For drydock: There were any pros in having older ships with cannons as primary arms, for fighting more modern vessels, like in the Belgrano or Brazil in the Lobster war did? (Even if some like the Iowas got modern anti ship armament).

The Brooklyn is what happens when Britain tells the USA and Japan they can't have any more heavy cruisers, and Japan makes a 15-gun light cruiser in response (even if it was a structurally-unsound mess that was just ferrying around turrets for the Yamato's secondary battery).

That's my father's ship, the USS Phoenix, sortieing out of Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7th. Battleship row is burning in the background. Dad was a junior gunnery officer and was situated up in Sky Forward.
I'm looking forward to individual histories. A very lucky class, the Brooklyns pulled their weight (and more during the Solomons campaign) during the war.
This ship is very special to me not only because I myself live in New York City and have been to Brooklyn numerous times but also because I had a relative who served the board the USS Brooklyn and this ship just might be my number 1 favorite watercraft ever
@@aldrinharlim In my experience, it is still pretty competitive. Probably not the best anymore, and while it is at a significant disadvantage at range, it is still a significant threat at closer ranges.
@@aldrinharlim look at the Armour of both ships... In many places the Brooklyn has more Armour and Hipper is a long range specialist and has bigger guns so it should have an advantage
@@Napalmratte So according to all the data and stuff i get, all of them are "equally" competitive, but still depends on the situation and who shot and land the hit first because if im not wrong Brooklyn still had the edge on rate of fire but it has less "damage" and will be outranged by any heavy cruisers.
Please consider a video on U.S.S. Abbot DD 629, which served in WW2, Korea, and was afloat up to 1975. Abbot rammed an aircraft carrier in 1943 and was able to continue under her own power to return for repairs.
The St Louis also served in the Brazilian navy as the Almirante Tamandaré. There is a great photo of her during operations related to the “lobster war” (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_St._Louis_(CL-49)#/media/File%3ABrazilian_cruiser_Tamandaré_(C12)_underway_with_destroyers_during_the_1961_Lobster_War.jpg). If this had actually led to a shooting match I bet it would have been able to outgun any surface combatants the French could field at that time.
it is interesting to note that the US more than one time used a Hull form one ship class for other Classes of Ships, with some alternations - well understandable - it saves costs -and more important time - of designing a hull completly from scratch and one can reley on the hulls known characteristics, as f.e. numbers and distribution of boyancy, needed horsepower for a desired speed e.t.c ...
Hello just to correct a mis information the ex-USS Nashville in the Chilean Navy CL Prat was never renamed Chacabuco in fact this name was given to the 3 French Batral class bought for the Chilean Navy in the 80,s. Chacabuco, Rancagua, Maipo. (Names of battles of the independence of Chile against Spain). Thanks, great channel!
For those interested and don't know were to look, check Naval Source picture archive under USS Savannah CL42, and scroll down to the pictures of the bomb hit and aftermath. Below that is the damage diagram. Loads of luck and extremely good crew damage control.
Drach, you forgot the USS Helena. Dubbed the "machine gun cruiser" for her rapid rate of fire, due to the 6" autoloaded guns. She served well & hit the Japanese hard, before being finally sunk by torpedo's in the battle of Kula Gulf. Many good sources of info on her, here is the Wiki entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kula_Gulf
^Drach is separating the Brooklyn class into 2 classes, with the St Louis and Helena being built to a different standard, with different secondary guns and a completely different engine setup.
People forget that you don't have to sink it to mission-kill it. Lots of important equipment on a battleship could not withstand 6" hits. Same thing with modern tanks: HE rounds are perfectly fine for putting a modern tank out of the fight by wrecking its optics, sensors and sight/gun stabilisation, without ever penetrating the armour.
I am looking for information on the USS Brooklyn CL40.. My dad served on the Brooklyn in WWII and I am curious to know more about his ship. Like many veterans of any war, he did not really like to talk about his time in the service.
I know it was stationed , and left for war out of the property that I work at now. It was called the Brooklyn Navy Yard at the time. My Grandfather was a gunner on Brooklyn CL-40 and I’m very proud of his Service.
You should run through the principal WWII naval aircraft one of these days - I’m partial to the Avenger because I’m lucky enough to work on and crew one today, but it really didn’t get much of any attention post-war. :(
Depends on what kind of AA ship you'd want. With only 8 152" mm guns compared to 12 or 14 on an Atlanta The had more room for light AA guns that the Atlanta class, but the Clevelands were much closer to a true surface/AA ship
@@mattf4u-496 Sorry, I meant 127mm guns. The 152mm guns never had more than a slight chance of shooting down modern aircraft, and that only by barrage fire. so mostly luck if they hit anything.
I always thought the Americans got it right when they put the aircraft, hangar and aviation fuel right at the stern instead of wasting useful space amidships (and creating a fuel spill/fire hazard) by putting it behind the bridge structure, as in the Town class.
On a warship, with steam boilers. What kind of water do they use in the boiler, is is distilled ,water or sea water. If they use North Sea water it is very cold and that will take a long time to go from freezing to boiling point. In a railroad engine the steam is sent into the air out up the smokestack. Railroad have a preheated system for there locomotive do ship have any kind of system like that ?
Can you also tell us something about the seven provinces class of the Dutch navy? that was not a battleship but a battlecruiser like the hood of english navy am i wrong or am i right ?? that was past war i think
Am I the only one who's ever noticed the similarity to the Myoko and Takao classes? 🤔 (Three turrets forward [#s 1 & 2 super-firing, #3 facing aft] and two super-firing aft.)
Why didn't you include St. Louis and Helena? Every standard reference (Conway's, Whitey, Friedman, etc.) I've seen includes them in the Brooklyn class.
@@kemarisite huh, I thought Helena was the early design, somehow the fact that she saw pearl harbour and sank in the Solomon made me think she was somehow older than all her sisters.
So the Brooklyn decided to commit suicide instead of bring food to the scrapyard also did the people in the former uss phoenix what did the crew though about seeing in a outdated ship in the Falkland wars
Your question is a little hard to understand, but I'm assuming it's what did the Argentine crews think about serving on such a relatively old warship? I'm not Argentine so I only know what I've read, but the Argentine Navy had a lot of faith in the Belgrano. She had gone through several comprehensive refits, and it was expected that the combination of Sea Cat missiles installed during one of her refits, plus the 127mm and 40 mm guns would protect it from air attack. There was also the assumption that the Type 42 destroyers purchased from Britain in the late 1970's would be able to protect the battle fleet from British submarines. Unfortunately for Argentina. the Type 42's were protecting the carrier task force, and the ex-USN WWII era destroyers weren't up to the task of detecting the Conqueror.
@@sarjim4381 I served aboard the ARA Hercules one of the two Argentine navy type 42 and we had quite some fun all the war as we were chased by the subs HMS Spartan and HMS Splendid which were on the mission of sinking us after the HMS Sheffield who was the head of the class, was sunk by an exocet.
@@sarjim4381 ; I think what he's asking is this; What did the former U.S. Navy crew members think of their old Phoenix being used in modern warfare, and ultimately sunk by the British Navy.
@@Johnnycdrums Oh, okay, I never thought of it from that point of view. The USN has held several memorial services after the sinking so I guess there was still the feeling the Phoenix was one of theirs, even after being sunk in combat while serving in a foreign navy. By my hasty math, an 18 year old sailor serving on board Phoenix whe she went to reserve in 1946 would be 91 now, so there's probably not much in the way of first hand opinions we'll get today.
I wonder if drach is actually an advance ai with an obsession with ships and the voice we hear is just some poor guy that it capture to re voice these videos
You show just how tough and effective these ships were. Just foes to show that despite all the massive cheating the Japanese and Germans did with ship displacement it doesn't mean you've got a good design.
John Fisher You keep lumping German and Japanese “treaty” (not really) designs together as being poor designs despite breaking treaty limits. In reality that only applies to the Germans: Japanese cruiser designs could have been better, but were reasonably capable for their displacement (as Drach himself pointed out in other videos), which was why they went over treaty limits in the first place.
Luv u vids. Have been binge watching feom the start. But please for gods sake, say st louis the way we do. U say it like "king louis". In america we pronounce it like "lewis". Keep up the great content tho
You mentioned her class and gave us a short rundown on most of her career but never once said anything about the Philidelphia controversy that made its way into a book then movie. We would love to hear your take on it.
The controvery I am referring to is the so called teleporting that the USS Philledelphia incident that was the inspiration for the movie. According to some, the Philledelphia was carrying out secret cloaking experiments when it was seen in 2 different ship yards on the east coast on the same day without having put to sea. According to the conspiracy theory, there were sailors who had become a part of the ship with arms and legs sticking out of bulkheads and others simply vanishing into thin air. There have been several stories and YT videos about it.
Gee, I wonder why the Japanese built the Mogami class a full four years before the Brooklyns with a near identical main battery? I wonder what Japanese ship class the Brooklyns were meant to counter, ehh....?

The USS Phoenix was everywhere in the Pacific in 1941. 1942. I guess because she was one of the few newish cruisers the USN had at the time.
Phoenix had one of the most eventful service careers of any usn cruiser.
My grandfather was the Officer in Charge of the AA gunnery teams on the USS Helena (CL-50)
My grandfather served on the USS Nashville, her sister ship, from '41 to '43.

US light cruisers are really great warships, and I love this class in particular :)
