Dear History Channel, this is the kind of video we want to see on yur channel...
not people selling scrap.
Jmordz this is not a history channel
@@danman7186 he already know he want to sent this message to history channel
Just down load Ublock Origin free and then bingo no more adds free :)
It's astounding how a ***VIDEO MADE BY A VIDEO GAME COMPANY*** is better than most of the stuff about WW2. it shows such care and devotion to material that you don't see on whatever channel airs this today.
Today on the History Channel, Yeah we gonna catch us some of them alligators
These documentaries are even better than the ones you see on History Channel. The epic music too..
All of the music besides what plays in the intro are present in the game
She was built by all woman builders. 100% volunteer Crew
Yuup
History channel with history where do you live? Here in India not even a single history is shown
where is CV-6 USS Enterprise & has ~20 Battle Stars? the history channel & Battle 360 show it was scalped & sad because didnt save as Museum ship ?
My grandfather, Lieutenant Donald Billington, USN, helped manage the repair and turnaround of the original USS Yorktown damaged in the battle of the Coral Sea. Often overlooked is the role of project management in ship repair. With detailed reports of damage coming to Pearl Harbor prior to the Yorktown’s return, my grandfather was awake for two days before the Yorktown even came in to Pearl. He was awake for three more days as he managed his portion of the repair of the Yorktown. The story was told to my grandfather that he was sound asleep standing at a lifeline after being awake for five days and was walked back to the stateroom totally asleep - totally exhausted. The Yorktown’s aircraft helped make the Battle of Midway one of America’s most decisive military victories.
My grandfather, John Claudis Stockstill, joined the Navy at age 56, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. His expertise in marine construction led him to be a chief petty officer in the Seabees, rebuilding the docks at Pearl Harbor. My father would later join him and attend the university of Hawaii. Two of my cousins, because of his service became naval aviators, one attended Annapolis, the other’s last assignment was XO at Pensacola naval air station.
@@slick1ru2 Because of the stories that my grandfather told, I joined the Navy and helped evacuate Vietnam in Operation New life.
@@kentcourtney5535 Thank you. You brought my wife's mother here. Thank you thank you thank you.
@@ethan7353 I am so grateful to hear of your story. It is amazing how many people I have run into that were evacuated through Operation New Life. It is even more amazing that they remember exactly where I was in the evacuation process. This is a small world, and we are all connected in ways that we cannot possibly imagine. Please give your family my warmest regards and heart connections.
I believe him They got that vessel into tip-top shape in a short amount of time
RIP uss Enterprise cv-6 u should do a video about the most decorated carrier of WWII
Ian Ooley i hope they do, though it seems doubtful, all of these so far have been about Museum ships. and sadly the Enterprise isnt around today. though the History Channel did a whole series on the Enterprise called Battle 360. anf its pretty awesome.
I'm still hoping we will see the Enterprise as a premium ship.
Woelke I'd buy it.
Woelke I'd buy it.
Ian Ooley YEAAAAAAAAAA USS ENTERPRISE USS ENTERPRISE USS ENTERPRISE
SHE HAD 20 BATTLE STARS (including a red star)
i watched battle 360 too
Woelke hey i watched battle 360 too :D
Japan: *bombs pearl harbor*
Germany: "why I hear boss music?"
Funny but Germany declared war on the US not the other way around
Germany we declared war on them .......... way do I hear boss music
Yes I know they did it after pearl harbor
Sure, talking w a entire ocean of distance, using the soviets like bait and letting the Brits fighting alone, what a braves.
@@hizenrw5496 you know the USS Yorktown was amarcan made ship with a amarcan crew
@@tacticalideasdefense4243 ah,Yes this floor here is made out of floor
I’ve been on the USS Yorktown. It was an amazing experience.
Suga Kookiez was the submarine and Cold War era destroyer there when you went?
Lcky
You dont realize how big it is until your looking up at it from the waterline in a 14foot fishing boat that I rented at the Charleston naval station..7 dollars an hour..back in 1988. I served on the John F Kennedy CV67 during my time in the navy. I'm glad they have preserved some of those WW2 era vessels. Besides Patriots point if u go up highway 17 to Wilmington NC one can take a tour of the battleship north Carolina which is also a well preserved peice of history.
Same I have been on it in Charleston
Went on it today and laffy
Man World War II was crazy. It was the pinnacle of modern Military power. No satellites No nuclear fire power. It was the time when naval, ground and air combat was at the highest strength. Every country pulled no stops and created amazing machines of war that were beautifully horrible. We will never see another war like this it all about Nukes and words now. Is that a bad thing well that's a matter of opinion.
"No nuclear firepower (until the end)..." FTFY
Gus Davis yup
Murica
I was thinking about adding that but I didn't I thought people would just know that. Mainly I was talking about the fear of the use of Nuclear firepower. The Japanese didn't know that the bombs that would hit the city were new Nuclear bombs.
If u want something really crazy look at 1917 of ww1, shit hit the fan with estaples, Munties in Paris and the Russian revolution, and finally Percy toplis. Not to mention the God awful conditions of the trenches. They put corpses in the trench wall to hold it up.
+RememberPluto Nuclear weapons are weapons of absolute last resort. I doubt anyone wants to be around when those start going off.
Thank you to all war survivors. Peace to the fallen.
What was his job?
This video is incredible! Wargaming has managed to pack more information into fifteen minutes than most documentaries lasting an hour or more.
Great job!
Japan: *sinks the first yorktown* phew, glad that that one ship we kept losing to is gone, sadly we lost 4 to 1, but thats okay
America: *makes another yorktown*
Japan: why do i hear boss music
You failed to push the Brits out of Egypt
@@michaelmyers3659 LOL took me a while there HAHAHA
Oooooooooooooof
Also Japan: *Regrets sinking because the newer Yorktown now got more AA defence than the original Yorktown*
Hornet and Lexi: were back boiiii
My dad was LSO on Yorktown in the late 50's until about 61. I remember going to the docks in Alameda,Ca. to see him off and welcome him home from year long cruises. Tough times when your a 10 year old kid.
Hiring a British guy to sing the glories of a vessel called the “Yorktown” is the biggest flex of all time
Haha haha
Yamato: *Exists*
USS Yorktown:I'm about to end this man's carreer
ItsPrinceRavenPlayz Hero Academy United indeed.
@Maho online S thanks so much😁
Any destroyer: I'm about to end all of your careers
@Owen Yin subs: laughs
@Robin Banks not today
*Targets him with my main batteries*
I spent a weekend on the carrier with my Boy Scout troop around 1985. We had a blast, I'd love to go back, there were a lot of places we went that weren't lit that were off limits back then.
Why do you still not have a Naval Legends about CV-6, the most decorated US ship ever. The Big E deserves this guys! Honor her legacy!
@Thomas Giblin it’s probably because the USS Enterprise has been scrapped, or most of the people know her story.
The explanation of the carrier, armament, armor, planes and propulsion was exquisite.
True story, one summer in the yards me and a guy named BTFN Humphrey crawled through and swept out the stacks from #2 Fireroom, number three boiler on the USS Lexington. I spent 5 years on that ship working in both forward firerooms. Over the five years, I managed to explore most areas of the ship including the magazines that were located under the forward elevator, most of the island structure, all of the engineering spaces and shaft alleys. Truly amazing time of my life. Those 8 boilers, learning to operate them has given me one hell of a career.
Of the 4 museum ships I've been to (Massachusetts, Intrepid, Yorktown, and North Carolina) Yorktown was by far the most impressive (to my recollection, as it's been a long time since I saw Intrepid).
That thing was big enough that you could spend a whole day and then some exploring it alone, then there's the other ships and exhibits too.
North Carolina had a certain artistically inspiring quality to her, and Massachusetts is the closest I could call a warship to home away from home for amount of time I've been visiting her.
But Yorktown was like a floating city, and not in the sense that one speaks about battleships, I mean a whole new level of immense.
I was in pain for 2 days after visiting her and probably walked the length of Manhattan total.
i went to go visit yorktown in charleston a few days ago!!! can not forget the technology and size of instruments and mechanisms aboard the carrier. this was engineering at its finest at that time.
I have to say this seems like a very good ad campaign. I wouldn't normally have considered signing up for World of Warships but this series has changed that. Good work!
In a couple of shots, the ship in front of Yorktown is the destroyer Laffey
Brave Yorktown! You did all that was asked of you and more!
While touring the Yorktown at Patriot's Point I saw a poster on a bulletin board about the Liberty ship John Brown informing of cruises it was having. I followed up and bought a ticket ($125)...I tried to get my father to go along because he served in Navy WW2 but he said was too old. Riding the John Brown out to sea was the best thing I've ever done! They had reenactors on board...including "Abbott & Costello" (did "Who's On First" skit)...mock attacks by WW2 airplanes...and an orchestra playing period music. Got to see the steam engine running too!
Was worth every penny...wanna do it again!
🇺🇸😃👍
I’ve lived next to this ship my whole life and visited it countless times. Little fun fact I know about it. It was somewhat of a ghost ship to the Japanese. The original CV-5 was hit with a huge hole in the flight deck and was thought to be sunk. The ship was fixed in only a few days, which was a huge accomplishment. It was present and sank at the battle of midway confusing many Japanese sailors. One of the CV-10 Yorktown’s first assignments was to sail over the wreck of the original CV-5. It was spotted by Japanese scouts and imagine seeing the ship you supposedly sank twice right above its resting spot.
@O.P.W yeah that bomb hole u mentioned was at the lesser known Battle of The Coral Sea, where the USS Lexington was sunk, and was the first combat operation for aircraft carriers.
Very fun. Might do again
The narrator sounds like David Attenborough. "Here we see the Yamato, on a brave mission to reinforce key islands of the Imperial Japanese Navy. But, look, a predator has appeared!"
I actually just visited Patriot’s Point a few days ago. It was absolutely incredible, I’d love to go there again.
I worked on the USS Essex (LHD-2) a couple of years ago. I didn't know that there was an old Essex class of aircraft carriers back then. The name "Essex" has a lot of history behind it, incredible!
Love this, please do a series of these videos.
The fact that these videos are Russians, they know more than any of us does.
Amazing work by a video game company.
the amount of effort wargaming takes to make these along with the quality of their work is just amazing. props to them
I wouldn’t say they know more than any of us just civies like you who don’t take the time to learn
Intelligence is earned
So the russians know the weakness of american ships then
I grew up in Mt.Pleasant and have crawled all through this ship. Make sure you have a backup flash light if you wanna go "off tour" hehe.
This is a really good video about a ship I got to take a tour on while I was stationed down in Charleston, S.C. I wish I could have served on a carrier instead of a frigate while I was still in the Navy. I somehow doubt I would have even gotten seasick as much as I did. Thanks for the history lesson too!
That makes your videos better, is that music. I truly love it. I just keep on repaying it to hear it.🥰🥰
Thank you for your hard work 💜 for this documentary, and history of this ship I oncenever knew.
Essex Class Aircraft Carrier, USS Yorktown CV-10
Do the USS Laffey DD 724
I've gone to see this monster in Charleston. It's just a shame how you can't freely roam to explore everything you'd like to on the ship. Some places are blocked for only certain tour groups. I didn't have much time to explore the topside either, but it's a marvelous work of engineering, and a helping force in our Pacific campaign.
My Dad served on the USS Yorktown CV10 during World War II. He was an Ordinance Engineer in charge of the bombs, torpedos, and sighting in the 50 Caliber Browning machine guns on the airplanes. He has passed on, but I have the yearbook from the Yorktown. It is called “Into the wind”. Dad said that this is because they launched the planes into the wind. He was talking about this when he passed on. I will never stop missing him.
I had the opportunity to visit the Yorktown at its home in Charleston, SC. It was well worth it. Anyone who watched this video should go there!
Ahh... Yorktown, I miss this class. What a reliable Carrier
USS ENTERPRISE
the enterprise got scraped
tears...
RIP USS ENTERPRISE WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU
RIP big E. May you rest far from scrappers whom may glance at you.
It was stupid to scrap the Big E, so disrespectful to just scrap a ship that has done so much in the war.
It was stupid to scrap the Big E, so disrespectful to just scrap a ship that has done so much in the war.
Good thing to watch..... love the music.........
please continue this series..........
I really love this type of Videos! Thx a lot and keep on.....
Japan "I bombed pearl harbor"
Germany: "WHAT THE beep"
i actually went on the yorktown :D it looked so cool and i also got on/in the destroyer and the submarine that were near by it was again cool and i'm not forgetting the Yorktown and the reason being she was one of our best aircraft carriers and i went on a field trip to/on her and i saw a f22 skyraider or skyrider (din't get a good look at the name) and i even got to see a few favorite planes of mine as well
didn't*
NJ gamer that cool I've been on the ship twice and I'm going back third
I went on this ship in charleston at 5 years old
Same, but it freaked me out being on the submarine.
What the hell is an "f22 skyraider"?
Been there, it really is an awesome ship, but didn’t know it had this much history until I saw this!
Definitely my favorite museum that I’ve ever been fortunate enough to see was going to see the USS Yorktown. As well as the submarine that’s docked beside it (where a worker told me where the emergency sirens on the sub was and told us how to make it go off….should of seen ppl running when we hit it people thought we was either diving or being sunk hahaha) but I completely loved the tour and our tour guide was amazing my dad had just had one of his back surgeries and felt he slowed us down and explained to the tour guy he felt bad us kids at the time wouldn’t be able to see everything that was offered, and he said hang out here just a couple minutes and went and came back with tickets for us all to come back the next day and said “y’all take as much time as you need and come back tomorrow, the ship will be here and you can pick up where you left off at” it meant a lot to me and my cousins that went that someone would do that for us so we could get to see everything and not miss anything because I’ve always been a history nerd, my wife to this day calls me “her little nerd” lol but tell me all the time that I’m the one that will help our kids with history classes and homework when the time comes hahaha
Please do one of these in the USE Enterprise CV6N. My Grandfather was a tailgunner in one of her Dauntless divebombers from 43-45.
USS Damon autocorrect!!!!
I've always favored the Enterprise CV6...what a historical Navy ship. Wish it had been preserved instead of being scrapped.
Yamato: I am invincible
Yorktown: hold my beer
I can’t think of any video game company doing such quality content. Especially not the amount either. Thank you!
Yorktown is awesome. I was lucky enough to spend a weekend on board and slept in those beds when i was in boy scouts. that was a blast being to go all over the ship after hours when the tours were gone. i wont forget it
me too! I am 44 now , but as a tenderfoot I was lucky enough to spend a weekend on that ship. I can still remember the vintage smell and getting access to areas normal tourists were not was a real treat.. Eating in the galley and sleeping in the barracks on the same cots that the enlisted men were in.. I will never forget that experience.
Love the Essex class of carriers
The History Channel we see on cable TV seldom (emphasis) show such historic shows or footage. Instead, you get reality shows about junk dealers, ridiculous pawn shops or living in the wild with an axe and gun. The Essex carriers, built for WWII, were in a class by themselves. No other navy had an aircraft carrier even close to its size and displacement. While none of the air combat was ever simple, the Essex class carriers
Gave the U.S. Navy and its aviators a clear advantage in terms of aircraft and defensive firepower. Our Navy’s experience led to later and even larger carriers in the decades following WWII, and we are stronger and safer because of it.
I’ve visited Yorktown twice. Awesome experience!
Just love these series!
The surviving crew members of USS Enterprise will mount a naval assault on your area
15:45 Who snuck that in?
Hi
I stayed two nights on the Yorktown. I explored parts of the ship that tourists dont see. It was a very interesting experience.
ik im late but i loved this carrier got to spend the night on it too thx WG for this naval legends
What ship would you like to see a Naval Legends video on?
The Giant Slayers : USS Johnston and USS Samuel B. Roberts
Hms hood! Plz
HMS Warspite and HMS Illustrious.
USS Missouri, one of the Iowas class battleships. it is the only battleship i think that is still in service. it fight in the golf wars and that is where japan sign its surrender and ending ww2.
USS Iwo
The amount of history on 1 ship is amazing.
Loving these Vids.keep it up WG
Can't wait to go sleep on it in April, I've been on the ship twice and is going back third, so I know ship almost like the back of my hand and that still doesn't stop me from learning more.
What about the "Blue Ghost" Lexington carrier?
nimitz: i need this ship, idc if you make the runway is wood, yorktown will sail in 72 hour
He said plywood
During WW2, my grandfather was in the crows nest in the USS Yorktown. I hope to visit the ship sometime in the near future
Given that both Yorktown and Hornet of the Essex-class are museum-ships, I guess I can tell that the fighting spirit of Enty lives within them.
Awesome music btw, easily one of the best in the Naval Legends.
USS Midway please~
I call her "Yamato Slayer"
You mean "Yamato Hunter"?
9 years later and I could still watch these 24/7
I went to SC for a vacation with my parents and sister back in 2011, I got to see this ship and I was ginning ear to ear because I’ve never been on a carrier before. Ironically, my pastor at my church served on that ship back in WWII and I got to see the plane he flew, the TBF Avenger, that’s day was the day I chose that I would join the navy and become a pilot. Still waiting for the chance for 2 more years, but I know what I want to do in the Navy
You guys are missing the USS Enterprise!
nicholassmth1 IKR AND ITS BETTER THAN YORKTOWN
IT HAS 20 BATTLE STARS AND INCLUDING A RED STAR ;-;
@@benmcccool0123 Yes it does aswell as Presidential Unit Citation and a couple of other ribbons.
@@snipars2233 Looking back at my childish comment, I do agree on how it was very stupid for the US to scrap her with all of the achievements she earned. I don't get why they didn't modernize her like how the essex and second hornet carrier did.
BIG E!!!!!!!!!
The short answer to your question is that the enterprise that serve during World War II was a pre-war carrier. The machinery and equipment that was installed was not as adaptable as the newer Essex class ships. Admiral Halsey did attempt to launch a campaign to have her turned into a museum ship but it failed probably because of lack of money. Eventually she was broken up.
I visited her, Laffey, and Clamagore at patriot's point.
Great Video!
Unbelievable Yorktown Defeat Yamato! It seems i underestimate Yorktown.....i Love Battleship History Video, Thank you.
Looks like I'm taking a drive to South Carolina
NATER8o8 yeah I get to see it all the time cause I live in charleston
I went to patriots point years ago. It was amazing.
I live here sooo yeah I come here all the time
The battleship could have been made more significant so long as the IJN decided to properly use them at Midway.
Had the battleships been up front and the carriers were trailing behind it would have been a lot harder for the US planes to strike these additional targets.
Some battleships could have shelled Midway and some push forward with destroyer escorts to pose a threat to Task Force 17 and 16.
Our ship (Lexington) used to go to send members of the crew to the Yorktown to recover parts, valves, pumps. On one visit a sailor was killed when an armored hatch fell on him. One of those tragic things that happen.
Awesome to see detail of the ship my father served on from 1954 to 1957.
Shit..i was stationed in South Carolina for 3 years and i had no idea that the carrier in Charleston was the Yorktown. If i knew that i would of went aboard to check it out.
Do the USS LAFFEY DD-724
@@british_royal_navy That brings back surreal memories. In the Laffey's gun turret they do a reenactment of the last five minutes before the kamikaze hits. That is one of the most moving, surreal, dreadful experiences.
Nicely done!
I Luved The Exhibit At Patriots Point, Charleston, SC!
Yamato was truly a floating bunker
No, a floating hotel
@Deus Lo Vult if you know kancolle you'll know what I mean
Always book Yamato
World of waiting -,-
The USS Yorktown CV-5 was one helluva tough ship! She took multiple beatings and kept coming back until she was finally lost at Midway... CV-10 definitely lived up to the legacy of Yorktown!
In 63 or 64 Dad had fighter friends stationed on Yorktown @ Sasabo Japan. We spent the day was assigned an Ensign and toured the ship ending in the Officers Mess, signing the Guest Book and having a wonderful meal & the best cream puff I've ever had. Unfortunately the Guest Books never surfaced, when living in Savannah, I toured the ship again now 55 years later, brought back many memories.
know her because of Azur Lane tho
Yea same here
That's a different Yorktown my dude.
Why did they choose the Yorktown over her sister ship, Enterprise? I feel the Enterprise deserves more of a mention because of her battle record! Do the Lucky "E"!
Well to be honest thats not the Enterprise sister ship. The Yorktown that was the big E sister ship was sunk at midway. This is a essex class of the same name.
+Patrick Lenigan you do know that the ship here is a Essex Class carrier
yeah, I realized that just after typing my comment... *facepalms*
Why is Emperiste some popular?
+Fossil 123 most decorated us ship of ww2
More more more love these documentaries
What a cool channel, good on you world was ships
Ok...so when you brought up Yorktown, you weren't going to talk about the Yorktown-class carrier....but to 'bump' the Essex-class. Talk about the Yorktown class next time, and I might watch.
why cant you use metric system
Because this is an American ship
so what if its american is it so hard to put also metric system with imperial
Tiberius11111111 AMERICAN SHIP GET AMERICAN MEASUREMENTS UNDERSTAND!
and technically America won WW2 for the world b/c britain would have fallen without us and south america didn't have good armies to help so yea the world should be using the US system instaed b/c we saved their A$$e$
Bnadit Fleet U ok ?
Bnadit Fleet It is good to have some pride but i'm sure that the world can still handle ww2 well even if America didn't enter the war
I've been there so many times. I need to go again since my next ship in Space Engineers will be based off of the Yorktown.
I would like to point out that USS Enterprize CV-6 was the pride of the US Navy as she held the line as most US Fleet Carriers were sunk or crippled she took hits but she never went down
I'm here because of Azur Lane and because I play World of Warships
Ok?
they should have spared enterprise not yorktown
Why not both?
+Toastable Pie yorktown sank and Enterprise is planned to be scrapped
They sank the Yamato
I remember visiting the Yorktown at Patriots Points after a big Hurricane came in and messed some stuff up, but there stood the Yorktown with at most a few dents on its side
WOWS deserves to be famous.
Can't they just use the metric system?!?
How long is 872 feet?
T. Rietbergen on a serious note, about 250 meters. They probably said it in feet due to the USN supplying the characteristcs of the ship in the imperial system.
Can't you just get that this is an American ship, and thus they will use American-employed measurements.
T. Rietbergen Around 872 size 45 shoes lined up heel to toe...
Panzergrenadier Productions you cant blame the dude though. I mean, I think its about time we started using the metric system
PancakePredator I feel that the imperial system is easier to imagine though...I grew up using the metric system and I still can't imagine how long 200m is.
I watched this video before going on the USS Yorktown in Charleston SC
Just looking at the Yorktown can amaze you
While they were there, they should have done the USS Laffey. It's a destroyer that took a beating even battleships can't withstand and sailed hundreds of miles to safety still. Its right next to the Yorktown and is one of the most badass ships in my opinion.
