"All hands standby to repel boarders" That order hadnt been heard in the US Navy since the war of 1812. Trust a plucky little Tin Can to find herself fighting like a ship of the line in the age of sail.
Well her crew outnumbered the u-boot several times. But on a more serious note, I read about fighting to end with their guns but never heard about trying to board a enemy destroyer 😮
@@gehtdichnixan3200 do you really think that either side of this fight stopped and took the time to count all of their guys and the enemy guys to figure out who had more men?
Everyone is talking about the animation getting better and better, yes, and also the script writers are on fire with the characters' dialogue. I'm enjoying every second of the vid.
All that really needs to be improved is the way the character’s mouths move. Though I understand it’s incredibly hard to get that looking good, especially when you’re going for such a realistic style.
NO, it was not over. No over here. They could easily surrender any time... saving their lives as well as the sorrow of their close ones. They could ofc sinken their u-boat as well so it would not fall in to enemy hands. Instead, they opened fire to attack, willing to try to kill everyone on the destroyer.
Because dreadnought is one of, if not the most important ships in history. It had a huge role in starting ww1, Yet the only thing it ever did was ram a sub
@@CueBeanKa He could've felt guilt for killing the remaining crew, launching depth charges as a team versus single handedly taking over a dozen lives must feel very different.
@@wackyotter1235 a single hand grenade to a sub sitting on the surface isn't going to do much to actually sink the sub. The American ship firing on it, and ramming it, followed by the eventual reverse to unplug any hole to the hull, is likely the death blow to the submarine.
@@albertabirdman some details were left out of the video, I am pretty acquainted with the encounter. The ramming punctured the fuel resulting in vapors permeating around the interior. By the time the grenade was thrown down the hatch, most of the sub was filled with gas vapor. Witnesses described the frag grenades explosion resulting in a significant fireball, something you wouldn’t see from a frag. Though the ship was doomed, the frag grenade did do it in. Another detail missed was 5 Germans getting taken as POW’s on the bow by a lone US sailor with a hammer
Honestly I'd rather fight boarders with guns than the fucking sword battles they had during the height of piracy. Sure, they had muskets and bombs, but when those were shot and detonated, it was big knives, swords and harpoons against you. Being shot is quite a quick death usually. But being cut into pieces, woah, that instills the fear of a million men in me. I'd rather get shot.
Ah they thought about the classic boarding tactic and the destroyer captain though about another old order. A submarine crew fist fight with a destroyer crew.😎
Okay i thought the animation couldn’t get better than some of the last videos but this is literal animated movie quality… Yarnhub team, thank you for sharing these stories over the years, I’ll continue to follow this channel for the years to come!
Sounds a lot like the movie 'The Enemy Below'. The Enemy Below is a 1957 American war film directed by Dick Powell, starring Robert Mitchum and Curt Jürgens. The movie is set during World War II and follows a cat-and-mouse game between the captains of an American destroyer and a German U-boat.
Missing one key detail 'The Buckley backed off, but the submarine pursued, striking the Buckley on the starboard side at the engine room. The collision also broke the ship's starboard propeller shaft' After this was when Grenades were thrown.
Man, I was holding my breath when they fired the last torpedo! It's amazing what desperation for your life will make you capable of doing. They went down with a hell of a fight. Another epic episode. Thank you Yarnhub.👍🍻😁🇦🇺
Watching this, after rewatching Cologne Tank-duel earlier, i could proudly say that my Fave channel has grown and improved to the best it could be. Couldn't be any better.
Yarnhub just a suggestion: An idea for later ship video maybe you could do one on the German battleship Scharnhorst and it's fate. I am a massive fan of your ship videos. BTW Very excited for new video
You improved so amazingly well over time. Both in animation, as well as the dubbing of the non-Eglish conversations. The only teeny tiny thing I would have to nitpick there is at 1:32 , where one sailor calls his Captain 'Sir'. As a German Sailor he probably would not have used the English designation there. But that is pretty much the only thing I could count as an 'error'.
Could you make a video of the first guided missile ships in history? Counting who created them, their hit rate effective range first countries to create their own missile ships etc?
the production quality for this video is just top notch, what the hell that suspenseful dread as the ship tries to ram the submarine and the "mein Gott" before the grenade explosion. wow.. just wow
List of U-66 Crew who died that night: Gerhard Seehausen (Commander) Heinrich Dreyer Helmut Ehrlichmann Günther Friedrich Peter Geisen Heinz Gutzmann Willi Hansen Rudolf Jahn Karl-Heinz Jeuschede Werner Lindner Herbert Mayer August Mindenberger Werner Reinfeld Reinhold Reisenbeck Alfred Ronge Gerhard Scholz Willibald Scholz Günter Schönknecht Walter Schubert Rudolf Steinhilber Günter Stotmeister Albert Stumpp Heinz Sündemann Helmut Weissbach
German uboat commanders never gaved orders "feur" but "los", because when launching torpedo there is no fire (feur) but it is released with pressed air.
Idea for Yarnhub: In 1940, during Operation Weserübung, Heavy Cruiser of the Kriegsmarine, Bluecher. Was sunk at the Drøbak Sound by very outdated Norweigan defenses. It would fit with covering the topics of forgotten naval stories
Yarnhub, you should make an animation documentary of the Jervis Bay which was a cruise liner conversion to a warship in desperation of the British fleet. On an escort mission to protect multiple merchant ships, it was attacked by Admiral Graf Spee and immediately signaled the other merchant ships to scatter and combated the Scheer with only having a similar displacement of 15,000 tons however being completely outclassed with the Spee having 11 compared to the Jervis Bay's 6 inch guns. She charged their opponent holding them off long enough sacrificing it's self letting many of the escorted ships to flee in time.
Wow I remember back when this was a much smaller channel.. These animations have really leveled up. Incredible video, animation, and I also appreciate the telling of a "lesser known war story," it's great hearing these new to me stories. Thanks a ton Yarnhub, and keep up the great work.
There was also a submarine named PNS Ghazi ( one of the most advanced at that time) of Pakistan which was distroyed by INS Rajput Indian Navy destroyer in 1971 ❤❤
Yarn hub is just him can’t complain tbh I would prefer watching him over like idk simple history because of how good his graphics are like bro is just built different he is him he is the man the myth the legend
Sweeeeeeeeet can't wait to see it thank you for taking us on your adventures through time and history GOD-BLESS brother and hello from romulus Michigan USA
Wow I’m an amateur uboat enthusiast (silent hunter is great and so is uboat) yet never heard of this. Crazy stuff hats off to the German crew they certainly fought a good fight
I'm always amazed at how the Yarnhub crew can get me so invested in the humans involved in these conflicts that I find myself rooting for all parties involved, regardless of what flag they fought under.
The timing is perfect, restarted playing WoWs got the Bismarck now grinding for Yamato, watched a video about submarine evolution like a few hours ago where they mentioned the first important subs ever made from the Turtle to the USS Pennsylvania. Now you post this :) (I am a lot into aviation but navy is cool too and it's a bit funny how it all timed perfectly when I wanted some navy content)
I'm guessing that the bigger submarine was a Milchcow supply sub- at this stage of WW2 - The gaps in the oceans were narrowing down. The clue was in the story. That sub was caught and sunk!
