    Fun fact…NETFLIX’ ANTARCTICA tells the story of SOYA became Japan's first Antarctic research vessel which brought the Sakhalin Huskies Sled dogs Taro and Jiro… although filmed in 2011, truly amazing, definitely worth watching!

    That was a very cool video, Mel and I really like old historic places or objects. gets me thinking of them when they were first built and the first people that got to use them. I couldn't imagine being in such a cramped environment, being well over 6 feet tall id have to wear protective gear all the time.

    • @CoryMay81
      @CoryMay81  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah! Same. I try to imagine what it was like to actually be on the ship when it was in operation. Lots of history on that shit. I'm 6 feet so I feel ya. We wouldn't survive in those bunk beds. hahaha

    Google says radar was used on alot of ships in 1942.
    The living quarters sure were kinda small.
    Neat to see this,Thanks Cory.

      Ohhh I'm so sorry. Yeah I figure many people still haven't realizes I did a live stream and uploaded a video yet. YT notifications have been broken since 2014. Such a shame. Please be safe and stay tuned for the next video!

      @CoryMay81  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's cool. I've been on one submarine only, but it wasn't in the water. It was on land as a museum feature at Pearl Harbor. I also like watching documentaries about life on board submarines. Thanks for watching!

      Yeah, that's the retired U.S.S. Midway CV-41 that my dad was stationed on for 4 years. It's homeport used to be Yokosuka, Japan back in the 80's.

    Small world Cory,... I was aboard the LHA3 US Bellauewood too (sorry about the misspelling, never could get it right). Got my Sea Service Deployment Ribbon & saw the last performance of the Thanksgiving Special with none other than Bob Hope! Yeah, I'm dating myself. Late 80's, also went to Korea for the Olympics. It was a magical time before computers. Ha ha.

      Super cool! My high school graduation was on the flight deck of the Belleau Wood in 1999.
      I remember Bob Hope doing USO tours though I never got to see him. Thanks for watching and commenting!

      @CoryMay81  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was used in the Imperial Navy's minesweeper fleet. It also survived a torpedo attack. One of the two torpedos was caught and they brought it on board to celebrate that they didn't blow up. hehehe so crazy
