Incredible to think that the pilot lost his keys right after seeing the enterprise blow up, and then adding insult to injury by having a vivid hallucination showing him how he at least coulda kept those keys safe. Man what a day.
The Destroyer that was hit by the crashing torpedo bomber the USS Smith, managed to put the fire out when her skipper had the helmsman steer her into the massive wake of the Battleship South Dakota extinguishing the flames and saving the ship. The quick thinking from her captain as well as the crews supurb damage control earned the ship a well deserved Presidential Unit Citation.
@@andrewmontgomery5621 Absolutely, after all somehow I doubt the damage control manual had a section that read: "In event of emergency, Battleships are excellent ad hoc fire extinguishers."
"you never really love a carrier until she gets hit" That quote sticks with me everytime..... I always cry when i hear about the Yorktown class and how enterprise is the last one left
unfortunately she was scrapped I believe in 60's but there's a legend and that's she never stops watching over fun fact several people claimed to see her shadow in the darkest hours but when one Enterprise is scrapped they use some of her metal for another CV which let's her live along even in these modern times God bless USS ENTERPRISE for all the sacrifices she made for the country she lost both of her sisters and Japanese called her grey ghost whenever they thought they destroyed her she appeared and striked 1st also there's one story and that's in each of her crew members she still lives on she's in their DNA as long as these families live there will be always Enterprise also she had once damaged front elevator (from bomb)and her pilots even though knowing they wouldn't be able to land took off and did their job and landed on Henderson field refueled rearmed and took off again
I was expecting this one, but I had no idea the depth of detail it would get. Santa Cruz, Grim Reapers, and Swede Vajtesa. Outstanding. Pure purrfection. You guys really are incredible story tellers.
Completely agree and exactly what I thought @shubhampatel8884 Compare this to the crappy CGI of a movie like Midway and Yarnhub Absolutely wins nowadays
same old clusterfucked physical, same old grind and waste money free to playing money game, good old classic server crash get destroyed, very nice the large calibre gun can be failed to destroy little and weak vehicle even with a good shot, nice for you, not someone else. like or not was not the point.
I’m a massive history enthusiast, and I will say it myself this is the best history channel on RU-vid, it’s one of the reasons why I’m writing a short novel about Midway, and the one I already wrote about a Afrika Korps Tank Commander, thank you, keep up the good work.
How a small studio is able to make such good animation, research and voice acting with a small budget? Like honestly i rarely see any errors and re use of footage for certain shots is a pretty good idea and pretty well done that not a lot of people seem to realize. But the most surprising thing is how fast these videos coming with Quality levels maintaning pretty high. props
I still can't believe that I started watching this channel 3 years ago when the night witches and Fray Bentos videos came out. Especially the remake of the spare b-17. It all still feels like they just came out.
11:30 Damn, even after seeing the comment that the crew manage to contain the fires, seeing the Kamikaze make what I assume was a last second decision to dive for the destroyer gives me goosebumps
The facial expressions were incredible. They looked a lot more restrained than a typical animation but I feel like that is realistic because I could still see all that tension in their faces. Very nice job. The dialogue also sounds far less caricature-like; they sound more like how people would communicate in these life or death scenarios. Japanese and English dialogues both sound awesome.
Feels like The Grey Ghost and her Grim Reapers would been a ghost story among the IJN: “A lone ghost ship, last of her class, comes back from the dead every time. Angrier and stronger than before. Because it wasn’t oil that kept her going, it was revenge”. “The Grey Ghost? She’s just a myth! The Yanks must have some new carriers they made”. “Fool! I’ve seen this ship with my own eyes. It is the same! She seeks revenge against us all! Mark my words. By the time she had reached our shores… there won’t be a navy, not even much of an Air Force left”. “Just tall tales. No ship has that kind of a grudge”. “That is no ship private! That, is wrath. We decimated her home, sunk her sister ships. How would you feel if you’d lost everything and were the last one left?! We will fight and die for our empire. She intends to make that so. Every last one of us. Until none are left”.
“The Grey Ghost”. I really hate how the most decorated and successful aircraft carrier in WW2 was scrapped by the government instead of being turned into a museum
Oh definitely. That will always make me cry knowing that. There should have been no questions about wanting to save Enterprise. No need to build up money to do it either. Should have done it automatically. I swear I do not know how I would act if I got to walk over that deck today knowing what happened here. Mm man .. I love veterans to pieces.
@@crimsonmaelstrom573 Nope I did not but I did get soo close to being a Marine. MEPS would not give me the green light despite numerous times of trying to fix an "issue" I had that turned out to be nothing. I wish it would have went better. Would be a veteran right now. Sucks but life is full of surprises.
Yarnhub made a video! Excellent as usual. Just the animation of the rain on the wind screens was awesome. You outdid yourself with this one. It looks fantastic. The USS Smith actually survived that encounter putting her fire out with the wake of another ship which was pretty genius if you ask me. Keep up the great work.
Yarnhub, i want to be honest with you: Your talent in making such content knows no bounds. It felt like i was watching a WW2 movie but your videos put even the best ones to shame due to how exciting and engaging they are and as a history buff you have my most sincere congratulations and gratitude for providing all of us with such exceptional content😊🎆.
Guys, trust me, I do know that after making a vid you're exhausted, and after having watched it a million times during production, you don't precisely feel like watching it again. Happened to me, but it's been 84 ye... anyway! My advice in return for the awesome movie: Watch it - yes, again, but! In a rather large TV. The largest you got. Mine's 65" and's like being at the movies, but without bad smell around you, noise, and people getting up 'cause they payed to see a war movie and it ended up being a war movie. Seriously. I just did, and for some reason also ended up purchasing a copy of my car key from a friendly cat! 😂😹
I always enjoy watching your videos. They are to the point and expertly crafted into a cohesion of each part falling into place in perfection! Awesome work, as usual! :)
I just rewatch yesterday the Dogfights episode where Vejtasa fights against 3 fighters flying a Dauntless bomber. It feels nice seeing more stories about this pilot around
Definitely. It's an extremely commendable effort! Most of the youtubers hire voice actors (which isn't bad, tho), but having to go through the effort of translating and dubbing yourself is something i'm extremely grateful!
Thank you Yarnhub what a great episode! And thank you “Swede” and the “The Grim Reapers” and all servicemen and women that have served since, your time and service is much appreciated!
I have an assignment due tomorrow ( probably will take around 2 hours to finish ) , got onto YT to put on some lofi , and see that yarnhub has uploaded . i guess the assignment can wait
One thing to note, these were not organized 'Kamikazes' but rather just pilots in crippled aircraft making crash dives since they were going to die anyhow. Kamikazes were not an actual organization with the sole intent of crashing into enemy ships until late 1944.
Thank you for covering the Battle for Santa Cruz....and especially Vetija!! Because in that day he got 7 confirmed kills...making him an Ace in a day!! Vetija even flew into his own AA being thrown up by the Carriers and the Cruisers and Destroyers on that day!! He considered even trying to take out the Japanese bomber by sheering the tail off because he was out of bullets... instead the bomber took a nosedive and hit the USS Smith ,a Destroyer Escort, that was screening the USS Enterprise on that day... Alot of US Navy hero's deserve to be recognized for their actions during WW2. Especially when they were in the Pacific Theater... Why not do a video about the Battle of Leyte Gulf, well one of the many Battles that took place during this huge Battle... Maybe do a video about the Battleship's slugfest with the Japanese Southern force during that Battle...focus on the USS Tennessee and USS California and the few Battleships that survived the attack on Pearl Harbor... I can't remember all of the names but you should definitely do a video about that certain Battle...it would be a great one!! I really enjoy watching your videos!!! 💯🇺🇸
Vejtasa was a strong soldier, and i also respect the Japanese for their fight, they thought they were fighting for the emperor and their country. Respect for both sides 🇺🇸🇯🇵
Many Japanese committed atrocities (sure, prob more so in the army but still). I can't respect someone who fights for tyrannny & genocide (Japan in China, Rape of Nanjing; Germans in WWII; Rusians now; Israelis bombing civillians just for the political survival of one man...). If more people said 'no', we wouldn't have these damned wars, but they don't, people aren't socially brave generally, so I won't respect them for just going along with the propeganda. Its not that all the Japanese were evil but its disingenuious to suggest there's any moral comparison between the Allies in WWII and the Axis.
@@skullsaintdead You do know the US also did some questionable things to the Japanese, one of them being forcing prisoners and japanese immigrants to say the US pledge of allegiance, and many worse things. I respect the soldiers for their commitment for their country, willing to give their lives for the emperor and for honour from their family. The emperor did nothing wrong, but Tojo and other japanese officials were responsible for the crimes, the Japanese army and navy were fooled by those officials. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
@@IAteAJarOfPickles Wow, "the Emperor did nothing wrong", damn, at least I know now why people make such statements, anyways I'm not going to argue with someone that holds such a view. What the Allies did was, in some cases, horrible, but to compare us with the monstrosities of the Axis as you have done... It is incredibly dangerous, for democracy and our way of life & our freedoms. Have a good night.
@@skullsaintdead yeah I can understand, I don't respect the officials that started this. But I respect the soldiers who fought. I respect all men who would give their lives to their country no matter whether it be Axis or Allies.
