I love the fact real WW2 vets were used in this movie. Both American and Japanese vets. It was poetic. My Grandpa fought in the Pacific. He would of loved this movie. RIP Grandpa.
Maybe 'Nam vets; the New Jersey was reActivated and bombarded shore installations, if I remember correctly. I believe she was reActivated again for Desert Storm. I don't think there are any BB-trained crew after that.
Movie came out (taken a guess ) between 2005 and 2015. So let's assume the youngest man to serve on the ship was 18 at the time of WW2 2005 to 1945 end of WW2 was 60 years so that would make the youngest man 78 if he was 18 in 45 but chances are he joined just before or just on the start of WW2 so he would of had to been 3 years older to join 81.. so let's say he joined in 42" at the age of 18 he's now 81 I'm pretty sure the movie didn't come out till after 2005 and most service men would of been between the ages of 20 and 25. In saying that I'm sure your 100% right that they are vets but I'd say they would be most likely viet vets gulf war maybe even the oldest guys on tgis movie may have been Korean war vets. But I doute all of them where WW2 veterans. Think I remember reading somewhere by 2025 all WW2 vets would die out At 96 the last American airborne troop died in 2017 The last triple flying ace of USA is now 100 years old still alive And the oldest WW2 vet still alive and the last of his country is a Fijian man at 105 years old Nikola died in 2015 at 96 and he was the last surviving Russian who toke the ritchstag in German Frans stiglar was the last WW2 German fighter ace who died in 2008 at 92 (Btw look up the Frans stiglar- Charlie brown event) heartmoving story about charlie a b17 crew commander who along with 8 of his 11 crew survived the war when Frans stigler risked his life to save them and fly as a escort back to England Many years later the men the crew ans the family of the crews 17 children and 28 grandchildren all got to met there former foe now friend. And the bomber crew invited Frans to join there gentleman's club of old British b17 bomber men
I really liked how they not only incorporated the way the actual game Battleship is played, feeling out where your opponent is, but the aliens weapons look like the plastic tacks we use in the game as well.
True. I feel this movie was much maligned. It's SciFi, where you need to suspend belief for the duration. I actually wish they had made more of using the undersea sensor grid for hunting each other - made it more suspenseful, rather than just a straight formula action movie. Still, I liked it. 👍
Fun fact, in WW2 the US navy had a weapon called a hedgehog that was used to fight u boats. I saw a picture and the bombs on it look like longer versions of the pegs as well.
Yea. They should realy start to build Hyuuga like BBV already. Frontal guns and back flight deck with bridge and systems plus AA in the center. Not like those ships wouldnt be way more effective, armored and durable than today's easy to beat per submarine CV's (Right USN? Failing against a single submarine... not once but TWICE, i didnt forget that germany pulled the same against your fleet)
Well, it's hard to argue with the sheer force multiplier of the carrier. But I think the battleship still holds the edge in pure individual awesomeness.
A WWII battleship was probably, structurally, one of the toughest built ships ever. Then getting the alien ship within range of the 16in guns was perfect. I will always enjoy these clips.
Believe it or not, the Iowa class was NOT the best protected of the WWII US battleships, that honor goes to the preceding South Dakota class. Granted they displaced 10,000 tons less than Iowa but the armor was just as thick and did not have to cover as wide an area. The anti-torpedo defenses were better than the Iowa, that long bow was recognized by the Navy as a weak spot but was necessary to guarantee a top speed 5 knots or more greater than the preceding South Dakota and North Carolina classes.
The key was getting the alien ship in "cannot miss" range of the guns. The guns themselves have a range of ~24 miles, so if they had plenty of ammo and time they could have held back and had fun plinking at the alien ship. Unfortunately they didn't have ammo and time, meaning every shot from the 16" guns had to count. They had to damage the shield generators to allow reinforcements to arrive. Chances are those first two fighters to arrive had been part of a CAP either being relieved every few hours or being refueled by the tankers for just this opportunity
@@ericmason349 Oh yes indeed they are. I love destroyers, but they cannot take hits like an armored ship can ... where all you are going to do to a battleship if you hit it with anything short of a torpedo under the keel or a direct hit with a tactical nuke is piss it off.

All Iowa class battleships like the USS Missouri were upgraded with modern (at the time) systems in the 1980s. They also have cruise missiles, Phalanx CIWs, Harpoon torpedoes, and of course almost all the original cannons and guns. The Iowa class battleships have the modern weapons of a destroyer combined with the raw firepower, armor, and size of a battleship. They are practically unbeatable.
Hmmm, Harppon torpedoes eh! Better go back to your study book. Harpoon Anti-ship missiles not torpedoes. There are no torpedoes on an Iowa class battleship and never have been.
The Iowa class Battleships might be 70 years old but this is one reason to keep them around in a Digital World. When an EMF weapon disables all modern electronic ships these will be called into action. There is also a mothball fleet of cruisers and destroyers, ready to be activated in case of nuke EMF or weapon.
No, they won't be called back. None of the battleships (we have EIGHT the things as museums) will be brought back to active service. They are so old there are no replacement parts available anymore, nor ammo for the 5"/38s or the 16" guns. Much of the hull plating needs replacing because of rust and corrosion on all of them and the boilers ... are totally shot and the entire main powerplant would have to be rebuilt. To bring one back would take nearly 2 years of 24/7/365 work in a major shipyard with a large drydock just to get her ready for sea. Combat ... forget it. No ammunition in storage for them any longer. Rearming them with modern weapons would take at least a year, maybe two. Cost to bring ONE of the four Iowa class back to combat readiness ... two years and three to five BILLION dollars. Even more for either of the South Dakota class or the North Carolina. The eighth battleship is 110 year old Texas, a relic of WWI vintage in even worse shape than any of the newer (70 year old) seven.
I agree. The deployment of analogue war ships is the epitomy of battle ships. The use of computer based shios is a huge problem, These modern destroyers are essential to multi miles attacks but they cannot confront the enemy on level ground, The range of the guns on the battleships was 37-30 miles. They have all been fitted with nissle capabilities. All analogue. An EMP cannot stop these old battle horses.
LastWh1spr actually rail guns are not that powerful it uses electromagnetic energy to fire the round a longer distance but the shell is still smaller than 16 inches which means it would penetrate the armor on the Iowa class battleships
Next on Mythbusters - can you drift with a Battleship? "We need to build it small scale, and then we need to do it large scale! And then we need to blow it up!"
Needed a scene showing her smoking , damaged but being seen side on in distance by fleet answering the radio asking permission to join leading the fleet into pearl harbour.
Good editing. This was about the final battle, just like the title said. I loved how in the movie, when they were needed, the old guys stepped up . No questions except, "What do you need, son?" And then they provided it.
If theres one thing thats true, its the fact that no modern ship can beat the Iowa and missouri in how wonderful they look! They are some damn pretty ships i tell you that.
I'm pretty sure that rings true for most modern military vehicles. The older designs look better/prettier/more intimidating than their modern counterparts.
So were the Bismarck and the Tirpitz. So were Repulse, Prince of Wales and Hood. So were Musashi and Yamato. The Iowas are the only preserved and still floating albeit as museum ships. Many great ships are on the sea floor unfortunately.
One of my all time favorite movies. Some years ago when the Iowa was parked at the "mothball" fleet in Suisune bay I got close in my 21' Nordic picklefork and was in trouble with Navy persons who told me that I could not be that close. Great sight being that close. The Iowa is GIGANTIC
The part with the old vet, he says something like, “let’s drop some led on those..”. And not only do they do it, they do it with such a rate that the enemy crumbles with not the initial blow, but with the continuous strike from each round fired. Apparently you had the air force find their place at the correct moment as well!
look at the helmet on the pilot called Boomer he has a Aussie Flag on it, we dont have carriers so it must of happened near Australia. The closest thing we got to a carrier is called HMAS Canberra
This ship can fire all 16in guns on to one location an viola you have a one square mile landing pad. The German made gear driven system for the main guns was so accurate that in the 80's when the Iowa class was recalled there was NO NEED to alter this system. It was determined that there was no way to make the system more accurate.
Except of course that the propellant is completely inconsistent and fails CEP, though at a range that close it's not that critical...but why are they that close?
@@mzmadmike like you said the propellant and they only had enough ammo for a skirmish battle, so they needed to get into melee range to make sure each and every round hit home, plus looks cooler
Where did you find this about the german components? Most of thr documentation I can find about the turret and gun machining mention bethlehem steel, midvale, northern and waterbury tool companys.
+Andrea Bindolini, Vanguard was an off the shelf, broken shadow of the HMS Lion she could have been, her guns were smaller, fewer and way out of date (same old guns on her great auntie the Warspite). Iowa had equal protection, equal fire control, equal ergonomics, equal damage control, far better guns, greater survivability and greater speed and maneuverability, Iowa would absolutely win in a fight between it and HMS Vanguard. The only advantage Vanguard has over Iowa is see keeping, but both ships have so extremely good seakeeping anyway it would take a Catergory 3 hurricane for Vanguards better seekeeping to make any kind of difference.
Except anything equipped with modern munitions, may it be a modern destroyer with cruise missiles, jets, subs, torpedo helicopters. Battleships as a concept (and armored naval vessels in general) were abandoned for a reason, they are costly as shit, and easy to sink, hell they were obsolete by the late 1930's as the Japanese demonstrated early in the Pacific War with their carrier based fleet formations. The entire premise of the movie to work it requires a number of silly gimmicks: 1, It eliminates modern active over the horizon sensors and satellite communications. 2, For mysterious reasons it massively understates the effectiveness of modern active defenses like Close-in weapon systems. 3, The slow, dumb subsonic "handgrenade" munitions used by the aliens seem super effective against modern ships (tho their defenses are actually designed to intercept or evade supersonic missiles), but they seem quasi useless against a 100 year old steam ship. Why don't the aliens use missiles, rail guns or just plain old kinetic weapons? They seem profoundly stupid. And as a final point...If such an actual close range point fucking blank engagement was to happen, the nine 16 inch guns on the battleship would have disintegrated the alien ship in a single salvo, whatever material the thing would have been built out of. That is why battleships didn't fight at point blank ranges. It's still a good fist pumping scene, but don't use it as a reference to what beats what.
Still, just because of his superior sea keeping in bad seas, during joint exercises Vanguard was able to hit Iowa and Iowa was unable to return fire effectively.
Never mind "shielding" or "alien alloys". If a ship hurls a roughly 1.5 ton shell at you, never mind twenty, all of which are traveling very fast and full of lots of boom, you will be dead. Very, very, very dead.
I've never captained a battleship before, heck.. I've never even captained a rowboat! But.. I'm pretty sure you can't use a sudden anchor drop to force the massive ship into a tail-drifting broadside like that! Any idea how many tons of water would have to be pushed aside to move like that? Not that I care, it's still a cool scene though!
+AdmRose yeah on Gallons, Sloop of wars, frigates and brigs ranging from 200 to 1,500 tons in the 16th-18th century of sail. not a 57,000 ton late 1930's battleship.

My Uncle was ViceAdmiral Herbert Wiley, He commanded the U.S.S. West Virginia in 44' thru the end of the war. He was at the battle of Surigao the night before Leyte Gulf. I've read his reports and files from that battle thru Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He had an outstanding crew and used newly installed Cmax-1 radar during a new moon at midnight to target and drop 93 14inch shells into the bridge and hull of the I.J.N. Yamashiro from 13 miles away. California dropped 63 shells and Tennesee dropped 69 shells. Pennsylvania was unable to get a target lock. Maryland had difficulty and dropped 48 16-inch shells, Missississippi was only able to drop one complete salvo of 12 14-inch shells. This was the last Battleship vs Battleship fight in history. RearAdmiral Olendorf called them the Ghost Squadron as 5 of the 6 were sunk in the Pearl Harbor attack and were rebuilt and relaunched. My Uncle George Wiley was on the Bridge of the West Virginia at Pearl and was killed, This was also Vengence for Uncle Herbert. The drift move was not unheard of and was indeed called "ClubHauling".
Alien commander: GAH! What is happening?! WHY isn't the shield keeping that assault out?! Technician: Sir, the shields weren't designed to repel weaponry this primitive. They're throwing large, solid masses at us that explode on impact. Commander: Intensify the forward batteries! Don't let those projectiles through!
There is a game, subnautica, where there is an alien ground-to-air defend weapon that can fire an energy beam worth 100 megatons of TNT. That, is fire power.
Not the best Navy movie made but damn I still love watching a battleship open a six pack of whupass. Man I miss my days in the Navy. Didn't then but I definitely do now
I'm not American, but I dont I dont think the rest of the world realised how much we owe the US navy. They made global trade possible, end of story. I salute you
@big boy gustav before the US started patrolling the oceans after world war 2, we were still in a colonial system where nobody traded with eachother (more likely shooting at eachothers ships). This is not my theory, stole it from Peter Zeihan.
If it was the only mistake on this movie it would be still ok. But....Alien have the tech to fly the galaxy but they can't make a decent weapon for their fucking ship ? Cm'on with a bit of logic they should cut USN ships on 2 parts like butter with some laser beam. Also this shit can make a screen shield about hundreds kilometers but no individual shield . The best weapon we head here was Rihanna. Let her song for them five minutes and they would never come back to earth again for sure ^^
It really makes me sad that the military doesn't use Battleships anymore. The modern ones are cool and all ,but the old ones are just beasts, and could still be used to put up a pretty good fight on lets say, ISIS
Battleships became obsolete during WWII all because of the aircraft, Battleships were to big of a target and didn't (and never would) have enough AA defence against a large number of attacking aircraft. The only use for Battleships now days and many years after WWII were for land bombardment purposes. But destroyers, cruisers and frigates quickly stole that role as they were cheaper to produce and cheaper to maintain and operate. It would indeed be cool for Battleships to return but the cons would far out weigh the benefits.
Battleships may make a return, with the advances in CIWS point defense. The major problem for battleships is their massive sizes means they lack maneuverability, and are a much bigger target as someone else pointed out. CIWS neutralizes the advantages of small targets like missiles and aircraft. It won't eliminate them, but the fears of aircraft are lessed greatly. The issue would be giving the battleship an offensive complement that couldn't likewise be intercepted (the Israelis have defenses that can intercept artillery shells), but that will have a solution I figure in a while. Drones might just be the biggest enemy of capital ships' return, because of the possibilities. Cheers.
@@jackr2287 Iowa class Battleship is the most maneuverable and the Fastest Battleship in the World. It's speed can match the speed of Nimitz class carrier, Aegis Cruiser and a modern destroyer
Iain is right: Look at how well 'Bismarck' did against the annoying Fairey Swordfish biplanes or 617 Squadron RAF dealing with 'Tirpitz' in Norway Two 12,000 bombs went clean through her decks and that was it. You can't stop something that heavy dropping vertically from the air. These days it is missiles that are the hazard against big ships of any kind as we Brits found out in San Carlos Water during the Falklands War. French 'Exocet' missiles actually.
¡Esta parte de la peli es muy buena y los efectos digitales y visuales son impresionantes y unicos,me gusta mucho este película es increíble y única muchas gracias!!👍😉
You guys are talking about full proper working condition but there is this thing called "skeleton crew" that can perform basic runs plus a few cannon saves, besides this battleship was used in three different wars (WW2, Korea and Operation Desert Storm AKA Persian Gulf War) after all this time one might think it has been upgraded to do certain things and systems automaticly in order to reduce the number of the members of the crew
All you people just want to question this movie because you didnt like it. If you didnt like it, then WHY ARE YOU FUCKING WATCHING THE VIDEO! COMMON SENSE PEOPLE! If you are questioning because the amount of crew and shit just enjoy the movie stop questioning it! Let it be a badass scene.
my favourite part about the movie? Unlike almost every other american war film, the Americans get their asses saved by the Aussies. Glad the director finally realised America isn't invincible against alien threats.
They are all fully stocked, The congress has passed laws to refurbish these battle horses to be brought back to ready condition. There are crews that are paid to keep these ships ready to go, In case of emergency. As I stated in my first post 4 months ago, They have all been refurbisehed back to orginal condition, with missles and other modern ordinance, but those things will go down on the first EMP to be used against it. The rest of the ship will be able to function in analogue and still be able to fire the big guns. So in a warship battle against say Russia, the Russian ships wil be dead in the water while the old battle horses will still be able to navicate the ocean and then use the big guns to take out the enemy. The younger folks don't understand analogue. They are under the false assumption that electronics rules the day. WRONG!! I use a turntable hooked up to 1970's stereo equipment and after trying digital CD's the sound quality is not even close to analogue. The reason is that digital recordings are squashed to fit in a tiny area. Whereas analogue is played back the way it was recorded.
You have no concept of modern warships then. I love the Iowas as much as the next military history buff, but you have to be serious, battleships are pass their days. They’re too big and vulnerable and are a massive investment. For the price of one battleship, you could’ve possibly bought 2 or 3, maybe even 4 or more smaller more nimble and mobile cruisers/destroyers/frigates. From what I’ve read, modern warships have better range and armament than WWII battleships.
plus Carriers have basically supplanted their Role, due to having "over the horizon" capability. Railguns MIGHT bring Battleships back, but it's far more likely they'll just mount two on a Cruiser and keep it multirole rather than make a Dedicated Rail battleship.
Anderson Xiong Ok then HOW ABOUT we give these Behemoths a modern technology upgrade? Like Railguns, Radars, Gatling guns, Anti-air missiles and more other stuff?
Folks if an electro-magnetic pulse ever hits, all of the modern technology that exists today would be knocked out, so having the battleships from World War Two ready to do battle is a very wise thing to do, because they didn't have all of the computer and electronics that we have now days. That's like having an electric range in your home, but if you lose electricity, you cannot cook, but with a gas range you can still cook. Modern technology is great, but sometimes old school is better.
When he changed the target range to only 2,1, or zero and then anchored in. He then meant close quarters from that point forward which also deflected the incoming missiles.

Zack Haycraft well okay then they can just use their tomahawk missiles!
I don't care if this scene doesn't make sense (the fact that a space ship has no shielding against big bullets) it's still AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen just big stupid fun. Then again I don't know if even the aliens had a strong enough forcefield to block those FU rounds haha
Me and my dad think this is a badass scene because the USS Missouri was a badass ship during WW2
Next on Mythbusters - can you drift with a Battleship?
"We need to build it small scale, and then we need to do it large scale! And then we need to blow it up!"
Yes, a huge battleship can drift. The portayel in the movie was embelished some, but it can be done.
Imagine being one of the pilots and you just see the Mighty Mo battle scared after saving the planet.
Needed a scene showing her smoking , damaged but being seen side on in distance by fleet answering the radio asking permission to join leading the fleet into pearl harbour.
@@alexh3974, I would have loved a scene like that.
Seeing mo come alive is glorious and giving a full broad side attack is just 😘👌🏼
Good editing.
This was about the final battle, just like the title said.
I loved how in the movie, when they were needed, the old guys stepped up .
No questions except, "What do you need, son?"
And then they provided it.
THat's what us Veterans do.

I know.
I'm a Navy vet.
If theres one thing thats true, its the fact that no modern ship can beat the Iowa and missouri in how wonderful they look! They are some damn pretty ships i tell you that.
I'm pretty sure that rings true for most modern military vehicles. The older designs look better/prettier/more intimidating than their modern counterparts.
So were the Bismarck and the Tirpitz. So were Repulse, Prince of Wales and Hood. So were Musashi and Yamato. The Iowas are the only preserved and still floating albeit as museum ships. Many great ships are on the sea floor unfortunately.
The elderly on those 50s are awsome every man on that ship and every ship that's ever served in any branch is awsome
One of my all time favorite movies. Some years ago when the Iowa was parked at the "mothball" fleet in Suisune bay I got close in my 21' Nordic picklefork and was in trouble with Navy persons who told me that I could not be that close. Great sight being that close. The Iowa is GIGANTIC
One of the funniest and silliest films in a long while. Looking forward to the sequel where a Spanish galleon sinks the US Pacific fleet.
This scene epitomizes the sci-fi/action movie axiom "it doesn't have to be realistic, it just has to look cool" 😄😁😅🤣
The Rule of Cool ...
cheesy but so awesome
The U.S.S. Missouri is truly an unsinkable ship. Not even aliens can sink her!
Hence MIGHTY MO!
@@ninjogo5338 You got that right!
No such thing as an unsinkable ship. Just ask Titanic, Bismarck, Yamato, etc.
@@patrickmccrann991 it's a shame the Titanic wasent named the Missouri, lol.
she will not sink she will win the final fight of the sea war
The part with the old vet, he says something like, “let’s drop some led on those..”. And not only do they do it, they do it with such a rate that the enemy crumbles with not the initial blow, but with the continuous strike from each round fired. Apparently you had the air force find their place at the correct moment as well!
Did anyone else get goosebumps from the jets/music coming in?
*Edit: I mean at 4:45
ProtoxxGaming yeah me
Battle on Land Air and Sea yeah it's just amazing
they are Australian jets as well
How do you know that :O ?
look at the helmet on the pilot called Boomer he has a Aussie Flag on it, we dont have carriers so it must of happened near Australia. The closest thing we got to a carrier is called HMAS Canberra
Moral lesson: even though your old you could still kick some ass
but seriously these turrets turn this fast now?? part of the newest installments?? would be nice on world of warships
U P G R A D E
He got a 19pt capt upgrade in a Santa box. Super rare
yes newest upgrades after world war 2 i geuss
The main character invested 50$ worth of premium currency into his ship. Those poor F2P aliens never had a chance.
That. Was. Excellent!
I seriously never get tired of watching that warship shooting those canons
2:02 *DEJA VU* lol
The part with the old sailor saying “let’s drop some lead on those mother(bleep)” makes me laugh.
This ship can fire all 16in guns on to one location an viola you have a one square mile landing pad. The German made gear driven system for the main guns was so accurate that in the 80's when the Iowa class was recalled there was NO NEED to alter this system. It was determined that there was no way to make the system more accurate.
Except of course that the propellant is completely inconsistent and fails CEP, though at a range that close it's not that critical...but why are they that close?
@@mzmadmike like you said the propellant and they only had enough ammo for a skirmish battle, so they needed to get into melee range to make sure each and every round hit home, plus looks cooler
Where did you find this about the german components? Most of thr documentation I can find about the turret and gun machining mention bethlehem steel, midvale, northern and waterbury tool companys.
Simple words for this movie
"Dont mess with the navy!"
Nothing beats the mighty mo
Well, except the HMS Vanguard during NATO exercises after WWII
+Andrea Bindolini, Vanguard was an off the shelf, broken shadow of the HMS Lion she could have been, her guns were smaller, fewer and way out of date (same old guns on her great auntie the Warspite). Iowa had equal protection, equal fire control, equal ergonomics, equal damage control, far better guns, greater survivability and greater speed and maneuverability, Iowa would absolutely win in a fight between it and HMS Vanguard.
The only advantage Vanguard has over Iowa is see keeping, but both ships have so extremely good seakeeping anyway it would take a Catergory 3 hurricane for Vanguards better seekeeping to make any kind of difference.
Except anything equipped with modern munitions, may it be a modern destroyer with cruise missiles, jets, subs, torpedo helicopters. Battleships as a concept (and armored naval vessels in general) were abandoned for a reason, they are costly as shit, and easy to sink, hell they were obsolete by the late 1930's as the Japanese demonstrated early in the Pacific War with their carrier based fleet formations.
The entire premise of the movie to work it requires a number of silly gimmicks:
1, It eliminates modern active over the horizon sensors and satellite communications.
2, For mysterious reasons it massively understates the effectiveness of modern active defenses like Close-in weapon systems.
3, The slow, dumb subsonic "handgrenade" munitions used by the aliens seem super effective against modern ships (tho their defenses are actually designed to intercept or evade supersonic missiles), but they seem quasi useless against a 100 year old steam ship. Why don't the aliens use missiles, rail guns or just plain old kinetic weapons? They seem profoundly stupid.
And as a final point...If such an actual close range point fucking blank engagement was to happen, the nine 16 inch guns on the battleship would have disintegrated the alien ship in a single salvo, whatever material the thing would have been built out of. That is why battleships didn't fight at point blank ranges.
It's still a good fist pumping scene, but don't use it as a reference to what beats what.
Still, just because of his superior sea keeping in bad seas, during joint exercises Vanguard was able to hit Iowa and Iowa was unable to return fire effectively.
+Andrea Bindolini
Proof.......
2:00
Alien: *miss shot*
Hopper: My turn
Man i remember this movie when it came out when i was in 6 grade i still like it this movie is awesome.
2:19 mother... Fireeeee felt so strong there 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🔥😩😩
And the Mighty Mo has taken the title as being the most powerful ship of the Universe!
I mean her only weakness is the range of her guns.... there is basicly no other ship that outgunnes her in direct ship to ship battle
@@Knuspermonster yeah and also her guns is just as powerful as Yamato
@@Knuspermonster except all three of her sisters can do the exact same
I think we can all agree that this movie is one of those movies where you just shut your brain off and enjoy
Never mind "shielding" or "alien alloys". If a ship hurls a roughly 1.5 ton shell at you, never mind twenty, all of which are traveling very fast and full of lots of boom, you will be dead. Very, very, very dead.
i like the little australian touch they added.
Appropriate since many Australian and New Zealanders fought bravely in WW1 and WW2.
this movie never gets old
Bringing the USS Missouri back into action gives me such a patriotic woodie.
"Can only be solved by steel and blood"
-Bismark
That seems correct mr bismark
Well, you left out almost half of the most important parts of this scene
I've never captained a battleship before, heck.. I've never even captained a rowboat! But.. I'm pretty sure you can't use a sudden anchor drop to force the massive ship into a tail-drifting broadside like that! Any idea how many tons of water would have to be pushed aside to move like that? Not that I care, it's still a cool scene though!
It actually exists. It's called clubhauling.
On battleship sized vessels? that chain would have snapped as soon as the anchor got a grip of anything.
+AdmRose
yeah on Gallons, Sloop of wars, frigates and brigs ranging from 200 to 1,500 tons in the 16th-18th century of sail.
not a 57,000 ton late 1930's battleship.
@@roberth.goddardthefatherof6376 there are cases of some stupid crazy captians in WW2 actually pulling that shit of with some very chonky ladys .........
My Uncle was ViceAdmiral Herbert Wiley, He commanded the U.S.S. West Virginia in 44' thru the end of the war. He was at the battle of Surigao the night before Leyte Gulf. I've read his reports and files from that battle thru Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He had an outstanding crew and used newly installed Cmax-1 radar during a new moon at midnight to target and drop 93 14inch shells into the bridge and hull of the I.J.N. Yamashiro from 13 miles away. California dropped 63 shells and Tennesee dropped 69 shells. Pennsylvania was unable to get a target lock. Maryland had difficulty and dropped 48 16-inch shells, Missississippi was only able to drop one complete salvo of 12 14-inch shells. This was the last Battleship vs Battleship fight in history. RearAdmiral Olendorf called them the Ghost Squadron as 5 of the 6 were sunk in the Pearl Harbor attack and were rebuilt and relaunched. My Uncle George Wiley was on the Bridge of the West Virginia at Pearl and was killed, This was also Vengence for Uncle Herbert. The drift move was not unheard of and was indeed called "ClubHauling".
You may be badass, but you'll never be drifting a battleship badass.
Alien commander: GAH! What is happening?! WHY isn't the shield keeping that assault out?!
Technician: Sir, the shields weren't designed to repel weaponry this primitive. They're throwing large, solid masses at us that explode on impact.
Commander: Intensify the forward batteries! Don't let those projectiles through!
Alien Lieutenant: TOO LATE
that's some real firepower
There is a game, subnautica, where there is an alien ground-to-air defend weapon that can fire an energy beam worth 100 megatons of TNT. That, is fire power.
Not the best Navy movie made but damn I still love watching a battleship open a six pack of whupass. Man I miss my days in the Navy. Didn't then but I definitely do now
I've seen the movie many times. It doesn't get old. The comraderie is very good.
4:45 Jet pilots be like, "Don't worry kids the Aussies have arrived."
I remember when all 4 of our battleships were active. Needless to say our oceans were very peaceful.
I'm not American, but I dont I dont think the rest of the world realised how much we owe the US navy. They made global trade possible, end of story. I salute you
@big boy gustav before the US started patrolling the oceans after world war 2, we were still in a colonial system where nobody traded with eachother (more likely shooting at eachothers ships). This is not my theory, stole it from Peter Zeihan.
*Laughs in 33 battleships of the RN Grand Fleet*
correction: 35 Battleships *AND* 11 battlecruisers, and that's just capital ships
@@snoomtreb Peter Zeihan is a CIA asset lmaooo
Nations have traded for over 5000 years
Those 16” guns tho! So much damn power!
The Yamato can beat it
It has 19 inch guns
The Queen Elizabeth can beat it I think
Affair matches the Bismarck
The scharnhorst can annihilate the New Jersey battleship with torpedoes
Where can I get one of those Stalinium steel anchor chains?
From gulag.
Comrade, all stalinium is mined from the glorious Siberian gulag, you will have fun.

Stalin's basement
If it was the only mistake on this movie it would be still ok. But....Alien have the tech to fly the galaxy but they can't make a decent weapon for their fucking ship ? Cm'on with a bit of logic they should cut USN ships on 2 parts like butter with some laser beam. Also this shit can make a screen shield about hundreds kilometers but no individual shield . The best weapon we head here was Rihanna. Let her song for them five minutes and they would never come back to earth again for sure ^^
If only my ship in World of Warships can do that...
I think that anyone who has an Iowa or Missouri in WoWS wishes that.
Aliens when they see a ship drifting: EXCUSE ME WHAT THE HECK
2:00 N-NANI THE SHIP IS DRIFTING *best initial d moment* lmao
Why are the gunners outside when the cannon's are firing!? That much noise could kill you (or make you deaf)
Battleship is a bloody awesome movie!
It really makes me sad that the military doesn't use Battleships anymore. The modern ones are cool and all ,but the old ones are just beasts, and could still be used to put up a pretty good fight on lets say, ISIS
Battleships became obsolete during WWII all because of the aircraft, Battleships were to big of a target and didn't (and never would) have enough AA defence against a large number of attacking aircraft. The only use for Battleships now days and many years after WWII were for land bombardment purposes. But destroyers, cruisers and frigates quickly stole that role as they were cheaper to produce and cheaper to maintain and operate. It would indeed be cool for Battleships to return but the cons would far out weigh the benefits.
ISIS has no significant naval power - the bastards hide in the desert.
Battleships may make a return, with the advances in CIWS point defense. The major problem for battleships is their massive sizes means they lack maneuverability, and are a much bigger target as someone else pointed out. CIWS neutralizes the advantages of small targets like missiles and aircraft. It won't eliminate them, but the fears of aircraft are lessed greatly. The issue would be giving the battleship an offensive complement that couldn't likewise be intercepted (the Israelis have defenses that can intercept artillery shells), but that will have a solution I figure in a while. Drones might just be the biggest enemy of capital ships' return, because of the possibilities.
Cheers.
@@jackr2287 Iowa class Battleship is the most maneuverable and the Fastest Battleship in the World. It's speed can match the speed of Nimitz class carrier, Aegis Cruiser and a modern destroyer
Iain is right: Look at how well 'Bismarck' did against the annoying Fairey Swordfish biplanes or 617 Squadron RAF dealing with 'Tirpitz' in Norway Two 12,000 bombs went clean through her decks and that was it. You can't stop something that heavy dropping vertically from the air.
These days it is missiles that are the hazard against big ships of any kind as we Brits found out in San Carlos Water during the Falklands War. French 'Exocet' missiles actually.
Would of loved to see the mighty Yamoto in this scene
We all would, mate. :( Sadly, it's a hollywood movie and they'd prefer using their own. Also, Yamato is resting under the pacific....
Dude the Yamoto is dead.
Yamato had to retreat when fighting a fleet of tin can destroyers lol, Yamato is a failure of a ship
2 problems, A. it would make no sense to be there, B. its chilling at the bottom of the ocean rusting away.
The only thing the Yamato is good for is being a shitty submarine
Was I the only one who just about cheered when the Missouri fired off the first broadside.
¡Esta parte de la peli es muy buena y los efectos digitales y visuales son impresionantes y unicos,me gusta mucho este película es increíble y única muchas gracias!!👍😉
2:35 you just know the alien ship is Pissed Off.
How did they use this ship it usually needs like 300 crew but they have like 20 guys
Fox hound
Well it was an estimated 400 to 500 crew for the 889ft battleship
And 2 ppl man those useless machine guns.
You guys are talking about full proper working condition but there is this thing called "skeleton crew" that can perform basic runs plus a few cannon saves, besides this battleship was used in three different wars (WW2, Korea and Operation Desert Storm AKA Persian Gulf War) after all this time one might think it has been upgraded to do certain things and systems automaticly in order to reduce the number of the members of the crew
Same reason why 5 guys are arguing about a classic murican propaganda bs hollywood scene in the comment section when there could be 1500 of you.
Gonna tell you a secret: It's only a movie!
Aliens on land : Haha Now we got this station-
Other Alien : What is that thing?!
Aliens : NANI!?
[Very Big Explosion on Station and they all Dead]
“Let’s drop some lead on those mother-FIRE!!!!”😂😂
Loved this scene, and the warplanes entrance
I'm all up for a prequel involving Yamato...
We all would love that. :(
I would love one with Bismarck...an upgraded version
Unfortunately due to historical accuracy they're not going to raise the Bismarck or the Yamato from the bottom of the ocean where thay belong
Space Battleship: Yamato was an anime in the early 1980s.
Grey Ronin poor thing got sunk
They actually fought the last one smartly. Knock out the force field so the cavalry can come save you
All you people just want to question this movie because you didnt like it. If you didnt like it, then WHY ARE YOU FUCKING WATCHING THE VIDEO! COMMON SENSE PEOPLE! If you are questioning because the amount of crew and shit just enjoy the movie stop questioning it! Let it be a badass scene.
my favourite part about the movie? Unlike almost every other american war film, the Americans get their asses saved by the Aussies. Glad the director finally realised America isn't invincible against alien threats.
Love it. Imagine if the iowas turrets swung that fast in real life
So we know the Missouri can citadel an alien ship's bow armor from 2km.
The last battle of Missouri was great!
That British fighter pilot Boomer with his accent: "Locked on target" LOL so sickkk!! :D
David Z he's Australian you idiot!
OH OOPS.. wow..a-hole..no need for the name calling.. Thanks for clearing it up.
I’m surprised at how much ammo that was found on a ship that spent all those years in dry dock
They are all fully stocked, The congress has passed laws to refurbish these battle horses to be brought back to ready condition. There are crews that are paid to keep these ships ready to go, In case of emergency. As I stated in my first post 4 months ago, They have all been refurbisehed back to orginal condition, with missles and other modern ordinance, but those things will go down on the first EMP to be used against it. The rest of the ship will be able to function in analogue and still be able to fire the big guns. So in a warship battle against say Russia, the Russian ships wil be dead in the water while the old battle horses will still be able to navicate the ocean and then use the big guns to take out the enemy. The younger folks don't understand analogue. They are under the false assumption that electronics rules the day. WRONG!! I use a turntable hooked up to 1970's stereo equipment and after trying digital CD's the sound quality is not even close to analogue. The reason is that digital recordings are squashed to fit in a tiny area. Whereas analogue is played back the way it was recorded.
@@atbl100 amen!!!
usa and japan combined together to figth alien space ship
muhamad shafiri baharum well believe it or not Japan is USA ally so yea
My favorite scene.. my man literally drifted a battleship
no matter what anyone says. this movie rocks
Imagine the news tryin to report this shit.
“.. and then the surviving navy uh.. commanded a 70 yr.. crewed by pensioners to.. wait what!?
This is why wee need battleships still, they can take a lot of damage without sinking until destroyers which blowup in one hit.
Loads of damage and also packs heavy punches!
You have no concept of modern warships then.
I love the Iowas as much as the next military history buff, but you have to be serious, battleships are pass their days. They’re too big and vulnerable and are a massive investment. For the price of one battleship, you could’ve possibly bought 2 or 3, maybe even 4 or more smaller more nimble and mobile cruisers/destroyers/frigates. From what I’ve read, modern warships have better range and armament than WWII battleships.
plus Carriers have basically supplanted their Role, due to having "over the horizon" capability. Railguns MIGHT bring Battleships back, but it's far more likely they'll just mount two on a Cruiser and keep it multirole rather than make a Dedicated Rail battleship.
pendraco2000 only problem is that I’m tests railguns only last 3-4 shots before ripping themselves apart :(
Anderson Xiong Ok then HOW ABOUT we give these Behemoths a modern technology upgrade? Like Railguns, Radars, Gatling guns, Anti-air missiles and more other stuff?
Folks if an electro-magnetic pulse ever hits, all of the modern technology that exists today would be knocked out, so having the battleships from World War Two ready to do battle is a very wise thing to do, because they didn't have all of the computer and electronics that we have now days. That's like having an electric range in your home, but if you lose electricity, you cannot cook, but with a gas range you can still cook. Modern technology is great, but sometimes old school is better.
Great compilation scene!
god i love that old battle ship
When he changed the target range to only 2,1, or zero and then anchored in. He then meant close quarters from that point forward which also deflected the incoming missiles.
there is nothing on earth that us can't fight, so they decide to create aliens and fight them.
Q John what abouy emus?
Very entertaining film and the CGI is amazing! Pure fantasy and excitement the whole film through!
This scene i never bored
Anyone else notice how all the aliens look like Vladimir Putin?!?
Americas work at it's finest.
Patch McPatch ...it looks more like Donald Duck....oh Sorry....I men Donald Trump
*o k , t h e n . . .*
If only they had the Montana class battleship...
It would be bless if there’s a movie about an Iowa class battleships vs the 4-5 aliens ship like this
You can call this a.. Blast from the past. My comedy career died before it started
All those vets who served and THEN helped defeat those aliens deserve a MEDAL OF HONOR. MINIMUM.
Deberian de hacer la segunda parte donde los alieniginas regresan para poder demostrar al que los vencio en una batalla naval.que ellos son los mejores.
Alien Mothership: You lose.Missouri: I am a battleship, and I don't lose. *fires last round at relay*
