Wait….. What….. Were not in Chicago ????? LOL
Better to serve the country as target practice than end up in the breakers yard. We still have the USS TEXAS. Thanks to Ryan for posting.
She was a "good" ship. If they couldn't save CV 6 then no ship was safe. It is fitting that NCC 1707 was named in honour of the carrier that fought alone against the whole of the kitobutti
uss navada last word: you betrayed me after all i've done
No offense but Arizona is a Pennsylvania class battleship and not a Nevada class therefore the Arizona and the Nevada are not sister-ships
Thank you so much for this video. I had a first blood uncle on the Nevada. My mother's brother, George Maiella, the son of Italian immigrants. My uncle was assigned to the Nevada after she was repaired. He was on the old ship to his last days of active duty. Now, as an 80 year old man, I still remember seeing him, proudly wearing his Navy uniform before he mustered out of active duty. My uncle was very 'emotional' about HIS ship, the Nevada.
She was a great lady she deserved better but at least she lives on at the bottom unlike what the British did to the warspite
It would be neat if they could find the Oklahoma
Anybody know a source that explains the bombardment of Nevada? I have never seen such but have not given up hope LOL. When speaking about the sinking of Nevade – the real problem supposedly occurred after the first atom bomb when the inspection crew could not go near it because of the radiation. That might be true but still it was pretty pissy to use those ships in an experiment like that instead of allowing them to be museums. We had a perfectly fine Japanese battleship we could have tested with and myriad other ships ()Of the standard battleships California, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi all survived the war and are states that have ocean access. We could have saved those older ships for display but only USS Texas which was not a great example of those ships was saved. Now of the newer ships North Carolina, Alabama, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Missouri were all conserved. Showing that the older ships could have been also',
1:53 The United States never declared war against the Triple Alliance because it did not exist. The Triple Alliance was formed on 20 May 1882 when the Kingdom of Italy joined the Dual Alliance of Germany and Austria-Hungary. It was dissolved on 3 May 1915 when Italy abrogated the treaty to align herself with Triple Entente (France, the U.K., and Russia). Thereafter, the former Triple Alliance became the Central Powers. The United States became a combatant power in the First World World through two separate declarations. The first was issued on 4 April 1917 against Germany alone. On 7 December 1917, another declaration of war was issued against Austria-Hungary.
Disgrace?? how? She had a glorious career! fought more than most ships in history. So instead of being scrapped, she was used to make sure her granddaughters was up to date for the next conflict. and then she became one of the most beautiful things in the world – a station posted around Hawaii, like her sister. Not a wreck,a reef of life.
So you Yanks won WWII You`ve screwed up ever since – Go in and KICK ASS NOW – should have done Stalin too?
Id take a Nevada or Iowa class ship over any of the ships we have now!
If anyone wants a more detailed history of the Nevada, I would highly recommend reading "Silver State Dreadnought" by Stephen M. Younger.
Mr. Sokesh is such an awesome narrator but I can't help but notice how he butchers a relatively simple-ish word every now and then By no means am I speaking down on him, just a casual observation.
American Made 🦅
The ship shown @13:25 is either the USS New York, or the USS Texas, as it has 5 twin turrets.
The UK Youtuber Drachinifel has a excellent 3 part video series on the the USN Salvage operations after the Pearl Harbor attack . https://www.youtube.com/@Drachinifel/search?query=pearl%20harbor%20salvage . Also He has a great 1:54:00+ video on the Pearl Harbor Attack itself as well as a Hour video theories on what actually sunk the Arizona
And now china is scouring the ocean for war ship wrecks and using high underwater explosives to break them apart and salvage them for recycling.
They are going after underwater war graves and destroying the resting places of hundreds of thousands of sailors just for the steel.
That would be like digging up their people for gold and silver teeth and other trinkets. Leave it to china to do something so low and disrespectfully degrading to heroes resting in peace.
To call this a disgrace is the height of stupidity. Nevada served to the end, and continues to serve.
Nevada is not a boat, she was a ship!
Please do a video about our Intel, what we knew and what we let happen😢 and why.
Such a amazing dreadnought. The Nevada deserved better.
The reason why Iowa was unable to sink Nevada was that Iowa struggled to hit Nevada at long range. At the time, it was widely believed that the fire control radar (based on the Mark 13 radar range keeper) aboard Iowa would enable her to do so with unprecedented long- range accuracy. However, they navy knew little about shell dispersion- the tendency of shells fired from a turret to interfere with one another's flight path.
The actual bombardment in July of 1948 lasted for five days- after which the force, comprising Iowa and a cruiser and destroyer, abandoned the attempt. Nevada was then sunk by air- dropped torpedo attack.
My dad served on her during the Pacific invasions after Pearl Harbor ❤
Thank you for the honor you gave her here.
I thought she was found upright with her flag still flying
What a shame. Imagine Pearl Harbor today with a shiny new looking Nevada moored to the right of the Arizona and Missouri on the left. What a fine tribute it would have been. Hindsight.
Sailors are good for a ride to the fighting.
Title is click bait
i fail to see ANY disgrace here, but then again, i guess your not a navy man, so you wouldnt know any better…
The flat top shape, low center left.. 12:56… Is that the Saratoga?
