You will pay in FULL. This video shows that perfectly! You two take care of each other AND have a great 2024. Thanks
15:00 Mark! What's sad about that is that the "McDonnal-Douglas F-4 Phantom II" was built by us and sold to the pre-Islamic Revolution government that was friendly to us. 😢 It reminds me of the Falklands War. We sold the USS Phoenix to Argentina who of course renamed it for their navy. We were neutral during that was because both sides were our friends. But anyway, a British attack submarine sank our former heavy cruiser and became the first submarine to sink a ship since World War 2! 😮
Fat Electrician is the best history teacher we never had. I've learned so much from him I didn't know, and I learned it while cracking up and being entertained! Just one recommendation I have when you react to his hilarious and educational content, try to watch all the way to the end as sometimes he has a couple of parting comments at the end even after his video is supposedly over. Enjoy! New subscriber.
my favorite video by him is WORLD WAR TREE! It shows the superiority of America while also showing it doesn't take much to make America lose it's mind and go crazy!
Love Fat Electrician (and you guys). You MUST react to Fat Electrician's video about Samuel Whittemore. Whittemore is the original "GET OFF MY LAWN" old man you don't want to mess with of the American Revolution.
I worked on the electronic systems of the A-6 Intruder when I was in the Navy. They're quite remarkable. In Nam, they flew Wild Weasel and Iron Hand missions where they flew low and fast to get SAM sites to fore missiles at them giving away their locations so they could circle back and blow them up.
Yes the videos he shows in this is real combat footage from the actual battle. As stated earlier The Fat Electrician was a combat medic in the army and his stories are amazing. His history lessons are so entertaining. As im sure you have noticed already from previous comments, Its not a warcrime the first time. America loves that motto, along with Dont Fuck with Americas Boats.
19:30 Zero weren’t dive bombers, the U.S. primary dive bomber at the start of the war was the Dauntless. The A-6 has tandem seating, the weapons office is seated beside the pilot, not behind him.
I have seen every video of Nic's, and they are ALL worth a watch! I had 1 good teacher like him (kind of) back in grade school, and because of him i have been a Civil War, Western, and War buff every since. TFE is Awesome!
Yes, during Operation Praying Mantis, a Soviet warship, the frigate "Bezzavetnyy," was present in the area. The Soviets claimed that they were there only to observe and take pictures. However, their presence added a layer of complexity to the situation, given the Cold War context and the potential for misinterpretation or escalation. The operation itself was a significant naval battle between the United States and Iran in 1988.
The thing is this operation was classified up until 2007. All records were sealed and kept from the public at the time. It wasn't until2007 that the records were unsealed and the public could find out what actually happened.

If I remember right one of the quotes that the American ambassador told the Iranians was "you never want to see our non proportional response" 🇺🇸
I was there.
The tanker escort mission was called Operation Earnest Will. When we would enter or leave the gulf through the Straits of Hormuz, Iran would light us up with their Silkworm missile radars. And steaming around in mined waters is rather nerve-racking.

And we want them to know.....that's why they really haven't messed with us....because they know

Greeting you two, my first visit to your channel. This is a dandy! Mess with the U.S. Navy and you will pay. You will pay in FULL. This video shows that perfectly! You two take care of each other AND have a great 2024. Thanks
15:00 Mark! What's sad about that is that the "McDonnal-Douglas F-4 Phantom II" was built by us and sold to the pre-Islamic Revolution government that was friendly to us. 😢
It reminds me of the Falklands War. We sold the USS Phoenix to Argentina who of course renamed it for their navy. We were neutral during that was because both sides were our friends. But anyway, a British attack submarine sank our former heavy cruiser and became the first submarine to sink a ship since World War 2! 😮
Love the fat electricians videos!! You guys definitely need to check out his video about the F-15 fighter jet and the Filthy 13.
Fat Electrician is the best history teacher we never had. I've learned so much from him I didn't know, and I learned it while cracking up and being entertained! Just one recommendation I have when you react to his hilarious and educational content, try to watch all the way to the end as sometimes he has a couple of parting comments at the end even after his video is supposedly over. Enjoy! New subscriber.
It's been said many times. "America can be the worst enemy you ever had or your best friend, your call."
Definitely check out “ the most gangster politician ever- Cassius Clay” from the Fat Electrician
You guys need to watch the fat electrician talking about Cassius Clay!!
I was there on the uss trenton lpd 14. Thanks for posting this. Blew me away when i saw this in my feed.
my favorite video by him is WORLD WAR TREE! It shows the superiority of America while also showing it doesn't take much to make America lose it's mind and go crazy!
Wait till you see Uss Wisconsin TEMPER TEMPER. LOLOLOL
naw uss texas
this was fire 🔥
Those A6 pilots are absolutely badass!
I remember this vividly, I joined the Navy in 1987 and this isnt really talked about very often.
Love Fat Electrician (and you guys).
You MUST react to Fat Electrician's video about Samuel Whittemore.
Whittemore is the original "GET OFF MY LAWN" old man you don't want to mess with of the American Revolution.
❤❤
I worked on the electronic systems of the A-6 Intruder when I was in the Navy. They're quite remarkable. In Nam, they flew Wild Weasel and Iron Hand missions where they flew low and fast to get SAM sites to fore missiles at them giving away their locations so they could circle back and blow them up.
You will be very entertained if you continue to watch this guy. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Considering the Soviet Union went belly up less than 3 years after this, they evidently didn’t learn much from this experience
Yes the videos he shows in this is real combat footage from the actual battle. As stated earlier The Fat Electrician was a combat medic in the army and his stories are amazing. His history lessons are so entertaining. As im sure you have noticed already from previous comments, Its not a warcrime the first time. America loves that motto, along with Dont Fuck with Americas Boats.
to say the age old adage "DO NOT TOUCH MY BOATS!!!"
When the opposition wants to FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT in a timely manner..
His storytelling is some of the best on the internet. He and MrBallen really have something special.
In God we Trust, all others we track. USN 1999 to 2012
TFE spreading facts. Glad yall checked him out.
I love his story telling! He’s hilarious!
3:47 Mark! The head-smacking scene is from the third "Naked Gun" movie! 😅
You might be the first American I've heard say petrol, instead of gas. Kudos to you Munfu!
19:30 Zero weren’t dive bombers, the U.S. primary dive bomber at the start of the war was the Dauntless. The A-6 has tandem seating, the weapons office is seated beside the pilot, not behind him.
I have seen every video of Nic's, and they are ALL worth a watch! I had 1 good teacher like him (kind of) back in grade school, and because of him i have been a Civil War, Western, and War buff every since. TFE is Awesome!
The soviets are like... drive by shooting? Pulls out cell phone and eats 7-11 food watching it all...
Yes, during Operation Praying Mantis, a Soviet warship, the frigate "Bezzavetnyy," was present in the area. The Soviets claimed that they were there only to observe and take pictures. However, their presence added a layer of complexity to the situation, given the Cold War context and the potential for misinterpretation or escalation. The operation itself was a significant naval battle between the United States and Iran in 1988.
"Drinkin tea in the middle of a shootout is crazy" hahaha 🤣😂
Rumour has it, the A6 pilot was of Japanese descent. He woke up that day and decided BANZAI.
The thing is this operation was classified up until 2007. All records were sealed and kept from the public at the time. It wasn't until2007 that the records were unsealed and the public could find out what actually happened.
Yo he is one of the best when it comes to obscure military history
