@@andyb1653 it’s a cliche, but RR really was a “complicated guy”. He did a lot of things that in the long term caused some incredibly intractable problems, like turbocharging inequality, and breathing new life into racism. But he really did have a great sense of humor and I honestly believe that in his heart he was a patriot. The REAL monsters were the hardcore fanatics that loved a believable lie and the feeling of power that came with using them. People like Rodger Stone, Leo Leo (who hated being called that preferring “Leonard Leo), Rupert Murdoch, Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist, Jerry Falwell (who started out in Wall Street and was known for the quote “if you want to make real money get into religion), and others. THEY’RE the ones who twisted conservatism into the sick combination of fascism and insatiable greed. If RR could see the party he spawned he’d be spinning in his grave.

The oil rigs weren't producing oil by then. They were used as outposts for the Revolutionary Guard and a forward base of ops for the Iranian Navy for doing things like scattering mines in international waters.This was known by everyone at the time. The existence of anti-air guns mounted on the structure should be dead giveaway to anyone interested.
@Austin.Kilgore
@Austin.Kilgore 6 месяцев назад
Yeah the first time I heard this story I was a bit confused as to why they’d have anti-air guns on an oil rig to begin with, so I must’ve missed when The Fat Electrician literally stated early on the video that the oil rigs are no longer drawing any oil but are instead being used as military outposts.

I was there. The tanker escort mission was called Operation Earnest Will. When we would enter or leave the gulf through the Straits of Hormuz, Iran would light us up with their Silkworm missile radars. And steaming around in mined waters is rather nerve-racking. I was on the USS Merrill (DD-976), SAG B, during this engagement. We wound up doing all the shooting on the Sassan oil platform because Lynde B. McCormick's gun had dropped sync and was "walking" and they couldn't fix it in time. After the engagement we had a joke: How does the Ayatollah inspect his fleet... Glass Bottomed boat. The Soviet Udaloy destroyer was gathering intel. A few details wrong, but it doesn't detract from the story and NO ONE gets ALL the details right.. I love Nic's presentation. I've seen most of his videos and they are awesome.

I didn’t know that only your ship fired on the platform! I was part of the Marine detachment that set the explosive charges. I picked up a few small “artifacts” while moving about the platform. One of them was a piece of shrapnel that was resting in the bottom of a trench that was carved out of the helipad by one of your shots. The 5” groove started shallow and grew deeper as it grazed over the surface, finally penetrating completely. Thanks to you I know which ship fired the chunk of metal I’ve been holding for 36 years!

@@johnsoule2417 I was standing EW Console Operator (AN/SLQ-32) and one of our other guys was my Radio Operator. The only time I got nervous during the operation was when we had an inbound F-4 and he got a little too close for comfort. Guns had dropped sync and couldn't pick him up, and he was in Sea Sparrow's blind spot (cut-outs), so they couldn't fire on him, and I didn't have his radar, yet. I believe he got within 20 NM, suddenly Sea Sparrow picked him up, Guns picked him up, and I picked up his radar. He bugged out because he knew he was going down. I think the other thing that bothered me about Earnest Will was steaming around in mined waters. Very nerve-wracking... It's interesting to get another perspective on what happened.

@@toddhutchins2492 I really appreciate you sharing this extra insider’s perspective, Todd. As a self-taught military historian this is like finding a gold nugget! You are correct when saying no single presentation seems to get every detail right, but all the highlights are here. Of course you know we didn’t just “send a couple of Hueys” full of Marines to set charges. The Trenton did have a couple of UH-1Ns but our main ride was the CH-46. We were covered by AH-1T Cobras which added 20mm and TOW missile fire to the 5” gun damage. The Sassan GOSP was truly massive with multiple platforms connected by catwalks. There was visible damage almost everywhere, some of it obviously fresh, but I suspect some might have already been there. Perhaps from an Iraqi attack? At any rate, it was a battle station. Ammunition stores were cooking off from burning fires sending metal in random directions. I can see why the Sirri platform wasn’t raided! After each platform was “cleared” (using concussion grenades) the Marines of MAGTF 2-88 (B Co. 1/2) gathered intel items for analysis. We even took a ZU-23-2 and hoisted it under a CH-46 for transport back to the Trenton. The gun was almost completely intact except for a fresh shrapnel gouge in one of the barrels, courtesy the Merrill. The same choppers then turned around and began the process of transporting around 3000 pounds of explosives over to us. Due to some previous experience with explosives, I and another Corporal were ordered to stay back and assist setting up the charges. I had a rifleman and a grenadier from my fireteam as well. A SNCO from EOD was in charge of the setup plan. We used lots of C4 blocks, but also improvised 40 pound cratering charges to destroy other 23mm ZU emplacements and stacks of Iranian ammo. We even used Bangalore torpedos along the catwalks. All of this work took several hours for our small group! With everything set to go off together from a det cord, the Gunny lit the timed fuse and we got on the last CH-46 out. I saw Gunny looking at his watch on the flight back to the Trenton, sweating and praying I’m sure, that everything would work. I never saw the explosion, as it went up when we were still airborne.

The fact of the matter is that at the end of this conflict, the reality of Iran's military capacity was affected for decades, while for America it amounted to a footnote in the history books and an incident that could be swept under the rug. The idea that Iran's leadership thought that putting mines in a massively trafficked international trade lane had even the slightest chance of doing anything other than provoking a fight they could not win was insane.
@ralphm6901
@ralphm6901 6 месяцев назад
I have to say, when he first mentioned the dive team discovering the mines were Iranian, I expected the divers to moe them into Iranian waters. I realize that's a dangerous proposition, but it would have been fun watching Iran discover their mines had made their way home.
@markandrew5968
@markandrew5968 6 месяцев назад
​That's more than a dangerous proposition, that's an effectively impossible proposition. A mine isn't well-designed if it's something that's easy to disarm or move. Even if there wasn't a risk to the divers, and they could spend hours working on the mines, without using a nearby support ship since those mines are designed to detect ships and detonate, most naval mines are like 400-500 pounds, and the ones in use by Iran in this incident were a particular type where the mine is also tied to an anchor that weighed who knows how much. The mass of the mine means that even if it were neutrally buoyant and wouldn't need constant effort to keep from sinking, it would still be difficult to move. The mooring means though that it actually isn't neutrally buoyant, the explosive payload at the top is, but as a whole the mine sinks. The tether to the mine is typically a heavy chain, and a rope alone is hard enough to cut underwater, let alone a chain. @@ralphm6901

It's always been the problem with Iran: Disconnect. Their army does what it wants, when it wants. The same for it's small Navy. Only when things go horribly wrong does it diplomatic leadership even get contacted. The basic concept is avoidance of responsibility. If their military takes a chance and scores a gain, they get a parade. If they take a chance and screw up, their politicians say "We had no idea this was going on." *shrugs* All one needs to do is follow the activities of Iran since the 80's to know this is true. Think of all the organizations they finance which create chaos, and continue to do so.

Understanding the history - Iran had a relatively moderate, educated populace going through reform of governance. But because Britain and the US and O&G - well, instead of allowing and supporting the transition: They went and reinstalled the regime. And the rest is kind of history - What ended up happening is revolution, leading to the Authoritarian Theocratic Regime of today taking over. When you have an Authoritarian regime - loyalty matters over all else. When you have a Theocratic regime - loyalty to the religion matters above all else, and in basically every Authoritarian and Theocratic government that has ever occurred, corruption has always occurred leading to exploitation and abuse, and a loss of top tier talent as top tier talent tends to question and look for better ways, and if you can prove a better way: The establishing hierarchy looks bad, and that is a terrible thing right? You can imagine that the current day Iranian regime isn't ran by the best. The best emigrated when they could, the best got persecuted. And so what you get, is a bunch of Yes men - someone at the top proposes a solution, and everyone, no matter how bad the idea, no matter the consequences will tend to say "yes boss". Now we get into their goals: Well - if you don't have an external enemy, your people are liable to rally against authoritarians given time. You NEED a threat outside of you that is not existential, but constant enough to continue galvanizing the populace against the threat in a rallied way which allows a complete shut down of dissension against the regime to go without backlash. So why does Iran fund those organizations? Because it keeps a degree of instability around Iran - and that Instability creates the very foundational justification for literally everything else going on inside the country in one form or another.

As a young child I was allowed to go on what the Navy called a "Tiger" cruise on the USS Enterprise. I got to ride in the back seat of one of the first FA-18B fighters. I know what it feels like to be going Mach 1.2 at 50 feet off the water. I have a video of the rooster tail of water thrown up by the jet wash. It was taller than the tail of the jet. Then my uncle pulled up and I got to ride straight up on the 30 foot column of fire from the after burners of the jet. I will never forget that ride. The Navy stopped the Tiger cruises the next year and a lot of teenage Navy relatives lost out on the best recruiting tool in history.

I was in the Navy, my job was Electronic Warfare; missile defense, threat recognition, etc. These conflicts with Iran were the proving grounds for my job. I was lucky to have an instructor who was serving on a ship in the gulf during this conflict. In the post WW2 era, very few naval battles have taken place. As much of a pucker factor it had to be for the sailors, the fact that our equipment proved its efficacy in those fights made it easier for us to do our job. A lot of lessons learned, but equally confusion. In all my time in I never got a straight or consistent assessment of what happened with the USS Stark. My instructor told us while he was there Iran was doing bombing runs on Iraq, and were not targeting US ships. But the Iranian aircraft would fly south, approach his U.S. Navy ship, turn on their missile targeting radar, and then break west before getting too close. Until one day the Iranians didn't turn. They continued south, turned on their targeting radar. My instructor was on watch at the time. He saw them coming. He told the TAO, TAO told the captain. The captain waffled and wouldn't give permission to fire on them, but he did give my instructor permission to fire countermeasures in case they launched missiles. My instructor launched chaff, the Iranian jets flew right over the ship and then broke west to go attack Iraq. The Iranians basically bet their lives on trolling the Navy, probably trying to bait them into attacking.

I would like to say that I've watched a few videos on the Royal Marines.. And all i can say about those guys is that I've got nothing but RESPECT for THE ROYAL MARINES.. Pretty Badass group of individuals.. 🇬🇧🦅🇺🇸

​​@@bzkshane exactly! I'm laughing my ass off and I'm a 56-year-old woman but my dad was in the Navy 26 years.. I went to college for two years then Parris Island and Marine Corps & finished 4 years active and my BS. I applied for OCS and went to Quantico to the naval officer because I wanted to be a lawyer. The military covered ALL OF THAT. For 3 years I went to school and busted my ass and I kept my GPA up at 4.0 just to make sure they paid my tuition. When I was going to law school I was in the reserves, & could have been pulled out if any time if NEEDED.. thankfully that didn't happen. I loved working with JAG. But I was raised around guys and worked around a lot of guys so they never offended me with anything they say. As long as they didn't hit on me, we were good.

Glad to see more people liking Fat Electricians stuff, it's the exact kind of history lesson I would have loved in school. The ones he did on the Mosquito plane and the 'Real life starfox' were great because he looked at UK military stuff too with the exact same level of charisma. Don't worry about taking from his views because your reaction was exactly the same as mine and now more people know about him. Feel free to react to more. Happy new year too! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next 👍

considering he talks about two different operations that took place 6 whole MONTHS apart as if it was the same day, and most of the people here are too lazy to even find out the facts and just take his word for it, hardly gives weight to him being some kinda history buff let alone someone teaching lessons... come on man do better at least for yourself.

The USS Samuel B. Roberts actually shares its name with a WW2 ship that fought in the Battle off Samar. It became known as 'the destroyer escort that fought like a battleship' as a part of task group Taffy 3. The original is currently the deepest shipwreck ever found from WW2, which was a few years ago.

My brother served as Sonar on a sister ship to the Roberts, the frigate Doyle, who ended up retired because in a drydock period they found out the keel was cracked from wear and tear, and had been so for years, and was driving around deployments perfectly fine. Those old Perry-Class FFGs were built different.
