a lady that survived said it was Nearer My God To Thee. it was played in all the movies. A Night To Remember, and James Cameron's Titanic r 2 examples. I've seen almost every documentary. never seen this series.
@@alexandraduffy5281 I have a Bachelors degree, am nearly done with a masters, as well three years of various study in different parts of the country. I have also worked within a maritime archive. Sometimes I make those comments to make it easier for people to understand. If I talk about some obscure document, it makes it more difficult for my watchers to make the connection. Also, these are reaction videos! I’m not lecturing anyone with something totally new (although I might start doing that). These videos are supposed to be fun and entertaining, not boring people to death. If I spot something that is inaccurate, I say something. But I’m not about to crucify the writers for it.
Thresher had flooding in the auxiliary machinery space. Lost the reactor, all electrical. They made it up to 300 feet then went back down. Hull collapsed at 2540 ft. I served on the 634 and 590.
salute for hood she was the best battleship and nice she never be forgotten some of britain battleship hms rodney and king george v are take revenge for
I made a mistake. Hydraulics were present (I dismissed them entirely) on Titanic but they were not the kind we think of today, nor were they as powerful.
25:50 M/S Carolinan was the first all-welded ship to be built in the United States in 1930. Nevertheless, most commercial ships continued to be built using rivets well into the 1940s. During WW2, warships begun to be built using welding. The commercial sector needed extra time to catch up. SS France was one of the first large passenger ships to be welded.
38:00 Yes I am aware that Olympic did hit 25 knots when she made her dash to Titanic's aid the night of the sinking. However it was not for long and like Carpathia, she only achieved it by directing every ounce of heat into the engines.
I can't stand the Canadian. But, that neither here nor there,... I THINK THEY FOUND HER IN THE BAHAMAS, SUNK....that's the only thing that's of any concern, here. A Stanley Park 3rd Beach Rockartist...
"Ahead of its time"? You mean with an outdated incremental armour scheme that saw it converted into a floating target in 20 minutes on 27th May, needlessly duplicated secondary armaments, Dual gunned turrets when all other modern battleships were fielding triple and quadruple gunned turrets, and triple screw propulsion that saw 33% of its SHP useless for steering by propulsion alone?
The Ship had relatively decent armor. What she was most vulnerable to was plunging fire which coincidently was what killed her. Not to mention at the time Bismarck had the biggest guns in European waters.
@HMS Hood 15 inch guns were common since 1916 amongst british and german ships. As the Hood was built as a battle cruiser, her armor was not strong enough. Like at the Jutland Battle, the battle cruisers could not stand the impact of 13, 14 let alone 15 inch shells.
@@wilfriedschuler3796 yeah I had heard the battle of Jutland really had the navy step back and rethink armor scheme. However I also did read that the Royal Navy was trying to refit their ships with better armor. The Hood was suppose to be one of those ships but since war broke out she didn’t get a refit. Unfortunately In the end the hood would succumb to its ultimate weakness. Weak deck armor
As Ted Briggs said “She was a wonderful, beautiful, proud ship but unfortunately with a glass jaw.” Battlecruisers we’re designed to destroy anything below their weight class and run from anything above that. Bismarck was definitely above. Hood never should have engaged her.
@@fionawimber1028 you have a good point. Battle cruiser did have the speed to outrun anything that might outgun them. But I guess British Admiralty just really wanted Bismarck sunk so desperately that they sent out every available ship to intercept. Unfortunately for them it would cost them their most beloved ship in the Royal Navy. But at the very least the Hoods sacrifice wasn’t in Vein and now the Bismarck also sits at the bottom of the sea.
@@HMSHyde02 they were desperate and hopelessly out of position to deal with Bismarck before she hit the Atlantic. I understand why they sent Hood out but it was still a really stupid decision.
And then because all the smallboys were sunk, there was no rescue of their crew..as normally destroyers would do the rescue... Two days later someone realised that they should send ships to fetch the survivors from sunk ships
also in the melee was the USS Samuel B Roberts (DE-413) the Destroyer Escort that fought like a Battleship and was one of the ships sunk along with the Fletcher Class Destroyers USS Hoel (DD-533) USS Heermann(DD-532) the USS Johnston (DD-537). along with Casablanca Class Escort Carrier USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73). of these ships only the Heermann remained afloat. The main wreckage of the USS Johnston was found in a trench east of Samar Island at a depth of 21,180 feet
