One of the attractions of the Buffalo city is the Little Rock ship, part of the Naval & Military Park exposition. It is the last remaining Cleveland class light cruiser, which were famous for their numerosity and endurance, and were considered the heaviest light cruisers in the history of the US Navy. Learn about USS Little Rock!
Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

These battle scenes are _so_ much better than what the History Channel showed a decade ago.
True
History Channel doesn't give a shit about the accuracy of what it posts. WG does because they know that they will be showing it to a load of naval nerds like us. And this accuracy and quality shows.
+Nilin Lusankya so true =3
Just as long as it does not cover the Royal Navy... WG does not seem to think the British had a significant navy.
+thegeneral123 umm wargameing has stated that the Royal Navy would of Bin here by now if it weren't for the Royal Navy refusing to let wargameing use the design"s
I realize Wargaming is Russian, yet I am honored as an American that they took such care and attention to an even and truly honest way of informing us of our collective history. No matter who becomes president in November; I have and will always maintain that our two countries can achieve a lasting peace. We need to always remember that in WW2 we fought and died for the same cause.
I apologize for being political, I just REFUSE to believe that Russia and America are destined to always be rivals or enemies!
Well said sir
I served over 21 years, and I believe the same thing. We can be friends and allies. We have more in common with them and Europe than a LOT of other parts of the world. We have worked some with them in the past, on occasions. We will not be enemies forever unless the Governments keep it that way.
Sometimes being rivals is a good thing, not always a bad thing.
The USA has a huge amount of museum ships and is very cooperative.
If "collusion" means Trump and Putin talking about ways for the US and Russia not to nuke the fuck out of each other, let them collude all they want. Hell, they could have gay sex in the Kremlin and I wouldn't care so long as it saves us from unintentional atomic fuckups that might otherwise kill us all. Each of them knows and understands that the other wants what's best for his country, and they respect each other for that.
the USS Little Rock is stationed 35 miles from my home. I have been on the ship and have taken the tours. I enjoyed seeing the ship inside and outside.
Naval battles in the Pacific against the Japanese Imperial Fleet were bloody and deadly. Cruisers, destroyers, destroyer escorts were the class of ships that were right in the middle of the fight. They faced fire from every direction including from above.
Their crews fought bravely and valiently.
As a proud U.S. NAVY veteran I salute them. I hope I'd have been as brave as they were. ✌🏻🇺🇸
I still maintain that you guys should spin off a group that does full feature length historical war documentaries. I like these videos almost more than I like the game itself. I've always been a fan of WWI/WWII documentaries.
Like a remake of the old "Victory at Sea", that would be awesome!!
TheOtherBill Agreed. Or even something like a remake of the battle of Jutland or something. Would be epic. Or a complete history of Bismarck vs. Hood. etc. They'd be amazing at it. They could make serious cash too, methinks. Granted they'd have a lot of additional models to build but they already have quite a lot to start with.
how about a retexture of the animations on battle 360: enterprise i think those animations would look awesome and it would cover a huge portion of WWII
+logo1575 im agree with you i really want to see warggamming make animation about Lucky E
+YMT 1945 I want War gaming to add the Lucky E period.
Tier 8 premium
I was fortunate enough to travel to the U.S. and tour this ship in Buffalo, NY. The ship was impressive for a light cruiser. The ship has been modernized quite a bit over the years, and thankfully the long service life meant there were plenty of crew that served on the ship who now work on the ship as guides. Well worth the trip to see this beauty. Planning on going again.
Note the two bridges - one a top the other - the lower is a flag bridge for an admirals staff. Little Rock served as 6th Fleet flag in the mid 70s home-ported in Gaeta Italy.
The captain of that other DD musta put in chat "MYOKO ARE YOU BLIND!? Noob.Delete ur game scrub"
and Myoko say : WYHXUHHJEUXNZHAJheuhshxhuhwnhxhajnwneujdjj
im sorry i had to xd
I was thinking the same thing!!
Joe295398 yea! Another Mr. Magoo! Lol!
@@gamesghost2670 or :■■■ ■■■■■ ■■ (whatever the hell that means)
Im glad they saved one of these ships in the cleveland class. My father served aboard USS Oklahoma "Okie Boat" CG-5 Cleveland class. I cant wait to unlock the cleveland class on WOW. I will be visiting the USS Little Rock Soon.
Just read a few months ago James Fahey's PACIFIC WAR DIARY, about his three years on the USS Montpelier, a Cleveland class cruiser. One of the best books I've ever read for giving you an idea of what it was like in the US Navy in WW II. They were crucial in use as bombardment ships. Fahey says that the USS Cleveland delivered more ordnance than any other ship in WW II while the USS Montpelier, the ship on which Fahey served, was third. He served in a 40mm quad Bofor for the first half of the war, and a dual Bofor in the second half. Fahey became acquainted with Samuel Eliot Morrison, the author of the 15 volume official history of the US Navy in WW II, when Morison sailed with them for a few months. Just a great book.
There is a great photo of the Houston easily found on the Internet being towed to Pearl Harbor. The only reason she survived was because the Pacific was completely calm. You can see the deck of the Houston only a few feet from being awash. Unbelievable that it survived.
Just a great class of ships. I think the three most crucial types of ships were the Clevelands, the Fletcher class of destroyers, and the Essex class of carriers.
This is the only video that explains and summarises the main key roles of what a cruiser does...
Finally!
in 1978 I was assigned to COMSEVENTHFLT STAFF Embarked on USS OKLAHOMA CITY CLG-5. this showed me so much about the navy. knowing what I learned as a RM3 I knew I wanted to reenlist in 1980.
I will never look at my Myoko the same again...
LOL !!! he sunked an allied destroyer
i can't imagine what that DD's captain gonna say LOL...
Myoko TKer, damnit!
i guess that's a Fog Cruiser for ya.
+Chris Droste lol
+Chris Droste the Myoko wasn't a fog Cruiser it was Japanese or was it I need to watch the anime again
Just love this series! Keep the good work WG! And thank you!
Ok! Great story! And I can honestly say I have been on that ship! In fact I've spent 2 nights on it! The ship is a living museum! And she's big! Especially if you don't know your way around!!! I enjoyed my time on her! And the rest of the ships and submarine that is stationed there!!!
I served aboard The Little Rock until her decommissioning in the S2 Division. I hope to visit her again this summer for the first time since November 1976. Blessings from Kansas~
I was a Damage Controlman in the US Coast Guard and did a lot of training with the Navy we take Damage Control seriously!
T he coast guard doesnt need damage control. If the ship sinks, you only have to walk 6 feet to get gack to shore
The heaviest USN light cruisers were the Worcester class. They were at 18000ton deep load displacement and were essentially huge AA cruisers (12 dual purpose 6"/47cal guns). There were only two completed and they weren't regarded as particularly successful (guns were problematic), but they were the biggest by a large margin.
Ive visited that ship, It is docked and takes visitors in Buffalo, Ny, along with the USS Sullivan
Kerikow The Sullivan's*
10:44 Bougainville (1 November 1943 - 21 August 1945), "the first US offensive operation against Japan", really? The Guadalcanal Campaign (7 August 1942 - 9 February 1943) came before Bougainville .
This was beyond superbly done, Thank you Wargaming for a wonderful look at one of my countries finest classes of ships
We (I) always have had great respect for Russian ships. It's nice to see our respect reciprocated.
Great job! You are intellectually honest. Thank you.
The Japanese and US cruisers were very impressive. I like how they say a cruiser taking a torpedo hit is probably going to sink in 15 minutes. Those are Russian standards on naval ships, not other navies.
Pretty good balanced presentation. Good portrayal of and intro to the Cleveland class cruisers.
I love these videos using WoW as a springboard to learn more history! Thank you!
I served on the USS Oklahoma City CLG -5 Flagsip of the SEVENTHFLT , sister ship to the USS Little Rock. We saw combat action in Vietnam.
These videos are awesome keep it up! These videos are better than most on the TV lol
Another great video, with old footage and great animation
Anyone else remember the Cleveland before her first nerf? When you would be able to rotate the turrets at like 90mph and fire your shells like a DD. Good times. Good times
The next one should be Taffy 3
Unsinkable? Have you played World of Warships?
George Hill I think you know there talking about reality all 26 or 28 of them survived ww2
In Alpha/Beta they were strong as hell. Not unsinkable, but right pains in the stern. Almost impossible to citadel, and rained fire on you endlessly. They were also by far the best AA ship of tier 6, and a good deal better than many of tier 7 (and CVs were OP as fk in the early days, so that meant something).
my favorite ship in wows, much love.
Naval Legends should be a TV show.
1:35 this is some banger music
I got to sleep on the ship overnight for a Boy Scout event and it honestly was one of the coolest things ever
Excellent documentary, keep them up
I really gotta visit that ship again. It's basically right down the street from me. :D I knew there was a reason why I liked the Cleveland so much in WoWS... besides the fact that it was OP af when I first got it. =P
I love my Minekaze for getting in and slapping BB's and CV's But when i want a ship to fhave fun with it's the Cleveland Only thing i hate is Having 66% AA and 1 out of 10 battles do i get enemy CV's to use my AA on ..even more rare is having a 2 Cv's VS 2 CV game Yet i jump into any other ship class and there's a CV ...Makes me glad i didn't buy a Atlanta to find this out
Side note I'm only 50 mins from Buffalo have to see her in dock one day
say hello. and thank you for me please.
rudyossanchez
Will do
The Atlanta Is also a good Gunboat if you play her right can get 3-400 main battery shell hits in a match and rack up tons of damage
Kirt Gartner
For the money I'll stick with the cleveland
+rudyossanchez i drive by her every week and say good morning
Interesting comment about the difficulty of maintaining much of the orginal armament for GFS of shore targets (7.20-7.40) after 6 of the clevelands were modernised with Talos or Terrier. The last two survivors Oklahoma City and Little Rock retained just one triple 6 inch and a twin 5/38 but when reintroduced a lot of supplementary systems for the triple 6 had to reduced in a number of modifications and this somewhat limited the accuracy in hitting shore targets and supporting army and marine operations off Vietnam. Two of the converted cruisers Galveston and Topeka retained much more half of the orginal armament two triple 6 inch turrets and three twin 5 inch which overall must have added 400 plus tons overall with the below the deck parts of turret, ammunition weight etc. The stability problems of Galveston were substantial and it appears to have served only from 1958-1969 the Galveston not being quite complete when mothballed in 1946 and was technically a new ship when commissioned as a missile cruiser in 1958, in some ways the last real US cruiser. Nevertheless although lasting nowhere as long as Little Rock, Galveston was awesome both as a missile Talos ship and as a gun platform and was New Jersey main escort in its 68/9 tour off Vietnam and USS Galveston gave awesome supplementary fire support.
I visited the ship and its spectacular.
Can't wait to get my Cleveland tomorrow.
IJN DD Yukikaze would be really good for this series!
Wish they saved the ship. Got scraped, save the anchor and propeller.
Blame Taiwan. From what I hear, they decided to scrap her even while the campaign to bring her home to Japan was in full swing.
Let's not forget what that Chinese engineering ship did to the wreck of Amatsukaze before the right people intervened...
its because the last captain had yukikaze out in typhoon and shipwrecked her
Why use imperial measurements in the video when the game uses metric?
This is for the folks on the NA server, the metric versions of those videos are on WG's EU Channel.
Thanks!
I'm sure this ship's tour guide would be like "What is this "kilometer" you speak of?"
I know what you mean. I only know naval guns from this game and they're all in mm in-game, moreover I was in the Army and everything is mm there too. I have no idea how many inches a Bradley gun is but I know it's 25mm for example. So it's like wtf is 6 inches?
Not too hard to memorize a few numbers... I know Imperial measurements only, but I've just learned what the metric ones are... 100mm=4in, 127mm = 5in, 152mm=6in, 180mm=7in, 203mm=8in, 356mm=14in, 410mm=16in
U.S. industry: "what do you need?"
U.S. military: "guns... lots of guns."
US industry: You got it chief!
_Later..._
US military: God damit theres to many guns for the rockets to fit on this ship!
US industry: Well you asked for it!
Fantastic Video, TY WG
Wow, a ship that has the title of Unsinkable that Actuially hasn’t sunk.
Now you guys just need to do the Croaker and you'll have done everything at the naval park lol
WoWs submarines confirmed lol
These videos are so good.
One of the few bright spots living in buffalo is having the. USS Little Rock(Cleveland) and The The Sullivan (Fletcher) 20 ft apart from eachother to go visit.
The Sullivans*
i live just outside of buffalo. i see that ship every day going to work. its fucking glorious
Just found out my 2x great uncle served on USS Santa Fe (CL-60) during ww2.
My dad served on that ship in the 1960s.
Really like these, wouldn't mind seeing more ships which arent from the us though
Sergey Zhebrovsky has Freidman's book on US Battleship design under his right arm, which indicates they had good sources. Friedman's book on US cruisers is not visible, but I assume they had it nearby. Now, who's for seeing a USS Worchester in World of Warships? LOL and you thought the Cleveland had a fast rate of fire? Auto-load and radar directed fire that was the same as the USS Atlanta? Oh yeah!
I love these videos..now with the battles using game engine is even better :D
Those 3inch kind of like the German 1.5 inch gun
Georgios averof Naval legends please! :)
oh yeahh indeed it would be great,also adding her at WoW
:D καλησπερααααα
Καλησπέρα!
I'm asking them to... Would like to have an excuse to visit my family in Athens!
1:35 pirates of the Carrabin
Are you sure?
@@boxsoldier9558 yup, they just play the song at a slower pace. Just watch this and then immediately after play the Pirates of the Caribbean theme afterwards and you'll hear it
But doesn’t Belfast also have 6 inch guns still on the ship so there not the last 6 inch left or am I missing something
Should totally do the HMS Belfast next. Since... you know. She has 6 inch guns and all? :D
Sorry, you got it wrong HMS Belfast still has 6-inch guns all her 4 triple 6-inch guns are intact.
Make an episode on HMS Belfast please
plz talk about the naval legends of HMS Blucher
10:38 a wild sea Sherman appears
Lots of errors in this video, starting with the cruisers original purpose. They were fast scouts for the fleet in the days before aircraft. Their role changed during WWII. In the Atlantic and Mediterranean their key role was convoy escorts, anti-submarine duty and close fire support during the various amphibious operations. Also they had a significant anti-aircraft role in the Mediterranean. In the Pacific it changed as the fast battleships (Iowas) and fleet carriers could out pace almost anything afloat. Their role as strong antiaircraft platforms became increasingly important particularly as Japan reverted to using Kamikazes.
Please do one on USS William D Porter !!!!
Omg yes
Ughhh....I don't think that's a good idea....
what is that thing on minute 15:45
can you do a Naval Legends episode with Battleship Roma of the Regia Marina ?
that 2 ships already sunk thought probally gonna take from armada or 1:42 scale
Cleve-bro STONK in reallife 😱
I played this ship when the hit points about10%, I shot 20 planes which bring torpedo and bomb. Also, I saved one of the teammates during the fight. Love this ship and its nostalgia. :D
My dad served on the little Rock
It's funny to think some of destroyers guns are Yamatos Anti aircraft guns
How come Yamato didn’t have country code before the the name like the USN
It did all Japanese ships do but they aren’t apart of the name per say like the American like The Germans I don’t really hear alms Bismarck only Bismarck and second the Japanese were IJN.
7:34 Theres 2 6 inch guns on M33 and 2 more on HMS Caroline
Doesn’t the Belfast have six inch guns and is currently a museum in London? So that’s kinda false when he said he the Little Rock has the only six inch guns in the world
Good girl, Cleveland. :)
Unsinkable Cleveland I’m like aww yeah
4:57 What about the battleships? It's well known that battleships provided the most amount of anti-aircraft protection to the carriers.
Cyberphobe expensive to build and not really worth it
Yeah even compared to heavy cruisers, light cruiser had a lot better AA for third displacement than battleships plus their were only 4 battleships which were The Iowa class that even could efficiently escort Carriers.
@@apex_blue You're forgetting the South Dakota and North Carolina class battleships which did an excellent job providing AA cover to US carries. Enterprise was saved many times by the AA cover of North Carolina.
@@trevorpollo yes they did that’s why I said efficiently because they often did not not have the speed to keep up with the group at full speed.
Heh - I'll remember this next time Me and my Clan mates go in a Cleveland Division
The USS Little Rock never saw any combat during WWII as she wasn't finished until mid 1945
I'm surprised the city of Cleveland didn't want to make a museum ship out of the namesake vessel.
North Carolina please?
Myoko pilots ships like Mr. Magoo!
i love the way he says oerlikon
If they were "unsinkable" hiw come little rock is the last one?
The rest of the ships were scrapped.
th-cam.com/video/MSUsC75KU1Y/w-d-xo.htmlm45s "The battle of Bougainville went down in history as the first American offensive operation against Japan."
Ok... correct me if I'm wrong... but I'm pretty sure that the Bougainville campaign occurred after the invasion of Guadalcanal. An invasion would be considered an offensive, thus the Bougainville campaign is /NOT/ the first US offensive operation against Japan.
It also can't be claimed as the first island taken under the island hopping strategy as some smaller islands were already taken prior to the invasion of Bougainville.
This statement bothered me a lot... as you can see =P. Could have been lost in translation, though I have a feeling it wasn't.
Also... to those stating that all naval battles occurred in open ocean... far from land and thus complain that maps around/near islands are not a realistic area for combat... This video shows off the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay. =P
Looks like Des Moines but they have only have six inch guns and thinner armors
Imagine a Cleveland with 16 inchers
It would be on the bottom.....
Check history. Guadalcanal came before Bougainville.
Emagine if this was in world of warships and myoko rammed the friendly destroyer.......the chat would be full of ........stuff xD
uss Cleveland vs hms belfast?
what is the song playing at 1:30
My Father in Law gave me his plank from this beauty.
Lol...the "Unsinkable" cleveland... yeah at T6
Basically an American old-school Mogami with better AA and no torpedos.
Good Video. Excellent work. I wish there were more of these.
Little Rock does seem to be a little modernized though, oh well now I know
Plus, music is to quiet
I prefer the previous voiceover to this one tbh
Sendai: YASEN!
