America Obliterates Half Of Iran's Navy In 8 Hours! by The Fat Electrician - Reaction 

oh. damn didn't expect you to be here. cool!

Dude, the Bat Bomb still makes me wonder why we aren't on Mars.

Bro you desribe grunts better than I can, and I am one. @TheFatElectrician Bravo, sir

​​@@OldManReactssimple because mars has no oil that we know of, and the Marshins have "requested" freedom yet. Also there aren't any crans on Mars

God damn he's here, love the work you do man it's amazing

America: *Making boat motor noises and proceeding to play in the water some more*

getting : he burnt my patch vibes

😂 now that is some dark humor that I can appreciate.

Yoooo I actually get that joke

To quote habitual linecrosser "don't touch my shit!"

Japan: "Why are you bitching? They went easy on you."

U.S. Navy: We have altered the bargain, pray we do not alter it any further.

@@VespoLiveGaming To be fair Japan did more damage with their strike sinking Battleships, A minelayer, 2 Destroyers where Iran only temporarily removed a frigate from service. This was sort of Proportional.

Thr Ghost of Barbary Pirates: dont do it a 2nd time. You won't even be in history books.

That was a fantastic comment!!

Gentlemen, it is my sincere hope that you fondly look back upon this day as the day that you almost captured Uncle Sam.

I mean.... Even if the do th US will just tell them to fuck off and they'll have no way to enforce it

This makes the International Court sound like a Scooby-Doo villain 😂😂

@@baddbabylon ICC: "and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for your meddling rule lawyers"

I love that there's an alternate universe out there where in the waning days of the cold war, Iran pissed of America, accidentally fired on that random Soviet destroyer, and the 2 superpowers proceeded to pummel Iran back into the stone age. Frankly I'm annoyed I live in this timeline.

@@I_Stole_A_BTR-80would that might have led to peace talks sooner?

​@I_Stole_A_BTR-80 American firepower and Russian lack of fuck-giving for human life? Sounds like a marvelous combination.😂

@@I_Stole_A_BTR-80just the Stone Age? I don’t think there would be visible land left just water and oil

@@I_Stole_A_BTR-80 Nah they would have turned the whole Country to glass.

American damage control teams seem to have that as a theme. WWII has several instances of "ship should have sunk, but managed to limp home anyway" or that one time the Japanese though they'd sunk two aircraft carriers when in fact it was the same ship twice because the crew had managed to get her moving again after the first "fatal" blow.

USS Yortown enters chat alongside USS Enterprise: hello there. we still here@@RipOffProductionsLLC

The Samuel B. Roberts is actually named after the Samuel B. Roberts of Taffy 3 fame. The destroyer escort that disabled a Japanese battleship!

Look up the Fat Electricians video about the US capturing the German sub U-505 in WWII. The sub was sinking, the Germans abandoned it and the US sent over 8 men and was able to stop the sub sinking, Capture it and it's now at the Museum of Science and industry in Chicago.

My best guess as to why that keeps happening is that politicians tend to be disconnected to the rest of the world.

The thing is...they didn't even sink the fucking boat....this "Proportional" response was in response to damaging it, it wasn't destroyed and no-one died. IMAGINE what the response would've been if that boat and everyone on it went down.

@@chazo1367 Ask anyone who survied Desert Storm what the response would have been

@@Aragon1500 Wasn't that the one where America made a new bomb from a howitzer barrel that could penetrate the earth so deep that bunkers don't matter and Saddam surrendered?

​@@chazo1367No need to imagine, just look at Imperial Japan.

The ship was powered by its furious seamen.

To boat?

The guy who helped perpetuate the crisis because he told them not to negotiate with Carter, and this is actual fucking documented fact.

Dude. They sent back the hostages THE DAY OF REAGAN’S INAUGURATION!!! “We enjoyed smacking Carter around. But THIS guy… No no no no… NO! We want NO part of HIM!!!” 😂😂

@@logandarklighter Again, we literal-fucking-ly have the goddamn reciepts that that is because Reagan cut a fucking deal behind Carter's back to prevent the hostage release while Carter was in the presidency. He was a fucking seditious traitor.

@@logandarklighter Carter's admin actually negotiated the return of the hostages, but the other guy decided to snub Carter and delay the release until after Reagan got in.

@@logandarklighter Jimmy Carter was a great guy who did fantastic charity work, but he was *way* too nice to be president. Reagan may have fallen asleep during cabinet meetings, but he got the job *done.* Wish I'd been more cognizant during his administration, but I was only born two years into his first term. Spent my teens under the *Clinton* administration. That was *fun.*

i think they look for the meansest and toughest SoBs to serve on every USS Enterprise. i mena that is a big name to uphold after WW2 and the Enterprise literally going of alone against the whole IJN in terms of usable carriers.

@@raikbarczynski6582 hell the enterprise made name for herself during the war we had with ottoman's in the 1790s then in WW2 she really made name for herself as an aircraft carrier

Didn't help that she had a bunch of brand new intruders with "main character syndrome".

@@rsrt6910 and F-14s

I’m so glad the tradition continues with “there must always be a ship called Enterprise”

in my personal opinion: Pissed Enterprise = opened Pandora's Box So like you said The Grey Ghost is not a lady to mess with.

The fact the original Enterprise wasn't preserved as a meusum ship and was instead sold for scrap is a tragedy.

@RipOffProductionsLLC I agree totally about the scrapping of CVN-6. But while that carrier was the start of the "Grey Ghost" nickname that they carriers have had, it wasn't the original "USS Enterprise". The US has had a ship named Enterprise since 1775, when the British Sloop "George" was captured in a raid and renamed

​@@RipOffProductionsLLCnah, that was a _fucking mercy._

Good point; that is also a proportion.

It can be extended if they have the extra fuel tanks added onto it. So it depends on what payload the F-4 is rocking

Was there july 87 to jan 88. I don't know, can't remember. If we did, spent it in the P.I.

Ah the Moskva, a cautionary tale of what happens when you skip out on maintenance and damage control training. A deadly combo.

@@elchjol2777 The deadliest of combos. "SHOIGU!!! GARASIMOV!!! WHERES THE FUCKING AIR DEFENSE!!!"

​@boydrobertson2362 "vhat is defensible about zhe air een hhere?"

And also the reason why mk48 torpedoes are designed to snap the keel of a ship, instead of trying to make a big hole under the waterline like older torpedoes

@@mostlytrue3150 yes vary much. And makes the ship sink faster because being in alf let's in more water anyway.

Query: da fuk?

​@@Azorees-oj5zrWho let HK-47 in here?

And remember how "proportional" the Wisconsin is.

ngl you have a point there

Well, he was in the navy himself, so "lesser" but nonetheless proud moments in naval history are likely to be talked about.

We invented the phrase "No kill like overkill." 🤣

"GO BIG or GO HOME!"

That one was really good! Too be fair… I find all of them extremely entertaining 😂

Traumatize an island, you get fucked with the sun. Twice. You fuck up a boat, you lose half your navy. Yup, that sounds like the US military in proportions. Doesn't help that the United States has the biggest case of Tony Stark Syndrome ever. If you watch "WW2 in Space" (it's a fantastic documentary, we watched it in highschool, highly recommend it,) one of the things you'll find out is that in Pearl Harbor, they damaged a lot of shit and traumatized a lot of the service members and civilians obviously, but they didn't actually cripple shit like they wanted. The plan was to take the United States out of the equation for the Pacific. They failed, and miserably at that. One or two bombs would have blown up the massive fuel stock at Pearl Harbor for the Navy, in a massive fireball of horror, and they missed it. None of the pilots touched the fuel tanks. They also missed all of our massive carriers because they were all out on patrol in the Pacific at the time instead of being parked at home, because they were specifically trying to AVOID them so they wouldn't be caught arriving to Pearl Harbor, so when air control became important later on, we had 4 aircraft carriers that Japan didn't account for, and we were already making more shit when they were rapidly bleeding manufacturing speed as they continued to lose the war effort. And then because the fuel was still intact, while all of our initial ships were destroyed, as the ships at sea returned and the new ones arrived, they were able to be fueled out of Hawaii instead of needing to return to mainland, giving them the exact headstart into the Pacific that Japan was specifically trying to avoid. If you take a swing at the States, you better not miss, because you better believe that the "always learns from mistakes" applies here. While we also improve at punching *_ourselves_* in the face, we are great at getting hit with a random dodgeball and choosing to absolutely evaporate whoever accidentally threw it at us. -🫱🏿‍🫲🏻/🍻
