I appreciated that so much
I liked that three was no music but it felt weird cause everyon else does it
I swear that background sound is from World of Warships...

"Panokseon" is another ship without the iron cover. That ship is called "Geobukseon" in Korean.
Turtle ship's base is Panokseon as i know.
@@namhokim3932 Yeah true, Turtle ship was made based on the Panokseon.
But they are different. Turtle ship is Geobukseon and Panokseon is just a Panokseon.
We don't give the same names when we develop into something better. Aren't we?
Just like we're talking about the iPod and more advanced iPhone in it differently.
If not, we'll name it at least Mk.2 or something.
Interesting. Having the date the ship was active might be helpful too, but great job.
Thanks!
Thought the same thing.

A very nice video but I thought you should know admiral kuznetsnov isn’t an aircraft carrier as the internet states it is it is a aircraft carrying cruiser because it had to much firepower for self defence and not enough aircraft for a full offence however everyone who doesn’t know this calls it an aircraft carrier because of its shape
The deadliest ship was the jet ski.

Nice video, although I would have preferred the title "Warship Length Comparison", since ship size is generally measured by displacement. There is a reason why the Yamato is considered the largest battleship of all time, despite being shorter than the Iowas. Same with Enterprise and her younger cousins, longer, but lighter and therefore smaller in size.

Thank you for your feedback and insight! I appreciate your point about ship size being typically measured by displacement rather than length. It's important to consider multiple factors when comparing warships. I'll keep this in mind for future videos and titles to provide a more comprehensive perspective. I value your input and encourage further discussions.
USA Maine was a Battleship. Not a cruiser. Hint: Battleships = named after states; Cruisers = named after capital and major cities
Thank you for the insight! Some of my sources listed it as an armored cruiser. It looks like some others do list it as a battleship as well.
InfoRanker if you would like to know more about this, feel free to subscribe to my channel to get more advice. ;)
@@thetankcommander3838 technically, no battleship existed before HMS Dreadnought, so USS Maine is technically a armored cruisers, and it is named after a State before Battleship is a thing, and armored cruisers are the capital ships.
Muyang Cheng actually you’re wrong. Battleships started to show up as a term in the 1880’s to 1890’s. It started with ironclad battleships, but then it turned to battleships. However, it wasn’t until the British Majestic-Class Pre-Dreadnought Battleship that the term actually took major flight. I know a thing or two about these things. Just saying.
@@thetankcommander3838 I see, thanks for the clarification
Went on a private tour on the Enterprise when I was a kid living on Subic Bay in the Philippines back in the 70's. A friends dad who was a high ranking officer took us on it. That ship was massive.
@Stop the BS Yea dad was a Marine and we were stationed there for three years. I only remember the Enterprise coming into port one time when I was there 77-79. The Kitty Hawk was there all the time though. My nephew was actually serving on the Kitty Hawk until they decommissioned it.
Yep I lived on CVN-65 for 4 years from 86-90. And I loved Subic Bay! I took it for granted at the time cause I was 21. It means so much more to me now that I’m 54.,
I served aboard The Big E for 4 years 1984-88. Proud ship... she is missed.
Wow, what an incredible experience you had exploring the Enterprise on a private tour! It must have been awe-inspiring to witness the sheer size and grandeur of such an iconic ship. Thank you for sharing this amazing memory from the 70s. If you have any more fascinating stories or memories, we'd love to hear them!
I had a friends dad who work on the USS Nimitz and we got to tour it be for it set sailed
I visited TCG Anadolu in Istanbul. It was more than impressive. I knew it is a big ship but to see it in real makes an everlasting impression. Unforgettable. Awe inspiring. Loved it! ❤
That would be cool to see
Would have been cool to see that theoretical iceberg carrier in the end just for fun!

I actually like that there was no music and just the background sound of a harbor.
its actually more relaxing in that sense
i think its the dry dock ambient noise from world of warships,
Yes, it really puts you there. Loved it
Your Constitution size is wrong. You've included bowsprit lenght in the constitution, but not in the victory. The constition should be listed as 63m, or the bowsprit length should be added to the Victory.
Also, Gunship for the Victory? It's a Ship of the Line!
L
I'm actually seeing a lot of sizes early on that clearly aren't as they seem
And wtf is the model for HMS Hood... Tragic. Plus, Dreadnought is facing the wrong way. Lol.

@@ethannorton564 There is a different comparison where the Enterprise is somewhat shorter than the Nimitz. If my information is correct, the hull of the Nimitz-class is a bit longer than the Entrepise's, but the flight deck of the Enterprise is about 10 meters longer than the one of the Nimitz.

The USS Enterprise is my most favorable ship,it is the warship have gone through various hard wars...
Well i like it all,also the Korean Ship because i'm one of the persons that watched the joseon korean war.. good vid keep it up!
I prefer WW2 Enterprise (CV-6) to the modern reincarnations of her.
This just reaffirms my notion: Battleships are the coolest things ever built
@hickspaced Tell that to WW1. Also, German Battleships did have succesful operations in WW2.
@hickspaced Yet the German U boats sunk a grand total of ZERO British Battleships. They were still very useful for any naval operation that required staying power. Much more so than heavy cruisers. Most naval vessels are gone from one torpedo. Battleships on the other hand generally require an entire operation to take them out.
@hickspaced Devoting more resources to other projects does always translate to an equal amount of total gain. Japans ability to improve their army was not just limited by resources but also by their engineering ability and experience.
The usefulness of Battleships did not die with the introduction of the Aircraft Carrier. It was made more niche, sure, but conventional Battleships did not become obsolete until the introduction of Ballistic Missiles and especially nuclear weapons.
Yet many people can also argue that these newer missiles are also making Aircraft carriers obsolete.
Nah, aircraft carriers.
@@somedudes6455 aircraft carrier is not a combat ship, just a big ugly barge built only to deliver aircraft to place where the action is.

Great video , you should have added the Frigate Jylland. Worlds largest wooden ship , visited it again last week . Quite impressive at 102 meters , 44 canons , crew of 437 and a top speed of 14 knots .
it's great to hear about your visit to the Frigate Jylland! The ship sounds truly impressive with its size, armament, and historical significance. I'll definitely keep it in mind for future comparisons. Feel free to share any other interesting facts or suggestions you might have. Happy exploring!
Uk: we will just have the be good aircraft carrier Keep it simple.
USA: give me more, I want more
Thanks for introducing turtle ship
Our pleasure!
Hot damn the Yamato was huge. No wonder it was feared.
The most fear it generated was for Japanese high command who were terrified to use it. Hence why it hardly saw action.
Her armament was the most heaviest at that time, too bad they just wasted it
The sound effects sounds so cool ngl
I think there should be a comparison like this, but based on tonnage displaced instead of just length. Missouri is ranked after the Yamato in this list, but the Yamato is clearly the larger ship (in terms of mass).
What a matchup that would have been. Of course, the Missouri would have to me the 1940s version to be fair. The 90's Missouri wound just sit back & rain tomahawks. 😄
you misclassed the HMS Victory, It's actually a first-rate ship of the line which was basically a battleship during the early/late 1700s to the early/late 1800s before the first Ironclads arrived on scene. A gunship was a lot smaller, lighter and faster than the Victory for example: USS Alliance in 1875

Funny little fact, the HMS Dreadnought is the only one facing the other war, You are looking at its stern.
0:15 the ship introduced here is a GoeBukSeun- which was a form of a assault ship that rushes through the enemy's swarm, easily identified by its turtle head- while the Panokseon was a warship that fired cannons faraway and not quite an assault ship

USS Constitution
305 ft....yeah, Including about 100ft of bowsprit and jibboom.(had to look those up)
But it seriously looks smaller
Old Ironsides whipped the red coats and their old outdated frigates of the time 😂
I personnally think you did a damn good job of this video yes some errors but the basic premisse of showing size was there so thanks for a good job done and thank you
Thanks, I fixed some of the errors in another video but nobody watches that one lol
HMS Victory, the one indicated, is really 221 feet long. USS Constitution is 203 feet long and the USS Maine did not look like that but had two turrets mounted on the port stern and starboard bow areas of the ship, a most unwieldy arrangement.
also the russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov & the Chinese Shandong are actually the same size too 305m
Its a shame we dont make battleships anymore. Imagine how insane a modern day battleship would be.
Aircraft carriers made them obsolete
Battleships became obsolete due to the fact smaller ships can do what 1 could do, but spread over a far wider operation area. People incorrectly cite carriers making them obsolete but it was actually just frigates, destroyers, and cruisers matching them that didn’t make them obsolete but rather just illogical.
Look at all the ships. They‘re so long and hard and full of seamen!
... okay
.
...okay
okay ..
Great and wonderful, we may need a few units from US and Japan soon.
Cool idea for a video. I would have liked to see the Burke class US destroyer and the Ticonderoga class US cruiser in among them though, those two ships being among the most important and numerous surface ships in the US navy. That along with the Los Angeles, Seawolf, and Virginia classes of submarines.
@HMS king George V Just because your Empire is in ruins and your Navy is a shell of its former self doesn't mean you got to be jelly.
Great Video. I like how you used length as the factor for determining size. Volume over mass I always say. Though some would fairly define _Large_ by weight. In that case, the USS Enterprise CVN-65 is the longest, but its not the heaviest. That would go to the Gerald R Ford Class which displaces 100,000 tons.
Great point!
With ships, weight and underwater volume are directly related.

It's the US military version of one. They look like aircraft carriers and are an evolution of that class but serve an entirely different purpose; that of support of invading ground forces.
im pretty sure it is. due to the marines extensive use of vertical take off aircraft they need a place to land and take off a heli carrier if you will

Jeez, if you took a US Navy supercarrier to Trafalgar...even without aircraft, you could destroy the combined French, Spanish, and British navies just by ramming!
Easily. Their armour is invincible to the guns of the era, and even an aircraft carrier could run rings around any slow, lumbering sailing warship.
But that unfair fight potential became apparent all the way back in 1859-1860 when France and Britain launched their first ironclad warships. In one fell swoop the navies of the world were reduced to two ships - and a load of floating matchwood for target practice!
Even a carrier's defensive guns would be more than a match for Nelson's wooden navy. Imagine a CIWS loaded with incendiary shells lighting up all those wooden ships
no you couldn't lol. an aircraft carrier is weak without it's fleet. it would just get boarded and taken over. let's be honest
@@SirZanZa you're a dumbass. how's a ship of the line going to board a ship more than 3 times its length, twice its height and 3 times its speed. not to mention a ship's complement of 5000+ sailors, marines, and a platoon of navy SEALs with modern weaponry?
even if it could somehow stick some grappling hooks as the carrier passed by, they'd either get ripped off, or the ship would be dragged underwater by the mass and speed of much larger ship.
@@SirZanZa Bruh, how are they supposed to jump up dozens of feet and fight of thousands of men armed with modern guns?

just because they are similar length doesn't mean its larger... this is a bad way of judging ship sizes a better way would be with displacement tonnage

Before the USS America amphibious assault ship. We had an aircraft carrier with the same name. She was decommissioned and sunk. She is deeper then the Titanic.
My great grandpa was on the USS enterprise during Pearl Harbor, the enterprise was the only ship to survive it because it wasn’t in the harbor I can’t remember if it had just left or it was about to go in Pearl Harbor
The statement that Enterprise was the only ship to survive it is ABSOLUTELY false. None of the carriers were there the day of the attack, they were out on a training exercise or something like that, so that part is correct. But many of the US ships (basically anything that wasn't a battleship) that actually was in the harbor survived the attack with only light to moderate damage, and many smaller vessels weren't even damaged at all. The Japanese pilots were overzealous and glory hungry so they focused FAR too many of their attacks on the battleships, they should have spread their attacks out to include the vital port infrastructure like shipbuilding and repair facilities, the fuel and munitions depots, and the airfields (which, to their credit, they did take out), and also the smaller and far more modern light cruisers that would go on to be vital to winning many battles later in the war.
Your great grandpa LEGEND!! Just in case you don't understand UK or Southern Hemisphere English, seeing as you are likely from the US....... LEGEND is as good as it gets!! From my part of the world, thank you US Navy, you saved us and made the difference in 1942, Bugger present day politics, we remember the men and the ships from the time and forever look up to them.

@HMS king George V catching up there in light speed i see
That’s what I call balance 😏
“… and they called her, Enterprise.”
HMS VIctory is 227'6". She's a first-rate ship of the line. Yes USS Constitution, a (barely) third-rate is longer but this had more to do with hull shape and speed. In the original book, Master and Commander, the enemy ships are American and Captain Aubrey is looking at the hull form of an American third-rate which is longer, narrower, and faster.
Constitution was well armored for what she would come up against and couldn't flee, hence her nickname, but a first-rate would have blown her to splinters if she couldn't outrun it. This is why she was built to be fast.
