Thanks for posting these videos. I was born in 1952, and I had school teachers who were sailors and soldiers in the second world war. Through their stories they instilled in me a pride of our country and our military. They never glorified war, and always emphasized the importance of protecting freedom for the free world
My dad served on USS Remora in 1952-53. On 4/10/63, he was thrilled to be attending a Junior Chamber of Commerce in San Jose, CA. The guest speaker was VADM Charles Lockwood, COMSUBPAC for most of WW II. It was the same day that USS Thresher was lost. It was a very somber experience.
These military documentary producers love the brass band back up. So loud, then human narration at 1/4 the volume so you have to turn it up to hear it, then the band comes on again at full volume, turn it back down again. What were they expecting? This is a Victory At Sea episode. The Silent Service episodes have better control of the music volume I think.
Patton had a quote; "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." I only agree with the second part of it.
52 WWII plus Scorpion and Thresher on Eternal patrol. I lived on Mare-Island from 1959 to 1962 as a kid. We always visited the Chapel on Veterans Day and 4th of July.
It is SO good to be only able to hear some noisy music and nothing of the speech. When will documentary makers ever learn? I would like to watch this but it is impossible for me to hear.
During WWII submarines comprise approximately 3% of the U.S. Navy, yet they were able to sink approximately 56% of the Japanese war ships and merchant Marine.
Great pioneer series, but was a bit short on facts. The navy was saddled with defective torpedos that failed to explode or exploded before hitting their target, ran too deep and may have actually caused the sinking of 2 of our own subs. The delays in fixing the problem because of stupidity and insane cost control issues may have delayed the war with Japan by as much as a year. How many lives did that cost?
Fortunately, the majority of US sub crews did survive their WW2 missions. Over 70% of NAZI type 7 and 9 crews died and perhaps another 10% never returned home. BRAVE MEN ALL!
@@53bigmikejones That is so sad. As I recall the Clamagore was commissioned too late for WW2 service, but did serve during the Cuban Missile Crisis. We have had the same problem here in Houston, trying to preserve the USS Cavalla at Galveston. Her only claim to fame was torpedoing and sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku, one of the Pearl Harbor raiders, on her maiden patrol in 1944.
Seems to me that the US Navy submarine forces and the Kriegsmarine U-Boat forces had exactly the same mandate. That is to starve out an island nation. Germany did well for a time but the US sub forces had way better support and some historians say that it really was the US Submarine Forces that contributed most to Japan’s fall.
09:54...USS Sirago (SS-485), a Tench-class submarine, was named for the sirago, a small, freshwater tropical fish. She was launched on 13 May 1945 and commissioned on 13 August 1945 so she never saw combat.
Waiting to see pop up Fred Astaire snd Ginger Rogers on some sub's deck ffs. Ended up killing the sound and watched the b/w mute movie. What a waste of a good docu.
I agree my friend, way too loud. I remember though when the music in this segment later in the 50s became a huge hit when the song title became "no other love". Lovely song? Yes, but here, way too loud. However, I still hold the US Navy, Army and Air Force In great reverence. We in the UK Could never have done it alone, Another reason why I hold your President Donald Trump in my prayers. God Bless America. And all who defend us. UKguy.
Hmmm, I thought I've seen photos of boats with a saw toothed-like apparatus on the bow that was used to cut nets? Maybe two tools of different design for the same purpose?
It's called a bull nose. Used for running a mooring line through. And quite the handy step up to the deck too, when the boat is moored bow on to a pier.

After all of these years, Victory At Sea remains the greatest. And that great music!!
I remember performing that music in high school in 1970/1971. It was great music then and still is today.
Richard Rodgers wrote the music. He was the Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, the most successful broadway composer duo.
Thank you for putting these up. I can't get enough.

This is so great, i like it
Dad served on two boats....the R-13 and the USS Apogon 308. Heard a lot of interesting stories about fighting in the South Pacific.

In Seal Beach, California there is a small memorial of our brave boys who never returned. Very heart breaking. Brave men ....
Served on these old diesels in the mid 50's, early 60's. Good nostalgia for an old submariner.
Welcome home.
My cousin was a Sonar also served during this time period out school and Scotland. PO1 Willian (Billy) Flaherty

Turn the bloody music down, talking up.

We know much more about the war than they did in the early 1950s.
Why is the music so damn loud?
Father Was In WW11 Germany And Uncle WW 11 South Pacific 😮
Very lucky are the great men who served on a submarine in WW2 and lived to tell about it! Great respect!
Fortunately, the majority of US sub crews did survive their WW2 missions. Over 70% of NAZI type 7 and 9 crews died and perhaps another 10% never returned home.
BRAVE MEN ALL!
The music was too loud and the man was talking was too low and hard to hear
16 of these great boats are still preserved as memorials
USS Clamagore was, but Patriots point spent money on a Tin Can and looks like they will scrap the old girl. Sad cause she was an awesome boat.

@@wilhelmtell4880
Wow!
@@wilhelmtell4880 Shokaku also took part in sinking the original Lexington and damaging the Yorktown at Coral Sea.
God bless the sub mariner and the USN.
For the first two years the torps didn't work.
The sub launch was at Manitowoc Wisconsin.
The Mark 13 torpedo was absolute garbage.
We must not forget what these men went through for our well being.
Hear! Hear! God Bless them all.
We have a will to win a will to thrive. A will to fight and survive for liberty until the day we die .AMERICA, AMERICA you shall always be mine .
All those stanchions, wires, antennae, deck gun, etc., no wonder they were so slow underwater. That's a lot of drag.
Moral: Don't wake the sleeping giant.
The jolly green will take u down !
Defective torpedoes aren't mentioned?

The submarine service and aerial mining devastated Japan's merchant marine.
Run Silent
Run Deep
16:50, Tatsuno Maru. Torpedoed and sunk by US submarine USS Thresher, SS-200, 15 January, 1944 in the Luzon Strait.
"What's that?...i've failed the rigorous entry test to become a submariner?...oh dear i'm so unhappy about that..."🤭🎉

How often do you waterboard the sound engineer, not often enough it would seem
...louder Music ...PLEASE!!...
You're speaking to editors that most likely passed away 10 to 40 years ago.
PS, I agree.
Stupid background music TOO LOUD !!
Waiting to see pop up Fred Astaire snd Ginger Rogers on some sub's deck ffs. Ended up killing the sound and watched the b/w mute movie. What a waste of a good docu.
Some of these V at Sea are fine. Others like this one are way out of balance. I wish I could turn off the darn music!
You have to remember that this series was made back in the very early 50's and the music was more symphonic than what you would hear today.
USN subs operated in groups of 3 & never in wolf packs of 5 or more.
Background music was too loud, could not listen to the entire episode.
Lousy music, and way too loud.
SOUND SUCKS! Volume UP, DOWN, SOFT, LOUD. It’s a pain.
Actor Tony Curtis served Pacific theatre US Navy Sub-Tender.
TheDustysix I thought he served on a pink submarine with Cary Grant?
Bwuhahahahahha!
Fine video, but the music is unbearably LOUD.
I agree my friend, way too loud.
I remember though when the music in this segment later in the 50s became a huge hit when the song title became "no other love".
Lovely song? Yes, but here, way too loud. However, I still hold the US Navy, Army and Air Force
In great reverence. We in the UK
Could never have done it alone,
Another reason why I hold your
President Donald Trump in my prayers. God Bless America.
And all who defend us.
UKguy.
The music was set for the tiny TV speakers of the 50's.
It's submarine er. Not sub mariner. Sub mariner is comic book charcter!!
Is that a large hawse pipe on the prow of those boats?
Net cutter.
Hmmm, I thought I've seen photos of boats with a saw toothed-like apparatus on the bow that was used to cut nets? Maybe two tools of different design for the same purpose?

GO US NAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fn A merica!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🌹🌹🌹❤️R.I.P.
Fish boats forever
it is not necessary to write (complete episode).Some of these subs were built in Wisconsin.
@ Manitowoc
I think the US Navy is making a big mistake and not investing in the newer Diesel boats that are coming out now. They are quieter than Nuclear boats.
newer boats yet have even more sophisticated engines, but they still lack the range and independence of nuclear boats.
what the fuck is the music so fucking ;loud
WELL DON'E.
We are not sub mariners , sir .
hwy this noisy music, it can drive anyone to insanity
B
