Amazing video like always. The pictures of the sunken Kure fleet where some of the main things that got me into the history of the pacific war when I was little, so I’m really glad you cover two of the most interesting ships (at least design wise) in said fleet.
excellent presentation. i've been a naval buff since i was a kid and the pics you've showed are truly cool. your articulation of the damage to each vessel is very interesting. thx!
It's kind of fitting that Ise and Hyuuga sank together, especially since the last of the Kongou class sank nearby. While there are no wrecks left of the three, none of them went unseen for decades like the other lost ships.
3:08 it's honestly baffling and sad to hear this heavy of a death toll for a non-functional ship 😔😔 . I imagined the crew on board would be severely reduced, down to 300 at most (since main guns and flight deck were useless by 1945)
If you're referring to the circular feature in the water near the shoreline, that is indeed the crater from a near miss, probably from a 500lb or 1,000lb bomb. There are several of these still visible today on Håkøya Island caused by the Tallboy bombs used to sink Tirpitz in Operation Catechism.
Looking at the angle of the guns in Ise's No.2 turret, do you believe the crew could have been using the Type 3 AA shell? As mentioned, by this point they were floating AA batteries, so it doesn't seem totally implausible to me.
I guess they kept trying to fight the ships. It would have been better if those ships had been evacuated. At that point it was a waste of lives having not done so.
Didn't realize someone could be butt hurt on this channel because they wished it could had been memorialized and consistently removing my post about this ship, for its sinking courtesy of the US Navy. Thus, memorializing it to say do not to attack the USA. If the author is removing my posts, I demand an explanation. If it's a so-called viewer and you can't say why, then go hide behind your monitor. My dad fought in WWII, I served, and your wimpy attitude tells me you didn't, and I served for your right to be able to post freely, but you won't let me.... hypocrite.
I haven’t deleted any comments. RUclips can and will randomly delete things, and I have no control over that. It’s deleted *my* replies to comments before. There’s not much I can do about it.
@@skyneahistory2306 I sincerely appreciate the response. To have posts deleted and not get a notification as to why is ridiculous. Again, I thank you for replying, I really do like your video content.
DEAR FRIEND! THIS IS THE PROBLEM OF ALL RUclips USERS! IT IS THE HYPOCRITE RUclips HIMSELF WHO DELETES COMMENTS AND DOESN'T EVEN SEND NOTIFICATIONS THAT YOUR POST HAS BEEN DELETED.
It’s amazing how rural and isolated this part of Japan looks, especially for what was supposedly a major naval base.
Really appreciate you covering these less famous ships!
Those outrageous Pagoda Mast were great
Again , a great vid on subjects that I've read about but not viewed pictures of... Very Nice job!!!

It's impressive how many conversions they had, Battleships to Battlecruisers to Hybrid Carriers and finally as Submarines.
The last one is quite humorous. 👍

Good work on less well known but interesting part battleship, part carrier
Very interesting topic keep it up the great work 🎉
Awesome video.
Great video 😊
👍🏻🏴
A real shame these steel leviathans only survive in pictures
You do know what they were built for, right? Good riddance!
@@ShadowsOnTheScreen the same thing that castles were built for, and people are pretty keen on those...
@@ShadowsOnTheScreen The same reason why any piece of military history was built for, What is your point?
@@ShadowsOnTheScreen Ban all weapons,and you get survival of the fittest,strongest...and the one who can throw stones the best...
Those flyboys certainly liked taking low angle photos.
00:14:34 There's a bomb crater visible in the shallow water near the shoreline.
9:25 photo and some earlier photos seems to show a twisting of the hull around number 4 turret, to port as though the keel has broken.
At the very center of the picture at 12:58 the lowest of the pagodas levels behind turret two, looks like a dragons head.
@14:35 note the bomb crater underwater at the lower right.

Your the best 🙈
Even in those black and white photos, you can see the oil leaking away.
There's still oil coming out of Arizona and Royal oak
Are those bomb impact craters im seeing next to the ship at the 14:58 min.mark?

@@doktorjohann4883 thx dok
where about its kure were they? ive been to the yamato museum you can feel the history in the port

I wonder how many Toyotas they made out of these ships ?
Now you know why they rust out so soon.
Razor blades
Tons of American ships went the scrap yards after the war. Wonder how many Fords was made with jt?
That looks like a Cleveland class light cruiser moored beyond Nagato at 13.10 of the video. Can't read the hull number so don't know which ship it is.
What happen to the IJN sukameracocie
アップロード👍
I've spent my life pronouncing Kure , like cure not Kuray
Somewhere I have a waterline model of the Ise.
I guess they kept trying to fight the ships. It would have been better if those ships had been evacuated. At that point it was a waste of lives having not done so.
200 bombs dropped on a stationary ship and only 5 hots is a disturbingly low performance rate by US strike aircraft?
This video shows the ISE or HYUGA in color, and high definition.

Too bad Japan wasn't allowed to keep one as a memorial ship.
It was memorialized, ...don't attack the US and this won't happen to you.
Was never going to happen. Just like the Germans were never going to be allowed to keep the Prinz Eugen for the same reasons.
Another every ship needs to be a memorial tool.
@pickeljarsforhillary102 which they could easily have been !

What a pile of useless junk. What was the Japanese navy thinking when they converted these ships into quasi aircraft carriers?
They were thinking the US wiped out all of their carriers.
