Thanks for watching everyone! I hope you found the video interesting! It is a redo of an older video, it was such an interesting topic to not make it again and hopefully a bit better. I also tested out a new feature with the premiere, I added a trailer. Let me know what you think!
If the nitrocelluloses, used in the manufacture of cordite, has been completely purefied for all remains of acid, spontaneous ingition can not take place. But if the nitrocellusis has been been manufactured in sloppy way, so that it still contain traces of acid, then spontaneus ignition is a real possibility.
One of four, or possibly five, Dreadnought battleships that spontaneously exploded. The main thing they had in common was that they all used British style powder. Something which may or may not have contributed to the loss of the three Battlecruisers at Jutland and Hood at the battle of the Denmark Strait and may have caused Novorossiysk to explode in 1955.
Very well thought out and done! I love the history of navies and naval combat, but I will admit I know very little about the Imperial Russian Navy, good job!
The Imperial Russian Navy is a very interesting topic! I think I will delve more into it at some point. The problem is finding sources (in English) and that I can trust.
Excellent account. According to David Woodward's 1955 book, The Russians at Sea, an old veteran of the previous Imperetzia Maria of the Crimean war period petitioned for a position on the ship. He was in his hundredth year, amd and was granted the position of watchman. Another thing Woodward states was brisge turret radio communication on Russian Black Sea predreadnoughts.
Excellent as always. It's so easy to cobble together a 7-minute video and wait for hits. Please never do that, the format you have which goes deeply into each ship is so refreshing on YT. It's how it used to be years ago. If you should ever have adverts, DON'T put them in the middle of your video. Just one last thing. Do you ever take a breath?
The Russian nave has a bad history. Bad issues have plagued them even today. It takes some courage to be in their navy. I respect the crews but have none for their leadership.

13:17 One thing to note here: A first officer of Breslau at that time was no other than Karl Dönitz.

Pretty sure the novo sunk due to an old German mine no?
Awesome video you plan to do one on the French battleship Liberté explosion in the future?
Added to the list!
Great video thanks 👍
Do you see torpedo boats?
8 from all directions
Another awesome video dude- well done
Thanks again!
Thank you for clearing up what that crane on the bow was for. I've seen pictures for years, but never had a explanation.

Question? You said first sailor heard hissing coming from front turret ..... wonder what caused the hissing

With its vast teritory, Russian must buiild three different Navy: North Atlantic Navy, Black Sea, and far eastern.

"and then things got worse"
A. V. Kolchack, a mines expert, thought it was spontaneous combustion of old cartridges.
👍🏻🏴🇬🇧 One of many such incidents.
Russian early dreadnoughts look the job, but failed miserably at the job at hand.
Still prettier than the hotels France head goin on! 😂
Thanks for covering another Russian ship. There are very few videos covering Russian vessels from the pre-dreadnought era until the aftermath of WW2.

She blew up because someone was smoking and then sank because of a storm. Nothing to do with Ukrainian missiles
Good video. I love short videos! RUclips!!! please listen!! I don't want a 60 minute video to tell me something that could be well expressed in 1:03
Well, that’s just the trailer. The real video is 21 minutes long. Although I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I´d say negilence, a piss drunk sailor smoking
