The Impossible Move that Outsmarted Japan at Pearl Harbor

On the quiet morning of December 7, 1941, light cruiser USS St. Louis lay anchored at Pearl Harbor, her crew preparing for a weekend leave. Maintenance had left her boilers cold, her guns silent, and her antennas inactive. It seemed like just another day.
Bill Canavan, ready to go ashore, heard the unmistakable rattle of gunfire from above. Initially, he thought it was another drill-a routine exercise among many. As he rushed to the deck, he saw the olive-drab aircraft marked with the rising sun emblem of Japan. This was no drill.
Hell broke loose over Pearl Harbor a second later. With most of the crew ready to leave, Canavan and many of the crew took their battle stations as the captain ordered the ship to prepare to move despite being underpowered and undermanned.
The harbor was a scene of devastation, filled with the wreckage of American ships and a swarm of Japanese fighters attacking from above. Anti-aircraft guns blazed as the boat maneuvered through the inferno. Enemy aircraft targeted St. Louis, but her gunners struck back, downing two fighters as they raced through the channel.
Just as the ship seemed to break free and the crew began cheering, spotters sighted a Japanese submarine waiting outside the harbor. Abruptly, she launched two torpedoes and then began streaking toward St. Louis.
Only a reef stood as the ship’s defense, and there was little room to maneuver. Was Lucky Lou’s luck running out?

I too was totally surprised by the sight of aircraft swooping down towards us painted with the colors of the Empire of Japan right after we had returned to Pearl from a long patrol on my submarine. What was even more surprising was that it was 2000 and not 1941. Found out after they were filming the movie Pearl Harbor.

@user-sk3pi1me2f 2 месяца назад

The story of the USS Helm is a good one, especially at "Pearl". They were underway when the attack happened and went into battle without a captain present or official orders to engage the Japanese, they were literally breaking open lock boxes of ammo with fire axes while steaming down one of the channels. The first radio call about the Japanese attack was issued from the USS Helm by their radioman Newton Brooks. A lot of this is official record but some of it, like entering combat while the captain was onshore with his son at church, picking up the captain (AND HIS SON) during the attack require more digging. The Helm had a lot of good stories.

@@andrewvelonis5940that's not true because we have the battleship USS Alabama here where she belongs in Mobile Alabama on mobile Bay which opens up into the beautiful Gulf Coast and we have plenty of visitors here. Problem is there is only a handful of ships from world war II left. Some of course were reconditioned for Korea and Vietnam and then decommissioned again but it's too bad they haven't saved more of them. Just the upkeep and restoration is expensive enough to make some cities shy away from the endeavor stop trying to save a piece of history. Especially when this generation that is around now is the worst generation in a long time and they don't care about preserving anything and their priorities are all wrong and they aren't being taught real history in school anymore and they're just propaganda factories at this point teaching kids things that don't really matter or they shouldn't be exposed to at certain ages. So these kids grow up ignorant of real history and everything that was worth keeping starts disappearing. Everything's disappearing right along with this country because these left wing lunatics have destroyed it. People never learn from history when they aren't being taught what that history is. Or taught to be proud of their country. Or talk to appreciate the sacrifices people have made so that these clowns could be free and live a life they don't deserve . It's disgusting.

@theloneranger8725 2 месяца назад

Okay, I think I have figured it out. The impossible move was this: all the lights on the St. Louis were turned off, thereby magically converting it from a light cruiser to a dark cruiser. (Makes as much sense as a bunch of other statements in this video.)

@dananorth895 2 месяца назад

A coal ship requires days to bring up to full temps/pressures. An oil fueled vessel on standby preheated can sail in 24 hrs. If they WERE sitting cold that would explain full shutdown. But bringing it up to full battlestations in mere hours would be extremely risky. Cold to steaming hot high pressure lines is beyond scary. A busted line would peel/par-boil your flesh right off! Of course the alternatives .........

@bernieshort6311 3 месяца назад

You say that the USS St. Louis lay anchored at Pearl Harbor with two of her eight boilers removed for cleaning whilst the rest were ice cold. There was no electricity, her main guns silent and her antenna inactive. That being said, how did she manage to move? The Attack lasted 90 minutes and, in those days, it took many many hours to flash a boiler from cold to online. So, I suggest that she could have had her boilers shut down but not necessarily cold. If she still had a boiler or two warm, then she might have been able to flash them allowing her to make way. There was a massive reduction on the expansion rate of a boiler from cold to hot often taking a couple of days to flash a cold boiler to hot and online. A very interesting story none the less. Thank you, 15 x 6" guns, that was some light cruiser.

@Woody615 2 месяца назад

I doubt they were cold. All ships while in port had to keep at least one boiler lit at all times for electrical power, for lights and ventilation, so the narration is wrong on that account. That is one of the reasons that the U.S.S. Nevada was able to get under way. It had 1 boiler lit like all ships. All ships rotate which boiler is lit so that they don't strain any one boiler and all the lines. Also, it keeps the physical structure warm for when they have to really fire them up. Once you shift to another boiler, it takes hours for the water to cool down. Anyway, the Nevada was going to switch over from one boiler to another one at 8am on Dec. 7, so the engineering division fired up another boiler starting at something like 7am so that they could do a switch over at 8am. Yes, it takes more time to get up a full head of steam, but since they only needed it to operate the electrical generators, it was enough. So, at 8am on December 7, 1941, the U.S.S. Nevada had 2 boilers operational which provided just enough steam for maneuvering in the harbor. This is all based on Walter Lord's book, "Day of Infamy".

Bombers were flying over the two ships to get at the battleships.

@MisterMac4321 3 месяца назад

The submarine report was erroneous. It was based on the mis-identification of a minesweeping float (which was being towed by the nearby USS Boggs (DD-163)) as an incoming torpedo. Other destroyers arrived on scene and depth-charged the area the suspected mini-submarine was in while the St.Louis rapidly exited the area. A number of authors have perpetuated this story by relying chiefly on the initial reports as their source material rather than the later, corrected, official history of the incident.

@arizonamodelshop2512 3 месяца назад

Naval historians have reported that a Japanese midget submarine that was in the channel entrance attempted to torpedo St. Louis, but in fact, the reported "torpedo" was a porpoising minesweeping float being towed by the USS Boggs (DD-136). Before being identified as such, however, the Boggs' skipper, Lt. Cmdr. David Roberts, unhesitatingly ordered his ship to turn into the path of the supposed torpedo.[10] Destroyers arrived and dropped depth charges on the imagined submarine, allowing St. Louis to proceed to open waters without further interruption. The ship took part in the unsuccessful search for the Japanese carrier strike force, but by 10 December, she had returned to Pearl Harbor. St. Louis thereafter escorted transport ships that evacuated casualties to California and brought reinforcements to Hawaii.[9]

How did the ship move with its boilers cold? We get to 5.55 before its explained that two boilers were not cold. OK.

Listen again. The narration says, "despite lacking two boilers." I presumed that those were the 2 that they had removed for maintenance, leaving 2 supposedly cold boilers. BUT, all ships had to keep at least one boiler lit at all times for electrical power, so the narration is wrong on that account.

I rarely do this about anything to do with World War II as I usually learn something but this one gets a thumbs down on the Impossible Move, boiler story inaccurate and the frantic narrative that was over dramatic.

… given how things are the past year, and trumps failed assassination controversy, i dont actually think we have learned how to prevent this first strike from others idea at all, always just talk. They have the control for that first hit. That annoys me…

How can something be 'impossible' to do...and then be done? Your AI is a disgrace.

Oh dear lord. This is claptrap, which explains why the overdramatic music is blaring atop the dreadfully incompetent and amateurish dramatic reading of a poorly written script. Bleh!
