Then it Got Worse - The Russian Navy Sucks Part 1 by History of Everything - Reaction 

This story would have been 10x funnier if the kamchatka was the only surviving ship of the battle.

The US Navy Tradition for almost 250 years now demands competence at some level of command over a ship even if you don't like the officers.

A movie of this "voyage" would probably be considered unrealistic due to the sheer incompetence on display.

History of everything: the Russian navy sucks Communist fanboys: NOOOO ITS BETTER THAN AMERICAS NAVY!!1!1 History of everything: the Russian navy sucks The fat electrician: yes

I would love to watch a dark comedy series about the Second Baltic Fleet.

apparently tex from the black pants legion currently attempts to make a russian navy holding up to the standard of a hegemony force in ultimate admiral dreadnoughts. lets see if he fares any better

To further what you were saying about how fast the Japanese modernized, Admiral Tōgō helped to fire shore batteries at the British ships during the bombardment of Kagoshima in 1863, the US Civil War was going on then. It had only been a decade or so since Japan was opened up to the West. Now he's leading a force of modern pre-Dreadnought ships against a European empire.

Aboard the fishing boat. First mate: "Captain I think our fleet is firing at us!" Captain: "What?! Are you sure?" First mate after watching them miss every shot: "I don't know..."

In summary, Russia can't boat.

Screwups like this happen in every navy. The US navy had it's fair share of incidents, the British did as well, so did everyone else. But the difference is that in those navies it was precisely that, incidents, something out of the norm, an error of the system. In Russian navy stuff like this IS the norm. The most out of the ordinary thing in this whole fiasco was the existence of a competent and not-corrupt officer in charge of the fleet and the fact they made it that far in the first place should be atributed to that abnormality- an honest and competent officer in Russia...

Speaking of Rozhestvensky's early death, despite being around the same age, Nikolai Nebogatov the commander of the 3rd Pacific Squadron outlived him by 13 years, dying at 73 years old rather than Rozhestvensky's 60.

Torpedo Boats there are always Torpedo Boats thankfully they all carry Mk 14's!

Oh jeeze, i thought i was having deja vu for a minute nm XD

14:36 No Admiral before or since has ever had to do that to another ship, Admiral Rozhestvensky did not deserve this

Oh boy, I do hope The Old Man reacts to History of Everything's video on the collapse of the Soviet Union. Others must suffer the Deep Hurting of the Soviet Chicken Meat commercial...

If you wanna see how tragically funny/ironic this story truly is, contrast this with the voyage of the great white fleet a few years later, that sailed 4 times the distance the Baltic fleet did, without causing any mayham. Instead of creating potential enemies, they helped shift opinion in the US' favour, actually helped some cities devastated by natural disasters, helped by highlighting issues US ships had, particurlarly during rough seas and a lot of sailors and officers gained some much needed experience on long voyages, especially when it came to managing fuel (thanks to British coal-carrying supply ships.) Another example of Russian/Soviet naval shenanigans/incompetance not (yet) covered by that chanel, is when a Soviet submarine captain wanted to surface in the middle of a carrier strike group to take pictures for propaganda purposes only to surface directly in front of the carrier Kitty Hawk, then crash diving and having some damage to the sail from the Kitty Hawk and loosing a propeller blade as well as some anechoic tiles that the Americans had to scrape off of the Kitty Hawks' bow, giving the USN some valuable intel on the noise-reduction technology of Soviet submarines.

I can't seem to find this channel everytime I look it up it pops up some podcast

20:09 Japan be like "take it back we don't want it"

The Russian navy seems to be mentally stuck in the mindset of the pre Royal Navy. Before the modernization and dominance of the Royal Navy most countries built their ships to look impressive rather than to fight crewed them with pesants rounded up from the fields and handed command to soldiers who were friends with the king with varying degrees of success. The French and Spanish managed to produce a moderately useful navy this way. However when they began encountering the lethality of professional Royal navy ships built from the keel up for war and stripped of almost all guilding and decorative work crewed by men who'd largely spent their lives at sea and commanded by officers trained and promoted for competence in their field they too saw the need to take naval warfare seriously and instituted similar reforms. How the Russians have managed to miss the point time and time again during five hundred years of naval development is just stunning.

I'm pretty sure Animarchy has a video about this, talks about the cruiser Aurora in more detail iirc

Haven’t you watched Drach’s voyage of the damned and battle of Tsushima videos? 2-3 years ago? Cause I’ve got them watched in my watched list… and they would be the reason I would have found your channel, because I love watching people react to Drachinfel and the Comedy of errors and incompetence and torpedo boats that is those videos😂😂

12:17 he did that and the average IQ of the Russian fleet was still in the negative, boy oh boy Admiral Rozhestvensky was a doomed man wasn't he

The Russian navy is currently losing boats to a country that doesn't have one.

i love History of Everything!

Is Old Man forgetting he already watched Drachinifel's videos on the Second Pacific Squadron?

Yay history of everything 😊

nO nO nO!!! tHe RuZzIaN nAvY iS tHe WoRlDs MoSt PoWeRfUl NaVy!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm trying to point out you chubby electron man shirt but it keeps deleting my comment

As a portuguese all i have to say to russia is: just give up already. Navy is not your thing. Save the effort. Hell, russia doesnt even deserve to have ports anyway, all of them are on foreign conquered nations - Ingria, Karelia, Samiland, Konningsberg, Crimeia, Circassia, Outer Manchuria. Russia has no business at sea.
