In this episode of Drain the Oceans, "Mystery of the China Seas" exposes the remains of the biggest battleship ever put on the water and the extraordinary truth behind a 700-year-old mystery.
National Geographic didn't take the same route that History Channel did in the early 2010's. They still want to teach you and spread knowledge, whereas History Channel is more focused now on making money and entertaining tv shows over teaching. Don't get me wrong, History Channel still makes good stuff to learn from, but they're nowhere near what they used to be.
The narration, the models, animation, research and informative information in this documentary is amazing. Hats off to the production team, researchers and everyone involved for this !
Only National Geographic could masterfully tell such a captivating story, which begins with a simulated dredging of a Imperial Japanese war ship and ends with how fiber optic cable is laid on the sea floor.
@@Sapper-X Please watch Surigao golds in Butuan and Philippine Golds: Treasures of the lost Kingdoms. It proves how busy is this part of the ocean. I personally don't believe in Magellan spice lies. This explains here. He was already in Malacca/Malaysia and saw the busy trades of our Ancestors and our islands in the Philippines is one of their hubs. We so many sunkin ships around our islands from WW II and the Manila Galeon trade. These golds accidentally found were approximately around 11th/12 centuries back but there's more to uncover way back before that.
Amazing what technology has become. The video part revealing the ocean floor and its treasures is especially awe inspiring. National Geographic is a world treasure.
Great video, have always known there’s more to life than meets the eye, I feel like in this life i am supposed to be doing more than i am doing for the people i love. been seeking for an eye opening enlightenment, a way to be more influential, powerful and protected!
oh well you can achieve that by being a part of the illuminatus brotherhood, i know it sounds like a mystery but there are ways you can actually get in contact with them
@@ddirtdid Well it is not and you can't actually expect it to be open to everyone, but if you want to know more you can look up ANTHONY MARK SZYMON online you will find something interesting.

I miss education television. There's less and less of it. It's almost like there are powers that want to limit the amount of intelligent, educated people in the world.

Delgado is a total dunce, his universally panned book 'USS Arizona' is one of the worst pieces of naval history literature ever produced let alone on such a widely known topic. It is an unmitigated disgrace, littered with factual inaccuracies and outright fabrication. Grove and Stille and brilliant.
One error they made though: Yamato was not named after Yamato-damashii. It was named after the Yamato-province (modern day Nara Prefecture). All Japanese Battleships were named after the old provinces: Yamato, Musashi, Nagato, Mutsu, Hyuga, Ise, etc.
The script writers don't care abourt accuracy but just seek to hype stuff up. Zero decent discussion about the battle or damage inflicted, nor the mechnaisms that led up to the detonation of the two magazines.
This video is amazing, now I know now why the China Sea is so important. Thanks to this video I have a clear view about what's happening now. National Geographic is a great source of information.
I have seen a lot of military equipment off of the Philippines wile wreck diving. The best one was a Japanese Zero pointing straight downward like it was in a nose dive.
The USS Tang was sunk by it's last torpedo in the Taiwan Strait during WWII. Some of her crew survived and a few got out after she sank by using the Momsun Lung and the forward escape hatch. She is in about 250 feet of water, yet no one has ever tried to locate her. Is there a reason China and Taiwan won't allow anyone to survey wrecks in the Strait?
politically US does not recognise UNCLOS, and so does not recognise China's right, asking China for the right to survey would undermine US political position and so it would be better to not ask. beside, no one cares enough about the Tang in Washingston. there are 120 of them build.
Great documentary of draining the ocean beneath the sea that is an awesome Now a days with the new Technology it is a billion idea For us to be able to see all of the ships Rexed.
I always love and trust National Geographic. At least National Geographic reports its finding to the best of its knowledge, not spreading false history or outrageous discoveries. I have followed National Geographic since I was around 17, roughly 1/2 a century ago. I guess this is the fruit of a free press society. But I do believe that many of our news media are immensely influenced by interest groups.
@@willengel2458 not even. What is that even based on 😂? Japan wooped BOTH the bear and the dragon in modern warfare. Japanese are some of the most disciplined people on earth and discipline is the cornerstone of a successful military and it’s campaigns. China is a paper dragon if anything, and the bear, well, the bear has proven its glaring inadequacy’s. They cannot even run combined operations. Sad.
I would say the sheer size of it was an issue in the time of the aircraft carrier. It was an easy target to hit with bombs and torps. 5 years earlier and she would have been a terror of the seas.
you failed to mention the Yamamato was a floating construction project. its top secret status was about keeping the fact it was mostly UN-operarional and never was completed, it was launched as a scare crow. it had big guns, but not even all its big guns were operational
The best therapy that I have is watching you people behind the screen and off believe me yes and no therapy just watching you people behind the screen 😮😂❤
Port Royal is a city located at the end of the Palisadoes at the mouth of the Kingston Harbour, in southeastern Jamaica. Founded in 1518, it was the centre of shipping commerce in the Caribbean Sea during the latter half of the 17th century. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692 and a subsequent tsunami, and fires. Severe hurricanes have regularly damaged it. Another severe earthquake occurred in 1907
With the discovery of her sistership, Musashi by the team of experts funded by the late co-founder of microsoft, Paul G. Allen, it would be interesting to see the ship reconstructed digitally in a reversal of how the ship may have appeared. Have a great Christmas everyone, and a great new year, take care, and all the best.
Musashi is a debris field however as she exploded during descent to the seabed and the blast resulted in virtual complete disintegration . Much less to depict, less visual.
Embark on a captivating journey into the depths of the China Seas with this full episode of 'Drain the Oceans'. Unraveling mysteries beneath the waves, it's a mesmerizing exploration of history and intrigue.
Hav you heard the u.s ship charlestone.?? Way back 1993 fishermen from cagayan.found the ship sank near the bermuda triangle of the northern part of cagayan.. Found beneath were silver coins and golds.. You Can research it from the archive of inquirer news paper because they were the one who reported it.. It publish on may of 1993..
As a young boy during the 1970s. I went fishing with my father's boat. He always wants me to fish in the bow of the boat while his crews fished on the back of the stern. Most of the time, my fishing line was pulled by larger fish, and when my line was stuck, I was unable to pull it up. I look down under the ocean bed. I am able to see the skeletons of Japanese ships. I watched this National Geographic document, and now that I am older, I realize many Japanese' ships were sunk under Vietnamese territory in the ocean.
fun fact about yamato is she was made to sink to show the allies the rise of the imperial japanese represents the power of yamato and the sinking of yamato describes the fall of the japanese impire
let me educate u properly. japan is lacking industrial might compared to other naval powers like (especially) US. often, lacks of quantity is compensated with quality
The Yamato and Musashi battleships were built to fight WW1-type sea battles and showed how they were out-moded against the new strategies developed during WW2, with aerial bombing campaigns from aircraft. Same is happening now with tanks being destroyed with small drones loitering above them dropping grenades on it or into the turret. Also the hypersonic self-guided cruise missile might end the age of the supercarrier.
That was actually unfortunate for everyone, not just the Axis, because the Allies did the exact same thing during the same period of time-wasting money on pointless battleships
Japan at that time was serious about that fact. in truth they are the first nation to built aircraft carrier anew and not by converting other vessels. A6M Zero is designed for carrier-based operations. They had CV fleet. but lost ones at Midway and did try to rebuild carrier fleets, to the point of converting two Dreadnoughts afts by adding flight decks and the third of Yamato class Superdreadnought into Aircraft Carrier (The Biggest until USS Forrestal came to service).
In this episode of Drain the Oceans, "Mystery of the China Seas" exposes the remains of the biggest battleship ever put on the water and the extraordinary truth behind a 700-year-old mystery.

I miss education television. There's less and less of it. It's almost like there are powers that want to limit the amount of intelligent, educated people in the world.
Its simpler than that; its a short term focus on revenue only. Also concentration of capital in a few behemoths; that's all.
I'm afraid -almost like- isn't quite right. it is more along the lines of exactly what's happening
Exactly. Our high school graduate asked me "Where does the rest of the moon go when it's not full? 22 years old.
@@williamschlosser77 if he graduated at 22 that makes all of sense high school graduates are usually 17 or 18

Un-fortunately for the Japanese and Germany, the day of Battleships slugging it out toe to toe was setting and Carrier warfare was dawning.
That was actually unfortunate for everyone, not just the Axis, because the Allies did the exact same thing during the same period of time-wasting money on pointless battleships
..while today hypersonic missiles are making carriers non-viable in peer-to-peer naval warfare.
