That was amazing.
Best part is everyone is going one way and Evens is going the other way.
Funny story Johnson's engine room. Evens called for smoke. The office shouted back you know what that will do to my engines.
Everything going on he was worried about cleaning them after.
This video is fitting after the loss of James D Hornfischer. If you are interested in this battle and don't know you can read his books The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors. He's also written other battles in the Pacific. If you have read them then you know how good he was and how much we will miss him. Thank you for the video and hopefully we will get a USS Johnston in WoWS someday.
great book.. I totally recommend to read it..
it also gives a good look on the terrors and unknowns sailors had to endure
oh I did not know he had passed. He also was good at World of Warships . I know Jingles has posted a few of his games in the past
I can’t believe he passed away. History will always be held in his books.
Wow, terrible loss.
I did not know he had passed. I am currently making my way through the last of the tin can soldiers right now. This was a great reenactment. Well done for that.
I run almost exclusively U.S. ships and I would buy a U.S.S. Johnston in a fast heartbeat.
Ah, Taffy 3, the ships that single handedly fought back against a major japanese naval fleet, massive salute to the officers aboard these ships
Seeing these two massive fleets engage each other is just amazing
"ingle handedly" .... May be in some game... But not in real life...
Sorry but it wasnt just the uss Johnston.. Respect to all the crews of all the ships, and the aircrew that took part.
@@ape3774 yea, o7 to them
Maybe I misread/misunderstood what the OP was saying, but I believe he referred to Taffy 3 as a whole, rather than just the USS Johnston. In any event, i certainly agree, massive shout out to all sailors and aviators of Taffy 3 on that day.
@@ape3774 Taffy 3 is the Task Force, so it includes the A/C/
@@dusterl1472
Even then, they’re ignoring that had Centre Force continued on the rest of Seventh Fleet (not Halsey’s force that was lured away, but the Surigao Strait Standards) would probably have intercepted them even with their much slower speed, as they started heading back North to do just that once Samar had started and they realized what was going on.
Not to mention the Japanese were five days too late already…
USS Johnston decide to rush the enemy like a chad
ikr
Yolo, but this time it worked out.
That's because the Captain wasn't a coward and if you knew what was at stake you wouldn't be so negative. I'm a 26yr Military Vet. and a student of WWII history. try showing a little respect for those men who died, please.
@@ronaldmatthewssr1837 Yeah, it would have risked the landing force, but regardless ty for ur service
The protoChad
Brings tears to my eyes thinking of those sailors and airmen as they faced certain death and still they fought on. I used this fight as a final paper in school. Teacher couldn't believe it was real. Yeah, check the Bib.... it was all there. o7
Sun Tsu already wrote that soldiers with no way out will fight beyond their normal capabilities. Thats why he recommended to leave the enemy a way to route from the battlefield. Its the same concept Caesar used to defeat Pompei. His veteran army was outnumbered 2:1 and cornered with their backs to the sea, so they fought like maniacs and slaughtered the senates legions instead of just getting captured. Its a fascinating, universal part of soldiers mentality.
For those who haven’t heard the news USS Johnston was recently discovered in the Philippine Sea and she now holds the record for the deepest known shipwreck in the world at a depth of 21,800 feet (6,664.64 meters).
Updates: USS Samuel B Roberts has now been discovered as the deepest shipwreck sitting 4.28 miles underwater. Just remember she is also looking for enemy submarines with the Johnston.
Samuel L. Robert's hold that record now he has been discovered a week ago.
@@jaketorralba4521 so I have heard. A ship worthy to take the title.
" I entend on putting this ship in harm's way. Any man that has a problem with that better leave now." Commander Evans said this on the day he took charge of the USS Johnston. Commander Evans did not lie.
He earned that Medal of Honor.
Imagine if wargamming werent pricks and the Bogue was still playable
Agreed.
Excellent reenactment!
At that time, my Dad was aboard U.S.S. Abbot DD 629, in the area of Surigao Strait, firing 20mm AA.
My dad was a radio man on USS Blue Ridge, the command ship for the amphibs. He told me if Kurita had broken through, the IJN force would have slaughtered the amphibs.
@Corsair37 absolutely true.
My Grandfather served on and survived the sinking of the USS St Lo. Thank you for making this video!
My Father Kenneth McLaughlin WT/3 served on Gambier Bay he passed in 1969 when I was 3
I wish WG would implement the Johnston as a premium Fletcher ship + a premium captain with improved adrenaline rush, torpedo boost and reload boost. DD players need some love, they are carrying entire matches but dont get much reward or shiny new ships.
Holy shit
7:07 It was not the Kuma (an ancient light cruiser)that took the torpedo from the Johnston. It was the Kumano, A Mogami class Heavy cruiser.
WG, when are we getting USS Jonhston in the game??
They should give it something like a super heal and crawling smoke
@@matthewdouglas8368 I like that but how about full speed smoke since that was what, I believe, she was doing when she decided that fighting was better than running
May the crews of Taffy 3 rest in peace! John Paul Jones, David Farragut, Edward Prebel, Steven Decatur, and our other naval heroes would have been proud of your sacrifice. ⚔️🏅🎖️
4:34 the swarm of planes, is so nostalgic, remind me of old RTS CV :')
Well done and thank you for this most interesting production. It was not what I was expecting when I clicked on it but was pleasantly surprised.
Excellent video. Salute to all those brave sailors and commanders. And salute to James D. Hornfisher. Rest in piece.
USS johnston was just brawling for a few there
taffy 3 heros hope to be like them.
the story of the Roberts is also amazing as they were a De and were slower and less well armed than the fletchers. she still did the job.
And fired every single round they had on the ship. The Destroyer Escort That Fought Like a Battleship.
@@ljessecusterl And that was a nickname given by the Japanese. Shows how much respect they had for the Roberts.
I absolutely love the fact you used Ace Combat musics. I got shivers when Johnston came through the smokescreen with Daredevil as BGM.
The Japanese SHO-1, 2 & 3 plans were all very ambitious and required concise timing and co-ordination that would be difficult to achieve even with today's technology. The brave Men and ships of TAFFY 3 paid a huge price but achieved so much more than they should have. With Halsey off chasing the decoy simply for honour and glory condemn those fine sailors to their fate and they did not let anyone down. RIP and Lest We Forget Taffy 3 and those brave Tin Can Sailors.
7:08 I know it’s a minor detail in the scheme of the video, but the crippled heavy cruiser was the Kumano, not the Kuma.
Its a typo, I had Kumano abbreviated as "Kuma" on my storyboards and typed that into the text instead of her full name
This is great. It’s is informative and fun to watch. Maybe let the longer text passages of for a bit longer, but english isn’t my first language, maybe i‘m just slow. I really liked it
I from France and you need to continue this Kind of vidéo it s just so bautifull and could you do other battle like the Bismarck or Midway and maybe the jutland battle there is so many possiblity ... 🇨🇵❤️🏅
If you scroll back to last year, we did one for the sinking of Bismarck!
@@aravinthmohan7073 nice I have to check
I definitely think Daredevil fits the badassery and fighting sprit the Johnston had. Charging the IJN fleet like that.
Nice but I have a couple nitpicks:
3:33 Taffy 3 consisted of 6 CVEs, 3 DDs, and 4 DEs
3:46 2nd Fleet Force A consisted of 4 BBs, 6 CAs, 2 CLs, and 11 DDs
5:48 this quote is correct but attributed wrongly. This was said over the 1MC of Samuel B. Roberts as she broke off escort duties and began to line up a torpedo salvo on the Chokai. There is another one said by the captain of the Johnston that I think is even more badass. Although it was said when the ship was comissioned not during this battle. Quote "This is going to be a fighting ship. I intend to go in harm's way, and anyone who doesn't want to go along had better get off right now."
8:59 this order was intended for DDs at first. DEs were to follow behind and make a follow up torpedo attack. Samuel B. Roberts was the only DE to press the attack with everything she had. The other DEs backed off after firing all conventional ammunition and returned to screening the CVEs with smoke.
10:14 this is just wrong. Sure Hoel had sunk, but Heerman and Samuel B. Roberts were still fighting and at that time were in the middle of engaging Chikuma with everything plus the kitchen sink. they had fired all armor piercing, all high explosive, all flak AA, and all star shells(flares). Heerman was still firing at this moment. The exact time is debatable as different ship logs are off by slightly different times, but shortly after 0900 (around 0902ish) the Roberts took the blow that put her out of action.
tbh kinda disappointed that one of the messages to other ships in the area was left out. TF34 was supposedly blocking the San Bernadino Straight. Yet, here comes a massive Japanese force from that direction. Admiral Sprague asked "where is TF34?". As part of the key to deciphering messages there was a throwaway phrase used at the beginning and end of messages. On this day, the beginning was "turkey trots to water" and the end phrase was "the world wonders". Bull Halsey's staff in TF34 forgot to cut off the end of the message and read out "where is TF34? the world wonders". Hoo boy was he mad.
THAT WAS AMAZING!!! PLEASE MAKE MORE!! Also, I would love to be a part of this in future projects! sign me up!
Feel free to apply for the clan and join the discord server to discuss more ideas
Thank you for the great video, but please if you want to put in written captions, bear in mind of slow readers like me. They disappear way too fast an I have to pause so many times on some epic scenes just to finish reading so it kind of ruins the experience.
I absolutely love this and I think it highlights the enormous potential the game has in historical matchups or at least faction vs faction matches. I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why that’s not a thing. Japanese vs American, German v British etc. They could find away to make it balanced and even via tiers and types. It would add tremendous value to the game IMO. This is what I’ve always wanted from WoWs.
Playing devils advocate for WG, match making would be exteremly difficult, and long queues to match similar tier ships together cuz likelihood of filling teams fully with one side all Japanese and one side all American from tiers 5-7 for example will take a bit
Right now It would be Team AA vs team no AA and everyone know how that fight would end with CVs around. I don't expect faction fights to show up until WG figures out how to balance their game.
I adore this. I would love to see more battle documentaries using WoWs as a medium
Great vid Sea Lord, The Battle off Samar is my favorite naval engagement of the second World War. A shame WG removed the Bogue so you didn't have a proper CVE model to work with.
Fantastic. Love the historical side to WOWS. i play a bit like the USS Johnston. strait in if i survive the attack strait back in. Do as much damage as posable. Them men were true hero's
This is the IRL equivalent of Matchmaking failing and ending up in a Tier IV/V vs. Tier X fight...and then winning some-crazy-how!
Ace Combat 7 music makes this Re-Enactment perfect!
Was about to say, Daredevil was a great song choice lol
My grandpa Raymond Dugdale was on board USS Dennis 405 destroyer escourt
Didn't Flambass make one of these? I remember it was voiced over by Jingles
If only we still had the old tier 5 Bogue class cvs in game, then it could've been even more authentic.
I miss those CV's in the game. The only problem, only 2 other nations could really have full CV lines and the Germans would still only have a partial.
@@brett76544 That wouldn't be a problem for wargaming. I mean, Graf Zeppelin is the only german Carrier that was actually built (but never completed). All the other ones are just paper. I'm sure wargaming would be able to do a full CV line for them...
And that’s how the Kraken achievement was born.
good timing with the AC unknown skies 7 music
thought it was AC5 music regardless Ace combat music is the best
@@dmtribaltyphoon5001 I'm incline to agree, Daredevil is playing when USS Johnson appears out of smoke alone and Faceless Soldier then plays when all the US DDs and DDEs come out of smoke to cover the carriers' retreat
Gj lad
Advice for graphic improvements use some nvidia or gshade filter for more flashy flashy graphic 07
When I say I fuck with this 10 out of 10
There's that Art Department carrying again. Thank You ALL
I feel like the Sammy B should have been a bigger part of this. She gained her rep in this fight as the tin can that fought like a battleship when she got up so close to a cruiser they couldn't lower their guns far enough to engage her and she pounded the crap out of that cruiser. They recently found the Johnson, she is now the deepest known shipwreck in history
she was a Destroyer Escort
Johnston*
Video is great but I wonder when any movie studio decide to do something about axis
th-cam.com/video/UutjlcDA3cc/w-d-xo.html
If this isn't an example of the American Fighting Spirt, then I don't know what is. These men didn't back down. To them, I say THANK YOU FOR SERVICE.
Outstanding, TY!!
CDR (Big Chief) Evans is a legend. His fingers were blown off his left hand on that bridge strike yet he continued relentlessly with his amazing Naval actions. No retreat. Native American badass. R.I.P. to all our hero sailors.
You have to think, what was going through their minds. Look HUGE ships coming our way. Lets charge them and pepper them with our 5 inch guns, 40 mm's and torpedo's. When DDs and DD escorts fought as cruisers and escort carriers fought as fleet carriers and the men had balls and spines of steel to pull it off.
They did their DUTY, against impossible odds. An excellent illustration why you never give up, and do your duty despite everything. You have no idea how important your personal sacrafice and effort may be.
My name is USS JOHNSTON and "I" am a Battle Ship though I was only commissioned a destroyer. I faced foes 10× my side. I fought them with honor. My name will live on in eternity. I now sit in Valhalla a longship for Odin. He himself carried me and my crew to Asgard. I have seen glorious battle under the midgard sun. I sacrificed myself for the fleet.
I AM USS JOHNSTON A DRAKIR IN ASGARD. MY CREW ARE DRINGR. FACE ME YORMUNGANDIR. FACE ME! OR ARE YOU A COWARD? FOR I AM USS JOHNSTON! SKOL!!
I like this, this is cool. You should do more of these reenactments
Great video, fantastic job SLM & all the other contributors. 5*
I feel like the escort carriers should have been the t6 cvs
They were, 3 rangers with 3 saipans (which is actually an escort cv)
Nice video. U.S. Navy - Pride, Tradition, Service. Destroyer sailors rule. Commander Evans was a stud.
I hope that one day they find Hoel and Gambier Bay so they can join The USS Johnston and Sammy B.
Wish they could do a documentary on the Vietnam War,s Mobile Riverine Force, an Army(River Raiders)Navy,(River Rats)Unit, it only exited for 3+ years, 1967-70 yet 10% of the names on the Vietnam Wall are from this unit, I was in the Riverine Force in April 1969, some guys in my unit had 3 Purple Hearts, we lost over 4 guys a day, Navy and Army. My web site is " Million Too One And Lived, " they should be remembered.
With the USS Johnson finally coming out in World of Warships, you should re-upload this video to honor her courage and sacrifice.
so much effort put in this video. nice work
In the beginning of the battle the Japanese use AP shells. Just like in World of Warships and in real life, AP does not work well against DDs, DEs and lights CVs.
Surprised the Johnston didn't sink from the weight of Commander Evans massive balls alone.
The part about the air attacks being ineffective is based on outdated scholarship….
And Kongo definitely never got any hits on Johnston; she wasn’t even shooting at anything at that point. Regardless of whether those hits came from Yamato, from cruisers, or both, none of them could have come from Kongo.
The quote about "...survival can not be expected..." was from the Samuel B. Roberts.
i would love to see the story 0f HMS Glowworm. One of the few victoria crosses recommended by the enemy, in this case the Hippers captain. Glowworm didn't survive but rammed the hipper doing enough damage to put her out of actions for a good period of time. there are pictures taken from the Hipper (3) showing the Glowworms desperate battle.
One can only imagine the carnage that the Japanese Center Force would have inflicted on the beachhead had Taffy 3 not put up such fierce resistance. The men of Taffy 3 truly saved the day.
USS Johnston. The original LEROOOOYYYY JEEENNNNKINS!!!
There is a correlation between the presence of USS Johnston and USS Roberts on the sea floor and the present lack of Godzilla activity.
Unconfirmed reports will say that he is now afraid of the water and has disguised himself as a a small hill on okinawa.
When WOW makes the USS Laffey available, I would love to see her fight.
At the 1:50 mark DD 661 USS Kidd, pride of Baton Rouge. Saw her the day she was delivered...
Legend has it some Taffy 3aircraft threw Coke bottles at the superstructure of the Japanese battleship once they exhausted their ordinance ... LoL
Way too long of wast of time in my book that something because on TH-cam I will watch 4 hours of talk head videos or streams I watch 2 minutes too long on this crap
I like these historical battles!
Superb film editing. 👍
Awesome!
Well done TSIOF 07
When you have nuts the size of bowling balls and decide to fight!!!!!!
The game still never grasps how bad the Japeanese 25mm sucked!
This battle was the United States Navy's finest hour.
Mr. Pickles was awesome, I see an Oscar in his future!
Taffy 3: when crazy is the exact right attitude!
its Halych fault he leave his pose He should be court marshal
By far one of the best cinematics I've ever seen. Well done.
When an American pulls a banzai on the Japanese…
Just a note..of Samar Island. Not off Samar.
The telling of the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the heroism of Taffy 3 is a great story… however the accompanying visuals are not up to snuff. Was the USS Ranger CV4 at Leyte Gulf? A part of Taffy 3? Even in the Pacific in October 1944? No, no and… yes. OK, she was in the Pacific but nowhere near the Philippines. She was recognizable by her six smoke stacks abaft of the island, 3 to port, 3 to starboard. Were light carriers part of Taffy 3? No. They operated with the main battle fleet, in this instance Task Force 38. They were distinctive and recognizable by the 4 stacks abaft of the island all on the starboard side. Light carriers were relatively long 600+ feet, rather sleek and fast, 30+ knots, as they were built on cruiser hulls. The Casablanca class carriers of Taffy 3 were shorter, somewhat stubby and slow, 19 knots and built from the keel up as carriers. The ships portrayed, both Japanese and American seem accurate enough except that some of them, particularly on the American side, simply weren’t there. Also, the speed of the ships in the video is waaaaaaay too fast. None of this is intended to diminish the effort of the makers to portray the incredible heroism of the men of Taffy 3. It’s just that it could have been so much better.
We’re using a game called “World of Warships” to produce these style of videos. True Escort Carriers are not in the game. So we’re using what we can that’s close enough to them, hence why Ranger appears in the video. Same when it comes to the American Destroyers all being destroyers and not Destroyer escorts, because there are no Destroyer escorts in World of Warships
@@sealordmountbatten Thanks for the info. I’m properly chastised.
Razgriz theme, automatic like
Biggest battle ship i,ve ever seen!
Chad Johnston vs Virgin IJN
We need the Samuel b Roberts
*When the sea starts speaking latin* 6:40
OH YEEEEAAAA USS JOHNSTON!!!
Excellent video! The Japanese objective on that day was to disrupt the landings. They completely failed in completing their strategic purpose. Then failed to succeed in the tactical situation as well. On that day the US Navy fought like Samurai the Japanese leaders didn't.
Excellent presentation
After all the work that clearly went into this, and it's gorgeous (so I second the comments about "art department carrying hard"), the USN abbreviated Destroyer as DD and Destroyer Escort as DE, not DDE.
for those of us that know
Well done. Nice visual to a quick history lesson.
Only thing I would change, add 2 sec more for reading .
I subscribe to watch WOWS vids - but this was pretty cool SLM. :) Thanks for the educational info!
Glad you mentioned Gambier Bay, My Grandfather was on her when she went down... he definitely had stories to tell. Great Vid Sea Lord!!!!!
Pretty cool vid man. Unique. You should have narrated it. Also, please do more 6 dd clan battles. That was so funny.
Too bad Bogue and Independence aren’t in the game anymore. Still, Ranger is a pretty good substitute.
Lovely job guys. Too bad DDEs weren't available in WoWs for this excellent effort.
Love this excellent work! One thing I need to say though is that at roughly 7.08 you say Kuma but it was actually the Mogami class Kumano that was torpedoed by Johnston
A brave destroyer
