When a Submarine ‘Sank’ a Train 

Hey yarnhub! I love the animations and to see how far you have come!

@@K33GRT7N Im sorry but the animation for the train is so awfully done, the drive rods are clipping through the cylinders, the tender isn't where it should be, the models are not accurate at all to what was used on japanese rail lines, just...so many issues and inaccuracies....none of these history channels ever manage to get trains right. tanks, ships, and aircraft yes, but trains? for some reason they're considered an afterthought...

Yarnhub your train looks awful like what in gods name is that supposed to be

Was that a Snatch style intro? Hahaha. I’ve done it myself. Did it on several TV shows. Your only missing the ramp speed snap zooms before and after the stills.

Can you see about doing a vid on fort drum in the Philippines during WWII aka "USS NO GO"

it was awesome!!!

Including a cook! I laughed at that

the landing party was chosen one person from each section of the boat so that in the event they were all killed or captured it would not negatively impact the performance of any of the sections

@@brandonferretti9907lol yeah sending the cook in to guard the op was hilarious and badass.

There’s a whole book about the Barb by Fluckey himself called, “Thunder Below”. A passage is read from it for most submariners when they qualify for submarine warfare

they wanted to make americans " *subscribe* to the ideals of fascism" " *like* the imperial army" and " *share* the glory of the emperor with the rest of the world"

Psyops were the real deal back then.

no that's the american propaganda. they probably wrote it like "ライク、コメント、アンド　サブスクライブ"

@@_ichsanni8294 yeah but how were the submarine crews supposed to read that. Gotta remember it was a target audience.

​@@PancakeBoiI'm pretty sure even in an alliance with Fascismo Italy and Nazi Germany, Japan didn't copy them, I heard there was a Japanese fascist party attempting to influence Tokyo but then they couldn't If anything, the kind of government Imperial Japan at the time was one that would royally piss off Emperor Meiji bcuz his restoration got disrespected real hard

Truly

Will always support these guys. Such an awesome team they have

Omg I remember when they where like a cartoon now they are on Hollywood level!

truly

Oh that book i recently read!

USS Mudskipper does not seem to appear outside of this comment and a 50 Dollar book? The story of this video is about USS Barb. If you want to read abouth the story of the actual submarine that carried out hte attack look up the book "Thunder Below: The USS Barb Revolutionizes Submarine Warfare in World War II"

@@Allstar67676 written by her commander.

@@Allstar67676The comment explicitly says “based on and inspired” which means it’s not real

The actual story from the real commander is “Thunder Below! The USS Barb revolutionizes submarine warfare” by Eugene B. Fluckey I’ve read it 3 or 4 times now HIGHLY recommend it.

@Yarnhub I’m a massive fan

Well Lucky Flucky/The Galloping Ghost of the China coast and his crew were both lucky and good

X2 my british plane camrade

same

Well they could shoot a torp to a bridge un a river

Wait...how long did he live?

i would say the same. If my great grandfather didn't command the ill-fated Uss Shark ss-174. First submarine to be the flagship of the Asiatic Fleet when she ferried Admiral Thomas C Hart off of Manila . Shark is officially recognized as the first U.S. Submarine lost to enemy action in WWII. later in the war Shark 314 was commissioned and sunk making those two the only two submarines in ww2 to both sink with the same name

I don’t know, the submarine alone may not be the biggest by tonnage but the weight of their balls certainly beat out the carriers for tonnage.

he did a little trolling on that sailor

There was also the superstition that they had to put some beer in the cooler or they wouldn't have a 'lucky' day hitting targets.

@@9foxgrl15 this 5th patrol sure made em believe that superstition 😂

LMAO that’s some next level trolling

I dont about a movie Studio, but they Are making A movie with Sabaton as we speak!!!!!

the bird on the periscope is my favourite

@@cludecat7072whatever floats your train

Agree completely, both that entire war patrol for the Barb and the one before it deserve to have full videos. Also, Richard O’Kane and the USS Tang need Yarnhub videos.

They should do Fluckeys MOH patrol into Nam Quan harbor.

or if that guard survived and what kind of hell did he have to face after ? 🤣

​@@skepticalmagos_101 According to the animation he didn't survive. His tower was destroyed by the train wreckage, starting at 8:07 .

'or did they gather Americans had been there?' Well, maybe the rocket's and torpedoes gave it away....??????

@@berryrijnbeek5938eah, but that’s only a submarine and in water, not actual attacks on land by ground troops.

japanese citizen here, i completely think that imperial japan was wrong and that those americans were right to do what they did,it angers me to see people saying lies like we're not teaching kids about pearl harbor or unit731

Agreed

Splice the mainbrace. A truly great book.

@@iluvyummywaffles Be sure to put 4 cases of beer in the cooler

@@KyoOnTheInternet I was trying to remember how many cases. Thanks

She was still Yamato class, she just dropped the "battleship" part due to the conversion, the only of the supposed 5 battleships to be a Yamato class Aircraft carrier, and the last of the 5 built, with hull 4 being scrapped and used convert to the Ise class into hybrids.

Ok, thanks

What about Ramage's Rampage? 1 American submarine sank 5 Japanese ships in just 5 minutes.

@@BattleshipOrion there was no yamato class aircraft carrier. the Shinano was a unique class of ship being a carrier based on a Yamato hull. that doesn't make her a Yamato class

That wasn’t why Shinano was converted to a carrier. In December 1941 the Japanese revamped their naval construction plans to put all further battleship construction on hold for now (this was shortly after Force Z); Yamato was already fully operational and Musashi had been launched at this point, but Shinano was still a very long way off from completion, so it was decided that they’d build her only to the point she could be launched so the dock she was in could be used for something else, and then decide what to do with her later. And then Midway happened. Now, Japan actually had a surprising number of carriers (including their two best carriers) in the field and a number of carriers under construction or planned ahead of time even before Midway, so Midway wasn’t actually this complete destruction of Japanese carrier power that people sometimes think it was (they didn’t even get rid of that many pilots-that was during Guadalcanal later on). But they still figured that this was as good an excuse as any to turn Shinano into a carrier.

I love how they build on top of each other. Fat electrician gives you that introductory course with the “this kick ass thing happened” and yarn hub comes in and goes “now that I don’t have to explain the who, I’ll explain the how” I love it

Sorry for that(

Sorry about them destroying a train 😅

Lucky Flucky

@@jacobnugent8159 hell yea!

Yeah while this is still a great story people forget that numerous British subs blew up/shot trains in the Med, so Barb is hardly the only one (but definitely unique for it being on Japan)

​​@@MetalRodenteah and they do get the exclusive honour of being the only Allied forces to invade the Japanese home islands

Thanks for pinning me I really appreciate it man just don’t mind the haters

PQ17? Aka the convoy that ended in disaster?

Thank you for your kind support!
