A sad story about the last and final patrol of Greyling. She had rescued Msgt Roy Wilson from an island (Panay). He had evaded capture from the Japanese for over a year, our loss of the Philippines. Sadly, he was lost with all hands when Greyling was sunk.
I have much respect for the people who can serve on submarines. I spent 22 years in the USMC and would rather crawl through mud with bullets whizzing overhead than be inside a sub. I'm majorly claustrophobic.
OMG, those guys are babies! HATE war. Thank you for defending one of the greatest nation, the United States. And allies. Thank God for the PTSD diagnosis. Back then they just dealt with the horrors of war with alcohol like my cousin. When he returned he was never the same. Turned to alcohol, lost his wife and child. His father was an alcoholic so he was predisposed. He fought in Vietnam. His brother found him deceased. Did I say I HATE war?
the Grayling's final patrol site was discovered a couple years ago, apparently contacted an underwater mine.Japanese reports were consulted even early on, but there had been confusion on the translation that put the location hundreds of miles away from the actual site.

What dialect is the Rear Admiral speaking? Is this some genuine non-rhotic New England dialect or is this a mid-atlantic accent? You almost never hear an American speak this crisply nowadays.

Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, so that they can identify the material they need to license, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do. Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films!

Oh damn! There’s Mr. Drysdale, the Beverly Hills banker!
OMG, those guys are babies! HATE war. Thank you for defending one of the greatest nation, the United States. And allies. Thank God for the PTSD diagnosis. Back then they just dealt with the horrors of war with alcohol like my cousin. When he returned he was never the same.
Turned to alcohol, lost his wife and child. His father was an alcoholic so he was predisposed. He fought in Vietnam. His brother found him deceased. Did I say I HATE war?
Yeah, but the burning question remains, who won the checkers match?
IMPORTANT SUB TIP, Don't dive with the captain outside! (unless you don't like him)
At 3:36 it's Raymond Bailey-Mr. Drysdale- without his toupee. He always wore a rug on the Beverly Hillbillies.
This is a GREAT video, but I would NOT want to serve on a sub! Nope! 🧐
Admiral Christie was played by Raymond Bailey, aka Mr Drysdale on the Beverly Hillbillies.
Mr. Drysdale is in this one! Hot digitty dog!
Do you have any films you can post from the Northern Rhodesia information department
OMG, wow, I have never seen a sub come out of the water like a whale.

You have to wonder what happened to them

It was found a couple of years ago, it was accidentally struck by an enemy Ship?
Probably a daft question..... but how do the deck guns survive the saline environment without rusting?
Well waterproof greased. Regular maintenance at sea, on the surface.
Naval magic
I'm thinking, sacrificial anodes. They very rarely used the deck gun. Used at the beginning of the war to conserve torpedos
Jerks leave the Captain on the outside of the sub! 😢
As someone pointed out, who won the checkers game??
What dialect is the Rear Admiral speaking? Is this some genuine non-rhotic New England dialect or is this a mid-atlantic accent?
You almost never hear an American speak this crisply nowadays.
Thank God I Don’t Sound Like That.

Season 2 Episode 7 "The Ugly Duckling" is a missing episode, I think.

It's somewhat misleading.

1:29 It's a wonder the captain can still talk like he chews gum!
Thanks for the clock you added . Ill be sure to not watch any further
