The sky erupted in a hail of tracer fire as USS Shea’s guns roared to life. It was May 4, 1945, and the destroyer minelayer was fighting for survival off the coast of Okinawa. Just moments ago, a lone bomber had appeared on the horizon, breaking through the morning haze. Now, it plummeted from the sky in a trail of smoke and flame, victim to Shea’s lethal accuracy.
But there was no time for relief. Suddenly, a lookout’s voice cut through the din, edged with alarm. This was no ordinary threat. A Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka, a piloted missile born of Japan’s desperation, was streaking towards them from the starboard beam.
The Ohka closed the distance at over 450 knots, its pale gray form barely visible against the morning sky. Its 2,600-pound warhead promised utter devastation. The human-guided bomb, designed for a one-way mission, was moments away from impact. Its 16-foot wingspan belied its lethal purpose.
Shea’s crew of 336, veterans of countless Pacific battles, had mere seconds to react. Their 376-foot vessel, despite its impressive array of weaponry, suddenly felt terrifyingly vulnerable. The four 5-inch guns and numerous anti-aircraft mounts stood ready. The next moments would put USS Shea’s hard-earned nickname “Shootin’ Shea” to the ultimate test…

It sounds like the sailor that the ship named after deserves the Medal of Honor also.
Careful it is only human nature to act and react lazy and limited to what personal investments we have already given ourselves to in earnest. AI has a way of cutting up what little we are either willing to and or equipped to represent in words just what is important for you when you believe and more so if you are going to continue to invest in the principles holding what you believe fast and true no less clean. AI one word at a time can easily change what we intended to say. Innocently? Only as far as the first time you notice your words are in line and they are neat and tidy but in no way do thy say what you intended them to. Stay vigilant people there are merely more snakes in the grass today than ever before. Keep working but feel grateful God has given you life.
AI help by adding torpedoes to Shea? 08:04
5:44. She carried 6 5/38s. Per wiki
I served on USS Wasp LHD 1 2000-03…
"…rendered helpless…" or, "…sprang into action…"; "…returned to Philadelphia…" get your hyperbole straight.
As much as you're pushing AI in your ads I'm thinking that your videos are AI products
Pimping INvideoAI feels akin to being a salesperson for a pharmaceutical company.
There was a time when man fought man . We have entered an age where black box fights black box .
I have never heard of the Oka missile plane before, I am impressed Dark Seas! 😊
😅😅😅😅😅
The Okha carried a 2600 POUND warhead,. At 2600 pounds it was a very large warhead indeed in a time when a 2000 pound bomb was considered huge and powerful.
There is one of those piloted Okha bombs on display in the Marine Corps Air Museum at Quantico, Virginia.
Just standing there touching, and looking at it will make your blood run cold.
So basically I just fire up invideo AI, tell it "In the style of Dark Seas" create a 20 minute video about topic X, and I don't need to subscribe or like anymore huh?
Just a big ad, horrible
Timestamp 10:16…a 2600 pound warhead, not a 2600 ton…….which would be a 5,200,000 pound warhead!
I was stationed for three years on Okinawa in the mid 80's.
I got my dive certification there.
I can't tell you how much unspent munitions I saw laying on the sea floor.
I wish youtubers would do their research before making these. USS Shea didn't have an air search radar. The pictures you show are often of a destroyer escort, a smaller and very different ship. Not sure anyone has film of an Okha in flight, but these definitely weren't them. Dramatic, yes. Accurate, no.
There are a lot of unrelated random repeating scenes. I've never heard about any of this.
My BiL was on a troop ship among many others. It was the middle of the night and he was throwing his leg over the wall of his 40mm gun tub, where he was being relieved, when a flash of light from a nearby gun illuminated a Kamikaze streaking by so close he could have touched the wingtip had he been fast enough. He saw the white phosphorescence of the splash as it crashed between his ship and the next. He joined at 16 and lived to the ripe old age of 87. A good man.
Your voice sounds completely different, is it AI?
Fake misleading thumbnail image.
Dishonest! 👎👎👎
The actual story starts at 10 minutes in to the video. Just in case you wanted to see what the title promised.
AI is a joke and should be scrapped!
Dad was at Okinawa as a Coxwain of a 120 ft. LCT-6 when this rocket terror made it's debut. The 20 mm gunners of his vessel could not track such a fast incoming rocket powered manned missile like a slower prop driven Kamikaze aircraft . This had to be psychologically devastating to those that witnessed the speed of that beast . Our sailors were lucky the Japanese did not have very many such aircraft among the 2,000 Kamikaze aircraft most of which were not manned by highly trained pilots who were needed to help prevent the B-29's that were to rain hell on Japan after we gained land with enough space to operate B-29 bombers within striking range.
Dark Seas & and all the “Dark” channels. I’m glad AI is helping you, however, your voice and extremely interesting and professional narrative is what makes your channel so great. Just don’t lose that, please!
Your Dark series of channels is one of the best on YT; keep up the great work!!!
p.s. The channels that are 100% AI are awful, and painful to watch even for a minute.
Stop using and advertising AI!!!
The fresh air must be a pleasant surprise.
The statement about the cockpit being screwed shut is false. They had to enter the plane from the bomber, it was not screwed shut. Some prototypes did have screws to secure the canopy but ultimately was not done this way.
