Wow! I served aboard a destroyer during Vietnam, but never faced this kind of threat. My dad served on a destroyer in World War 2, and his ship was severely damaged by a direct kamikaze hit at Okinawa. A bunch of his shipmates died. My dad had third degree burns on half his body. He was a Gunner's Mate manning a 40 mm antiaircraft mount, and was shooting at the Japanese plane as it came in low. He could see the pilot's face, and said he was smiling as he crashed into the ship. He never forgot that creepy smile on the suicide pilot's face for the rest of his life. He said it would frequently haunt his dreams at night.
@dpeasehead
@dpeasehead 4 года назад
Some the most hazardous combat duty in the closing months of WWII was being a member of the crew of a US Navy destroyer on the picket line between Okinawa and the Japanese planes coming down from the home islands to get at the fleet which was held stationary in a relatively small patch of ocean by the need to support the Marines and the Army for months. During the war, the effectiveness of the Kamikaze was deliberately downplayed to protect the sailors and because, although they didn't sink any large capital ships they did a great deal of damage to many vessels, including to several fleet carriers. I think a great film could be made about the destroyers on the picket line.

@dpeasehead

@@RLJmusic4life That smiling pilot may already have been dead. One of the problems of dealing with kamikazes was that even the lightly constructed Japanese aircraft were surprisingly resistant to hits from 20mm and 40mm. Again and again planes which were literally shredded by AA guns and obviously on the verge of disintegrating kept coming on carried by momentum and guided by pilots who were not concerned about making it back home. If they didn't burn, they had to literally be blown apart in order to stop them. It's hard for those of us who weren't there to fathom the psychological effect the kamikazes had on tired and stressed crews who spent hours at general quarters for days on end.

This battle would have been a lot different if the USS Keeling had hedgehogs. Those things were more devastating to a U-Boat than depth charges.
@Michael-dy2lb
@Michael-dy2lb Год назад
Well, only because they launch out the front and sides of the destroyer and don't have to wait until it goes over them. In this case, the destroyer knew exactly where the submarine was, so the sonar advantage of a hedgehog was irrelevant. It only allowed it to engage earlier. And the submarine was already under fire from 40mm and 5-inch guns. But yes, in most situations, a hedgehog was big improvement on the standard depth charge.
@richardcline1337
@richardcline1337 11 месяцев назад
@@Michael-dy2lb The one major difference is that with hedgehogs you KNEW you'd gotten a kill because they wouldn't detonate until they hit a sub's hull whereas depth charges went off when they reached their assigned depth whether the sub was hit or not. If you saw a huge fountain of water after launching hedgehogs you could be quite certain that the sub and it's 50 man crew (plus or minus a few) was on it's way to the bottom.
@Michael-dy2lb

As a former Surface Warfare Officer (qualified SWO), I was impressed with how accurate the commands of the captain were, along with the replies from the ship's crew. The movie writers clearly did their research. I've literally never heard "meet her" in a movie, despite the fact that it's used all the time during real-life high-speed maneuvers. It's similar to issuing the order "stead as she goes" but giving the helmsman the latitude to use hard opposite rudder to get on the ordered course as quickly as possible, including putting the rudder on the stops if necessary. It's actually a pretty dangerous order to give, as you essentially yield control of the rudder entirely to the judgment of the helmsman, which means you need one who knows what they are doing.
@girl1213
@girl1213 2 года назад
As I understand it, they really wanted to give as much accuracy as possible. This is because the book "The Good Shepard" by CS Forester, which the film is adapted from, was a retelling of how it was to be part of the Battle of Atlantic. There was no sugar-coating or added drama there, just a very factual piece of nautical fiction. This included all the little details like how commands are issued and why you need to trust your crew to know what they're doing. As a civilian, it really helped me understand a lot of things about a ship is run as much as it gave me historical information. It's a very accurate of what could be a first-hand account of what a first-time wartime mission is like, even for a seasoned captain. I'm glad to know the movie is doing a remarkable job at doing the same.

About 1:30AM the Gwin was hit in the forward engine room by a "Long Lance" torpedo, killing all in that location in a huge fireball. Dad's cruising station was the forward engine room but when the shooting started, his battle station was the Number 2 Gun so his life was spared.

@@fredguitarman3536 absolutely true. The North Atlantic is normally rough seas. Especially between sept through april. It's winter, very cold, windy, rough heavy seas, waves are easily 35 feet from top to bottom. In heavy seas, the waves get as high as 50 feet. No kidding. The ship is forever listing left/right, and there is also rocking front to back. When walking down passage ways you're banging into the bulkheads (walls). no hot meals, and going to the bathroom is a major challenge. Have I mentioned sea sickness. It takes effort when opening a hatch (door) as air rushes in. So you must be careful to watch your hands so they are not on the edge of the hatch - the sucking in pressure of air from outside -> in, can cause hatches to slam and you could lose fingers. Also everything is metal. So very cold and slippery on the outside and metal won't give when you slam into it. This all of the normal stuff. When you're outside the skin of the ship on the main deck, you must hold onto to the steel cable rails or metal railings, or you could get swept overboard. And the metal railings were always wet and slippery. In winter - covered with ice as is the deck. Have I mentioned the cold and the wind? It goes right through you - soaked and cold. I'm not even going to discuss going north of Iceland. I have sailed up the coast of Greenland and sailed around the northern tip of Norway. Well north of the Arctic Circle. -40 degrees every day. In September, the sun was on the horizon all day. Quite an experience. Also saw the Aurora Borealis. Frigate, destroyer, and cruiser crews are a tough hardened bunch. US Navy 1983-90.

I wish my grandfather was still alive (he passed in 2005) so he could have seen this movie. He was a Fire Controlman on the USS Flaherty - a destroyer escort in the North Atlantic in WWII and part of a Hunter/Killer Task Group that went after U-Boats. His ship was there when U-505 was forced to the surface and captured off of Africa in June of 1944 and his destroyer was responsible for sinking U-546 almost a year later (revenge after U-546 sunk USS Frederick C. Davis, killing 115 of her crew). I still have his U.S. Navy issued gaiters with his last name and "1943" (the year he entered the service) stamped on them. He would have loved this movie, though knowing him, he probably would have pointed out any and all inaccuracies. I'm 38 now, but I can still remember him and I watching Das Boot together as a kid on a number of occasions - that was his favorite movie. I think he would have really liked this one!

First of all, here's to granddads like yours who pick out the glaring errors in Hollywood movies. ;) My dad was in the US Navy in the early 1950s during the Cold War on an ASW carrier in the Atlantic, doing his part and getting valuable education, life experience and the GI Bill, which enabled him to get his bachelor's of electrical engineering degree and a year of grad school. While visiting family on Chicago's north side in the early 1970s, he took mom, my sister and me to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, where we saw the movie about how U-505 was captured and walked through the sub. . "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing." Too many people take freedom from tyranny for granted, not appreciating and valuing the efforts and sacrifices of many, many people throughout history to protect others from murder and exploitation. Salute to your grandfather.

My grandfather was in the Navy, in the Pacific theatre. His ship took part in 11 invasions, including Guadalcanal & Okinawa. In a huge Irish Catholic family (he had 9 children) I’m the only one he EVER spoke a single syllable to about the war. In the last few months of his life. He was such an old softie late in life; couldn’t have loved his grand & great grandkids more. But that was the only time I ever saw a tear in his eye not at a funeral. Telling me about the heros he served with. That fought and died side by side, for you & I. And I tell you this: that man loved those boys on his boat in a way I know i could never never truly understand what that is. He and his friends would instantly lay down their very lives for one another or for the success of the mission in a split second, without a tiny flicker of thought or calculation. And did. Every single day of that war from Dec.7 ‘41 to Aug ‘45. And I may never know brotherhood like that in my life. But I do absolutely know this: those boys, goin halfway across the world to defeat fascism and save the world....they were mostly just kids, 18,19, 20 (my grampy was 21). And these young boys-quickly-turned-men were more noble, principled, and honorable, and had more courage and unflinching bravery, sense of duty & sacrifice to the greater good, and faithfulness to one another than I believe almost anyone else alive today can even imagine. They truly WERE the Greatest Generation ever. We owe them everything. Especially the heros who paid the ultimate price for OUR freedom, and for so many of us, our very lives-as my grandpa taught me, many of our relatives only made it home because of their unimaginable courage. And that is the actual real TRUTH, not a nice sounding cliche. These young men who showed the world what it truly meant to be absolutely unshakable in the face of unspeakable terrors, to fight for REAL righteous ideals of truth, honor, and the freedom of their friends, family, country, and the world. No better men ever lived. May those not here be in a place now they deserve. Those men and women of true character, virtue and integrity, cut from the greatest cloth people have ever been born of, who saved the world through their grit, determination, and absolute, ironclad unwillingness to do anything but what was right. If you have a chance to still talk with a WWII vet-you better take that treasure while you barely still can. Whatever it is. And savor it forever. Tell them you know how in debt you are to them. My god bless them all.

If you look in the records, it was not un-common for a U-boat to sink an escort. Rare, but not un-common. Though full modern (back then) DDs as greyhound would barely have been seen at close escort duties in early 1942. That was a job for ASW trawlers, corvettes and older/obsolete DDs. The latter often having some boilers, guns and torpedo tubes removed for more fuel and depth charges. I have more problems with an unexperienced US-DD leading a concoy in early 1942. That was an all-out British/Canadian job. The troop transport also doesn't fit in. These were done in their own special convoys, usually by fast passenger liners, which could out-run the U-boats. But the movie was good, all incorrect details aside.

Don't need to imagine it. While ship to ship combat is far less intense in modern times all naval and Marines when out to sea are stuck in the middle of an ocean on a floating bomb. Even Amphibious assault ships with so few armaments, have 10's of thousands of gallons of various fuels, weapon lockers, ammo for various weapons, weapons/lockers for the Marines and their equipment and, I am not sure about other ships but, I know mine had 7.5 tons of C-4 on it. Not even considering Nuc capable ships and even ships with Nuc reactors.

@@brandonlevy8680 A good example of that was the IJN Taiho. It was hit with just one torpedo from the U.S. Navy submarine USS Albacore but when an engineer flipped a switch the ventilate the ship, those gas fumes from the damaged gasoline stores ripped the carrier apart and then the magazines blew and literally blew the ship's sides out. The same thing caused the loss of HMS Hood. Bismarck hit the ship in her one really vulnerable spot, set off the magazines and the Hood blew up and sank so fast only three of her crew were saved. Look at what caused the deaths of 1177 men on board the USS Arizona. The one lucky bomb landed right on top of her forward magazine and ripped the ship apart with such violence it is said her bow came completely out of the water before settling back to the bottom.
