🌱 Hello Andrew, nice to hear you again!!!!! ☘️ More Dual of Giants n Up Front plz, , Brawling Batteries ,ha Ha ,ok partie , good morning Sir 🙏
Thank you once again Andrew. This was very well timed as I've recently aquired the board game. This episode provided a much enjoyable background upon the involved ships.
Excellent review of these two Andrew. Nice work.
I'd recommend the book by Helion " A carrier at risk" . It give a very good insight into the Argentine use of '25 de Mayo' and coverage of the ship itself…definitely worth a read.
Cheers
Happy Wanderer
I used to play a lot of Harpoon (both the paper game and PC game) back into the late 80’s and early 90’s. it was always fun to see the changes made to these older ship in order to bring them up to modern war, well modern at the time. In 80’s you could still find lots of WWII ships in many navies around the world, upgraded and still extremely active. These ships are now all retired, turn into scraps or if they had a certain reputation turn into museums around the world.
Andrew,
I hope you are well.
Great to see another instalment of Ships of War, many thanks. My big take away from this one is how old these ships really were.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
All the best
Doug
Why cant V De mayo cant launch those 8 skyhawks?(at least in context of the game) Didnt Argentina attack landings with skyhawks?
I enjoyed your video, Andrew! I saw you in a War Stories series. Your narration skills are superb, as is your technical insight into ships.
