HMS Myngs - Sunk by F-4 Phantoms in Port 

Out of curiosity, I went looking for more stuff on Myngs/El-Qaher after watching your video, and apparently people scuba dive to her wreck.

When talking about a Royal Navy destroyer, it's zed class, never zee.

I might have missed it, but heard no explanation for a Z class being called "Myngs" while all the other ships had names beginning with Z... so I looked it up. Myngs was named for Vice Admiral Sir Christopher Myngs (died 1666) and his name was included as part of a tradition of having one or two ships of a class commemorate historical naval figures, even if their names didn't match the class naming convention. Myngs made his name fighting the Spanish both as a Kings officer and a privateer. Unfortunately, a big part of his fame is based on what Samuel Pepys wrote about him and modern analysis suggests that Pepys was mostly making it up, so perhaps Myngs was not as notable as the RN thought he was back in the 40's... or (more likely) the RN had literally been running out of names to use on ships of all sizes (there were still a lot of smaller craft from WW1 in service) and were scraping the barrel to find distinctive names. A nice problem to have, you might think!

Really cool history! 👍🏻

Next time you're doing 45 miles an hour, just think...that's how fast this destroyer could go

Let's talk about the U.S.S. Liberty AGTR-5. My brother was burned during the attack.

if its a former british ship ts no longer hms

Overkill seems to be a common thing embedded in Israeli military doctrine.

Is it possible to watch a naval history video without introducing political zealotry into the conversation?

The woke women feminist ' would have a field day ' if we named another ship or car building 'ect myngs 🤣

Why did Israel bomb the ship in 1970? That’s half way between the 1967 and 1973 wars. I didn’t think there was armed conflict between the two countries at that time.

It's pronounced "ZEE NITH" not "Zin nith". Zenith means apex. Not sure what zinnith means. Great history read, but please practice read then record. Your speech fluctuations are all off. Great content as a whole.
