The biggest thing I took from this, is the fact that the US clearly built some damn good ships.
The US certainly built a damn lot of ships. I heard by the end of the war the USA still had 72 aircraft carriers alone above the waves.
We still do 😉

While not directly a warship, the US coast guard still operates the former Horst Wessel as the training ship Eagle.
Horst Wessel. The Jewish man accused by the Nazis as starting the Reichstag fire as an excuse to assume total power.
@@jamesdunn9714 Not even close... That would be Marinus van der Lubbe. Horst Wessel was a early Nazi killed in clashes with the KPD prior to Hitler's rise to power
@@jamesdunn9714 wasn't that a dutch communist

I served on TWO WW2 warships, in the USN, in the 1980s, USS Proteus (AS-19) and USS Midway (CV-41).
The USS Constitution is still listed as in active service.
My dad served on the USS Quapaw (ATF-110), a Abnaki-class tug, that towed the USS New Jersey out of mothballs back in the 80's.
It's interesting to see those Abnaki-class fleet tugs still operating in 2019. My last ship was Abnaki-class USS Quapaw(ATF-110), commissioned in 1944 and decommissioned forty years later. All of the fleet tugs are named after American Indian tribes, and since I was the last man to be advanced to CPO on-board, it meant that I was the last Chief of the Quapaw!
Wow, the USCGC Citrus, Cowslip and Sassafras are former WLB buoy tenders and I served on the Planetree (WLB307) as engineer (MK3, E-4). Mine decommissioned and scrapped in 2018. Im glad to see they live on. They are diesel electric propulsion, 180 ft with a 38 ft beam. They were tough little vessels but scary in heavy seas. I remember taking a 47 degree roll on it. I thought we were going to capsize.
Hell yeah! More videos from Mark! Keep up the great work
You forgot to cover the Canadian Navies Canoe Class canoe. First used by Jacques Cartier in 1588. It's still in Canadian front line service. Also, the Viking class, Viking Longboat used by Leif Erikson in 1043 AD. It's currently a refit getting upgraded paddles in a new sail, made from old Ottawa Senators hockey jerseys. Duct tape and bailing wire is state-of-the-art picked up at a Canadian Tire year end sale.
Let me guess. The Nigerian Navy scammed their ships out of other countries, whilst pretending to be Nigerian princes, or perhaps said the other World navies had won some sort of lotto?
Amazing as always! :)
What about the HMS Victory. Launched in 1765 she is still a commissioned warship and is flagship to the First Sea Lord.
French navy : the FS Belle-Poule and FS Étoile, two pre-WWII schooners; they went to Great Britain in 1940 and went on to serve as some of the first Free French Navy ships. Still active today as training ships.
Fascinating stuff, some very well built and maintained vessels.
What about the USS Pueblo - still a commissioned US Navy vessel.

I am once again in awe of your devotion to the less glamorous items of history, and to proper historical detail. In this spirit, I must mention that you refer to some armament being obtained from a United States WW II frigate, but to the best of my knowledge, the U.S. did not use the designation frigate at that time.
As is usual, pointing out the one quibble takes as much space as acknowledging the overall excellence of a piece. Ah, well.
Thanks again Mark. Your videos are better than anything on TV. Thanks for your Unbiased Deliveries. They make for enthralling videos.
Great video again keep up the great work you rock!
Good job Mark....love the vids !
you are spoiling us.thanks a lot Mark!
Mark you forgot the MV Liemba on Lake Tanganyika. She was built as the SMS Graf von Goetzen in Germany in 1913 and best known from the movie "African Queen"
She is still around.
Great research! Excellent information...as always. cheers 🍻
A friend of mine served on YRBM-20. RIP Keith.
R. I. P. To the person.
Love these.
Great uploads as per usual
My buddy was stationed on the YRBM20 back in the 1980s when his ship was being refitted. I felt really sorry for him as the berths were tiny and very cramped.
There are several USN floating drydocks from
WWII still in service per Wikipedia
I’m genuinely shocked the Canadian navy doesn’t have any 80 year old junk.
The Philippine Navy operates several WW2 vessels including Auk class minesweepers and PCE 842 class patrol ships.
0:54, this ship has a sister ship USS Mercer (APL-39) commissioned in 1944 and serving in Sasebo, Japan. There are several parts of the ship which are off-limits due to asbestos.
Great video mark
The Philippines still have a few LST’s in service.
Right, we sold the USS Coco Puff to the Mexican navy.
Mark could you please make a video on the sinking of HMS Sheffield or HMS Coventry?
The Cactus Class seem like useful ships.
In Genoa(Italy) there is a 1915 pontoon crane, it was used to assemble the Graf Spee and the Tirpiz. Now it is still used to civil operation.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langer_Heinrich_(crane_1915)
You mix up 133' WLM buoy tenders and 180" WLB buoy tenders when speaking of the Dominican Republic Navy. Both are WW2-era or just prior and the DR Navy has both. Love your videos!
The one picture at 1:26 on the play is not the YRBM 20, it is the yrbm 16 at Chau Doc.
In the Brazilian Navy, the river tanker (now Logistic Support Ship, after a refit in the 90`s) "Potengi" (1935), that serves with the Monitor "Parnaíba", was forgotten.
I think you might be forgetting another ship if you ever watch the show deadliest catch the boat the wizard was actually a World War II Oiler she was built in 1942.
I think the video was suppose to be about ships still in military service.
There are more of the old LSTs being used as Berthing barges by the US Navy. I know of one in Yokosuka and one in Sasebo as of 2014. While I think they have since been moved, I suspect they are still sitting around some where, possibly the "Army pier" in Yokohama where all sorts of old stuff ends up.
I was an ex navy personal and this chanel enlighten me
How on earth did that old Tug take 4 missile hits and only loose 8 Crew?
Did we warn them before we launched the attack? if not i think we need to examine the effectiveness of those missiles.....
Great work as always keep em coming....
They could have been glancing blows. Tis merely a flesh wound. I've had worse!
Excellent vid.
I know the Iowa class battleships are meant for war, but imagine them riding the waves again.
Great stuff
G'day Mark, OK I'm an ex Air Force type who should know better but I didn't know about ⅔ of the countries you mentioned even had navies. Always great to learn something from your outstanding videos. Cheers, BH
Clearly the cactus class vessels are a seriously good design. Quite a lot of them still in use.
Fascinating history about these old gals!
More Please!
Those Coast Guard Cutters, my dad knows of everyone and even been on a couple of them
The Russian navy still has the submarine tender Kommuna, which is a pre-WW1 vessel.
Doc how do you track these things down? Purchase records or something?
You can Goggle most of it.
What technical issue are you referring to? I'm still curious to know.
Hmmm, how about a video about Museum Ships worth seeing? Such as HMS Warrior, the first warship with hull made completely out of steel, ORP Błyskawica, or Mikasa, the only Pre-Dreadnought battleship still afloat today?
US Navy still uses APL-32, same sort of thing as a YRBM only larger. It was built in 1943 I believe. I lived on it in 1977.
What about USS Cutlass?
She now serves the ROC Navy and is planned to still serve into the 2020s
Is this a re-upload?
A small correction. The ship shown at 2:47 is actually an Admirable class minesweeper, the USS Pivot (AM-276). She served with the USN until 1948. She was then sold to Taiwan (Republic of China) and recommissioned as the Yung Shou (AM 49). She served with the ROCS Navy until she was scrapped in 1970.
Amazing cranes!
gorgerous , david from barcelona
Very interesting and well done! Thanks. My guess is we are not going to see modern constriction vessels in service 80 years later.
Sure you will how else is the Philippines going to get free ships .
Interesting about these buoy tenders. My father's first ship, USCG buoy and lighthouse tender 'Anemone' was sent to the Philippines just after the war ended, was soon sunk by a typhoon, re-floated and still in service in the 1970's, but built in 1909. Yet his LST 760 was cut up as soon as it returned to the states, not 4 years old. In a nutshell, if you want these things to last over 100 years, get a good paintbrush.
Technically isn’t the USS Arizona Memorial still a commissioned vessel?
according to wikipedia the USS Pueblo is still in service but is captured by the North Koreans. It was commissioned and launched in april of 45.
Amazing that these vessels still flat, much less serve. Also amazing effort to track down all this story.
36736fps - Flat?
I believe Nigeria also has an ex irish navy ship Malta does too
UUS LSt-510 currently operates as a ferry
Is this a re upload mark ?
Oh I just read the description
There are more WW2 Naval vessels still serving somewhere.
Mark, is there such a thing as “old ships that may come back into service?”
The U.S Navy Reserve fleet also known as the Mothball fleet .
What about the USS Pueblo which is currently still active in commission on the US Navy roster? Despite it being held captive by the North Koreans for the past 50 years.
Hey Mark, have you or will you ever talk about the theory of Hitler surviving the war and moving to Argentina?
I doubt he will,
He covers less know historical facts or story’s with some truth behind them.
There is a great podcast about hitler's death, is the WW2 podcast hosted by Angus Wallace. The most recent episode addresses Hitler's death and the subsequent investigation that followed. Its worth checking out
4 Times as Interesting - No because it’s bollocks. He deals with facts.
Hitler didn't go to Argentina. Rediculous. Hitler did escape Berlin in march 1945, disguised as a British soldier. He then crossed into Switzerland and took a flight to French occupied Morocco, them taking ship to south Africa where he traveled by land to modern Tanzania. Here he took ship, stopping in Sri lanka for 4 days, eventually making it to Thailand where he finished his days under the persona of a Dutch leatherworker.
Hitler died in 1971.
I ve always noticed this funny-looking crane in Saint Petersburg
What about the USCG Henry Blake? Not sure if she's WWII.
What could that be on the underside of the bow on that German Submarine? Never saw that before! At 2:12.
Icebreaker ERMAK / YERMAK would be a nice story.
Just because it's old it doesn't mean it's bad
Isn’t there a K.u.K Kriegsmarine river monitor still in use in Hungary?
USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) check this ship out
2:35 LOL
7:30 That's 120 mm.
I got one.....the V3 London Gun for next video please
wow i didnt knoww so many old ships remain in service
There are even more in commercial service. A lot of former US Navy ships even became privately owned yachts and so on. One retired navy officer bought the tug he last captained and lived on it until his death.
What’s the difference between war gift and looting?
When you mentioned the Argentinian ship serving in the Falklands war I thought you would also reference the General Belgrano, formerly the USS Phoenix. The sinking of the Belgrano is one of the most controversial acts of recent British history although I personally believe the correct action was taken.
Wow the Coast Guard dishing out some serious fire power to other countries
1:44 you are forgetting the USS Missouri it might be a museum ship right now but if it has to it can be called to active duty because that’s what happened to it during the Gulf War it was recall to active duty so that she is actually still active in My book. That’s exactly what happened in 1991 when she was sent back to war she was a museum ship before that that’s why it takes two phone calls one from the president and one from the secretary of defense then about two weeks she’ll be back to work.
SuperAgentman007 - Er not quite. All the New Jersey class have been formally struck off and removed from the register. Much equipment has been removed and they are no longer seaworthy. The Missouri’s engines have not run since 1992 and when she was moved in 1995 and 1998 she had to be towed as her engines were no longer operable. She underwent a cosmetic refurbishment in 2009 which cured some hull leaks.
I don't know if this counts. The USS YMS-328, a WWII Minesweeper. Being used as a tour boat, she was owned by John Wayne for about 17 years... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_YMS-328
Very Cool. Thank You.
Don't forget the ARA GENERAL BELGRANO, still serving......as and artificial reef...
Ancient Mariner - Britannia rules the waves! 🇬🇧
Please, have a little bit of respect, I’m Argentinean and for example I don’t insult the crew of HMS Sheffield.
So glad the Arges are planning to make their tug a museum. I mean, a ship with that history deserves to be remembered.
What about the Auk-class minesweepers and PCE-class ships of the Philippine Navy?
See Part 1
Its surprising that the Argentine ship was hit by four sea skua missiles and is still in service.
HMS Lancaster?
USS Coco Puff.......Sure sign the US built so many ships during WW II that they simply ran out of names.
What about pre ww 1
Jacob riddle - HMS Victory?
Do Operation Wikinger
Did that crane seriously lift an entire u boat?!
I belive that we in Denmark still opereres a few traningcrafts dating back to the 30ties.
And the royal barge is more than 80 years old.
