"and then she had to be torpedoed to finish her off" doesn't quite do Nevada justice. She was also bombarded for a few days straight, and failed to be sunk. The torpedoes also failed to sink her. In the end she had to be scuttled and even then she landed on the sea floor the right way up meaning all that really happened is she was promoted to Submarine.
She fought in two world wars, trading shots with German (twice), Japanese and Italian capital ships; Is the most decorated ship in RN history (even more than Viccy) and still holds the longest for longest-ranged accurate strike with a kinetic weapon. The Grand Ole Lady deserved better. Also, she was gorgeous.
@@chitaumoua2396 Because Napoleon fought the British only 3 times (and won only Toulon yes) but between 1743 and 1815 (Waterloo is the last so) in the 123 encounters between France and Great Britain 63 were won by France (so 60 by Great Britain and the Coalitions) and the vast majority was France Alone against The Coalitions so rarely the British Alone
Ulrich is believed to be the H class paper ship, which was never finished. Hulls were laid down but the H class battleships never got further than that. Design wise, they were basically a bigger Bismarck class
The Bataan one caught me off guard and the Jean Bart one I like it because of how she got destroyed by my home state battleship Massachusetts. Absolutly Decimated
The 2nd part of Yorktown one is accurate, what worse is if the US fleet had moved fast enough they could have captured Akagi before the Japanese could have scuttled her. Edit: This is purely a hypothetical and unlikely to have occurred but is a neat idea maybe the devs play around with.
@@Abrams6578 the propaganda value alone would throw sinking her out the window. Remember she was the flagship of the combined fleet that lead the attack on pearl harbor. It's a massive insult to the imperial navy to have captured her, it's an even bigger insult to then refit her and use her to replace the lost of Lexington. Even if she wouldn't see combat the propaganda and spite value is too much just to sink or scrap.
@@TheLoraxshadenough Akagi would probably not be worth refitting, and nobody at that time was even consdering the idea of boarding a ship to claim it as a prize, that was something of another era almost. The Americans were too busy trying to find out what the heck was happening. Also, I'm not sure if the escort fleet was in the area or not, but I fully understand if the commander did not like the idea of sailing into a potential gunfight to maybe perhaps claim a mortally wounded aircraft carrier that was slowly being reduced to a (barely) floating iron nugget. They already had their massive propaganda victory, why risk throwing it away to maybe capture one ship, important as it may be, that was going to sink anyway?
@@the_tactician9858 considering the lost of Lexington at coral sea and the possible lost of other carriers in later engagements, capturing and using a enemy as a replacement is cheaper in time and resources then building another from scratch. Even with most electrical and flammable components were lost, half of the work is already done and installing new components would take only a small amount of time. Boarding Akagi would be out of the question considering the still ongoing fires but throwing a rope or chain around part of her and towing her like Yorktown back to port is feasible. The victory at Midway was more than enough of a propaganda victor, capturing Akagi would just be icing on the cake. The whole post is a very big hypothetical and would have been very unlikely to occur but it would be a cool idea for Yostar to play around with and maybe add a new variant or skin for Akagi that plays on this idea, kinda like NP's Eugen that's real world counter part was unfinished but the drydock was captured by the soviets.
@@TheLoraxshadenough I highly doubt they'd have bothered. The guts of the ship would be too different from what the US navy uses, making the logistics of keeping it operational a nightmare. And while yeah, you could maybe use the hull and redo everything else in it, it would take a lot of time and resources, eat up precious dockspace, and result in something inferior to what the US was building in droves, while taking about as much time as just building another Essex class carrier. That said, if they could capture her safely, they'd definitely do so for intelligence reasons, as well as the propaganda value of sailing a captured carrier into port. But a bit of a moot point, as the Japanese would have just put a volley of long lances into her, much like how the US torpedoed the Wasp, except their torpedoes generally worked (did have some issue that the wakes of large ships could prematurely detonate them, but, well that's not applicable in this case).
i'm french too, but no Richelieu-class is not the best battleship ever made, it's the Iowa-class. for me Richelieu-class are the third (Yamato-class is second)
2:33 Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel! Bismarck in motion, king of the ocean! He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas To lead the war machine To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine The terror of the seas! The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine!
Him: So who's your favorite waifu? Me: I don't? *"In the distance"* *"From the mist, a shape, a ship, is taking form, And the silence of the sea is about to drift into a storm, Sign of power, show of force, Raise the anchor, battleship's plotting its course. Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel, Bismarck in motion, Queen of the ocean, She was made to rule the waves, Across the seven seas!"* Also tirpiz Idk why She's just hot in my eyes
“My Thoughts of my Azur Lane Waifu say about” Bataan- “She’s Violet Evergarden” Victorious- “She the most Underrated Illustrious Class sister there is and Deserves more love.” FDG- “I always wanted a Mommy that is German. And also freakishly Tall.” August Von Parseval- “She taken my Freedom and ill slain her Dragon.” Formidable- “I like very large Woman with thicc oppai. And how heavy she is- Yes. I’m gonna fluff her.” Aquila: “She just an Italian version of Illustrious.” *Proceed carrying her to my room that night* Roon- “I like Crazy, Yandere German Waifu with big Oppai and fluffing me that night.”
If Alaska ever gets into the game, this what I'm imagining: "Alaska: you like a bigger and sexier version of Baltimore, and are still pissed they struck her from the roster after four years of service and scrapped her in the 1960s.
Arizona/Juneau: she needs to be comforted and protected at all costs Pennsylvania: you like having a big sister who can protect you (PS, technically Bismarck was torpedoed by Dorsetshire before the scuttling charges detonated)
1:03 When I heard this voice line during exercise battles, my fight-or-flight kept getting activated to the point where I had to turn my volume all the way down. I kept thinking, "WHICH ONE KEEPS DOING THAT? WHO DO I KEEP OFF MY FLEET?!"
The captain of the Hipper actually praised Gloworms valor and his letter to the british via red cross was one of the resons her skipper got a Victora cross.
For Nevada, don't forget she also survived a constant 5 day long bombardment from every available ship (including USS Iowa) after the nukes and before she was torpedoed.
You should've kept the thumbnail one for Bismarck. Or added that in. Every fucking time someone mentions her, that fucking song has to be yelled at all caps. If only the OKM was smart enough to not send her convoy raiding, when she was a battleship, only with a heavy cruiser as an escort, when the enemy had aircraft carriers. Fucking brilliant.
Here's my long version: Yorktown - Irisviel with a flight deck strapped to her. Hipper - As flat as a flight deck, a bully material for Eugen. Warspite - The forrest gump of dreadnoughts by the Brits. A Jutland warrior and my fave granny. Graf Spee - damn it, Achilles and Ajax. Time to scuttle myself. Bataan - You just summoned the FILIPINOS. Long Island - Gets cuter when she tries to scare you. Chapayev - I like her Gulag skin. Vodka beauty she is.

Durable enough to survive two nukes. Nevada - *SHOUNEN Intensifies* Jean Bart - Battle of Casablanca go brrrrr. Gets some Yuri artwork with Massachusetts. Bismarck - Deutsche Qualitat. Got Winston Churchill shaking in his boots. Baltimore - Best Tomboy in AL. Absolute Wife Material. Her L2D looks delish. MUST SMASH Zuikaku - Has a thing for Enterprise. And loves Shrimp Tempura. MUST SMASH. Shoukaku - Damn she knew how to play flute. Must SMASH. Indianapolis - Secret Objective: Carry out materials to create nukes and to be used in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Prinz Eugen - still chillin' upside down somewhere in Atoll. Absolutely HORNI. MUST SMASH FdG - BOOUUUYAAAAAA UvH - Edgy H-Klasse Slachtschiffe Enterprise - OWARI DAAAA. Proceeds to get more than 20 Battle Stars New Jersey - Operation Desert Storm go brrrrrrr. Rascal Does Not Dream about Bunny Girl Black Dragon. Taihou - pls don't let Albacore go close to me. MUST SMASH Hakuryuu - Uses Katana to chop her food. Cheshire - still a stupid cat with HE power Tirpitz - Damn. I became a Knife. Fvck you Tallboys. Dunkerque - I guess I'll end up as a tank. Richelieu - One pretty Baguette with a French Burnt Toast sister. Shimakaze - Still underwater in Leyte Gulf. Noshiro - Thank you Atdan for making her a cute tomato. Independence - Thank you Atdan for making her damn pretty. Crossroad nukes go brrrrrr Centaur - Date Reiko (Fault! Series) with a Bow and Arrow. Sasuga Tony-sama. Ryuuhou - Another Tony Taka creation. Damn good looking legs. Mainz - still no skin and it's 2022. Drake - I just wanna slap her ass. Dido, Sirius, Charbydis - PAIZURI MAIDO Curacoa & Curlew - They both kinda look like Miss Congeniality with a maid dress on. Sheffield - Guns blazinggggggg with no pantsu Belfast - Damn I wanna visit her museum. Bel x Enty Yuri go brrrrr Edinburgh - Gets sunk while carrying 400+ gold bars. Clumsy as heck but definitely cute. Arizona - Absolutely precious. Must protecc. Still leaks black tears everyday. Bremerton - Still lewded to this day. BIG HONKERS. Formidable - The ship that launched herself. Don't call her heavy. Peter Strasser - Kurumi with Dio's Za Warudooooo Howe - The pretty cookie of the KGV Class. Sasuga Snow-sama Duca Degli Abruzzi - Ohisashiburi lewds her a lot. Wears prosthetic arm like Violet Evergarden. MUST SMASH VV, Marco Polo and Littorio - ITS PIZZA TIME. In Mussolini's country. Belorussiya and Rossiya - *Proud USSR Moment* MUST SMASH
2:45 Fat Electrician would like a word with you on what is the best Battleship in the world. Like, no Iowa-Class Battleship is dry humping the seabed doing there best submarine impression.
Completely accurate Yorktown, though, I'd add we are still waiting for an upgrade kit to her Essex class variant. I also like the Lonely Queen of the North.
Yeah OC Gangsta, Hood was the victim of sheer bad luck when a weak spot exposed by Hood's own bow wave and trough during the final turn, A design flaw that could not have been foreseen
Slightly unpopular opinion: I like Tirpitz better. She may not have accomplished as much or achieved such legendary infamy as her older sister, but she was an improved design and honestly cost the brits more time, money and energy than Bismarck ever did, thus gaining more actual purpose.
Also the fact that the word "ship" is masculine in Russian language making chapayev (also Tallin, Kirov, destroyers currently present in game, sovetskyi soyuz, gangut and Kronstadt) men, or boats that have zero relation to proper ships
Loved the video @OC Gangsta! Can't wait for the next video man! Warspite was Decommissioned in 1943 only to be Recommissioned in 1944 for the Normandy Landings as well as the Later Operations like the Walcheren Landings. And as for my Favorite Azur Lane Waifu's, I've got Metric, Imperial and American Butt-Tons of them as listed below (P.S. I haven't watched Niklasso in a while, thanks for reminding me. Also, Check out Nikkasme's Channel, specifically his "If the Ship Girls of Azur Lane had their own Theme song" series.) Eagle Union: Hornet, Nevada, San Diego, North Carolina, Arizona and Pennsylvania, West Virginia, South Dakota and Massachusetts, Northampton, Langley, Rhode island (Really man, What in God's name was that, and Bataan's segment), Honolulu, Helena, St. Louis, Brooklyn, Vestal, and Anchorage. Royal Navy: Hood (Currently Fighting Anime Anarchy over her), AZ's "Princess of the Cairncorns" Prince of Wales (Yes, I will Fight you like Dartangion did with Cardinal Richealiu's Men in the First "3 Musketeers" Movie for Wales), Duke of York, Howe (That Blue Eyed Cookie Monster), Belfast, Unicorn, Illustrious (Fighting @Doujingod78 over her as well), Formidable, And to an extent Victorious Iron Blood: Prinz Eugen (First Ship Girl Crush and Also Survived both Tests at Bikini Atoll only to capsize and later, in about 2008/2012 thereabouts, needed to have the Fuel Oil that was still aboard siphoned out. I guess she just lost it, if you know what I mean 😉😉), Köln, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Nürnberg, Prinz Heinrich Sakura Empire: Zuikaku, Atago (Nee-Sama), Shinano, Mikasa (Baka!), Sugura, Kashino (Praise the Cow!!!), Kumano (Azur Lane's Dress up Darling LMAO!), Suzuya (Darling in The Lane), Yamashiro, and Naka Other Camps: Richealiu, Jean Bart, Littorio, Vittorio Venetto, Zara, Pola, Duca Degli Abruzzi, Chapeyev, Gangut, Sovietsky Rossiya, Ning Hai and Ping Hai. Yandere Squad (Akagi, Taiho, Atago, Jun'yo, Dido, Unicorn, and Roon) and Starter Squad will always be Protected by me. Well, You did ask!
Honestly, at this point you’ve covered 3 or 4 of my top 5 Azur Lane waifus (Belfast, Ayanami, Atago, and Zuikaku) but where the heck is Howe (the 5th place). I mean, she’s adorable and loves cookies, what else can I say?
One thing about Nevada she also had a scuttled charge detonated on her have had destroyers, cruisers, and battleships which include Iowa class firing at her for five days. She gave the US navy a middle finger before she sank.
Surprisesed you did not use the U.S.S. Indianapolis tale from later on in the film Fun fact: it was oceanic white tips that killed the men from the Indianapolis, not great whites.
Me, personally, after watching this video: -Yorktown: mommy sister, arguably the best of the three. -Admiral Hipper: Hehe Prinz Eugen's sister jokes go brrrrrr -Warspite: BRO SHE HAS NO PANTS LIKE WTF -Graf Spee: Gawr Gura, re-done by an Azur Lane developer. -Bataan: What about the Phillipines...? -Long Island: Doesn't get enough attention, she WAS the first carrier you get, the second shipgirl you obtain, and is cool in evey way and all of her skins are super cool. -Chapayev: Badass Russian bias mommy. -Hood: Queen Elizabeth, but actually a queen. -Glowworm: ARK ROYAL WAS **THIS** CLOSE TO, er, 'healing' HER!! -Helena: Is overshadowed by her sisters, but Brooklyn is still hot. -Nagato: Is the best battleship of all of them, she is an amazing empress, hail Nagato in all of her glory. -Nevada: STOP EATING MY CUBES YOU LITTLE SH - -Jean Bart: pirate mommy. -Bismarck: close second to Nagato, hail Ironblood. -Essex: welp, now we've got THREE of them simping over Enterprise. As if Vestal and Zuikaku wasn't bad enough... -Baltimore: her sister looks like Honolulu -Avrora: Bro she literally offered to take her clothes off right then and there, Russian waifu material right here. -Shropshire: CUBE-EATING LITTLE MOTHERF - -Zuikaku: Has a thing for Enterprise, yes. -Shokaku: Is actually a good flutist. -Indianapolis: Bro we NEED more Portland x Indy material (Sorry if this might have been unnecessary, and I know this is kinda looked down on in the Yt community, but this guy is actually makes a lot of agreeable points.)
As a guy who loves a lot of things about Germans, both medieval and modern, owned an RC Tiger tank when I was 8, currently studying Deutsch (A2 is pretty difficult to memorize and it's really hard to get into B1). Ja.. du kannst mich Wehraboo heißen.
0:30 YES. A HUNDRED TIMES YES. "Say, Reggie, should we save the most battle-honored vessel in Royal Navy history?" "Oh, you mean the one that traded shots with Italian, Japanese AND German capital ships in two world wars?" "Don't forget the longest-distance successful artillery strike in Human history." "Oh, yeah......................... Nah. Scrap 'er." "Yeah, you're right." RIP Grande Ol Lady.
Eh, preserving warships wasn't really a thing at the time and everyone was broke from the war. With only really two exceptions, the only large warships to be preserved survived at least into at least the 60s in some manner of reserve capacity. Nobody was going to preserve a beat up old ship like Warspite. Not unlike how the US didn't bother preserving Enterprise because the US had an abundance of more modern carriers, meaning there wasn't really any value in even keeping her in the reserve fleet, and ship preservation just wasn't really a thing
