    ========= Dreadnought LYRICS ==========
    A shadow moves across the water in pursuit
    It splits the waves, commands the sea and defies the wind
    Instilling fear among its prey, feels nought for itself
    Ahead the sea lies calm awaiting the storm
    Displace the water in its path
    Reveal the cannons, align the guns, unleash their wrath
    Unopposed under crimson skies
    Immortalized, over time their legend will rise
    And their foes can’t believe their eyes, believe their size, as they fall
    And the Dreadnoughts dread nothing at all
    A hull of steel and all big guns to serve the fleet
    Unrivalled firepower riding the waves to war
    A devastating blow will send their foes down below
    Fearless armada now bombarding their shore
    Light up the night when cannons roar
    In fear of nothing, they lead the navy into war
    The North Sea has drawn them near
    The Fleet of the High Seas approach
    A contest of titans commence
    These days will dictate their fate
    The Grand Fleet prepares their guns
    Unleashed as the Dreadnoughts clash at last
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    Dreadnought is dedicated to the massive battleship class Dreadnought and the naval conflict at Jutland. The moment these riffs were first heard - we knew these were the sounds of waves breaking under heavy ships!

    The USS Texas was called the last dreadnought. It had a record holding 12 inches of Pittsburgh steel holding the hull together. The ship also had to go to a port in France to reload during the battle of Normandy, later to come back to find out that the alies had pushed the germans back to far the guns could no longer reach at max turret elevation. So they decided to take the ship from 13000 meters offshore up to 3000 meters from the shoreline. On a last ditch effort the ship then flooded its starbird balast tanks basicaly gangster leaning the ship, so it could shoot further inland.

      The caliber wasn’t actually massive, it was 12 inches, which is a fucking foot, but calibers on pre Dreadnoughts could go up to 18 inches, and the race before Dreadnought was on caliber, one of the many reasons why dreadnought was so influential, was the fact it had 5 turrets, and 10 guns (2 per turret), instead of the usual 2 turrets.

    Here after USS Texas BB-35 has reached the dry dock for repairs.
    The last floating dreadnought in the world and one of two New York class dreadnoughts. Alongside Mikasa they are the oldest steel warships we have left( the others being wooden armada ships with actual small cannons on their sides).
    Also fun fact: U.S.S. Texas BB-35 took part in the shelling of the shoreline for the D-Day landing during Operation Overlord and has taken out german battery spots. At one point the enemies were out of her gun reach so the captain gave the order for the crew to flood a torpedo blister to flood themselves and tilt to one side, gaining enough elevation to keep firing on the germans.
    It is currently undergoing a repair schedule that will take around a year and cost around 35 million dollars. It had serious structural damage on its outer shell and bottom due to corrosion . If anybody wants to donate you can search USS texas foundation and read more about the lads

      Considering the sheer impact Dreadnought had, might as well be considered one. She made *every existing ship in every navy of the time obsolete overnight*. All of them, just by existing. She is the reason we call battleships built after her time dreadnought battleships, as they all followed her idea of uniform main armament calibers and steam turbine machinery to achieve ever higher speeds, carrying ever larger and ever more guns, wielding more armor and defenses every generation. The one to start a race which then lead to the clash of the titans, and decades later the birth of the Leviathan...

Of course the treaty ships, the escalator ships and the ones not compliant with the treaty built upon the principle here, but all later built battleships followed it. Superdreadnoughts were called that because they were a superior version of the dreadnought philosophy: bigger guns, faster speed, more armor. But still, they were not breaking the dreadnought philosophy, they were pushing the envelope on what belonged into that philosophy.

    Interesting things; to know about Dreadnought herself;
    Because of the newness of her fancy high speed (for the time) engines, she couldn’t actually reverse.
    She was fitted with a false ram, a holdover from ship designs of old, and one of the last warships to have one.
    She was the subject of a prank by a group of pranksters called the Bloomsbury Group in 1910 when the group, pretending to be a short-notice Royal Delegation from Abyssinia, wanted to inspect the ship and got a guided tour, speaking only small bits of Latin as none knew the language of the place they were pretending to be from, and supposedly shouting or murmuring the phrase ‘Bunga Bunga!’ As an exclamation of amazement or appreciation.
    In 1915 Dreadnought rammed and sank the German Submarine U-29 (as that was standard anti-submarine doctrine at the time due to submarines needing to surface to fire). She is he only battleship to sink a submarine by ramming, and amongst the many messages of congratulations she got, one was notably ‘BUNGA BUNGA’
    This was her only significant action, she never fired her guns in anger, and missed Jutland in 1916

    Shortly after her commissioning, Texas made numerous sorties into the North Sea during World War I. When American formally entered World War II, Texas escorted war convoys across the Atlantic and saw action in the invasions of North Africa, Normandy and Southern France. Upon transfer to the Pacific Theater in 1944, she provided support for the Battles of Iowa Jima and Okinawa. At the end of the war, Texas carried many prisoners of war from the Philippines to Pearl Harbor and brought nearly 5,000 troops home to California.

      Not really? The biggest problem was that it damaged Anglo-German relations. The British made too many Dreadnaughts for Germany to ever realistically match, with Churchill's 2 to 1 Dreadnaughts working wonders.
      The fleet wasn't obsolete, as a Dreadnaughts job was to sink enemy battleships. The rest of the fleet was more useful than the Dreadnaughts. And of course, if a Dreadnaught got damaged, it's repair would cost so much it wasn't worth it unless the Dreadnaught sunk big ships.

    • @cantbanme792
      @cantbanme792 2 года назад +24

      it really was a case of bad relations that led to an arms race at the time, the possibility of dreadnoughts was because of industrial development, and at this time, both countries had the capability of just pushing these ships out, and with the bad relations, came worries that England would have enough ships to stop the germans from defending themselves, so there was a certain pressure on the German authorities to order the building of at least so many ships compared to the English, they didnt have to outnumber them, but they wanted to make sure they could at least pose a threat, but England of course didn't really like that, and kept building more dreadnoughts, so the germans would have to keep building them too.

    In December of 1906, a new ship of war takes the seas by storm. A powerful weapon constructed to serve His Majesty. She made her predecessors obsolete and struck fear in those who heard it’s guns roar. Her steam turbines propelled her faster than any other battleship, and her all-big-gun armament was thought to be to powerful for the hull to handle. But fire she did, and not one rivet lost. Her presence compelled other powers to construct ships to rival her, yet she was the catalyst to start a new era of naval warfare.
    Her name was the HMS Dreadnought

    The Battle of Jutland (30 May-1 June 1916):
    The most massive trade of blows in the history of the seven seas at the time. Understand at this point of the war the Dreadnoughts of the high fleets hadn't really been engaged in true naval combat. The German and British high seas fleets were lead by commanders a tad to scared to sacrifice any dreadnought in battle. One day, the German Navy decided they had enough of Britain interrupting their shipping routes and Kaiser Wilhelm alongside the high fleet Admirals of the German Navy decided to unleash the High Seas fleet upon the North Sea and Atlantic.
    The British Navy had a terrifying reputation at this point, only being overshadowed by the fear of German U-Boats. The British Navy decided that they would finally bring out their ships and their dreadnoughts out to fight. The fact that both fleets encountered one another was not just a coincidence, but when they met the first dreadnought fight had commenced.
    The goal of each fleet were as such. The British Navy had to destroy, route, or keep the German Navy from getting deeper into the Atlantic Ocean. The German Navy's goal was to either retreat to safety back in German ports, destroy the British Navy, or damage as many ships as possible before destruction. The grueling combat rocked the ocean as 151 ships of the Royal Navy engaged 99 ships of the German Imperial Navy. The commanders of each Navy were no push overs or strangers to naval combat.
    After the battle had finally ended, the German navy lost 11 ships, including a battleship and a battle cruiser, and suffered 3,058 casualties; the British sustained heavier losses, with 14 ships sunk, including three battle cruisers, and 6,784 casualties. Though, goals of both navies were achieved. The British high seas fleet routed the German Navy, and the German Navy severely damaged the British High seas fleet sustaining much less casualties.
    Both Nations claim victory in this battle to this day......

      Jutland was irrelevant in the grand scheme of things to either side.
      The Germans never wanted a decisive naval battle in WWI; they wanted to overcome the British at sea, but not in a massive fleet engagement, because such an engagement would favour the British (with their bigger fleet). Instead, what they wanted was a drawn-out attritional campaign, where they would engage in many small-scale naval battles instead of major fleet engagements, trying to lure out small groups of British capital ships towards the entire High Seas Fleet. The Germans wanted to bleed out the Royal Navy a few ships at a time, not defeat them in a single stroke with a massive naval battle.
      The issue is that most of the time the Germans tried this at the operational level (and they actually tried it a few times after Jutland as well, albeit at smaller scales), the British didn’t take the bait at all and sent in no ships, or sent in their entire fleet when the Germans wanted to deal with only a few British capital ships at once. Jutland only happened the way it did because the British did take the bait on that occasion with a smaller number of ships, the Germans sprang the trap, then it turned out that the British had the rest of their navy coming to back them up. The Germans never had any intention of fighting the entire Grand Fleet at once, so even if Jellicoe’s force hadn’t shown up they’d still have done exactly what they historically did-sink some battlecruisers and then flee back to port. Because that was their objective for Jutland and for their capital ship engagements in general.
      So the Germans ended up actually achieving their goal for the operation that led to Jutland (albeit taking more damage than they planned for), but the British didn’t provide them nearly enough opportunities to try stunts like this, meaning that the RN still held the strategic upper hand since all they needed to do was not be goaded into naval engagements. If Jutland never happened, the situation would have been exactly the same (if not even more one-sided towards the British) as before.

Nothing screams naval supremacy like thousands of tons of steel, with massive guns, thick armor, and an overall commanding presence. From HMS Dreadnought herself to the Iowas, battleships remain the symbol of a powerful navy.

      It says a lot when the very word 'battleship' has become synonomous with the word warship, in the mind of most people. Even if it isn't the correct way to say it, it shows the sheer respect and awe these ships command. You don't hear people say Carrier or Destroyer to describe any warship.

And then they kept him there thru the whole war as an instructor. When they brought the USS New Jersey out for Vietnam, he volunteered to take a reduction in rank, a change back to his old rating, and sea duty. The Navy said no.

    Me and my father discovered this band over a year ago now, when he finally had his apartment and his car after my parents' divorce. So when I go on vacation with him and I'm not with my mother we're spending like 6 hours in a car by screaming Sabaton songs together.
    Actually he and I weren't into metal music before, and while I still don't listen much to other metal groups, I just love your songs guys. I strongly believe in pacifist opinions but you are honoring heroes and speaking perfectly about war to provoke both honor and reflection about the uselessness of war, strongly discouraging it (at leats it seems like it to me).
    Speaking about untold enough heroes, singing about the horrors of war but in a way that surpass other metal groups by far.
    And I'm not speaking about the fact that it creates another cool bond between me and my father, and that it makes some memories to remember to later.

    The battle of Jutland showed the world the true power of Dreadnoughts, the shear destruction and or damage dealt during the battle of Jutland, take HMS Warspite for example, one of the most well known Dreadnoughts, fought to the point of near destruction, and saving HMS Warrior by accident, while stuck in the "Circle Of Death" after taking a hit to the rear and jamming the rudder. Circling Warrior saved the ship from taking any more damage, though the damage already inflicted was too much for the ship, and she sank soon after. Warspite was nearly unrecognizable when she retreated to port, full of holes, fires everywhere, and taking on water, but still alive, still powering herself. She was one of the most expensive ships to repair, but worth every penny, as she went on to be the Flagship of the Mediterranean fleet in WW2, commanded by Sea Lord Andrew Cunningham, who chose Warspite as she became one of the most feared warships the allies had. Several times she was damaged so badly that the Germans and or Japanese thought they had finally sunk her, but she would remain afloat, and come back to haunt them soon after.

      @AngryCanine 2 года назад +17

      @@HyperScorpio8688 It is why Dreadnoughts clashing was avoided as much as possible, cause the damage dealt to either ship was extremely expensive to repair, and the loss of men, which there were many onboard Dreadnaoughts, were not worth brawling again. Warspite was likely the most expensive ship to repair after Jutland, because the ship's outer layers were basically rebuilt from the ground up due to the many holes in the hull, which was described by a sailor "like Swiss cheese" and even with all the repairs, she was never fully repaired, as repairs to her rudder for example which was damaged in Jutland, would have involved extensive reconstruction, so only "enough" repairs were done, why her rudder would randomly jam on her throughout he rest of her life, which ironically caused more damage to both the ship, and 2 of her sister ships, would have been cheaper to fully repair the rudder, and lets not mention the many refits and modernization she got, and the extensive repairs made after striking a mine which almost ripped the ship in half, which repairs involved cutting the ship in half to repair the main structure and extending her, so she was, at the end of the war, longer then her sister ships.
      Warspite did fight another Dreadnought in WW2, the Italian battleship "Giulio Cesare", which she scored the longest hit on a moving target of any warship, 26km, the shell exploding in the funnel of the Cesare, flooding 4 boiler rooms with smoke from fires that broke out immediately, causing her to retreat from the battle, almost as soon as it started, as losing 4 boilers seriously hindered the ships mobility.
