H1MIN: LSM(R) U.S. NAVY ROCKET SHIPS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 เม.ย. 2021
- The LSM(R) was the U.S. Navy’s introduction of a new class of rocket support ship in late WW2. Modified from existing landing ships, it was an interim design to provide heavier inshore bombardment to support amphibious landings.
The evolution of rocketry design was also interesting with innovations from engineers at Caltech. (California Institute of Technology)

Very detailed book on the subject:
"The US Navy's 'Interim' LSM(R)s in World War II: Rocket Ships of the Pacific Amphibious Forces" by Ron MacKay, Jr.

You can make it 10 minutes and i'd still watch every second of it
that's history channel with ads
@@rasdread0989 history channel is kinda garbo these days these guys get straight to the point
@@billyborton5136 exactly, what i mean is they'd stretch a substance this much into 10 or more minutes
Mark Felton has an excellent lengthier video on these
@@Valks-22 im a big fan of Mark but he misses the perfect animations of this channel
*japanese solider heating his morning rice*
*looks up and sees the entire sky darken with weird shaped birds*
it's basically an american hwacha
Yes an explosive hwatcha
I'm sorry but what? The Japanese produced modern aircraft that were superior to ours until late in the war, they had radar (though not produced as widely as we had) and genuinely better or equal capital ships. They know what rockets are, they were modern soldiers.
What even
@@RobinTheBot In quite certain it was a joke.
If you consider 1943 the 'end of the war', then yes, they had equal or superior aircraft.
@@timg2088 you can't just use different words and call it a quote. "Late jn the war" after several decisive and costly battles, and the pivotal battle of Midway. The war after that was a brutal finishing move, and everyone including Japanese high command knew the war was lost. They no longer had the materials to conduct new aircraft design and production while also maintaining war time productions.
That absolutely counts as late in the war, and the central point that the Japanese were not savage tribals who couldn't identify a weapon as simple and recognized as a missile is still solid.
That's such a lame joke tbh.
I love these high quality videos
This is so f**** crazy animation
It's at least 3 weeks of production for each video
Assuming they aren't purchasing then 3d assets
“How many rockets do you want sir?”
“Yes”
"How many can you fit?"
“Yes”
@@whitetiger9961 All.
@@MTeipen I also heart funny story about MBT 70.
Engineers came with list of possible realized innovations:
-20mm remote controlled autocannon cannot with horizontal and vertical stabilization and possiblity to choose from 2 types of ammo (you no need to exit from tank to do that);
-change position of driver to the special rotating capsule, connected to turret and another seemingly good, but never realized before technologies.
Answer to question "which of these technologies you want to realize?" Was "Yes" or something like that.
Engineers didn't understand and gave check list with technologies.
generals market ALL THAT PAGE with one big ✓
@@user-cl4kc4st7z Generals were: "We'll take your entire stock"
Reloading was lightening quick I bet.
12 business day lol
I mean as long as you had the ammo nearby it should be too bad. Just have a line of people handing rockets off to each other. The were gravity fed
You don't reload the magazine but simply replace them with a loaded one.
Easy for you, maybe. Aren't they at least 50 lbs each?
@@timg2088 I mean with a long line of young guys handing the rockets to each other maybe
This channel is so underrated it almost hurts me
Problem is that the deck would be extremely hot after firing.
Firing that salvo for the first time must have been terrifying for the crew. And also each additional salvo. And also just being on a lightly armored ship packed to the gills with rockets.
Well using it while having sea and air supremacy surely helped
I clicked on this faster than my dad left for milk
sameeeee
Cowards! My old man told me straight up and if I tried looking for him, that he'd break my legs.
@@surq0784 sick
Omfg
😂
How did i get so lucky to experience a video from this channel on its first hours of release?
Also the amount of positive feedback on the comments is really nice
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for your support and comment!
These animations are just next level! Awesome work
i specifically remember a campaign in CoD: World At War with these in the intro part of that mission
The water looks amazing!
Awesome video.
In the 60's, one LSMR ,The USS Elk River was converted and used in the "man in the sea" project, for the United States Navy. After that it was used primarily as a Saturation diver school for highly qualified Navy divers. During its man in the sea and Saturation diver phase it was no longer considered The USS Elk River, but designated DTV Elk River IX501. (DTV is the abbreviation for Diver Training Vessel and IX is the ships classification - Expiramental? It was showcased on a few documentaries, TV shows and even one complete episode of The Bionic Woman. Sadly the ' Moose Creek" (what some of the Elk River sailors called the ship) found her Forever resting place, in the Pacific Ocean.
Very interesting story! It does seem that many of these were sold for commercial use after their service. Thank you for sharing.
Three of the later class LSMR's went to Vietnam, and used for fire support. They were the USS Clarion River, White River and ST Francis River.
These videos are pretty good, keep these up! 👏🏻
Yes, another video
Yes, it is another video. Good observation 38 Speacial.
I thought you already did this one. Turns out this is the bigger sister to the LCT(R), which is the one you did previously.
Interesting to see this one having angle-adjustable rockets while the other one doesn't.
The gravity feed system is cool too didn't know the US made something like that.
@@divebombexpert2619 those yankees started planes with shotgun shells (coffman engine starter)
Gravity fed rockets is nothing compared to that (the gravity feeding system)
Btw, i do realise why the coffman starter was used, its compact, lightweight, effective. No need for a starter motor + batteries (= really heavy) or a big flywheel (= also really heavy) or a pneumatic compressor + airtanks (= you guessed it, also heavy). Only downside is having to reload the cartridge before starting
@@HvV8446 I am a yankee
Looks like the US has a knack for making things a light a simple when it comes to military equipment (grease gun & how easy it was to replace the Sherman’s gearbox) especially compared to whatever the germans were doing.
Also didn’t know about the starter neat stuff thanks
@@HvV8446 ; Brits are used a shotgun starter, even on some jet aircraft.
@@divebombexpert2619 easy maintainance is one of the most important things. They dont say for nothing the only part that never breaks is the one that was never there. (I.e. simple = less parts to break)
I love this channel's concept so much. You can learn the basics of something in "one" minute, while other channels would make a whole 10-minute video on the same thing
This channel takes it's time to make quality content, the others just make many videos to make money easy and fast.
I would associate youtube nowadays (majority of it) with the quote "If I Had More Time, I Would Have Written a Shorter Letter" from Blaise Pascal.
This ship was on Call of Duty World at War too!
In the “Little Resistance” Peleliu landing level, you can call rocket strikes on Japanese bunkers. Really loved to spam it on some poor Japanese riflemen. Haha
This channel is criminally underrated
Im calling it- this is 100% gonna be a warthunder material grind event premium (if not a battlepass premium)
Nice to see you back
Those water animations look good!
I saw one of these ships when it visited the US Naval Base in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was in the 5th or 6th grade. This would have been around 1953. The pier was a short walk from the school and our PE teacher, a Marine, would sometimes take us to look at ships and sometimes go aboard. Sometimes we’d get ice cream. An avid sci- fi reader at the time, when I heard “rocket ship” I got really excited, only to be disappointed when I saw the real thing. Of course, none of the launchers were loaded. I remember seeing a submarine and perhaps a destroyer on other outings. The Navy shared the airfield on the north side of the base with the civilian airlines. I think we only got one outing to the airfield the 4 years I was there.
Nice to have you back. I always love to see your videos. :)
Thank you for the awesome videos
The production quality is otherworldly. This is so underrated.
I love this channel.
I always loved watching these ships in the WaW clips
Amazing video!
awesome work luv your vids keep going
Richard here: I served as Comm Officer on the USS Clarion River (LSMR 409) from July 65 to January 67. This class LSMR had 8 trainable rocket launchers that could fire 2 rockets every 4 seconds. We shot 3 range rockets: 2500, 5000 and 10,000 yard rockets. We put the ship back in commission at Hunters Point in mid '65', and after training in California, went to our new homeport of Yokosuka, Japan. Most of '66' was spent on the gun-line in Vietnam. Our crew was 7 officers and 130 enlisted.
This channel is a must subscribe for every lover of military history
Very underrated channel, keep the good work man
Just started watching your videos and I'm loving them. Animation is great, content is great and the weapons and equipment you talk about are mostly things I never heard of (UGS Manta) or something I know or heard of but didn't know how it worked (UP AA rocket). Keep up the great content.
This channel is one of the best and beautiful of TH-cam
There’s an LSM in 90 ft. of water just off Pattaya, Thailand. Great dive!
Probably CoD WaW fan will remember these ships from one of the first missions of the Pacific campaign
Really good video as always thank you! It is also worth noting, that while firing a salvo the ship basically had to be moving at flank speed forward, to prevent the salvo's recoil propelling it backwards
The quality is extremely good
I remeber playing cod world at war in okinawa campaign, and i literally enjoy the rocket launcher everytime.
MAN U'RE MAKING MASTERPIECE
YOU’RE BACK! HUZZAH!
I love these high quality videos I love these high quality videos I love these high quality videos I love these high quality videos I love these high quality videos I love these high quality videos !!!!
First time I see a channel that all videos are great
The animations are so clean
Imagine not only seeing enemy ships that will bring troops and attack you but also see the give you firework show straight to hell
A powerfull show from *AMERICA*
Simple, and very effective
This channel deserves to be recognized.
Looking forward for your patreon account
Cool format, BTW. Love the compact, informative pieces. KUTGW!
I can hear a radio saying
*_Barrage-salvo HE, Waco eight one, Azimuth 35,Range 28 on the way_*
And then Nostalgia
Lemme guess call of duty : world at war
Little resistance chapter
Ah ha! So that’s the rocket ship we see in the one mission in call of duty world at war.
I never thought I’d see those ships agine. Let alone learn what they where.
General TH-camr : ASMR
Military TH-camr :
"You see that Tojo controlled position private?"
"Yes Lieutenant."
"I don't want to."
"Copy that Lieutenant."
LSM(R) basically just Navy version of Katyusha
It takes so long between uploads but goddamn if the animation isn't worth the wait
Love these videos! Keep up the great work!
Glad you like them!
As always, a superb video that imparts a great deal of information in a short time! May this channel's subscriber count grow exponentially!
This hard work deserves more views and subs.
Love your channel man, yours along with others remind me of the good ole days of the military history channel. When it’s name actually made sense that is.
I first learned about this when i was doing research for a presentation and my first reaction was:
Well this is just murica' beeing murica'
Meet their distand landbound relatives: Good old Katyusha
Another amazing video. Thank you.
Glad I subbed earlier today. Love your content.

Nice!
Top notch, as always 👍🏼

"American sea Katyusha isn't real, it can't hurt you."
American sea Katyusha:
Your videos are always so great man!
I love rocket artillery. Massive firepower, quick deployment, quick launch and quick retreat. Ignoring the problem of inaccuracy and long reload time.
The US Navy has recognized it deficient in firepower for current amphibious operations. They have considered bringing back the Battleship or the 1990s Arsenal Ship concept. I believe a modernized LSM(R) would be perfect for the role.
Yeeeess finally a new vid
I got you Miller! You're still in one piece!
animation crazy good
Look at that water effect animation :o
Having been rocketed myself, I can say they are not a particularly deadly weapon, having an explosive blast but little fragmentation. Artillery is both more potent and dangerous. Rockets drive people to shelter, cause loss of sleep and hurt morale. I was knocked off my feet by a rocket landing 1 or 2 meters away and had my “bell rung.” The man standing next to me had several surgeries over time to remove small fragments. All in all, a good weapon for the enemy to use. Lots of show, very little in the way of meaningful results, other than keeping your head down.
A sizeable proportion of civilian casualties from terror bombing during WW2 were caused by blast pressure waves. The blast wave from the explosion as it passes the victim momentarily forces very high pressure air into the victims lungs which overinflates the alveoli air sacs and as a consequence ruptures the web of fine blood vessels which surround the sacs. Then the almost immediate severe drop in air pressure as the blast wave moves past causes a momentary low vacuum that effectively sucks the now higher pressured blood flow from the ruptured vessels and fills the alveoli with blood, leaving the victim to drown in their own fluids whilst leaving the victim's body virtually unmarked, the process is known as "barotrauma".
I'm guessing from what you say that a firework may have landed near you.
My Dad was on a rocket gunship. #338 for 2 years. 1944 and 45..
good vids ...looking forward to longer ones
Keep up the good work! I love it
Great quality!
Came here to say
I thought LSMR was like ASMR but for ships.
Ok thanks for coming bye.
Let’s gooooo
Awsome as always!
Japanese people eating breakfast in morning and see a big rain but actually rocket
Your videos are perfect in all respects save one -- they end far too quickly.
Exquisite work!
One for the algorithm, good job
this ship is shown on call of duty world at war little resistance mission!
I love how they put a 5-in gun on the ship as if it didn't have enough fire power already
Awesome
I remember using these like one time playing Battlestations Pacific and they were fucking amazing at destroying bases.
Great animation work bravo
Finally i know the ship that i saw on the documentary for a long time that can fire rockets,i thought they are included in battleship or destroyer
nice
I always wondered about these things ever sine I've seen them in World at War and in several ww2 books
The OG nube tube.
Good video bro
Basically, a floating panzerwerfer or katyusha with guns and more rockets
This is why Japanese forces eventually gave up even trying to contest landings, they retreated far in-land and fought on the high ground. I wonder if the allies ever considered deploying these on land?
"15 seconds"
"10 seconds"
"5 seconds"
"Fire support ready, state your target"
Gives me world at war flashback there
