I'm a Navy vet who was in the fleet when the news of all this broke. As a Gunner's Mate 3'rd class, I had mixed emotions. On one hand I was thinking that all the training and practice I'd like to know how well I'd be: on the other hand, I didn't want to be in a situation where I had to kill. I do appreciate the historic bits you were adding. I especially liked the comment suggesting they ask the Japanese about our naval capabilities.
@ awe, thanks! I do appreciate your comment and your service. Typically, I try to research topics a little bit before I react to them . It helps provide insight for the viewer ..And yes, that would have been a scary situation to be in….
Can't go wrong with a Fat Electrician video. I just wish he would've played the whole Reagan clip showing the complete quote. "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I 'm from the government, and I'm here to help.' "
This is my first time after reacting/watching him. But, he is actually a former Army Combat Medic, like myself 🙂. I will definitely have to react some more content of his !
Thank-you for your service! From a Canadian Army Vet "1st Field Artillery (Halifax-Dartmouth) Reserves ,Hello from Fletchers Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada. Great video! 😀👌👍✌
I very close to the beach! We are in the middle of a cold snap. It was 30° this morning and in the 50s and sunny today. How is the weather where you live?
@@JustAnotherArmyVet My "Gunner" bones say it a cold snap! Sunny , some clouds & Snow Flurries! Bach APT, back door small deck 7ft from water,BBQ ,niece in summer! slight ripple on lake! Late father, merchant seamen during battle of alantic! ww2 .
Im a retired NAVY guy, my first ever cruise was aboard the carrier U.S.S. YORKTOWN. On our NATO cruise a helo of HS3 a(helicopter squadron)3,at night . The pilots developed vertigo and crashed in the stormy north sea. All 3 died. Even at peace-time, our carrier squadrons average a death of at least 1 person per month. I was with an aviation group (anti-submarine trackers), I still think about these poor guys.........carrier-ops are truly dangerous!
That is so sad. But yes, I can imagine it’s very dangerous for the pilots and for the air traffic control/ground crew sailers on the flight deck. Did you see the miniseries, “Carrier”??
My uncle was an aviation mechanic in the USN. He served 76-79 (ranking up to P02, if I remember correctly) maintaining/repairing sub hunters aboard the USS John F Kennedy. We are historically a US Army family, so he’s a bit of an outlier, getting the occasional ribbing from us, but he’s loved & respected for his service just the same as anyone else. He had some of the best stories he would tell us growing up, too. Some fun & light hearted, others not so much. Anyway, one service member to another, thank you for everything. When exactly did you serve on the Yorktown?
The Iranian captains did their duty, no matter how suicidal that was. The Iranian Frigates were built in the United Kingdom by Vosper Ltd and based on their Mark 5 design, at a time when British designed ships lacked CIWS systems and relied only on counter measures to defend against missiles. This design philosophy changed after the hard learned lessons of the Falkland's war. These ship displaced 1100 to 1530 tons (much less than half the size of the US Perry class frigates) and had the following arms & equipment: ASuW - 1 × quintuple Sea Killer Mk2 surface-to-surface missile AAW - 1 × triple Sea Cat surface-to-air missile launcher ASW - 1 × 3 barrelled Anti Submarine Mortar Mark 10 Limbo launcher Guns - 1 × Mark 8 Mod 0 4.5 inch general purpose & 1 × twin 35mm Oerlikon AA Electronics - Plessey AWS 1 air surveillance radar with on-mounted IFF; 2 × Contraves Sea hunter systems (For use with Sea cat, Sea Killer & the 35mm mount); Decca RDL 1 passive direction finding equipment They were refitted in the UK shortly before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, so this equipment was totally inadequate for the threats of 1988, when this ship was sunk. Today the situation is much different, because of land based hypersonic missiles that make Carrier task groups vulnerable. The Swedish Gotland-class submarine, using its advanced Stirling engine air-independent propulsion system, successfully "sank" the USS Ronald Reagan in a wargame exercise, but However, it was not the only case a US carrier was "sunk". The Australians tricked a US carrier task force making them think that an Australian P-3C was a civilian aircraft and they got a simulated strike by 2 Harpoon missiles on the Carrier. The US responded in vengeance for the fiasco by adding 200 miles on the GPS, making the Australians get lost in their own sea, while the US ships new about it and corrected the GPS signal. Also a Greek Type 214 conventional submarine "sunk" twice a brand new British nuclear submarine during wargames in the Mediterranean sea, even surprising the Greek crew that commented: "OK the first time we caught them by surprise, but the second time they new we were there".
When he was talking about hitting the magazine on the Iranian ship and it exploding, the magazine is where the ship stores the ammuntion, so hitting that equals big boom. Like what happened to the Arizona at Pearl Harbor.
Indeed, a magazine explosion is invariably fatal, for example HMS Hood was infamously ripped in half by the explosion of her aft main magazine after a direct hit by a 15" shell fired by the Bismarck, which killed all but 3 of her 1,421 man crew.
@@Rammstein0963. I will definitely have to eventually react to the Bismarck…. people people been asking for me to react to the Sabaton song and history of it for a while now.
There's also a documentary about it here on TH-cam, part of the "Dogfights" series if I recall, both the entire episode and specifically the Hood vs. Bismarck fight if you want to react to those.

ON a warship the Magazine is where explosive contents are stored, such as powder charges. shells, or complete rounds of ammunition, missiles, etc. You might blow a hole in a ship with a torpedo or mine or bomb and it'll probably sink with enough hits. Hit a magazine and unless it is very well designed or the type of hit allows enough water in instantly to quench any fire or explosion in the initial stages, it will explode, likely destroying the ship, depending on the size. As a comparison, the USS Arizona took numerous bomb hits and could have been salvaged like the other battleships at Pearl Harbor, but one bomb detonated in the black powder magazine, instantly exploding with enough energy to set off most of the smokeless powder magazine adjacent to it (smokeless powder is less volatile than black powder), and blowing the forward part of the ship apart with enough force that witnesses stated they saw the bow leap out of the water tens of feet before it crashed back down and the forward superstructure collapsed down onto it. This explosion broke the keel at that location, annihilated all the sections in that area, and caused massive fires elsewhere in the ship. Magazine explosions are almost always 100% the near-instant death of a warship. There are a couple of exceptions, but those are extremely lucky and rare.
@@chrismaverick9828 I couldn’t imagine witnessing the Arizona being propelled up like that. But thanks for sharing all that. It does make sense what a magazine is for. It’s the same concept as magazine for a rifle.
You asked what the magazine was. Just like the magazine on a rifle, the magazine on a ship is where all of the ammunition is stored until it is loaded and fired.
I didn't know the Ike was the first nuclear powered carrier. I had the privilege of going aboard the JFK and the Nimitz in the 80s. Would love to see content on the power of a USN carrier battle group.
@@johnshaw6326 I think getting to go on a carrier must’ve been a memorable experience. I can look and see what I can find. If you see a good video on that topic, I will check it out 🙂👍
I'm not sure how the Ike (short for USS Eisenhower) got included in the conversation. It was the Enterprise that was both in the Persian Gulf, and the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
Excellent reaction, I've seen many however you added much more. Thanks, he's got amazing content, most gangster Marine, most gangster abolitionist, Jake MC nasty.....
@@JustAnotherArmyVet You also had some stuff to add that I didn't know, that's appreciated. Looking into "the" Samuel B Roberts, it's also the deepest located shipwreck, as far as I could find
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin good. I am glad you found value in my content. I try to research topics a little bit before I watch videos. Not always though 🙂
Magazine? Just like in a firearm, a ship's magazine is where the ammunition is stored prior to it going up the spout. Hitting a ship's magazine is an almost guaranteed ship kill, as the contents are usually measured in Tons, and they react poorly to being poked with explosive shells... Interestingly, the common box magazine used in most military firearms derive their name from the naval magazine...
The Battle off Samar, mentioned in this video because of the Samuel B. Roberts, as part of the much larger Battle for Leyte Gulf, was one of the most stunning victories in naval warfare history (or maybe any warfare history). It is like the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae, the Marines on Wake Island or the defenders at the Alamo….. except the horribly outnumbered defenders won the day. Tiny destroyers and destroyer escorts charged into battleships (including the largest battleship ever built-Yamato) and cruisers. Toss in small escort carriers who launched all of their small contingent of planes who were not equipped for anti-ship warfare. The ferocity with which the small American ships attacked, turned a Japanese force where the battleship Yamato by itself outweighed the entire American task force. For the surface battle, the Americans had 3 destroyers and 4 destroyer escorts which took on the Japanese fleet of 4 battleships, 6 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers and 11 destroyers. Also were 6 escort carriers who were trying desperately to beyond range of the battleships and cruisers. Two of the carriers were sunk along with two destroyers and a destroyer escort (Samuel B. Roberts). Salute to the sailors of the escort carriers: Fanshaw Bay St Lo (sunk) White Plains Kalinin Bay Kitkun Bay Gambier Bay (sunk) Destroyers: Hoel (sunk) Heermann Johnston (sunk) Destroyer escorts: Dennis John C. Butler Raymond Samuel B. Roberts (sunk)
Yes. There are a few youtube videos on it. It is one of the most stunning victories ever. If ever a movie should be made and actually stick to the facts, this is it. You might try TH-cam search Battle off Samar Drachinifel Drachinifel has some great naval history and does a great one on this battle. I believe near the end, he said something like, almost certainly they all realized that they were about to die and were determined to inflict as much damage to the enemy as possible. Captain Ernest Evans of the Johnston was last seen near the stern of the ship as it was sinking, still giving orders. He was never seen again. Evans was awarded the Medal of Honor.
@@tvc184 ahh yes! That was the video I found, thanks! I am not sure when I will react to it, but it’s on my list. And you are right, it sounds like that needs to be made into a movie!

OPEC, or the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries Is basically the NATO for Oil. And the reason gas prices are the way they are. Every time someone wants to blame an American politician for gas prices. I helpfully remind them that OPEC has been a thing for quite some time now. It's always been an international effort to set the price for a barrel of crude oil. And the guy running for or sitting in office, doesn't have as much control as you think he or she does.

I have a buddy who's channel is 68 Whiskey. Nic has some great videos, not completely accurate but not off enough to worry about. The only suggestion I can give you for the future is, please don't research the stories ahead of time. Knowing the story and where it's going really takes away from the fun. But this is your house, so your rules.
@@FollowingGhost I will check out that channel- 68 W (whisky) was actually my MOS - Combat Medic 🙂. Nick was also a former 68W…Would you suggest I don’t research only’Nick’s stories beforehand? Or would you apply that recommendation for ALL of my content…?
@JustAnotherArmyVet that was his MOS as well. Thank you for your service. Unfortunately, I didn't get to serve, I was hit by a car just a couple of months before I was going in. Personally and seeing posts on other channels, it seems a lot of people would rather the reactor sees it for the first time without researching. That's how we watched and a lot of the entertainment for us is seeing your reactions to the story. It seems you already have a great deal of knowledge about history, but I really love seeing the surprise of the story from you. A couple of his videos you will enjoy, Sgt. Reckless and the one about the Finnish SF soldier in WW2. Sorry I can't remember the title.
@@FollowingGhost you are sweet. Thanks for your support. I’m sorry that you were hurt and unable to serve. In the future, I will try to remember to go into his content blind (with minimal or no research). Considering his type of content, I think that may be the best way to handle it for most of his content. Thanks 🙂
Honestly you don’t need to do research for his vids, also he asks people to wait at least 2 days after he releases a vid before reactions go up….friendly heads up.
He also does some more stuff on other channels, all equally amazing, amusing and informative. The Fat Files, Unsubscribe Podcast and Unsubscribe Clips.
@@wikkedspindl awesome! I will definitely have to check out this other channels. Where does he find the time to do all the research, the script, the filming, the editing, for all those channels? Does he have a team?
@JustAnotherArmyVet most of his research is just people contacting him. He meets them and they hand him boxes of stuff left over from family members. One of the Unsubscribe Clips he kind of talks about it and how it becomes the story for the "old bastards", the 77th.

As a comparison, the USS Arizona took numerous bomb hits and could have been salvaged like the other battleships at Pearl Harbor, but one bomb detonated in the black powder magazine, instantly exploding with enough energy to set off most of the smokeless powder magazine adjacent to it (smokeless powder is less volatile than black powder), and blowing the forward part of the ship apart with enough force that witnesses stated they saw the bow leap out of the water tens of feet before it crashed back down and the forward superstructure collapsed down onto it. This explosion broke the keel at that location, annihilated all the sections in that area, and caused massive fires elsewhere in the ship.
Magazine explosions are almost always 100% the near-instant death of a warship. There are a couple of exceptions, but those are extremely lucky and rare.
@@chrismaverick9828 I couldn’t imagine witnessing the Arizona being propelled up like that. But thanks for sharing all that. It does make sense what a magazine is for. It’s the same concept as magazine for a rifle.
My mom's neighbor who's Russian was on that Soviet Navy ship....
@@Scorpio.1989 oh wow. I’m sure that was a memorable experience . Thank you for sharing!
You asked about what a magazine is. Its the area where munitions are stored, so when it got hit, it basically blew up a large section of the ship.
@@GRIMRPR6942 thank you for your insight!! So that’s what happened with the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor then 🙏
I loved Ft Sam! (46th CSH)
@@marke8323 yes, I remember my days at Medic school there. Good times!! I love being San Antonio! You were a Combat medic as well?
I left the equal part out, have we ever responded equally? I believexwe have always left a message the can not be ignored ❤
I believe you said this is your first fat Electrician video. You're in for a great ride. 👍
You asked what the magazine was. Just like the magazine on a rifle, the magazine on a ship is where all of the ammunition is stored until it is loaded and fired.
@@PAT8888-is2pd makes sense! Thank you 👍🙂
Looked proportional to me. U.S. regretted the Sammy B. getting mined. So they made iran regret mining the ship.
@@jacobwatson4572 agreed 👍
I didn't know the Ike was the first nuclear powered carrier. I had the privilege of going aboard the JFK and the Nimitz in the 80s. Would love to see content on the power of a USN carrier battle group.
@@johnshaw6326 I think getting to go on a carrier must’ve been a memorable experience. I can look and see what I can find. If you see a good video on that topic, I will check it out 🙂👍
I'm not sure how the Ike (short for USS Eisenhower) got included in the conversation. It was the Enterprise that was both in the Persian Gulf, and the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
@@slaveofjesus-w8x thanks for the clarification 👍
Hi Dear Kylie I love You and your videos so much My Dear Lovely Female American Soldier Friend.🤗😍🥰❤🤍💙🇺🇲💪🏻👍🤝🔥🙏✝️
Hello my dear friend! I hope you and your family are well. Thanks so much for your kind words and support. You are so sweet 🤗🙂💙❤️👍
Excellent reaction, I've seen many however you added much more. Thanks, he's got amazing content, most gangster Marine, most gangster abolitionist, Jake MC nasty.....
@@armusc757 awe thank you! I appreciate your support. I do plan to react to more of this content in the future. 🙂
You watch one video by The Fat Electrician, you kinda want to watch them all.
USS O'Bannon is my favorite.
I will definitely check it out! Thanks! I definitely plan on reacting to more content in the future 🙂
The magazine is were all the ammunition for the ship is kept
@@greggzeller1528 now that I think about it, it does make sense 🤣. It’s the same with a rifle. Thanks 🙂👍
Would love some more TFE videos, the guy just does not miss with his videos
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin I definitely plan on reacting to some more of his videos in the future! I hear he has a large catalog 🙂
@@JustAnotherArmyVet You also had some stuff to add that I didn't know, that's appreciated. Looking into "the" Samuel B Roberts, it's also the deepest located shipwreck, as far as I could find
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin interesting!!
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin good. I am glad you found value in my content. I try to research topics a little bit before I watch videos. Not always though 🙂
@@JustAnotherArmyVet Going in blind is kinda good for reaction stuff lol
Magazine? Just like in a firearm, a ship's magazine is where the ammunition is stored prior to it going up the spout. Hitting a ship's magazine is an almost guaranteed ship kill, as the contents are usually measured in Tons, and they react poorly to being poked with explosive shells...
Interestingly, the common box magazine used in most military firearms derive their name from the naval magazine...
@@gchampi2 that does make sense! Like a rifle mag. Thanks for your insight! (and yes, that is what sunk the USSR Arizona at Pearl Harbor.)
One other thing, watch till the end, he usually has a little funny comment section before the very end. Just a heads up doc.
@@derrickduncanson9253 thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it 🙂👍
@JustAnotherArmyVet I'm a former teufelhunden myself, so hope you didn't take offense to me calling you doc. Anyway, any time army dog.
@@derrickduncanson9253 when I worked with Marines, it was always an honor when they called me doc 🙂
Tip for Fat Electrician video's. Always watch to the very end. He likes to put clips at the end.
Thanks!! Good tip 🙂👍
The Battle off Samar, mentioned in this video because of the Samuel B. Roberts, as part of the much larger Battle for Leyte Gulf, was one of the most stunning victories in naval warfare history (or maybe any warfare history).
It is like the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae, the Marines on Wake Island or the defenders at the Alamo….. except the horribly outnumbered defenders won the day.
Tiny destroyers and destroyer escorts charged into battleships (including the largest battleship ever built-Yamato) and cruisers.
Toss in small escort carriers who launched all of their small contingent of planes who were not equipped for anti-ship warfare.
The ferocity with which the small American ships attacked, turned a Japanese force where the battleship Yamato by itself outweighed the entire American task force.
For the surface battle, the Americans had 3 destroyers and 4 destroyer escorts which took on the Japanese fleet of 4 battleships, 6 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers and 11 destroyers.
Also were 6 escort carriers who were trying desperately to beyond range of the battleships and cruisers. Two of the carriers were sunk along with two destroyers and a destroyer escort (Samuel B. Roberts).
Salute to the sailors of the escort carriers:
Fanshaw Bay
St Lo (sunk)
White Plains
Kalinin Bay
Kitkun Bay
Gambier Bay (sunk)
Destroyers:
Hoel (sunk)
Heermann
Johnston (sunk)
Destroyer escorts:
Dennis
John C. Butler
Raymond
Samuel B. Roberts (sunk)
@@tvc184 oh wow! And that’s the Battle of Samar? I will have to find a video on it. Thanks!
Yes.
There are a few youtube videos on it.
It is one of the most stunning victories ever. If ever a movie should be made and actually stick to the facts, this is it.
You might try TH-cam search
Battle off Samar Drachinifel
Drachinifel has some great naval history and does a great one on this battle.
I believe near the end, he said something like, almost certainly they all realized that they were about to die and were determined to inflict as much damage to the enemy as possible.
Captain Ernest Evans of the Johnston was last seen near the stern of the ship as it was sinking, still giving orders. He was never seen again. Evans was awarded the Medal of Honor.
@@tvc184 ahh yes! That was the video I found, thanks! I am not sure when I will react to it, but it’s on my list. And you are right, it sounds like that needs to be made into a movie!

Great analysis, thank you! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
@@DonaldLopez-b9z thank you!! I don’t know what OKX wallet is. And I don’t know what any of the items in the next sentence are. If that is crypto, I know nothing about it. Maybe go to a Finance channel and ask people there
OPEC, or the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries Is basically the NATO for Oil.
And the reason gas prices are the way they are. Every time someone wants to blame an American politician for gas prices. I helpfully remind them that OPEC has been a thing for quite some time now. It's always been an international effort to set the price for a barrel of crude oil. And the guy running for or sitting in office, doesn't have as much control as you think he or she does.
I do appreciate your insight. You make excellent points. Thank you!
@@JustAnotherArmyVet Keep up the good work!!
@@Padfoot1985 thanks! Always feel free to recommend content and video ideas 🙂
He does some great videos but on some he does get info wrong (wake island ) but he's alot of fun to watch his Samuel Whittmore video was great.
@@2104dogfaceyes, thanks ! They’re definitely a lot of videos of his I need to check out. But yes, he is a former Army Combat Medic, like myself, not a historian. So, I would expect some mistakes 🙂
@@JustAnotherArmyVet oh i understand that , just his Wake Island 1 he just left out the overall commander who was in charge and lead the battle USN commander Winfield S. Cunningham instead giving all the credit to USMC Maj. James Devereux who was the XO just a big detail to miss.
@@2104dogface I don’t know anything about Wake Iskabd, but that does sound like a huge mistake….
@@JustAnotherArmyVet He's actually going back to college to earn a degree in history, that is how committed he is to this. It's great seeing him get the younger generation interested in history and to tell stories that a lot of people aren't aware of.
Please watch the movie "Argo" if you haven't seen it. I sincerely think you would enjoy it.
@@blakephelps7619 thanks! I just checked out the trailer and wow! First, it looks great. Second, how did I miss this movie when it first came out in theaters?? I’ll definitely have to find a way to watch it
I have a buddy who's channel is 68 Whiskey. Nic has some great videos, not completely accurate but not off enough to worry about. The only suggestion I can give you for the future is, please don't research the stories ahead of time. Knowing the story and where it's going really takes away from the fun. But this is your house, so your rules.
@@FollowingGhost I will check out that channel- 68 W (whisky) was actually my MOS - Combat Medic 🙂. Nick was also a former 68W…Would you suggest I don’t research only’Nick’s stories beforehand? Or would you apply that recommendation for ALL of my content…?
@JustAnotherArmyVet that was his MOS as well. Thank you for your service. Unfortunately, I didn't get to serve, I was hit by a car just a couple of months before I was going in.
Personally and seeing posts on other channels, it seems a lot of people would rather the reactor sees it for the first time without researching. That's how we watched and a lot of the entertainment for us is seeing your reactions to the story. It seems you already have a great deal of knowledge about history, but I really love seeing the surprise of the story from you. A couple of his videos you will enjoy, Sgt. Reckless and the one about the Finnish SF soldier in WW2. Sorry I can't remember the title.
@@FollowingGhost you are sweet. Thanks for your support. I’m sorry that you were hurt and unable to serve. In the future, I will try to remember to go into his content blind (with minimal or no research). Considering his type of content, I think that may be the best way to handle it for most of his content. Thanks 🙂
@JustAnotherArmyVet thanks and since I just found your channel, I subscribed so I can see more of your videos.
@@FollowingGhost awesome! Thanks! Always feel free to suggest content. 🤗
You should check out his video World War Tree another Fat Electrician Great.
@@kirktennyson612 I will check it out, thanks 🙂
Honestly you don’t need to do research for his vids, also he asks people to wait at least 2 days after he releases a vid before reactions go up….friendly heads up.
@@TheGimpster101 thank you! I appreciate the heads up. He seems like a good person 🙂
He also does some more stuff on other channels, all equally amazing, amusing and informative. The Fat Files, Unsubscribe Podcast and Unsubscribe Clips.
@@wikkedspindl awesome! I will definitely have to check out this other channels. Where does he find the time to do all the research, the script, the filming, the editing, for all those channels? Does he have a team?
@JustAnotherArmyVet most of his research is just people contacting him. He meets them and they hand him boxes of stuff left over from family members. One of the Unsubscribe Clips he kind of talks about it and how it becomes the story for the "old bastards", the 77th.
@@wikkedspindl interesting!
Holy shit I'm a big fan. far too many streamers with their interruptions and ignorant insights. To get someone with some actual knowledge? nice
@@claireradke7029 awe thank you!! Sometimes, it can be hard to find a balance between listening to the video and pausing the video and talking. I don’t always get it right 🤣. And in all fairness, I try to do some research on most topics before I react to them. That way I can provide insight to the viewers. Thanks for watching! I really do appreciate your comment. You made me smile 🙂
