Those Cobi Kits are neat. I have always built models when I was a kid I had an entire fleet and air force. I built a 1/200 scale model of USS New Jersey back when I was 15. The last model I built was the USS San Francisco CA-38
I love the fact that we have Iowa's all 4 in 1, but now I have to buy 4 more, but the main reason is that you have to have the dynamic duo of the Pacfict together, the Black Dragon & Gray Ghost, Same for the Atlantic, you cannot have KMS Bismarck with not KMS Prinz Eugen,
I got a USS NJ Cobi kit over Christmas. Modified it with existing bricks to be in 80s config. I used the live battleship cams of NJ to help me figure out how and where to modify the kit to look like the NJ. Keep up the great videos.
Ryan, my man, I've watched countless hours of your videos and I so appreciate your contribution to the preservation of the history of the US Navy. That being said, I'm disheartened by your professed love of the A-10. I do love your naval history videos which are totally agreeable, and I understand your propensity for large guns. The A-10 however would be similar to a ship which was built for a conflict which never took place, for which it's weaponry was already outdated and which was unable to operate close to ground forces or in adverse conditions. I'm unaware of a naval equivalent.
I understand that they hung spares from the overhead above the hangerdeck if there was vertical spacing. Also, they had to keep them secure so that they didn't swing or sway and hit anything. I don't know when that practice started.
The carrier can also sail towards the enemy when the air strike is launched to shorten the return leg for their aircraft, while turning to sail away after they are recovered and are rearming.
Fun video. I built Revel and Monogram models back in the late 70s and 80s. Built both New Jersey and Missouri, Kitty Hawk, Nimitz, Bismach, Tirpitz, and I19, among my ships, and tons of airplanes, including, a zero, wild cat, avenger, devastated, dauntless, corsair, and hell diver.
The only Cobi ship I've built is USS Wahoo. I'd love to build more (particularly some battleships), but I need to figure out where I'm going to put them first. Space is somewhat limited for me at the moment.
I'm of the build what you like school. I have time for classic kits, my last completion was RMS (or HMT) Olympic in her second dazzle pattern camouflage.
When I was a kid I built quite a few models of German and Japanese warships. I know I had Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Bismarck, Tirpitz and Prince Eugen and a bunch of Japanese Cruisers and a few destroyers. All were plastic models that were fully painted and yes I used decals (not stickers). When I was about 15 I got interested in Japanese destroyers big time and started scratch building them. I used to spend up to 100 hours on a warship. I quit building models when I was 18 because I started playing with real ships. After I retired I started building models from scratch again. I have a lathe, small milling machine a silver soldering setup and a TIG welder to fabricate small parts from various metals. Bronze props are quite time consuming to build. I also cast bronze and lead parts. My most recent warship model was a Flower Class Corvette that I actually plated. That took a LONG time both to build and to research the ship to find out details like the plating plan. I didn't rivet the plates, just glued them in place. Note that my post retirement models were built on a custom order basis as a small business I started. The Flower was built for a Canadian who gave it to his dad who served on the specific ship I built. I painted it to the dazzle camo configuration in use when he joined the ship. Here in Maine there is a company that makes great ship models. It is called Bluejacket Ship Crafters. They make very detailed kits of Liberty ships, Victory ships T2 Tankers and a number of destroyers. Their models are pricey, but they are incredibly detailed and you could spend hundreds of hours on some of their models.
That is awesome information! I’ve built some ship models. Some as in 21 ships. And they’re all my own creations. They’re made out of authentic Lego pieces. My biggest one is battleship Iowa in her 1944 configuration that’s over 7 feet long!
Im a kid from the 60s and 70s. My little brother and i made WW2 airplane kits. Stumbling out of the room from the glue fumes, LOL. Then we would have dog fights in the back yard and light the plastic tails on fire so when we crashed them into the dirt they left a smoke trail and were done for. lol Of courses as boys we made all the sounds of turning and machine gun fire. Im smileing right now thinking of how much fun it was. We were out side, running with our chosen plane, chasing each other. As an old man i can say THOSE WERE THE DAYS ! :)
I allways thought the advantages of the carriers was easier to change out the planes to fit the mission, and easer to update to newer technologies as the main thing at the time is uploading the planes rather than the ship
Ryan pretty much got it exactly right. In almost every metric a battleship is superior to an aircraft carrier, except for range. It was the aircraft carriers advantage of being able to attack everything much further away which is why it rose to dominance over the battleship. Even if you could blanket a Battleship with enough AA and armor to make it effectively immune to air attack, the aircraft carrier still would have won out.
Ryan, thanks for sharing this comparison. I haven't built any of the Cobi Ships, but I have built models of the USS The Sullivans and USS Indianapolis. For the Sullivans, I made modifications to the kits mast to more accurately represent it's 1944 refit configuration. For the Indianapolis, I used CAD software and a 3D printer to help scratch build the sea plane hanger. Links to my builds here: th-cam.com/video/POsQw2SJ4Dw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ylrZJojNfr8/w-d-xo.html I do eventually plan on building a model of New Jersey, I purchased a portion of New Jersey's deck specifically to use as the base for the ship once its done. -Brett
At about 9:05 in the video has the aircraft is landing, there is a wake behind the ship that looks like it is caused by something being towed. Does anybody have any idea what this is?
Yeah, just like happened in WWII, the battle ship gets its ass kicked without ever getting remotely close to being able to drop 16" shells on the carrier. Since the speeds are the same the carrier can sit out of range forever while still being able to send in fighters. Not at *ALL* a fair fight. But then neither is a battle ship firing on ground troops while it sits offshore. Always play to your strengths and unfortunately the battleships are no longer the queens of the sea.
Those are huge ships.I would like to see a much smaller scale size for those of us that don't have a lot of room for the bigger size.They are greatly detailed models.
I recently received a Metal Earth USS Missouri model. I haven't gotten it out to build it yet, but i have looked at pictures of it. It seems to be encompassing most of the features on the ship across its various commissionings. For instance it has both the disco cage antenna AND all of the 40 mm gun tubs. Im unsure wich configuration to go woth when i build it
You should have also talked about the British carriers which were a lot tougher with armored deck, and the new aircraft carrier design, the Midway, was armored. Seems like the US decided it has been mistaken in not armoring its carriers. Wonder how many American carriers would have survived if they had been armored.
SBD 3 would be used for CAP and ASW using MK1 eye balls over the Task Forces as well as Attack Missions. 250 miles was at the upper end of a Strike Mission
@Collin Wood haaa! I'm tired of other countries treating us like punks. These old battleships were the projection of power that made us feared. Now look at us?
Modern day replacement for an Iowa class is a Tico. You can only have a few close escorts for an aircraft carrier so you want those happy few to have enough stopping power to keep the big deck safe.
Yes, the slow-moving Devastator was obsolete as a topedo bomber and easy prey for enemy AA defenses. However, the British torpedo bomber Swordfish aka Stringbag was even more old-fashioned and slower. A canvas, plywood, and wire plane that flak shells could easily fly through without doing much damage, and that flew too slowly and too low for the most advanced fire control systems of the time, have sometimes advantages. I wonder how the Swordfish would have held up at the Battle of Midway.
@@rohanthandi4903I agree, If the Swordfish was used in the same way as the Devastator. But used with a different tactic they might have been usefull against battleships or criusers.
@@martinmarheinecke7677 it’s not getting through a Japanese fighter screen in 1942. Against unprotected ships maybe. Look up what happened to the deployed swordfish during the channel dash they had a 100% loss rate
By the end of the war the only mission that a Corsair could not do that dedicated strike aircraft could was drop torpedoes and once the Yamato was sunk you didn't need torpedo bombers. The Navy also found out that you could drop torpedoes at highers speeds and higher altitudes. Torpedo bomber losses were drastically reduced.
I just hope one day when they release a new version of Enterprise they release a 3in1 version like with the Iowa class. Because I would prefer Hornet over Enterprise
Yes, somehow .... but not distantly true to the original. Did you play with Lego in the bath as a kid? Cobi models behave similarly in water. The Cobi ships are clearly not intended as buoyant models.
KMS Scharnhorst & IJN Yamato did take on carriers, The German ship did sink the HMS Glorious a light carrier While the Japanese rendered the USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73), a Casablanca-class escort carrier, importable after it was dry docked from damage,
My first ship model was the U.S.S Missouri. Eventually i did as many young men would do and try to blow it up. Didn't account for fire and plastic not conducive for flotation and, well it basically didn't go as planned. Lol...
I'm not exactly agree with statement that Carrier Group could sustain projection for a longer period of time - Battle of Cape Engano shows that on final actions of the battle pilots were to exhausted to hit and sink Ozawa's BB'S
If you were a Japanese pilot during WW2 and you didn't have enough bombs,bullets, or torpedoes you just kamikaze the ship. My favorite WW2 movies are Tora Tora Tora or The Battle of Midway.
this is a commercial for the model maker. power projection? combat range of a bomber squadron versus that of the Iowa class? not even discussing that. there is a reason why the brits lost battleships to aircraft and the Japanese lost battleships to aircraft.
Barring stupidity carriers only have aircraft or subs to fear and after the first 6 months non-suicidal aircraft were not a threat. The same for battleships once carriers could be added to their shield. On either magazine and torpedo defense is where most of the weight should go, shedding armor weight other places probably would not affect the defense much.
Battleships are like Mike Tyson entering the ring. Aircraft Carriers are more like Mike Tyson Tweeting a threat. Only from an appearance in the harbor point of view
Stock footage of incorrect aircraft pertinent to the discussion. Would “stock footage “ of F4 Phantoms be appropriate? Or British Lancaster “stock footage “? Hey! It’s stock footage from WW2! Who the fuck cares if it has anything to do with the discussion. How about “stock footage “ of WW2 tanks ? All you need to know is that it’s WORLD WAR TWO.
What if it was Ryan? NOOOOO! Wouldn't be the same without him. The Battleship is just keeling over after the Carrier planes hit it or they are going for the longer arc of fire thing. Lol.
Ryan is slowly turning this channel from naval history to Lego reviews.
Cobi is better then Lego.
Por que no los dos?
Careful, Lego Juris A/S has shown in the past they aren't afraid of legal action when you call non Lego bricks Lego
Agree....no complaints from me.

Additionally its far cheaper to change the aircraft on a carrier as opposed to the armament on a battleship
You also lose range while loitering, waiting for the rest of the squad to take off and form up.
