That would have been an amazing battle of they fixed the rudder. That should have been the main focus
“The most famous warship”
USS Missouri says hello 😂
I’m surprised that all 4 navy guns had to fire at once before finding the range!
It’s a waste of shells, isn’t it?
Better to fasten on to a ship’s position with single shots, and THEN go all out.
Wonder why they sent Hood instead of a carrier to begin with.
Battle cruisers were never ment to go up against a battleship
11:57 Kudos to the cameraman for getting close to the explosion, and surviving
GRATE program ‼️
Bitter enemies in combat, sympathetic fellow servicemen in victory. One thing you don’t see in Hollywood movies is the German serviceman’s sorrow for killing an enemy because they are demonized
Amount of ads is unbelievably ridiculous, unsubbed
There’s a new theory to what killed HMS Hood. It wasn’t a plunging shell hit she was hit below her water line. Due to the ship’s hull profile she exposed a bit of unarmored hull when she was running at flank. Either way she still got hit in a magazine.
Isn’t interesting how quickly arrogance will destroy you in the end.
From the mist a shape, a ship is taking form
And the silence of the sea is about to drift into a storm
Sign of power, show of force
Raise the anchor battleship plotting its course
Pride of a nation a beast made of steel
Bismarck in motion king of the ocean
He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas
To lead the warmachine
To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine
The terror of the seas
The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
They didn’t happen to mention that Rodney fired 8 torpedoes at Bismarck & got one hit. Being the only time a battleship ever scored a torpedo hit on another battleship.
If it wasn’t for the Hood the Bismarck would have gotten away and retreated
Would the Germans have fought so bravely if they had known hitler was gassing kindergartners ?
33:57
Tell me Moffet IS IN FACT the main character without telling me Moffet is the main character. What a tale.
Johnny Horton anyone?
As far as I know, the crew of the DKM Bismarck had scuttled him moments before the Royal Navy could sink him.
Shells as big as trees
I feel it shows the true nature of the soldiers, first cheering at the horrible deaths of the sailors on the Hood. Just shows the type of soldiers Germany employed
Just imagine if, by some miracle, those last defiant shells fired from Hood had actually damaged Bismark in a way that would have led to her eventual defeat. That would’ve been poetic.
I wonder how the Bismarck compared to the Japanese Yamato. Both were huge ships that ended up at the bottom of the sea.
I mean Hood was certainly one of the most powerful worships in the world but not the most powerful all of the American Colorado class ships had a heavier broadside than the battlecruiser HMS Hood the Japanese nagato’s in Hood’s lifetime had the heaviest broadside with their 16.1 inch guns and even Rodney and Nelson had a heavier broadside with their armaments so that’s not correct who is certainly was the largest and longest worship by A Fault In The Royal Navy’s inventory but by 1940 she was suffering from mechanical fatigue and was falling apart from high mileage she should have received an overhaul in a retrofit But ultimately those plans were never carried out and instead she went up against a battleship that tore apart in less than 10 minutes demonstrating for the world that the battle cruiser concept was definitely dead
Did anyone else notice what appear to be missile launchers on the quad turrets on Prince of Wales at 18:45?? Not sure what I’m looking at
