    Tirpitz: “I have a new brilliant strategy to fight the Royal Navy. I call it “Sitting around and looking scary and unpredictable.”
    German high command: “Das ist sehr schlau!”
    Dambusters: “You’re holding STILL are you?…..good…..very good…..”

    U really see in WW2 the decline of naval battleships. With the increased speed & aerial maneuvering of aircraft. And the increased reliability & range of attack airplane & bombers. Battleships were just huge targets in the water. Unless you were able to maintain support aircrafts around them,which is not feasible. It was just technology overtaking naval craft. A shame! They were beautiful! Well done sir! As always!

    Your graphics for this Tirpitz post 3/3 on Ops Obviate/Catechism are incorrect. There was no Royal Navy involvement, yet you show the RN’s White Ensign rather than the Royal Air Force’s (sky blue) Ensign. You also list “Willie” Tait as Group Captain Royal Navy, when it should read Group Captain Royal Air Force. I had a friend who was one of the Australian Pilots in RAF 9SQN on these two raids and I know he would’ve appreciated the corrections.

      @@xeiv1 Well, I was hoping the person would define Main Line and intact. But for completeness, France and Italy both had a couple of battleships survive WWII. The US and the UK had bunches. Even most of the ships sunk/damaged at Pearl Harbor survived WWII. A ship as old as USS Texas survives to this day, but even in WWII would not have been considered a front line battleship.

      @@jimsackmanbusinesscoaching1344 I assumed he meant battleships in general, main line just being there, because, we can also put Mikasa in here, considering she survived both WW and is over 130 year old museum ship in Japan, she is in fact the only ship of her class and would be considered main line pre-dreadnought battleship. But you are correct, Germany probably was the only country that lost all battleships, Italy, France, Japan, GB, US all had surviving battleships, of which there were plenty of ships that SHOULD have been preserved.

  • @mikael2670
    @mikael2670 4 месяца назад

    Sometimes doing less produces more results, i mean look at how many ship got tied up due to the risk it possed to ally convoys. Convoys further out = Far less tonage shipping or way more ships needed and also needing more escorts = Less to deply elsewhere. In a sense tirpitz was a sucess even when it barely didn't get to do much directly - Bogging down plenty of resources that were depirately needed elsewhere. The english admirality knew it and its not without reason they made it a high priority to neutralize
