@Adolf Hitler Hello, Adolf. You should read the 1st Amendment to understand what free speech is. Whining about WG not allowing free speech only shows that you want to deny them their right to free speech.
Yeah. Also things like those sales to get money to repair USS Batfish are great about this game. Those are the moments I feel proud of this community. And then there is the actual gameplay, CVs state and so on and the shitstorm starts :D
An hour from my house. Last year, during record flooding, the Batfish actually floated off her resting spot. Quick work by park staff and emergency services, managed to get her moored in a makeshift manner, preventing her from making her last sortie.
there is a rare variety of this class of submarine with the guppy 3 modification there is only one left and unfortunately it’s museum is going to turn into an artificial reef
Back in late eighties my wife daughter and I went to see Batfish. It was closed for some work on the building. There was a original crew member there who was a staff volunteer. We talked he was surprised that I knew Batfish history. He let me have run of the boat. I even went the Batteries and bilge. When I came topside I had many questions of which the old sailor patiently answered. I think myself very lucky.
The bond of a Submarine crew last for a very long time, When I retired from the U.S. Navy in 2004, both Pacflt and SubPac were both prior Captains of mine and for some odd reason still liked me. Nothing like being a Chief and calling a 3-Star and a 4-Star by their first names. Come to think of it, I knew the first name of every Captain I ever sailed under. For the record, a Submarine batter that gets flooded out produces Chlorine gas and Hydrogen gas. The Hydrogen self burns at 4% atmosphere and self detonates at 8% atmosphere. QMC(SS) USN (Ret.)
@@jeffallen3382 If you really thankful for my service, call your Congressmen and Senators and tell them to fully fund the VA and other veteran programs. Thank you.
@BC Bob The Silent Service is not run like regular Navy. It is much less formal. Only officer i might use 'sir' to was to the Captain, junior officers not hardly at all up to and including my own engineer. Beards are a regular thing to grow.
I love these Naval Legends videos, but whoever is in charge of the cinematics, they deserve a raise. Very good and exciting entertainment. Thanks for the 4th of July video
A little clarification on the explanation of the battery compartment at 7:15. Lead acid batteries do not produce nitrogen, and nitrogen is not toxic. Batteries produce hydrogen, which is explosive. Hydrogen is normally produced during charging, caused by the dissociation of water in the electrolyte into hydrogen and oxygen. These gases are vented overboard during charging, which is done on the surface using the air breathing diesel engines. Battery maintenance includes testing the specific gravity of the electrolyte and adding water and/or acid when necessary. I believe the confusion occurs because if seawater enters the battery spaces, chlorine gas is produced, which is toxic.
I live near where the Batfish resides in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and as someone who loves this boat and her history, thank you to World of Warships and its players for your contributions toward saving our sub! The money raised by WoW will go a very long way toward preserving and restoring her for the next generation.
WoWS had event a while ago when the USS Batfish moved from its mount during a flood. If you donated to restore USS Batfish to its mount you were given a Patch with the Batfish logo on it. Got mine and display it from time to time. Looks pretty cool.
more like the greatest understatement of all time. Honestly they should have just shot harsh language from a speaker. In all honesty it would have been more effective...
Thanks guys, we are pretty proud of the Batfish here in landlocked Oklahoma, vicarious honor it was selected for the Independence Day salute! The brave mariners that manned her will always be proud
Excellent vid! It reminds me of that channel that _USED_ to give us good WW2 documentaries before somehow deciding that we'd rather watch people take things into a pawn shop.
I live near the Batfish and have enjoyed visiting it since I was a kid. The Batfish is in trouble now and needs or help. It was damaged by flooding and has a go fund me account. Please help the Batfish.
US Navy Submarine Service And remarkably even with the inexcusable failure of the ordinance department in regard to the Mark 14 and the 2 years it took to correct it, the the US Navy Submarine Service managed to reduce the IJN and the Japanese merchant fleet to near extinction. So in less than 3 years we sank 5.3 million tons of shipping. With a loss of 52 boats and 3,305 men. Our Navy does not consider them lost, " They are on Eternal Patrol."
I enlisted in the Naval Reserve in 1968. I performed drills on reserve destroyer USS Hyman (DD-732) at Naval Support Activity New Orleans before I started basic training and active duty. I remember the USS Batfish moored to decrepit old docks near the Hyman in the Mississippi River. Being curious, I even boarded her one time, climbing down a ladder and surprising a caretaker. I wish I had known her storied history during my brief visit.
I've been on the Batfish twice. I absolutely loved the experience. Being inside her gives you an appreciation for how 80 men lived in very close quarters.
The Batfish is still under repairs after the big floods in Oklahoma in spring 2019. The War Memorial Park in Muskogee is opened on weekends. Even though it is not possible to board the sub right now, the museum is full of wonderful history and is well worth a visit. Getting the Batfish ship shape again has been a long process. Hopefully this fall repair and restoration efforts will get back underway.
@@barrett2724 I speak with the people who run the museum on a regular basis and at this time it still needs a lot of restoration and is not able to be boarded.
I’m so glad we have saved so many of our historical naval vessels from the scrapper. People for generations get to enjoy these great vessels that fought for our freedom
My grandfather was a torpedo man on the Batfish during WWII. He passed away a few years ago at 93. There are some really cool pictures of the sub in his house.
"The torpedoes used on US submarines demonstrated very poor efficiency due to their technical imperfections" I was wondering if they were going to bring up the Mark 14 in this video. A bit of an understatement to their early performance issues.
One US submarine fired 15 torpedoes at a Japanese cargo ship. 2 torpedoes missed, but they heard 13 "CLANG!"s as they bounced off the ships hull! They didn't fire their 16th (last) torpedo. They returned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and nearly fired the last torpedo at the Navy Ordinance Office, but figure it wouldn't go off anyway!
Check 2 cities in 🇯🇵 first its easy to see. The sleeping Giants foot steps are still visible to this day. We have a pearl in the pacific that reminds us of you.
This is a great story to remember, the sailors that risk their lives during VWII to become heroes due to their achievements, thank you for the well prepared documentary, JV
I've already started playing other games. So sick and tired of all these new OP ships that can hit you w/o being hit back. Battlestar Galatica Online did the same thing...killed the game.
@@johnbates7422 Yeah, been playing console to get the old nostalgia of the time before carriers, and I sort of miss them and sort of don't.....as for submarines, they aren't for world of ships, the main issue is the fact that how OP they are, which makes sense seeing as how if your team doesn't have anyone attempting to hunt them they can get away with alot of bullshit. I believe the main issue is that anti submarine weapons and tactics usually involve a fleet being able to focus on killing one target. If you add in the fact that 14 other ships are in the area firing on you, trying to coordinate your side into focusing on a sub is extremely difficult....
As a resident of Muskogee, OK. This is a welcome video. Reminds me of how lucky we are to have such history in our midst. The last "Great MidWest Flood" disturbed the Batfish's resting place, but nonetheless. Thank you for the video.
given how Akagi is not in game I doubt it. They may release her as a premium eventually and then do one but thats the only way I would expect to see her on the series unfortunately. Still, Akaki is psycho yandere but still adorable.
This presenter made the information fascinating, I may be Japanese but these brave men did a difficult job with professionalism to be respected for all time.
Haven't been back to her in some years but got to be part of her "relief crew" volunteering on maintenance days for several years. Great ship to visit with a lot of history to go with it.
Well done guys. Another EXCELLENT work. History channel eat your heart out. I dig everything you guys have done over the years. It gets better and I just love it. Thanks again.
having been inside naval vessels from ww1 to ww2 period, the engineering and workmanship that has gone into every single component still blows my mind. Also, to have designed everything without any computers as we know it today.
Crazy this is essentially in my back yard and I haven't been by to see it. So much history to it. I know she was at risk when the river flooded a few years back. I'll need to make a stop by 😁😁
Very informative video and enjoyed it a lot. The USS Drum came to Mobile, AL in 1969 I believe it was along side the battleship Alabama. Both vessels have exemplary service records. The Drum was pulled out of the water like the Batfish.
A few years back (2019?) we had severe flooding and the Batfish was once again afloat and broken loose or so I'm told, and it took some hard and quick work to secure her again.
I remember my mom and dad taking us to the BATFISH to tour her back in the 80's. I was blown away as kid. Always enjoyed to see the boat. I hope to take my son to see her. I believe she is last submarine to have sub kills from WWII to present day. No other U.S. sub has a kill that's not classified from what I understand. (🇺🇸USS BATFISH GET SOME!!🇺🇸⚓⚓⚓)
Pretty cool. I had no idea that Batfish had been preserved as a museum ship, much less how it would wind up in Oklahoma. But I've toured the USS Pampanito a couple of times. And it's really amazing to see these boats in person... even mores when you stop and realize just how crowded it must have been with 80+ crew versus a just couple dozen spectators.
One US submarine fired 15 torpedoes at a Japanese cargo ship. 2 torpedoes missed, but they heard 13 "CLANG!"s as they bounced off the ships hull! They didn't fire their 16th (last) torpedo. They returned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and nearly fired the last torpedo at the US Navy Ordinance Office, but figure it wouldn't go off anyway!
Three Japanese submarines sunk in three days... I don't know of a Las Vegas bookie who wouldn't give a 500-to-1 odds of that, then cry come pay-off day. ~_^
A very interesting video. Many thanks. Just one thing! At 7:34, you mention two gases, produced by (the batteries) coming into contact with flooding sea water. Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Hydrogen is explosive. The other gas is Chlorine, and it is poisonous. Nitrogen is an important component gas in the air that we breath. The other gas that was toxic in high concentrations was breathed out CO2.
I gotta thanks the Wargaming for giving me and others the opportunity to help preserve this historical ship. Thank you, Wargaming, and keep providing us the opportunity to donate to another ship like Batfish and Texas.

The thing about submarines is that in most cases, either none of the crew dies, or the entire crew dies.
Àm great ⁴
"50% of the time, it works every time."
For both Germany and the US, the submarine branch sustained the highest levels of casualties of any other military branch in WWII.
The Germans lost like almost 30,000 kriegsmarines.

i dunno, mentioning the fact that the torpedo sunk it's own sub is really not an understatement. Torpedoes aren't meant to that do that.

Crazy this is essentially in my back yard and I haven't been by to see it. So much history to it. I know she was at risk when the river flooded a few years back. I'll need to make a stop by 😁😁
From Muskogee know both the guys in the video and I visit the ship often great people and a very well taken care of peace of important history
I would Like to see more Naval Legend Episodes cause I want to learn almost everything about Naval History. Its somthing I would request.
Took my kids to see the batfish they remember to this day and a very cool place to go...
Holy Hallelujah!
Thank you
Very informative video and enjoyed it a lot. The USS Drum came to Mobile, AL in 1969 I believe it was along side the battleship Alabama. Both vessels have exemplary service records. The Drum was pulled out of the water like the Batfish.
In a sea of horror and sinking ships, be one brave tin can.
In all honesty a beautiful Naval Legends episode. Happy birthday America!
A few years back (2019?) we had severe flooding and the Batfish was once again afloat and broken loose or so I'm told, and it took some hard and quick work to secure her again.
Phenomenal Video.
That is a beautiful piece of history. Great job on the video.
This video was exceptionally done. I just wish the same effort put into this video was put into the Bismarck video.
Really well done. Entertaining and educational backstories and provenance provided by Mr. Trout.
Simply... BAD ASS!!!!!
I remember my mom and dad taking us to the BATFISH to tour her back in the 80's. I was blown away as kid. Always enjoyed to see the boat. I hope to take my son to see her. I believe she is last submarine to have sub kills from WWII to present day. No other U.S. sub has a kill that's not classified from what I understand. (🇺🇸USS BATFISH GET SOME!!🇺🇸⚓⚓⚓)
Pretty cool. I had no idea that Batfish had been preserved as a museum ship, much less how it would wind up in Oklahoma. But I've toured the USS Pampanito a couple of times. And it's really amazing to see these boats in person... even mores when you stop and realize just how crowded it must have been with 80+ crew versus a just couple dozen spectators.
Ive been on this submarine !!! I was working on a telecom site there. This is so cool...
One US submarine fired 15 torpedoes at a Japanese cargo ship. 2 torpedoes missed, but they heard 13 "CLANG!"s as they bounced off the ships hull! They didn't fire their 16th (last) torpedo. They returned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and nearly fired the last torpedo at the US Navy Ordinance Office, but figure it wouldn't go off anyway!
Very enjoyable to watch! Well done!
Three Japanese submarines sunk in three days... I don't know of a Las Vegas bookie who wouldn't give a 500-to-1 odds of that, then cry come pay-off day. ~_^
Code breakers sent them information on the subs course and destination. They were ambushed.
A very interesting video. Many thanks. Just one thing! At 7:34, you mention two gases, produced by (the batteries) coming into contact with flooding sea water. Hydrogen and Nitrogen.
Hydrogen is explosive. The other gas is Chlorine, and it is poisonous. Nitrogen is an important component gas in the air that we breath. The other gas that was toxic in high concentrations was breathed out CO2.
I've been on the Batfish 3 times. It's a great experience.
Very educative video.
Nice to watch and interesting.
I live in Oklahoma and This episode make me happy
She can still float!! Go batfish. .
One of the Museum boats I haven't gotten to yet. So glad she wasn't lost in last years floods.
Please make a video on USS Nautilus
Excellent presentation 5 Stars
Thank you for a very good presentation on the USS Batfish. Hope I can visit someday. Greetings from Iceland.
At the start of WWII, we had great submarines but lousy Mark 14 torpedoes.
Batfish crazy
Love this show! Breaks my heart that the History channle is nothing but pawn stars. But thankfully Wargaming loves history.
I gotta thanks the Wargaming for giving me and others the opportunity to help preserve this historical ship. Thank you, Wargaming, and keep providing us the opportunity to donate to another ship like Batfish and Texas.
Gostei muito, belíssimo vídeo
"They used something they don't use any more....math" 😄 Its funny because it's true.
Been aboard her several times, however she has shifted in her mooring due to flooding, and is tilted to port by about 7 degrees.
I toured the Batfish about 25 years ago I think. I'm not really sure This story put together is amazing. I need to go back.
Great show of history, loved it.
Always love the Naval Legends videos. I think a video on USS Cobia should be mentioned.
Good job Brent and crew!
