Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into another legendary Fat Electrician video, this time going over Operation Praying Mantis. I took Military History as an elective in High School as well as loving history in general, I absolutely missed the events of this operation and I'm incredibly glad that The Fat Electrician was able to explain it in such an informative and fun capacity. This was nothing short of a stellar video! Please remember that this is a look into events from a purely historical and apolitical stance. If you enjoyed the video as much as I did then I absolutely recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material!

Probably also worth mentioning that Samuel B. Roberts had some weight attached to her name. For those who don't know, the first USS Samuel B. Roberts was a Destroyer Escort that was sunk in the Battle off Samar in WWII and was called "The Destroyer Escort That Fought Like A Battleship". Absolutely hopeless situation where a small landing support/submarine patrol unit wound up staring down what was left of Japan's heavy hitters sans their carriers (which still outnumbered them by nearly twice as much). Said battle ended with the Japanese retreating north and mostly failing in their original objective of shelling the hell out of American landing forces. Samuel B. joined the three Destroyers in charging at the enemy to make torpedo runs, despite being smaller, slower, and lighter armed. She got into a slugfest with the Chikuma that left the larger ship maimed and on fire.

The “Joke” with USS Enterprise (CVN 65) is that she is the worlds first nuclear powered carrier, and she inherited the name of Enterprise from CV6. In WW2 USS Enterprise (CV6) was the most decorated US ship, participating in nearly every major conflict. So it had several nicknames such as the “Big E” and “Grey Ghost”. So E=mc^2 is both in reference to the “Big E” and an impressive scientific mind, which is very fitting for the first nuclear powered carrier. Though sadly Enterprise (CV6) was scrapped after the war much to the dismay of several people in the Navy, so it never became a museum ship. However the name of Enterprise lives on both in the navy as well as being referenced in different media such as Star Trek.

@Good20win11 Год назад

A lot of people wanted her to be a museum. However, there was issues in trying to gather the funds to do it. Battleship New Jersey museum (they have an active RU-vid channel), put out a video explaining the process of museum ships. I may not be 100% accurate, but to summarize what I remember: Essentially, the US museum ships were bought from the Navy to become museums, additionally they don’t provide any funding to maintain said museums. So all funding comes via a crowd funded organization or a given state. Additionally they had to prove they could meet requirements in maintaining the vessel among other things. Ultimately this meant that if no one could meet all the requirements to get a given ship, then the ship would eventually meet the scrappers.

Silkworm Missiles were land-based missiles that were developed by China and sold to just about everyone on that side of the planet who were in any way shape or form aligned with their ideals and opposed American ideals. The original range of these weapons was estimated at 50 miles but they could in fact reach targets 62 miles away as demonstrated in the Iran-Iraq War when Iran launched several of these missiles. These missiles were launched from the Faw Peninsula and struck the Liberian tanker 'Sungari', the American tanker 'Sea Isle City', and the Kuwaiti Sea Island offshore oil terminal. This attack also prompted Kuwait to set a MIM-23 HAWK (Homing All the Way Killer) missile system purchased from the US in the area to prevent any more such missile attacks. Keep in mind that America is VERY protective of its ships. Praying Mantis was the result of 1 being crippled. Could you imagine if any ships of this force got sunk as a result of these Iranian-fired, Made in China, land-launched missiles?

The Sammuel B Roberts in this instance is the third ship with the name. The first ship, an escort destroyer in ww2, gained legendary status when it was sunk while helping fend off a massive Japanese fleet in The Battle off Samar. I won’t go into what happened or we would have multiple paragraphs from me gushing about it. Would suggest looking on youtube for many good videos on said battle or wikipedia.

@launcesmechanist9578 Год назад

To paraphrase: The Sammie B was one of the Destroyers of Taffy 3 that held off the entire Japanese Navy. These tin cans armed with torpedoes and 5in guns basically stopped the Japanese Navy from steamrolling through and inflicting heavy losses upon US forces landing in the area.

@Eatmydbzballs Год назад

This is all anyone needs to know: The American Surface Task Force (Taffy 3) combined massed less than the single largest ship in the Japanese Fleet, you think the only battle Yamato was in were she actually got to shoot at something more than planes would be more famous, and Taffy 3's slowest ships were slower than the Japanese ships so the confrontation was inevitable. The 3 full-size fleet destroyers turned around and proceeded to launch torpedo and gun attacks on the Japanese Fleet. The Samuel B. Roberts was a Destroyer Escort, classified as a Corvette to the English, and decided it wanted a go at the approaching Battleships as well... All four destroyers would sink, but succeed in keeping the Carriers they were escorting alive- Until the first Kamakazi's of the War slammed into them and caused several of the remaining ships to sink. *Seriously, why isn't this battle more known?!?*

From what i´ve read, Silkworm missiles were Chinese, who developed them from another Soviet rocket.

@chrismaverick9828 Год назад

'Flight of the Intruder" was a good film. The novel is a lot better, of course, and worth your time to read. Attack pilots back then were arguably more skilled than their fighter pilot nemesis. The A-6A was state of the art on the front line, but was plagued by a few technical problems that were being fixed, but the classified nature of the newer computer and INS in the A-6E meant the government wasn't willing to put them in Vietnam for fear of one being shot down and examined by the Soviets. Bombing back then was either using the radar and computer to continuously calculate a release point (CCRP), or via the old-skool way of memorizing your speed/altitude/mils bomb fall chart and dropping visually with the bomb sight. Not an easy thing when under fire.

@chrismaverick9828 Год назад

The US Navy learned the hard way how to manage damage. The salvage divers and dry dock workers at Pearl Harbor gave detailed reports of the damage the various ships sustained that gave insight into how to build ships to manage damage. The losses of Lexington and Yorktown both contributed greatly to the information, including one 'lowly' sailor's idea to purge the fuel filling lines to the flight deck with nitrogen to prevent fumes from building up and becoming an explosion hazard when not in use. The mass of ideas and processes that came about from hard warfare changed the way ships were built and crewed. Many ships that should have sunk were saved and managed to get back to base because of the lessons learned. The Navy maintains this standard to this day, something the USS Connecticut proved when mismanagement at the senior levels resulted in the sub slamming into a seamount at high speed. The initial damage was bad enough, but a fire in the electrical room threatened the safety of the ship and it was the training and fast thinking of the crew that saved it.

@collinwood6573 9 месяцев назад

⁠@@Adplusamequalsadamit’s a random mix really. Naval artillery is imperial but naval AA is metric. Tank guns are metric but often coincide with exact imperial measurements, the Sherman’s famous 76.2mm AT gun is exactly 3 inches. Land artillery is mostly metric. Small arms vary wildly and multiple weapon systems chambered in the same calibers can be referred to with either metric or imperial.

@Adplusamequalsadam 9 месяцев назад

@@collinwood6573 I know it’s mixed I was just pointing out we do use inches too. I imagine if a caliber is shared by NATO it will be metric. We all use the same ammo for a lot of things.

If a carrier / carrier strike group parks nearby, the question shouldn't be "why are they holding back?" The question should be "where are its friends?" Cause a carrier and its escorts stopping short of entering a region usually means something else is prowling the region, and if you dont already where they are, good chance they already have you lit like a Christmas tree and are just waiting for a reason

Kip: using the word casualty was the correct term there. casualty can reffer to injury or death for military personell. thats why casualty numbers are a so hard to interprete and there are more clear abreviations to claerly identify casualties: WIA, KIA and DOW. wounded in action, killed in action and died of wounds. yes the last two seem similar but KIA means they died directly in the field during the opperation. DOW on the other hand means the wounded person reached a medical facility and then died there to the wounds the person recieved
