Halfway through I was thinking this sounds a lot like the Bismarck, and then the engagement with the Queen Elizabeth and the Artemis completely proved it. I always love stuff like that, bringing in actual historical battles and Concepts into a Star Trek setting
Battleship Bismarck would like to have a word with you ;-) At least Bismarck sunk the Hood. Hutet: Enterprise, you got time? Enterprise: Nah, diplomatic stuff to do, ya know? Hutet: Good, i can't penetrate plot armor anyway. You going to Romolus anyday soon? Enterprise: Yeah, maybe. Why? Hutet: Nothing...
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Unless, like I and some others have discussed, Section 31 has a small fleet of "Oberths" - that are actually anything but. They only look like them. Take a moment to imagine what Royal Fuckery you can do, if you only hold a ship to its outside looks, core out the inside, and fill it with anything your "super top secret, can get anything we want, even Alien tech" imagination can fathom.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 See, that's how Trekkers should be thinking about the Oberths. They're scouts, but also perfect for logistics and coordination. Of course you dont send them into battle. You wouldn't with a EWCM plane, either. But you NEED that supported logistics in ANY battle. How you used an Oberth as the only survivor at the Battle of Wolf-359? (Even though, I thought it was the Nebula class USS Endeavour that was the survivor.) That's perfect. It makes sense.

Kinda sucks that Damar never got his hands on a Hutet. There could've been a whole episode of Damar stealing the Hutet from drydock and using its weapons on Rondak. Then the Hutet could've served as Damar's mobile base of operations which would have made for some wicked exterior shots for those episodes.
I think by season 7 paramount was in cheapskate mode and not putting much into the show. They couldn't even give us a "new" battle for the finale, it was repurposed footage from the rest of the war so a brand new "hero" ship wouldn't be an option as cool as it would be.
@@Grimloxz Which I recall is pretty much how Damar's Free Cardassian Forces got wiped out that one of his officers turned coat on him. Still, could have made for good story, about Damar using the Hutet as his mobile base and as a symbol of a Free Cardassia to inspire the people and Kira straight up telling him what a massive load the ship ends up being, for how much fuel it needs, how many crew is needs and what a massive target it presents.
@@weldonwin After Damar turn coat he could have been supplied and crewed by Starfleet and the Klingons. I'm sure they would come up with the man power and the ships needs.
Dude your narration skills tell it like an actual historical documentary. I applaud and encourage you to do an entire series on the dominion war and its battles. Spectacular. Keep up the great work! 👏🏻👍🏻
Excellent story and artwork! Dominion treachery is definitely a realistic cause for the Hutet's fate, and why we never got to see it any of the main fleet battles in DS9. It makes sense that the Dominion would fear the Hutet and what it represented to the Cardassians - naturally seeking to sabotage and discredit the mighty ship as soundly as possible. They had their own battleships, but of course the Cardassians doing the same wasn't "cost efficient"... Can't let your subjects gain too much power after all, right? So they sent it off on a suicide mission. Clearly they underestimated what a beast of ship it was though. It's incredible what it accomplished all on its own.
Cardasia 15 years later after the war: hey why don't we revive the Hutet platform but instead of a massive battlecruiser it's a relatively smaller but better armed ship with stealth and intelligence capabilities.
It shows that in the ST universe, like in the real WWII histories, large ships work best in battle groups. Battleships always functioned best when with full groups including destroyers and carriers. When isolated, any ship will go down when facing a full fleet, or navy.
I really loved the parallels with the hunt for the Bismarck. It kinda reminded me of how in TOS balance of terror they based Kirk's confrontation with the Romulans on how submarine combat was depicted in a movie
If the obsidian order were only half as good as ever claimed, the Cardassian Central Command would know that the Galaxy class is not a warship, but rather a spaceship city. Of course, the Galaxy class is well armed like all other Starfleet ships, with the exception of the Oberth class. There are kindergartens, schools, swimming pools, fitness studios, concert halls, several theaters, large scientific laboratories, several holodecks and negotiation rooms. The captain of a ship of the Galaxy class not only commands a spaceship of the Starfleet but is also the mayor of the spaceship city and also the scientific director of all scientific institutions.
This story reminds me of the battleship Yamato. It's propulsion or steering severely limited, yet still a threat. Then again I am not sure how else it could of ended. I side with Cardassia that it was a good stand. And that it too, was also a victory for Starfleet. However the Dominion acting like it was a useless ship really grinds my gears. A shame one was not available to switch sides and fire an endless stream at the Dominion at the final battle. That would of been a sight to behold.
Very well told, reminds me of stories I was told about a one of the kind German warship during WWII, The Bismarck I believe. As for The Hutet, I do remember this ship from the game DS:9 Dominion Wars where I was part of a mission against it commanding a ship which was also a one of a kind Starfleet vessel, it resembled an Intrepid class but with a lower, wider profile and the hull had an armoured look like the Enterprise E. It fired 5 pulse phaser cannons forwards from the bottom of the saucer whiles simultaniously firing 4 quantum torpedoes forwards from the top of the saucer, it also had regular beam phasers and photon torpedoes which fired from the dorsal and aft sections. With this hugely powerful ship and help from a few NPC ships you eventually defeat The Hutet. It was a good game that though unfortunately I only ever got it to work on Windows 98, once XP and further more advanced operating systems came in, the game simply wouldn't run for me. A shame really as it had a lot of good missions like this and the recovery of Thomas Riker. Etc.
WOW, HUTET had one hell of a run. Far better then Bismark or Yamato both of which only got a one-way cruise before being sunk. The HUTET was able to destroy a fleets worth of ships, and create a huge distraction, pulling even more off the front lines, probably holes that were exploited viciously by Dominion Raiders. So 2 Starbases, At least 20 ships including two separate task forces specifically assigned to hunt her down and who knows HOW many freighters and other targets of opportunity. As GARAK would say: I'D CALL THAT A GOOD BARGAIN.
Uh, "the behemoth didn't fit into Dominion doctrine"?? They built a much more massive dreadnaught type than the Hutet. The one the USS Valiant tried to take down. Also, many more were seen in orbit of Cardassia Prime in "What we leave Behind". The Hutet is also much larger than 800m. Every source i can find has it around twice that length.
Nice adaptation of the hunt for the Bismark, especially liked the not to the Tribal class DDs that harassed Bismark, would have been nice if you'd worked in a reference to ORP Piorun the Polish ship that taunted Bismark by signal light during her attack, maybe a Bjoran or Maquis crewed ship? Only other change I'd have made is replacing the Nebula and Galaxy with an Excelsior (there's even a USS Hood, NCC 42296) and a newly commissioned Sovereign to better match the relative ages of Hood and Prince of Wales.
In Discovery's defence, the Dominion War is literally basically the Best Trek arc there is. It blows most of TOS, TNG and Voyager out of the water too.
"That this behemoth warship, did not fit into Cardassian or Dominion doctrine." Meanwhile; the Jem'hadar dreadnaught-battleship: "Am I a joke to you." It would appear that quite a bit of Cardassian society has managed to quickly rub itself onto the Dominion.
Dominion: "its ok when we make a giant battleship..." although i will cover that shift in doctrine in the future, suffice it to say it began once the romulans joined.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Suffice to say, as far as we know, the Dominion had not fought a war, a REAL war in centuries with the Jem'Hadar fleet having been mostly serving in a patrol and "Peace Keeping" role and hadn't needed any large scale capitol ships since they didn't have any enemies who fielded them
@@weldonwin ; So another thing the Dominion and the Federation have in common then. It does make one think how devastating the Dominion War would have been in both sides were fully mobilized and militarized with hundreds if not thousands of Sovereigns, Prometheuses, Defiants, and Akiras duking it out with Jem'Hadar fighters and battleships.
@@occultatumquaestio5226 Well, the Dominion were well placed for a long war of attrition, since they could just clone their soldiers and ship crews, could churn out ships rapidly in vast numbers, only needing raw resources and had armies that were utterly indifferent to their own casualties and were indoctrinated for loyalty and aggression. If the Dominion were fully mobilized, they would have won in the long term by just burying the Alpha Quadrant in expendable reinforcements. After all, the Jem'Hadar and Vorta are happy to give their lives for the Founders and the Founders can always make more of them and besides, they're only Solids
@@weldonwin ; This scenario of course, is excluding asymmetrical tactics such as the closing of the wormhole & the Section 31 morphogenic virus, and also assumes that the Dominion has the resources, infrastructure, logistical capacity, and local stability (both internal & external to avoid invasions and/or rebellions) to send most of their military into the Alpha Quadrant. Also while Dominion's ground troops are able to be grown an raised quickly, their ship construction speeds to be around as fast or even slower than that of the Federation's. Plus as I said in the last comment Starfleet and it's allies would also already be fully mobilized and militarized, hundreds if not thousands of Sovereigns and Prometheuses would almost certainly be able to take on anything the Dominion has, especially with homefield advantage. In a pure war of attrition, with no tactics and fighting to the last ship and solider, I would agree with you and say the Dominion and it's allies would win, but it would be much a pyrrhic victory. Where if more asymmetric tactics and larger strategies were to be employed, even without the morphogenic virus I would say the Federation and it's allies would have a strong/likely chance of victory. Going back to my previous comment however, I was more thinking about how much more bloody and ferocious, and destructive the conflict would be overall, not who would be the winner.
My man this was an awesome video, you combined 2 of my favorite things. Star trek, and history Channel documentary about ww2. I feel like you should reach out to them to see if you could do do some kind of Narration work for them. I look forward to your next video.
You know, three years in, still love this one. Also, you gotta give it to the Hutet, it gave far better than it got. Like, if I was an analysist in the Dominion at that point, I'd actually have ordered more constructed. Cause by itself, it took out: One Battleship(Queen Elizabeth), two cruisers(Unnamed Cheyanne-class and the Swayze(is that how you spell it?), and several cargo ships, as well as disabling the cruiser Tsonga(again, hope I'm spelling that right), and the King George and Merzi, as well as heavily damaging the other five ships in that Galaxy-wing. It pulled and tied down 16 ships in it's destruction, three of which will not be seeing combat again ever, and 8 of the others having to be put in for repairs, with at least three probably going to be in drydock for at least a few months. That is well worth the investment of that one Battleship!
"Inform Starfleet Command. We engaged the Hutet" The Hutet destroyed the Queen Elizabeth with one volley by a hit in their armory. I get here hard, Bismarck and Hood vipes. I like it.
8:17 - 2 Cells down and 2 from the left. Is there beta Canon that confirms that the Xindi eventually joined the federation? This story is basically a reprisal of the sinking of the Bismark. Well told though.
"Multi-role capital ship" is a more apt description for a galaxy class ship. With its huge internal volume (far more than needed for its weapons and crew) including its large primary shuttle bay that could, and presumably did, host a squadron of Peregrine fighters, a galaxy class ship's military roles would probably include: fighter-craft/landing boat carrier, troop transporter, as well as battleship.
This is why you have to stay on your toes and pay attention. Damn it Man!! We must keep exploring make new alliance and continue drawing up new and more powerful starships.Uuuggh. You Sir did it again 🙃👊
Very good story and such an imaginative retelling of a huge battleship we've only seen once on Star Trek DS9. In the DS9 episode "Sacrifice of Angels", one of the last Cardassian warships destroyed was a Hutet I'm sure of it, but that battleship was heavily damaged or even destroyed by Klingon ships allowing the Defiant to punch through the Dominion attack fleet and warp directly to DS9 and the wormhole.
And I thought the Scimitar was ridiculous. It's part super-carrier, part super-dreadnought, part star base, part e-war ship. If it were a Starfleet vessel she'd be dubbed the USS Mary-Sue... or the Burnham.
Remember Dreadnought? That planet killing super-cruise-missile from that one episode of Voyager, that was armed with Quantum Torpedoes and heavy phasers, could fight its way through anything, could outsmart anything and was an all around Super Weapon? Yeah, that thing was supposed to be Cardassian too
@@RealengoPrimordialDemon Not heavily modified, they made ONE modification, just one, in the form of one B.Torres, reprogramming the AI and sending it back out to attack a new target. They made no structural changes and no systems changes beyond the reprogramming, it was simply stupidly broken OP and bore no resemblance to Cardassian technology we had seen before which always favored simple and reliable over fancy gadgets.
@@weldonwin dude the interface and OS was base in federation technology and to do that they'll have to heavily modify the components like O'Brien did to DS9. Also the weapons system look more like federation weapons. Voyager only has problems cause they didn't wanted to blow the thing off at the beginning. Also Cardassians don't have quantum torpedoes.
it is powerful but lacks those things that made the Scimitar truly overpowered- no cloak, not very agile, no super weapons, and requiring heavy maintenance.
Venom Geek Media 98: talks about the Hutet and how it was 'Destroyed' Me: "this whole thing sounds familiar… Oh Wait! The hunt for the German 'Super-Battleship' Bismarck." Loved the video Venom Geek Media 98! I remember when I was watching Deep Space nine back in my senior year of high school I saw the Dominion Battleship in the episode "Valiant" , but throughout the rest of the series, there wasn't any mention of the Hutet.
When I was a kid I wrote up lots of stories of the U.S.S. Ark Royal. A massive prototype Federation Battle Carrier that was meant to single handedly take on a Borg Cube. Her 'carrier' role was added during the dominion war. However never fired a shot in anger. Like the Defiant she was built and mothballed at a secret facility until she was needed. 'Zeal Does Not Rest'
We need a Bismarck themed song for this ship, and also it would've been cool if her sistership was a heavily modified version that required a qantum torpedo to put the ship down. "Warp core disabled, ship is unmaneuverable. We'll fight until the last disruptor.
thanks for the awesome Video this ship was a game changer but it also showed as always that bigger is not always better as valtar put it god is not on the side of the biggest battalions but on the better shots you can build a monster of a battleship but sooner or later someone will find a way to kill it again thanks for the awesome video keep up the great work
This was fantastic a well put documentary as such. As other in the comments have said, this is like the Bismark. Beast took out so many ships! How the dominion viewed it as a failure is beyond me! If the ship had more support ships, it would of done so much more. What a shame. Question though, as no wreckage was found, was it really destroyed? Transported somewhere maybe? Imagine if they had multiple ships. Dominion F up on this. Had me on the edge of my seat!
As a local power running on a shoe string economy and constantly strapped for resources, initiating an arms race with a galactic power like the Federation is effectively a race to failure. The Cardassian Union never had a chance to out-tech or out-build the Federation. When the Dominion War kicked off in earnest, a ship like the Hutet was obsolete the moment it's launched. If the Dominion needed a dreadnought, their own battleships are bigger and built using better and more reliable technology. No wonder the Dominion never had a high opinion of the Cardassians, they have a consistent track record of making bad decisions.
Amazing as always venom. Who else wants to see this as a 3 hour or 2 hour two parter movie? Two parter could be called The Hutet unleashed and the second The hutet's final hours.
the last engagement the obrek was at was the battle of the giants and she managed to get away. production of hutets resumed after the romulans joined the war. but they would always be outnumbered by dominion battleships.
that is an interesting second. technically most stars are in visual range... but the delay is such that we are seeing them from millions of years ago. sensors might be able to 'see a ship at 1Ls (light second) but what you'd actually be seeing the ship as it was 2 seconds ago.
personally get more of a Tri-plane vibe myself. the 3D model is available if you contact Ryselle-3D she is more than happy to share the model, and there are plenty of 3D printers out there. i'd love to see this done as a miniature.
BATTLE OF THE DENMARK STRAIT. Date of battle occurrence: May 24, 1941. Battle location: exact location unknown, about 100 nautical miles off the coast of Greenland. Battle is part of World War 2, particularly the Battle of the Atlantic, fought between the German Kreigsmarine and the British Royal Navy for six years. Battle bellergerants. German ships: battleship Bismarck and heavy cruiser Prinz Augen (pronounced prince oi-gan). British ships: battlecursier HMS Hood and battleship HMS Prince of Wales. Technical specifications. Bismarck: Weight: 58,000 tons. Main armament: 8 15 in. guns. Main armor belt: 13 inches. Prinz Augen: Main armament: 8 8 in. guns. HMS Hood: Main armament: 8 15 in. guns. Ship weight: 47,000 tons. Main armor belt: 12 inches. HMS Prince of Wales: Main armament: 10 14 in. guns. BATTLE SYNOPSIS AND OUTCOME. It is the dark, freezing morning of May 24th, 1941. The Bismarck and Prinz Augen race through the frigid waters of the Atlantic, trying to outrun the British heavy units that are rapidly closing from the port side, just 50 miles distant. By this time, the german lookouts see smoke on the horizon. The commander of the Bismarck's first operation, one Admiral Gunter Luciens, is under orders to avoid engaging British heavy units at all cost. But, As Hood and Prince of Wales begin firing at extreme range, around 14 miles, it seemed there was no way out. At around 9 miles away, the Bismarck's guns roared in a first firey salvo, quickly followed by Prinz Augen, directly at Hood. The fire yielded immediate results, as Prinz Augen's 8 inch shells hit Hood and detonate an ammonium locker, causing a substantial fire. By this time, Bismarck has fired 4 shots. The 5th salvo proves deadly. A shell penetrates the 3 inch deck armor just in front of Hood's mainmast and disappears. Two seconds later, a massive explosion tears Hood in two. In just 2-3 minutes, the pride of the Royal Navy, and for a long time, the biggest warship of the world, slips beneath the waves. Just 3 seaman out of a crew of 1,418 survive. But the battle is not over. The Prince of Wales, now fighting with malfunctioning armaments, is still firing at Bismarck, and scores at least one hit. But Wales has taken severe damage. After a shell passes through the bridge without exploding, the ship retreats, laying down a smokescreen. The short, yet shattering Battle of the Denmark strait thus came to an end.
its beta cannon from the game 'dominion wars' i believe. here is the source for the original stats however this 3D model does deviate in some areas. fasaststcs.com/index.php/thefleets/cardassian-fleet/hutet-class-xv-battleship/
That ship is a brutally strong battleship with insanely powerful weapons. It has six heavy spiral wave disruptors and twelve torpedo launchers and that's just facing forward
For anybody interested, I'm officially nearly finished making a Hutet Music Video inspired by this amazing lore, Ryselle-Chan's amazing art and Sabaton's Bismark.
Sounds like a fantasy uber ship - good at everything with no weaknesses. It's also funny the Cardassians of all people would build something like this.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Hardly what? "It's expensive" is not a weakness of the ship itself and the thing is taking on armadas of galaxy and nebula-class by itself. A Borg cube lacks agility too but, like this thing, it's so powerful it dosn't matter but at least with the cube it makes sense given what and who the borg are. Like I said, this is a fantasy uber ship. It still looks cool and I like the concept of the Cardassians trying to build something that can compete with a galaxy 1v1 but this is kinda silly. There is "power creep" and then there is putting on rockets and blasting to the moon. Even as silly as the idea was that a bunch of miners could build a super warbird with a "perfect cloak" even the Scimitar couldn't slug it out with fleet of federation capital ships for hours.
true but just because something is ridiculous doesn't stop it from actually existing, Bismark or the Maus are examples of this. the cardassians are at a tech level where they either have to turn up with more or overcompensate. i do actually have an episode on the scimitar which works to explain why it was so overpowered.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Bismarck was pretty contemporary for it's time and was quickly outgunned and outclassed by the South Dakota, Iowa, and Yamato-class. It was hardly a "ridiculous" battleship for it's time. I don't know as much about tanks but a quick lookup seems to indicate that the maus tank, while large, had little impact on the war.

Still, could have made for good story, about Damar using the Hutet as his mobile base and as a symbol of a Free Cardassia to inspire the people and Kira straight up telling him what a massive load the ship ends up being, for how much fuel it needs, how many crew is needs and what a massive target it presents.
@@weldonwin After Damar turn coat he could have been supplied and crewed by Starfleet and the Klingons. I'm sure they would come up with the man power and the ships needs.
Dude your narration skills tell it like an actual historical documentary. I applaud and encourage you to do an entire series on the dominion war and its battles. Spectacular. Keep up the great work! 👏🏻👍🏻
Sink the Bismarck, starfleet edition. Good work
":.. was intercepted by the USS Turing"
Ship name checks out.
Excellent story and artwork! Dominion treachery is definitely a realistic cause for the Hutet's fate, and why we never got to see it any of the main fleet battles in DS9. It makes sense that the Dominion would fear the Hutet and what it represented to the Cardassians - naturally seeking to sabotage and discredit the mighty ship as soundly as possible. They had their own battleships, but of course the Cardassians doing the same wasn't "cost efficient"... Can't let your subjects gain too much power after all, right? So they sent it off on a suicide mission. Clearly they underestimated what a beast of ship it was though. It's incredible what it accomplished all on its own.
The dominions definitely didn't want a galaxy killer in the hands of one of their subjects - lol subjects
Cardasia 15 years later after the war: hey why don't we revive the Hutet platform but instead of a massive battlecruiser it's a relatively smaller but better armed ship with stealth and intelligence capabilities.
It shows that in the ST universe, like in the real WWII histories, large ships work best in battle groups.
Battleships always functioned best when with full groups including destroyers and carriers.
When isolated, any ship will go down when facing a full fleet, or navy.
Hmm, homage to the Bismarck and the Admiral Graf Spee in one story. History will allways repeat.
Aaaaah. I love the smell of spiral wave disruptor in the morning.
Took out 2 starbases and dozens of starships. Quite the ship...
Getting real strong Bismarck vibes here. Good story
It's the bishmark IN SPAAACCEE
Didn't know Tupolev was a Cardassian . I mean that as a compliment.
Also was expecting the Federation fighters to be of the Swordfish class😁.
well their TOS era fighters so pretty much the same thing.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Where did you find the older fighters the Constellation was carrying?
I really loved the parallels with the hunt for the Bismarck. It kinda reminded me of how in TOS balance of terror they based Kirk's confrontation with the Romulans on how submarine combat was depicted in a movie
having the signal be intercepted by the USS Turing was a nice touch
@hadamapama that is something I did not notice but it fits
I'm a bit embarrassed at how excited I am🤓 I hit the reminder button too
same, no shame in it
Very well done! Did love this one. And yes, definitely a cry for the Bismark and various surface raiders in WW1 and WW2 particularly.
Bravo. Loved it. Reminiscent of the Bismark. You got a real talent for this.
If the obsidian order were only half as good as ever claimed, the Cardassian Central Command would know that the Galaxy class is not a warship, but rather a spaceship city. Of course, the Galaxy class is well armed like all other Starfleet ships, with the exception of the Oberth class. There are kindergartens, schools, swimming pools, fitness studios, concert halls, several theaters, large scientific laboratories, several holodecks and negotiation rooms. The captain of a ship of the Galaxy class not only commands a spaceship of the Starfleet but is also the mayor of the spaceship city and also the scientific director of all scientific institutions.
This story reminds me of the battleship Yamato. It's propulsion or steering severely limited, yet still a threat. Then again I am not sure how else it could of ended. I side with Cardassia that it was a good stand. And that it too, was also a victory for Starfleet. However the Dominion acting like it was a useless ship really grinds my gears. A shame one was not available to switch sides and fire an endless stream at the Dominion at the final battle. That would of been a sight to behold.
I really enjoyed this episode, very much a 'Sink the Bismarck' feel. Well done.
Very well told, reminds me of stories I was told about a one of the kind German warship during WWII, The Bismarck I believe. As for The Hutet, I do remember this ship from the game DS:9 Dominion Wars where I was part of a mission against it commanding a ship which was also a one of a kind Starfleet vessel, it resembled an Intrepid class but with a lower, wider profile and the hull had an armoured look like the Enterprise E. It fired 5 pulse phaser cannons forwards from the bottom of the saucer whiles simultaniously firing 4 quantum torpedoes forwards from the top of the saucer, it also had regular beam phasers and photon torpedoes which fired from the dorsal and aft sections. With this hugely powerful ship and help from a few NPC ships you eventually defeat The Hutet. It was a good game that though unfortunately I only ever got it to work on Windows 98, once XP and further more advanced operating systems came in, the game simply wouldn't run for me. A shame really as it had a lot of good missions like this and the recovery of Thomas Riker. Etc.
Best story to date, it was really interesting, and finally one that I didn't know deeply. I hope for more such videos.
WOW, HUTET had one hell of a run. Far better then Bismark or Yamato both of which only got a one-way cruise before being sunk. The HUTET was able to destroy a fleets worth of ships, and create a huge distraction, pulling even more off the front lines, probably holes that were exploited viciously by Dominion Raiders.
So 2 Starbases, At least 20 ships including two separate task forces specifically assigned to hunt her down and who knows HOW many freighters and other targets of opportunity.
As GARAK would say: I'D CALL THAT A GOOD BARGAIN.
Bismarck went down swinging and yamato went down crying
@@sethcourtemanche5738 ya..... it got one old battlecruiser far past its prime.
@@sethcourtemanche5738 Yamato went down in a last ditch effort that was pointless.
Fantastic! I love this ship and the Lore! Always a treat and pure escapism in a troubled world! Come on y'all we gotta get our boy to 10k!
thank you for your support.
Look up an "Admiral Holland" if you're curious. Looks like his great, great xth grandchild hasn't made that rank yet. ;)
Love to see this in STO
Uh, "the behemoth didn't fit into Dominion doctrine"?? They built a much more massive dreadnaught type than the Hutet. The one the USS Valiant tried to take down. Also, many more were seen in orbit of Cardassia Prime in "What we leave Behind". The Hutet is also much larger than 800m. Every source i can find has it around twice that length.
This was a very compelling episode. It held my attention all the way through.
Specifications for the hutet: 864 meters long, 270 meters high, 661 meters wide. Forward armament: 6 heavy spiral wave disruptors, 12 torpedo launchers and 8 secondary medium spiral wave disruptors. Broadside armament: 18 medium disruptors (9 left/aft, 9 right/aft) and 12 beam torpedo launchers (6 left, 6 right) Aft armament:12 torpedo launchers
My second favorite Dominion War tale.
Nice adaptation of the hunt for the Bismark, especially liked the not to the Tribal class DDs that harassed Bismark, would have been nice if you'd worked in a reference to ORP Piorun the Polish ship that taunted Bismark by signal light during her attack, maybe a Bjoran or Maquis crewed ship? Only other change I'd have made is replacing the Nebula and Galaxy with an Excelsior (there's even a USS Hood, NCC 42296) and a newly commissioned Sovereign to better match the relative ages of Hood and Prince of Wales.
Detected by the USS Turing... nice touch.
A great retelling of the sinking of the Bismark. Outstanding graphics. Overall a great episode.

For riveting and entertaining than anything on Star Trek Discovery that's for sure. Well done!
In Discovery's defence, the Dominion War is literally basically the Best Trek arc there is. It blows most of TOS, TNG and Voyager out of the water too.
Hello, could you do a versus video of The Jem'Hadar soldiers against the Super Soldiers of TNG Season 3 Eps.11 "The Hunted".
Excellent video as always! I would love to see how a video covering the Achilles class starship would play out
Love the quality of the detail. Would be amazing to hear same commentary on the battles from TheExpanse and Galactica.
"That this behemoth warship, did not fit into Cardassian or Dominion doctrine."
Meanwhile; the Jem'hadar dreadnaught-battleship: "Am I a joke to you."
It would appear that quite a bit of Cardassian society has managed to quickly rub itself onto the Dominion.
Dominion: "its ok when we make a giant battleship..." although i will cover that shift in doctrine in the future, suffice it to say it began once the romulans joined.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Suffice to say, as far as we know, the Dominion had not fought a war, a REAL war in centuries with the Jem'Hadar fleet having been mostly serving in a patrol and "Peace Keeping" role and hadn't needed any large scale capitol ships since they didn't have any enemies who fielded them
@@weldonwin ; So another thing the Dominion and the Federation have in common then. It does make one think how devastating the Dominion War would have been in both sides were fully mobilized and militarized with hundreds if not thousands of Sovereigns, Prometheuses, Defiants, and Akiras duking it out with Jem'Hadar fighters and battleships.
@@occultatumquaestio5226 Well, the Dominion were well placed for a long war of attrition, since they could just clone their soldiers and ship crews, could churn out ships rapidly in vast numbers, only needing raw resources and had armies that were utterly indifferent to their own casualties and were indoctrinated for loyalty and aggression. If the Dominion were fully mobilized, they would have won in the long term by just burying the Alpha Quadrant in expendable reinforcements. After all, the Jem'Hadar and Vorta are happy to give their lives for the Founders and the Founders can always make more of them and besides, they're only Solids
@@weldonwin ; This scenario of course, is excluding asymmetrical tactics such as the closing of the wormhole & the Section 31 morphogenic virus, and also assumes that the Dominion has the resources, infrastructure, logistical capacity, and local stability (both internal & external to avoid invasions and/or rebellions) to send most of their military into the Alpha Quadrant. Also while Dominion's ground troops are able to be grown an raised quickly, their ship construction speeds to be around as fast or even slower than that of the Federation's. Plus as I said in the last comment Starfleet and it's allies would also already be fully mobilized and militarized, hundreds if not thousands of Sovereigns and Prometheuses would almost certainly be able to take on anything the Dominion has, especially with homefield advantage. In a pure war of attrition, with no tactics and fighting to the last ship and solider, I would agree with you and say the Dominion and it's allies would win, but it would be much a pyrrhic victory. Where if more asymmetric tactics and larger strategies were to be employed, even without the morphogenic virus I would say the Federation and it's allies would have a strong/likely chance of victory.
Going back to my previous comment however, I was more thinking about how much more bloody and ferocious, and destructive the conflict would be overall, not who would be the winner.
Oh yeah!! I forgot until now!!! Awesomeness!!!!!
thanks for remembering, i know notifications haven't been working recently.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Great episode Venom... wowza. Killed it.
So amazing well done excellent work keep it up respect dude.
Dude yur beyond awesome, I love how u make and narrate this awesome content.
My man this was an awesome video, you combined 2 of my favorite things. Star trek, and history Channel documentary about ww2. I feel like you should reach out to them to see if you could do do some kind of Narration work for them. I look forward to your next video.
You know, three years in, still love this one. Also, you gotta give it to the Hutet, it gave far better than it got. Like, if I was an analysist in the Dominion at that point, I'd actually have ordered more constructed.
Cause by itself, it took out: One Battleship(Queen Elizabeth), two cruisers(Unnamed Cheyanne-class and the Swayze(is that how you spell it?), and several cargo ships, as well as disabling the cruiser Tsonga(again, hope I'm spelling that right), and the King George and Merzi, as well as heavily damaging the other five ships in that Galaxy-wing. It pulled and tied down 16 ships in it's destruction, three of which will not be seeing combat again ever, and 8 of the others having to be put in for repairs, with at least three probably going to be in drydock for at least a few months. That is well worth the investment of that one Battleship!
"Inform Starfleet Command. We engaged the Hutet"
The Hutet destroyed the Queen Elizabeth with one volley by a hit in their armory. I get here hard, Bismarck and Hood vipes. I like it.
Including the obsolete fighters
Another tale well told. Nice job!!
Royal Navy vs the German Navy all-over again!! Great interpretation and reimagining of one of the greatest WWII sea battles.
The cardassian navy was more like the ijn
@@sethcourtemanche5738 the Cardassian Navy is more like the Kriegsmarine.
loving these Battlespaces and the Ships lore, thank you.
OOOHH YEAH THE BISMARCK IN SPACE! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BRO!
8:17 - 2 Cells down and 2 from the left. Is there beta Canon that confirms that the Xindi eventually joined the federation?
This story is basically a reprisal of the sinking of the Bismark. Well told though.
yes, im not sure if all but certainly most.
They're part of it in STO. And that's Beta Canon.
The hutet is basically the cardassian super star destroyer
"Multi-role capital ship" is a more apt description for a galaxy class ship. With its huge internal volume (far more than needed for its weapons and crew) including its large primary shuttle bay that could, and presumably did, host a squadron of Peregrine fighters, a galaxy class ship's military roles would probably include: fighter-craft/landing boat carrier, troop transporter, as well as battleship.
This is why you have to stay on your toes and pay attention. Damn it Man!! We must keep exploring make new alliance and continue drawing up new and more powerful starships.Uuuggh. You Sir did it again 🙃👊
Very good story and such an imaginative retelling of a huge battleship we've only seen once on Star Trek DS9. In the DS9 episode "Sacrifice of Angels", one of the last Cardassian warships destroyed was a Hutet I'm sure of it, but that battleship was heavily damaged or even destroyed by Klingon ships allowing the Defiant to punch through the Dominion attack fleet and warp directly to DS9 and the wormhole.
a couple of people have mention seeing it in the series, i can't say i have myself. i was only aware of its appearance in the video games.
It's possible that was the Hutet's sister ship mentioned here.
It's a great story, well told, I just keep thinking how cool it would have been to have Klingons hunt her
And I thought the Scimitar was ridiculous. It's part super-carrier, part super-dreadnought, part star base, part e-war ship. If it were a Starfleet vessel she'd be dubbed the USS Mary-Sue... or the Burnham.
Remember Dreadnought? That planet killing super-cruise-missile from that one episode of Voyager, that was armed with Quantum Torpedoes and heavy phasers, could fight its way through anything, could outsmart anything and was an all around Super Weapon? Yeah, that thing was supposed to be Cardassian too
@@weldonwin yeah, I was originally Cardassian but the Maqui heavily modified and gave it better weapon systems.
@@RealengoPrimordialDemon Not heavily modified, they made ONE modification, just one, in the form of one B.Torres, reprogramming the AI and sending it back out to attack a new target. They made no structural changes and no systems changes beyond the reprogramming, it was simply stupidly broken OP and bore no resemblance to Cardassian technology we had seen before which always favored simple and reliable over fancy gadgets.
@@weldonwin dude the interface and OS was base in federation technology and to do that they'll have to heavily modify the components like O'Brien did to DS9. Also the weapons system look more like federation weapons. Voyager only has problems cause they didn't wanted to blow the thing off at the beginning. Also Cardassians don't have quantum torpedoes.
it is powerful but lacks those things that made the Scimitar truly overpowered- no cloak, not very agile, no super weapons, and requiring heavy maintenance.
Thanks I have been looking forward to this missed the premier sadly
Venom Geek Media 98: talks about the Hutet and how it was 'Destroyed'
Me: "this whole thing sounds familiar… Oh Wait! The hunt for the German 'Super-Battleship' Bismarck."
Loved the video Venom Geek Media 98! I remember when I was watching Deep Space nine back in my senior year of high school I saw the Dominion Battleship in the episode "Valiant" , but throughout the rest of the series, there wasn't any mention of the Hutet.
Replay of the search and destruction of the Bismark by the British fleet.
Lol USS king george, kinda going overboard on the references😂
USS King George: I have a rather large pair of shoes to fill. Thanks Great Great Great Great granddad......
MHS King George: You got this.
@@Qardo that should be HMS King George V
When I was a kid I wrote up lots of stories of the U.S.S. Ark Royal. A massive prototype Federation Battle Carrier that was meant to single handedly take on a Borg Cube. Her 'carrier' role was added during the dominion war. However never fired a shot in anger. Like the Defiant she was built and mothballed at a secret facility until she was needed. 'Zeal Does Not Rest'
@@Palmerrip Huh...strange. I names one of my carriers in STO USS Ark Royal lol. Pretty good at taking on borg ships.
@@Qardo ME TOO! Odyssey Class.
I did name my Tier 6 Carrier Illustrustrious.
We need a Bismarck themed song for this ship, and also it would've been cool if her sistership was a heavily modified version that required a qantum torpedo to put the ship down.
"Warp core disabled, ship is unmaneuverable. We'll fight until the last disruptor.
A nice story. Backstage info is that thr Feds didn't loose a single war refit galaxy during the dominon war.
thanks for the awesome Video this ship was a game changer but it also showed as always that bigger is not always better as valtar put it god is not on the side of the biggest battalions but on the better shots you can build a monster of a battleship but sooner or later someone will find a way to kill it again thanks for the awesome video keep up the great work
Bismarck starfleet edition, well done keep it up. :)
Imagine if they made ten of these, and put about 1,000 galor class ships and 1,000 keldons and attacked the federation line.
I really enjoyed this video! Great work!
So the hutet oneshotted a galaxy class damn!
This was fantastic a well put documentary as such. As other in the comments have said, this is like the Bismark. Beast took out so many ships! How the dominion viewed it as a failure is beyond me! If the ship had more support ships, it would of done so much more. What a shame. Question though, as no wreckage was found, was it really destroyed? Transported somewhere maybe? Imagine if they had multiple ships. Dominion F up on this. Had me on the edge of my seat!
another excellent video as always 😊
As a local power running on a shoe string economy and constantly strapped for resources, initiating an arms race with a galactic power like the Federation is effectively a race to failure. The Cardassian Union never had a chance to out-tech or out-build the Federation. When the Dominion War kicked off in earnest, a ship like the Hutet was obsolete the moment it's launched. If the Dominion needed a dreadnought, their own battleships are bigger and built using better and more reliable technology. No wonder the Dominion never had a high opinion of the Cardassians, they have a consistent track record of making bad decisions.
What is the name of the music used at 21:30?
'the Battle of 1066' from the youtube audio library.
Amazing as always venom. Who else wants to see this as a 3 hour or 2 hour two parter movie?
Two parter could be called The Hutet unleashed and the second The hutet's final hours.
🖖😎👍Very cool and very well done indeed 👌.
Bismarck Mark 2 - Electric boogalo
The United Federation of planets I better get at least 20 Galaxy class Starships to deal with this problem
Awesome story. So much better than anything CBS has put out.
You say Hutet and Obrek are the only Huttets left however in your new video there are several even though Obrek was destroyed before that
the last engagement the obrek was at was the battle of the giants and she managed to get away. production of hutets resumed after the romulans joined the war. but they would always be outnumbered by dominion battleships.
It is always terrifying when a warship that large drops out of FTL in your face!
It would have been awesome to see the hutet during DS9 run, however yes the hutet matches the story of the bismarck
Great work once again
I am curious as to what distance would be considered "visual range".
that is an interesting second. technically most stars are in visual range... but the delay is such that we are seeing them from millions of years ago. sensors might be able to 'see a ship at 1Ls (light second) but what you'd actually be seeing the ship as it was 2 seconds ago.
I'd love to see Eaglemoss do this model, she looks like an oversized Keldon class to me.
personally get more of a Tri-plane vibe myself. the 3D model is available if you contact Ryselle-3D she is more than happy to share the model, and there are plenty of 3D printers out there. i'd love to see this done as a miniature.
BATTLE OF THE DENMARK STRAIT. Date of battle occurrence: May 24, 1941. Battle location: exact location unknown, about 100 nautical miles off the coast of Greenland. Battle is part of World War 2, particularly the Battle of the Atlantic, fought between the German Kreigsmarine and the British Royal Navy for six years. Battle bellergerants.
German ships: battleship Bismarck and heavy cruiser Prinz Augen (pronounced prince oi-gan). British ships: battlecursier HMS Hood and battleship HMS Prince of Wales. Technical specifications.
Bismarck: Weight: 58,000 tons.
Main armament: 8 15 in. guns. Main armor belt: 13 inches.
Prinz Augen:
Main armament: 8 8 in. guns.
HMS Hood:
Main armament: 8 15 in. guns. Ship weight: 47,000 tons. Main armor belt: 12 inches.
HMS Prince of Wales:
Main armament: 10 14 in. guns.
BATTLE SYNOPSIS AND OUTCOME. It is the dark, freezing morning of May 24th, 1941. The Bismarck and Prinz Augen race through the frigid waters of the Atlantic, trying to outrun the British heavy units that are rapidly closing from the port side, just 50 miles distant. By this time, the german lookouts see smoke on the horizon. The commander of the Bismarck's first operation, one Admiral Gunter Luciens, is under orders to avoid engaging British heavy units at all cost. But, As Hood and Prince of Wales begin firing at extreme range, around 14 miles, it seemed there was no way out. At around 9 miles away, the Bismarck's guns roared in a first firey salvo, quickly followed by Prinz Augen, directly at Hood. The fire yielded immediate results, as Prinz Augen's 8 inch shells hit Hood and detonate an ammonium locker, causing a substantial fire. By this time, Bismarck has fired 4 shots. The 5th salvo proves deadly. A shell penetrates the 3 inch deck armor just in front of Hood's mainmast and disappears. Two seconds later, a massive explosion tears Hood in two. In just 2-3 minutes, the pride of the Royal Navy, and for a long time, the biggest warship of the world, slips beneath the waves. Just 3 seaman out of a crew of 1,418 survive. But the battle is not over. The Prince of Wales, now fighting with malfunctioning armaments, is still firing at Bismarck, and scores at least one hit. But Wales has taken severe damage. After a shell passes through the bridge without exploding, the ship retreats, laying down a smokescreen. The short, yet shattering Battle of the Denmark strait thus came to an end.

Sounds like a fantasy uber ship - good at everything with no weaknesses. It's also funny the Cardassians of all people would build something like this.
hardly, it lacks agility is very expensive and costly to maintain, and lacks 'modern' armament instead simply achieving damage through brute force.
@@venomgeekmedia9886
Hardly what? "It's expensive" is not a weakness of the ship itself and the thing is taking on armadas of galaxy and nebula-class by itself. A Borg cube lacks agility too but, like this thing, it's so powerful it dosn't matter but at least with the cube it makes sense given what and who the borg are. Like I said, this is a fantasy uber ship. It still looks cool and I like the concept of the Cardassians trying to build something that can compete with a galaxy 1v1 but this is kinda silly. There is "power creep" and then there is putting on rockets and blasting to the moon.
Even as silly as the idea was that a bunch of miners could build a super warbird with a "perfect cloak" even the Scimitar couldn't slug it out with fleet of federation capital ships for hours.
true but just because something is ridiculous doesn't stop it from actually existing, Bismark or the Maus are examples of this. the cardassians are at a tech level where they either have to turn up with more or overcompensate. i do actually have an episode on the scimitar which works to explain why it was so overpowered.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Bismarck was pretty contemporary for it's time and was quickly outgunned and outclassed by the South Dakota, Iowa, and Yamato-class. It was hardly a "ridiculous" battleship for it's time.
I don't know as much about tanks but a quick lookup seems to indicate that the maus tank, while large, had little impact on the war.
