Damn they really sent a BB with pontoons keeping it afloat into battle
3:42 "Ws lost 214 crew" on a blocked shot. If that's a blocked shot, I'd hate to see a penetrating one!
Does this get boring for you? I mean you just literally annihilate everything you come up against! I think you lost 1 destroyer and a cruiser, and have sunk at least 50+ ships. Does the AI ever put up a real fight?
Britain = battle of the Bahamas.
Admiral: we seem to have a problem with our ships!
Can't wait for the invasion of Malta.😉
Memes about this campaign:
Belgium in this campaign is like ,"America is raiding a convey? SIGN ME THE CRAP UP!" They are like your sidekick to kicking England's butt in this war.
Also USS Alaska; "so anyway, I started blasting."
I wish the battle wouldn't stop on a convoy battle after you sink the defending ships since you still have to find and sink the transports and expend ammunition to do it. Once you sink the defending ships its like UA:D just handwaves the ammunition expenditures to kill the transports.
How about a naval invasion of Newfoundland?
I like das moss says. Taking the time on the shared files to give the ai some decent designs makes it harder and better
your video with Drachinifel for the BB league summary is set to private. Any reason why?
So my computer won’t play the game, it is really old and I’m going to be slowly upgrading this year but I do have a question, I do have a slight love for the small destroyer escorts in ww2. Samuel B Roberts type. I think they are just cool looking. Is that something that UAD campaign would work? Having a squad of these for port, and also having them out run escorting warships from the transports and just sink the transports? Just some single 5s, a triple launcher and then everything else in displacement in armor, torpedo protection, engine, and shells? Or is it just better with your designs? I do love the videos and I miss the whacky songs for intermission. Great change of pace and maybe if there is other countries songs doing it for them as well. Thanks for your work

Convoy off the Belgium Coast
The Royal Navy should really understand by now that Britannia does no longer rule the waves. Especially knowing that HMS Britannia now resides below them. But undaunted by facts, the Royal Navy sailed a major convoy of ten transports right down the Belgium coast.
Well, ships of the Gibraltar Task Force, led by the Puerto Rico class battlecruiser USS Alaska, and supported by our allies the Royal Belgium Navy in their own home waters in the form of the light cruiser Canberra, and joined by the heavy cruiser USS Norfolk, encountered a strong cruiser escort of HSM Southampton, HMS Hogue, HMS Tribune and HMS Castor along with escorting destroyers HMS Setter and HMS Sorceress. The British squadron tried to sail a course parallel and in reverse direction from the allied ships, at extreme range, not realizing that the improved range finding devices of the USN were able to detect the enemy transports. Taking full advantage of the situation, and relying on the USS Alaska’s speed and range, the transports were taken under fire and sunk. The British merchant marine lost the Erne, Vivian, Undine, Vesulam, Prince, Worcestor, Earnest, Brazen Vittoria, and W, a total of 88,000 tons of shipping. All four British cruisers were also sunk. USN losses were one man killed when the HMS Hogue hit the USS Norfolk. Royal Navy and British Merchant Marine losses were reported to be over 4800.

Knocking Their Socks Off
The United States Navy light cruiser USS Tacoma escorted by the Royal Belgium Navy destroyer Chase, operating in the Irish Sea, encountered a convoy of 12 transports near the Scottish coast protected by the Royal Navy heavy cruiser HMS Argyll. The Argyll bore into the Tacoma and Chase, giving the transports a chance to reach safe harbor, before the allies were able to destroy her.
No US or Belgium sailors were lost, but the entire complement of 606 Royal Navy personnel are believed to have perished in the cold waters of the Irish Sea in late January.

Battleship Brawl at Bahamas
The East Coast Fleet, under the lead of the Standard class flagship USS Wyoming, covering the landings of the 1st Marine Division against Freeport in the Grand Bahamas, was forced to make steam and sail to intercept a large force of the Royal Navy headed by the HMS Albion battleship. The USS New Orleans, still damaged from its fight with the HMS Boadicea, was detached from the fleet and the remaining ships were the Montana class battleships USS Colorado, USS Louisiana, and the lead ship of the class the USS Montana, along with the light cruisers USS Quincy, USS Spokane, and USS Richmond and the destroyers USS McFaul, USS Cummings, and USS Gleaves of the Sampson class and USS Percival and USS Taylor of the Adams class. Supporting the HMS Albion were the HMS Britannia, HMS Hindustan, and HMS Caesar battleships, the light cruisers Hobart and Leander, and destroyers Oberon, Offa, Torbay and Whitshead.
The battle began with the American fleet making formation changes to meet the enemy, and the enemy closing to engage. The first hit was on the USS Quincy from a 16” shell from the HMS Britannia. This would be the only hit by the Royal Navy in the battle. The Britannia was sunk by counter-fire almost immediately. The light cruiser Leander was sunk, probably hit by a shell aimed at the HMS Albion. The Albion was sunk next. At this point the Brits turned away from the battle and the USS Richmond lead the cruiser squadron in pursuit while the American battle line maintained fire on the enemy. The HMS Hindustan was sunk, followed by the HMS Caesar. The remaining light cruiser HMS Hobart was sunk last. The Admiral commanding the East Coast Fleet ordered the pursuit of the four British destroyers ended and the fleet to return to covering the mop up operations on the Grand Bahamas.
Petition to the Ship design Board.
The Alaskan Oil Corporate Group requests the design and construction of a further 10 Icebreaking Hulls of suitable design and size to keep shipping lanes open into Anchorage Naval Base and Oil Transfer Station to ensure routine sustainment of supplies in and out of Anchorage Harbor.
Design requirements include: Icebreaker Bow, Maximum Engine power to push icebergs out of harm's way, large Caliber forward turrets to crack pack ice (mortars with short barrels are acceptable)
Whilst Large ships are best suited, continues Leasing of Lexington Hulls in winter months seems practicable, so more nimble ships of a lesser size are desirable.
Civilian Icebreakers currently are unavailable due to needs by the Navy for Reinforced Hulls.
Only you can save the jobs of the families of the Sailors in Anchorage Naval Base.
Yes, Canberra, the famous Australian-names American cruiser of the Belgian navy.
