They f*** around and found out. In four years later we vaporized a few hundred thousand of them

Sounds Like Gender is a social Construct
You'd be better off watching the movie "Tora Tora Tora"
uS ships tend to follow a certain set of rules for naming.
Carriers are named after presidents, but there are a bunch of legacy names we use like enterprise, Nimitz(admiral) ext.
Battleships are named after states.
Cruisers are named for important battles
Destroyers are named after navy and marine heros/leaders
Subs are kinda scattershot, they are named after states, cities, and they all use to be named after fish. Fear the USS guppy 😉
When I was stationed on a submarine at Pearl Harbor we usually tied up just across from the Arizona Memorial. It was almost surreal going to the boat everyday, and looking across to the memorial.
Had the Japanese chose to attack the fuel farm during those 2 waves, they wouldn't have lost 4 of their carriers in one battle six months later. Three of them were destroyed within 5 minutes. We wouldn't have been able to do any fighting anywhere far from Hawaii.
I don't know if Gaynor or Sophie caught the footnote about The USS Phoenix "would later be sold to the Argentinian Navy and become the ARA General Belgrano. She would be sunk during the Falklands War." The Belgrano was the one that Margaret Thatcher took so much heat from the British media for sinking. There was a talk show interview I've seen on youtube talking about the "Sinking of the Belgrano" where Thatcher was visibly angry with a woman in the audience who questioned her for it. Thatcher staunchly defended herself. Weird coincidence!
What they didn't say was that Japan had dignitaries on another ship (I can't remember where though)…they were in talks that morning to sign a treaty
rip to the sailors
How the nuts did Japan think this wouldn’t make us jump up and start punching? We aren’t known for our modesty and humility in the face of insult or injury.
This guy's videos on the Battle of Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway are must watch.
That's in chronological order following the attack on Pearl Harbor.. He paints an amazing picture by going through the timelines and the perspective of each side.
I love it when you guys do history reactions
It's ok if you guys watch less of these military videos. I was bored out of my mind here. Lol.
The narrator needs to read a real history book or maybe have an education beyond the fifth grade.
Calls in to the Honolulu Police Department were recorded; they're on YouTube.
Japan had seized Manchuria in 1931; they had been on the move in the Pacific. They wanted it all. We thought the attack would come in the Philippines, the main U. S. possession. It did–the next day. They went after the fleet at anchor first. Our carriers were elsewhere, however. The Enterprise was headed towards Pearl, but was about 150 miles away when the attack began; she had been, fortunately, slowed by a storm.
"This is no joke. This is a REAL WAR".
The warlords in Tokyo allowed their diplomats in Washington to keep talking, even as the attack began. Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura, a trained naval officer who, like Isoroku Yamamoto, had lived in the United States, later said that he must have been the most uninformed diplomat in history about what was really going on.
The carrier Akagi was Vice-Admiral Chuichi Nagumo's flagship. She was sunk six months later at Midway, along with Hiryu, Soryu, and Kaga.
Mitsuo Fuchida, leader of the first wave, became intrigued with Christianity and forgiveness. He became an evangelist. He died in 1976.
All BBs (Battleships) were named for states. Now, it's submarines. There is the Virginia Class of Fast Attack Subs (22 boats at this time), and the Ohio Class of Ballistic Missile Subs (18 boats at this time).
The 2001 film "Pearl Harbor" is terrible. If you really want to see a film about the Pearl Harbor attack, watch "Tora, Tora, Tora" from 1970. It follows both the US and the Japanese actions, with Richard Fleischer directing the US part, and Toshio Masuda and Kinji Fukasaku directing the Japanese part.
Japan, like many enemies of the US mistake our love of peace for weakness. Americans have an inner strength and love of country that is underestimated by our enemies.
My Uncle was there! He was the only one in his compartment to survive the attack. He was unable to sleep in as it was warm, so he got up and went for a walk. He was later assigned to the armed guard escorting the convoys to the U.K. and Russia. He was torpedoed and ended up in the water of the North Atlantic two times as German U-Boats sank the ships he was on. He lived to an old age.
My father went to the Pacific as part of the replacement soldiers for those killed at Pearl Harbor. He was 18 years old. He later went to the Philippines to help retake Luzon, He was shot 3 times in the chest and once in the right shoulder on his 20th birthday. His helmet was also blown off by shrapnel. He was left for dead, and later found to be alive. He remembered a doctor leaning over him saying, "I think I can save him." He was in the hospital for over 4 months, but, thankfully did survive. He lived to age 92. He didn't talk about the war until very late in his life, but I heard him say many times that Japan woke a sleeping giant at Pearl Harbor.
Back in the olden days people would name their sailing vessel after a goddess or mother figure to protect or even something as simple as the owners wife's name. There is also a phenomena of once you name something it gives it more value to you so you put more effort into maintaining it as you would a child. There's a lot of reasons why vehicles are domesticated in a way. A vessel could also be seen as a women carrying a child. So in a sense, since the vehicle is carrying a life (you) its a mother figure therefore a she.
Great video ladies! 😊
