📼Video Summary:
The USS Arizona is the famous battleship was destroyed during the Attack on Pearl Harbor - Dec 7, 1941. It was commissioned in 1916 and traveled to many place throughout the world. The battleship has 4 triple turrets - making a total of twelve 14inch guns. Loading one of these turrets involves Powder Hoists, Shell Hoists, the Mechanical Rammer, Platform Trays, and Breech Block. The ship had 8 decks, the ships engines and boiler rooms were located on the bottom deck. The bomb that destroyed the Arizona landed by turret #2 and probably landed in one of the magazine rooms. The explosion killed most of the men on board. Today there is a memorial constructed overtop of the Arizona - you can see this in person if you visit Hawaii. The Shrine Room contains the names of all those that were killed on the Arizona.

Excellent work!
My grandfather was one of the men that survived the attack on the Arizona and fought the rest of the war. When he passed away, his wish was to rejoin his fellow sailors, so his ashes were taken down by divers. It was a great and sad ceremony but something that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for making this video.
May your grandfather rest in peace
Un Héroe de Guerra.
RIP Sir! I'm curious, did you ever tell you how he survived that ordeal? I'm curious. Did he just survive the bombs & made his way to the water & eventually the shore?
@@krisdavis1470 He said he was sitting with his mates on the front of the ship and a second later all hell broke loose. He said he saw a pilot very vividly and saw what he thought was a Japanese flag but had never seen a zero in person prior to that day. He told me that as quickly as the attack happened, it was over.
@@ScottCooper136I got the chills reading that. A lot of the stories I've read and the videos Ive watched of the men who survived all seem to start out the same way. How they were just doing their thing, hanging around and then chaos. And as quick as it happened, it's over.
1. The reason the Missouri faces Arizona is because she watches over the wreck and the victims may rest in peace.
2. Five brothers died that day on USS Arizona.
3. She was full of fuel to set sail the following day back to the states.
4. USS Nevada bombarded Japanese and German defenses using the guns salvaged from Arizona
5. Last Arizona survivor died in 2019.
Not exactly true. Lou Conter is still alive as of August 2023 at 101 years old.
Lou Conter still around.
The five brothers died on the USS Juneau. They were the Sullivan brothers. There were 23 sets of brothers and a father and son who died on the USS Arizona.
Aloha, Actually 23 sets of brothers & a father & son passed on that fateful day. One survivor is still alive & Lou Conter is 101 years old. Not to be disrespectful as I am stoked you know so much. Sincerely Chris
@justinfowler2857 thanks for the information
There's another battleship sunk in pearl harbor, the much lesser known USS Utah. She capsized as a result of the attack on Dec 7th 1941, and was rolled over by salvage efforts in early 1944, but never fully recovered. 58 men went down with her. Still an interesting place to visit.
Hmmm Utah was not a battleship.
Hmmm I wonder what that BB-31 designation was supposed to mean 🤔
Do tell how the Utah is not a Battleship. Everything I have read suggest otherwise.
@@tom22366 I suspect it is because the Utah was being used as a training ship at the time, although it was STILL a battleship and on the registry, even if it was in back-line service.
Utah is on the other side of the island
Jared, well done. I was stationed in Hawaii and visited the Arizona memorial, before USS Missouri arrived at Pearl in '98. While my family and I were there, a recently deceased crewman from the USS Arizona was being taken down into the wreck, to be with his shipmates. It was a somber reminder of the madness of war and the eternal bonds of camaraderie that servicemen have with each other.
Great work on modeling and animating such a complex ship. I appreciate how you integrate the history and present into the story of Pearl Harbor.
Yea
Am loving his tutorials
It’s so cool to see two amazing education modelers admiring each other!
I always kind of have the feeling that you two are the same person...
One of the bombs hit near turret number 2. Killing a lot of men
Hahahhahahahahaha the battleship mo I near the arazona mormril

Don’t forget those guys who desperately attempted to rescue the sailors who drowned inside the Arizona later that day. Just try to think how hardly they tried to cut through the armored steel while Arizona was sinking, it must have been so terrible to see them drowning and their bodies where never been recovered.
Very true - reading some of those stories is very sobering
That was the Oklahoma.
@@NK-qn6pq I’m sure this sort of rescue efforts happened all over the place. Oklahoma is probably better known for the sailors getting trapped because it capsized instead, and didn’t blow up like Arizona did. Now that’s the kind of slow death I’d have nightmares about.
@@NK-qn6pq Not only Oklahoma but nearly every battleship sunk that day had men trapped in air pockets down inside the hulls, few of those survived. Those few who did were able to find ways out and were not "cut out" as those few rescued from Oklahoma were.
Both Arizona and the Utah, sunk on the far side of Ford Island still have men entombed in them. Most or all of the bodies of the dead were retrieved from all the other ships including the Oklahoma as part of the salvage effort.
And that one casino land abandoned them all by swimming into the middle of the sea like a coward.
-Germsmany bombing USAmerica with zero fighter troops
Thanks for an awesome video, Jared! My uncle was a US Navy hard-hat diver and he helped remove some of the bodies from other ships and he told me about the Arizona. Very sobering.
My great grandfather served on the Arizona, but was in the hospital with with flu or fever during the attack at Pearl. I saw his boarding ticket once, before it disappeared when my aunt took it after my grandmother died.
I spent some years growing up on Kauai. One trip I remember vividly was an 8th grade band trio to play on Oahu. While there we visited the Pearl Harbor Museum and the USS Arizona Memorial. As the boat pulled up to the memorial and we disembarked, I remember the feeling in the air; it’s hard to put into words exactly what it was, maybe a feeling of sacrifice or death, but also one of triumph. I was surprised how this silence fell over all my classmates (had to be about 50 or more of us that made it over on that boat). Everyone went from being immature and silly to respectful of where we were when we stepped aboard the memorial. It was crazy. Brought tears to my eyes to see the oil slicks rising in the water, with all the names of those who gave all on a wall. Really starts to pull you towards the gravity of what occurred on that day. I was proud to see that what brought us into the war (Pearl Harbor/ USS Arizona) and the battleship where we triumphantly ended it (USS Missouri/Mighty Mo) are parked bow to bow. It’s as if bringing back the head of the snake who killed a family member to say, “don’t worry, we got ‘em Joey”, in their remembrance. May all those who tragically lost their lives on that day rest in eternal peace. All gave some, while some gave all.
Thanks for sharing your experience Sione!
Bravo, Bravo!!!!!

@@JaredOwen Thanks Jared! What an honor to have you reply to my comment! Love all of your content! It’s an awesome day when I open TH-cam and see one of your videos at the top, whilst only a short 30-40 minutes of time up! Keep up the hard work, thouroughly enjoy everything you put out and I know it’s a ton of work, that’s what makes them so enjoyable. Everything is clean and looks like there’s been a ton of time put into it.
You may not know this, but Arizona did have her revenge, her salvaged guns were fitted to Nevada after wearing out her own, Nevada's next mission after fitting Arizona's guns was to bombard the Japanese homeland. It's a shame what happened to Nevada after retirement though
My dad took me to see this in 1977 when he was stationed in Hawaii. Incredibly moving place, even for my 7 year old self. I remember my dad telling me about the attack and of course I had to know why and thus started my lifelong adventure as a student of history. Massive thanks to my dad, you were and still are my greatest hero.
Thanks for sharing
no animation can truly make you understand how huge these ships are. one of my favorite memories in the past 5 years was exploring the inside of a battleship
It is really nice that time was taken to explain this in more detail and with animation. Seeing as there are those of us more visual able to learn.
I got to go to Pearl Harbor last year, which included going to the Arizona Memorial. I can’t describe how it felt being there and seeing everything. It was incredibly quiet, only broken by very quiet whispering. The people who work there are adamant about all visitors showing the highest level of respect.
You do a really good job explaining how you can go visit the Arizona Memorial, where you start, how to get there, etc.
I am long in the tooth and it is not going to happen but I wish I had seen the Memorial.
This man is the definition of quality over quantity.
Thanks Daniel😀
@@JaredOwen So how does a Aircraft Carrier work?
@@Indo-Fury6521I guess you turn it on an drive it
I’ve been lucky enough to visit Pearl Harbor twice. Once when I was 13, and again at 26 years old. Watching this at 33 years old it still keeps me in awe and deep emotion. My grandfather and grandmother used to talk about it like it was yesterday. Hard to imagine such chaos and tragedy in such a beautiful place. Thank you for your great video.
That somber music and the detailed description of the Arizona memorial made me cry
The fact that its still leaking Oil to this day is crazy
full tank?
How is it possible?
Leaking oil? No...
Crying black tears? Yes...
@@globetrotting2632How do you think...
How!? 🤨
Jared casually returning after 2 months with dope commentary is a blessing, the quality over quantity is on point
"casually returning" 😂😂 Thanks Heisenburg
Jared 2 months ago: Ill do a BB and the town around it, how long could that possibly take ^_^
MM
i never thought I'd see him here
go away
This was an awesome presentation!! Back in the late 70’s there a nice man that work at the bowling I went to as a kid, his father was killed on the Arizona. He would tell the story based on what his mom told him. He was right around 1 yrs old, maybe younger when his father died. Not remembering his father hurt him the most. When telling the story his eyes would tear up because he said he was robbed the chance of being with his dad, learning from him and doing father- son stuff. After all those years he still angry at the Japan for taking his dad. I wish kids today take time to actually learn our past, maybe they could learn something . . . History always seems to repeat itself. Thanks again for this, I love history and this was a nice way to honor those who have fallen. GOD Bless the USA, all those who have served, passed and are still serving our Nation!!!!! Thanks
This is the most comprehensive overview of this disaster i have ever heard. Even in school this was glossed over. Thankfully you covered it all
This is probably the best 3D Battleship operation explanation I have ever seen. Great Job!
Thanks! I wanted to go into even more detail but it was hard to find information
You're absolutely right! Have never seen such clearly presented warship detail! A joy to watch!!
No doubt about that.
I think it's very poetic that USS Missouri and USS Arizona, both symbolizing the beginning and the end of the pacific war are right next to each other; and how USS Missouri is facing the USS Arizona as if it's keeping silent vigil over its fallen comrade. Yes, there are tears running down my face.
Thank you for this video, Jared.
Thanks for watching
I think WWII memorials are the most powerful. It was the most deadly conflict in human history, and just reading the numbers isn't enough. Seeing how much space is required just to list the _names_ of people that died in a relatively small battle by casualty count is sobering. There are battles where nearly a million people died. How big would _that_ wall have to be? And how much was lost with so many names? We can never know, that cost is incalculable.
@@magisterrleth3129 i think there were 2 battles in ww2 in which there were close to (actually exceeding) a million deaths - battle of Stalingrad and siege of Leningrad.
Yes, the AZ and MO were both highly symbolic of the birth and end of the war between the US and Japan. I'm not sure if it was either MacArthur or Truman, that this symbolism was centered, but I'm glad General MacArthur was rather courteous with them as opposed to dictatorial or overbearing with them, as the Soviets would have been had he permitted them to form a Soviet sphere as did Eisenhower.
@@magisterrleth3129it would only have been so had we not used the bomb. Stalin, as only typical of him, would have declared.
Ah, splendid tribute, dear Jared! As Baron Whiskerwald of the esteemed History Whiskers, I must tip my whiskers to your fine craftsmanship. You've woven a tapestry of remembrance that captures both the heart and the heroism of Pearl Harbor. To those gallant souls, we twirl our mustaches and tip our top hats in honor. Let us remember with pride, and may our spirits be as resilient as the tales of yore! The finest of works.
Thank you Jared!!! I was born on December 7, in 1959, but for as long as I can remember, I've always had a very special and revered place in my heart for what happened that day and with the accompanying history. I hope someday to be able to go there, but I know my heart will be touched so much, any words I try to speak will only come out as tears.
Thank you so much, Jared. I'm a retired Marine whose mother is Hawaiian and was a little girl living in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked Dec 7th. I had my retirement flag flown over the Arizona out of respect for her and those lives lost. She went on to serve in the Army along with my Dad.
My grandfather served aboard the USS Tennessee at Pearl Harbor, the ship anchored just in front of the Arizona. He said that he arrived at his battle station just as the Arizona was hit and that when she exploded, for just a brief moment, her keel came so far out of the water that he could see the bottom of her hull before she slammed back down. God bless and God rest all the brave men who died in the sinking, and to all those who fought for our country in World War 2.
Edit: Grammar correction.
My great uncle, 37 yr. old Chief Ed Gaudet, was also on the USS Tennessee & was at 7 a.m. Mass on
Ford Island, when the attack happened! (Read my statement above) (R) Maybe they knew each other?
p.s. My 20 year old uncle, Army Pvt. Kenneth Cooke, was also at Hickam Field, that day!
God bless all people fighting in the great wars - it is not the people who wanted the war.
There is that famous film of the Arizona's explosion. It has been enhanced, and the ship raising out of the water can, indeed, be seen. It is a horrible sight to see. In just that moment, over 1,000 men perished.
Apparently the Japanese message of intent was not recieved at the proper time by the American war office. Otherwise alot of lives may have been saved. The 'sleeping giant' was truly awoken....

My dad and uncles fought in the NAVY in the Pacific Theater. Finally went Oahu a few years ago. Found my uncle's graves in the punchbowl and visited the Arizona. I never got to meet them, but I cried for them. Thank God for them!
I have been wanting to visit the USS Arizona and her memorial since I was a child. I'm 37 now and might not ever be able to. This was an excellent video and very well done. Many thanks. Many of my families older generations have served in wartime. Grandpa's served in WWII but not with the Navy. God Bless EVERYONE who served and sacrificed.
My wife and I visited Pearl Harbor and the Arizona several years ago. There’s no words that can explain how sacred a place it truly is.
We were there 4 years ago as well, very solemn and powerful place. Everyone should experience this, and like you mentioned, there are no words.
Рекомендую вам побывать в России на Мамаевом кургане
Thanks for posting. Fun fact: there's a scale outline of the USS Arizona at the University of Arizona just east of the Old Main building.
Oh neat! That would be fun to see
I had the privilege of visiting the memorial in the 90's. Emotional, contemplative a truly sublime experience. Also the tradition of "manning the rails" as modern day warships coming into Pearl assemble all crew on the decks to acknowledge the memorial as their respective ships pass by.
This video was unexpectedly emotional. I needed a moment to collect myself. The part about the black tears got to me. Great job.
Thanks Jared!
You did a fantastic job on this animation!
I first visited the memorial on my 12th wedding anniversary.
1992. My wife had purchased a Lei of flowers for me for our anniversary dinner.
I could not leave the island with the Lei because of agriculture regs.
I decided to drop it into the water while visiting the memorial.
A tribute to the sacrifice of these Navy men who gave their all. Rest in peace!
Quality content. I've not found another animator like you on youtube, Jared. I never miss your videos.
Thank you Toukirah! I appreciate the compliments
I can only think of a handful, none are better in my opinion, at most equal.
@@SaiTaX_the_Chile_boiCould you share some of those channels? Thanks
I wish I could do what he does with animations
Thumbs up for you @JaredOwen
Lesics is another good animator, he focus more on engineering (his Pantograph videos are my favorite!)
Simply amazing work Jared. Words cannot express how wonderful the job you have done.
Last survivor of the Arizona died today. RIP
We were at the memorial a few years back when one of the survivor's ashes were being brought down to be laid to rest with his brothers. What a crazy coincidence that we were there that day and got to witness the ceremony before he was brought down. Not a dry eye in the house - holy cow was it moving.
I work at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum on Ford Island and I gotta say this impressed me. You got pretty much every detail about the ship, the attack, and Pearl Harbor today correct. Bravo
Fun Fact. ADM Boorda and MA3 Osvald on December 7, 1995 at the Air Tower created USSF, United States of America Space Force. For if aliens do come the first place they will attack is Pearl Harbor, HI. Fords Island is better known as BOORDA USSF ISLAND! Thanks to Trump MA3 Osvald is now a 5 Star Grand Admiral and The Admiral of the Universe. Emergency Rapid Response Team is BOORDA’S TEAM parent of USSF!
Liar. Unlike you, I ACTUALLY work at that place. Stop lying to the children. He got pretty much EVERYTHING WRONG. Read more, fool.
except the attack didn't happen at the start of ww2
@@rjjames9336The attack started World War 2.
@@robinblackmoor8732 no it didn't WW2 started when Germany invaded Poland and the allies declared war on Germany in September 1939. It was a world war long before the US got involved. There was already a war going on in the Pacific and Europe.
Great video and as mentioned in other comments appreciate you incorporating the Arizona's History from its beginning, a much different telling than other videos I've watched about the Arizona and its demise in Hawaii. I've been at the Arizona memorial at least 15 times over the years as my Uncle and Mother in-law both worked at Pearl Harbor. It was always a surreal visit when I went and stared over the edge of the memorial into the waters and imagined what happened that day.
Thanks for such a great descriptive, of the USS Arizona! My great uncle, Edward Gaudet, was a Navy Chief, on the
USS Tennessee (the ship in front of the Arizona, on Dec. 7th,1941. He & eight Chiefs from the Arizona, were finishing
7 a.m. Mass on Ford Island, when the attack started at 7:55 a.m. (possibly saving their lives!) When they got back to
their ships, the Tennessee was on fire & the Arizona in ruins! Gaudet was later commissioned & retired after 30 years!
My ex was on the Missouri during the 80’s. I had access to the ship and walked all around it. The inside of those gun turrets is unbelievable. Pearl Harbor is the most appropriate place for it to retire. RIP Arizona. ❤. Great Vid Jared!!!
I recently visited the Missouri and although it was not at the center of focus of the Pearl Harbor attack it was a survivor none the less.
Edit: it wasn't the Missouri I was on it was different ship sorry.
Plus, the Missouri sure kicked those aliens' butts in the movie 'Battleship'!
Oh my god I've been waiting for this when you announced it. Awesome animation as always. You really learn a lot when an animation is included.
Thanks - I'm glad you learned a lot!
Jared, this is one of the most clearly informative, educational videos on the Arizona and Missouri that I have ever seen! Your animations are excellent and very explanatory in detailing the ships and their internal workings! You even explained a few things about the Memorial that I had little, if any, previous knowledge of! To sum it all up, yours is one of the BEST tributes to U.S.S. Arizona on TH-cam! I am one of your subscribers because of the quality of your animations and accompanying textbook information! Keep up your incredible work! My wife's distant cousin, Paul E. Shiley was one of Arizona's casualties during the Pearl Harbor attack. His name is on the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial Wall.
Visited the USS Arizona while in the Navy. Returning from a 6 month Westpac cruise, our final port of call was Oahu before heading back state side San Diego. I love history so I had to visit the memorial to take it all in up close and pay my respects. I didn't expect how emotional it would be. I was fighting back tears seeing the ship knowing fellow sailors are still down there and reading their names on the wall.
I visited the Arizona Memorial in 1975. The names on the wall of those killed struck home to me when I saw one with a name similar to mine. One thing people should know is that the ferry to the memorial is operated without cost to the public. It is the only vessel allowed to dock at the memorial. You might see promotions for harbor tours that claim to visit the memorial but they are not allowed to dock there. Also, it has been estimated that the Arizona will continue to leak a gallon (4 litres) of oil a day for the next 500 years.
Thank you for that info.
His animations are both educational and mesmerizing, making learning a joy.
The absolute best
Thank you for making this great video. I had four uncles who served in the USN during the war. Two saw combat and one was badly wounded and his injuries greatly affected the rest of his life, and most likely led to his early death at age 65.
This is some of the best animation I've ever seen. One of the sailors still onboard is Alan Brooner, a 19 yr. old from the small town in Indiana both my parents are from, and grew up at the same time with.
I've visited the memorial and it's breathtaking. Rest in peace to all who lost their lives that morning.
I wonder when the leaking oil will run out.
The ship had been fully refueled just a couple of days before after returning to port following an exercise at sea. While much of that fuel had escaped when the forward 14" powder magazine exploded about 30 or so percent remained once the fires were allowed to burn themselves out. The Navy in the 1970s estimated that there was still sufficient fuel oil remaining in the tanks in the double bottom to feed those leaks for more than another century.
@@robertf3479There has been debate on if they should remove the remaining oil due to the amount of damage it's causing to the harbor.
@@justinfowler2857 That debate has been going on about 40 years, since the time I was stationed at Pearl. The desire is there but the technology to remove the oil without disturbing the wreck, causing undue damage still isn't up to where the Navy and National Park Service want it to be.
@@robertf3479 Practicality took a back seat to symbolism? And in the USA, no less?! 😳
Well I don't believe it for a second.
Fantastic video! My Dad was a Marine at Pearl during the attack. He watched the hi-altitude bomb bomb fall and the Arizona explode. Have been to Memorial twice. Everybody should see it.
Jared your modeling is fantastic. The best annalists I have read of what happened to Arizona was in a book I used to have on the ship and is on the NavWeaps web site. The bombs dropped on that morning did not have enough energy to penetrate the Arizona's armored decks completely all the way down to the powder handling rooms. Instead the shell detonated in a paint locker that was above the top armored deck.
When catapults were put on top of the turrets in that refit the only ways to power them were by compressed air or a black powder charge. Running a compressed air line up to the catapult would have involved drilling a hole in the roof thus introducing a weak point in the armor. So the catapults on top of the turrets were powered by black powder. The problem was there was no place to store the black powder below the armor.
So it was stored just above the armor. And right beside the room was a hatch to the deck above. And just outside that hatch was a paint locker. The shell converted into a armor piercing bomb set off the paint locker. Burning paint flowed down to the black powder store setting off that much larger, more powerful explosion and that set off the main powder magazines below.
My great uncle served on the Arizona in the 20's and 30's and was Captain of the USS Boreas which was the first relief ship to sail into the Harbor after the battle. He later was Captain of the USS Arkansas at the Battle of Iwo Jima and was made a admiral. His name was Admiral George McFadden O'Rear.
My great uncle was Captain Franklin VanVaulkenburg ... My Mother's uncle ... My Grandmother's Brother . lol . He went down w that blast while giving commands . ✌🌐
I made a point to visit the USS Arizona Memorial while in Hawaii in 2000. It was indeed a very solemn experience. I could not help but shed tears at the gravity of such loss of these young men's lives. And yes, the "black tears" were indeed visible almost 60 years later. (One can only imagine the amount of oil still trapped within its keel.)
Excellent job, Jared! Thorough, informative...and educational for younger generations that may have difficulty relating to what they deem as "ancient history" and "irrelevant".
"December 7th, 1941...a date that will live in infamy." ---- Franklin D. Roosevelt
There is a large quantity of oil still onboard the wreck of the Arizona. The tanks had been topped off for a trip back to the West Coast for Christmas. A number of years ago I worked for an environmental consulting company that did a lot of work for the Navy and I know that they were exploring the possibility of removing the remaining oil from the ship to prevent a massive oil spill when the rusting century old hull inevitably collapses. To my knowledge the oil has never been removed.
@@trevorn9381 I don't see how they would remove it, maybe they can stick a pipe through where the oil is leaking but even if they can, there would still be oil in the other tanks. It's gonna be a massive headache to remove the oil, maybe the best thing to do is to surround the ship with barriers and then drain the water inside, which is one of the techniques used to build things in a body of water.
It still chokes me up watching and listening to the part of this video describing the Arizona Memorial. My one and only visit in 1974 had me dazed, just being there and staring down into the water at the ship. It is a hallowed place.
Fantastic detail. Thanks for this very informative video, Jared.
I visited the memorial back in 1998 when I was in high school. Something I will always remember. And another fact about the three sets of 7 windows, the guide we had mentioned that these 21 windows serve as a continuous 21 gun salute to all those who died in combat both on the Arizona and at Pearl Harbor.
This is an incredibly high-quality video. The detail is perfectly balanced with respectfulness. Well done, and thank you for helping me better understand such a tragic moment in American History.
I think that’s the best animation I’ve ever seen on a military history video. Just a phenomenal piece of work putting this together
When my family visited the memorial many years ago, a survivor of the attack was present to answer questions. A great guy. My Dad, a WW2 US Navy veteran, was very quiet that day.
For those of you who are wondering, you can actually find a video of the actual USS Arizona blowing up. I heard it was recorded from a nearby medic ship close to Battleship Row.
Yes I’ve seen the video,shocking
One small note: the attack on Pearl Harbor was NOT the beginning of World War II. Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931; Germany invaded Poland in 1939, causing Britain and France to declare war on Germany. That's the event often given as the beginning of WWII. But by December 7, 1941, most of the world had been at war for more than two years. Excellent information on the ship and the modeling and animation.
I personally consider sept. 1939 the start of WWII. But it can be up for argument, even with myself. 1937 maybe?
1937 - The Sino-Japanese war begins, it ends in 1945 with Japan's surrender. China is later part of "the Allies".
1939 - Germany invades Poland, UK & France joins the war as the Allies. This is the accepted start of WWII.
1941 - Japan & Germany drags USA into the wars, which now become connected, only _now_ a real "world war".
He didn't say the war began from the attack on Pearl Harbor, he said it began the direct US involvement. We know that the German invasion of Poland is what began the war officially.
@@brettbrooks5511 The exact opening of the video is "The USS Arizona. This was the famous battleship that was sunk at Pearl Harbor at the beginning of World War II." This is just factually incorrect. Yes, he does say later that the USA did not enter WW2 at the beginning, but why leave an objectively false statement at the beginning of the video?
Very well done and so respectful. Hope our young people are watching. Thank you
I love your animations. They help tell the parts of the story very well. Cheers.
Jared - you are a treasure. I've watched all of your animations, and you have excelled at at least three aspects: 1. The technical animation, 2. The treatment and ordering of the presentation, and 3. The gentle storytelling. I hope you continue doing this work.
Well done. I have one thing to add.
We toured the USS Arizona, the first time, in 1986. The architect of the memorial, Alfred Preis, was on our tour. We were told the twenty-one “windows” in the memorial itself signified a silent “twenty-one gun salute,” not the date of the attack.
Jared - thank you very much for this very special video. I am a Navy Veteran and have been to the Arizona many times. You offered information I had not known before. Thank you again for the respect shown to this Sacred Monument of our Naval History. Very, very much appreciated.
Fond memory - 1969 I was a 5th grader singing with the Phoenix Boys Choir on our first big tour out of state. We got to sing "This Is My Country" as we sailed past Arizona. Great job on the video.
To david: WOW - Now THAT was what I call a FIELDTRIP. How perfect was that to see the very beginning of WWII. I'm sure that NO ONE will EVER forget that Special Trip. Never did get to see the Memorial until I joined the Military (AFTER my kids were grown) and I joined the Air Force. Was able to catch a hop over to Hickam. Thank You for sharing your post.
Thank you, Jared. I was in the Army and stationed on Oahu 1983-1987, and moved back to the mainland in 1990. I cannot say how many times I visited the USS Arizona Memorial during that time. At 2-3 times a month and more. I was present for several anniversaries (1984, - 1989), and had the opportunity to speak to several of the Arizona survivors as well as to several Japanese pilots who actually participated in the attack. It was quite sobering to see former enemies embracing as friends during those anniversaries. One of my friends at that time would visit the Memorial with me and we would stand and read the names of the dead, of which one was his grandfather. BLANKENSHIP, Theron Andrew. We would often stand in silence for minutes as we read those names. Thank you.
My family and I visited this memorial back in 2021. Although it was very somber and moving experience, the most remarkable thing that struck me was as everyone moved into the large gathering area on the memorial, you could hear a pin drop! Everyone from babies to adults were simply silent. It was a bit eerie, but I think it was just such a moving place that everyone knew of its importance. If you have the chance, you should visit it.
I agree, when I visited I had the same experience. Everyone was solemn and respectful, and there were people of all nationalities, men, women, children all were quiet. I’ve never visited anywhere that has that effect on me. I tell everyone to visit because it will stay with you your entire life.

I have. I've been to two shrines that, while they are nowhere near as large as the USS Arizona, they are just as sacred to the memories of the men who died there. At Goliad, Texas, near the Presidio La Bahia, is a mass grave containing the remains of more than four hundred Texian prisoners of war who had been captured by the Mexican Army during the Texas War of Independence. Under orders from the President of Mexico, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the prisoners, with the exception of the sick and wounded, were divided into groups and marched out of the Presidio. The prisoners were murdered by gunfire and stabbing. Their bodies were left where they fell. After the defeat of Santa Anna's forces at San Jacinto, the Texas Army retrieved the remains of the soldiers who had been murdered and buried them in a mass grave. An imposing monument has been built over the grave site.
The other shrine is much more famous but the Texian loss of life was much smaller. In San Antonio, Texas is the Alamo where 180 held off Santa Anna's army for thirteen days before being killed to the last man. The survivors of the Alamo were wives and children of some of the soldiers. The events at Goliad and the Alamo gave rise to the battle cry of "Remember Goliad; Remember the Alamo" that rang out over the ground at San Jacinto when Texas gained our independence from Mexico. Having been to these shrines in Texas, I fully understand the feeling you had at the USS Arizona memorial. One reason I'm quiet at the shrines is because of the awe and respect I have for the honored dead. The other reason is because my throat kinda closes up and I find it difficult to speak even if I wanted to.
Absolutely amazing - I can't imagine the work this took but thank you for your incredible efforts! Just awesome!
I've always had some some questions about the lower decks..... not anymore. Well done Sir. Well done.
An absolutely phenomenal video as always. Well detailed, interesting subject, good quality animation, consistent and engaging narration... Jared deserves far more appreciation than he gets.
Very informative!!!
As a young Marine I was stationed in Kaneohe Bay MCAS in '77-79. Visited the memorial and heard about the design signifying initial defeat and rising to victory. You're the first one I've ever heard who described it as such. However, my memory also tells me the openings, which are 7 apiece on 3 sides are meant as a perpetual 21 gun salute to the fallen. So I heard.... in 1977.
I visited in 2016 with my family, and the tour guide mentioned that salute thing as well. They also said something about the 'Black Tears'. That the ship would cry until the last survivor passed. It's now been 82 years since that day. If there are any survivors left, they would be over 100 years old, but since this video states that it's still crying, perhaps there's more to the tale.
I think there’s one survivor left. The other had passed away in 2023. 🥺
That was a fantastic and extremely informative video. I never knew how this worked in as much detail. I learned a lot. Well-taught.
Great animated video. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to others.
I visited the USS Arizona as a kid in 1989, quite a humbling experience even for a young fella.
LEST WE FORGET. 🇦🇺🇺🇲
I was at the USS Arizona memorial a few weeks ago and it has been on my mind a lot since. Thank you for putting this video together. Very good work.
I came for what happened to the USS Arizona but we also got an extra free animation of how the battleship looks on the inside, we even got a tutorial for the route to the memorial, thats how detailed your animations are. Great work!
Great work on this Sir! I really enjoyed it! Can't imagine the time, research etc. this must have taken. Keep them coming...
I could have visited the Arizona on my way to Riverine duty on the Mekong River so many years ago. I simply could not bring myself to do it. Little did I learn more about grief then I needed to know.
Excellent presentation.
I was just at the USS Arizona last year, it was amazing and eye opening to finally be there, but your video pointed out some things that I definately didn't know about which makes this even more amazing....
super very well told, clear and easy to understand love your animated explanation.
Absolutely stunning! Amazing job! Thanks Jared
Wow Jared. What an awesome informative vid. Your hard and very meticulous work is a tribute to the men who served on the Arizona and all those who were killed in WWII and other wars. Not only did you make your vid with lots of respect, but you also showed what these men did and allowed us to get a glimpse into their service and training. It must’ve been hard work being stationed on a battle ship. I’m sure it wasn’t all hard work though. When they had shore leave, they were stationed in the most beautiful set of islands on the world. How lucky they must have felt. Unfortunately the war came right to them, in their bunks while they slept. I have so much admiration for them and I have so much admiration for you too. You made this video which will show countless people of all ages the cost of what we enjoy every day. We owe it to these men and countless others who made the supreme sacrifice for us, the civilians and their fellow Americans. There are probably so many young people who for them, WWII is such an old timey ancient story in a textbook, blah blah blah, but you brought life to it and in visually stunning detail so they can imagine what it was like and appreciate what those people did for their generation and all future generations. I for one have always respected and appreciated all our veterans and what they did for us and still continue to do for us. I wish more young people realized this. I’m 52, so I remember the WWII vets and Korean War vets and the Vietnam vets (RIP Dad), but younger generations don’t relate as much and therefore don’t appreciate it as much. While watching your video, all I could think about was that ANYONE watching this would be in awe and filled with respect. I know you’ve affected a lot of people young and old. So sorry to ramble, but this was so great. Thank you.
I went to Pearl Harbor about a year ago and I got to explore the USS Missouri, but I never got inside the Arizona memorial. However I did get to see some of the Arizona by looking down from the bow of the Missouri. It was a really cool experience.
I dove that ship it was breath taking. So much emotions . Crazy to see all the stuff from the sailors that is still there and not aloud to be touch of moved.
An excellent and informative video, worthy of praise. I learned much that I did not know.
I went to the memorial twice, in 191 and again in 1999. It was (as a TITANIC and ship historian), an important part of my desire to see when I was in Hawai'i.
U.S. Navy veteran here. Very nicely done. I have been to the ship and its memorial twice, and it is, indeed, sacred.
Jared, this was incredible (as was your "what's inside the Titanic") and I think you might be the first person to ever detail the layout of the ship. Unbelievable job with all the graphics.
I visited the memorial in 2015 at age 53. Having been captivated by the story of the ship since childhood, it was an incredibly moving and emotional experience.
A respectful and accurate description of the ship and what happened to her. Well done! BM2 USN 1977-84.
Great video ,Thanks for taking the time to create it.......
Thank you, Jared, for your dedication to your videos! The images are so clear and your research is excellent.
Hey, thanks for that donation!
I have nothing to do with this channel, other than being a viewer, but I love when people support the things that they enjoy - especially when there's THIS much talent behind the product.
Good job, man. 👍
Jared your presentation was excellent and should be shown as a requirement in all high school classes. It's our history and people need to know the sacrifices that were made for our freedom.
Thank you Stephen! My hope is that a history teacher would find this useful
Very nice video. Thank you for your time and effort in making these videos.
Wow, i really appreciate the structural layout. It makes it easier to understand.
Had the honor to meet the son of a USS Arizona survivor on his father’s birthday. Don Stratton wrote about his life and survival on the ship. He wrote so lovingly about his shipmates who perished. His rescue left me in tears. It is my understanding that Mr. Stratton was the only survivor to,write a book about the attack, Met his son at the WWII national aviation museum near a model of the Arizona and his dad is represented by a little figurine.
Great video, As an😢 Australian ex Navy and Army Veteran its soo sad. In 1976 while serving on HMAS MELBOURNE Australia's old and little Aircraft carrier we went to America. Alot of us went to this humbling war site. Soo, soo sad, we all said a quite pray while standing on the ship's memorial 🙏 R.I.P
Fantastic watch. Thanks for the effort.
Very well done. Thank you ! Great graphics and an important subject.
