CAP, the Civil Air Patrol, also played a role in ASW. Many pilots would arm their light aircraft with improvised explosives or 'borrowed' them from the Navy. This was strictly against the rules but they wanted to contribute as much as possible.

ODE TO TOMMY BROWN. Born in the old town of North Shields, up on the great Tyne’s shore. A boy named Thomas Brown grew up, a whole lifetime before. Now Tommy was a bright young lad, he would try his hand a owt. That he would be someone someday, there really was no doubt. Far off horizons fueled his thoughts, for he knew he couldn’t stay. A life at sea was what he sought, so he signed then sail away. He lacked in years so he bent the truth, to make his wish come true. To see the world to fight the cause, and sail those oceans blue. He had found his niche in Navy life, it just suit him to a tee. A role he’d play upon the waves, out on the rolling seas. One day tho fate would play her hand, and she would again once more. But cometh the hour cometh the man, Tommy came right to the fore. A stricken U-boat, time was short, three men all brave and true. Stepped to the plate to meet with fate, as each second danger grew. They’d board the sinking submarine, and place all doubts aside. The three would overstay their leave, “It’s time to go” Tom cried! A sudden shudder focussed minds, and gripped the men with fear. All three would sink beneath the waves, only Tom would reappear. As he breached the clear blue waters, he gasped deep for precious air. Concerned was he now for his friends, but fate had claimed the pair. But the salvaged papers Tom retrieved on that momentous day. Would change the future of the world, in the most profound of ways. But in the meantime through his fame, Tom’s age was ascertained. Too young he just could not remain, despite the medals gained. He was eighteen years upon this earth, when on HMS Belfast. He would sail into his home town port, for some family time at last. When Tommy slept alone down stairs, flames licked through his abode. So he did what heroes always do, and flicked to rescue mode. Tommy saved his little sister Maureen, from those wicked flames. But in this sheer act of selflessness, the lad himself was overcame. He would never come to know just what, a difference he had made. The papers Tom took from that sub, were of the highest grade. They helped to break Enigma’s code, and countless lives were saved. To that end we owe our gratitude, for those sacrifices made. Now in the Town where Tom was lain, in the memory of his class. There's a permanent reminder in, the form of stained cut glass. And now every time that gold sun shines, Tom’s name is bathed in light They said he’d be someone someday, and by God they were right. James Bridgewood.
All human beings and auto-readers, regardless of language, should be taught to correctly pronounce "starboard" as soon as they are capable of speech. It should be the first word learned. "Mama" and "Dada" can come second. It should also be a requirement to hold a channel on RU-vid, graduate each level of education, get a job, and receive government assistance. Finally, it should be the last test to enter heaven or hell.
my great uncle s job was to go out off cape lookout and retrieve the dead ,,my mother would tell storys about going to the end of the island and watching the ships burn offshore, you could tell she was afraid as she relived it... when i first went into the fishing business the US government gave hospital insurance to crew members if your boat was signed up for this,,,
'Engrossingly' *_boring,_* and [even] with a 'captivatingly engaging' monotone delivery - the likes of which only defy description, despite with 'what[?]' communiqué transpires between MacArthur's strategic concern between Admiral 'Shoguyakimatsumishi's self-sacrificing counter-offensive deception endlessly dragging-on betwixt the 469th Naval Attachment overseeing Port Jargon-Balangoktikki-finicky ('lying somewhere' [now] beneath the depths of the vast Pacific), to the point of undermining the last of the 382nd Royal Armoured Australian Special Task-Force King's 'Jolly-Ho' Musketeers Battalion survivor's (who've thus far managed to get this far! ... ), now struggling to 'just make ends' with whatever island they may be lost within this dialogue ... And with little to go on (but _hardtack_ and expired _bully-beef_ flotsam), caring less without barely a [recognizable] map nor justifying face to recognize their own 'wits'-end' countenances with whatever _that_ may mean to contribute towards their (including, _our)_ sanity's 'sake', or 'meaning' behind their [twisted] storied 'last _hurrah'_-tales, all confusingly 'tall-taled' to the viewers' waning (but forgiving) 'interest' - 'conveniently' jumbled-in within the innumerable lost jungles of Java and sunken archipelagos of 'Jing-a-lingoo-land' lingo - *_I_* (likely along with others here, who've [only painstakingly] managed to plough-through this 'lecture') ain't got a *_goddamn clue_* (nor care anymore) of 'what in hell's going on here! ... Perhaps _'that'_ (amongst other 'illusionary apologal' accounts) then, is the 'true-story' nature of war. And _that's_ the way *_I_* goddamn-well 'see' it, _'mister!'_
The Australians defeated the Japanese on the Kokoda Track (not trail - that is the American description). There were no Americans there. And the Battle of Milne Bay was mainly fought by Australian troops and was the first land defeat of the Japanese. The Kokoda Track involved a tactical withdrawal along a treacherous track which cause the Japanese, who vastly outnumbered the Australians, to overstretch their supply lines and almost starve. Then the Australians went on the offensive. Macarthur was a micro manager who blamed the Australians for being cowardly but he failed to understand the terrain, the Australian tenacity and the strength of the Japanese from the comforts of his HQ in Brisbane. He repeated these same mistakes in the battle of the northern coastal villages of PNG where Australian troops were triumphant but just due to the meddling and lack of understanding of the battle by Macarthur. American played a huge role in the Pacific but I am over the Americans claiming all the credit and not realising the role Australia played and the huge defeats inflicted on the Japanese by the Australians in PNG.
One Million Pounds!!!! Oh wait, it's 453 tonnes, which is reasonable for naval artillery of this size. Using such units makes you sound very unprofessional. Just my two eurocents.
Bull Halsey fell for it. He was in a good defensive position with his carriers and his battle ships. Halsey went after empty carriers and left the soldiers on land open to attack. He should have been stripped of his command and sent home. We got lucky.
You talk on and on about troop movements to this place and that place while showing a submarine, planes or ship on fire, etc. Maps. I had to look up a map to follow what movements you were talking about. In retrospect, I could just watch another channel that shows the maps instead of BW footage of subs, ships, fires, etc. Best of luck.
It must have really sucked, to be on a packed transport ship being attacked by waves of allied bombers and heavy fighters. If the troops were "lucky", and made it New Guinea, they faced combat in an awful tropical shithole.
It was even worse to be a POW packed into a transport and then sunk by an Allied submarine, as sadly many Jap transports were. I guess my Dad was lucky in that he was transported from Singapore to Formosa (now Taiwan) early in the war, before the Allied subs started their successful campaign.
Thank you for puncturing the fake facade often used to sell military prowess .......... Note: whenever they lavish medals .... it's usually to cover up a "screw up" - As true today as it was then.
Who writes this stuff? 17.47 "By the third of March, as the convoy neared Milne Bay, at Papua's south-eastern extremity". What next - did they pass by Brisbane and Sydney? In reality, Milne Bay was 500km away from the convoy and nowhere near it's intended path. Your lack of decent maps and other annotation in your videos creates a problem, as neither your audience, nor apparently you, have a clear picture as to what's going on. It's all just words.
Get rid of the Critical History junk from the middle of the screen and I may watch more of your videos. I got tired this one and disengaged at about four minutes.
