@scottgiles7546 5 лет назад

Do a review of what ships the HMS Pinafore was based on! There is no ship "in" the Royal Navy better known and it deserves a proper treatment. It is also a good engine to introduce Gilbert and Sulivan to the poor empty souls unfamiliar with them. (Everyone needs Gilbert and Sulivan on their play list.) This song makes clear that the Royal Navy was a very serious affair with very serious people that deserved a serious play, just not here, WE'RE Gilbert and Sulivan... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ezr5_vae1CE.html It also has this timeless insight into human nature and bureaucratic structure. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kCBxI9yKLgw.html (Strangely, I want some Cap'n Crunch after hearing that..)

@hajoos.8360 4 года назад

@@mikemusikable you can intensify Drach's fine explanations of british and german battlecruisers in the web. The Tiger story shows a british example of higher speed than expected. And Tiger shows us a british example of a German battlecruiser, ok, as Drach said with a poor hit-performance. The stability of Tiger or her German opponents is not only a question of numbers and statistics. It is obvious that officers on Tiger, ordered the crews to work according to the manuals, and not to cheat to get favours of the admiral. And the Germans accepted a smaller shell size to save weight. But this is only dedicated to the guns. The Germans had usually more shells stored on board, a logical consequence.

@markasimmons 4 года назад

5:16 The Moltke bombarded the Hartlepools on 16th December 1914 (alongside Seydlitz and Blucher), and not Scarborough down the coast as noted. She fired about 400 main and secondary shells : our museum has three unexploded 28mm (11") shells from either her or the Seydeltz in our collection. One of the 123 shots from the Durham Royal Garrison Artillery 6" coastal defence guns fired from the Heugh or Lighthouse coastal guns struck her, killing 9 German sailors. In contrast, the 1150 shells from the three attacking ships killed 114 civilians, 9 solders and 7 RN sailors at the Hartlepools (most of the latter on the HMS Patrol as she moved out of port to engage the Blucher), and wounded over 500 people (442 people had hospital treatment of at least 1 night overnight for their wounds, so this figure could be as high as 800). 18 killed at Scarborough (1 disputed after research by Mark Marsay), and 3 killed at Whitby. A handful of the dozen 11" shells recovered by the Royal Engineers after the attack at the Hartlepools landed about 10 miles inland (17,600 yards / 16,000 m) : which goes to show that these guns had range despite their early low elevation. (I'm the Principal Curator, and lead of Research and Development, at Hartlepool Museums)

@Drachinifel 4 года назад

Just to clarify, I was referring to the entire operation under the more widely known title of "Bombardment of Scarborough"

@markasimmons 4 года назад

@@Drachinifel No disrespect intended. I thought as much, but had to set the scene so that the details of the shell/gun evidence of the Moltke off the Hartlepools made proper sense. Incidentally, deliberate government censorship of the details of the attack at Hartlepool and West Hartlepool, both defended and military sensitive, in favour of pushing "innocent" Scarborough, actually changed how the raid was remembered. Initially newspapers and the Associated Press wires called the attack "The East Coast Raid", or "The Bombardment of the Hartlepools", but as the War went on they shifted to solely focusing on the effects at Scarborough instead of elsewhere during the raid ("Remember Scarborough", as the WO poster said). A good example of deliberate manipulation : the earliest Gaumont Graphic newsreel "Attack on the Hartlepools", filmed on the afternoon of the 16th December, in the Hartlepools, Scarborough, and Whitby, was seized by the Military Authorities, and the Hartlepool sections almost complexity edited out and the sequence of towns reordered with Scarborough dominating, before reissued as "The Attack on Scarborough". Just goes to show the lasting power of manipulating the news for propaganda purposes. (Bf. anyone asks how I know this, let's just say just watch the news nearer to Christmas ... 😉)

@@christianselbach3455They kinda where, but it was mostly because they had no way of escaping the Mediterranean. And to be fair to Churchill/the Admiralty, it was literally in the contract that they would seize the ship if there was perceived to be a great need for it (like a war), with it being returned/payed for as soon as possible (and the British did offer to outright buy the ships right at the start,, with a guarantee to offer them to the Ottomans first and at a discount. The offer was rejected).

It's no wonder people argue about "what is a 'Battlecruiser'" when the nomenclature describes the ship's function, and not its form; and the different nations developing them had different functions in mind...

@UnintentionalSubmarine 5 лет назад

And then add in that the German WWI battlecruisers were 'Grosser Kreutzers', or 'Large Cruisers', and we can even add in the eternal fight over the Alaska class. And that the British had some pretty amusing nomenclature 'events' surrounding the KGV and Vanguard (called 'armoured battlecruiser' and 'fully armoured battlecruier' initially). Yeah 'battlecruiser' is a term that is at best, not clarified, at worst it is downright misleading.

@fusioncannon 5 лет назад

@@UnintentionalSubmarine that's why i stick with the term "fast battleships"

@UnintentionalSubmarine 5 лет назад

Understandable, but even that term is problematic as the Courageous, Invincible, Indomitable, Repulse and Lexington classes all had armour (at least initially) that ranged from making cruisers blush to armoured cruiser levels. The simple fact is that the term or any term you want to apply to them, covers an enormous range of capabilities. And as noted, some even overlapped it with normal battleships simply because of speed.

@hajoos.8360 5 лет назад

Beatty was maybe a coffeehouse baffoon, maybe not. His major incompetence was his lack of communication. As a seaman, he was obviously proper. Hipper's inclusion of Blücher at Doggerbank was a great failure.

@jannegrey593 3 года назад

@@hajoos.8360 Not exactly Hipper's choice. That order came from the top. Hipper was happy when the Weather worsened, because it meant that (I think this is the ship) Von Der Tann, would be out of dockyard repairs. However, due to Weather clearing up rapidly, Admiralty decided to go with the raid and included Blucher to basically fill out the gap. Let's be honest. While Blucher was incredibly good as an Armored cruiser - you could even claim that she was semi-battle-cruiser (having characteristics of both AC and BC), she would be better of either in Far East or somewhere where she didn't had to fight battleships and bigger Battle-cruisers of RN. Also the RN had a "communication problem" (Beatty and his signal officer), so when Blucher was hit and had to reduces speed and fall out of the line, all ships concentrated fire on her. I do have to re-read the sources, but didn't she receive 200+ shells and at least 3-4 torpedoes, before she went down?

@hajoos.8360 3 года назад

@@jannegrey593 the top-speed of German BCs was in reality, not on paper, faster than of the Brit BCs. Without Blücher and the comradeship to stay in line of battle to support the Armoured Cruiser we would not have seen the Battle of the Doggerbank. Blücher was, as you mentioned a fine ship, but not in a BC-action. In technical questions like the ammunition-handling the Germans had an easy task to use the experiences of this battle. But the Germans had, as always, difficulties to use the tactical experiences of major battles since the Battle at the Yellow River. Still at Jutland they included slow cows. German admiralty was still in WWII a big band of idiots.

Study the German operation Weserübung to secure the iron-ore delivery in Narvik, it was totally improvised.

No mention of her role as the flagship of Operation Albion in 1917, leading a German fleet of some 300+ vessels, including 10 capital ships. The force occupied the islands at the mouth of the gulf of Riga. This was a prelude to a planned attack towards St Petersburg which never materialised due to the Russian revolution. It seems to be strangely unknown - not even Marder mentions it - yet it is a major reason for the perceived "inactivity" of the German fleet through 1917.

What was the idea behind the torpedo launchers on capital ships of that time? As I understand, those were fixed torpedo tubes mounted below the waterline (either to the front, or to the side). I realy can't see the how a single torpedo tube in the broadside - with the torpedoes of the time being inacturate, short ranged and not particulary reliable - could be considerd worth the sacrifice in precious internal space for the torpedo room.

@davefinfrock3324 5 лет назад

The idea was that they'd be fired by the ships of one battleline in the general direction of the enemy battleline and some would simply hit because of so many targets in a relatively limited area. Of course this didn't work out in practice, but you could say that about as lot of ideas going into WW1.

@hajoos.8360 5 лет назад

According to Drach, it seems that Hood fired torpedos at Denmark strait, and this would be plausible, because the hydrophone-section of PE reported a British torpedo-attack. Torpedos on battleships make sense in the case of operations in close waters.

@Bird_Dog00 5 лет назад

hmm... In enclosed waters maybe. The Whitehead MK5 was stilll in use after WW1 and aparently had a max range of about 4000 yards (pretty sure the effective range was considerably shorter than that). Also, often just one tube. Given the low chances to hit, and the investment in space for the torpedo room (economics of scale. a torpedo room for 4 tubes would not be 4 times as large as one for a single tube), personaly, I would have favoured a "put a battery of them in, so we can fire spreads or don't bother at all" aproach. But then, I'm neither a shipwright nor a naval officer, so this is just layman armchair-ery...

Reading about the German navy in WW1 is so frustrating, because they had the power to engage the british. Sure there were less ships but they had better accuracy, armor, and shells. Yet they were cowards and hid in port most of the war.

Boxghost102 somewhat unfair, first say what you will of Germany of that time, they didn’t breed a lot of cowards. Second, the story of Jutland is that the “High Seas” fleet was a navy without a job, following the battle of Jutland the Royal Navy had twenty-four capital ships in fighting condition, compared to only ten German warships. German capitol ships were too few to strategically affect the Royal Navy since it was clear if they sortied in strength that they would be met by overwhelming force. Of course the fleet didn’t sit idle, in-spite of sailor protests and even a mutiny due to growing anti war sentiment, elements sortied for commerce raiding and for action against the Russians. There were several raids planned against the British homeland which were cancelled due to bad weather.

Maybe the German engineers had a better feeling for female ship-shapes.

@@derzauberer8605 most of the British battle-ships had an ugly male-shape, only a few exceptions (for example Vanguard). Check them and tell us, which ones you like.
