    Destroyers were in high demand in the Royal Navy during World War II due to their sheer versatility at escorting convoys, chasing subs, scouting for enemy activity and other vital tasks. HMS Cavalier was one of 112 destroyers built by British shipyards all over the country during the War Emergency Program of 1939-1945. Step aboard the Royal Navy’s last World War II destroyer!
    Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

    She was our plane guard, for HMS Victorious, Far East Fleet, 1963/1965. During flying stations, the launch astern of us, for recovery, off our port side. Always a comfort to see her there. God bless her and her old crew.

    My claim to fame.... I was one of a hand full of Sea Cadets who were invited aboard Rapid for the race, we then did a farewell tour around Scotland and visited Norway. As a 14yr old it was the best experience i had, still have great memories of it.
    Actually completely accidentally ended up working with one of the regular ships company a few years ago, he confirmed the Rapid was used for target practice.

      That is what happens when a cheap ass state run by Teabaggers skimps on preservation. The only time the boys in Austin care about the military or history is for photo ops to get them reelected. They won't spend the money necessary to actually make sure it is around for future generations. But hey, Texas is one of the BEST places for millionaires to live they save so much money on taxes. Ridiculous.

    I am very grateful this ship is preserved. My father served on a 'C class' sister ship, R62/D10 HMS Cassandra. He spoke little about the war until I took him on an emotional visit to Cavalier. On touring the ship, especially the radio operations room, he opened up with all the stories. He passed away not long after.

      Returning from Russia during an Arctic storm HMS Caprice suffered storm damage. To protect her as best they could ,CAPRICE was moved into the body of the convoy and her place on the screen was taken by CASSANDRA. An hour or so later CASSSANDRA as hit by a torpedo from U365 and her bows blown off. She returned to Archangel under escort from 2 Russian minesweepers and repairs effected so that she could get back to a yard in the UK. U365 was sunk 2 days later by an aircraft from HMS CAMPANIA which many will remember was later the Festival of Britain ship.
      I served in CAPRICE for the 1959/60 commission on the Far East Station. the first since her total overhaul and modernisation. We were buddy ships with CAVALIER and enjoyed a very close relationship although they will admit that CAPRICE usually came out top in most events.
      Both ships could get a move on and we often raced CAVALIER at speeds in excess of 36 knots, an adventure all its own.

My father was one of the primary people who tirelessly campaigned for her to be saved. He used his rank and name to assist with Cavalier's 'Free' safe harbor at that time.

    Not once does it mention that HMS Cavalier was preserved in Hebburn on the river Tyne for many years before she was moved to Chatham dock in 1999. Hebburn was famous for building destroyers in its hay day. She was always open to the public but admittedly she was somewhat neglected until she was moved.

    This particular ship was up until about 20 years ago kept in the dry dock at the Old Hawthorn Leslie yard in Hebburn on the Tyne, and for that reason I always believed that she had been built there, probably because her famous cousin HMS Kelly was built there. Funny how these videos educate you in ways you would never expect them to.

    It was explained that the ship was riveted and welded from new at the start of this film. I was under the impression that when it was built it was all riveted. But it was involved in a collision later in its life and repaired after the war. They welded it when the bow was repaired, not when it was made.

    Don't like to boast but her sister ship CAPRICE achieved 36 knots in 66, thus beating both ships, whilst I was aboard her te, arrific turn of speed with deck plates rattling and rolling. I ca confirm, as one of the ex-crew members described, in heavy seas there was little crew ctivity taken place as it was far too dangerous to be on the upper decks, volumes of water washing down the Port and Starboard waist and the foc'sal completely awash. Good that they preserved one of a kind of this class of ship to commemorate their war service of ww2.

      A crying shame she was scrapped after only 15yrs and no combat. Sadly Battleships are very expensive and post war Britain was skint. Some of the modernised carriers would have been good museums too, but again just unwillingness to invest the money. Only the US was rich enough to preserve their ships.
      Warspite would have been great to preserve, but at the end of 30yrs of constant service was in poor state.

      Illustrious is the ship they really should have kept. Vanguard was pretty lackluster. Illustrious was going to be kept but instead they scrapped her in a shameful act of betrayal.
      Warspite's scrapping, ... well salvaging, is one of the best stories ever too, tbh, taking around a decade and several attempts to salvage her because she had decided she didn't want to go to the scrappers.

  • @sarjim4381
    @sarjim4381 6 лет назад +4

    The gunnery officer described a shortcoming of British destroyers not corrected until the advent of the Battle class destroyers at the very end of the war. For some reason, the RN didn't see the value of enclosed gunhouses in destroyers. something adopted by the USN in the mid-30's. As the officer described, and open gunhouse allowed the seas to rush in during heavy weather. During Arctic convoys, a lot of sailors spend their time chopping ice from the guns so they'd just be useable. An enclosed gunhouse also ejects the spent cartridge cases outside the gunhouse instead of on the deck for sailors to fall over and, in some case, be seriously injured. I've never read any defense of these open gunhouses from the RN side that made sense other than supposedly saving weight. With huge protective shield needed for the lower mount of superfiring mounts, I can't imagine it saved any weight either.
    By the time of the Battle class, the Admiralty finally saw the advantages of an enclosed gunhouse, and all subsequent British destroyers came with them. That didn't correct the problem of the long serving WWII destroyers and frigates that still had open mounts, so British sailors paid the price for this shortsightedness well into the 1970's.

    The ship that deserved the most to be preserved was the HMS Warspite . She had the most battle honours but Great Britain wouldn't preserve any battleship. When it got down to the very last battleship the HMs Vanguard they still had to scrap it. Fortunately, a lot of these great ships are represented as a high quality plastic model kits are now available.

    11:10 The troop-carrying liners mostly crossed the Atlantic unescorted, as they were too fast to be intercepted by U-boats. The Royal and US Navies had ships with the speed to keep up, but lacked the endurance. The RN ships would come out to meet the troop carriers as they reached the Western Approaches and escort them to their destination ports. That's when the RN ships' speed was used.
    Escort duty had its perils for the RN ships - look up Queen Mary and HMS Curacoa.

      First, they are working on the hcms haida episode for over 2 months, it will come
      Also i think we had already too many british designed ships naval legends episodes, i dont see the fuss about one of like 30 tribal class destroyers.

    Why is there no mention of it sinking a battleship in 10 seconds while only receiving a dent or two in return? Or, was the open top bridge so the crew could thumb their noses at the battleships they sank saying "neener, neever, you can't see me!"
    These videos are great, it's just a shame that the game has absolutely nothing to do with reality.

    • @Jon908584

      Details please. There is no record of a destroyer of any Navy ever sinking a battleship.

      i mean there already is a video about the Blyskawica, its actually pretty old now, about the time they released the premium

      Both Blyskawica and Cavalier were built at Whites shipyard on the Isle of Wight.

    Cavalier was capable of more than 32 knots, she was the fastest ship in the fleet and exceeded 36 knots.

      For submersibles,they were not. They were much more accurate than a Hedgehog and miles better than depth charges.

    An open bridge? I thought that stopped being a thing 50 or 60 years before.

    3:09 You said 2 twin and 1 single for the Oerlikons, but the video shows it as 2 twin and 3 singles.
    3:04 Also said the Bofors is a twin-mount but proceeds to show a single-mount.

    One major improvement to this site would be to call calibres in the actual size they were when built. In other words don't convert Imperial measurements to metric except in parentheses. It's a bloody 2 pounder you plonker!

    • @simongleaden2864
      @simongleaden2864 4 года назад

      I'm not surprised by it because I knew that was the norm when destroyers like this were built, but I'd like to know WHY an open bridge, so exposed to the elements?

    These videos are awesome. The game is also great. They change ships (Japanese destroyers) around too much for my liking. But it's a great game. I just wish they wouldn't nerf destroyers; as the game play is somewhat stale with slow, camping battleships.
