It's nice to hear the story of the AUDACIOUS, because I as a TITANIC Historian, only knew till now of the OLYMPIC'S part in it (and as such I have always been curious).
Thank you, that was a great summary where I only ever really knew the overview. I remember reading something about passengers on the Olympic reporting the loss of a battleship, but the British press was embargoed so it was a confusion for a while
Amazing that a single mine can sink a battleship. When “the stars align”…so to say, the mighty can indeed fall. What should, by all rights, have been a survivable incident turned in to the loss of a huge warship. The phrase “sh*t happens” comes to mind. Unreal…
Sad about the only casualty, but at least the Audacious crew could fight another day. Yesterday, I did get Hasegawa's 1/700 Hikawa Maru, which will help for my comic about Musashi, and fundamentally, Leyte Gulf, even if she, and her sisters wheren't present during Musashi's career. Take care, and all the best.
Another Awesome 😎 Video. Thank you for your work. Keep it up. 👍

Nice video. For naval videos "Ship turning over" is called capsizing.
Many thanks. Very informative.
Excellent. Well researched, sir.

Several of the battleships you listed as being sunk were in fact battle cruisers
I said "five dreadnought era capital ships." That includes battleships and battlecruisers. Thanks for commenting.
