    The U.S.S. Ward sank the Japanese midget submarine by hitting it at the base of its conning tower with a 5 inch shell, aimed by sight from a moving platform to a moving target. An excellent shot. For a long time their claims were discounted, yet a few years ago, that midget submarine was found and as clear as day, there was a 5 inch hole exactly where it was reported. There is a documentary about this, and the video clearly shows the hole on the Japanese Sub.

    WW2 submarines are not like modern ones, they had limited torpedos and mainly used their deck guns on smaller ships as it was more accurate on the smaller faster targets. Most Sub attacks at the time actually had it surface only to submerge AFTER the attack as it gave the sub the best angle of attack and its fastest speeds, but gave planes and destroyers time to spot and sink them.

      And in the case of US subs until the later periods of the war, 9 out of 10 of your torpedoes were duds so you had to use older WW1 torpedoes or use your deck gun. The Mk 14 Torpedo was a colossal and fatal failure to US sailors until the Bureau of Ordinance was forced to fix it basically at gun point by very pissed off naval officers.

    First, the "Jewels of the Navy" at that time were the Battleships and other large capital ships. Aircraft Carriers were a relatively new concept, in naval warfare. After the attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. didn't have many choices on what to center the Navy on. So because of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Aircraft Carriers became the most important ships in the U.S. Navy.
    Now the Battle at Midway is important for a number of reasons. The main one in my opinion. Is that the Aircraft Carrier could allow a Navy to strike and destroy. A enemy fleet without ever being able to see the enemy fleet. Before this battle, naval ships had to get into range for their cannons. To fight and destroy the enemy. Now large Capital ships are expensive to make, and take several years to actually build. So navies are not in the habit of risking these ships needlessly, even today.

      The only thing I would ad to your statement would be at that time to sink a sub you could use a torpedo if you caught them on the surface, or line of sight shot as you said. Depth charges were for when the sun was running submerged. The real game changer came with the development of the Hedge Hog anti sub system .

    The attack on the Wheeler airfield was effective, and was made easier due to the concentration of the aircraft in the center of the field for protection from Japanese sabotage. It should be mentioned that the concentration of the aircraft was very effective as not a single aircraft was lost to attack by sabotage.

    Planes could spot subs because when they were looking for targets they would be just below the surface (periscope depth, so around a few meters). Later in the war they had anti sub weapons like depth charges but before that they would just spot and relay locations.

  • @rottytherottski522

    One important thing was that the real prize was the modern and expensive cruisers at the harbor which were tied together even closer than the battleships were. But due to their smaller size many of the Japanese pilots targeted the older battleships instead, which allowed these very deadly ships to escape almost any harm outside of some light damage. Those very cruisers would end up doing some more major damage as the war in the Pacific carried on. But the biggest missed opportunity was not destroying the dry docks which would have been extremely difficult to repair due to you needing to drain out the water and creating a barrier in the harbor so the doors could be worked on. But with those still in tact they had large functional repair facilities right next to these destroyed ships which the US Navy made sure to get full usage out of.

    Great reaction man as for air detection most submarines of ww2 had to be on the surface. They are more submersible boats. So when cruising or recharging batteries they had to be on the surface making planes one of the most dangerous threats as they can drop depth charges, straife them or drop bombs any sort of damage even minor to the hill can prevent the submarine from diving as it risks the Hull breaking apart. Sinking subs can be done by detoh charges, bombs set on a timer so when the fuse activates the bomb sinks and then blows up or sometimes the subs are rammed for being too high up

      That's right. In WW2, most submarines couldn't actually submerge for very long, and had to sit on or very near the surface (periscope depth) to actually do anything useful. Destroyers, often tasked with ASW, could, and often did, fire their guns at submarines. In this event, the Ward killed the Japanese sub with a 4" shell hit to the base of the conning tower, sinking it almost immediately.

    They couldn't just call off the attack because the carriers weren't there. They were thousands of miles away from home on a tight timeline and couldn't just reset.
    The Japanese did an amazing job of sailing their fleet across the ocean without being detected. Just the logistics and sailing of a force that size in secret is very impressive. Their top people were in the military not business and it really made a difference in the first six months of the war.

  • @pyronuke4768

    8:26 depth charges were the primary method. You could in theory use a torpedo, but with early 1940's tech it would be an insanely tricky shot to pull off. More often than not they would depth charge an area they suspected the submarine was hiding hoping to cause enough damage to force it to surface, at which point they would usually take the crew prisoner and sink the sub with demolition charges or shoot it up with their guns.

    The really sad part is that, even though the rumor about FDR knowing and letting it happen is a myth, Pearl Harbor COULD have been prevented. Who was to blame? The incompetent head of arguably the most incompetent US intelligence agency: J Edgar himself, who received information directly from Dusko Popov that the Japanese military observers had, with him present, made note of new shallow water torpedo attack techniques and their use at the Harbor lagoon. Hoover didn't like Popov personally, and so ignored the warning the same way he did when Nazi saboteurs landed on the eastern shores and literally tried to voluntarily defect while FBI agents ignored them right up until they produced thousands they'd been given to use as bribe money as proof.

    It should be noted that, until the battles of early-to-mid 1942, the true capabilities of carriers were yet to be fully realized. At this time there were only three navies (US, UK, & Japan) who operated carriers in any significant numbers, and all three planned them around scouting roles and preemptive strikes with battleships being the main cornerstone for naval engagements. At the time, The Japanese probably had the best understanding of the effectiveness of massed carrier strikes, but even they still thought of them as preemptive attackers with the main fleet coming in to deal the death blow. So when the US carriers weren't in port, it was a disappointment for the Japanese but not a deal-breaker as their main target were still the battleships.
    Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.

    Well the narration is not entirely correct. Yes, the Japanese knew the fleet schedule but this is why the attack was planned on December 7th. They knew that the entire Pacific Fleet was scheduled for a fleet wide exercise on the 8th so they took a chance that the carriers would be there. The Enterprise was suppose to be in the harbor on the 6th but was delayed by a storm. The other two were also late to the point they were expected to miss the exercise. Saratoga was also suppose to be in harbor but was still in dry dock because of machinery problems that were suppose to be fixed but cropped up as they were preparing to leave San Diego.

    At the time before the attack. They thought the battleship was the king and the carrier was a support vessel. As the high command was raised on this belief. As carriers were the experimental weapon, that turned into a wonder weapon.
    At the time, the USA had no choice, change their outlook or pull out. Sure the battleship was rebuilt, but by the time the true strength of the carrier was revealed.

    They could only find a submarine with aircraft radar, if she was surfaced. Since many of our recon aircraft, and ship launched spotter planes, carried 325lb(145kg) depth charges, and the UK carried a 250lb(115Kg) air dropped versions. They could also carry 30lb, 50lb or 100lb contact bombs.
    Destroyers used their main guns on surfaced subs, 600lb roll off, or 300lb KGun launched depth charges on submerged subs. Also the US and UK used the 24rd Hedgehog Mortar, the 4rd Mousetrap Version, or the heavy, 6rd Squid Mortar(UK).

    They had submarine hunting planes in WW2. They were kind of useless at night though because the way the they hunted and found subs Was by flying at a low altitude in areas not to far from the shores, locations that were well lit, and had calm wind, weather, and waves that way it wouldn't be too difficult to spot disturbances in the water. There would be a spotter on board using binoculars to scan the ocean top for things like shadows, air bubbles, sudden unnatural current changes from the Sub Making A turn, and if they couldn't find anything they would drop occasional depth charges to make any submarine underneath believe that they've been spotted which they would then take evasive actions giving away their location to the plane above That just tricked them. They originally operating strictly with naval ship Patrol groups and and let the naval ships do the majority of the hard lifting when it came to tracking down the Subs, but as the war went on too many ships and planes were getting sunk Faster then they were getting built which caused them to have to cover more territory and spread out in 2 ship our 2 plane hunting groups. They would use frequent radio contact though in order top maintain a close enough proximity to other 2 unit groups so that when a U boat was eventually spotted, all 2 unit groups who were in range would Quickly converge on that location they were spotted, where they would once again work as 1 big strike group to hunt and destroy the enemy. What time do they seen the most action though was when they would get word that supply ship caravans have successfully made the trip across the Atlantic and are about to make the Final Approach to the island. That's when all of the British ships and submarine hunting aircraft that were in range would rush to meet up with the Convoy to escort at the rest of the way in. A lot of the times that was the most dangerous portion of the trip because if German spice or u-bolts every spot the large Convoy or get word of it instead of confronted in open-ocean with overwhelming numbers against them, so they would instead gather their own allies and lay in wait somewhere along the end route since they usually knew where the ships would be docking at.

    Speaking of Carriers, you already to Nimitz Class Carriers. Nimitz was named after Admiral Chester Nimitz who was commander of Pacific Fleet during WWII. Now, these carriers are getting older. New class of carriers are called Gerald R Ford Carriers named after former President Gerald R Ford who served in the Navy. 1st of this class is of course, USS Gerald R Ford aka The Ford. Reason for this information is that during the attack by Japanese that there was an African American man named Doris Miller who was serving on his ship as a cook. He goes by Dorie. During the attack, his captain was mortally wounded as Dorie tried to render aid to him. But captain died. As Japanese planes were attacking, Dorie manned one of anti- aircraft machine guns to shoot down some of the planes. Dorie was killed during the attack. His name will added as new name for a carrier when carrier will be launched in 2032. This carrier will be 1st non-President name. Usually, carriers are named for Presidents except for few occasions in the past. But new carrier will be named after 1st African American .

    The Japanese had a run of successes following Pearl Harbor--the Philippines, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, Burma, Part of New Guinea--all the various South Pacific islands--it was a devastating show of military strength. All the more remarkable that a few months after Pearl Harbor the US was able to launch bombing raids on Japan itself, and the US won decisive naval victories at Coral Sea and Midway, which the IJN was never really able to overcome.

    Also japanese midget subs had no oxygen on board and small batteries for its electric underwater motor so they had to go up often for the crew to breathe and when they came up the destroyer used its gun on it, and the midget sub isnt meant to dive deep so it was made of pretty thin unarmored metal

    There’s a movie called Pearl Harbor from 2001 which has the attack with great amount of detail and pretty graphic as well. I had a great uncle who served in Navy and was stationed in Pearl on the day of the attack in of which he survived. After the attack he switched service from the Navy to the Marines and have fought in every battle according to his service records.
    P.S. I know Pearl Harbor sucks for the most part.

    It is not correct that the Japanese knew the carriers weren't at pearl harbor. The Japanese talk force left Japan on 26 November. The Enterprise left pearl on 28 November and Lexington left on 5 December. There wasn't enough time for that information to get from Hawaii to Japan then to the Japanese talk force.
    The early morning scouting by Japanese scout planes probably noticed their absence, but by then the attack was on.

    Another great reaction, Artur! In WW2, the submarines were really boats that could submerge. When they submerged they operated on battery power, and batteries back then were nothing like they are now. The huge battery packs they had on the subs would last a couple hours at most. So, the subs actually operated above the water most of the time, submerging only when needed (to attack, or evade an attack, for instance). This made them pretty easy to see from an airplane.

    • @darth-hellhound6534
      @darth-hellhound6534 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A couple hours?? A U-boat could remain submerged for 2 of 3 days at 5 knots before needing to recharge the batteries, but it was common to run submerged during the day and run the diesels to recharge at night.

      @@darth-hellhound6534 My comment was based on what little I'd learned about subs of WW2, then I read your comm3nt, and I decided to learn more. Based on what I've since read, and heard from the crews and officers of those u-boats (U-boots?), I think your thinking about the type XXI u-boat. The type VII was the most common u-boat, followed by the type IX, and those were only able to stay submerged for a couple hours if they used the batteries minimally. The type XXI, that came out at the end of the war, was able to stay submerged and run on batteries for 2-3 days, then only needed to go up to snorkel depth to raise the snorkel and recharge the batteries with the diesel engine. Only 4 of these were completed to combat readiness by the end of the war, and only 2 were actually sent on patrol.

    @6:23 you're overthinking it from a (the) tactical perspective of early 1940s: subs rarely went far below the waterline & would therefore be visible by overhead observation. This was a major element of counter-surveil operations for gas & diesel subs.
    Ok. Be careful from where one gets his info from. For example, this video's "intel" notwithstanding, there is mil intel based on written Japanese intel the US carriers were at port. It is presumed this is why the attack started; even if the intel was wrong - or the post-attack AAR was wrong - it's obvious the attack occurred, and so if the Japanese attack was "meant for" THAT and "based on" THIS, then anything For or Against is of the attacking Nation-State's volition.
    @7:58 "we know it from history", why did they not attack with more (I'm paraphrasing your Q). I rather think this a simple matter of "are we sending enough to sink 3 carriers?", then the answer is a resounding YES so far as capacity goes. In other words, 10 carriers of Japanese attack capability - had such a thing existed lol - would have sealed the deal... if only the USA carriers had been where they were reported to be 18 hrs before the attack itself commenced. Said another way, 3 attacking carriers, 6 attacking, 10 attacking.... the attackers were looking for the defending air force (naval or otherwise) from a sea-borne platform... that wasn't around. I wonder how the damage may have been greater than it was in actuality.
    As a Patreon, I encourage you to find a more-accurate channel. Just basing this on the OP video itself; cause: lack of accuracy.
