10 Jahre World of Warships Jubiläum: Ein Rückblick auf die Anfänge und die Entwicklung des Spiels

00:00:00

Every hour you can claim a special Ship 10 container, 3 like and subscribe permanent camouflages, 3 rare bonuses containers and 3000 community tokens.

00:01:38 This journey isn't just about ships and battles, it's also about the videos we've created along the way. From naval legends, how to play and armada, to drydock and beyond. These stories have grown together with the game, bringing history to life as World of Warships has evolved. Let's sail down memory lane and relive each year of the game and the videos that tell its story as we mark a full decade at sea together.

00:02:08 2015 was where it all began, the very first year of World of Warships. Back then the game set sail with just two ports, New York and Ocean. It was a modest start, but it laid the foundation for everything that came after. That first year also introduced Ranked Battles, a more competitive battle type where every win earned you a star and the best Captains could fight their way up to the top.

00:02:32 Alongside the game's debut, Naval Legends began with its very first episode on USS Yorktown, setting the stage for how the game would connect with real naval history.

00:02:46 Sie waren zu sein, die besten zu sein. Sie sahen die Begründung hinweg. Sie sahen die Tragedie, und lieben die Kriege. Sie sahen die Geschichte durch die Freude ihrer Kruise. Sie sind die船, die zu sein werden, die »Naval Legends«. In dieser Episode, USS Yorktown – Pride of the US Navy.

00:03:23 On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked US naval vessels moored at Pearl Harbor, without declaration of war. The majority of the US fleet stationed there was sunk or disabled. The main strike was delivered by Japanese planes, brought to Hawaii by aircraft carriers. The attack signaled the United States' entry into World War II. The assault on Pearl Harbor showed that powerful armored battleships ceased to be the main naval force.

00:04:08 US Navy needed a fleet of aircraft carriers to successfully operate in the Pacific Ocean. The lead ship of a new class USS Essex was laid down in April 1941.

00:04:24 USS Yorktown, CV-5, das bravely fought the Japanese and was sunk during the Battle of Midway, served as prototype of the new class. The second ship, initially named Bonhomme Richard, was then renamed USS Yorktown, to honor her predecessor.

00:04:43 When designing the Essex-Class, American engineers took shortcomings from earlier carriers into consideration. The New Yorktown was bigger, had increased anti-aircraft armament, a powerful air group, and a host of other new features. USS Yorktown was commissioned in 1943 at Newport News, Virginia, where she left for her sea trials in the Atlantic.

00:05:09 Und dann wurde sie nach dem Pacific Theater von Operationen von 1943 bis Ende der Krieg in 1945. Length, 266 m. Beam, 45 m. Height, almost 25 m. Total displacement, 36,200 t. Draft, about 8.4 m.

00:05:33 Anti-Aircraft Artillery, 12 x 127 mm Mark 12 Guns. 17 x Quadruple Bofors Mark II, 40 mm. 51 x Olicon Mark IV, 20 mm. Armour, belt, 64 to 102 mm. Pilot House Roof, 37 mm. Air Group, up to 100 aircraft.

00:06:05 F-6F Hellcat Destroyers SB-2C Helldiver Bombers TBF Avenger Torpedo Bombers Propulsion 8x Boilers from Babcock & Wilcox 4x Westinghouse-geared steam turbines 150,000 horsepower Maximum speed 32.7 knots 15,000 nautical miles at 15 knots

00:06:35 Yorktown is one of the heavy strike aircraft carriers of Essex-class, constructed by the US during World War II. The US Navy commissioned 17 ships of this class between 1942 and 1945.

00:06:55 In total, 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers were built. It was the first time in history vessels of that size were mass-produced. USS Essex, first of the new class, received the hull number CB9. USS Yorktown, built later, was assigned CB10. USS Yorktown was commissioned on 15 April 1943.

00:07:32 Captain Joseph Clark commanded the ship during her sea trials and first training airgroup flights. Yorktown lacked thick armor and powerful main guns, but an aircraft carrier does not need either. She stays away from the line of fire and uses her airgroup to attack the enemy.

00:08:02 Yorktown launched her aircraft from two catapults on the flight deck. One was located port and the other starboard. The catapults were operated from below decks. These big tanks here stored all the hydraulic fluid that was needed to propel the piston. This thing would be pulled tight and then the hydraulic fluid would be pumped into the cylinder which would push.

00:08:31 Compared to her predecessor, Yorktown was faster and could go 3000 miles farther.

00:09:05 Another important advantage of Yorktown was the independent work of her four engine boiler rooms. She was the first aircraft carrier to have this feature. Each machine had boiler and turbine rooms. In the event of loss of three machines, the ship could still function properly with one remaining engine boiler room.

00:09:30 This is the boiler right here. They used something called bunker oil. It was very, very thick like pudding. They'd have to heat it before it went in to the boiler. They could burn it then. And then that would heat up the steam, the water into steam, which will go into the next room to run the turbines.

00:10:03 Crew quarters on Yorktown were situated very close to workshops, which could cause serious problems in the event the ship was hit. Special attention was paid to the safety of the ship and her crew.

00:10:18 All of Yorktown's ordnance were stored on the lower decks of the carrier. In case of a fire, these compartments could be easily flooded to prevent explosions. A bomb would be brought up from the bunker down below. And it would be brought into here and the bomb would be assembled on a carrier. And they would put the fins on the back of the bomb. They would put that against the bomb itself. But they wouldn't put the fuse in. The fuse would be waiting for them already up.

00:10:47 All of the carrier's decks had their own damage control compartments, which gave access to venting and firefighting systems. Another important issue was the safety of the ship and her crew, in case the ship was struck by enemy bomb or torpedo.

00:11:27 Right here in 1944, a bomb actually went through here and then went down the side of the ship and exploded on the hull. A system of special escape shafts were designed to save the lives of the crew. If the ship was hit below the waterline, sailors could abandon the damaged or flooding compartment and climb up to the next level. Once all the crew members were safe, the hatches to the compartment were sealed shut.

00:12:03 Die Pilothaus hat direkt kontrolliert. Die Kontrollstation hat all die Informationen über den Schiff's Status, wie Heading und Speed. Yorktown hatte auch einige Backup-Controll-Rooms. Es sagt alles. Es läuft gleich wie in der Brücke. Die Revolutions, die Direktion, die Schaft-Speed. Es ist alles hier. Und die Schaft kann sich kontrolliert von hier.

00:12:50 In der Fall von 1943, die Aircraft-Carriere teilte in ihre erste Major-Operation, neben den Gilbert Islands, der Battle of Tarawa. Later, in der Beginn von 1944, die船 unterstützt die Invasion der Marshall Islands und attackierte die Japanese Air Force Bases auf Guam.

00:13:12 USS Yorktown and other Essex-class aircraft carriers became the US Navy's main weapon in the Pacific theater of operations during World War II. They participated in nearly every operation in the Pacific. These ships were considered so dangerous by the Japanese that they were frequently selected as targets by kamikaze pilots. Yorktown was lucky enough to avoid them.

00:13:34 But USS Banker Hill, for example, sustained heavy damage after a kamikaze attack. Despite the extensive damage, Banker Hill survived. The Essex-class vessels were incredibly durable ships. In fact, none of these ships were ever sunk by the Japanese.

00:13:51 On April 1, 1945, the assault on the Okinawa island began. Over the course of next six weeks, Yorktown's aircraft provided continuous air support to troops landing on the island. Every three days, the ship would leave the battlefield to refuel and resupply.

00:14:14 Diese Routine wurde nur einmal gebrochen, als Yorktown bekommen die Order zu repel den Attacken mit der famousen japanische Battleship Yamato, die Flagship der Kombinationen Imperial-Japanese-Navy.

00:14:28 By 1945, the Japanese Navy was on the brink of destruction. The High Command was forced to resort to extreme measures. Yamato was tasked with repelling the attacks of the US Aviation and defending the Ryukyu Island against invasion. It was effectively a suicide mission, as the ships did not have enough fuel to come back from Okinawa.

00:14:52 On April 7, Yorktown, zusammen mit den anderen Carrieren von Task Force 58, advanced zu intercepten die Japanese Schiff leden von der Steele Monster, Yamato. Nach zwei Waffen von Attacken der US-AIRCRAFT, Yamato seemed invincible.

00:15:17 Yorktown participated in the final two attacks on the Japanese battleship. On her first wave, Yorktown's aircraft managed to destroy most of Yamato's gun batteries and damage the engine room, and the battleship lost maneuvering control. After more than 20 direct torpedoes and bomb hits, Yamato began to list. As her list increased, she capsized, and her ammunition stores detonated. A monstrous blast tore the ship apart. A smoke pillar rose up to six kilometers. Even crew members on Yorktown

00:15:46 ein paar Tens von miles entfernt von der Krieg, konnten die Effekte der Explosion sehen. Die Destruction von Yamato hat die Verkauf der Japanische Nase gemacht. Japan hat nicht mehr große Battleships gehabt. Die Land der Rising Sun war powerlösen, um die US-Nase in der Pacifik zu stoppen.

00:16:31 After sinking Yamato, Yorktown's Air Group participated in bombing of the Cure Naval Base and military targets near Tokyo. Yorktown received 11 Battlestars for her service in the Pacific. She was decommissioned in the beginning of 1947 at Mossbald for five years. The ship then underwent several modernizations and was recommissioned in 1953.

00:17:13 Die newly modernized Yorktown assumed different roles, ranging from a movie set to a flagship during a large-scale US Navy deployment in the Pacific. In 1965, she participated in combat operations again, this time in South China Sea, during the Vietnam War. Towards the end of her military service, Yorktown served as the recovery ship for Apollo 8 space mission.

00:17:47 In 1970, Yorktown was decommissioned, and in 1975, she was formally opened as a museum in Charleston, South Carolina, where she remains to this day. The purpose of the Yorktown being here is to perpetuate the memories and sacrifices of those who served on these vessels and to make it more interactive.

00:18:12 als es in der Vergangenheit hat. Die jungen Leute sehen mehr der Geschichte und sie will es mehr genießen.

00:18:38 Ich sage, ich bin bereit zu werden. Ja, das ist nicht so großartig. Wir sind auf den Killingen. Und das ist das, was wir geholfen haben. Oh, we sind bereit zu kommen. Wir sind in einer wunderschönen Krieg. Das Aircraft Carrier ist eine Runde, auf zwei Nucleer Reaktoren und mehrere hundert Tonnen von Weapons.

00:19:08

00:19:08 Hey everybody, Clyde here, and I am so very excited to be celebrating 10 years of World of Warships together with all of you. I've been playing this game since 2015, and 3 years ago I was lucky enough to be invited to join the CC program, so Wargaming, thanks for that. It has been a very wild ride, and so much of the game has changed over the past 10 years, and so much of it is still very much the same.

00:19:32 We're celebrating the 10th anniversary of the game right now, which is one of my favorite events during the year. So if I see you out there on the high seas, make sure you say hi, take care of each other, be cool, and be nice.

00:19:45 The first year also shined a light on some of the most important names in American naval history. Naval legends featured battleship USS Alabama, heavy cruiser USS Salem, famous aircraft carrier USS Sussex, and the story of the Sullivan's five brothers, who served together and gave their lives in World War II.

00:20:09 Sie waren zu sein, die besten zu sein. Sie sahen, die Angelegenheiten zu sein. Sie sahen, die Tragedien, und sie lieben die Kriege. Sie sind die Spiele, die zu sein, die sich zu sein, die »Naval Legends«. In dieser Episode, die Aviation von Essex-Class Aircraft Carriers, Terror of the Pacific Ocean.

00:20:48 The outcome of battles in the Pacific Ocean during World War II didn't depend on the primary armament of mighty battleships anymore. Often, opposing ships didn't make a single artillery salvo and couldn't even see one another through binoculars. Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Tokyo, the clash of aircraft carriers in the Coral Sea, the main characters in these operations were the carrier aviation.

00:21:17 In den ersten Jahren der Krieg, die Japanische Armee erreicht hat viele große Vorteile und hat fast alle Süd-East-Asien, während die Imperial-Fleet war in der Pacific Ocean. Imagine, ein kleines Islander Land kontrolliert ein Territory 17x größer als sein und mit einer Population 5x größer.

00:21:37 However, it's one thing to conquer, it's another thing to retain it. In the summer of 1942, the Japanese suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Midway. It's after this victory that the Americans started active offensive actions. Japan manufactured 18 aircraft carriers over the course of the war, not counting those commissioned before the war. Meanwhile, the US economy could accommodate the construction of 150 aircraft carriers. Essex-class aircraft carriers became the main striking force of the US Navy and were pivotal in the war in the Pacific.

00:22:12 The airgroup of Essex-class ships consisted of four squadrons. Reconnaissance, Bomber, and Torpedo Bomber squadrons had 18 aircraft each. The fighter squadron was reinforced and had 36 aircraft instead of 18. It was a timely decision. These were the fighters who gradually started to win in the Pacific skies.

Entwicklung der Flugzeugtypen und Taktiken im Pazifikkrieg

00:22:41

00:22:41 In the early years of the war, the primary aircraft of the US carrier aviation were the Dauntless dive bombers and the Wildcat fighter planes. They showed good performance, but became obsolete by the beginning of 1943 and needed to be replaced. Modern Avenger torpedo bombers were the first to appear on the flight decks and in the hangars of Essex-class carriers.

00:23:53 Es war ein sehr effektiver Flugzeug und eine gute Demonstration eines der Vorteils die US-Navy hatte über unseren Adverschern, die Japaner, in der Zweckend Weltkrieg.

00:24:54 Avengers took their rightful place on aircraft carriers, while the obsolete Dauntless and Wildcat planes were replaced by the Helldiver dive bombers and the Hellcat fighter planes. Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter plane Maximum takeoff weight 15,410 pounds Engine power 2,250 brake horsepower Maximum speed 380 mph

00:25:21 6 x M2 machineguns, 0.5 inches, 2 x 500 pounds bombs, and 6 x 5 inch HVAR rockets.

00:25:36 The Hellcat was the most mass-produced fighter plane of the U.S. Naval Aviation during World War II. U.S. engineers installed a more powerful engine than the one found on the previous model, the Wildcat, thus improving the flight characteristics. The new fighter had greater maneuverability, speed, as well as fuel and ammunition capacity.

00:26:00 In den letzten zwei Jahren der Krieg, Hellcats verabschieden mehr als 5,000 Japanese aircraft, um zu zwei-thirds von allen Verteidigungen der US-Carriere Aviation in dogfights. Der F-6F hat eine der besten Ratio von Verteidigungen in den Pacific, 19 zu 1. Das bedeutet, dass für alle Hellcat verloren, 19 Japanese aircraft wurden verabschiedet.

00:26:33 The Helldiver was the most ambiguous plane of the Essex's Carrier Aviation. Curtiss SB2C Helldiver Scout Bomber Maximum takeoff weight 16,652 lbs Engine power 1,900 bhp Maximum speed 295 mph

00:26:56 Armament. 2x Mark II cannons, caliber 0.8 inches. Twin mount M19-19 machine gun in the upper turret, caliber 0.3 inch. Total bomb load up to 2,002 pounds, including 8x5 inch HVAR rockets.

00:27:17 Diese Flugzeuge war nicht einfach zu handeln. Die Lendengear-Legs von diesen Maschinen würde literally collapse, wenn sie die Flugzeuge befassen würden, während die Barriere-Barrieren verletzten.

00:27:29 When a Helldiver was going to land, all personnel were removed from the deck. The explanation is quite simple. This aircraft had quite poor flight characteristics, especially when landing on a moving deck. In addition, it would often lose its ammunition, which didn't add to its reliability. That's why, when the aircraft initially began service, the US sailors nicknamed it the Big-Tailed Beast.

00:27:57 However, Helldivers had some noteworthy advantages. They were fast for a bomber and were able to sustain serious damage. The shortcomings were fixed in the later versions, but the pilots kept their prejudice against Helldivers until the end of the war. The F4U Corsair Fighter Bomber was the last to appear on Essex-class aircraft carriers. Vought F4U Corsair Fighter Bomber

00:28:27 Maximum takeoff weight 14,670 lb Engine power 2,100 bhp Maximum speed 448 mph Armament 6xM2 machineguns Calibre 0.5 inches 2x500 lb Bombs and 8x5 inch HVAR rockets

00:28:54 The enemy nicknamed it Whistling Death. When the aircraft was diving, it produced a sound that scared Japanese soldiers to death. Thanks to excellent speed characteristics, Corsairs took the initiative in battle and became one of the best combat aircraft of World War II and the greatest threat to the Japanese army and fleet.

00:29:17 Der F4U Corsair hat eine wichtige Rolle in der Weltwahr II als eine Führerfahrt. Und die Gull-Wing-Design, die alle so kennenlernen, war notwendig, damit es auch auf die Anfahrt zu arbeiten und effektiv in der Luftwahrung. In fact, es wurde eine Körnerstunde von der Luftwahrung in der Weltwahrung in der Weltwahrung, und dann wieder in der Korean War. Das war die erste Ereignisse. Es wurde bald verwendet von anderen Luftwahrung in den 1950s. Aber wenn es um die Weltwahrung und die Korea-Korsair war,

00:29:47 was a main aircraft in the air to air combat.

00:30:02 Every flight operation had difficulties for US pilots of the carrier Aviation. On top of combat against strong adversaries, pilots had to show their skill during takeoff and landing. Aircraft could be sent on missions, in bad weather or at night. Nighttime was kind of a nightmare. It was of course dark, we only had red lights operating on the flight deck so that our eyes didn't dilate. And on this ship…

00:30:30 Es brauchte ein Bewegung des Flughafen, das relativ ungewöhnlich ist. Als unsere Operations-Date begann, sie nehmen die Hälfte des Flughafen, legen sie auf dem Flughafen auf der Rückseite, füllen sie alle mit Gasoline, Bombs, Rockets und Ammunition, und dann starten sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie. Als sie sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf, füllen sie mit Gasoline, Bombs, Rockets und Ammunition, starten sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf und füllen sie auf.

00:31:00 und meistens als die letzte auf dem Flugzeug war, die originalen Gruppen kamen zurück zu landen. Nach dem Flugzeug landen, es war notwendig, um die Fahrzeuge zu fahren und die Fahrzeuge zu fahren, auf die Fahrzeuge auf dem Flugzeug, in einer parallelen Position. Und dann, nachdem alle die Fahrzeuge von dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug kamen, dann alle die Fahrzeuge geflogen wurden durch die Fahrzeuge geflogen.

00:31:24 Und dann wurden sie wiedergefüßt, bekommen neue Bombs und Rockets und so weiter. Das ging um 12 Stunden pro Tag. Man kann sich vorstellen, wie ein Kürzester das auf dem Flugzeug war. Es war sehr, sehr gefährlich. Die Leute, die hier arbeiten waren sehr junge Menschen, und sie haben einen sehr gefährlichen Job gemacht. Und sie haben auch ein sehr guter Job gemacht.

00:32:13 Airgroups of Essex-Class carriers had their baptism of fire during the raid on Marcus Island on August 31, 1943. During that time, the US military strategy consisted in a systematic removal of the Japanese from the conquered territories. The Task Force's aircraft were destroying Japanese aviation at airfields, demolishing defensive fortifications on islands, and attacking the enemy fleet when it tried to interfere with the troops' landing.

00:32:42 In the summer of 1944, during two days of battle in the Philippine Sea, US pilots of aircraft carriers from Task Force 58 destroyed more than 90% of all Japanese carrier aviation. By the spring of 1945, the US fleet was reinforced with another five new Essex-class ships. The Japanese had nothing that could oppose them.

00:33:27 Die US-Carrier Aviation sank 5 Battleships, including both Super-Battleships, first Musashi and then Yamato. They also sank 11 Aircraft Carriers, 14 Cruisers and many other enemy ships. That's when the Japanese Command turned to their last resort, to change the situation in the sky over the Pacific Ocean. The Spirit Wind became the main enemy of the US Fleet.

Die Rolle der Kamikaze und das Ende des Pazifikkriegs

00:33:59

00:33:59 Kamikaze is translated from the Japanese as the Spirit Wind, meaning the wind that must crush the enemies of Japan. Battles in the Philippine Sea made it obvious that the training of Japanese pilots is much worse than that of their US counterparts. Apart from that, the United States were producing far more aircraft than Japan. Under these circumstances, the Japanese command decided to bring back the Spirit Wind tactics, which could help them prevail over the United States.

00:34:26 To this end, they recruited conscripts that could barely fly an aircraft. They had a single mission, take off in a plane stuffed with explosives and fly it into an enemy ship. However, not only inexperienced pilots participated in such attacks. Rear Admiral Arima aimed his plane with the US aircraft carrier Franklin. Essex-class heavy aircraft carriers remained their main targets.

00:34:49 Tamakazis could act individually, in pairs, or even in large squadrons. During the last year of the Pacific War, they succeeded in damaging eight Essex-class ships. However, it didn't have a significant influence on the balance of force. Not a single aircraft carrier was sunk. Even the seriously damaged USS Franklin CV-13 and USS Bunker Hill CV-17 were able to get to the Pearl Harbor base without assistance.

00:35:23 No spirit wind could save Japan from a defeat in World War II. In July and August of 1945, the US carrier aviation delivered mass airstrikes on the Japanese territory. The last ships of the once mighty Imperial Japanese Navy were destroyed at the Kurei Naval Base.

00:35:52 US Historians call Essex-class aircraft carriers Pacific Champions and Masters of the Pacific Ocean. Pilots of the US Carrier Aviation shot down more than 9,000 enemy aircraft in dogfights, and almost half of them are attributed to planes launched from Essex-class ships. The powerful US economy crushed and broke the aggressive samurai spirit by the end of the war, and the Essex-class ships airgroups made a very important contribution

00:36:21 Victory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.

00:37:01 Moin Leute, Krado von Team Krado hier. Zehn Jahre World of Warships. Genauso lange sind wir tatsächlich schon am Start seit der Klosbeta, um genau zu sein. Und das zehnte große Jubiläum feiern wir natürlich auch mit euch. Dank World of Warships sind wir überhaupt so groß geworden. Dank World of Warships sind wir Kontributoren geworden. Haben dadurch viel Zugriff gehabt auf Inhalte, die wir euch dann präsentieren durften und Co. Dadurch sind wir auf YouTube Twitch halt extrem gewachsen und stehen jetzt da, wo wir stehen.

00:37:28 Ich freue mich auf die nächsten zehn Jahre mit euch. Da werden wir wahrscheinlich auch super viel erleben, super viele Änderungen, so viele neue Schiffe, die da noch kommen werden, sodass es tatsächlich niemals langweilig wird. Mein persönliches Highlight der letzten zehn Jahre, seht ihr im Hintergrund, ist nach wie vor der Kufels. Mein erster Zehner, den ich erspielt habe, der bleibt einfach im Herzen bei mir. Er bleibt einfach da stehen, denn er war was ganz Besonderes. Damals noch im Forschungsbaum hatte ich erspielt und es war einfach ein tolles Gefühl.

00:37:55 Alles Gute, World of Warships, alles Gute, Wargaming, auf die nächsten 10 Jahre mit unseren Schiffchen.

00:38:18 Und 2015 war nicht nur ein Spiel, es war ein Tradition zu starten, um Naval History zu leben, mit den Battles aufscreen.

Naval Legends: Die Schlacht von Tsushima und ihre historischen Schiffe

00:39:00

00:39:00 In this episode, Living Heroes of Tsushima. In a Japanese town, Yokosuka, 62 miles away from Tokyo, battleship Mikasa is permanently anchored, and 4,000 miles away from her, cruiser Aurora is anchored in one of the keys of the Niva River in St. Petersburg. Although these ships belong to different types, and their stories are very different, there is a common moment in their biography.

00:39:41 Both ships participated in a major naval battle, the Battle of Tsushima, that was the culmination of the Russo-Japanese War in the beginning of the 20th century.

00:39:58 In 1895, Japan defeated China and occupied the Liadang Peninsula, where a warm-water seaport, Port Arthur, was located. The port was very important for the Russian Empire. Together with European states, Russia used military and political pressure to make Japan renounce that peninsula, and later signed a contract of lease for that territory with China for 25 years.

00:40:26 Using the opportunity of the Yihetuan Movement, also known as the Boxer Rebellion, Russia expanded into Manchuria and Korea. The Japanese were very worried by the expansion policy and decided to start preparations to reinforce their fleet. Within seven years, the Japanese fleet was reinforced by four new cruisers and four battleships.

00:40:54 Battleship Mikasa, built in British dockyards, became the most powerful new ship of the Land of the Rising Sun.

00:41:08 Kruiser Aurora was built in Russia during the same period. This was just a small part of a large-scale program aimed at enhancing the country's military potential at sea—the creation of the Major Pacific Fleet. But they failed to fully implement the program. On February 9, 1904, Japanese ships attacked Russian fleet near Port Arthur.

00:41:32 They also attacked cruiser Varyag and gunboat Karyets in the Korean port Chemulpo. The Russo-Japanese War began. From the first days, this war was unfortunate for Russia. Varyag and Karyets were sunk, and the Russian Pacific Squadron was blocked in Port Arthur by the Japanese fleet. After a little while, battleship Petropavlovsk

00:41:59 in April 1904, Russia started the formation of the 2nd Pacific Squadron.

00:42:33 For the first time in the history of the world's fleets, a menacing unit of over 30 warships of different classes' mage set off on a prolonged trip. From Libao, now Leopayer, to Port Arthur, round Africa and crossing the Indian Ocean. Overall, about 20,000 miles were covered. This is almost the length of the equator. The conditions were very severe, as we didn't have any naval bases.

00:43:03 And we didn't have allies to help us throughout the voyage. During this unprecedented crossing, the Russian seamen heard about the loss of the 1st Squadron and were reinforced with ships under the command of Rear Admiral Nyabagatov. With this lineup, the 2nd Pacific Squadron entered the Korea Strait. Its commander, Vice Admiral Razierstvensky, decided to take a shortcut to break through to Vladivostok.

00:43:33 Zinovich Petrovich Rozesvinsky was born in 1848. He had experience commanding a number of Russian ships. He knew naval diplomacy perfectly well. He was the right person in the right place. To understand his role, you need to know a lot.

00:44:03 ...and experience the bridge of a headquarter ship in that moment.

00:44:22 The morning of May 14, 1905 was gloomy. The Russian fleet didn't even try to hide. Raji Estvensky simply declared war. He even gave up on reconnaissance because he was sure the Japanese warships would meet them in the Korea Strait. Soon, ships from the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy appeared from the damp haze. They pursued a parallel course and were commanded by Vice Admiral Togo Hayashiro.

00:44:51 who appointed battleship Mikasa to be the headquarters ship.

00:45:02 Togohira Shiro was born into a samurai family of Kagoshima. When he was 18 years old, he participated in the Anglo-Satsuma War as one of the samurai. Then, after the establishment of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, he enrolled there to study the theory of naval science.

00:45:29 Selected from the lower Samurai class, Togo quickly progressed in life and managed to attain a high rank whilst fighting several battles. He knew the real nature of war from his experience. When Admiral Togo was assigned to the Commander of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, Emperor Meiji asked the Naval Minister, Is Togo good enough for this position?

00:45:58 Der Minister antwortete, ja, denn er hat ein sehr guter Persönlichkeit und ist ein sehr glückliches Typ. Der Emperor war glücklich mit dem Kommentar.

00:46:13 Overall composition of the participants' forces before the Battle of Tsushima. The 2nd Pacific Squadron of the Russian Empire. 8 battleships, 3 coastal battleships, 3 armoured cruisers, 2 large protected cruisers, 3 small protected cruisers, 1 cruiser 2nd class, 1 auxiliary cruiser, 9 destroyers, 7 support vessels.

00:46:41 Japanes Combined Fleet 4 Battleships 1st Class 8 Armored Cruisers 2 Large Protected Cruisers 10 Small Protected Cruisers 1 Battleship 2nd Class 3 Cruisers 2nd Class 3 Torpedo Cruisers 21 Destroyers 43 Torpedo Boats

00:47:13 Gradually, the Japanese fleet started approaching the Russian squadron. Admiral Togo took a risk straight away, preparing to envelop the head of the adversary's ship column with a circular maneuver. At the same time, Russian battleships opened preliminary fire. The Battle of Tsushima began at 1349.

00:47:36 People say that Togo employed the tactic of crossing the T in the Battle of Tsushima, taking position ahead of and perpendicular to the adversary's ships. But the actual maneuvers of the ships were like this. Togo's real tactics was more of a rotating attack, which was similar to the classical Kuruma Gakari formation of Uesugi Kenshin in the medieval Japan.

00:48:08 At the very beginning of the battle, a signal flag appeared on battleship Mikasa. The fate of the Empire rests on the outcome of this battle. Let each man do his utmost. Moving fast, Mikasa concentrated her fire on battleship Kunia Suvorov at the beginning of the battle. In return, several Russian ships fired at Mikasa immediately.

00:48:32 Russian salvos waren considerably precise at first. Within the first 15 minutes, Togo's battleship was hit by 19 large and medium caliber shells, including five 12-inch rounds. But the Japanese fire was more precise, and the damage from the adversaries' attacks was less significant.

00:48:55 During the battle, luck was on Togo's side. Most shells of the enemy fleet hit Mikasa amongst the Japanese ships during what became known as the Battle of Tsushima. Admiral Togo, standing on the bridge near the compass of the headquarter ship, survived.

00:49:14 Meanwhile, Brzezvinsky was observing the battle from the Koning Tower of his ship. A shell flew into his compartment and exploded, badly wounding the Vice Admiral's head.

00:49:31 The battle continued for over 40 minutes more, before the Russian squadron commander received a second wound. During this time, one Russian battleship sank, and two other battleships were seriously damaged. A third ship took the lead of the squadron, trying to break through to Vladivostok.

Verlauf und Ausgang der Schlacht von Tsushima

00:49:51

00:49:51 Admiral Togo maneuvered to change the engaged side. His Division I turned en masse, taking a course away from their adversary, and thereupon turned around to open fire on the Russian ships from the left side. As a result of this maneuver, the firepower of the Japanese ships became as powerful as it was at the beginning of the battle. At the same time, battleship Boredino, heading the Russian ship's column, passed the Japanese squadron on an opposite course and approached the Russian cruisers to protect the transport.

00:50:21 Aurora was part of the cruiser division headed by Rear Admiral Lengfist, who received an order to cover the squadron transport ships. Together with cruiser Oleg, they joined the battle 40 minutes after it started. When the transport ships were attacked by eight Japanese cruisers and the old battleship Shen Yuen, our ships were caught in densely aimed fire from the adversary. Hits followed one after another.

00:50:48 The explosion from an 8-inch to a high-explosive shell shook the whole cruiser. Two guns were taken out of operation, one in the battery room and the other on the upper deck. But despite all the damage, Aurora skillfully maneuvered at almost maximum speed, battled with, and managed to break through the enemy's line. They had high morale. They were prepared for battle, for victory.

00:51:17 and naturally willing to sacrifice themselves. Japanese shells exploded nearby, and Aurora was pierced by shell fragments. During the battle nine people were killed. One of them was an officer, a ship commander, and dozens of people were left injured.

00:51:34 Nach drei Stunden lang, die Richtung der Russischen Squadron war stark verletzt. Schmerz, Vice-Admiral Rogier Strzynski placed die Squadron unter die Kommandung von Rear-Admiral Nikolai Ivanovich Nebogatov. Die Japanese Battle Division I, vor dem Mikasa, war in der Nähe des Parallel-Kurse, und war wieder auf die Richtung der Russischen Kolum. Die letzte Battle des Jahres war extrem dramatisch. Die Russische Battleships wurden in den 20 Minuten verletzt.

00:52:06 During their rotating maneuver, the Japanese ships fired all their shells, using broadside guns and guns at the front and rear. On the other hand, the Baltic fleet hardly managed to fire their front guns. The circle attack of the Japanese fleet was so effective, the opponent had no chance to escape. The sun set, the battle was over. The remaining squadron ships continued to move towards Vladivostok.

00:52:33 Aurora, als Teil der Kruiser-Division, sailed zu der leften der Squadron's main body, along eine Parallel-Kurse, in total darkness, mit der Licht geöffnet. Aber Admiral Togo war es nicht, die restlichen Russen zu lassen.

00:52:48 If the Baltic Fleet had reached the area around the Sugaru Strait, almost half of the fleet might have been able to escape into Vladivostok. In this situation, the rest of the fleet would have conducted raiding, causing the annihilation of the Japanese army in Manchuria. That's why the Baltic Fleet had to be completely destroyed.

00:53:14 For this reason, night attacks from the torpedo boats started after the daytime battles. Using these tactics and the power of the Mikasa, Japan managed to defeat Russia. On the following day, with the remaining ships shot down, all hulls breached and surrounded by the enemy's fleet, Rear Admiral Nebogatov surrendered to Vice Admiral Togo.

00:53:40 Only four cruisers and three torpedo boats managed to escape the Tsushima trap. Aurora was one of them. Countering torpedo boat attacks, escaping 17 enemy torpedoes, the cruiser avoided being captured and sunk.

00:54:02 Losses für die Forces, nach der Battle of Tsushima, der 2nd Pacific Squadron des Russischen Empire. 19 Ships sank in der battle. 2 Ships waren blown up by ihre eigene Crew. 5 Ships und 2 Hospital Ships wurden von der Adverschung.

00:54:21 Captured, 3 cruisers, 1 destroyer, 2 auxiliary vessels, broke through to Vladivostok, 1 cruiser, 2nd class, Aviso, 2 destroyers. Out of 14,334 Russian seamen and officers, 5,015 were dead, 803 were injured, and 6,106 were captured.

00:54:47 Japanese combined fleet. Three torpedo boats sank. 699 men were killed and injured. After the Battle of Tsushima, the Russian fleet practically ceased to exist in the Pacific, and soon a treaty of peace was signed that was obviously unfavorable for the Russian Empire. Since that time, 110 years have passed, and there are only two ships left that participated in that dramatic battle, a Japanese and a Russian one.

00:55:23 Heute, Mikasa und Aurora sind nicht nur Monuments. Sie sind eine Geschichte der Welt, die du kannst, in der wahrsten Sinne des Wortes.

00:55:57 Hola comandantes, soy JM Capitan. Os hablo desde España, Europa. Siento no hablar inglés, pero pongo subtítulos, aunque en los vídeos que subo a YouTube se puede elegir la pista de audio.

Die Einführung neuer Schiffe und Halloween-Events in World of Warships

00:56:52

00:56:52 2016 brought a wave of very memorable ships into World of Warships. We saw the arrival of British light cruisers with the Minotaur line. Soviet cruisers entered the battlefield and destroyer captains explored the German Z-52 line. But the year truly made its mark with the introduction of the German battleship line, including ships that for many remained some of the most fun to play until this day.

00:58:59 A floating fortress with impenetrable armor and powerful anti-aircraft armament. Please welcome battleship Grosser Kurfürst. Despite the fact that this steel giant was never built in reality, in World of Warships, we have a chance to test her combat capability. Heavily armored and armed to the teeth, Grosser Kurfürst makes a strong impression with both her gorgeous exterior and tremendous firepower.

00:59:29 Go forth and destroy. That's the motto of this mighty German warrior. Pushkin wrote, where it unsubdued and towering stands. We can sing odes to German battleships all day long, but we'll try to keep it factual. Let's see what wonders were hidden in the blueprints.

01:00:04 Großer Kurfürst hat sehr gut Armour, up to 380 mm. Her Citadel ist hart zu penetrieren, Auxiliary Armament ist sehr durmählich, und Turrets sind sehr gefährlich. Each der vier Primary Armament Turrets hat drei 406 mm Guns, das können sie auf 420 mm.

01:00:30 Es ist um dich zu wählen, aber wenn du würdest du würdest, den größten Kalibr ist dein Weapon der Wahl. Die Höhe von Feuer ist mehr als 20 Kilometer, die nur auf der Tier X ist nur auf der Tier X. Großer Kurfürst hat zwei Primary Armament Turrets auf den BOW und zwei auf der Aft. Das bedeutet, dass du nicht nur ein Anstieg, aber, in der Falle von einem Forst Retreat, du kannst den Anstieg aus dem Anstieg von Feuer aus der Aft.

01:01:02 More than 15 tons of metal in a broadside and a decent turret rotation speed make your adversaries tremble with fear when your barrels turn in their direction. You can see for yourself. So, what about the shortcomings of our German knight? They are similar to other battleships. She's sluggish and very detectable, which makes her an easy target for destroyers.

01:01:39 Hence, Target Acquisition System is an obligatory modification. As for other upgrades, the recommended set is pretty standard. Main Armaments Modification 1 in the first slot, AA Guns Modification 2 and AA Guns Modification 3 in the second and third slots accordingly, and the Damage Control System upgraded. The secondary armament of this staunch Giant has excellent damage and accuracy. No one can escape it.

01:02:12 And what are those Meteors falling all around you? It's the enemy aviation. The German has one of the most powerful AA defenses among Tier X battleships. What to reinforce with Commander skills is up to you. It depends on your playstyle.

01:02:28 Wir stärker bedenken, gegen die Rutschung vorwärts auf dieses Battleship, ohne die properen Rekonaissance und Cover. Aber nicht zu weit entfernt von der Rutschung. Arbeit mit den Kruisern und unterstützen sie mit Feuer. Dieses Battleship ist die größte Ebene zwischen 12 und 16 Kilometern.

01:02:54 The dream of German engineers made a reality. The 12 420 mm guns will convince anyone who has played on this ship at least once. The secondary armament with an effective range of more than 10 km, an excellent AA defense and enormous survivability. All this steel fortress needs is a reliable captain.

01:03:18 A captain able to tame this armored monster bristling with guns, and make good use of all this power. This battleship was created to force her way through. She's like an avalanche that can't be stopped. You still feel like you're missing something? Maybe it's another Großer Kerferst. Call your friends and join the battle together.

01:03:55 In 2016, we also started something completely new, celebrating the spooky season with our very first Halloween event. It was fun, strange, and it quickly caught on. In the years that followed, it grew into a tradition. Once a year, forces invade our peaceful realm and stop them on Helsinger. Victor F. Einstein, AI. It's time for the ultimate.

01:04:46 and awesome clash of good and evil. Choose your vessel and defeat the terrifying Rasputin. Get ready for a monstrous battle.

01:05:16 Mensch, die ganze CC-Kisten wieder ausliefern an die Community. Was ist hier los? Ach, hier war ja auch noch was. Hier wollte ich ja noch kurz was sagen. Also, guten Moin zusammen. Ich bin Pasch oder auch Panzerknacker, je nachdem, wo man mich findet. Ich bin mittlerweile seit zehn Jahren auch in dem Spiel. Zehn oder neun Jahre. Ich weiß nicht genau, wann wir richtig angefangen haben. Closed Beta, Closed Alpha, Open Alpha Closed.

01:05:46 Bin seit 2018 glaube ich CC auch schon dabei. Und ja, habe Wargaming viel zu verdanken. Möchte an der Stelle Danke und alles Gute sagen für die nächsten zehn Jahre. Haut da rein, macht das gut. Tschüss.

01:06:02 Beyond the game, naval legends celebrated historic vessels whose stories shaped naval history. Japanese Mikasa, American aircraft carrier Hornet and Soviet Aurora were among those remembered for their roles in defining eras of conflict and innovation. At the heart of this collection was the Cleveland-class cruiser, represented by USS Little Rock, a symbol of US naval strength during World War II and beyond.

01:06:30 They were designed to be the best. They met enemies face to face, endured tragedies and enjoyed victories. They went down in history due to the bravery of their crews. They are the ships that deserve to be called Naval Legends. In this episode, the Unsinkable Cleveland's.

Naval Legends: Die USS Little Rock und die Cleveland-Klasse

01:07:06

01:07:06 One of the sites in Buffalo, New York State is USS Little Rock, stationed at the local Naval Museum. It is the last remaining Cleveland-class light cruiser. Built in great numbers, these ships posted good survivability and were considered the heaviest light cruisers in the history of the US Navy.

01:07:27 In den 17th, 18th und 1st halft der 19th century, a cruiser war nicht ein Schiff-Type. Es war nur ein Light-Ship. Es könnte ein Friggat, ein Brig, ein Brigantin. Der Mission war es zu disruptieren. Was ist eine Navale-Battle? Somebody wins, and somebody loses. Dann sollte man den Vorteil machen, das bedeutet, disruptieren die Kommunikation. Und diese Linien sind all über den Ön, als enemy Schiff sind krisst-crossing hier und da.

01:07:52 So your cruiser should be crisscrossing here and there, too. She would go to the north, go to the south, go to the west, go to the east. This is where the word cruise comes from. She makes crossings, chasing enemy ships. However, if there are ships to disrupt supply routes, then you need ships to perform counter-operations. This led to the emergence of different cruiser types. Protected, light, first rank, second rank. All kinds of cruisers.

01:08:36 Wie Sie sehen, hinter uns ist die USS Little Rock. Sie ist ein Light Cruiser. Die Grund, warum sie es ein Light Cruiser nennt, ist weil sie von der Tonnage. Sie hat 12,000 Tonnen, und sie hat auch kleinere Zettbewerbe. Sie hat 6-Inch-Gunst, wie ein Heavy Cruiser, hat 8-Inch-Gunst. Sie ist die letzte Cleveland-Klasse Cruiser, die heute in existence ist.

01:09:05 Der erste船, der Name für die ganze Reihe, wurde in den Sommer 1940 gelegt. Die Ausflanzung war viel höher als die Standard für Lightcruisers in der Zeit. Für diesen Grund, die Cleveland-Klasse-Ships sind manchmal called Heavy Lightcruisers.

01:09:20 The Americans realized that their key opponents were across seas and oceans. Consequently, to disrupt enemy communications, you had to cross either the Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean. So they needed a big ship with a large displacement, high self-sustainability, and powerful armament.

01:09:42 Key Specifications of the Cleveland-Class Cruisers Total displacement up to 14,300 tons Length 610 feet 3 inches Beam 65 feet 7 inches Draft 24 feet 7 inches Armament Primary Armament 12 Mark 16 guns in four turrets, caliber 6 inch Dual-Purpose Artillery 12 Mark 12 guns, caliber 5 inch

01:10:09 Anti-Aircraft Artillery. Different ships of the series were equipped with up to 28 Bofors and up to 20 Orlikon autocannons. Armour. Armour belt and conning tower, up to 5 inches. Deck, 2 inches. Turrets, up to 6.5 inches. Airgroup, 4 floatplanes.

01:10:38 Maximum speed, 32.5 knots. Cruising range, 11,000 nautical miles. Building the Cleveland-class cruisers was a challenge for US industry. 30 ships were ordered before the United States joined World War II. And after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the dockyards received orders for 20 more cruisers. The cruiser was used to protect the battleship.

01:11:12 Dann, natürlich, nach Pearl Harbor, sie wussten, dass sie nicht was wir brauchten. Wir brauchten, um nach vorne zu gehen. Und deshalb wurde der Künstler der Künstler der Künstler. Es ist wie ein Stein in ein Pond oder ein Pool von Wasser. Und man sieht die Rippeln, als sie rausgehen. Der Künstler wäre der Künstler, der nächste Künstler wäre der Künstler. Der nächste Künstler wäre der Künstler. Der nächste Künstler wäre der Künstler. Der nächste Künstler wäre der Künstler.

Bewaffnung und Konstruktion der Cleveland-Klasse

01:11:46

01:11:46 Since the Cleveland-class cruisers were constructed during World War II, the US Navy wanted to have them armed as heavily as possible. This guideline was set by President Roosevelt himself. Besides the primary armament, which consisted of powerful 6-inch guns, the Clevelands also featured formidable anti-aircraft artillery. Twelve 5-inch dual-purpose guns and up to 50 buffers and Orlikan barrels could surround the ship with a wall of steel, and not a single enemy aircraft was able to breach it.

01:12:33 When Cleveland was being designed, there were debates about whether it was reasonable to install guns of such close calibres, 6 and 5 inches. Some people were saying the cruiser should have only 6 inches. Why do we need the 5 inches? Others insisted on having only 5-inch guns. On paper, 5 and 6 inches look virtually the same. But the point is that a 6-inch shell weighs twice as much as a 5-inch one. So it has a much greater impact on enemy ships.

01:13:02 A much greater destructive force. The President's instructions were fulfilled with the utmost diligence. Virtually the whole deck was dotted with gun barrels.

01:13:22 But the designers got so enthusiastic that the cruiser turned out to be over-equipped with armament. As a result, one of the key drawbacks of the Cleveland class is that it cannot be upgraded. You had to either disarm the ship completely or leave her the way she is. For example, when missile systems were installed on these ships after World War II, part of their guns, specifically the primary armament, were simply removed.

01:13:44 Currently in her configuration now, she only has one triple 6-inch turret and one 5-inch gun. All the rest were removed. But she did keep her 6-inch gun and she actually has the only 6-inch gun left in the world.

01:14:00 However, Cleveland's abovewater hull became heavier, and this affected her stability, an important parameter for ocean vessels. The ship's angle of list was limited to 23 degrees, which was a minor drawback for the project. It was compensated by the other seagoing qualities of the ship.

01:14:18 Despite a lack of stability, the cruisers demonstrated superb survivability during the war. The key factor here was not the ship's design, but the excellent work of their damage control parties. The cruiser receives damage, even when it's critical, and in just a few seconds everyone is running, taking measures, doing their job. And after some time, a ship that was going to sink in 15 minutes is back on an even keel. Her engines are running, and she is seining again.

01:14:48 Sometimes even continuing to fight. A good example is cruiser Houston, which was severely damaged by an airdrop torpedo in October 1944. All her engine rooms were out of order. The ship took on 6,000 tons of water, almost half of her displacement, but remained sailing. Her team had saved her.

01:15:13 The most interesting thing is that the first torpedo damaged the hull, and the whole engine room was filled with water. When the ship was being transported to the Hawaiian Islands, she got hit by another torpedo. As a result, having a displacement of 13,500 tons, Houston took in so much water that her displacement became almost 21,000 tons. In other words, she was completely filled with water. But she made it to the port.

01:15:55 The Cleveland-Class was the most numerous series of light cruisers in US history. A total of 27 ships were built. Every three or four months, new cruisers were commissioned and sent straight to the war. By 1943, the Americans seized the initiative in the Pacific Theater. The Japanese assumed the strategic defense. By that time, they had captured almost all islands in the Western Pacific, up to the coast of Australia.

01:16:39 The United States launched an offensive on multiple islands with Japanese garrisons on them, ready to defend to the last breath. But the Americans were not going to capture them all. They applied the so-called island hopping strategy, capturing only the islands that were of strategic value for further offensives. The US did not seek to destroy all Japanese garrisons on the islands. It was more important to secure the right bridgehead, no matter whether an enemy force was there or not.

01:17:12 The Battle of Bougainville went down in history as the first US offensive operation against Japan.

01:17:26 The Bougainville campaign was part of this offensive, part of the island-hopping strategy. It was actually a bit grotesque, because US forces were deployed on Bougainville in a place where there were no enemies. The Japanese were stationed on this island, but in a different part of it. So the Americans were deployed there, but didn't try to capture the whole island, only the part they needed. But the Japanese, from their standpoint,

01:17:52 Das war eine unthinkable impudenz. Deploying neben unserer Base, wo wir plenty of troops, plenty of ships, plenty of aircraft. Right hier, in der Stone's Throw. Und was werden sie tun? Okay, sie haben ihre Forces hier verwendet. Sie werden wahrscheinlich versuchen, den ganzen Irland zu versuchen. Aber sie werden nicht versuchen, den ganzen Irland zu versuchen. Wie kann das sein?

01:18:15 Bougainville was immensely important for the United States, as Japan's major air force and naval base, Rabol, was just 400 km northwest of it. Powerful forces on Rabol were preparing to advance to the south and southeast. By that time, Tokyo was controlling almost the whole of Southeast Asia, half of China, and hundreds of islands in the Pacific Ocean, from Sakhalin and the Kurilts in the north to the Solomon Islands in the south.

01:18:44 The Japanese suddenly saw that the Americans were at their door, next to their most powerful naval base. Something had to be done. Everything they had at hand, all cruisers and destroyers stationed at Rabao at that moment, were sent to Bougainville.

01:19:04 In the evening of November 1, 1943, an imposing Japanese squadron left for Bougainville. It consisted of heavy cruisers Miyoko and Haguro, light cruisers Ageno and Sendai, six destroyers and five transport ships, carrying a thousand troops. The Japanese force was to land on the island and defeat the US Marines, who had just been deployed to the coast of the Empress Augusta Bay.

01:19:37 As soon as the Japanese ships left Rabaul to counter the US landing, the Americans were aware of this. They took all their landing assets away from the coast, where the Japanese ships were expected to attack them. Instead, the Americans put forward their escort ships, four Cleveland-class light cruisers and six destroyers. The whole thing happened at night.

01:20:02 Es war die Nacht, die Krieg in der Niederlande kam, eine klassische Krieg in der World War II. Late in den kleinen Zeitungen, ein Köln von Cleveland war über die Köln von Bougainville.

01:20:17 The US cruisers were in front of the Empress Augusta Bay, when at 2.30, their radars detected a Japanese squadron, comprising six destroyers and four cruisers. The US force, led by Admiral Merrill, deployed into combat formation, and its destroyers attacked the enemy. At 2.46, the US destroyers made their first torpedo salver, but the Japanese ships changed their course, and the torpedoes launched by the Fletchers missed the targets. However...

01:20:44 Die Maneuver veröffentlicht die Japanische Formation und hat ihn in disarray. Das ist, als die Clevelands öffnen, auf die Kruiser Sendai. Die Primary Armament Schell severely verletzten die Japanische Schiff. In diesem Turmall, Heavy Kruiser Miyoko ran into eine Freundin Destroyer, zuerst ein Teil ihrer Bound. Having fired von ihren Kruisern, die Japanische Kruisern sich verletzten zu den Clevelands, die sofort auf die Kruisern zurückkehren.

01:21:25 The Japanese heavy cruisers suffered a defeat and retreated under the cover of darkness. The Clevelands came out of this night battle as decidedly victorious. But the Japanese did not give up. In the morning they sent their ground-based aircraft to attack the Clevelands. And here Cleveland-class cruisers demonstrated that they not only had excellent artillery to defeat similar surface ships, but also boasted superb anti-aircraft armament.

01:22:03 They virtually engulfed the sky with fire, and the Japanese aircraft weren't able to do anything, not even break through to the ships. Having repelled the Japanese aircraft, the US forces approached Rabaul and delivered an airstrike. Basically, the Americans fulfilled their mission. At the same time, the Japanese garrison on Bougainville proved to be as firm a samurai.

01:22:31 They stood till the end, till August 1945. They started breeding cows and growing vegetables there, because no more supplies were coming from their home country. They were surrounded. The Philippines had been liberated from Japan and so forth, but the Japanese garrison stood. It stood till the end.

01:22:55 The Bougainville campaign wouldn't have been considered daring, but reckless and silly if the Clevelands hadn't won that battle. In fact, these ships led America to victory in this war. Capturing part of Bougainville was a key step on the way to neutralizing Japan's major base Rabao.

01:23:21 Und neutralisieren Rabaul war ein wichtiges Schritt für andere Länder, für Japan selbst, für die Krieg in der Krieg. Die Cleveland-Klasse Light Cruisers durchführt die Pazifik-Ware mit FLYING COLORS. Einige von ihnen waren sehr verletzten in der Krieg, aber keine waren verletzten. Battert und verletzten, Cleveland-Successfully repelte Air Raids, sank Japanese Ships und schelte enemy positions auf viele Länder.

01:24:02 Apart from the 27 cruisers, the hulls of the Cleveland-class ships were used to build nine light aircraft carriers of the Independence-class, which had a significant impact on the outcome of World War II. In the post-war period, some Clevelands were equipped with cruise missiles and stayed in service in the US Navy in a new capacity.

01:24:26 Wenn Sie über die Geschichte der Cleveland-Klass Cruises erzählen, es scheint, dass sie nicht etwas Besonderes gemacht wurden. Es gibt einige Worte, es gibt einige Worte, es gibt einige Worte, es gibt keine Worte. Aber die reale Worte ist über hartes Arbeit, hartes Arbeit. Und die Clevelands waren diejenigen, die es auf sich genommen haben. Es ist die beste Light Cruiser-Projekt der USA. Sie waren überall. Look at die mehr oder weniger Worte der Worte.

01:24:52 Die Clevelands waren da. Sie waren die realen Workhorsen der US-Navy. USS Little Rock ist die letzte Schrift ihrer Klasse. Sie war als Missile Cruiser bis zum Sommer 1977, als sie decommissioniert wurde. Heute, die former Squadron Flagship ist ein Museum in Buffalo. Und ihre menacingen Appearance embodies die Pride und Glorie von allen Clevelands.

01:25:40 The series also turned its focus to ships that mark turning points in naval design. IOVA reflected the peak of American battleship development, demonstrating both power and adaptability in service. Closing this chapter were the Daring Class Destroyers, with their design having carried the Royal Navy into the post-war era. They represented not just the culmination of destroyer development up to that point, but also the bridge to a new generation of naval warfare.

01:26:10 They were designed to be the best. They met enemies face to face, endured tragedies and enjoyed victories. They went down in history due to the bravery of their crews. They are the ships that deserve to be called Naval Legends. In this episode, Australia's daring destroyers.

Australiens Daring-Klasse Zerstörer: Eine Ära des Wandels

01:27:08

01:27:08 The first colonists of Australia had to fight all the time. They faced heat, lack of water, flies, snakes and even ostriches. And today the Australians still cannot live without fighting. Every day they fight boredom, trying to conquer the waves. They created ACDC, whose rock swept the world like a hurricane.

01:27:30 Nothing disturbed the country. No wars, no aggressors. The Germans, French and Russians were nowhere around, so they basically focused on making their lives better. The first time the Australians really felt a threat to their way of life was when World War II began. It was the so-called Japanese Blitzkrieg, when, within half a year, or maybe a year, Japan advanced from their home islands to the coast of Australia.

01:27:59 In February 1942, Japanese aircraft attacked the city of Darwin in Australia. Japan was expanding its empire mainly by occupying territories in Southeast Asia. Though Australia was not part of their plan, military bases of the United States and the Allies stationed on the Green Continent were undermining Japan's intentions to dominate the Pacific, and the Royal Australian Navy was actively involved in the Pacific War until the very end of World War II.

01:28:28 Following the end of the Second World War, moving into the Cold War, Australia still realised that it needed to have a defensive asset in its Navy, so it moved to bringing in a new generation of vessels of which the Daring-class destroyers remember. The Daring-class was essentially designed as the Royal Navy Super Destroyer. Australia decided to build three Daring's, being Vampire, Vendetta and Voyager.

01:29:37 The British designed the Daring class, relying on their experience of using destroyers in World War II and the progress in arms development. The Australian-built destroyers were somewhat different from their British counterparts. In terms of their specifications, the Daring's were similar to light cruisers. Total displacement about 3,800 tons. Length about 390 feet. Theme about 43 feet. Draft.

01:30:06 13 feet. Armament. When commissioned, the Dairings were equipped with versatile guns featuring the best rate of fire in the world. Six 4.45-inch Mark V guns mounted in three dual turrets. As for small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, the ships had six 1.57-inch Bofors autocannons. Torpedo Armament. One 5-tube 21-inch torpedo launcher.

01:30:35 Anti-submarine armament, one 3-barrel 12-inch Mark X anti-submarine mortar. The power plant consisted of two Foster Wheeler boilers and two English electric turbines, and provided 54,000 horsepower. Maximum speed, over 30 knots. Cruising range, 3,700 nautical miles at 20 knots.

01:31:04 The Australian-built Dairings were the first all welded construction vessels warships built in Australia. The ship incorporated all the best design features developed during World War II. Speed, maneuverability, artillery guns, a fire control system, radars, everything was there. All these systems were researched and implemented in the Dairings. In a way, this was a perfect ship, with just one exception. She was built after the first missiles were already produced.

01:31:41 In the early 1970s, the Dairings were fitted with surface-to-air missiles. Despite this, they remained mainly artillery ships, and they were the last ones of their kind. The destroyer's main turrets were their pride. 4.45-inch versatile guns could fire 24 rounds per minute and showed themselves to be advantageous during World War II. The Dairings were equipped with the QF Mark V version of these guns, which was a post-war upgrade.

01:32:09 Die Turrets hatten eine bestimmte Forme, und die den Destroyern sehr leicht zu erkennen waren.

01:32:18 This is the gun bay for Gun Turret A on the Darien-class destroyers. This is where the shells and the cartridges were assembled before being sent up to the guns. This is an incredibly challenging and very dangerous place to work on the ship. It was confined and as you can imagine you've got high explosives being sent into this room so there was the danger of explosion or fire. And if that weren't difficult enough...

01:32:44 Das Bay wurde eigentlich rotatiert, als die Böse überrottet. Manchmal würde die Rotation nicht ohne Warnung und keine Beobachtung von wo es ging. Man könnte sich in der Mitte der Beobachtung einstellen, und dann würde sich die ganze Böse bewegen. Und dann würde man sich mit dem Böse bewegen.

01:33:24 World War II created the communist threat for Western civilization, the Western way of thinking, and communism was already nearby. The United States created the domino theory in this regard. What does this mean? It means if Vietnam falls into communism, then Laos falls, Thailand falls, Indonesia falls, and Australia falls, too. And the people in Australia believe this. After World War II, the Soviet Union rapidly built up its influence.

01:33:53 which spread from Western Europe and China to the Caribbean Sea, and some exotic monarchies in the Indonesian archipelago. Military coups and revolutions were shattering tropical islands in the Pacific, and the Australians, who led their quiet life, felt quite concerned about this. Now they needed protection, not from their bombs and kamikazes, but from vigorous revolutionaries who could destroy their Australian serenity.

01:34:20 The ships essentially served around Southeast Asia under the Southeast Asian Treaty Organisation and often spent a lot of time in Singapore. Essentially the only vessel which saw service out of the class was the Vendetta which did a short period of time in Vietnam.

01:34:51 An Australian contingent von über 50,000 Menschen in Vietnam participated in combat operations. And Australia got involved in this war, several years before the United States interfered in the conflict. At first, 30 Australian military advisors were sent to South Vietnam. But a couple of years later, a several thousand strong military force was deployed there. They required supplies, which were brought by transport convoys from Australia. Derings were among the ships protecting them.

01:35:22 Despite the fact that Australia was officially at war, it was hardly felt aboard escort ships. Of course, the service wasn't anything like a pleasure trip. However, one of the major concerns for the destroyer crews was to win the Gloucester Cup, the main award for naval exercises.

01:35:53 Ich denke, dass es ein sehr glückliches Schiff war. Und ich denke, das war, weil es viele Traineer aufbord war. Und die Atmosphäre da war, was, ja, alles zu gehen. Ja, keine Angst, keine Angst, keine Angst. Geh in da und dein best.

01:36:21 Wir stehen in HMAS Vampire Operations Center. Es ist direkt unter dem Wheelhaus. Der Nächte für dieses room ist die Bat Cave. Das ist weil HMAS Vampire's Nächte war, was die Bat. Es war ein bisschen wie eine cave. Und während das Vampire operativ war, Batman, und insbesondere der TV-Show, war ein sehr populares Ding. So es gab den Nächte based auf diese Information.

01:36:48 Die Darings waren eine topschule. Sie waren eine sehr freundliche Schuhe, besonders Vendetta. Alle in der Crew mussten zusammengekommen. Es gab es gar nicht hier vor uns. Aber, eine glückliche Existenz kann sich durchdekend werden. Das ist ein Fakt von Leben. Und die Australien-Australien-Sailoren haben nicht geschafft. Unfortunately, die Australien-Navy verletzten die Voyager in 1964.

Tragödie und Vermächtnis der Daring-Klasse

01:37:29

01:37:29 mit einer großen Verlust. Auf 10 Februar 1964, HMAS Voyager, einer der Daring-Klass-Destroyer, wurde von den Flugzeugen HMAS-Melbergen, während manövren auf Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australien. Die船 wurde erst nach der Brücke gebrochen, und es wurde in der Hälfte gebrochen.

01:38:13 Ich glaube nicht, dass der Voyager's crew war poorly organisiert. Ich glaube nicht, dass der Melbourn's crew war poorly organisiert. Es war ein accident, etwas überleuchtet wurde, und die Sequenz der Errung leden zu dieses Collision.

01:38:30 Sitting there, being on a vendetta, they sat there and were always tiled, you know. There was escape point one, escape point two, go down this way, we get sliced in half or, and you start going down, go up, you know, sit there, nowhere will we escape like that. And that's how we done it.

01:39:00 One of those to die aboard the ship was Chief Petty Officer Jonathan Rogers, who was too big to fit to the escape hatch, but helped other crewmen get through the escape hatch before he led those who were still stuck in the ship in hymns and prayers as the ship sank.

01:39:27 This tragedy left a deep wound in the hearts of Australian sailors, but soon their life returned to normal. Exercises, regattas, and patrol duties. Many veterans remember their years of service aboard the Australian Dairings as the best and most carefree time in their life. Though the destroyers went on serious combat missions a couple of times, in other respects, the most dangerous challenges that the Dairings crews faced were visits to local bars.

01:39:54 and the consequences were comical rather than sad. Friendly and well-knit crews of the Daring-class destroyers were very highly trained and were rewarded by the command of the Royal Australian Navy on multiple occasions. It's not easy to serve in the Navy, but they were young, they were happy. They accomplished some tasks. Yes, he swabs the tank, but then he will go ashore. He will be a sailor. He will be in the spotlight.

01:40:28 As a junior recruit, like leaving school in the morning, joining the Navy in the afternoon and then sent to Lewin, all in the same day. The Royal Australian Navy to me was life changing. Sit there and set me on my career, and I've never looked back. It was the best 12 years of my life I ever spent. I'd actually wish I'd done it to 20, or even longer.

01:40:48 The crew on Vendetta at the time, it was all one crew. It didn't matter whether you were a Stoker, a Greenie, a Cook, a Dibdab, you know, even some of the officers and chiefs. They'd all drink together. You know, we'd all go in a bar and read, oh yeah, blah, blah, blah. You know, which hardly ever happened on another ship. It was just such a good camaraderie on the ship. That's why we, you know, life is great on 08.

01:41:21 In the 1980s, when new wave music began conquering the world, the Australian destroyers from the rock'n'roll era became history. Voyager and 83 members of her crew rested at the bottom of the sea. Vendetta was scrapped. She was scrapped. She was sitting there and sitting to Taiwan and basically ended up as a razor blade. You know, all the steel.

01:41:48 Obwohl sie sich da und sagen, es war ein Rief, aber sie waren nicht zinkern, für Rief. Es war immer noch Geld.

01:42:00 Luck was kind to Vampire alone. She was decommissioned in 1986, but remained intact. This museum ship, located in Sydney's Darling Harbour, has the right to be considered a memorial to all Australian dairies. She is the last of them. And all the parts that went off Vendetta were now on Vampire, which in the museum you can just look at.

01:42:26 Ich würde sagen, dass ein gut 40% von Vendetta ist, wenn ich auf Vampire bin. Ich bin sehr glücklich, dass sie HMAS-Vampire von der Scrapheap hat, weil sie eine Erre von der Nabe ist, die ich sehr froh. Die privationen von Steamschips und die großartige Spirit von der Crews.

01:43:16 Hi, I'm Stargate SG68, and I'm one of the contributors to the French community. I discovered the game shortly after it came out of beta. I quickly became hooked on the gameplay of the FTS aircraft carrier, especially the Akuryu. Actually, I continue to play them. It's been almost five years since I became a CC. Thank you for that, Wargaming, and thank you, Tanatoi.

01:43:46 In any case, you can count on me, I often pester on your CM about the arrival of the French aircraft carrier in the game. I hope you continue to enjoy the game and happy birthday World of Warships. See you soon in the game. 2017 was a huge year. The fleets kept growing and the gameplay got even more exciting, especially for destroyer captains. The Pan-Asian tech tree branched out with the Yu Yang line.

01:44:14 While the Grozovo line was added to Soviet tech tree. On top of that we saw the debut of the French cruisers and British battleships, crowned by Henry IV and Conqueror respectively. 2017 also gave us the very first operations, opening up a whole new way to play together. Your breakfast sir. What is that? British battleships sir. Your dinner sir. British battleships in World of Warships.

01:45:56 Hi guys, my name is Private Penguin, or Short Pingu, and I'm a German CC for World of Warships since 2017. Because I'm a German CC, I will switch back to German. Also nochmal Hallöchen an alle da draußen, ihr dürft mich gerne Pingu nennen. Und ich bin tatsächlich schon seit 2015 in World of Warships mit dabei, seit der Alpha.

01:46:17 Und deswegen habe ich auch die Ivaki Alpha, um einen kurzen Virenflex auszuhauen. Aber meine Güte, wie die Zeit rennt, das ist gruselig. Und es ist aber auch irgendwo toll zu sehen, dass ich zehn Jahre lang dieses Spiel spiele und nach wie vor mit Leidenschaft spiele. Und ich habe diesem Spiel so viel zu verdanken und Wargaming an der Stelle mal kurz gesagt, weil ich bin Vollzeit-Content-Creator und dieses Jahr habe ich mein zehnjähriges Jubiläum. Und ohne World of Warships wäre ich wohl nicht das, was ich heute bin. Also ganz, ganz dickes Dankeschön dafür.

01:46:46 Ich hoffe, ihr habt eine tolle Zeit. Ich wünsche euch alles Gute zum 10-Jährigen und auf weitere mindestens 10 Jahre.

Naval Legends: Die Arktis-Konvois

01:46:54

01:46:54 We are especially proud of the Naval Legends episodes on the Arctic Convoys. They may hold some of the last interviews with true heroes of World War II. These were men who sailed through impossible conditions and won. The Convoys were Allied supply missions to the Soviet Union, carried out across the dangerous waters of the Arctic Ocean. Their stories remain a powerful reminder of courage and sacrifice.

01:47:25 Die Arktik ist ein sehr lustiges Termin, weil manchmal das Wetter war ein torrent. Es war eine sehr frühe See. Und in anderen Zeiten war es so leicht wie ein Duckbond.

01:47:40 Wir senden viele Ammunzeln, Fähne, Tanks, Flugzeugen zu Russland. Russland hat eine sehr große Rolle gemacht. Sie hat wahrscheinlich mehr Menschen als die resten der Allies. Es ist unglaublich, was Sie getan haben.

01:48:05 We weren't thinking about anything like death or anything else. All we were thinking about was how to destroy as many aircraft, berths and boats as we could. We weren't thinking of anything. We were all pleased to help. We were on the same side.

01:49:10 On June 22, 1941, when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the ominous problem arose immediately. Of course, the Soviet Union was preparing for the war, but not the kind that Hitler had planned. From the start, we were suffering terrible losses. And, as it always happens in such situations, we needed this, this, this.

01:49:36 In March 1941, the United States passed the Lend-Lease Act. It was officially entitled An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States, which rather plainly made clear the US's position on the ongoing events in Europe. The US felt that it was in its best interest to assist those countries which were fighting the Axis powers. The initial recipient of the aid was going to be the United Kingdom, although later on the Soviet Union did join the program.

01:50:02 Cargo ships would be carrying the equipment, material, ammunition and even food which was required to wage the war.

01:50:16 To deliver the supplies to the front line as quickly as possible, the Allies decided to use a naval route to the ports of Murmansk and Arhangelsk, through the Greenland and Barents Seas. The convoys were formed in Iceland, in the Kalvizor, or Reykjavik, as well as in northern Scotland, at the Loch Ew base. Depending on the ice conditions, the route lay either to the north or south of Bear Island, in a very narrow corridor between Svalbard,

01:50:45 und die Noregien-Koast. Die finalen destination points für die Konvoys waren die Portss of Murmansk, Alhangesk und Morletavsk. A cruise like this lasted for 10-14 days.

01:51:02 Aber wir wussten auch, dass die Fahne auf der Germanen Seite, was die Equipment, die die Männer und die Frauen, die Amerikaner und die Briten, die wir, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft, in der Luft. Das war eine gute Kombination, weil es funktioniert.

01:51:31 A single cargo ship was able to carry about 10,000 tons of cargo, which was equal to 260 medium tanks, or 425 trucks. This many combat vehicles could be used to equip five armored brigades in the Red Army. Convoys that were sent to the USSR at various times could include from 10 to 30 cargo ships. Every convoy and every ship was very important to the Soviet Union during the war.

01:52:04 The USSR Northern Fleet could not provide adequate protection for the convoys. There were only eight destroyers among its surface ships, so Great Britain, which had much more powerful forces, committed to protect those convoys from German attacks.

01:52:24 Hitler's Germany, their German leadership, didn't even assume that Britain would be helping the Soviet Union. They strongly believed that Churchill hated the Soviet Union, and so they didn't believe this assistance could happen. But they forgot Churchill's saying, Great Britain has no constant friends or enemies, but rather constant interests. That's why the Germans didn't prepare forces to counter these convoys. So the first convoys, figuratively speaking, those of 1941, managed to slip through mainly because the Germans were unprepared for the Allies to act like this.

01:52:53 Das waren die peacefulen Konvois. Wir mussten kämpfen nicht nur mit den Deutschen, sondern auch mit den Elementen. Denn die Barents Sea ist ein schwerer.

01:53:28 The constant rolling. It's an immensely bitter sea. It beats you all the time. When I came aboard the Destroyer, of course, it was tough. But I tried hard, since there was work to do. And, of course, I never told anyone how difficult I found it.

01:54:05 These are Arctic waters. Even in summer, it's only 4 degrees Celsius. You won't hold on for more than 5 minutes. Hence, you must fight for your vassal. And they fought.

Gefahren und Verluste der Arktis-Konvois

01:54:17

01:54:17 Along the entire route, the convoy faced extreme risks. Storms and fog were frequent in Arctic waters. Ice was all around you. Huge lumps of ice would grow on the vessel's superstructures, and the ship could capsize if you didn't remove them in time. And don't forget about the German submarines, which could be anywhere, and enemy aviation. All this made the Arctic convoys extremely treacherous.

01:54:52 You know, true sailors fear any storm, any blizzard. Only fools aren't afraid of a storm. Sailors have always feared it. But on the Arctic convoys, all sailors, even the atheists from the Soviet Union, were praying to God. Lord, send us a storm, send us in fog. That's because neither enemy aircraft nor submarines could operate in a fog or storm.

01:55:20 In der Spring 1942, die Situation begann zu ändern, und nicht in favor of die Allies. Pretty much alle Torpedo-bomber die Luftwaffe hatte warst, mehr und mehr Sub-Marsen wurden auch zu intercepten Allied-Shipping. Und endlich, Daylight-Hours, die ziemlich favorablen zu Air- und Sub-Marsen sind, waren auch noch länger.

01:55:45 Es war ein Perpetual Daylight und wir waren durch die Arktik, wo die Schnee kommt. Es ist eine sehr narrowe Strip, die man muss durch, wo es Norden und Norwegen, und dann der Great Ice-Floh, und man muss sich durch das durchgehen. Die Deutschen wussten das, und ihre Samarien mussten lieben, so als sie kam durch, sie torpedieren.

01:56:19 This particular vessel is Red Oak Victory. She's moored in Richmond, California. The purpose of the US Navy in World War II was basically to get stuff from A to B, and glamorous though the combat ships were, this was usually done by the non-glamorous cargo vessels. They are the testimonial to the courage of not only the naval personnel, but also the civilians of the merchant marine who braved the weather and the enemy.

01:56:58 It's a basic steamship, built very good. And the service speed was 15 knots on this ship. Although in good weather, they got 16 knots according to the logbooks that I've been reading. However, in harsh Arctic conditions, the heavily loaded cargo ships couldn't sail faster than 10 knots. So the convoy passed by the Germans at the speed of the slowest vessel, about 12 miles per hour.

01:57:29 The convoy's movement order was a formation with merchant vessels and tankers in the middle. They were surrounded by close escort ships. As a rule, these were destroyers, corvettes, minesweepers, and armed trawlers. A bit farther away, at a distance of several miles, they were accompanied by light cruisers. The convoy kept its distant covering forces, which consisted of heavy ships within 50 miles of its core.

01:57:56 In late June, the weather in the Arctic was good. German intelligence discovered that the Allies were about to send a large convoy to the Soviet Union. This was PQ-17.

01:58:31 The first week went by without any incidents, and the sailors hoped it would stay that way until the destination port. At dawn on July 4, convoy PQ-17 was spotted by a German reconnaissance aircraft. After midday, the airstrikes began. Bombers and torpedo aircraft approached from a right angle, but all their attempts to destroy the convoy were fiercely repelled.

01:58:53 During one of such raids, destroyer Wainwright rushed towards the attacking aircraft at full speed, firing from all guns. The ship's counterattack was pretty successful. The lead airplane was shot down, and the rest dropped their torpedoes too early and scattered. Nevertheless, German Aviation managed to sink two merchant ships. But despite the losses, the convoy maintained formation and continued on.

01:59:21 Not about to let this lucky opportunity go to waste, the German command came up with a plan for an all-arms attack on this convoy. It would involve aircraft, submarines and surface vessels. To include the battleship Tirpitz, which was now going to come into play. Tirpitz was Germany's most modern and powerful warship. Her mere presence in Norway forced the British to keep their main naval forces in that region. The battleship was used in military campaigns only at the direct order of high command.

01:59:58 So this was to be a classic, demonstrative defeat of an Allied convoy. From the Germans' point of view, the conditions were perfect. Perpetual daylight, excellent weather, no storms, no fog, and a large convoy with poor protection. So you could attack it with every asset. But the British realized this, too.

02:00:25 The British Admiralty concluded this was a great opportunity to do away with Tirpitz and the threat that she posed.

02:00:59 Wir wussten nicht,

02:01:22 We didn't know it was the PQ-17. We were stationed in Vajenga, and we received an order to sail towards Tirpitz, who had allegedly gone to sea and was sinking transport vessels one by one. So we were to head for Tirpitz and fight her.

02:01:55 ...to head for Tirpitz in Fighter. And every half hour the commander was reporting, Tirpitz is that many miles away. And then, one wonderful day, he reported this. And then suddenly we were informed that Tirpitz had changed course.

02:02:24 und war zurück zurück zu seinen Bergen.

02:02:29 Für die German battleship, weiter participation in die Mission made no sense. Es war zu prodigal, zu senden a battleship, zu schießen und sinken Merchant Ships, ein bei einem. Beside this, die German commandnete, realized, dass British warships, die Konvoi, zu focussen, so viele forces, wie möglich, auf finden und destroying Tirpitz. Die battleship hat bereits been spotted, by Allied reconnaissance aircraft, und die threat, zu der ship, war real, weil große forces der British fleet, waren nearby.

02:02:58 Unprotected and scattered, Convoy PQ-17 was to be finished off by German aviation and submarines.

02:03:08 Man kann sich vorstellen, wie die Säler und die Allied-Vessels begannen zu fühlen, als sie sich verstanden haben, dass sie sich selbst verletzten und nicht mehr auf jemanden für die Unterstützung verletzten. Worse, diese sind meistens schlauchte, unarmte Steamler, mit predominantly civilianen Crews. Jetzt sicherlich, die Säler wussten, als sie aufgenommen haben, dass es nicht ein Picknick sein wird, aber weder sie nicht erwartet, dass sie die Hellen zu folgen. Aber ich denke, dass alle, die auf den Russland-Konvois in den Russland fühlten, dass sie die richtige Sache gemacht haben.

02:03:43 The destruction of PQ-17 began on 5 July 1942. The Germans were methodically searching the sea for the scattered ships and sinking them one by one.

02:04:44 It is July 1942. The Soviet troops are suffering disastrous defeats. Heavy losses near Kharkov. The Germans are capturing the Crimea. Sevastopol is about to fall. Every tank, every gallon, every drop of oil, every aircraft mattered to us. And when they gave this order to scatter the convoy, for us, I don't know what to call this. It's something that makes your heart ache.

02:05:07 A tragedy for all Soviet people. Because of this lost convoy, thousands and thousands of Soviet people lost their lives.

02:05:19 Together with the convoy's vessels, 430 tanks sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea. To put this into perspective, in July 1942, the Soviet Army had about 400 tanks on the entire Stalingrad front. 210 aircraft lost together with PQ-17 accounted for one-third of the Red Army's air force that operated in July 1942 near Stalingrad.

02:05:46 The Soviet Army didn't receive 3,350 cars, almost 1,000 more than the Stalingrad Front had at its disposal. We were ordered to search for the transport vessels and escort them to Arkhangelsk, Molotovsk, and Murmansk.

02:06:12 From July 9th through July 11th, five merchantmen and several escort ships from PQ-17 arrived in Arkhangelsk. Nobody wanted to believe that only one-seventh of the vessels survived. Everyone still had hope. Those who went on search missions hoped to find the survivors. The people floating in boats and on rafts, frozen and exhausted, hoped they would be found. And they were found, almost all of them.

02:06:41 Over the following two weeks, another six vessels arrived at Arhangelsk, both towed and on their own power. When convoy PQ-17 left port, it included 35 merchant ships. Only 11 of them reached Soviet shores. We saved a lot of people, about 40 people.

02:07:06 die nach dem Vögel von PQ-17 verletzten. All die sagen war, es war ziemlich schwer, es war ziemlich kold, und wir überlebt haben. Aber sie haben nie gesagt viel über das.

02:07:41 Und dann findest du, dass der Admiral, der in der Kommandung des Allem ist, nur die Merchandt-Ships zu scatter, sagt, dass es sich selbst wenn du kannst.

02:07:59 Für uns ist es hart zu verstehen, die Behaviour of the British. Und wir nie verstehen es von einem humanen Punkt. Aber von der Erfahrung von Fighting-Convoys, die British alles ganz logisch gemacht haben. Von der 17th-Century, die Taktik war die folgende. Wenn an enemy fliegt, muss man sich auf den Städten befinden. Als die enemy fliegt, wird es getrennt werden, oder wird es getrennt werden.

02:08:28 und mit minimaler Losses. Das ist die Logik der Konvoi-Duty. Das war genau das, was die Gedanken der British-Aktions vor dem PQ-17 zu tun. Eine Priorität hat sich zu sehen, war vulnerable und die British-Aktions waren, um sie zu zerstören.

02:08:45 The tragic events of Convoy PQ-17 demonstrated to the Allies that the enemy was smart, strong, and ruthless. Fighting them was difficult, so they should continue the war until the very end. Though the Admiralty's actions were subject to sharp criticism from Moscow, both Great Britain and the Soviet Union realized that they needed to join forces to defeat the enemy, and a lack of trust would only make the Allies weaker.

02:09:14 In early September 1942, Convoy PQ-18 set off. And this time before sending it, the Allies did some pretty thorough planning. They changed the convoy route, they changed port of departure, they upgraded the escort, they provided an aircraft carrier, HMS Avenger. Nevertheless, the convoy was still subjected to fierce attacks and lost 12 merchantmen. And worse, the White Sea Throat, the most dangerous part of the voyage, was still ahead.

02:09:46 In September 1942, the future of the entire northern supply route was decided by convoy PQ-18.

02:10:39 Konvoys from Britain to the Soviet Union were labeled PQ. The return convoys had a reverse index, QP. On September 13th, when convoy PQ-18 had traveled the majority of the way, convoy QP-14 left Arhangelsk. It included some of the surviving vessels from PQ-17.

Konvoi-Operationen und Marinelegenden im Zweiten Weltkrieg

02:11:03

02:11:03 Now, they had been kept there for some time, pending information to find out what their future held in store, but finally had the opportunity to return home. Ordinarily, the return trip was much safer. The Germans preferred to concentrate their attacks on heavily loaded merchantmen going the other way, delivering supplies to the Soviet Union. However, on this occasion, the Germans decided that they were going to attack anything that they found.

02:11:30 Sie haben noch nie mit den Merchantschips geholfen. Sie waren für alle Kruisers. Von ihrem Meinung nach, sie waren die richtige Sache. Die Allied-Konvois waren simultanément gegen Fierce-Enemy-Attacks in zwei Arktischen Regionen. Konvoi PQ-18, escorted von Sovjet-Destroyern, war der Weg durch die White Sea-Throats, zu Arhangels.

02:11:59 Our commander, Anton Iosivovich Gurin, fired the main battery. Since they were flying to us at a low altitude, we could fire at them effectively. The aircraft was swept away five inches. I don't want to lie, we shot down two or three aircraft in this battle.

02:13:13 Twenty-seven Schiff von Convoy PQ-18 reached Soviet ports. The equipment they brought was immensely important for the troops. Very soon, it was saving the lives of Soviet soldiers and contributing to the overall victory. But there are no entirely happy stories at war. Convoy QP-14, which was carrying people back home, was attacked. The Somali was torpedoed and Captain Onslow, our captain,

02:13:42 Wir haben den Somalien zurückgezogen, zurück in den USA. Und wir haben die Töing-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs-Rochs

02:14:10 Und dann haben wir ein ferociouser Sturm und es war so schlecht, ich kann es nicht beschreiben. Es war eine der worsten Stürmer ich habe, mit mountainen Wäden, 60 feet hoch und die großen Wäden. Und es war 60-mile-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an

02:14:38 Und die Toe-Rope parten. Und die poor Somali, sie hat sich zurückgezogen. Sie hat sich torpedoniert. Sie hat sich zurückgezogen. Und in unseren Suchfragen, wir konnten die Bows sehen, und die Sternen, wie ein V, aus dem Meer. Wir haben so hart versucht, um so viele von der Crew als wir konnten. Und es war eine unglaubliche Erfahrung.

02:15:11 On 22 September 1942, Convoy QP-14 machte Port. Beside dem einen britischen Destroyer, haben sie auch den amerikanischen Merchantmann Silver Sword verloren. Sie können nur vorstellen, dass die Personnel abholt werden, die auch verloren haben, wenn sie nur ein paar Tage langsamerhanden wurden.

02:15:44 The outstanding valor and bravery of the sailors aboard PQ-18 and QP-14, as well as their success in delivering the cargo, showed that the Northern Route was still necessary and, if correctly planned, very feasible.

02:16:07 Throughout the rest of World War II, tragedies like that of PQ-17 were never repeated. The Allies gained military dominance in the north, and all following attacks on the convoys ended in great losses for the Germans. Allied vessels reached Soviet ports safe and sound.

02:16:27 I went along to a couple of the sessions they had, giving the Ashcock Medal to the Arctic Convoy veterans. And they felt so proud.

02:16:53 Of course, the share of supplies sent for Arctic convoys during the whole war is quite small. But their role was considerable, because they were carried out in the right place and on time. This has been a key strategic idea since Napoleon times.

02:17:16 Sie waren alle gegen ein gemeinsames Enem, und sie mussten sich alle helfen, um zu gewinnen. Die Sowjetunion machte große Kontributions für die Final Victory. Und als die Convoys waren, es war nicht nur das Equipment, sondern auch das Wissen, dass sie nicht alleine kämpften. Wenn wir das nicht hätten, hätten wir das nicht gewonnen. Ich liebe mich, was hätte passieren können.

02:18:32 That year, Naval Legends explored the history of naval weaponry, including the Orlikon Special Autocannon and Bofors Gun, an innovation that completely reshaped anti-aircraft defense and gave fleets a new way to protect themselves in the 20th century. We also celebrated the legacy of Royal Navy Aviation, showing how Britain extended its naval power into the skies and forever changed the face of naval warfare.

02:19:04 This is the Supermarine Walrus, a British seaplane designed in the 1930s. By this time, aviation was largely used at sea, and Great Britain continued an active search for possibilities of further application of aircraft aboard warships. Cruisers and battleships needed to look far over the horizon.

02:19:32 Reconnaissance ist, wo es alles beginnt. Vorher, das beste man konnte, war die Riga der alten船, nach der Mast, nach der Krowsnest und versuchen, nach dem Horizont zu schauen. In 1908, 1909, die Navy verwendeten die Kiste und Ballons zu versuchen, die Höhe der Krowsnest und der Mast weiterzuentwickeln. Mit der Erhöhung des Flughauses, haben sie die Möglichkeit, nicht nur nach der Höhe und nach dem Horizont zu schauen, sondern auch nach der船.

02:20:01 and rove around and explore several miles away from the ship, and then bring back all of that information, all of that reconnaissance information, and use it for best tactical advantage. Even before World War I, the British Navy experimented with ground-based aircraft in order to accommodate them for use as ship-borne aviation. Aircraft would take off from a basic take-off platform installed atop the bow-gun turret or forecastle.

02:20:36 They managed to take off, but until a certain time, no one was able to land an aircraft on a moving ship.

02:20:44 Squadron Commander Edwin Dunning erreicht das in August 1917, mit einem Experiment, um zu sehen, ob er nach HMS Furious konnte, während Furious war in der Nähe. Um das zu tun, musste er nach der Porte, über die Superstruktur, über die Funnel, über die Mastung, und in der letzten Zeit...

02:21:08 Manövren diese Flugzeuge sehr gefährlich in front der Islanden-Tower und sie auf den sehr kurzen Deck, auf der front der船. Das war die erste Zeit, dass eine Flugzeuge auf einem船 auf dem Meer landet wurde und es hat einen enormen Schritt nach vorne gemacht in der Möglichkeit, die die Flugzeuge der Flugzeuge werden.

Entwicklung der Marinefliegerei im frühen 20. Jahrhundert

02:21:34

02:21:34 However, a maneuver like this was an exception. Only the best pilots were able to land their aircraft on a cruiser or battleship. For this reason, in the first 20 years of the 20th century, the role of naval aviation was fulfilled by seaplanes equipped with floats, allowing them to land on water. They were launched from specially equipped vessels.

02:21:59 The Seaplane lighter was another key part of carrier development. The Seaplane lighter was a large steel hollow hull barge that was originally designed to tow flying boats many, many miles further than their flying range and of course extend their flying distance. They could be towed behind a destroyer or a fast launch and deliver that flying boat anywhere that the Navy needed to operate it.

02:22:26 The golden age of seaplanes happened between the two world wars. In general, aircraft completed missions related to reconnaissance or anti-submarine warfare. But soon it became obvious that they are ideally suited for search and rescue operations as well. Those tasks define the development of seaplanes. What is reconnaissance? It's when the aircraft should have a great range. There were no radios on board at that time. The engine became more powerful, floats were enlarged, and the overall quality as well.

02:22:58 Es ist wenigstens, aber in den 1920s in Europa und Nordamerika, sie organisiert sehr effizient und well-advertisend competitions zwischen den Planen. Sie competeden für Speed, Takeoff, etc. Und in der Hauptsport aircraft, da war es ein Planen. In zwei Jahre, den Planen von einem Fragile-Flying-Apparatus zu einem Reliabel-Machin, able zu withstanden Significant-Accelerations.

02:23:27 The aircraft behind me first came into service in 1935. It was built initially to fulfil a requirement from the Australians who wanted 12 aircraft to operate from various ships that they had. But it was designed by a chap called R.J. Mitchell who worked for Supermarine. And R.J. Mitchell, as many of you will know, was the gentleman who designed the Spitfire.

02:23:51 Supermarine Walrus Specifications

02:24:21 Length 11.5 m Wingspan 14 m Maximum takeoff weight 3,651 kg Bristol Pegasus VI 680 hp Maximum speed 217 kmh at a height of 1,450 m Armament 2 3x7.7 mm Vickers or Lewis machine gun

02:24:48 272 kg von Bombs. Crew, 3 Menschen. Es war die Piloten, die in der Piloten sitzen. Die Observer, die Navy's term für Navigator. Und der Telegrafist Air Gunner, die meistens die Junior-Member der Crew war. Und es war seine Aufgabe, aus dem Flugzeug, nach wo ich bin, und dann auf, über die Engine Cowling.

02:25:12 und auf den Topf des Wings. So, wie Sie sich vorstellen, er war auf dem Topf hier, mit dem Cranehook kommt nach ihm, in einem sehr schweren See, wartet, um ihn aufzunehmen, mit dem Propeller nach ihm geht. Das ist ein sehr gefährliches Job.

02:25:32 Each return from a mission posed some risk to a seaplane crew. When an aircraft was on the approach, its parent ship would perform a maneuver in the form of a letter S. It was necessary to create a patch of relatively calm water for landing. Having landed, a seaplane would approach the ship's side, but kept the engine running, because the ship was moving, and the pilot had to control the aircraft's position until the lifting crane's hook was lowered to them.

02:26:00 Ich bin glücklich zu sagen, dass mein Vater, der eigentlich ein Telegfest-Aergunner warrösen warrösen von H&M Malaya in der Pacific, während der Second World War II, war tatsächlich einer der Leute, die hier zu clamberen und den Flugzeugen hooked wurde.

02:26:15 One of the names that this aircraft used to be called as a nickname was actually the steam pigeon. And the reason for that is that a lot of spray coming off the front of the aircraft would hit the heated cylinders of the engine here and give off clouds of steam. The walrus had a characteristic trait. This flying boat was equipped with a retractable three-wheel undercarriage. This feature enabled the aircraft to be landed both on land and water.

02:26:42 Es war sehr gefährlich zu landen mit der Unterkarrange über die Wasser, weil, als sie herausgefunden hat, als es zuerst versucht, inadvertentemente, die Flugzeuge schlussendet sich umgekehrt. Aber, fortunately, als die Flugzeuge so stark gebaut wurde, hat es eigentlich überlebt. Shipworn Aviation weiterentwickelt, und die Tatsache, die es umgekehrt wurde, wurde nicht nur zu sehen, aber auch zu erleben, einen starken und starken Angriff auf sie.

02:27:33 Ferry Aviation haben die Flugzeugen für die Admiralty und für die Royal Navy seit dem Ende des Weltwahr I. Ferry entwickelt ihre eigene Flugzeugen als ein selbst-finanziertes Projekt, der TSR-1, in den 1930s. Das entwickelt sich in die TSR-2, die die Admiralty sah und liebte und adoptierte und dann wurde es bekannt als die Swordfish.

02:28:07 Ferry Swordfish Specifications 11 m Wingspan 14 m Maximum takeoff weight 4,036 kg Bristol Pegasus 3M 690 hp Maximum speed 222 km per hour So the Swordfish could be slowed right down to almost a walking pace to perform quite safe and careful landings.

02:28:36 The Swordfish could carry a variety of weapons to deliver. Of course, the torpedo, which is what it was designed to carry, an anti-shipping 18-inch torpedo, but it could also carry…

02:29:03 Mines, depth charges, small bombs, and underwing rockets. But the torpedo was its mainstay. There was also a single forward-firing gun operated by the pilot. The TAG operated only a single Lewis K machine gun, so the Swordfish was very lightly armoured for its own protection. Crew, three people.

02:29:32 Es ist sehr exposed zu den Elementen. Es ist sehr frisch, sehr frisch. Die Piloten und die Crew mussten sich in ihren Scheepskinn-Koatsen und Träumen sein, aber die Crews lieben es. Es war noch ein sehr manöverbarer Flugzeug. Es war noch sehr vergleichbarer. Es war die Flugzeugzeug, die sie vermieden würden, fast immer wieder zu Hause bringen. Und das war wichtig.

02:29:53 By the beginning of World War II, the Swordfish was considered obsolete, but nevertheless, it was used on almost all front lines. The aircraft began its service with anti-submarine patrols near the Norwegian coast, participated in convoy escorting in the Atlantic Ocean, and defended Malta. It played an important role during the hunt for the famous German battleship Bismarck, and made a crucial contribution to the defeat of the Italian Navy at Toronto Harbor.

Der Einsatz von Swordfish-Flugzeugen im Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Entwicklung modernerer Flugzeuge

02:30:20

02:30:20 On November 12, 1940, 20 Swordfish planes took off from an aircraft carrier 170 miles southeast of the Italian naval base at Taranto. The aircraft attacked in two waves, 12 and 8 machines. The enemy was on the alert, and the anti-aircraft fire was quite dense. The Swordfish split into flights of three planes each and, having evaded barrage balloons, descended.

02:30:47 Almost touching the waves, the swordfish was forgiving enough that it allowed them to keep stable and level at a very low height above the water, launch there for torpedoes, and then break away and maneuver out of harm's way, all below the enemy gunfire. Thanks to moonlight and flares, Italian battleships were clearly visible and received six torpedo hits. As a result, three battleships sank at their mooring.

02:31:14 At the same time, the British lost only one plane in each wave. The lessons of that night operation were well learned by Japanese admirals, who used them during the attack on Pearl Harbor. As well as the sterling work in tracking down and sinking the Bismarck, and of course the Italian harbor raid at Taranto, the swordfish, during the middle part of World War II in the Mediterranean, did an enormous amount of work to sink.

02:31:43 German and Italian shipping. Swordfish squadrons across a period of one month dealt with more than 30 enemy ships in one month period. And over a nine month period averaged destroying 55,000 tons of shipping per month.

02:32:04 für eine 9-jährige Zeit. Das ist eine enorme Anzahl der Terrorismus auf den Enem, nur durch die Swordfish zu benutzen.

02:32:14 Regardless of all these successes, the Age of Biplanes came to its end. By the beginning of 1942, it became obvious. No matter how good the Swordfish was, it could not complete all the necessary tasks at sea. A very key piece of Swordfish action during World War II was the launch of Swordfish against what was known as the Channel Dash. The German fleet had been...

02:32:40 ...held in Brest Harbour... ...due to bad weather... ...and tried to make a bolt... ...up the English Channel... ...to get back to... ...their own German harbours. This was spotted... ...and Eugene Esmond led... ...an attack of swordfish... ...out into the English Channel... ...in absolutely atrocious... ...gale force conditions... ...to try and intercept... ...the German fleet... ...as it ran along the Channel side. Tragically, all of the swordfish... ...were shot down.

02:33:12 The reality of World War II required more modern machines to oppose the German Junkers and Messerschmitt.

02:33:27 At the beginning of World War II, the British had an apparent lag in the development of deck aviation. The reason for this was that the Admiralty underestimated the role of aircraft carriers. Accordingly, they did not allocate necessary funds, scientists, or resources to develop deck aviation. A little later, they created another aircraft, Barracuda. It was a British-built aircraft, and it had good characteristics in regard to takeoffs and landings from a ship's deck.

02:33:55 The further development of aircraft was based on the designs created for the Air Force, the Royal Air Force. They just took prototypes of their own planes, modernized, upgraded, and rebuilt them to suit the needs of the Royal Navy. In other words, land-based aircraft appeared, and on their design, ship-borne aircraft appeared to be used aboard classic carriers. It was not until after the war that the air arm of the Royal Navy received a new aircraft.

02:34:29 When batch production of the Westland Wyvern began, it was able to play the role of both an attack and fighter plane. Specifications of the carrier-borne fighter Westland Wyvern S4

02:34:42 Almost 12 m. Wingspan, 13.5 m. Maximum takeoff weight, 11,115 kg. Turboprop Armstrong Siddeley Python 3, 3670 hp. Maximum speed, 615 km per hour at a height of 3,000 m. Add power-folding wings, which, to make sure it fitted in the aircraft carrier, folded not once, but twice.

02:35:12 Otherwise, the chips would have hit the top of the aircraft carrier hanger. And it used the Jungmann flaps, which gave it a very good slow speed landing capability, and also gave it some good combat turning radius. Armament. Four 20mm Hispano Mark V cannons, two in each outer wing.

02:35:32 Up to 1,360 kg, including bombs, mines, rockets, depth charges, an 850 kg Mk. 17 torpedo, or suspended fuel tanks. Crew one person.

02:35:48 So it became the first naval airplane to have an ejection seat. So the pilot in the emergency merely pulled a firing handle and he was powered out of the airplane on a Martin Baker ejection seat. So the first time the pilot has ever had to do that. The Wyvern was one of the fastest propeller-driven airplanes the Navy ever operated. Over 460 mph.

Britische Marinefliegerei im Zweiten Weltkrieg: Von veralteten Flugzeugen zu modernen Jägern

02:36:26

02:36:26 However, apart from attack aircraft, by the beginning of World War II, the British Navy needed modern fighter planes. In the late 1930s, the British had to catch up with Germany and go from the biplane era to the monoplane era. From the first days of World War II, the Royal Navy desperately needed a carrier-borne fighter plane of the new generation.

02:37:09 The British Navy didn't realize the importance of aviation for naval warfare. Conservatism reigned there. In fact, they didn't even see any potential aerial targets at sea. They didn't think aviation would be useful to them. Meanwhile, in other countries, for example Japan or the U.S., it was developing at a tremendous pace. This situation resulted in a paradox where the leading naval power in Europe entered World War II with outdated carrier-based aircraft, the Swordfish Strike Plane and the Gloucester Gladiator Fighter.

02:37:43 It wasn't until May 1940 that the British Navy received a modern carrier-borne fighter aircraft, the Ferry Fulmar. The Ferry Aviation Company produced 600 vehicles before the end of 1942. The Ferry Fulmar is the first stress-skin all-metal monoplane fighter that the Navy had specifically built and ordered for it. The Fulmar, as a name, as a graceful bird.

02:38:11 Es ist ein schönes Seed-Bird, das extrem agiliert ist. Es ist ein schönes, einfach akrobatisch, FLYING-GUL.

02:38:29 Length, over 12 m. Wingspan, over 14 m. Maximum takeoff weight, 4,944 kg. Engine, Rolls-Royce Merlin 30, 1,300 hp. Maximum speed, 426 km per hour at a height of 3,000 m. Armament, eight 7.7 mm Browning machine guns.

02:38:55 Eight 11-kilogramm bombs under the wings. Two people.

02:39:06 Hier ist der Pilot, natürlich an der Fronten, und wieder ein Observer-Navigator in der Rear-Compartment. Dies ist wieder essenzial für die Aufmerksamkeit über den Öffentlichen, wo es sehr, sehr viele Landmarks oder Referent Marken gibt, um die Fahrt sicherlich zurück zu der Fahrrad-Carriere. Der Observer, in der Rear-Cockpit, sollte sich immer beobachten, um die Plotten zu verabschieden, um ihre Kursen zu entfernen.

02:39:34 und natürlich zurück zu dem Schiff, mit dem Schiff nicht in den gleichen Positionen, als wenn sie es leften. Die Flugzeuge war zu groß für eine Führerplane und hatte insuffisienten Geschwindigkeit. In addition, die Crew faced considerable difficulties, wenn der Vehikel war schott, und sie mussten leave es schnell wie möglich. In diesem Fall, die High-Location der Tailplane posten sehr gefährlich. Firstly, sie müssen die Flugzeuge öffnen, die sich zurückkommt.

02:40:03 Aber nur so weit. So jetzt der Pilot muss sich umbuckern, um sich in die Slipstream aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug, das ist vielleicht 150-200mph. Und dann, während der Wind und Slipstream, muss sich aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug aus dem Flugzeug.

02:40:30 Er wird nicht warten, um ihn durch den Gap zu gehen. Der Taillpläne ist noch nach vorne zu 200mph.

02:40:43 Es war sogar schwieriger für den Navigator. Wenn der Cabin bliebte und der Pilot bereits ausfällig war, oder war es wundet, könnte die Fahrt nicht kontrollieren. Und die Navigator's odds für escape waren, zu null. Fortunately, es gibt sehr wenige Probleme, wenn man rauskommt. Denn die Adrenalin funktioniert wunderschön. Wenn man rauskommt, kann man etwas, was man normalerweise nicht erreichen kann.

02:41:09 Regardless of all the Fulmer's shortcomings, it received an enthusiastic welcome in the Royal Navy. For nine months, World War II ravaged Europe, and the new fighter plane could not have come at a better time.

02:41:23 Es gab einen Teil in der Erhöhung für die Arbeit in der Mediterranean- und die Ausbildung der Malte, als auch für die Führung für die Bismarck-Reihe ahead der Swordfish und auch für die Battle of Taranto, wieder in der Mediterranean. Von März 1941, die British Royal Navy begann zu bekommen US-Carrier-Borne aircraft unter der Lend-Lease-Policy.

02:41:49 A program under which the US supplied its allies with everything necessary to support their war efforts. At the same time, Great Britain continued to design and create their own aircraft. Because we have limited resources compared with America, we design airplanes that can do more than one task. They are designed for a specific task, but they are adapted to the others.

02:42:15 The Royal Air Force performed excellently during the Battle of Britain, even the Hurricane, which was quite obsolete compared to the German Messerschmitt and inferior to it in terms of specifications. It was still a good and reliable fighter plane, which pretty much allowed them to defend Britain. And in wartime, under the conditions of limited funds and resources, they just took this Hurricane and rebuilt it to be used as a carrier-borne plane. However, when Allies got closer to the enemy shore, so to speak, that's when they needed a more reliable fighter.

02:42:44 Again, they took a land-based aircraft, the Spitfire, and upgraded it to be used from carriers under a new name, the Seafire. Specifications of the Supermarine Seafire F Mark 17 carrier-borne fighter.

02:43:01 10 m. Wingspan, over 11 m. Maximum takeoff weight, 4,300 kg. Rolls-Royce Griffin VI, 1,850 hp. Maximum speed, 636 kmh, at a height of 3,900 m. Armament. Two 20 mm Hispano Mark V cannons. Four 7.7 mm Browning machine guns.

02:43:30 Payload—one 227 kg bomb under the fuselage or two 114 kg bombs under wings and a suspended fuel tank under the fuselage. Unguided rockets—eight RP-3 rockets. Crew—one person.

02:43:49 Der Seafire war eine sehr effekte und sinnvolle Flugzeuge, aber während der Ausgabe und der Ausgabe auf einem Schiff war sehr schwierig. Es ist oft schwierig genug auf einem Land-Basen. Der Spitfire-Undercarriage kann sehr vulnerable sein auf einem Schiff auf einer Land-Basen, aber sogar auf einem Schiff mit einem Heaving-Flight-Decke, der vielleicht auf 20 oder 30 m.h.

02:44:16 During the swell of a ship's flight deck rising, the Spitfire undercarriage was proving to be quite a problem with its narrow track and its quite small design and size and strength when it became used as a flight deck aircraft. However, the aircraft was constantly upgraded.

02:44:41 Further models featured more powerful engines and contra-rotating propellers for the latest modification. By the end of the Seafire development, it was an extremely useful airplane once it was flying. And airborne, it was every bit as effective as the RAF were finding the Spitfire to be during the Battle of Britain or any of their major air offensives. Superb handling aircraft, loved by the pilots once airborne.

02:45:27 Simultaneously with the work on a new fighter, British engineers were designing an all-purpose carrier-borne aircraft. Their efforts resulted in the Faerie Firefly, which entered service in 1943. Specifications of the Faerie Firefly Fr1 carrier-borne fighter.

02:45:47 Length, over 11 m. Wingspan, over 13 m. Maximum takeoff weight, 6,759 kg. Rolls-Royce Griffin IIB, 1,735 hp. Maximum speed, 509 kmh, at a height of 5,200 m.

02:46:10 Das war von Menschen. Es gab keine Macht. Es gab 20 Menschen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen. Das war Zeit. Es war Zeit, als der Pilot auf der Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen, um die Forderung zu bringen.

02:46:39 so you could actually operate. Armament. 4.20 Hispano-Suiza Mark II cannons in wings. Payload. 2.454 kg or 227 kg under wings. RP-3 unguided rockets. Crew 2 people.

02:47:01 Und sie lieben auch, dass sie jemanden zu sprechen zu haben, in der hinteren Seite zu sprechen. Es war nicht etwas, was Piloten oftmals genutzt. Sie mussten also nachdenken, wo sie waren, finden ihre船, und wieder zurückzukehren. Es war oft sehr schwierig. Wenn wir diesen Fyter haben, britische Ingenieure haben alle Faults von den vorherigen Modellen, die vorhanden wurden, während der Take-Off.

02:47:26 A plane needs a strong headwind to successfully take off from a ship deck. To achieve this, the carrier would turn towards the wind and accelerate to a maximum speed.

02:47:39 Mit favoritiven Wind conditions, zwei-thirds der Deck-Lenz war genug für die Ferry-Firefly. Es würde schnellen und abzuhren, ohne sogar zu über 60 m.h. mit 60 m.h. Distanz. Wenn die Ferry nicht so viel Wind generiert, und sie normalerweise wollten etwas wie 35 n.h. über die Deck, dann, in fact, sie mussten eine Katapulten, das in die Zeit war ein Hydraulik-Mechanical-Katapult, Hydraulik-Ram, lots of Wires und Pulleys, und es ging weg.

02:48:08 The faster takeoffs and landings happen, the better. Independent takeoffs allowed for a new launch every 10 seconds, while the use of a catapult slowed this process down to one minute. When landing his plane on a carrier, the pilot was assisted by a landing control officer, who signaled instructions from the ship's deck with the help of paddles. When the battler man crossed his arms, the pilot merely closed his throttle, and if he'd got it right…

02:48:34 His hook, which is the first part of the airplane to actually touch the deck, would catch one of the wires across the deck and he'd be brought to a halt from 100 mph to zero in about 200 feet. He would then have to raise his hook and be taxied forward to actually keep out of the way of the airplane behind. They landed on with a worked up ship, about one every 45 seconds.

02:48:59 Several modifications of the Firefly were created. A deck fighter plane, a night interceptor equipped with a radar, which was cutting-edge technology at that time, and a very good strike aircraft.

02:49:13 A lot of pilots named their aircraft, usually with a girl's name. This one is no exception. Evil in Intentions. It's a play on words. If you say it quickly, Evil Intentions, which is exactly what the pilot hoped his airplane was actually achieving. We also on the side of the airplane have a map of Japan. One of these airplanes was the first British built and designed airplanes to fly over Tokyo towards the end of World War II.

02:49:42 when the raids were starting on Tokyo itself, before Japan surrendered. New aircrafts successfully operated in the Pacific Ocean, providing support for Allied landing operations in North Africa, escorting bombers, which attacked and sank German battleship Tirpitz in the Norwegian fjords. However, war is war, and losses were inevitable. Not only new vehicles had to be built, but also new crews had to be trained.

02:50:17 Es war besser und sicherer zu trainieren, außerhalb der Lande. Und es gab eine große Training-Pipeline in Kanada, in Amerika und in den West Indien, die Menschen lieben, weil die Wetter war schön, und es war in der Winterzeit, normalerweise, wenn sie rausgekommen sind. Es war nicht möglich, um realen Carrier zu trainieren, und future Piloten exercisierte auf speziellen Airfields, die wie ein Flugzeugzeugen waren. Er hat 3,000 ft. Auf dem Land, er hat über 300 ft.

02:50:47 Er hat eine 150-ft-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t

02:51:12 The Sea Fury became one of the last propeller-driven planes used by the Royal Navy. It was a high-speed aircraft designed to defend carriers and their escort ships against air attacks. Specifications of the Hawker Sea Fury FB Mark 11 carrier-borne fighter plane Length—over 10.5 m Maximum takeoff weight—6,522 kg Wingspan—almost 12 m

02:51:41 Maximum speed, 724 km per hour at a height of 6,100 m. Bristol Centaurus 18, 2,560 hp. The shape of the wing they needed, you couldn't get people to fold it, so they gave the pilot a hydraulic little device. He'd press a button in the cockpit. Armament. Four 20 mm Hispano Mark V cannons. Unguided rockets.

02:52:09 Up to 12 RP-3 rockets. Up to 907 kg. One person. Usually, the Sea Furies were launched with the help of a hydraulic catapult, because carrier's flight decks were too short for it to gain the necessary speed and take off with a full payload. If there was a catapult malfunction, additional rocket thrusters had to be used. These were mounted under the wings and activated by electrical ignition.

02:52:38 Sadly, oftmals das nicht passiert, weil sie über die Seite kamen. Und es gibt zwei bekanntene Fälle von einem Flugzeug über den Fronten, wo der RETOB-Tit nicht funktioniert hat, und der Pilot sitzt in der Cockpit, auf dem Flugzeug über die Hände, bevor er rauskommt, um ihn zu retten, um ihn zu retten und zu retten.

02:53:01 However, the service run of the Sea Fury was quite short. Engineers were already working on modern jet engines. New technologies allowed them to improve airplane dynamics, the system for flight control, and make vehicles more powerful and maneuverable. A new age of deck aviation began.

02:53:44 10 Jahre World of Warships. Meine Güte. Leute, wenn ihr mich vor 7 Jahren gefragt hättet, da habe ich angefangen, das Spiel zu spielen, ob ich in 7 Jahren noch World of Warships spielen würde, ich hätte euch gesagt, nein. Da stand ich in einer ganz anderen Lebenssituation und ich spiele es immer noch. Und das gerne und das so, so gerne. Vor allem mit euch da draußen, liebe Leute. Community, Gemeinschaft, Clans, das ist das, was es für mich mittlerweile ausmacht. Gemeinsam gewinnen oder auch verlieren.

02:54:11 Das ist das, was World of Warships besonders macht. Im Verhältnis zu ganz vielen anderen Games da draußen. Strategisch mit Köpfchen, aber im Team, nicht nur alleine. Und deswegen freue ich mich so sehr auf alle weiteren tollen Momente mit euch und wünsche vor allem Wargaming. Herzlichen, herzlichen Glückwunsch, wahnsinniger Erfolg und wir sehen uns.

Naval Legends und die Schlacht um den Atlantik

02:54:39

02:54:39 Each carrying a story worth remembering. That year brought especially memorable releases, with some of history's most famous warships being brought to life in the game for players to command. Naval Legends episodes highlighted HMAS Diamantina, the last of the River-class ships, and HMS Cavalier, the last surviving Royal Navy Destroyer from World War II. Through these episodes, the history of these ships was kept alive, allowing their stories to be shared far beyond their years of service.

02:55:20 The collection of the Queensland Maritime Museum in Brisbane includes a remarkable exhibit, Frigate HMAS Diamantina. This humble ship can be rightly called a unique monument to an important part of the world's naval history. That's because she is the last remaining representative of the River-class ships, which became famous for their contribution to the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II.

02:55:45 On September 3, 1939, several hours after Great Britain had declared war on Germany, a German U-boat sank the British cruise liner Athenia. Two weeks later, aircraft carrier HMS Courageous was torpedoed. Thus began the battle for the Atlantic. It was mainly fought between German U-boats, Allied transport convoys, and their escorting ships.

02:56:30 The escorts that they were using at that stage for the convoys were small destroyers, mostly left over from World War I, and very small corvettes and sloops. These older warships were unable to handle the conditions of the North Atlantic, both weather-wise but also did not have the endurance to be able to escort a convoy all the way across the Atlantic.

02:56:59 from Great Britain to the east coast of the United States. At the beginning of the war, the convoys carrying vital supplies to Great Britain sailed from the USA and Canada virtually unprotected, and very often fell prey to German U-boats. Only in the 200-mile area near the British Isles, the so-called Western Approaches, screening ships met the convoys and escorted them to British ports.

02:57:26 They needed a ship built especially for the sole purpose of protecting transport convoys. This type of ship wouldn't bombard coastal defenses or fight against enemy surface targets. It would only engage German U-boats and protect transports in a convoy. It wasn't long before a project was developed that met all the requirements.

02:58:01 The ship had a great cruising range, and was so different from the vessels that usually escorted convoys, that the Admiralty brought back a term from the era of sailing ships, the frigate. As the majority of ships were named after British rivers, the entire series became known as the River Class. The River Class project had an important advantage. The ships could be constructed by both specialized military shipyards and civil shipbuilding enterprises.

02:58:38 Specifications of the river-class frigate HMAS Diamantina Length Almost 92 m Beam More than 11 m Draft 4 m Displacement 2,200 tons Armament Primary armament Two dual-purpose 102 mm Mk. 16 guns Anti-aircraft artillery Three Bofors guns, caliber 40 mm

02:59:06 4 Oerlikon guns Caliber 20 mm Anti-submarine armament 4 depth charge rails and 150 depth charges in storage The main power plant consisted of two triple expansion steam engines that produced 5,500 hp Maximum speed 20 knots Cruising range more than 5,000 miles at 12 knots

02:59:34 The initial actions of German submarines were mostly individual. They acted on their own. But when convoy protection was reinforced, when the Allies constructed many special ships to escort transports, the Germans had to invent a way to overcome their defenses. That's when they devised the so-called Wolfpack tactic.

Technologische Fortschritte und Taktiken im Kampf gegen U-Boote

02:59:54

02:59:54 It works like this. A U-Boat discovers a convoy. The flagship that commands a Wolfpack or a system of Wolfpacks transmits the order to other U-Boats to move to that area. And those U-Boats start to gather to intercept the convoy. Lots of them!

03:00:21 Diamantina war mit einem 2.7.1 Radar, das hat eine große Rolle gemacht hat, in den Kursen von World War II zu verändern. Die Britons hat die größte Sekret des World War II entwickelt, die der Cavity Magnetron ist, und die Cavity Magnetron ist am Anfang dieser 2.7.1 Radar. Its größte Rolle in den Kontext von Convoys war die Möglichkeit, an der Nacht zu detecten, die Submarinen auf der superficie.

03:00:48 als sie nach dem convoy zu attacken. Und die Deutschen waren unabhängig, dass die Escorten waren mit Radar, und sie konnten sehen oder detecten diese Submarine, als sie ihren Anruf gemacht wurden. Die Radar konnte nur ein Submarine auf der Erde erkennen, wenn es auf der Erde war. Aber sie sind meistens nur vor dem Angriff.

03:01:19 Unfortunately, warships in World War II were unable to detect torpedoes that had been fired. And they relied entirely on lookouts, picking up the track of the torpedo as it approached the ships. And because of the propulsion system used by most of the torpedoes, they could see a line of bubbles coming to the surface. Well, I can only relate.

03:01:45 A training experience, when Murchison was exercising with British submarines. And I was given the task of looking for the torpedo bubbles. But when I sighted the bubbles, and by the time I reported them to the captain, the bubbles are now on the other side of the ship. So his words to me were, Singleman, if this was a real war situation, we would be now manning the lifeboats.

03:02:24 Even if his ship managed to dodge torpedoes, thanks to the vigilance of signalmen, it was difficult to retaliate, because the submarine swiftly disappeared from sight. Having launched torpedoes, submarines dived, and they could only be discovered with the help of a special device, sonar.

03:02:45 Near the bow of the ship, just close behind us here, is a black dome, and that is the sonar dome fitted to these ships. And the sonar is a bit like a torch beam, which is projecting a sound signal out into the water and hoping to get a reflection back of something like a submarine. And that sonar equipment is directional, and so where it's pointing, where it's looking, where it's sending the beam out is under the control of the operator.

03:03:14 Das war eine der wichtigsten Szenen, die diese Spiele hatten, für die Submarine zu detectieren. A Frigate's Kapitän hatte zu tun mit der Short-Comingen von Sonar, wenn ein Counterattack gegen eine Submarine zu planen. Es verletzte Kontakt mit der Targeten, an einem über 140 m. Thus, der Kapitän hatte zu wissen, die mögliche Kurs der Submarine zu tun, und direkt seine Spiegel straight nach dem Submarine. Unter den Konditionen einer intensiven Kampf.

03:03:42 Decisions had to be made in mere seconds, and controlling the maneuverable frigate required some skill, especially in rough seas.

03:03:53 The interesting things about here is that the helmsman who is steering the ship is actually unable to see where we're going and that's fairly typical of British warships of the Second World War. Orders come down to the helmsman from the bridge deck above us where the captain or the officer of the watch is actually giving the instructions for steering the ship and also for giving the engine orders here through the telegraphs which are then down to the engine room to change the ship's speed.

03:04:29 I'm seated in the Captain's day cabin aboard the frigate Diamantina. And these ships were very unique because they incorporated a major design feature that brought the whole ship's company into the middle section of the ship, close to where we are now. However, when the Battle of the Atlantic started and the destroyers were operating in the very rough conditions in the North Atlantic, the British Navy was losing officers swept over the side.

03:04:59 When they were moving from their accommodation in the after section of the ship to try and get to the bridge across the upper decks, there was no way through the engineering spaces to get to the forward part of the ship. And so when they came to the design of these ships, the British realised that they needed to move the officers into the forward section of the ship, which is where we are today.

03:05:28 At the end of April 1943, after a week's storm-filled cruise, convoy ONS-5 was intercepted by a Wolfpack. The convoy's screening ships, including several river-class frigates, repelled the attacks of about 40 submarines for several days. Thirteen transports were sunk. The German submarines had the advantage until the fifth day of battle, when the convoy entered a stripe of dense fog.

03:06:10 In a single moment, Hunters became prey, betrayed by the bright markings on radar screens of escorting ships. In the impenetrable haze, the British frigates competently found German U-boats and attacked them.

03:06:36 Für combat gegen die Submerge Submarine, die ship hatte über 100 Depth Charges in den Depth Charge Magazine. Es waren große Cylinders, full of Explosives, die sie entweder rollen aus dem Stern oder launchen aus der Seite aus dem Ship, in einem pattern, set an unterschiedlichen Depths, um zu versuchen, um die Submarine und zu close zu der Submarine, und entweder crush die Submarine oder force die Submarine zurück zu der surface.

03:07:07 There were two ways to drop depth charges on river-class frigates, from rails on the aft and with the help of K-gun throwers installed on the ship's sides. The simultaneous use of these two methods increased the effective area and probability of damaging a submarine.

03:07:31 The Hedgehog mortar launcher was another anti-submarine weapon of the River-class. It fired 24 30kg bombs ahead of a ship. A salvo from a Hedgehog covered an area of more than 30m in diameter. The system was effective, but unreliable at first. That's why depth charges remained the primary anti-submarine weapon of River-class frigates. However, escorting ships had to engage submarines in artillery duels quite often as well.

03:08:09 These 4-inch guns on Diamantina were all mechanically operated. So they had men manning the elevation and men manning the training of the weapon. And there were no inputs from other sources, such as a gun director, which you would find on the larger warships. And so these were all in local control. They would target and engage the enemy unit from this weapon.

03:08:37 Unter verbal direction from the gunnery officer who was on the bridge.

HMAS Diamantina: Vom Atlantik zum Pazifik und ihr Vermächtnis

03:08:47

03:08:47 At the time when, in the Northern Hemisphere, the grandiose battle for the Atlantic reached its turning point, Walker's limited shipyard in Maryborough, Australia laid down frigate HMAS Diamantina. By the moment of her launch, the Atlantic was basically clear of German submarines, thanks in no small part to British river-class frigates. Now, their Australian sister-in-arms was to participate in the final act of World War II.

03:09:14 The frigate was commissioned in April 1945 Diamantina took part in operations against Japanese troops in New Guinea near Solomon Islands and Bougainville Island

03:09:27 Diamond Tina has in my mind three claims to fame. First of all, she is the last Australian warship to fire a shot at the Japanese in the Second World War. The second claim to fame was that the Japanese garrison at the islands of Nauru and Ocean Island in the Pacific actually surrendered on the quarterdeck of this ship. And the third claim is that she's the last.

03:09:56 in the world of this class of ship. After World War II, river class frigates continued to serve in the navies of 20 countries for several decades. In 1959, Diamantina was re-equipped as an oceanographic survey ship. Her contribution to the study of ocean depths was acknowledged when a fracture zone in the Indian Ocean was named after her.

03:10:44 In den 1980s, der船 wurde honorerlich decommissioniert, und in einem komfortableten Drei-Dog in der Queensland Maritime Museum in Brisbane. Jetzt, der brillant australianne Son warnt den Deck der letzte船 von der River-Klasse, eine Familie von kleinen Spielen, die in den deutschen Wolfpag in den Norden Atlantischen.

03:11:25 In 2018, World of Warships took another big step forward with new shiplines. British Destroyers arrived with the Daring Class, American Light Cruisers came with Tier X Worcester, and France expanded with the Republic battleship line.

Naval Legends: Historische Schiffe und technologische Entwicklungen im Zweiten Weltkrieg

03:13:44

03:13:44 That year also introduced some truly distinctive designs that stood out from the rest. Each new arrival gave players more to explore and showed how the game continued to grow year after year. Outside of gameplay, 2018 was also rich with history from naval legends. One episode told the story of British gunboat M33, remembered for her adaptability in wartime.

03:14:09 Another featured SS Red Oak Victory, a ship that carried tons of ammunition across the Pacific and later served in both Korea and Vietnam. Today she rests at the Rosie Derivator World War II Homefront National Historic Park, a lasting tribute to the people who built and sailed her. In this episode, VJ Days Transports, Victory Class Cargo Ships.

03:14:54 During World War II, the press, enraptured by the scale of the Lend-Lease program, wrote that Liberty-class transports carried in their holds another cargo, the most important one, victory.

03:15:11 Es ist wahr, aber diese Vessels wurden erst einmal bekannt, dank der outstanding performance und standardisation der US-industrie und der courage ihrer Multinational-Crews. Als für die Libertys selbst, sie waren ziemlich old-fashioned steamschips, designed für eine fünf-jährige Operation-Cycle. US-Shipbuilders closely studiert die Erfahrung von der ersten Hälfte der Welt in der ersten Hälfte des World War II, und in 1943, sie createden den Projekt für eine neue Mass-Transport für Wartime.

03:15:41 When developing the Victory ships, US engineers were already thinking about the outcome of the war and the postwar period. That's why they took the Liberty vessel, improved it, and built Victory-class cargo liners. They were reliable, spacious, and remained in service until the mid-1990s.

03:16:00 The project for transports of a new type was developed by Bethlehem, the biggest US shipbuilding company. And on April 28, 1943, it received a resounding name, Victory. However, the mass production of these vessels began only nine months later, because the War Industries Board, which controlled the US industry, required time to organize the production of a sufficient number of engines for them.

03:16:28 This particular vessel is Red Oak Victory. She is more than Richmond, California. General specifications of the Victory-class cargo ship Red Oak.

03:16:40 Length, 139 m. Beam, 19 m. Draft, 8.5 m. Displacement, 15,200 t. Tonnage, 10,850 t. The two main differences were that the victories were about 1,000 tons heavier, and they had a steam turbine engine giving them an extra 6 knots or so of speed. Allows a little bit more survivability against torpedoes. Armament.

03:17:10 One dual-purpose Mark XII gun with a calibre of 127 mm. One dual-purpose gun with a calibre of 76 mm. The 3.50 is only the middleweight gun on the Victory Class, an excellent dual-purpose weapon found on pretty much most naval ships in World War II for the US. It's arguably one of the best guns of the war. This would have been a significant threat, particularly to surface submarines.

03:17:35 8 20 mm Orlikon anti-aircraft cannons. Behind me you can see one of the Orlikon 20 mm cannons. This was an outstanding weapon that would have seen service pretty much all over the world. It was a dual-purpose gun, primarily used for anti-aircraft defense, although it could be used against any small raiders such as Hobbito, which may happen to be encountered. Red Oak Victory would have carried eight of these, four on each side.

03:18:01 Cruise speed, 15 knots with a powerplant of 6,000 HP, or 17 knots with a powerplant of 8,500 HP. Crew, 62 Merchant Fleet Sailors and 28 Navy Sailors. Cruising range, 23,500 miles.

03:18:26 Engineers tried to keep the Victory Project as close to the Liberty design as possible to preserve the technological effectiveness of mass production at US shipyards. Well, they did a lot of prefabrication. And so a lot of it was built, you know, in sections. And then what they did is they, you know, they put sections together. In other words, it just wasn't one at a time. They're building different sections in different parts of the shipyard.

03:18:59 Nevertheless, das neue Transport war ziemlich hervorragend. Ein Vor-Kastel, ein Schmokestack, und drei Cargo-Masts mit großen Kroß. Sie ermöglicht für die Installation von sehr starken Elektrik-Kranen und Hoist, das ermöglicht die Victoires, um die Läden und die Läden zu entdecken. Apart von dem, die Hull-Line waren verändert, die, mit mehr Powerful-Engines, in eine höhere Höhe. Die Schiff-Struktur wurde auch verbessert.

03:19:27 A greater distance between bulkheads allowed engineers to make the hull less rigid and avoid the deformation that liberties were vulnerable to in rough seas.

03:19:45 Die erste Victory-Class Transport begann in März 1944. However, nur 15 Vessels dieser Klasse wurden in den ersten sechs Monaten gebaut. Die Hauptgruppe der Victory-Ships wurden gebaut, als der Krieg in Europa in Europa war zu Ende, und der Krieg für den Atlantik für die Allies war. Das ist deshalb, dass keine neuen Transporten für die German U-Boats fallen. Es ist aber nicht so, dass fünf aus der sechs Shipyards, die Victory-Ships gebaut wurden, auf dem West Coast der USA.

03:20:13 These cargo vessels became a crucial part of a colossal supply machine that provided US troops in the Pacific region with everything necessary to successfully wage war. Flotillas of Victory ships made up entire mobile supply bases for the Army and Navy at deserted Pacific atolls.

03:20:33 In total, 531 Victory-class ships were built in the US during the war. They were the biggest series of line cargo ships in the 20th century. According to calculations by US historians, during the Pacific War, one ton of cargo was required to supply one soldier with a monthly ration of food, medicine, fuel, and ammunition.

03:20:56 The Americans built such a large number of victories that they could provide a monthly allowance to an army of 5.7 million people. The same number of people in the Soviet armed forces, including the Air Force and Navy, when Germany attacked the USSR on June 22, 1941.

03:21:15 The first ship received the name United Victory, and the following 33 ships were named after the Allied countries fighting against the Axis powers. 218 vessels were named after small US cities. For example, Red Oak Victory got her name from a town in Iowa that suffered the heaviest losses per head among all US towns in World War II.

03:21:37 The following 150 ships were named after US colleges and universities. The names of the few remaining transports were quite random, but they all contained the word victory.

03:21:58 117 more victories were commissioned as Haskell-class attack transports. They were classic attack transports of the US Navy. Apart from being loaded with troops and vehicles, they carried landing crafts of different types to participate in landing operations. Every ship of this class could transport up to 1,500 troops with armament, vehicles and equipment. Thus, two attack transports like this could carry an entire regiment of US Marines.

03:22:26 von der World War II.

03:23:10 In der zweiten Halbzeit der 1940s, 170 Vessels wurden sold zu private Shipping-Companyen, wo sie auf die Korte der US-Merchand-Fleet waren, wie die Projekte der Projekte hatten. Ein paar Dozen Transports wurden in den US-Armys Supply-Service, und die resten wurden zu der Reserve-Fleet und Mothball. Die letzte von ihnen wurden von der Reserve-Fleet in nur 2010.

03:23:42 However, the Cold War began, and the service of victory ships was required again. Thirty-six transports of this class participated in the Korean War, while one hundred of them were recommissioned during the Vietnam War. In August 1966, Baton Rouge victory was severely damaged by a mine laid by Vietcong combatants at the exit of Saigon's port. In 1950, North Korean troops defeated the South Korean army.

03:24:10 And an enormous number of refugees fled towards the only free port, Pusan. One of the Victory ships, Morett of Victory, had arrived there. Saving people from approaching North Korean troops, the vessel took 14,000 refugees on board. 14,000 refugees! What does that mean from a shipbuilding point of view? The vessel could have capsized any moment, because his carrying capacity was seriously exceeded. They consciously took this risk. A tremendous risk.

03:24:39 And save those 14,000 people. They ferried them to Geoghe Island, to safety.

03:24:46 Three Victory-class vessels survived. They are preserved in the US as museums. Red Oak Victory was commissioned on December 5, 1944, and was one of ten transports of this class specially equipped to deliver artillery ammunition. At the final stage of the Pacific War, Red Oak Victory served in the 10th Squadron of Material and Technical Support based at the Eniwitek Atoll and the Philippines, where she supplied US warships fighting through to Japan.

03:25:16 Nach der Krieg war die Transporte in der Reserve in Kalifornien, aber sie wurde re-kommissioniert mehrere Stunden, wenn es notwendig war. Sie verleidete Cargo zu US-Troops in Korea zwischen 1950 und 1953 und in Vietnam von 1966 bis 1968. Red Oak Victory wurde mit 8 Medals für ihre Service gekauft.

03:25:40 In 1993, the ship was going to be scrapped, but the Richmond Museum Association solicited before the US Congress for the transfer of the ship to the local History Museum. Five years later, Red Oak Victory became a part of the National Historical Park, dedicated to the work of the US military industry during World War II. She's one of the last modest workers of war who crossed the oceans to bring victory in her cargo holds.

03:26:25 Happy Birthday World of Warships. I started playing in July 2015 and I now have more than 7k games, especially in Fuso. I became CC in 2018 and it was a big year for me because apart from being CC, I also got the job I wanted and also I became a father for the second time. Big year for me. Yeah, really. The thing I liked...

03:26:50 in World of Warships was the Dynamo event with the cards. Please make more collectable cards and playable cards events. That was especially great. My best wishes to you, the team and the community. Take care. Bye.

Italienische Marinegeschichte: Von bemannten Torpedos bis zur Schlacht um Alexandria

03:27:07

03:27:07 French destroyer Maia Breze was the subject of an early 2018 Naval Legends episode, preserving the story of a ship that had once nearly been lost to an accidental explosion. Later, American battleship Alabama was highlighted, with her service during World War II remembered for both endurance and presence in the Pacific. One of the most striking stories, however, came with Naval Legends Maiale, the tale of Italy's daring human torpedo, a secret weapon that embodied innovation under pressure.

03:27:45 Wir sind jetzt in der Warehouse für den Explosion Museum, wo wir viele unserer Artefacts gehalten haben, sehr interessantes Guns.

03:28:11 At the beginning of World War II, Italy had quite a powerful navy. However, it wasn't powerful enough to take control of the Mediterranean Sea away from Great Britain. Starting from the 1920s, when the Fascists came to power, Rome wanted to take back the Mare Nostrum, having ruled it 2,000 years prior. However, London clearly asserted who the leading power of the Mediterranean was at that time.

03:28:39 Mit der Havoc, von 20 Englisch-Torpedo-Bombers, in November 1940, die Italien wussten, dass sie nicht die Britsch-Navie in den Öffnen konnten, so sie eine Planung für eine Covert-Warum.

03:28:54 What we have here is a two-man submersible submarine that was designed by the Italians and used in the Second World War. This submersible submarine is an open submarine that is used for attacking ships that are tied alongside in their home ports, i.e. their own harbours.

03:29:16 It wasn't a brand new idea. At the end of World War I, the Italians developed and successfully employed a human torpedo. Two frogmen could covertly approach an enemy ship while controlling a torpedo apparatus. They detached the charge transported in the torpedo bow and suspended it under the ship's bottom on a tow line between bilge keels. They set the detonation time using a simple clock.

03:29:57 In the mid-1930s, Italian forces renewed their interest in human torpedoes. Mussolini thought of this as the superweapon that was capable of destroying the British navy, which threatened De Tucci's imperial ambitions. In 1935, the Italians designed an experimental prototype based on the 533 mm torpedo used by their navy. That same year, in the mouth of the Sergio River,

03:30:26 Between La Spezia und Livorno, the Italians established a secret guided-torpedo training base, where the Assault Fleet Frogmen could master the superweapon.

03:30:46 Die ersten Prototypen-Torpedo waren sehr schwer zu kontrollieren und oft verletzten. Das ist warum die Italien-Sailer nicknamed die Apparatus a Meiali, a Pig. Der Geistungssystem für dieses ist mit allen Wissen. Es ist sehr schwer zu stehern. Es ist sogar schwer zu stehern, als die Charges sind, weil es keine Bauer gibt, um die Chariot zu stehern.

03:31:15 When this was in use, many times this would be abandoned anyway, and the divers would be left to their own devices to find their own way back to the ship where they came from. Model SLC, Siluro Alente Corsa, slow-running torpedo, 1940. Its length, including the warhead, was 7.3 meters. Width of the apparatus was slightly more than half of a meter. Height at the protection plate level, 1 meter.

03:31:44 Weight, including the warhead, 1,588 kg. Weight of the warhead at the earlier design stage was 220 kg. At the later stages, 250 or 350 kg. Power plant, one electric motor, 1.6 horsepower. Power supply, a storage battery. Operating voltage, 60 volts.

03:32:08 Maximum speed up to 3 knots. Submergence depth up to 30 meters. Cruising range up to 15 miles. Crew 2 people.

03:32:18 In 1943, Italian engineers designed a new guided torpedo model and called it Siluro San Bartolomeo, the St. Bartholomew Torpedo. The cockpit is open to water, so the divers will be wearing a full diving gear, which is their diving tanks, their masks and all the tubes that go with it. So as you can imagine, it's not very comfortable and it can be quite awkward to...

03:32:47 Model SSB 1943 6.8 m 0.8 m 1 m Weight, including the warhead, 2,200 kg. The carrier could be equipped with either a single 300-400 kg warhead or two consecutively loaded warheads at 180-200 kg each.

03:33:15 Powerplant, one electric motor, 7.5 horsepower. Supplied with a storage battery. Operating voltage, 60 volts. Maximum speed, 4 knots. Operating submergence depth, up to 30 meters. Crew, two people.

03:33:32 On June 10, 1940, Italy joined World War II on Germany's side. At the same time, the Italian Navy officially adopted the SLC guided torpedo, and they immediately started their drills at the secret base in the mouth of the Cerchio River for sabotage missions against the British Navy located in the Mediterranean Sea.

03:33:55 In 1940–41, Fleet Frogmen on the SLC guided torpedoes executed eight raids on the main British naval bases in Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria. Most of the missions failed, but the Italians persistently mastered the combat application and equipment of their guided torpedoes.

03:34:17 The levers and the controls in here, apart from the steering controls, we have valves which control the air in the ballast tanks, again, to assist the depth of the underwater submersible. The whole contraption is more like a fairground ride than it is a serious war machine, but in 1942, 1943, when this was used, they were prepared to try anything.

03:34:46 und sie würden sie in der Nacht launchen. Und sie würden dann in den Hörbüren gehen, um so viel damage zu können. Ende 1941, die Axis launched eine andere Offensive auf die English-Ships. Die Naval-Situation war mehr als nur glücklich. Owingen zu den successfulen Aktiensten der Germanen Submarinen, es gab nur zwei Battleships in der British-Mediterranien-Fleet. Queen Elizabeth und Valiant.

03:35:15 Both ships were located in the Alexandria port. On 14 December, submarine Shearer, carrying 3 SLC-guided torpedoes and 10 frogmen, left the secluded Porto Lago Bay on Liros Island and set sail towards Alexandria. On the fourth day of sailing, soon after sunset, the submarine reached its destination point 1.5 miles from the Alexandria trading port. On 18 December 1941, around midnight,

03:35:49 A Kommando team set off for a mission on three guided torpedoes.

03:35:54 They were approaching the harbour entrance semi-submerged. The entrance was blocked by a steel net that could become a serious threat to the mission. But Fortuna smiled upon the Frogmen. The English had removed the barriers to let their destroyers into the base. The Italians seized the moment and entered the harbour together with the destroyers. The teams separated once they'd entered the harbour. The mines were planted on Queen Elizabeth precisely as planned.

03:36:23 The Commandos fixed a towline on the bilge keels and set up a charge exactly under the keel. The mines were also planted on tanker Sagona, without any issues. But the crew that were mining battleship Valiant encountered some difficulties. Within a few meters of the ship, the breathing apparatus of one of the Commandos failed, forcing him to surface.

03:36:44 Dann der Torpedo war in der Wasser und sank wegen der Technik-Failur. Leutnant Luigi de la Penna trawled der Torpedo all by himself und left es unter dem Bottom des Battleshipen, close zu dem Magazin des ersten Turrets.

03:37:00 In the morning of December 19, three explosions blasted in the Alexandria port. That's how six commandos on three guided torpedoes managed to shift the naval balance in the Mediterranean Sea in favor of the Italians. However, not for long. The Italians tried to keep their superweapon a secret, but the British successfully procured several of the human torpedoes. In August 1943, the guided torpedo fleet

03:37:28 der letzte Mission mit den Meiali gesucht wurde. Italien capitulatete einige Wochen später, und alle ihre Militärische secrets fallen in den Handen der Allies.

Kanadische Marinelegende HMCS Haida: Zerstörer im Zweiten Weltkrieg und Koreakrieg

03:37:54

03:37:54 Greetings World of Warships community, I'm Pinzo, I've been playing the game for 7 years since 2018, I've been a community contributor for 4 years since 2021. My favourite parts of World of Warships are the random event modes that we get every so often, ranging from key battles to savage battles to the recent Unbreakable Line, going all the way back to bathtub battles, and who can forget the googly volcano.

03:38:20 Hopefully World of Warships community has been a fantastic 10 years for all of you and here's to another 10 years of World of Warships. And for a different kind of adventure, the game reached beyond Earth with the introduction of space battles, taking the fight up into the cosmos with a playful and unforgettable event. At the same time, naval legends continued to honor ships with reputations forged in combat, including Canadian naval legend Haida, the last surviving tribal class destroyer.

03:38:48 Her distinguished World War II record made her a symbol of resilience and her story ensured that her legacy would endure far beyond her service. Millions of years ago, our Galactic Federation encountered the Empire of Reptilians while exploring the galaxy. Negotiations failed and a long bloody war of extermination started.

03:39:20 Mein Klipper war in einer der entscheidenden Kriege, neben dem Herz des Reptilian Empire selbst. Ein kleiner Planeten, wo die Reptilien haben einen Inkubator gegründet, um neue Kombination zu verbreiten.

03:39:40 I walked into an ambush and my spacecraft, shrouded in fire, crashed into the ocean. The blast was so powerful that the climate on the planet changed and the experimental reptilian species was wiped out. We had won, but I didn't learn that until later. During the fall, I managed to get into the cryo chamber where I stayed.

03:40:09 Frozen at the bottom of the ocean for millions of years. Remarkably, the intelligent sea mammals entered my ship, deciphered my scientific records, and managed to set my clipper into orbit so I could get back home to Reese's. After I returned, I was horrified to discover that there was no longer a unified federation.

03:40:42 The Green and Red Alliances now ruled. The Alliances were fighting over a unique mineral called Ironium. Luckily, instead of wars, the Alliances arranged a form of gladiator games. What is left for a professional soldier in such a world? I shall seek victory in the arena.

03:41:33 Hamilton, Ontario ist etwa 45 Minuten soweit von Toronto. Hier kann sich die HMCS Haida befinden. Sie ist die letzte der Tribal-Class Destroyer, und ist die Kanada-Naval-Legend. Wenn Sie eine Kanadierin in den 20. Jahrhundert gefragt haben, über ihre Landwirte, die mehr als 240,000 Kilometer aus der Fläche, der Antwort wäre wahrscheinlich nicht mehr als diese Sprache.

03:42:23 At that time, Canada was the dominion of the British Empire, and the defense of its sea borders was entirely under the authority of Whitehall. The Canadian Navy didn't exist until 1910, in the First World War.

03:42:42 Wir hatten zwei olden Kruisers aus der Royal Navy, aber sie machten nichts, sie waren einfach als depot-sips. Und vieles war, ob wir überhaupt eine Navy in der ersten Zeit haben müssen. Und es war ein großes Problem mit der whole Defense in den 30s, ob wir es überhaupt nicht brauchen. Es gab nicht wirklich einen Sinn für die Canadian Navy.

03:43:21 In the first half of the 1930s, Japan, Italy, France, and Germany were reinforcing their navies with brand-new destroyers, carrying powerful artillery and torpedo armament. Of course, Great Britain didn't want to be an outsider in this race. In 1935, British engineers developed a destroyer that was able to successfully oppose the most powerful ships of this type at that time—the Japanese Fubuki-class destroyers. It became known as the Tribal-class.

03:43:56 As soon as the Royal Navy received 16 Tribals, British Dominions expressed their desire to obtain the newest destroyers as quickly as possible, because the drums of the European war were already heard across the oceans. Canada mobilized. One-tenth, Canada in 1939 had a population of 12 million. We had one million men and women in uniform.

03:44:45 All of those people were volunteers. All Canadian combatants were volunteers. So when you see those war graves in Normandy and in Holland or in Italy, those people were all volunteers.

03:45:38 As the Canadian Navy grew, mostly thanks to the addition of escort corvettes and frigates, its area of responsibility also increased and, in the end, included the entire North Atlantic. Each new ship, even a modest minesweeper, contributed to the combat capability of the Allies at sea. Destroyer Hyder was laid down at the end of September of 1941 at a British Vickers Armstrong shipyard. The ship was commissioned two years later and was assigned to the Metropolitan Fleet.

03:46:22 Specifications of Destroyer Hider. Length, almost 115 m. Beam, more than 11 m. Draft, 3.96 m. Total displacement, 2,519 t. Armament, primary armament. Six Mark XII guns installed in three twin turrets. Caliber, 120 mm. Mark XVI dual-purpose guns in a twin mount.

03:46:49 Calibre 102 mm. Anti-Aircraft Artillery, a Vickers Mk. VII quadruple anti-aircraft machinegun, Pom-Pom, Calibre 40 mm. Six twin Orlikon autocannons, Calibre 20 mm. Mine and torpedo armament, a quadruple torpedo launcher, Calibre 533 mm. Two Mk. IV mortars and an aft depth-charge release gear. The ship carried 30 mines in reserve. Powerplant.

03:47:17 3 Admiralty-Type Boilers and 2 Parsons Geared Steam Turbines 44,000 hp Maximum Speed 36 knots 5,700 miles at 15 knots

03:47:35 Zeta's primary punch came from three twin 4.7 inch mounts. This was very heavy firepower for a destroyer of the era. They did come with a couple of advantages, as a few German destroyers discovered, but they also came with one significant disadvantage. The elevation was limited to only about 40 degrees on these mounts. In order to fix this, what they did was they replaced the 4.7s with twin 4 inch dual purpose mounts, such as the ones behind me now.

03:48:02 Diese können 85-degrees elevationen und entgegen die Flugzeugen, sowie die Schwerpunkte zu über 14.5 Kilometern. Von dem Anfang, die Schwerpunkte des Tribalprojekten gezeichnet haben, die Anführung des Reinforzungsartillerie gezeichnet haben, und planen zu installieren fünf 120 mm Twin-Turrets, drei auf dem Bauer und zwei auf dem Aft. Die船 wurde als eine Destroyer-Leader gezeichnet, und es war bereit, um die Objekte des Lichtsruisers zu beitragen.

03:48:32 Supporting squadrons of Allied destroyers, defending the main forces of the fleet against enemy destroyer attacks, and carrying out long-range reconnaissance and patrols.

03:48:46 One of the controversial design decisions when they were creating the Tribals was that they decided to reduce the torpedo complement in favor of the gun batteries. As a result, the Tribals were only equipped with a single quad mount for the 21-inch torpedoes, and these would go about 5 miles at 45 knots. The theory was that ordinarily the torpedo would be the main armament of a destroyer to sink ships, but it turns out in practice, hiatus kills were all done with gunfire.

03:49:14 The torpedoes were aimed from the bridge wings. What would happen is, once the trigger was pulled up there, a signal was sent to fire this shell casing, which has propellant. The gases would then expand within the reservoir here, push out the torpedo over the side of the ship, because the stanchions would go down and then off towards the target.

03:49:38 And each torpedo tube is labeled with a letter. And what you do is you always fire the aft torpedo first, because as the destroyer is moving, you want to make sure that they don't hit each other.

03:49:54 Of course, having the ships is all very well, but they're not going to do very much without having the personnel to man them. Canada started off the war as basically a homeland defense force. She had six destroyers, a number of smaller vessels, and a navy of about 1,700 personnel. They had great possibilities for promotion, though, because by the end of the war, Canada's navy had expanded to over 110,000 personnel and had the third largest amount of surface vessels in the world.

03:50:22 Destroyer Heider began her combat career by escorting Russian arctic convoys. At the end of December 1943, the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst tried to attack convoy JW-55B, which was escorted by Heider, among others. However, the destroyer did not have a chance to participate in the destruction of the German Raider. It was handled by her more heavyweight allies from the Metropolitan Fleet.

03:50:51 The Canadian Navy came under the control of the Royal Navy. They were controlled, operated by, basically controlled by the Royal Navy. It wasn't until later on, again, as the Canadian Navy grew, that we were looking for our own, we again became our own entity unto ourselves. A, because of size, and B, because of where we were. But by and large, yes, the Canadian Navy was very much treated as colonials and second-class citizens.

03:51:20 Except for, again, this ship and the Tribals. These were the top of the forum and they bested the Brits at doing the same thing. In January 1944, Haider was assigned to the 10th Destroyer Flotilla, which monitored the western part of the English Channel.

03:51:45 On April 26th, während der Patrol, ihre Squadron discovered drei German destroyers. Haider und ihre sister-Ship, Athabaskan, engagierten die German T-29, which ended in der destruction der Latter. Eine und eine halve Monate später, in der gleichen Ort, eine battle in der Haider macht herself famous, und bräuchte Glück für die gesamte Royal Canadian Navy.

03:52:06 The 9th of June 1944 saw Heide partake in a rather spirited and very chaotic fight against the 8th Destroyer Flotilla of the German Navy. The 8th was a small force consisting of three destroyers, two Narbecks, a captured Dutch ship and a torpedo boat, whilst the 10th Destroyer Flotilla, of which Heide was a part, consisted of two four-ship divisions. The 19th was mainly inexperienced vessels.

03:52:33 und der 20. war, ich würde sagen, der 18. Sie haben gesagt, dass sie die Germanen Fortschritte unterrichtet werden, die der Englisch-Channel betreffend ist. Und sicherlich, ein Kontakt wurde in etwa 7 km. Die Germanen Destroyer sahen die Allied-Ships zuerst, als sie von der Moonlighten wurden. Die Germans launched 12 Torpedos, aber ihre Adverserien haben sie geschafft.

03:53:06 An artillery battle broke out, and the Allies had total fire superiority. Ida and Huron concentrated fire on Z-24 and quickly achieved success. Almost the entire above-water part of the ship was destroyed and set ablaze. The enemy attempted to flee under the cover of a smokescreen.

03:53:33 The flagship Z-32 continued fighting against Tatar and Ashanti on her own, and took three hits. Z-32 turned right to put some distance between her and the Allies. Ashanti rushed after her. At this moment, the damaged ZH-1 became visible in the dissipating smoke. Her artillery quickly opened fire on Tatar, but Ashanti arrived in time and torpedoed the motionless ship.

03:54:00 The torpedo explosion tore the ZH-1's bow away. A shanty kept firing on the German destroyer. At 2.40, ZH-1 exploded and sank. Later that night, Canadian destroyers were sweeping the area and stumbled across the heavily damaged Z-32. Fleeing from them, Z-32 was driven ashore on the Ilga Bats, where, in the morning, she was finished off by British bowfighter aircraft.

03:54:42 The Allies managed to destroy two German destroyers and damage two more.

03:54:48 Nach dem Erfolg der Krieg auf June 9, 1944, Heide und ihre Allies weitergegangen waren, um die Anstrengung aus den Wagen zu entfernen. Während der Krieg in der Englisch-Channel Heide hatte ein paar Vorteile, called Radar. In fact, sie hatte drei davon. Sie hatte, zuerst ein Gunnery Radar. Das war klar genug, um die Falle von Schott zu sehen, ausbauen und inbauen, mit der consternation der Operatoren.

03:55:14 Sie hat Warning Combined, eine ziemlich reliable Radar, obwohl es well-known to the Germans war, und so die British und die Canadiens nicht mehr als Kontakt war. Und dann hat sie Warning Surface, eine ziemlich reliable Radar, die ein Destroyer-Size-Target war über 9 km. All das provee ich vital in die Night-Fighting in den Englischen Channel.

03:55:37 Despite the fact that the German surface fleet was virtually non-existent by the end of June 1944, the naval war went on. The more success the Allies achieved in the land operations, the more desperately and fiercely German submarines opposed them at sea.

03:55:54 The time-honored method of dealing with an enemy submarine would be the depth charge, usually mounted on rails at the stern of the ship, or maybe fired off the side with K-guns. The problem was that in order to hit your target, you had to go directly over it, which meant A, that you lost contact, and B, you actually had to be accurate enough to do it. The end replacement of it, however, was the squid mortar. Haida received her squids in the 1950s update. They replaced both the depth charge rails,

03:56:21 und die Aft-Gun. Der Vorteil des Squides war, dass es in der Anlage ist, dass es in der Anlage ist. Es war nicht mehr über die Anlage in der Anlage zu sinken. Sie wurden automatisch durch eine simple elektrische Verbindung von der Sonar-System in der Luft geöffnet. Haida hat eine U-Boot-Kill, der U-971 in 1944, als Haida war die Westen der Englisch-Channel durch die Invasion von France.

03:56:46 Overall, the Royal Canadian Navy developed a reputation for ASW excellence. They sank about 30 U-boats, and in the post-war period they became the de facto ASW force for NATO. During World War II, the number of people in the Canadian Navy grew almost 70 times. And in all those years, Canadian sailors developed their own understanding of naval service, which was slightly different from the traditions of the British Royal Navy.

03:57:19 An interesting event in Canadian naval history happened in 1949 with what are known as the Canadian Mutinies. The word is a little bit strong for what happened, not least because the captain of Athabaskan accidentally on purpose left his cover on top of the written list of demands from the junior sailors, so he never officially saw anything. This happened on a couple of ships about the same time, not Haida it should be noted, and what it really was was more of a...

03:57:45 Sit-down protests pending an airing of grievances. And this came down to something of a cultural difference between North Americans and people from England. Where North American people, we tend to be a little bit more independent, shall we say, we'd like to know why we'd like to have a little bit more consideration, shall we say, from up above, instead of simply being told you're going to do this and, you know, like it or lump it. The officers were more steeped in the tradition of the Royal Navy, the British Navy, which...

03:58:14 Perhaps was a little bit more autocratic. The end result of this, it all worked out fairly well, is that the Canadian Navy developed new policies which took greater concern of the requirements, shall we say, of the junior enlisted sailors.

03:58:30 Some people in the Canadian government believed that this incident was inspired by communist ideas, but this opinion was completely unjustified. Moreover, the destroyer was soon sent to Southeast Asia to fight against the Red Menace. Again, the ship was converted to the way it is now. The armament was all changed, upgraded in 1951. And this is the way the ship was when it went to Korea in 1952. And that's where Haida became famous.

03:58:58 Das war ein Method für die Nordkorea-Train-Buster. Das war ein Method für die Nordkorea-Train-Buster.

03:59:20 In der History of the Trainbusters Club, 25 trains destroyed. Haida ist 2nd in Trainbusting, mit 2 1⁄2. Haida's record has always been superb gunnery actions. In fact, the current Canadian Navy Trophy for gunnery expertise is named after Haida. It's the Haida Trophy for gunnery excellence.

03:59:44 During her second tour of duty in the Yellow Sea in 1954, Haider patrolled Korean shores, supervising the implementation of the ceasefire treaty supported by the United Nations. This was the first example of what we call today a peacekeeping mission, 10 years before this notion was introduced and became widely used. Haider reprised this role during the Suez Crisis of 1956.

04:00:13 The ship retired in October 1963, because again, the life of a warship is basically 20 years. And again, at that time, the Canadian Navy was then expanding. They were building completely different types of ships. And again, the men that were needed on the tribals were needed to man other ships. So the tribals were scrapped. It was that time that an ex-Naval person, Neil Bruce, decided that it would be

04:00:42 und versucht sie zu beschreiben, die Kanada's größte ship zu beschreiben. Und sie waren erfolgreich. Eine Organisation wurde, Hyde Incorporated, und sie hat den Schiff von Crown Assets in 1964 gekauft. Sie hat es für eine große Summe, 20,000 Dollar, und es gab es dort als Museum, National Historic Site.

04:01:11 Wenn Sie ein Canadiens heute erzählen Sie über ihre Landwirte, die mehr als 240,000 Kilometer der Fläche, dann Sie sicherlich hören würden eine lange Geschichte, voll von brillant Begrüßungen und heroischen Namen. Especially Haider, ein Destroyer der Royal Canadian Navy.

04:01:54 2019 war ein Landmark hier für World of Warships. Es gab den ersten Dock-Yard, und die Teck-Tree grew even größer. Italien-Kruisers set sail, und France gott die Kleber-Line. Die Soviet-Teck-Tree expanded mit der Kremlin-Battleship-Line, und wir gaben British-Aerkraft-Carriere.

Entwicklung der US-Marinefliegerei: Von den Anfängen bis zu den ersten Flugzeugträgern

04:02:35

04:02:35 Pensacola's association with naval aviation dates back to 1914 and the creation of the country's first naval air station. And in this episode of Naval Legends, we'll be tracing over the development of the air arm of the U.S. Navy.

04:03:08 In 1910, one of the aviation pioneers, Glenn Curtis, supported by US Navy, prepared an ambitious experiment. It included cruiser USS Birmingham and an aircraft constructed by Curtis and piloted by Eugene Ely, a test pilot. As he strapped himself into his Curtis-Hudson flyer aboard the light cruiser USS Birmingham on 14 November 1910, Eugene Ely, then 24 years of age,

04:03:35 Er hat sich gar nicht gewusst, dass er eine der größten Weapons-Systeme der 20th ist. Nur ein paar Minuten später, er hat sich Geschichte als der erste Mann zu erstellen, dass er ein Flugzeug aus dem Deck von einem Schiff launchert. Two Monate später, in Januar 1911, Kurtis Ely und US Navy haben eine weitere Demonstration in der San-Francisco Bay, wo die Kruiser USS Pennsylvania, mit dem Flugzeug auf dem Flugzeug war, war moored.

04:03:59 Ely flew from the Presidio, which is an Army fort in San Francisco, about 15 miles down the bay, and landed on the flight deck, which had been equipped with about 20 manila ropes with sea bags at the end of the ropes. The airplane had a grappling hook underneath it, and when he touched down on the flight deck, the grappling hook caught five of the wires. He stopped at about 30 feet, and that was the first landing of an aircraft on a ship at sea.

04:04:29 Aircraft specifications for Curtiss Pusher Model D4 Length, almost 8 m Wingspan, more than 10 m Takeoff weight, 590 kg Engine, Curtiss Power, 40 hp Maximum speed, 80 km per hour Crew, one person

04:04:55 Despite the obvious success of Curtis' experiments, the idea of specialized aircraft carrying ships did not come to fruition for a very long time in the USA. The high command of the US Navy treated airplanes as auxiliary equipment of a warship. Admirals believed that aircraft could not become a fully fledged strike force for the fleet. They were restricted to reconnaissance and artillery spotting missions, and they were mostly seaplanes.

04:05:21 World War I spurred the progress of the US Naval Aviation to some extent, but it was aimed mostly at the increase in number of seaplanes. When we entered World War I in April 1917, we had no carriers at this time yet, but we had many, many flying boats. And when the World War I ended in November 1918, we had over 200 twin-engine Curtiss flying boats, flying combat. So the first submarine ever sunk by a…

04:05:48 Das Flugzeug wurde von einem Curtiss H-16 fließt in 1918.

04:05:58 Durant World War I, aircrafts began to change shape and form. Gone were the fragile-looking open trusses with webs of bracing wire. Replacing them came more modern biplanes with continuous skin covering on a fuselage, more powerful engines and more powerful armament. Case in point, this VE-7 Bluebird. VE-7 was to become the US Navy's first carrier-launched fighter. Aircraft specifications for VE-7 Bluebird.

04:06:27 Length, 7.5 m. Wingspan, 10.5 m. Takeoff weight, 879 kg. Engine, Wright Hispano E3. Power, 180 dhp. Maximum speed, 171 km per hour. Service ceiling, 4,500 m. Armament, one or two machine guns, caliber 7.62 mm. Crew, one person.

04:06:55 At the end of World War I, when the British built their first true aircraft carrier with a flight deck stretching from aft to bow, everyone understood that planes would be an integral part of future naval fleets. That's why in 1920, the US Navy refitted its old collier, USS Jupiter, removed a part of its superstructure and constructed a 160 meter long flight deck on her. Renamed USS Langley, the ship was commissioned in 1922.

04:07:22 und wurde der erste Karriere von der US-Navy. Initially, Langley served als eine Experimental-Platform, wo die Basis für die Battle-Application der Deck-Aircraft war, und eine neue Schule von Shipbuilding war. Taking-off war nicht ein Problem. Wir hatten keine Katapulte in die Zeit, die Planeten waren able, auf der Flugdeck aufzunehmen. Aber die Landung war das Problem.

04:07:51 So initially, not only did they have the arresting wires that go across the flight deck, like you see on modern carriers, they also had cables that ran perpendicular with the flight deck, in other words, fore and aft. They had a hook, a tail hook, and you also had what looked like an anchor, or several anchors, little small anchors on a rod between the main wheels, and they hooked into the fore and aft wires. So it was kind of a spiderweb nightmare.

04:08:14 Nach einem Jahr, wir wussten, dass wir nicht die 4.5-Wire brauchen, also wir einfach mit den Cross-Deck-Wires. Und es funktioniert gut.

04:08:26 In the autumn of 1920, the Deputy Commander of the US Air Force, Brigadier General Mitchell, declared that aviation can destroy, disable, and sink any existing warship, as well as any other built-in future. Next year, in the summer, tests were conducted. They showed that aircraft is quite capable of sinking even a battleship by dropping a sufficient number of powerful bombs on it.

04:08:52 The results of these tests led the Navy to the conclusion that their ships needed reinforced anti-aircraft defenses and thicker horizontal armor. Advocates of naval aviation were already imagining squadrons of deck aircraft sinking enemy ships. All they needed was to modernize airplanes and develop a bomb-dropping technique.

04:09:13 In the mid-1920s, Curtis presented to the Navy their design for a land-based fighter, the F6C. It had a powerful engine and had great maneuverability and speed, as befitted Curtis' legacy for making maneuverable sports aircraft and breaking speed records. It even came with an auxiliary fuel tank as an option. The aircraft was famous for being one of the first to try dive bombing as a technique.

04:09:36 Und die Flughafen in der Service war, besonders in der Lexington Kommissioning Ceremonie, als Teil ihrer Airwing.

04:09:45 Aircraft specifications for F6C Hawk Length, almost 7 m Wingspan, 11.5 m Takeoff weight, 1,238 kg Engine, Pratt & Whitney R13403 Wasp Power, 410 hp Maximum speed, 255 km per hour Service ceiling, 7,000 m Armament, two Browning machine guns Calibre, 7.62 mm

04:10:13 Two bombs weighing 52.6 kg. Crew, one person.

04:10:24 Der F-6C hatte das größte Problem, dass es ein Wasserjacket hat. Es war gebaut wie ein Auto, wie ein Auto. Es war ein Inline-Engine. Es ist ein besser-lookinger Flugzeug, aber wenn es ein Wasserjacket hat und ein Wasserjacket hat, wie in deinem Auto, dann wird das Wasser rausgehen, und das Flugzeug wird. Es war nicht so ein Erfolg. Der F-7C hat folgt es war...

04:10:51 They used what they called jugs, separate individual cylinders.

04:11:01 So the advantages to that for the Navy, as opposed to a liquid-cooled engine, was that you eliminated the entire cooling system, which involved a radiator, water lines, some sort of cooling scoop or vent or something for the radiator, and you also eliminated a massive amount of maintenance. After the F-7C in the late 20s, every Navy operational fighter

04:11:28 Reciprocating fighter had a radial engine that operated off a carrier. Everyone associates Boeing with airliners, but Boeing, back in the 20s, was a very big supplier of fighters to the Navy. They had one particular line of fighters, the F-4B fighters, which the last version came out in 1932, the F-4B-4.

04:12:04 Aircraft Specifications for F4B Length 6.2 m Wingspan 9 m Takeoff Weight 1,323 kg Engine Pratt & Whitney R1340E Wasp 550 HP Maximum Speed 301 kmh Service Ceiling 8,400 m Armament 2 Browning Machine Guns Caliber

04:12:32 7.62 mm. In the bomber variant, the aircraft could carry up to 227 kg of bombs. 1 person.

04:12:53 Especially in the 20s, when aviation advancements were happening at a very high rate, aerodynamics, engines, airframes, there was a lot of competition amongst the manufacturers because people were making better airplanes every year. So someone would turn out a very good fighter, a year later somebody would turn out an even better fighter.

Entwicklung der Flugzeugträgertechnik in den 1930er Jahren

04:13:23

04:13:23 In the early 1930s, the Bureau of Aeronautics, the organization responsible for the development and acquisition of naval aircraft and its associated materiel, allegedly asked Grumman to design a retractable gear system for the Boeing F4B4. Well, Grumman's engineers had patented their design and were in decline to share it with somebody else. Besides, they said, you couldn't actually fit a retractable system to the Boeing aircraft.

04:13:50 Only a month later, however, they developed and presented to the Navy a new two-seat fighter aircraft. Coincidentally, the Navy had only recently issued a requirement for a new series of fighter aircraft. The Grumman FF-1, known as the Goblin, met all these requirements. The FF-1 was revolutionary. A Duraliman skin, enclosed cockpit, and, of course, retractable gear. In 1933, 25 of these aircraft formed the Air Group

04:14:19 für den Carrier Lexington.

04:14:43 Service ceiling, 6,700 m. Armament, three Browning machine guns, caliber 7.62 mm. Two bombs weighing 52.6 kg. Crew, two persons.

04:15:02 Das ist der einzige in der Welt, das wir haben. Wir haben es in einem Schraubladen, in Nicaragua. As a matter of fact, ein Navy pilot founds es da. Es gab es da. Es gab es da. Es gab es da. Es gab es da. Es gab es da. Und er hat die Grumman gesagt. Und sie sagten, wir werden gleich nach unten. Echt Jahre später, sie kamen hier zu dem Museum. Sie kamen es in den Museum. Das ist eine der wenigen, die sich in den Museum fließt. Die meisten dieser Airpläne kommen in pieces und wir sammeln zusammen hier.

04:15:29 The Great Depression of 1929 ruined many enterprises and almost destroyed the Curtiss Company, which had been supplying the Army and the Navy with cutting-edge aircraft throughout the course of the 1920s. However, Curtiss survived and in 1933 followed Grumman in constructing an airplane with retractable chassis and duralumin skin. The Navy planned to put the new Curtiss aircraft into service aboard a freshly built carrier that was launched the same year. However,

04:15:58 Its fighter wing had been already completed and the command decided to repurpose the new Curtiss plane as a bomber with the BF2C1 designation. Curtiss' engineers networked their design according to its new specialization and installed additional gear for bomb suspension. It was one of the early dive bombers again. They started trying to dive bomb by just putting a bomb on the fuselage. A bomb has better aerodynamics than an airplane.

04:16:24 So the bomb would accelerate when you first, you're going into 60, 70, 80 degrees nose down. The bomb would accelerate and go into the propeller. And what they did was they had this trapeze-like outfit undercarriage that would swing out and allow the bomb to clear the propeller.

04:17:03 In the 1930s, the biplane began to give way to the monoplane, and the US Navy did not feel like being left behind in these advancements. It was at this point that Grumman presented to the Navy their new fighter design for a monoplane, the F4F3. Now, the Navy already had the Buffalo, but the Grumman design intrigued them. Firstly, it was very fast. The prototype in trials hit a speed of 287 knots. It was highly maneuverable. It had a powerful armament of four caliber .50 Browning machine guns.

04:17:33 Und wenn der Pilot hoch ist, der Nose hatte eine 8-degere downward-slope, das bedeutet, dass der Pilot dann konzentrieren konnte mit dem F-4-F-3-Target, sogar an höhere Anklungen der Lead. Nach ein paar Modifikationen zu dem Prototypen, der Navy wurde es in der Serie zu produzieren.

04:18:02 Length, almost 9 m. Wingspan, 11.5 m. Take-off weight, 3,367 kg. Engine, Pratt & Whitney R-183076. Power, 1,200 hp. Maximum speed, 533 km per hour. Service ceiling, 9,950 m. Armament, four Browning machine guns, calibre 12.7 mm.

04:18:30 The aircraft could carry two 50-kilogram bombs. Crew, one person.

04:18:41 The design was so successful that both the British and French became interested in the aircraft. As a result, the Wildcat was put into service by the Royal Navy earlier than in the US Navy. Now, one of the rather sort of obsolete features of the Wildcat was it did have retracting landing gear. That was the good news, but the bad news was the pilot had to crank the gear up by hand. So when you launched off the carrier,

04:19:08 Spendte die erste Minute, Airborne, cranking die LANDing-Gear-up. So you couldn't form up or do much of anything but get the gear up. So that was a little hard to deal with. But of course the advantage to that was there was no hydraulics system to shoot out. So by cranking the gear up, you eliminated the system.

Wachstum der US-Marinefliegerei und Entwicklung des Wildcat

04:19:30

04:19:30 By the end of the 1930s, the US deck aviation had grown quite big muscles. The Navy had seven aircraft carriers in active service, and several more were being constructed. Airplane designers supplied the American fleet with the updated modern aircraft almost every year. In the 1920s and 30s, the US Navy carried out a number of exercises which demonstrated an enormous potential of strike air groups.

04:19:55 In 1938, squadrons from the carrier USS Saratoga conducted a successful training attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor. But considering that the American fleet was stationed in California at that time, the results of this operation didn't draw too much attention. Nothing interesting, just another exercise.

04:21:03 My favorite event of the year is my Country Independence Day, when we go to farm the Chilean flag to customize our ships. A hail to the WoWs community. Thank you for being so inclusive to the international community and my country. Hope it will come back. To you WoWs team, keep doing the great work, making those high octane games that we all know and love possible. I'm here to wish you a Feliz Cumpleaños and many more to come. Thank you.

Die Rolle der Flugzeugträger im Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Entwicklung neuer Flugzeugtypen

04:21:32

04:21:32 That year, Naval Legends also connected players with the real history of aircraft carrier warfare. The episode on US Naval Aviation told the story of how aircraft carriers reshaped the seas in WW2 and beyond. It showed how planes launched from the decks of American aircraft carriers could strike far and wide, changing the way naval battles were fought. For players, it was a chance to see the real history behind the aircraft carriers they were commanding in the game.

04:21:57 Und es hat auch als eine Erinnerung für World of Warships' tiefen und tiefe mit der Autentik-Naval-Heritage.

04:22:28 Together with the line warships of the Pacific Fleet, the flames of Pearl Harbor burnt down the very doctrine of absolute domination of heavy artillery ships in naval war. In an instant, all books on the art of naval warfare became obsolete, and there was no time to write new ones. The enemy had to be repelled, and they had to be struck with their own weapon. On December 7th, the Navy had three carriers in the Pacific Ocean. We only had three carriers there. We only had a total of seven carriers.

04:23:16 Japan had 14 Carriers. So the first thing we needed was more Carriers. But the problem with that is that it takes two years to build a Carrier.

04:23:32 The second problem was that the main fighter aircraft of the US Navy, the F4F Wildcat, was inferior to the Japanese Zero in all respects. The Mitsubishi A6M Zeke, commonly known as the Zero. This was arguably the premier fighter in the Pacific Theater until about 1943. It had a number of advantages. Firstly, it's lightweight. It had an aluminium-magnesium alloy frame, and this meant it was highly maneuverable.

04:23:59 Hat excellent firepower. Hat both cannon and machine gun. Hat excellent vision from its high mounted canopy. The only drawback was it was a tad fragile. But first you had to hit it.

04:24:13 Zero was much faster. It could out-climb, out-dive, and out-turn a Wildcat. How did we use this old airplane and manage to make it work so well? The first thing I already mentioned, it was very, very rugged, very difficult to shoot down. The fuel tank had a self-sealing bladder in it, so when a bullet went through it, it sealed itself up. You didn't lose your gas, which was important when you're 100 miles, 150 kilometers from your carrier.

04:24:38 Der Pilot satt in einem Armored tub, basically, wie ein bathtub. Er hatte steel plateen all around ihn. Also, der plane war sehr survivable. The other thing you had to do, if you're a Wildcat Pilot, you had to do formation flying. You had to be with another Wildcat to protect each other. So, if one Wildcat got jumped, he could maneuver and try to pull the Zero in front of the other Wildcat.

04:25:08 Three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, American Carrier Aviation achieved its first victory. The author of this victory flew the SPD Dauntless.

04:25:25 Dauntless war für die erste Kille von US-Navalenten, an einem Combatant. Der Dauntless war von Lieutenant Dickinson, die für die Enterprise Airgruppe war, und er hat überlebt, auf Pearl Harbor zu verabschieden, mit dem Verlust von seinem Rear-Seater zu verabschieden. Auf Dezember 10, es sited die Japanese Submarine I-70, und hat er und sank er.

04:25:56 Features of the aircraft related to the wing include the very large and visible dive brakes required for its role. Less visible is the fact that the wing has no internal spars. This makes it lighter, but a significant drawback is the fact that you cannot fold this aircraft's wing. Despite this, Dauntless entered service with the US Navy's fleet. Aircraft specifications for the SBD Dauntless. Length 10 m.

04:26:24 Wingspan 12.6m Maximum takeoff weight 4587kg Engine R182032 Power 950hp Maximum speed 405kmh Service ceiling 7680m Armament

04:26:47 Two 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns and two 7.62 mm machine guns in rear. Bomb payload, 725 kg. Crew, two persons. So the Dauntless was designed expressly for one thing and one thing only, and that was sinking ships. And it was very good at what it did.

04:27:17 The Battle of Midway was probably the definitive battle where everyone knew that air power was going to be the only way you were going to win the Pacific. So at the Battle of Midway, which we're probably all familiar with, three U.S. Navy carriers, the Enterprise, the Yorktown, and the Hornet, up against four Japanese carriers. The Japanese had a huge force with them, including several large battleships. They had over 100 fighting ships, and then they had an invasion force.

04:27:45 The Navy had three carriers and about 20 other ships, not one battleship, because they'd all been damaged or sunk at Pearl Harbor.

04:27:58 Early in the morning of June 4, about 45 Dauntlesses attacked the Japanese Task Force. The lightning-fast strike of the American dive bombers ended in a sweeping victory. In just a few hours, the Dauntlesses destroyed almost half the carriers of the Japanese Imperial Navy, thus turning the tide of the Pacific War. This battle was also notable, because it was here that the Avenger torpedo bomber made its debut.

04:28:22 Grumman Avenger war der größten Aircraft, die wir aus den Karrieren hatten, in der Weltwartei war. Es gab den Douglas Devastator Torpedobomber, die in 1941 war obsoletete.

04:28:39 Aircraft specifications for the TBM Avenger Length 12.5 m Wingspan 16.5 m Takeoff weight 7,876 kg Engine Right R26008 Power 1,700 hp Maximum speed 415 kmh Service ceiling 7,193 m Armament

04:29:07 Three 12.7 mm machine guns and one 7.62 mm machine gun under the fuselage. Eight 127 mm HVAR rockets. The aircraft could carry up to 907 kg of bombs or one Mark 13 torpedo. Crew, three persons.

04:29:30 Early on, they could do torpedo runs, or they could be used as a dive bomber. So if you were attacking an airfield, the Avengers could be dive bombers. They could come back to the carrier, and if somebody saw Japanese ships resighted, they could load them with torpedoes and go out on a torpedo run.

04:29:50 By the end of 1942, the Avengers had distinguished themselves by sinking Japanese carrier Ryujo, during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, and battleship Hiei in the first battles for Guadalcanal. However, the finest hour of these torpedo bombers was yet to come, when in 1942, the Avengers joined the Dauntlesses and Wildcats, which had borne the weight of the initial phase of the air war against Japan. Meanwhile, US industry prepared replacements for the battle-battered aircraft fleet.

Die Entwicklung von Hellcat, Corsair und Bearcat im Zweiten Weltkrieg

04:30:37

04:30:37 Der F-6F Hellcat war der Ace-Maker, der wahrscheinlich die größte Karrier-Borne Aircraft von World War II, war verantwortlich für etwa 75% der Navy's kills. 12,274 wurden von Grumman gebaut, 1 an hour, every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Es war einfach, es war reliable, es war rugged. Es war 5,157 enemy kills für nur 270.

04:31:05 Another nickname it earned was the Aluminum Tank. And it earned for the manufacturer the moniker Grumman Iron Works. Indeed, some pilots spoke of returning home with battle damage so significant that more air was passing through the aircraft than around it. Aircraft specifications for F6F Hellcat. Length, more than 10 meters. Wingspan, 13 meters. Takeoff weight, 6,754 kilograms. Engine.

04:31:33 Pratt & Whitney R2800-10W Double Wasp Power 2135 HP Maximum Speed 629 kmh Service Ceiling 11278 m Armament 6 12.7 mm Colt Browning M2 Machine Guns 6 127 mm HVAR Rockets Bomb Payload up to 907 kg

04:32:01 Crew, one person. When it was all said and done at the end of the war, the Hellcat had a 19 to 1 kill ratio, which meant for every Hellcat shot down air to air, Hellcat shot down 19 Japanese aircraft, which at that point in the war, many of them were fighters. In 1943, the US Pacific Fleet began to put heavy strike aircraft carriers from the Essex class into service, each of which could carry up to 100 planes on board.

04:32:32 Die Krieg hat eine Phase, in der die Zukunft der Kampf-Operations-Such war definiert. Es war eine große, große Vorteile, die wir hatten, die die Japaner nicht hatten. Sie hatten nicht mehr die Möglichkeit, die uns in der Produktion zu matchen. Also, in der Mitte 1944, überall wir waren, hatten wir eine große Herausforderung, um zu backen, was passiert.

04:33:13 In 1943, Grumman, der Hauptmanufaktur für die US-Navy, hatte zu machen für eine andere Firma. New aircraft carriers boasted 4FU Corsairs, produziert von Vort, auf der Flugdecks. However, diese Maschine hat nicht als Kompetitor für Grumman's Hellcats. Die Corsair hat andere Werteilung. Corsair's introduction in die Service hat einige snags für Carrier Qualifikation. Es gab einige sehr nasty Low-Speed-Stall-Charakteristische, die Landinggear war nicht so gut,

04:33:40 Und es hat auch so eine Powerful-Engine, dass die Torque die Rollen und die Yaw durch die P-Faktor war. Und dann, die Long Nose war, dass auf der Final Approche, man konnte nicht sehen, was die Carrier zu landen. Doch die Lösung für das war eine Long Curve, die auf die Angelegenheit war. As a resultatzt, Corsair war ein Land-Based Aircraft mit den Marien in den Early 1943.

04:34:03 Aircraft specifications for the F4U Corsair. Length, more than 10 m. Wingspan, 12.5 m. Takeoff weight, 6,654 kg. Engine, Pratt & Whitney R280018W. Power, 2,380 HP. Maximum speed, 718 km per hour. Service ceiling, 12,802 m.

04:34:31 Armament 6 12.7 mm Colt Browning M2 machineguns 8 127 mm HVAR rockets Bomb payload up to 907 kg Crew 1 Person

04:35:02 The Marines used it heavily. It was more of a Marine aircraft in World War II. The Navy primarily flew the Hellcat. Corsair first flew in 1940. It was extremely advanced for its day. It was the first U.S. Navy fighter that could go 400 miles an hour straight and level.

04:35:21 Es hat eine sehr lustige Wings-Wing-Arrangement. Es hat eine Gull-Wing. Und der Grund für das ist, dass es die Größe der Propeller ist. Wenn man ein Wings-Wing hat, würde es so lange sein, dass man eine große Wings-Wing hat, um die Wings-Wing zu holen. So die VOTE-Engineers kamen mit das sehr ungewöhnliche Design.

04:36:00 In 1943, aufgrund der Krieg weitergehen wird, ein weiterer Zeitpunkt zu entwickeln, ein F6F-Hellcat zu entwickeln. Das Ergebnis war die F8F-Hellcat mit dem F8F-Hellcat. Das ist die F8F-Bearcat.

04:36:16 An interesting design feature at the time was the addition of exploding wingtips. The idea was that if the maneuvers were so hard that there was risk of a complete structural failure of the wing, the outer meter or so of each wing would detach. Never really worked in practice, though. Either one tip would detach and not the other, or just simply at different times. The solution was to add explosive charges.

04:36:42 However, it never worked according to plan, and indeed an accident with an explosion killed a Navy technician. So production aircraft soon had that idea removed. Aircraft specifications for the F-8F Bearcat. Length, almost 8.5 meters. Wingspan, almost 11 meters. Takeoff weight, 6,105 kilograms. Engine, Pratt & Whitney R-280030W. Double WASP. Power?

04:37:11 2,250 HP Maximum Speed 737 kmh Service Ceiling 11,247 m Armament 4 20 mm Cannon 4 127 mm HVAR Rockets Bomb Payload 1,700 kg Crew 1 Person

04:37:38 By the time the F-8F Bearcat was mass-produced, the Hellcats and Corsairs were already dominating the skies over the Pacific Ocean, while the Helldivers and Avengers were finishing off the remnants of the Japanese Navy. In October 1944, the Americans sank 27 Japanese ships in the Leyte Gulf.

04:37:56 including four aircraft carriers and three battleships. The following year, in April, 227 planes from nine American carriers destroyed the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the mighty Yamato. When US troops began landing at Okinawa, aircraft carrier USS Midway was launched back home in the USA. She would become a symbol of the American Navy's power for many years to come.

04:38:28 In the early 1940s, Bureau of Aeronautics learned about the developments of jet engine technology in England and Germany, and asked Westinghouse and Alice Chalmers to make American versions. The initial responses, though, were not positive. These early jets had low power at low speed, they were unreliable, and they had high fuel consumption. Add to that the requirements for swept wings, which seemed necessary for maneuverability, and it became unsuitable for carrier use.

04:38:58 Nach dem Krieg, mit der Entwicklung von der Sowjetunion und der Jettprogramme der Sowjetunion und der Jettbewerbe, wurde es klar, dass die Navy nicht mehr die Technologie konnte. In 1947, die FH-1 Phantom kam in der Luftwärmung. Und damit begann die Jahre der Jettbewerbe. Hey, Happy Birthday World of Warships! Hallo everybody, ich bin Crosswax, ich bin ein French-Streamer und ein French-Community-Contributor für World of Warships seit 2019.

04:39:41 Just a quick video to wish a happy birthday to World Warships. Ten years ago, Wars was born, leaving an incredible mark in the free-to-play gaming world, and if I recall correctly, there were only two branches at the time, and a lot of content has been released since then. So just a quick video to thank all the Wargaming staff, the moderators, the developers, of course, the product team, everybody, and of course all the CC staff, and my fellow CCs, and of course...

04:40:10 Thanks a lot to the great community. The best community we've ever had as streamers, basically. So yeah, I'm really looking forward to the content coming in the future and I hope you are too. Cheers. And if you're French, please drop by. Cheers. Bye.

04:40:28 Fleets grew with new ships from many nations, including powerful battleships, cruisers and destroyers. Several of these vessels carry real historical legacies, giving players the chance to command ships that once sailed in the real world. Each edition helped expand the game's roster and brought history a little closer to the battles at sea.

04:40:48 They were designed to be the best. They met enemies face to face, endured tragedies and enjoyed victories. They went down in history due to the bravery of their crews. They are the ships that deserve to be called Naval Legends. In this episode, watch Yamato, life and death of a legendary battleship.

Das Schicksal der Yamato und die Entwicklung der Marine nach dem Krieg

04:41:38

04:41:38 By spring 1945, it became clear that only a miracle could save Japan from defeat in World War II. The land of the rising sun had lost virtually all its naval and air forces, and US troops were already landing on the Japanese islands. On the morning of April 6, Japan's legendary battleship Yamato sailed off to fight her last battle.

04:42:10 The last bit of hope the Japanese possess rested with this steel giant, the largest and most powerful battleship of the time. That naval operation in the Pacific, dubbed Tenichi Go, Heaven Won, was a dangerous mission, but the faith in Yamato was almost religious, and the Japanese believed luck would go hand in hand with the ship.

04:42:58 The history of battleship Yamato began 10 years before the ship's legendary last mission. In October 1935, Japanese engineers put together a first draft of the famous naval giant. Unlike the Americans, whose ships were limited to a size that could pass through the Panama Canal, nothing restricted the Japanese from building ships of a large size in displacement and arming them as heavily as possible. Japanese designers

04:43:25 set out to make battleships powerful enough to outmatch all existing foreign counterparts, and any ships that would be built in the upcoming years.

04:43:37 The production facilities behind me were the Ku-Re naval arsenal in those days. Its dockyard saw the birth of battleship Yamato. Her keel was laid in 1937 and the ship was completed 1941. Yamato was the heaviest battleship in the world. Back then, the total construction expenses amounted to 130 million yen. That would be over 1 trillion yen, 8 billion dollars in today's prices.

04:44:04 Initially, Japan planned to build a total of four Yamato-class ships. However, the Pacific War began, and after completing the second ship Musashi, Japan stopped building the third ship Shinano, and never started the fourth one. Eventually, Shinano was converted to an aircraft carrier.

04:44:35 Yamato ist der Name für Japan, meaning Great Harmony. Strict secrecy war gehalten während der Konstruktion. Ein High Fence von mats surrounded die Dock-Yard. All Engineers sprach ein Solemn Oath von Nondisclosure. Und die Workers in und aus waren compared mit ihren Fotos. Die Japanese Shipbuilders haben sicherlich etwas zu behalten.

04:45:02 Total Displacement 72,808 tons 263 m 38.9 m Over 10 m Armament Main Battery Three turrets, each having 40 SK Mod 94 guns

04:45:26 460 mm Secondary Battery Two turrets, each having three Type I guns 155 mm Anti-Aircraft Artillery 12 Kochs Isle Type 89 guns 127 mm 50 Triple Barrel and Two Single Barrel Type 96 Automatic Cannons 25 mm

04:45:57 Airgroup, 7 seaplanes, reconnaissance planes, and spotting aircraft. Armour, main belt 270-410 mm, main turrets 190-650 mm, conning tower 300-500 mm.

04:46:19 Powerplan, 4 Campon turbines and 12 Campon RO boilers. Power, 154,000 shaft horsepower. Maximum speed over 27 knots. Operational range, 7,200 nautical miles at 16 knots.

04:46:53 Yamada's key features are her main turrets, each having three 460 mm guns. The guns could fire shells weighing almost 1.5 tons, with a muzzle speed of 790 meters per second. A gun turret, including the barbette, weighed 3,000 tons. It could contain over 150 men.

04:47:24 Yamato's main turrets were guided by a fire control system consisting of a director that provided parameters of fire, rangefinders, and electromechanical calculators, a form of early computers. It was a state-of-the-art system for the time. Lack of fire control radars for engaging surface targets was compensated for by top-notch grouping of salvos. This gave the Japanese firing capability on par with that of the world's leading navies.

04:47:52 The ship's secondary battery consisted of two turrets, each having three 155 mm guns. The guns featured excellent ballistic characteristics and could penetrate the armor of a typical cruiser. However, their rate of fire was pretty low.

04:48:10 When commissioned, Yamato had six coaxial 127mm anti-aircraft guns for long-range engagement, plus short-range anti-aircraft artillery consisted of eight triple-barrel 25mm cannons. The number of the AA guns was constantly built up during the war.

04:48:31 The 127mm anti-aircraft guns and the 25mm guns had different ranges of fire. So if an enemy aircraft flew into this gap, neither of the guns was able to effectively intercept it. Furthermore, the 127mm guns had relatively low traverse speed.

04:48:49 and poor elevation and depression characteristics. They also failed to fire at the declared rate of 14 rounds per minute if the elevation was high or low.

04:49:10 Yamato enjoyed the heaviest armor in shipbuilding history. Its US analogue, Battleship Iowa, had armor that was on average 100 mm thinner. The armor belt of the Japanese giant formed a citadel that covered slightly over half of her waterline length. The most protected part was the ship's conning tower. The weapon systems became literally giant.

04:49:37 The Japanese built a super battleship that was like 10 or 15 others put together. But the problem was that it did not pay off. You can build one Yamato-class battleship, but she would still be destroyed when facing 2, 3 or 10 US battleships. There are still such characteristics as mobility, quantity, quality, salvos per side.

04:50:13 Yamato war in der Mitte 1941. In ihrer ersten Mission, der Battle of Midway, Yamato served als die Flagship der Japanese Combined Fleet. During der Battle, auf June 4-6, 1942, Yamato nicht nur ein Schuss, und war nur als H-Q-Ship.

04:50:36 The Japanese military command was definitely saving their two best battleships for an upcoming major battle against the US fleet. As a result, Japanese seamen started to feel disappointed with their flagship. They even made up a saying that the world's three most useless things were China's Great Wall, the Egyptian pyramids, and the battleship Yamato. It was not until autumn 1944 that the Japanese naval giant fought its first field battle.

04:51:09 Together with her sister ship Musashi, Yamato attacked US landing craft near the island of Leyte. In that battle, Yamato was only slightly damaged, demonstrated her power, and recovered the status of an unsinkable giant. However, the situation in the Pacific Theater had changed by that time.

04:51:42 Progress in military technology basically follows the laws of philosophy. When making a new weapon system, designers in the military usually seek to enhance its specifications, bigger caliber, thicker armor, etc.

04:51:55 Dann kommen sie zu einem dead-end, wo sie nicht mehr entwickeln die Navy, sondern verbessern eine separate Weapon-Type unter den Existenz-Limiten. A radical change ist Carrier-Born Aviation, und später Missile Systems. Aber Yamato ist die Peak, die Peak in der constructionen von Battleships. Es ist nicht über Prozess, es ist über den Peak zu erreichen. In 1945, World War II reached Japan's Home Islands.

04:52:24 The command of the Japanese Combined Fleet made a Bushido-style decision. Yamato, with the help of a light cruiser and eight destroyers, was to defend the island of Okinawa and prevent the US troops from getting any further inland, or fight to the end and finish her journey gloriously. Executing this order on April 6, 1945, the legendary Japanese battleship sailed off to fight her last battle.

04:52:55 The United States sent in its Task Force 58 to intercept the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet. The Americans would not miss the chance to destroy the symbol of Japan's naval power. As early as 10 a.m., the first U.S. squadrons took off from five heavy and four light aircraft carriers, located about 300 miles away from Yamato.

04:53:24 A total of 227 aircraft took part in the destruction of the Japanese force. The battle began at 1234. Four aerial bombs hit Yamato, taking out a 127mm gun and several automatic cannons. In just 20 minutes, two more bombs struck the battleship and a torpedo hit her port side. In response, Yamato fired her anti-aircraft weapons.

04:53:57 At 14.02, the Americans launched the last attack on the wounded, but still combat-capable Yamato. It was a demonstrative execution. Four torpedoes, three to the port side and one to the starboard side, destroyed the ship's damaged control center. Yamato stopped moving and started listing to port more and more every minute. And when this huge ship capsized, a monstrous explosion erupted.

04:54:32 The pride and hope of the Japanese fleet went under. Together with the ship, 3,000 crew members were lost, including the commanders of the Japanese force and the ship.

04:55:03 Für die Japaner, Yamato ist noch ein Symbol der Nation der Macht, der in der Krieg ist wie ein wahrer Samurai. Die Stadt, wo der legendäre Battleship war gebaut wurde, hat ein Museum gegründet, whose Centerpiece ist der 26 Meter Modell von Yamato.

04:55:23 The Kure Municipal Museum of Naval History and Science was built 10 years ago to preserve the rich naval history of the city. Now it is known as the Amato Museum. The exhibits reflect the naval history of Kure. In other words, the history of naval affairs and technologies. The museum has become quite popular. Fans of battleships come here from all over the country. However, we should remember that it was originally dedicated to all kinds of shipbuilding.

04:55:53 The violent explosion that finished the destruction of Yamato was caused by the detonation of her main battery magazines. However, there is plenty of debate about the reason for that tremendous explosion. The answer is probably hidden on the bottom of the ocean. So far, researchers have been unable to lift what is left from the giant battleship.

04:56:27 It is true that Yamato had a number of drawbacks. Like her sister ship Musashi, the battleship was sunk as a result of airstrikes. The key reason for that was the ship's fundamental lack of ability to resist massive air attacks. Yamato remains the largest and most powerful battleship in history.

04:56:58 Für jede Person, die Interesse in der Geschichte der Militär-Sitzung hat, Yamato embossiert die Militär-Mite. Wollt ihr zu fernieren und zu fernieren, diese Formidable-Steel-Giante hat sie gewohnt, selbst als sie verletzt wurde. Sie hat eine Pinnacke in großartige Battleship-Design, eine, die wahrscheinlich niemals überrascht werden. Und in diesem Sinne, Yamato wird immer ein Symbol und ein Legend sein.

04:57:46 Können Sie sagen, Sie sind 25 Jahre alt? 25 Jahre alt, Sie arbeiten? Sie sind in der Vergangenheit C.C. Ah, Sie sind in der Vergangenheit C.C. Jahre alt? 2018 Jahre alt? Sie sind ungefähr 7 Jahre alt. Ich glaube, Sie haben sehr lange das Spiel gefallen. Ich habe das nicht wirklich gefallen, seit 2015 bis jetzt.

04:58:09 Das ist die ganze Zeit, das ist die ganze Zeit. Das ist die ganze Zeit.

04:58:37 Für die Erhöhung ist es wichtig, dass die Erhöhung von TNN-JJ-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J-J.

04:58:58 and Thunderer, represented from a completely different perspective and as historical Watif designs reconstructed from blueprints. Vessels that have become some of the community's most beloved ships.

04:59:22 Aber jetzt haben sie eine neue Lease von Leben bekommen. Wir re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re

Die Geschichte und Entwicklung der HMS Thunderer

04:59:45

04:59:45 Thundera ist eine der ungewöhnlichen Spiele in der Welt der Warschips. Die Geschichte begann in 1920, wenn die Britsch Admiralty bekommen hat eine Battleship-Designation von Project L-2, die in der Falle genommen wurden, die in der Falle von Jutland-Battlesen wurden.

05:00:01 It was planned to outfit her four main battery turrets with eight 457 mm Armstrong guns, the design of which was found by our specialists in the British Archives. To keep this aspect of her design secret, the indicated caliber of the guns was intentionally lower than the actual one, a fact that we only discovered in the process of studying her blueprints. As part of Project L2, the gun prototype went through the stages of engineering design, production, and test firing, but due to the provisions of the Washington

05:00:30 und der Niederlande Treaty, das Projekt war abandoned. Die British shipbuilders revisited ihre größte Artillerie-Systems später, wenn es entschieden wurde, auf der Basis von Battleship Lion, das wäre superior zu deutschen Battleships Bismarck, Tirpitz und der future H-Class. However, die Kriegung der Krieg verletzten sie zu ändern. Aber die Kriegung war nicht für gut. Based auf die theoretischen Evaluations und Blueprints von British Battleships, specialists von Wargaming's St. Petersburg Studio,

05:00:59 und eine Battleship mit dem Namen Thundera. Thundera's hull inherits die features common to her Tier IX predecessor, Battleship Lion. Additionally, she enjoys a reinforced 406 mm Armour Belt und better-protected Main Battery Turrets. Speaking of Artillery, in World of Warships, HMS Thundera has the aforementioned 457 mm Main Battery Guns, as well as 133 mm Dual Purpose Guns und Enhanced AA Defenses. In addition to those features,

05:01:29 she's characterized by good concealment and decent maneuverability. In mid-September 2019, Battleship Thunderer set sail on the seas of World of Warships.

Erweiterungen und neue Spielmodi in World of Warships im Jahr 2020

05:01:43

05:01:43 There's so much to say about 2020, a year of remarkable expansion for World of Warships. It saw the arrival of the Vermont Battleship Line, famous Holland Destroyer Line, Petropavlov's Cruiser Line, British Goliath's Cruiser Line, and Manfred von Richthofen Erkof's Carrier Line. Players had a chance to test submarines for the first time, and submarine battles were introduced the same year.

05:03:43 Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday World of Warships. Happy Birthday to you. Wow, zehn unglaubliche Jahre World of Warships. Seit neun Jahren bin ich übrigens auch schon mit dabei. Wer hätte gedacht, dass sich so eine große Liebe zu einem Spiel entwickelt, was ich auf der Gamescom nur mal kurz antesten wollte, um zu sehen, was mein Mann da eigentlich die ganze Zeit spielt.

05:04:10 Seit Oktober 2019 bin ich jetzt Community-Kontributorin und als Main-DD werfe ich ganz gerne mal Torpedos. One is okay, haben sie gesagt. Mein Lieblingsevent ist übrigens King of the Sea, weil ich da mal in die Kommentatorenrolle schlüpfen und den Profis über die Schulter schauen kann.

05:04:26 And now I just want to say a huge congratulations to the entire Wargaming team on the 10th anniversary of World of Warships. It's been an incredible journey and I'm so excited to see what the future holds. Here's too many more years of epic battles and amazing moments. 2020 also introduced two new temporary battle types. Asymmetric Battles pitted a small team of high-tier ships against a much larger fleet.

05:04:55 Then came Key Battles, futuristic fights on the massive Polygon map, where 16 players clashed with each other and AI-controlled monsters, commanding special ships from three Ryo corporations. Both battle types showed how World of Warships could step outside tradition and deliver fresh, memorable experiences. We need volunteers who are ready to stand at the helms of the most powerful ships in the galaxy. We begin a new game event. Big Hunt, the key to victory.

05:05:29 Expect unique ships, terrifying monsters and the best commanders.

05:06:05 Greetings, mein Freund. Ich sehe, dass Sie nur hier für die Rewards sind, wie ich bin. Das ist gut. Battle Points. Hunderts. Hunderts. Hunderts. Hahahaha. Gale wurde sozusagen gebaut, um uns zu machen, um uns richer zu machen. Die Genie der Panameter-Genergie machten ein Traum in Warschip.

05:06:27 The ship of our dreams, fast and maneuverable. You can fire lasers, plasma guns, and my personal favorite, flying torpedoes. Gale and I are waiting for you.

05:06:50 Silence. I see the future. I see a battle. My Heracles. With you at the helm. Enemies falling. Struck down by our lasers and wavecasters. I see us going through the portal. Battle points. Everything is ours. We will make these visions become reality. You must select the ship provided by the Phobos Corporation.

05:07:30 Let's take a closer look at what you're up against, the most bloodthirsty monsters from the furthest corners of the known universe. Our first specimen, Thornridge, is an ancient creature that usually lurks in the oceans of planets in the Yamator constellation. Its Fang's shellic array can secrete acid and biomass blobs that are similar to torpedoes. Avoid Thornridge's attacks if you don't want to be flooded.

05:08:02 Another beast that's going to test the durability of your ship is Fangblade. Its strength lies in its weaponized acid. I tell you this, forget all the space horror movies that you watched back on Earth. Fangblade is far scarier, and its acid doesn't only damage ships, it also slowly dissolves them. Finally, the most terrifying monster, Lobsteride.

05:08:39 This Behemoth is the most dangerous predator in the galaxy. It resides on planets with extremely low or high temperatures that also lack any trace of oxygen. Lobsteride can survive everywhere. Killing it is almost impossible. Moreover, this giant, just like Fangblade, attacks everything it sees with caustic acid. Now for the rules of our big hunt. 16 ships. Free for all.

05:09:19 You must first clean out the monsters from the surrounding area. Killing monsters will earn you battle points. The more points you earn, the more powerful your ship will become, provided that you select the optimal improvements. There are many to choose from. If you encounter another ship, go ahead and sink it to get their points, or invite them to join forces with you in battle. It's easier and more fun to kill monsters together.

05:09:49 Remember, though, that your allies might betray you at any moment. And you can also betray them, by the way. It's not some noble fencing match after all. Keep in mind that you need to keep pushing towards the center of the map. The exit from the polygon, the portal, is situated there. You can open it with one of the four keys that are hidden inside four lobster rides. Once you grab a key, don't waste a moment. You'll become a target for everyone, even for your recent allies.

05:10:20 Wenn du durch die Portal mit einem Key auswählstst, wirst du all die Battle Points gewonnen haben, und du kannst sie in der Armoury spenden. Die, die nicht auswählst, durch die Portal, werden in der Octagon transportiert werden, der Ort der Battle Royale, in der nur eine gewisse Erwartung wird. Dieser lucky Captain wird auch den Rewarden bekommen. Nicht vergessen, dass du dein Hard-Earned XP in der Portal spendst. Du kannst du aufwählst, aufwählst, aufwählst, aufwählst, aufwählst, aufwählst.

05:10:57 Auxiliary Armaments, Hull Parameters, and of course, her unique abilities. Combine improvements and try different variants to create your ideal weapon. The big hunt begins. Select one of the new ships, gather resources, defeat monsters, and remember, only the strongest will obtain the keys.

Georgios Averof: Ein historischer griechischer Panzerkreuzer

05:11:52

05:11:52 Aristoteles once said that he who commands the sea has command of everything, and the Greeks have had a long naval tradition since those days, which brings us to Georgos Averrof, the last built and last surviving of the armored cruisers. The Greeks, she's not just a monument of steel and engineering, she's a national treasure. And the Hellenic Navy Jack and the Admiral's Flag indicate that this is still a warship in commissioned service. As a result, any passing Hellenic Navy ships

05:12:20 are required to render honors. Welcome to Athens.

05:13:00 Wir haben aber eine große Anerkennung.

05:13:27 But we had a great advantage. We had a benefactor, Jurgos Avorov. According to his will, he had left a large sum of money for that time to the country. 8 million gold drachmas. The money was used to purchase the ship. It was enough to cover a third of the cruiser's cost. Thus, we were able to buy the ship.

05:13:53 ...und named her after our benefactor, Jurgos Averrof. Für die Ambitious Greek Navy, sie war die Mightiest ship they possessed, ...und became a source of pride for the Greeks ... ...from the moment she was commissioned into service. A snout bow is the element of the cruiser's appearance ... ...that draws most attention. That design feature was brought by the legacy of ancient Trirems, ... ...and it was common to all warships of the steam-powered, armor-clad fleet era. Simply put,

05:14:20 Averhoff was the last armored cruiser to be commissioned in the world. Performance characteristics of cruiser Jorgos Averhoff in 1911. 140.5 m, 21 m, 7.5 m, total displacement 10,400 tons. Armament. Main caliber, four .234 mm Mark X guns.

05:14:50 Medium caliber, eight 190 mm Mark VI guns coupled in four turrets. Secondary armament, 1676 mm guns. The cruiser was armed with three 430 mm underwater torpedo tubes.

05:15:09 Armour, belt, up to 200 mm. Deck, 50 mm. Main turrets, 200 mm. Conning tower, 180 mm. Propulsion, two steam engines and 22 Bellbill boilers. Power, 20,808 hp. Top speed, 24 knots. Cruising range, 2,480 miles at 17.5 knots.

05:15:41 The ship was commissioned into service in May 1911, but after leaving the shipyard, she set out not to Greece, but to England. There, she would participate in the festivities dedicated to the coronation of King George V. After the parade, the cruiser ran aground and was sent to Plymouth for repairs.

05:16:03 As was common with a lot of fleets at the time, the relationship between officers and enlisted was not always idyllic. But if you bear in mind that after accepting delivery, the crew were sent not back home to Greece to work out to Kingston to become a smoothly operating machine, but to an international review, and then you add an incident with the ship running aground, you can imagine the tensions were starting to run a little bit high. The cup of patience overflowed, however, one day in July 1911.

05:16:31 When for lunch, the crew were served this. It's a Stilton, apparently a close relative to the Roquefort, and considered a delicacy. Now, the Greek sailors, who were a little bit more used to their natal feta, did not understand the sophistication involved in eating this. And frankly, I'm inclined to agree. Angered at having been served moldy cheese, the crew rebelled.

05:16:56 Der Rebellion wurde ohne die Use-Wirbeln geöffnet, aber beide der Kommandor und die Instigators der Rebellion waren zurückgekehrt. Und Pavlos Kontoriotis wurde in England verabschiedet, wo er dann wurde als neue CO. Der Appointment von Pavlos Kontoriotis als Kommandor-At-Helm der größte modernen Welt der Greek-Navy war ziemlich appropriat. Er war in eine Familie von einem famousen politischen Figuren. Er war 20 Jahre alt, er startet seine Service in der Greek-Navy.

05:17:24 He fought in the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. Three years later, he was the first in the Greek Navy to cross the Atlantic Ocean while being at the helm of training ship Miaoulis.

05:17:34 Thanks to his strong-willed character and the excellent attributes of a naval officer that he possessed, Konturiotis ascended the career ladder very quickly, and in 1908, he became the Adjutant General to the King of Greece, Georgius I. In 1912, Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria declared war on the Ottoman Empire. Konturiotis, being commander of the Aegean Sea Fleet at that time, played an important role in the approval of that decision by the Greek authorities.

05:18:03 Konturiotis told Prime Minister Venizelos then, I'm not afraid of the Turkish fleet, even though its ships are more numerous than ours. I will be able to liberate the Aegean Sea with the help of valor and the bravery of Greek sailors alone. Konturiotis attained the rank of Rear Admiral.

Die Geschichte der Averrof und ihre Rolle in der griechischen Marine

05:18:22

05:18:22 Und in der Fall 1912, er hat eine Reihe von erfolgreicher Amphibious-Operations geführt, die leden zu den Bezug auf mehrere Key Islands und ermöglicht den Bezug auf der Greek-Naval-Basen. Averrof war die größte modernen船 der Greek-Navie, und sogar von den Navien aus allen anderen Ländern. Die Gründe warum sie die Greek-Flagship wurde, sind klar.

05:18:47 Kontraortis hat gewonnen, und erinnert die Leute's Liebe, nach liberating den Grieken Islands. However, mit dem so getan, der Admiral, sein Flagship, Averrof und die gesamte Grieken fleet wurden die größte Priorität für den Krieg, und sie hat nicht die Grieken warten.

05:19:03 On December 16, ships of the Ottoman Empire set out to sea in order to fight off the Greek squadron that was blocking the Dardanelles. Kontoliotis spotted the enemy at a 20 a.m. The Admiral lined up his main forces, comprising flagship Averrof and three coastal defense battleships, and set out towards the enemy.

05:19:33 The Turkish fleet, comprising two Squadron battleships armed with two 80 mm main caliber guns, was stronger. In addition, in specific conditions, they could be supported by coastal batteries. In the space of an hour, the Turkish ships approached the Greeks to a distance of 10 km and fired fur salvos at them. A minute later, the Greeks answered. At a range of 9 km, these 234 mm rifles opened fire. Built by the British firm of Armstrong,

05:20:00 Notice the 9.2-inch, they were in common service with the Royal Navy at the beginning of the 20th century. Averroff mounted four of these guns in two twin turrets, and indeed the convex shape of the roof of the turret also belies their British origin. There were 18 people in the gunhouses, and they were capable of servicing the rifles so quickly that every barrel could fire around every eight seconds.

05:20:32 At some point, the fight, known as the Battle of Eli, turned into a fight that pitted Avarov against the entire Turkish squadron. Since all of the ships were older and much slower than the flagship, Kontouriotis had to speed up with his ship Avarov, leave the other ships behind, and head into battle against the Turkish forces alone.

05:20:57 Accurate salvers from Avaroff, combined with daring maneuvers by Konturiotis, who led the cruiser right up to the Turkish flagship in order to split the enemy squadron in half, caught the Turks cold. The Turkish squadron focused their fire on Avaroff, but their shells failed to reach their target. The gunmen on the Greek cruiser were more accurate. The Turkish formation was soon broken up.

05:21:24 and they hurried to hide in the Dardanelles. During the battle, the ship was caught in a crossfire between the Turkish coastal batteries and her surface vessels, and she did take three hits, although none of them were serious. Avrof was pretty well protected. Her main belt was 20 cm thick, and she had an additional 18 cm covering her vital spaces, such as the Barbettes. Indeed, the armor was of a new cemented type.

05:21:47 And although it was only half as thick as the 40 cm of the old iron Turkish battleships, it still provided a lot more protection. And indeed, with the new armaments and protection, when the ship arrived, the Greeks christened her a tharykto, a battleship.

05:22:13 Das war der erste Krieg von der Greek-Navy. Es war die Krieg von einem Schiff, Avarof, mit Konturiotis auf dem Helm. Aber später, auf Jan. 18. 1913, der Turkish-Squadron sette sich wieder zu sehen, und ein zweites Battle broke. Die zweite Battle also wurde in eine Duell zwischen Avarof und der gesamten Turkish-Fleet.

05:22:41 But the results were even more disastrous for the Turks. The Turkish fleet found themselves blocked in the Dardanelles, and their ships took severe damage. Despite the focused fire of the Turkish guns, only two men were killed and eight wounded on board Avarov. Those men were the only crew losses the ship suffered in the entire time of her service.

05:23:06 After the battle, which would be historically known as the Battle of Lemnos, the Turkish fleet entirely lost its combat capabilities, and the Greek forces, led by Averrof, became the masters of the Aegean Sea. Kontoriotis' victories over the Turkish fleet brought the fame of a national hero for the Admiral, and his cruiser became known as the Menace of the Aegean Sea. Averrof hardly took part in combat in World War I, but in 1919, the Third Greco-Turkish War broke out.

05:23:40 The cruiser supported Allied troops and helped evacuate the Greeks from Turkey in 1922, when the battle met its unfortunate end. Avarof underwent a major overhaul and upgrade in France between 1925–1927.

05:23:56 The torpedo tubes and some guns of her secondary armament were demounted from the ship, while a new fire control system and anti-aircraft armament were installed. The old propulsion remained, as the cost of replacing it was considered to be unreasonably expensive for such an old ship. Now, by this point, most fleets in the world had moved to a liquid fuel system, but on Averrof, coal was retained, and you can imagine how pleasant it would have been in the heat.

05:24:21 für die Stokers, die die Kohl von den Bunkern, die in den Fireboxen, und dann haben sie die Asche ausgedrückt, und das wurde ausgedrückt, indem man einen Elevator an den Topf ausgedrückt. Es gibt 22 diese Wasser-Filled Boilers in zwei Engines compartments, um ein bisschen redundancy zu geben, in der Falle zu verabschieden. Und wenn man es sieht, Avrof ist etwas wie ein Multinational-Ship. Die Hull und Armour sind italien, die Boilers und Engines sind frisch.

05:24:49 Die Generator sind German und die Armament sind British.

Die Rolle der Averrof im Zweiten Weltkrieg und ihr Beitrag zur Befreiung Griechenlands

05:24:54

05:24:54 The English guns of the Greek Ironclad had their chance to serve the crown in the next World War, which Greece entered as an ally of Great Britain. When combat began in 1940, the Greek fleet and its irreplaceable flagship Yorgos Avaroff escorted convoys transporting troops and all needed supplies for the citizens of the Greek islands and protected the coastline from the enemy. In April of 1941, Germany invaded Greece.

05:25:21 und die Luftwaffe zählte die Hellenik-Navie, auf die Angelegenheit zu verabschieden, zum Beispiel der O-Battleship Wilkis. Averrof war nicht allein von den attentions. Die Germanen attacken waren so stark, dass die Antiaircraft-Gunners das als die Deadly-Watch waren. Die Germanen advance waren so schnell, dass die Reminen der Luft geholfen waren zu relocate, zu Crete und dann Alexandria. Aber die Nahrung der Luftwaffe ordered Averrof zu scuttleden.

05:25:47 an der Prämis, dass sie zu olden ist, dass sie von Militärn nicht mehr verletzten, und dass sie wenig merit ist, dass sie die Gegenwart eine Prize für die Heroin des Balkans. However, die Crew auf ihre eigene Entscheidung verletzten, und ihre eigene Brake für Alexandria machte. At night, April 18, die Crews' Kommander, Ionis Vlacopoulos, und ein paar Crew-Members, approached eine closed-harbor-boom auf eine row-boat. Die harbor-boom war verletzten, um die Station zu protecten.

05:26:13 Using axes and hand saws, the sailors cut through the harbor boom so Avaroff could set out to sea. On April 23, the cruiser arrived in Alexandria and became part of the British Mediterranean forces. Greece capitulated on the same day, and the government left the country.

05:26:30 In August 1941, the ship, now under British operational control, was sent to the Indian Ocean for convoy service, where she remained based out of Bombay until the end of 1942. Now, at this point, the 30-year-old ship is making 12 to 16 knots, which for a cruiser is an indicator as to her state, even though in the 1925 to 1927 refit her original Belleville boilers had been replaced by light new ones.

05:26:59 However, that didn't prevent cruiser Averrof from fulfilling her combat duties. From November 1942, she patrolled the entrance to the Suez Canal.

05:27:11 Once the war was over and the Germans had left Greece, Avoroth, as a flagship of the Greek navy, transported the Greek government back from exile, here, to Felero. The day following the cruise's arrival, on October 17, 1944, an official ceremony of raising the Greek flag in the Acropolis was organized, involving the Prime Minister of that time, Georgos Papandreou.

05:27:41 The flag, which was raised on the sacred mountain and symbolized the birth of a new free Greece, was the flag of cruiser Avaroff.

05:27:56 Von 1945 bis 1952, Avarof war stationed at Salamis Naval Base und für die Niederlande gesetzt. Die schedule der All-Ships der Greek-Navy von dem Zeitpunkt ist noch auf der Barbette der Main Rear Turret. Patrolships, Corvettes, Auxiliary Vessels, Destroyers, und Submarines waren auf es. E.g., der Commander hatte die folgende Information. A Patrolship.

05:28:23 Designated time of departure, where the ship was headed, arrival, designated time of arrival, and a signal for the ship to set out to sea. In 1984, the cruiser was towed to her current station, and her status was changed to that of a museum ship. Avaroff still remains the flagship of the Greek Navy, and her crew carry out actual military service.

05:28:51 Every day, we work to preserve the ship and keep her alive. It requires a lot of effort and money, but it requires love before everything else. If you don't love what you do, you won't make much of it. But my crew and I, we all love this ship.

05:29:22 In December 2017, when cruiser Avaroff was leaving Saloniki, where she had taken part in the festivities dedicated to the anniversary of liberating North Greece from the Ottoman rule, many citizens asked the sailors to stay. They felt safe when they saw Avaroff in the port.

05:29:50 Fate has generally smiled upon the history of this ship. Avrof survived five wars and was originally funded by donations from private Greek citizens, and 70 years later was again rebuilt by donations from the public. As a result, she can rightfully be described as a national treasure. It's kind of hard to think of a nation with a greater maritime tradition than that of Greece, the bond between men and the sea. And as the...

05:30:17 Griech historien und Autor Dimitris Fortiades once sagte, Without the fleet, we cannot see freedom.

05:30:36 Hello guys, nice to see you. My name is UberStrake. I am from channel Od Gracia dla Graczy. In English, from player to players. I am Polish community contributor. About 4 years and 8 years I am playing World of Warships. 10 years, World of Warships, great things. I want to stay happy anniversary for all of you. And the rest of this message...

05:31:01 I speak in Polish for the Polish community. Cześć gracze, witam serdecznie. Przywitałem się już z Wami po angielsku. No i mam nadzieję, że po polsku tak samo dobrze mi wyjdzie. Mam nadzieję, że wszystkie bitwy, które do dzisiaj rozegraliście są warte zapamiętania. Jeżeli nie, no to przecież na pewno takie nadejdą. I przede wszystkim z okazji rocznicy życzę Wam samich epickich, wielkich, potężnych spotkań na wirtualnych morzach i oceanach. Do zobaczenia!

05:31:28 nicht bald, denn wir sehen uns auf Twitch und YouTube. Tschüss!

Vorstellung der Z-44 und Admiral Graf Spee in World of Warships

05:31:51

05:31:51 Pan Asia was also represented, with a destroyer whose real-world story showed how ships could change hands, flags and destinies, a reminder of how closely the game connects to naval history. The Armada series let us dive right in exploring the history behind the ships, showing how they're built in the game, and even sharing some useful tactics for captains to try out in battle.

05:32:30 In 1936, the first Type 1936 destroyer was laid down at a shipyard at the Deschü Mag Shipbuilding Company. This project resulted in the creation of the most effective destroyer out of all ships of this type that were being developed in Germany at the time. And in the following eight years, 24 modified variants of her were built. Two more ships were launched, but never completed. One of those unfinished variants, Z-44, has become a Tier IX Premium Destroyer in our game.

05:32:58 thanks to the efforts of the World of Warships designers. Z-44 was a 1936 B-class destroyer. She was laid down in May 1942. The shipyards were overloaded and labor was scarce, which is why her construction progressed slowly. In December 1943, Z-44 was launched and placed in a fitting out dock in Bremen.

05:33:24 In July 1944, during a massive Allied air raid, the ship was hit by several bombs and sank. The damage she had sustained was so extensive that it was impractical to complete her, and she was salvaged for parts instead.

05:33:40 In World of Warships, Z44 is a ship that can make her enemies feel nervous just by her presence on the battlefield due to her quite powerful offensive capabilities. These are her main trumps. Long-range torpedoes 12 km 64 knots Maximum damage 13,700

05:34:04 Good torpedo tube reload speed. Her two quintuple tube launchers can unleash a salvo every 85 seconds. Effective armor-piercing shells. Shells with a maximum damage of 3,000, one of the highest values among same-tier destroyers.

05:34:21 However, the main application of Z-44 is not close quarters engagements, at least not at the very start of a battle. Z-44 is primarily a torpedo destroyer, and her gameplay is geared toward conducting frequent long-range torpedo attacks. As the ship has quite high detectability and lacks the hydroacoustic search consumable, storming key areas at the beginning of a battle is not advisable.

05:34:47 Es wäre einfacher zu first concentrate on long-range torpedo-attacks, then move to capture only around the middle of a battle, when there are fewer enemy ships.

05:34:57 While the ship's high-explosive shells don't inflict significant damage, this is compensated for by her good armor-piercing shells. The latter will help you emerge victorious from duels with enemy destroyers, if you use them effectively. Thanks to the smoke generator consumable, Z-44 can confidently fire from within a smoke screen or take refuge in high from unwanted attention. The engine boost consumable enables her to quickly change position.

05:35:21 I recommend paying attention to the following upgrades to fully unlock Z-44's potential. Main Armaments Modification 1 Engine Room Protection Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 Propulsion Modification 1 Concealment System Modification 1 Torpedo Tubes Modification 2 Recommended Skills for a 10-point Commander Priority Target Last Stand

05:35:50 Torpedo Armament Expertise, Concealment Expert. For a 19 skill point commander add Superintendent, Adrenaline Rush, Survivability Expert, Preventive Maintenance. Destroyer Z44 offers a wide range of tactical possibilities and can be useful in different situations at various stages of battle. Thanks to her remarkable torpedo armament and powerful armor-piercing shells, you can make the enemy's life considerably harder by methodically sending their ships back to the port.

05:36:19 Moreover, Z44 brings increased profit in XP and credits, like all other Premium ships. Good luck, Captains, and have fun in battle!

05:37:13 2020 also carried forward the idea of giving ships a second life, through meticulous research and reconstruction. Using blueprints, archival material and expert input, vessels that were never completed, destroyed in battle or dismantled long ago were recreated for the game. Each one represented a story left unfinished in history, brought back so players could experience what it might have been like to command them.

05:37:36 This continuation of Dry Dock reinforced the central idea of World of Warships, preserving naval heritage and imagination on the seas.

05:37:55 But now they're getting a new lease of life. We recreate ships accurately, according to their historical blueprints, and send them into battle. World of Warships, Dry Dock. Greetings, Captains. Whilst the installation of the main deck, bulkheads, and barbet of the rear main turret is in progress on battleship Odin, I want to direct your attention to the famous German heavy cruiser, Admiral Graf Spee.

05:38:52 There were three ships of her class, Admiral Graf Spee, Admiral Scheer, and the lead ship Deutschland, which was later renamed Lutso. The original idea behind these armored cruisers, which were designed in Germany in the second half of the 1920s, was captured in their nickname, Pocket Battleships.

05:39:11 The German shipbuilders managed to find a balanced combination of the powerful armament that was common for the battleships of that time and the displacement of comparatively lightweight cruisers.

05:39:26 Admiral Graf Spee's main battery comprised six 283 mm guns placed in sets of three across two turrets. Her secondary battery comprised eight 150 mm guns. The ship also carried various AA armaments and two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers. Admiral Graf Spee's armor was the thickest out of the ships of her series.

05:39:50 The cruiser's vertical armor was 140 mm thick and was capable of protecting vital parts of the ship against 203 mm shells. One of the most important engineering solutions was the use of diesel engines as her main propulsion. These gave the ship a unique cruising range that would only be surpassed by nuclear-powered ships.

05:40:12 Eight nine-cylinder motors, each providing 7,100 horsepower, allowed the cruiser to speed up to 29 knots and gave it a cruising range of up to 20,000 miles at a 10-knot cruising speed.

05:40:25 Admiral Graf Spee met the beginning of World War II in the South Atlantic, where she had been sent to raid British commercial ships in August 1939. By the end of September, the English had amassed quite an impressive force with the objective of intercepting her. For almost three months, Admiral Graf Spee successfully carried out her mission to terrorize merchant sailors and confuse the British Admiralty. But she wouldn't go unchecked.

05:41:01 The elusive raider was eventually spotted by a British taskforce off the coast of Uruguay. On December 13, 1939, the first large naval battle of World War II took place close to the La Plata estuary. Admiral Graf Spee took on three English cruisers that ceded the German ship in terms of their firepower, but she still managed to deal some damage and make a safe retreat to neutral Uruguay.

05:41:31 Four days later, with no chance to break through to her home waters, Admiral Graf Spee was scuttled near Montevideo.

05:41:39 The history of German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee and her interesting combat characteristics are what motivated us to revive her in the virtual shipyard of World of Warships. In our game, the famous Raider is a Tier VI Premium ship that offers unique gameplay opportunities due to her dual nature, a unique mixture of battleship and cruiser characteristics.

05:42:20 As veteran players say, Admiral Graf Spee can destroy any ship that can catch up to her, and escape from any ship that might threaten her survival. However, despite that gung-ho and optimistic sentiment, the cruiser isn't actually well suited to acting without support. Her guns don't reload fast enough to stand alone against several targets of different types. The number and placement of her guns also make it hard for her to dictate the turns of engagement to her enemies. However, those mighty guns can inflict some serious damage, even to anyone.

05:42:49 Die Kruisers' Torpedo armament kann in sehr handeln in battles gegen battleships. Two quadruple-tube-launches, with torpedoes that travel up to 8 km, are ready for use in case of a tactical retreat or as a last-chance weapon.

05:43:09 Admiral Graf Spey is highly effective against cruisers if you prevent any enemies equipped with torpedoes from getting in close. The ship isn't maneuverable enough to effectively evade torpedoes. As for the rest, two or three successful salvos from Admiral Graf Spey can send an enemy cruiser back to the port.

05:43:29 The German ship's secondary guns are great against destroyers, but you should keep them at an optimal distance. The Hydroacoustic Search consumable will definitely help increase your confidence when fighting against them. To counteract aviation, Admiral Graf Spee has decent AA artillery and offers the possibility of mounting the AA Defensifier consumable instead of Hydroacoustic Search if you prefer. The cruiser also carries a fighter aboard.

05:43:56 Kruiser Admiral Graf Spee's capabilities allow her to have a decisive impact on the way a battle plays out, while her convenient and intuitive gameplay should help you notch up a great many victories. Take this unique historical ship under your command and test all her strength in battle. Good luck, Captains! Some were destroyed in battle. Others weren't completed. Some are laid up and can only dream about battles.

05:44:42 Aber jetzt werden sie eine neue Lease der Leben bekommen. Wir re-Kreate shipen accurately, according zu ihren historischen Blueprints und senden sie in die Krieg. World of Warships, Drydock.

05:44:58 Aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin was the lead ship of her series, named after Ferdinand von Zeppelin, a German designer of rigid airships. The initial project, approved at the end of 1935, provided for the construction of four ships. Later, however, a decision to cut the series in half was made.

05:45:20 The ship, Designated Aircraft Carrier A, was laid down an entire year after the project had been approved, on December 28, 1936. The Navy had to wait for battleship Genezenauer to launch in order to free up her stocks. The aircraft carrier received an open flight deck with overhangs at her ends and a superstructure that was shifted towards her starboard. A two-level hangar was located below the flight deck.

05:45:45 Initially, the German Naval High Command insisted on installing 203 mm guns aboard the ship. However, this was later changed, and it was instead planned for Graf Zeppelin to carry 16 150 mm guns in twin mounts. The carrier's AA defenses comprised 12 105 mm guns and numerous anti-aircraft autocannons.

05:46:05 The airgroup should have consisted of 42 aircraft, 10 Messerschmitt Bf 109 T fighter planes, 12 Junkers Ju 87C dive bombers, and 20 specially designed multipurpose Fiesler Fi 167 aircraft, which were capable of serving both as deck bombers, torpedo bombers, and reconnaissance planes. On October 8, 1938,

05:46:28 Two years after her keel had been laid down, Graf Zeppelin was launched in the presence of the Count's daughter, Helle von Zeppelin, who took part in the ship's christening ceremony. By the following September, the ship was 85% ready, but then the construction work was put on hold. It was only on May 13, 1942,

05:46:48 that the Kriegsmarine issued a directive about the completion of the aircraft carrier, but her project was changed. On December 5, Graf Zeppelin arrived in Kiel and was transferred to a dry dock. However, in February 1943, her construction was halted again, and on April 24, 1945, the order to destroy this ship was issued.

05:47:10 In World of Warships, Graf Zeppelin found her place at Tier VI. The carrier has a powerful secondary battery, which is unusual for her type, a low-sitting citadel and decent side protection. She carries fast bombers and torpedo bombers, while her attack aircraft have some of the most powerful rockets of their tier.

05:47:42 Greetings Captains, or as we say in German, Moin Herr Kapitän. Welcome to the beautiful port of Hamburg in the background scene. My name is Trendless, I have been ECC for 5 years from 2020 and I've been playing this game for 9 years already. It has been a hell of a journey and off to the 10 year anniversary this year. World of Warships becoming 10 years. It has been a crazy journey from...

05:48:12 Sinking submarines, dueling with battleships, dealing with aircraft carriers. All I wish is that everybody wishes come true. Hope to see another 10 years of this game. And thank you so much for everything, all of you guys. Utrendless out. Stay safe and healthy. And see you next time. Bye bye, my friends. So, 2021. That year, our seas and oceans welcomed German destroyers and Dutch cruisers.

05:48:40 Powerful German and Italian battleships and Soyuz aircraft carriers. Captains also set sail from the brand new port Cure, while Convoy and the Lighthouse Auction made their debut.

Sowjetische Flugzeugträger und die Marlborough Schlachtschiff in World of Warships

05:48:55

05:48:55 Captain, an Aircraft Carrier Task Force of World of Warships is receiving reinforcements. Welcome a new branch in the Soviet Tech Tree. Komsomolets, Serov, Pabeda, and Nahimov are a magnificent quartet of aircraft carriers that have arrived in the seas of our game to secure glorious victories.

05:49:23 The aircraft carriers of every nation have their own unique features. The Germans have armor-piercing rockets, the British mastered a specific bombing technique, Japanese torpedoes deal high damage, and the Americans pack powerful high-explosive ammo. These are the first things that come to mind when we mention the aircraft carriers of different countries. Soviet naval aviation also has something to surprise players with.

05:49:48 Wenn ein Flugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeugzeug

05:50:00 This specific feature is compensated for by the large size of the attacking flight. For example, while helming Tier X Nahi Move, you can dispatch either seven torpedo bombers, or eight attack aircraft, or eight bombers to attack at once. Speaking of the latter, the bombers of all researchable Soviet carriers utilize skip bombing.

05:50:19 Until the arrival of the newcomers, only one ship carried aviation that utilized this drop-bombing technique, Max Immelmann. As far as the attack aviation goes, starting at Tier VI, they're armed with powerful rockets that can be compared to American Tiny Tims in terms of their efficiency. Let's say a couple of words about Soviet torpedoes. They have a long arming distance and decent range for aircraft carriers.

05:50:43 In addition, Soviet aircraft do not possess repair consumables. Take that into account, especially when attacking targets with strong AA defenses.

05:50:58 It goes without saying that you can deal decent damage per attack with such a large number of aircraft per flight. However, in order to attack again, you need to return to the carrier and fly all the way to your target again. Meanwhile, aircraft carriers of other nations can make several attacks on a target per flight. Moreover, Soviet aviation can boast of having impressive cruising speeds or large HP pools compared with their counterparts.

05:51:26 Every shot down aircraft means reduced damage per run. You might ask the question, how can you be on par with aircraft carriers of other nations in terms of combat efficiency while playing Soviet ships? The new ships have an answer to that. First of all, jet boosters partially compensate for the unimpressive cruising speed of their aircraft. You can find jet boosters on the aircraft of carriers Pabetta and Nahimov. The working principle is simple.

05:51:55 When a squadron takes off the deck, it gets a temporary speed boost provided by these jet boosters. You can already see a similar mechanic on Japanese hybrid ships E-Sec and Taunet. Secondly, Soviet aircraft carriers have decent concealment parameters among ships of that type. For example, Pabeda, in combination with an appropriate upgrade, camouflage, and commander skill, can be spotted from 10.3 kilometers. Nahimov, from 11.2 kilometers.

05:52:21 Thanks to such concealment parameters, Soviet aircraft carriers can get closer to their enemies and thus increase the frequency of their attacks. You can improve the efficiency of ships in port using upgrades and commander skills. We recommend installing Air Groups Modification 1 in the first slot, aircraft engines in the second slot. Utilize the third slot to increase the attack time of torpedo bombers or cruising speed of aviation torpedoes.

05:52:49 The fourth slot can be equipped with three upgrades that improve the combat efficiency of the three aircraft types. Here, everything depends on your preferences. We recommend reserving the fifth slot for Concealment System, which is highly effective when employed on Soviet aircraft carriers. However, there is an alternative, Flight Control Modification 1. This upgrade restores lost aircraft faster, and it also adds two extra spots on the carrier's deck. We recommend mounting Air Groups Modification 2 in the sixth slot.

05:53:18 Es erhöht die combat-efficienzie der ganzen Aircraft. Commander Skills. Wir wollen die Rekommenden Skills bezeichnen, die mit der Spezial-Symbol sind. Wenn Sie wollen die Koncealment-Parameters auf Ihren Schiff verbessern, können Sie die Proximity-Fuse-Skill für Hidden Menace.

05:53:46 The beginning of battle for Soviet aircraft carriers hardly differs from that of other carriers. The only thing we can advise you here is to set a course to the nearest island in the direction where most of your allies are heading. You can dispatch Attack Aviation first, because their cruising speed is the highest of all aircraft types. Before you launch your first offensive, try to detect as many enemies as possible and analyze their forces. It's quite probable that you'll have to change flank to be more efficient.

05:54:17 Keep an eye on the minimap and positions of enemy destroyers on it. It's highly important because you'll often play close to the attack line. If you're spotted, enemies will do their best to gift you an express ticket back to the port. Try to follow your allies in battle when your team is confidently pushing forward into enemy positions.

05:54:36 With respect to offensive measures, the rockets of your attack aircraft are effective against medium and large targets. When you dispatch torpedo bombers, keep in mind that it's quite difficult for players helming Soviet carriers to release torpedoes close to enemies and attack targets hiding behind islands. The reason behind that is the torpedo arming distance. Plus, the torpedo cruising speed isn't that high. When dropping torpedoes, even on large targets, you should take a lead by a length of the hull or hull and a half.

05:55:05 Utilizing skip bombers allows you to attack enemies in different ways. The main thing here is to avoid obstacles the bombs can bounce off. You can attack both slow targets and swift ships with this bomb type. It's sufficient to approach enemy ships in such a way that the closest reticle mark of the bombers lies along the ship's course right before the attack. If you do everything right, the bombs will hit the enemy ship immediately after they're released.

05:55:40 Sovjet aircraft carriers can surprise players, despite the fact that they share similar features with other ships of their type. You can expect high damage per successful attack, good concealment characteristics, and unusual combat tactics. Those Captains who master all the gameplay nuances of the new carriers will be able to noticeably affect outcomes of battles. Don't believe it? Then take one of the new carriers into battle and find out for yourself!

05:56:09 What is up, Warshippers? Searaptor here. Can you believe it has been 10 years? A full decade of World of Warships. Like so many of you, I got here on day one of Open Beta and I have been here ever since. And what a ride it has been. I am a Twitch partner now and have a small YouTube channel these days expressly because I found all of you, a ton of fellow naval history nerds here playing this game.

05:56:38 Ultimately, that's the thing that I treasure most about my time in Boats, the people. From Let's Battle Tour 2017 back aboard USX Lexington to all the Anchors Away events I was able to attend in subsequent years, the highlight has been the people and the friends that I've made in this community. Some players, some community managers, some developers, but...

05:56:59 All with a shared passion for gaming and history that make World of Warships what it is. It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of this community. Here is to another decade of torpedoes, citadels and depth charges. Let's go. Captains, don't miss out on the rewards every hour of the stream. Look for the codes on screen and claim a special Ship 10 container.

05:57:22 3 like and subscribe camouflages, 3 rare bonuses containers and the price of 3000 community tokens. Make sure you claim yours. Several ships joined the game and instantly became player favorites. Each one had its own character and gave captains fresh ways to enjoy the fight.

05:57:39 Some set the golden standard for their national lines, while others introduced entirely new ways to shape battles and gameplay. Together these ships made 2021 a year of variety and new mechanics, keeping every battle you sailed into fresh and exciting.

05:58:12 The famous reformer of the Royal Navy, Admiral John Fisher, once said, the Navy travels first class, meaning that Britain's naval power was unflinching and based on the most modern and powerful ships in the world. Battleships, first of all.

05:58:31 However, as early as the 1930s, the British Royal Navy, bound by the strict limits of international treaties, risked finding itself in an old fishing boat, left behind by the powerful and quickliners of other naval powers. However, we must give credit to the British gentleman.

05:58:48 They honestly tried to follow the restrictions imposed on naval armaments by treaties, although this later led them into a situation where they had to maneuver in narrow straits, figuratively speaking. Today I want to tell you about a ship created by World of Warships designers as a tribute to British shipbuilders of the 1930s. She is Tier IX Premium Battleship Marlborough.

05:59:14 Soon after the large series of King George V-class battleships, with a total displacement of 35,000 tons and 356 mm guns, stipulated by the London Treaty of 1936, had been completed in 1937, the international naval treaties that limited the dimensions and the main caliber of capital ships effectively collapsed.

05:59:37 Britain found itself in a situation where it had to quickly respond to new super-battleships with 380-406mm artillery that were being designed and constructed by other naval powers.

05:59:51 In reality, the Lion-class battleships laid down in summer 1939 were their response. Unfortunately, their construction was canceled rather quickly. The main impediment was the long time needed to develop and produce new 406 mm guns and mounts for them that existed only on blueprints.

06:00:10 The Navy found the solution in creating a new battleship project around 381 mm twin-gun mounts from 1916 that were stored in warehouses. This effort resulted in the construction of Vanguard.

06:00:25 There was another hypothetical variant. Increase the displacement of future battleships and equip them with numerous 356 mm quadruple gun turrets from the King George V class that were ready for production. Moreover, these guns were conceived for a specific tactical concept.

06:00:43 British specialists believed that battleships needed to approach each other to a range of 11–14 km for a decisive battle because they wouldn't be able to ensure the sinking of each other from a longer distance. At shorter ranges, guns of a smaller caliber could develop a higher firing rate, which guaranteed them an advantage.

06:01:05 Arm Albrecht was created on the basis of design solutions taken from Line and Vanguard when it comes to her hull and superstructure. As for her armament systems, we drew inspiration from King George V-class battleships, taking into consideration that a ship like this laid down in Britain before World War II would have been surely completed after its end.

06:01:29 Hence the battleship's main advantages. Numerous guns with a quick reload for her type, as well as good concealment and decent speed and maneuverability. Sure, there are downsides as well. Low accuracy of her main battery, and not the strongest armor among battleships.

06:01:50 The heavy salvo, low detectability, and good maneuverability make Marlborough an effective medium-range fighter. Thanks to her good concealment, she can approach the enemy to a distance that allows for an accurate salvo and unleash the power of her 16 main battery guns. Due to the large number of guns, you can efficiently fire at enemies that are at your maximum range as well.

06:02:15 but you need to keep her mediocre accuracy and modest gun caliber in mind. Good speed and maneuverability allow you to quickly change position or withdraw with minimum losses if the situation on the battlefield is not in your favor. The ship can't boast of having the strongest armor, so you should take a balanced approach to planning your attack. As for ship upgrades, we recommend reinforcing her main battery and survivability.

06:02:42 Mount Main Armament Modification 1 in the first slot, Damage Control System Modification 1 in the second slot, Aiming Systems Modification 1 in the third slot, Damage Control System Modification 2 in the fourth slot, Concealment System Modification 1 in the fifth slot, and Gun Fire Control System Modification 2 or Main Battery Modification 3 in the sixth slot.

06:03:10 Kapitänz, ich möchte Ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf den Fakt, dass Update 0.10.11 ein neues Dockyard, wo man einen neuen Dockyard bauen kann, Marlborough. Diese Dockyard will span drei Updates, 0.10.11, 0.11.0 und 0.11.1.

06:03:27 Please note that by progressing through shipbuilding phases, you can add such legendary British ships as Dreadnought and Repulse to your fleet, earn loads of valuable rewards, and of course, become the owner of battleship Marlborough at the end.

06:03:43 Now the traditional Armada draw. This time our main prize is a Premium Ship 9 Container. It is guaranteed to drop a 10-skill-point Commander, port slot, and—what's most intriguing—a Tier IX ship. This trophy could become yours.

06:04:00 If you like this video, subscribe to our channel, and answer this question correctly. What is the maximum firing range of battleship Marlboro's main battery guns? Leave your comment with the correct answer under this video, and don't forget to specify your nickname and game server. The winner will be announced in the first comment under the next Armada episode. Participate in the draw, and good luck, Captains!

06:04:55 Ships in our game are like music. A light and rapid destroyer that hits a bullseye with a torpedo salvo is like a pop song. She can either become a memorable fighter in a battle or vanish without anyone remembering her. A cruiser is like jazz. They are played professionally, perfect to the music sheet, but in the hands of a true jazzman, they can impress you with improvisation. And a battleship is a ship that can suppress you with its heavy weight.

06:05:24 It's like a pure heavy metal song that still remains an undying classic. I want to present one such ship to you. She even has a suitable name. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Italian premium battleship Giuseppe Verdi.

06:05:42 Giuseppe Verdi, a Tier IX battleship, was born of the UP-41 project developed by the Italian Anseldo Company in the mid-1930s. The project, with its 406mm main guns, was offered to the Soviet Union, which was interested in Italian Littorio-class battleships at that time. However, the deal went no further than negotiation stage, and the UP-41 project,

06:06:09 was left in the Russian State Naval Archives. Many years later, the World of Warships designers took on the task of bringing her to life, and the UP-41 project has been embodied in the form of battleship Marco Polo and her sister ship, Giuseppe Verdi. In our game, Giuseppe Verdi differs from her sister ship with exhaust smoke generator, HE shells instead of semi-armor-piercing ones, and vice versa, semi-armor-piercing shells instead of HE ones for the secondary battery.

06:06:43 In comparison to the Great Traveller, the Great Composer has slightly better maneuverability and concealment parameters. Giuseppe Verdi is effective at medium and close ranges thanks to her nine powerful 406 mm guns, reliable armor, and good maneuverability.

06:07:04 You can add a powerful secondary battery loaded with semi-armor piercing shells to the mix for fighting at close quarters. Smokescreens, as well as good speed and maneuverability, allow the ship to get closer to enemies or safely escape from intense engagements. However, one shouldn't forget that battleships are highly visible when they fire from behind a smokescreen. Take that into account when utilizing the consumable and planning your retreat.

06:07:42 Let's talk about upgrade now. I would recommend that you enhance either the main or secondary battery, depending on your playstyle.

06:07:52 Main Armaments Modification 1 or Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 Damage Control System Modification 1 or Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Secondary Battery Modification 1 Damage Control System Modification 2 Concealment System Modification 1 Main Battery Modification 3 or Auxiliary Armaments Modification 2

06:08:22 Now, it's time for the usual Armada raffle. The main prize is the Admiral Pack, that includes battleship Giuseppe Verdi, a 10 Skillpoint Italian New Year Commander, holiday camouflages, a commemorative flag, and other useful items. All these riches will be credited to one of the players who subscribes to our channel, hits the Like button under the video, and provides the correct answer to the following question.

06:08:47 How many main artillery guns are mounted on board Giuseppe Verdi? Look out for the hint in today's episode. Don't forget to share your in-game nickname and the server you play on in the comment with the correct answer. Please keep that in mind. And a couple of parting words from me. Before you head into battle playing Giuseppe Verdi, take a listen to some of the undying works of this composer. For example, the Triumphal March from Aida or the Duke song from Rigoletto.

06:09:16 Take part in the raffle and good luck, Captains!

06:09:44 Ten years and nine months ago, I logged in to World of Warships for the very first time as a part of the closed beta weekend. I absolutely loved it because it connected me with my childhood game. Happy 10 year anniversary World of Warships. Now to celebrate, I'm wearing the first t-shirt I ever received from 2017. And yes, I still have the pamphlet. It's been a wild ride.

06:10:12 I volunteered for the Wiki Editor and Supertest Program in 2016, joined the Community Contributor Program in 2018. Through all of this, of course, I've been helping my fellow players learn and grow in this game by analyzing their replays live on stream. And, of course, I've also been helping to cast many of Warships' best tournaments, including King of the Sea and the Enterprise Tournament, Clash of the Classes, and, of course, my favorite, Team League.

06:10:40 Through all of this has been you, the community. Now here's to many more years, Captains. 2021 wasn't just about new ships. It also gave players a chance to see the game from a different angle and discover the details that make every vessel unique. Two short films about Lighthouse Auction Event gave it a cinematic touch that set it apart from regular updates. What about the money?

06:12:29 Relax, cowboy. Wir sind alle Freunde hier. Als wir sagen in unserer Navy, Hallo, Amerika! Hey, Leute. Long time no see. Hey, nice to see you. You still have those boots. What would you trade them for? And who are you exactly? My name's Roger Havelock. My business is Maritime Shipping. Sit down, gentlemen.

06:13:01 Ichiro, du bist ein brillant Enginheiro. Out of die fünf modernen Warships, wie viele sind aus deinem Design? Gradoff, du kennst die See like the back of your hand. When was the last time you used a map? Murphy, du bist nicht mehr als das Meer als das Meer selbst, als es war aus dem Wasser. Willy, Willy ist der Mann, der kann dir nichts kaufen. Ich habe eine große Offer für dich alle.

06:13:30 Das ist ein Familiar-Folder. Ist das, was ich denke, es ist? Herr Englischmann, wollen Sie sagen, dass Sie bereits alle diese Spiele haben? Ich dachte, dass sie nur die Rumors sind. Nonsten! Und woher Sie so viele Spiele haben, Fancy-Panz? Auf einer perfekten Englisch-Lawne, hinter Ihrer alten Mansion?

Auktion für Kapitäne in World of Warships

06:14:35

06:14:35 Ja, ich habe eine blöde, große Bühne, Herr Murphy. Aber wo hast du sie? Ich denke, dass es wichtig ist, was wir mit ihnen machen müssen. Wir organisieren eine Auktion.

06:14:55 So, we're launching an auction that every captain can participate in, no matter where they are. How are you going to make that happen? Technology, my friend. One can participate in the auction only through a special category in the armory. It can be found in the port under the armory tab. The auction rules are simple. The higher the bid, the higher the chances of winning, right? Since the number of lots is limited,

06:15:24 The highest bids win, of course. But there is a very important condition. If my bid doesn't win, will I lose it all? A bidder at the auction doesn't risk a thing. If a bid doesn't win, it will be returned to the bidder after the auction is over. This fair and reasonable. How long does such an action last? Each auction runs for several days. We'll inform captains about the precise times with their notification. The rules look simple. Is there a catch? Everything straightforward.

06:15:52 We're giving Captains opportunities to get unique items and resources at very good prices. Mr. Willi Neumann, you have the honor of becoming a Special Commander in World of Warships. Congratulations! Please announce the list of lots for the auction. My pleasure, Mr. Havelock, sir. The first lot is German Tier X battleship Schlieffen, who is a port slot and 10 skill point commander. The second lot is 100,000 coal.

06:16:21 The third lot is Special Commander Willi Neumann, with 14 Skill Points and 20 Camouflages. And the fourth lot is a Max Immelmann commemorative flag. Let's start the auction.

Pearl Harbor: Einblick in die strategische Bedeutung und die japanische Planung des Angriffs vom 7. Dezember 1941

06:17:05

06:17:05 Wir sind in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Da oben, in 12 Meter Wasser, liegt ein 185 Meter Schiff, in der finalen Resting-Passe. Als Japanese Naval Aviation verabschiedet die Naval Base in Pearl Harbor, der Battleship Arizona nahm Bombe, und dann war es für 1,000 Soldaten und Männer. Other American-Battleships sind auch zu den Schallow-Bottom.

06:17:30 Dezember 7, 1941 ist ein tragisch Tag in US-History. Es war ein Tag der Begründung, aber es gab auch eine große Verkäufe, obwohl es an enormen Effort und countlessen Verkäufe. Vor dem Tag, aber noch niemand in der Welt hat gehört von Pearl Harbor oder Oahu.

06:18:08 The Hawaiian Islands are comprised of more than 20 islands and atolls. They are located in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, almost in the middle between North America and Asia. The islands represent a very important strategic location for the USA, which is why they were annexed by the States at the turn of the 20th century.

06:18:32 in der Welt der Welt, wie es der Fall in World War II ist, um das zu nutzen, für ihre Navy oder Air Forces zu nutzen. Und, given die Grenzen der Gefahrzeuge in der Seconde Welt, viele Flughafen haben nicht die Möglichkeit, zu flyern von Nordamerika in Asien, wie sie heute sind. So, Hawaii war ein Weg für vieles Fahrzeug zu kommen, um die Zentrale der Pacificen zu kommen, und zu benutzen in Krieg.

06:19:10 At the very beginning of 1941, the commander of the combined Japanese fleet, Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, stated his opinion that a sudden strike against the US fleet stationed at the Hawaiian Islands would inflict maximum damage to the enemy and buy Japan some time to capture the resource-rich territories that Japan badly needed. Their mission seemed impossible. The Hawaiian Islands and Japan

06:19:34 Was separated by a distance of more than 4,000 miles, there was an entire chain of airfields on the island, Hickam, Wheeler, Ewa, Kaneohe, Haleiwa, and Bellows, all of which could launch aircraft to fend off an enemy attack. This is the best remaining example of a Nakajima B5N2 torpedo bomber. The Americans called it a cake.

06:20:05 And 142 of these aircraft were used on the Radon Pearl Harbor. During training exercises, it was observed that the torpedoes, after being dropped in shallow water, would simply embed themselves into the seafloor. But by autumn in 1941, a new development of the Type 91 torpedo was released. And this used a new angular acceleration control system that was unique in the world. Externally, what you would see would be these two fins here, which would be used for roll control.

06:20:32 Also sehen Sie, auf der tail, die Wooden Panels, für bessere Aerodynamikationen während der Drops, die detach auf dem Wasser, aber das alles bedeutet, dass die Torpedos jetzt in die 17 Meter depth sind von Pearl Harbor.

06:20:51 December 7th was not the original date. It was November 20th. And they had been training their pilots for months. The pilots for the torpedo planes and the fighter planes and the dive bombers have been in training specifically for at least four months for this operation. Operation Hawaii was a very big secret in Japan. Many of the pilots did not know the mission.

06:21:18 Until they were assigned to the carrier and were actually practicing. Some of them were practicing, not knowing exactly what the target was at the time. There was an entire ordinance, secrecy also.

06:21:38 For a long while the Japanese lacked a bomb capable of penetrating the thick armor of US battleships, but they set their engineers to the problem. The solution they came up with was quite novel. You start with an obsolete 410mm battleship round, you repurpose it to become an aerial bomb, and suddenly the Japanese now have a new highly capable form of ordnance, as in particular USS Arizona would discover.

06:22:15 The fate of Pearl Harbor was decided at the beginning of November 1941. On November 4, the command structure of the Imperial Japanese Navy approved the mission plan, and the fifth commander of the combined Japanese fleet issued Combat Order 1 for the attack on Pearl Harbor. Two days later, Admiral Yamamoto approved the final date of the attack—Sunday, December 7.

06:22:41 Es wurde von einem sehr prominenten japanischen Spy, der auf der japanischen Konsul an Oahu gearbeitet hat, dass es am Sonntag am Morgen wäre der beste Zeit zu attackieren. Und deswegen haben sie es geplant, weil er wusste, dass die Überraschung der Überraschung so groß sein würde.

06:23:01 On November 22, all 30 ships of the Task Force had gathered in Hitokapu Bay on Iturup Island. Six aircraft carriers, two battleships, three cruisers, nine destroyers, three submarines, seven oil tankers. The carriers had the following aircraft on their decks. 40 torpedo bombers armed with torpedoes, 135 dive bombers, 104 torpedo bombers armed with bombs,

06:23:29 129 fighters, 408 aircraft in total. There were many difficulties in planning this and what they actually experienced when they came across. One was the heavy seas, the pitching of the aircraft carriers during the weather for launch and takeoff.

06:23:48 Die anderen waren unter einem Radio Blackout, mit einem sehr minimalen Kommunikation, viel von Conning Tower zu Conning Tower, mit Lichtsignals und Flags.

06:24:19 The last radio message received by the Japanese staff from their assets of Honolulu came from a spy, Takeo Yoshikawa. The message read as follows. Vessels Morton Harbor. Nine battleships, three Class B cruisers, three seaplane tenders, 17 destroyers. Entering harbor are four Class B cruisers, three destroyers. All aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers have departed harbor. No signs of any changes in U.S. fleet or anything unusual.

06:24:46 The Japanese staff were disappointed to hear that there were no aircraft carriers at the base, but they did not cancel the operation. The ships were blacked out and set a course to Oahu Island at full speed. The famous signal flag Z was raised on the mast of the Japanese flagship, aircraft carrier Akagi.

06:25:09 The flag is one of the most treasured relics of the Japanese Navy. Thirty-six years prior, when this signal had appeared on armor-clad Mikasa, it symbolized the legendary order that Admiral Togo had delivered to his fleet before the Battle of Tsushima broke out. The fate of the Empire rests on the outcome of this battle. Let every man do his utmost duty. On December 7, 1941, that order was delivered again to every serviceman who set out on that dangerous raid.

06:25:37 In addition to an airborne attack by Japanese deck aviation, the Hawaiian Islands were also subjected to an attack by submarines deployed near Oahu Island. They were ready to destroy any U.S. ship that attempted to flee from the harbor during the aviation attack. Moreover, five of the Japanese submarines carried midget two-man submarines on their decks.

06:26:41 Hawaii, of course, remained in a state of blissful ignorance, and the parties continued on into the night. Even the radio station, if you happened to turn it on, was playing a series of light and amusing tunes. It was a Sunday and, you know, a lot of ships had actually been prepared before December 7th on Saturday for an inspection on Sundays.

06:27:12 A lot of the normally functioning battle spaces had been prepared for inspection and not necessarily being manned at the state that they would have been. So it was an unfortunate twist of fate.

Der Angriff auf Pearl Harbor: Überraschung, Zerstörung und die ersten Reaktionen

06:27:33

06:27:33 Privates Joseph Lockhart und George Eliot waren auf die Arme der Radar-Post auf Opana Mountain. Nach dem Ende der shift war, plötzlich ein sehr starkes Rückkehr wurde auf dem Display. Nur ein sehr starkes Airborne Group konnte diese Rückkehr geben. Es gab keine Zeit, um 7.06 Uhr zu erzeugen. Ein sehr starkes Signal, um 137 km aus, zu dem Watch Officer, ein Junglieutenant, an der Information Center.

06:28:00 Excuse me, Sir, this is Private Lockhart. I believe a large flight of planes are approaching slightly east of north of Oahu at a distance of about 130 miles. Lieutenant Kermit Tyler was told by an aviation friend of his, hey, if you ever hear the music playing at 3 a.m., it's because we're expecting an incoming flight of aircraft from the mainland. So when he got in his vehicle that morning to come to work, turned on his radio, there was music playing. Normally it would have been static because they didn't pay DJs to play music at 2, 3, 4 in the morning.

06:28:28 So he knew that they were using that as a way to allow incoming pilots to hone in on Hawaiian Islands, given the navigational challenges of flying 2,500 miles across the open ocean. Rather infamously, the officer told them it's most likely a flight of B-17s inbound from California. Don't worry about it. Thank you, sir.

06:29:21 Die Aviator-Aviator-Aviator-Aviator-Aviator-Aviator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator-Avator.

06:29:48 The targets of the torpedo bombers and Kate bombers were seven battleships that were moored in the battleship row near Ford Island. 51 dive bombers were ordered to bomb airbases Hickam and Wheeler and Ford Island. That airborne attack was to be supported by 43 Zero fighters. Apart from the aforementioned airbases, the fighters also had to attack airfields Ewa and Kaneohe.

06:30:18 At 7.55 Uhr, die Crews der Schiff waren bereit, um die Colors zu erwähnen. In Nevada, sie wurden mit der Schiff's Band geöffnet, 23 Personen, der Conductor. At 7.58 Uhr, die Conductor noticed die Aircraft kommen in über die Harbour. Shortly thereafter, die Line der Schiff war rocked von Unter-Water-Explosions. Nevertheless, an 8.00 Uhr, die Band begann die National Anthem.

06:31:08 The memories of those sailors who survived the attack describe that first terrifying assault the best. Aviation metalsmith second-class Adolf Kuhn on Fort Island. A Japanese pilot swooped down low in front of me where I could see his bomb bay doors open.

06:31:30 He released a huge bomb heading straight for my tractor.

06:31:52 Siegelmann 2nd Class Richard E. Burge, USS Tennessee. I watched the fleet destroyed right before my eyes.

06:32:22 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020

06:32:51 The USS Maryland anchored forward of us, took a bomb and its bow sank.

06:33:03 People often want to know what damage was received in the first few minutes of the air raid, and the answer to that is it was quite a lot. In fact, the surprise is one of the fundamentals of war, and the Japanese used that with overwhelming success. You have to remember this, the aircraft carrier had never been used before the way that enemy aviation was being used against the United States on December 7, 1941. So they didn't really feel like it was a practical...

06:33:32 Es war die Möglichkeit, dass eine Erborene attacken gegen Oahu war. Es war Raid Planner und 1st-Wave Commander Mitsuo Fuchida, der den Signal von Tora, Tora, Tora, zu den Carrier Akagi. Der Signal hat zwei Dinge gegeben. Erstens, eine komplette Überraschung hat. Und zweit, World War II hat sich in den Pacific gespandt.

06:34:26 7th December 1941, 0758. Der folgenden Text wurde über alle Säge in der Hawaii. Es wird dann, of course, auf den Kommandern von den Atlantischen und Asiaten und der Kommandern in Washington, D.C. Air Raid auf Pearl Harbor. Das ist nicht ein Drill.

06:34:44 Ich war vier oder fünf Meter in der Jell-Mess, als der erste Torpedal hit. Es war eine Explosion, die ich nie vergessen werde. Der Geräusch war ein sehr gut-muffeltes Blast. Man konnte es sehen, dass es tief in den Boden des Schiff war, als der Schiff aufgerufen wurde.

06:35:04 Ich glaube, es wäre nicht weit entfernt, dass es 24 bis 30 innen ist. Meine Legs haben fast gebrochen, und ich habe mich aus den Armst, um zu vermeiden, zu den decken zu vermeiden. Ich habe nicht fallen, aber ich hatte mich selbst, und dann wusste ich sicher, dass es kein Drill war. Der Tag der Infamy kam. Ensign Adolf D. Mortensen, USS Oklahoma.

06:35:31 At 8.10 a.m., when the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Admiral Husband Kimmel, arrived at HQ, the main forces of his fleet had been already forced out of action. Admiral Kimmel and Admiral Short had a golf match planned for later Sunday morning. So...

06:35:48 Er war wahrscheinlich, wie alle anderen, völlig überraschend. Was ich am meisten interessiert in meiner Forschung, das passiert, als Admiral Kimmel zu den attacken, war, als er in seiner Headquarters sitzt, die überliegt Pearl Harbor hier. Er war die Decimation des Flusses. Und ein Spent-American-Anti-Aircraft-Round kam, kam zurück, pierdete die Fenster erhöhung durch.

06:36:16 und schüffelte seine weißen Uniform. Und er schaut nach der Zeit, und es ist reported, dass er gesagt hat, es wäre besser, wenn es mich verletzte.

06:36:30 By that time, three battleships—Arizona, Oklahoma, and West Virginia—had already been sunk. California was still afloat, but she was doomed. Maryland and Tennessee had been damaged by aerial bombs and were blocked by a ship that had been moored nearby and then ran aground. Nevada was hit by a torpedo, but she still attempted to start moving. Ships located on the other side of Ford Island were damaged as well.

06:37:00 Despite all that hell, the ship crews were organizing their defenses and opening fire in return. Man your battle stations was echoed amongst the fleet. So those that were available rushed to their battle stations.

06:37:21 Das ist eine meiner Lieblingsfragen, weil ein Amerikaner Priester, ein Schaplan, ein Religiös-Service-Member, war auf einem amerikanischen Schiff, und er hat gesagt, dass sie alle, praise Gott, aber bitte, pass die Ammunizierung. Also, ja, da war viel confusion an zuerst, aber nach dem initialen Attacken, die amerikanische Antwort war viel höher.

06:37:57 Das ist die USA-Oklahoma-Memorial. Jedes von diesen Kolumnen betreffend einen Säler, der nur auf dem einen Schiff wurde, auf der Morgen der 7.41 Uhr. Als die initiale Schocken und Überraschung der Attacken wurde, die Säler haben ihre Systeme und angefangen haben, zu kämpfen. Es gibt verschiedene Geschichten von Entfernung. Zum Beispiel, ein Säler über USS Maryland wurde in der Brigte für kämpfen die Nacht vor.

06:38:24 Well, they released them when the alarm was sounded and he started carrying shells up ladders until finally he collapsed to the deck unconscious.

06:38:37 Dory Miller, ein bekanntes Afrikan-Amerikaner, der die Nafie Cross bekommen hat, weil er auf die Brücke der West-Virginie wurde, um den Kapitän verletzten. Er wurde verletzten. Der Kapitän verletzten, um den Kapitän zu verletzten, von der Brücke zu verletzten. So Dory Miller dachte, hey, während ich hier bin, muss ich etwas machen. Er ging raus und begann eine Anti-Aircraft-Machine-Gun, die er noch nie hat.

06:39:09 The second attack started at 7.15 a.m. 54 bombers, 78 dive bombers and 35 fighters took off. 36 more fighters remained on the carriers to provide cover on Admiral Nagumo's orders. It was very important to the Japanese aviators.

06:39:36 dass sie die PBYs und Amphibious planes neutralisiert, um sie zu finden, um ihre Task Force zu finden. Die erste Bombe, die auf Fort Island wurde, um einen Hangar zu verabschieden, mit einem sehr grossen PBYs aus dem Fronten. Die anderen Begrüßen waren die Erfielder, weil sie nicht mehr Bombers oder die Luft geöffnet wurden.

06:40:03 Just one plane discovering where the Japanese fleet had launched the planes from would have been a catastrophe because then the US forces would know where to intercept them or to attempt to sink them.

06:40:33 Das Morgen in Hickam Field findete 12 B-17-Bombers, 12 A-20-Bombers, 30 B-18-Bombers. Die Japaner würden die meisten der Amerikaner auf dem Boden, entweder in den Hangeren, oder auf dem Feld selbst. Side-by-side, wingtipp-to-wingtipp, als ob auf Parade. Ein Amerikaner Pilot, der in den Luft war, wurde verletzt. Lieuten Kenneth Taylor und George Welch wurden verletzt.

06:41:42 Taylor und Welch kamen und kamen zu den Satelliten, von dem sie in den Maelstrom kamen und in den Maelstrom kamen, sofort auf die Aufmerksamkeit von japanischen Kriegen. In den nächsten zwei Stunden, die zwei Piloten wurden in den Krieg zu landen, re-arm, re-füllen und zurück in den Krieg. Nach dem Ende des Tages waren sie mit sechs Konfirmed Kills.

06:42:08 So in the second wave, the dive bombers were meeting heavy resistance. The anti-aircraft sites on the shore and also mostly on the ships had been supplied with their ammunition. Lockers had been finally opened and the sailors were looking up and marines were actually shooting with M1s and there was quite a resistance at the time. And as I said, the anti-aircraft fire was all over.

06:42:35 Die Oberhäden, in fact, war so viel, dass vieles war auf Honolulu, die Stadt. Und so, es war eine sehr schwierige Sache zu flyern. Und das ist dort, wo sie die meisten ihrer Verlangen haben.

06:43:02 Of course, es war nicht nur die Militärer der Falle victim zu den Raid. Einige Ziviler wurden auch verletzt. Ziviler involviert wurde, als dass die Ziviler nahe waren, dass die Ziviler nahe kommen, oder die Ziviler nahe aus den Vesseln, oder die zivilen von Feuer. Und sogar in diesem gibt es viele historische Folgen. Pennsylvania war in Driedog No. 1. Wenn die Japanese Dive-Bombers launchen eine Offensive auf der Battleship, ein Ziviler Kräne Operator kam zu rescueen.

06:43:29 Er dreht die Kräne an den Ränen der Dock-Wall und blockiert den Weg für Low-Flying-Enemy-Aircraften mit dem Kräne auf, thus forcing sie zu breaken auf an der Attack-Course. A bomb explodiert die Kräne, und es erinnert es. Aber die Sacrifice des Worker hat eine reale Unterschied. Die Battleship hat nur nur minor damage gemacht, und war still able to fire.

06:44:03 At around 10 a.m., the Japanese attack concluded. Their aircraft turned back and flew off to the north. The airplane of Captain Fukida stayed over Oahu Island for some time, so the pilot could take photos of the U.S. base after the attack.

06:44:27 A devastating strike was inflicted on the US Pacific Fleet on December 7, 1941. Out of eight battleships, none remained in service. Arizona, West Virginia, California and Oklahoma had been sunk. Nevada had run aground. Pennsylvania, Maryland and Tennessee were heavily damaged. Light cruisers Helena, Honolulu and Raleigh had also received damage.

06:44:54 und wurden für eine lange Zeit verabschiedet. Die Däuner und Kassin wurden verabschiedet. Schaar war stark verabschiedet. 174 Arme und Naval aircraft wurden vollständig verabschiedet. 121 mehr aircraft wurden verabschiedet. Einige von ihnen wurden später verabschiedet. 3,581 Menschen wurden verabschiedet oder verabschiedet als resultat der attack.

06:45:21 Die Japanese Squadron verloren 29 aus den 350 Flugzeugen der Task Force. 55 Piloten wurden verletzt.

06:45:36 Oftmals hören wir über bestimmte Dinge, die wirklich zu einem mehr totalen Verkäufer für die Japaner. Und einige davon sind das, dass sie nicht die Tanks in der Luft haben, dass die Anführungsgeräte, die eigentliche Anführungsgeräte waren, dass die Anführungsgeräte, die eigentliche Anführungsgeräte waren, war zu sein. Wie wir jetzt wissen, eine kurze sieben Monate später, sie verletzten die Anführungsgeräte auf die Japaner Fläche in Midway, auf vier von den sechs Anführungsgeräte.

06:46:05 die eigentliche attacken Pearl Harbor. Und die dritte sind, dass sie nicht die actualen Shipyard haben, wo sie verabschiedet und verabschiedet wurden. Ein paar Stunden später, US Experts waren bereits für die Weg zu verabschieden den Sunkern von Pearl Harbor. Almost alle der Battleships, except für Arizona und Oklahoma, wurden plötzlich verabschiedet. Die formeren zwei war zurück in den Sunkern, als erst in Februar 1942.

06:46:41 Five weeks after Pearl Harbor, at 17 years old, I joined the Navy. I went through Training Center in San Diego and wound up in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. My first job was on the salvage crew, salvaging the sunken ships that were sunk. I worked for 60 days without stopping, 10 to 12 hours a day, cleaning up, removing ammunition.

06:47:08 Standin' by while they picked up bodies and never did let us young boys fool with the bodies, thankfully. But we were right there to witness all of this.

06:47:27 The strike on Pearl Harbor agitated the nation. That the Japanese were able to attack the Pacific Fleet over thousands of miles of open water drove home to Americans that they could no longer feel safe, protected behind their ocean barriers. That day, young men would present themselves to recruiting stations for service in the armed forces. Civilians started patrolling the western coast armed with personal rifles. The next day, December the 8th, President Roosevelt addressed Congress seeking a declaration of war.

06:47:56 His words were met with a thunderous applause. The American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

06:48:15 Yangnama correctly determined that the effect of the attack and its effect on the US public would be enough to dissuade them. Unfortunately, because of circumstances and how it was presented to the public, it was more of a surprise attack in the US public.

06:48:39 Untertitelung des ZDF für funk, 2017

06:49:31 This is USS Missouri, 2nd September 1945. It was on this ship, starboard side, 01 level by the number two turret, that the unconditional surrender of Japan was accepted. 902 General Douglas MacArthur starts the proceedings with a small speech. It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that from this solemn occasion, a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past.

06:50:01 We are gathered here, representatives of the major warring powers, to conclude a solemn agreement whereby peace may be restored. World War II ended that morning. In 1998, the ship upon which that final signature was applied to bring the war to a close was relocated to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

06:50:28 Sie ist jetzt nur 460 Meter entfernt von dem die Krieg begonnen hat für die Amerikaner, mit dem Sinken von einem anderen Battleship, der US-Arizona. Die Geschichte der US-Involvement in der Weltwahr II hat sich vollständig gedreht.

World of Warships: 6. Jahrestag, neue Inhalte und zukünftige Entwicklungen

06:51:19

06:51:19 That year World of Warships got even bigger and bolder. French, Japanese and Pan-Asian cruisers set sail. Italian destroyers and new British battleships joined the fight. And to top it all off, players witnessed the arrival of superships with special abilities that shook up the seas like never before. Ladies and gentlemen, hello and welcome to Waterline, the show where we give you insight into what's coming to World of Warships in the next quarter.

06:51:47 Ich bin Mr. Conway und wie immer mit mir ist mein co-host, Mr. Krizantos. Danke, Mr. Conway. Und Happy Birthday to everyone watching here, denn World of Warships is celebrating its 6th Anniversary on September 17th. Wir haben viele Aktivitäten planned für euch, und natürlich, ihr werdet ihr an extra Super Containers, Festive Tokens und so weiter.

06:52:13 You can find all of that information in our portal publication that will come out close to the anniversary activities. Thank you for staying with us for such a long time and we hope that you're going to enjoy this episode.

06:52:31 Our first topic of the day is game modes. As you know, over the years we've tested and played many different game modes with you, but one of the ones that stood out was asymmetric battles from last year. If you'll remember, we had a different lineup of ships and tiers on each side of the battle, making it a very interesting experience. We thought this merited a second go, so we've gone back, we've made some changes, we've made some improvements and tweaks, and we think you're going to like this new iteration.

06:52:58 Wir haben auch gearbeitet in eine komplett neue PVP-Gamemode, called Convoi. In dieser Mode, eine Team muss sich in den S-Cort zu protecten, die Convoi aus der Botschaft zu einem bestimmten Ort, während die andere Team muss zu stoppen. Die ersten Feedback für dieses Gamemode war sehr gut, und wir hoffen, dass ihr sehr viel Spaß habt.

06:53:23 Let's talk about the next Tech Tree Line to come to World of Warships after the release of Soviet aircraft carriers. We are going to be introducing a full alternate branch of German battleships. They're going to have drastically different gameplay, they're going to follow along more lines of ships like the Flont or the Borodino and be a full line of battlecruisers from Tier 3 to Tier 10. What makes them special?

06:53:49 They're German battleships, so they will still feature very strong secondaries, they will have more accurate main battery guns, they do feature hydroacoustic surge and long-range torpedoes. Now, since they're battlecruisers, they will have high speed with a decent concealment, but as a trade-off, they will have to sacrifice some armour and plating, so you will have to be a bit more careful how to approach the enemy.

06:54:17 They will rely heavily on you using those strengths, the maneuverability, the speed and the stealth to get up close and personal, wreck your enemies, retreat and do it all over again. We hope that you're gonna have a lot of fun with these ships and let us know what you think.

06:54:36 Ever since the first release of Super Ships to World of War ships, we've had lots of questions from you as to what will happen to Hannover and Satsuma now that the grand battle mode has ended. They were what-if scenario ships and they brought a brand new mechanic with them, the adjustment firing. We thought those were really interesting, we had good feedback from you and we are going to be iterating on this concept.

06:55:00 On top of the two Super Battleships you were able to play last time, we're going to introduce four new ships. We will have an American and a French cruiser plus a Japanese and Soviet destroyer. For each of these classes we will introduce a brand new unique mechanic that will set them apart from the regular ships that you know in the game. We will not be reintroducing the Grand Battle Mode, but rather focus on

06:55:29 A different experience that we had, e.g. with Ranked Battles featuring Arm's Race. So this is where we think these ships are going to shine and provide a cool gameplay experience for you in a different setting. We will be announcing how you can get your hands on these new super ships, what they're going to be called and what the mechanics are on the dev button in the near future. Keep your eyes open.

06:55:56 One of the biggest topics in 2021 in World of Warships was the introduction of submarines. For the past few weeks you've been able to test them on the live server in co-op mode and also in ranked battles, playing submarines but also playing against them. We wanted to thank you very much for providing us with a lot of feedback around this topic and you will continue to be able to test them in ranked battles until the end of the season. This is a very big step for us.

06:56:25 für die Game und für Sie. Es wird noch ein langer Weg geben, um sie zu beenden in der Game zu beenden. Wir wollen Sie auf den aktuellen Verhältnissen bleiben, und wir werden noch mehr Informationen über die Themen von Submarinen und die Themen in der Zukunft, hier oder auf der DevBlog.

06:56:46 We consider World of Warships to be a beautiful and an aesthetically pleasing game. A shout out to the Art Department, by the way. But we realize that there's always room for improvement. So we're happy to announce that this autumn is going to be a major overall of some very critical components of World of Warships graphics. We are going to be touching one of the most important things, which is water and all the related water effects. And in addition, we've got some other news.

06:57:12 Besides den fantastischen Veränderungen zu Wasser, wir werden auch HD-Maps geben. New Forests, hoher Texturen und in general hoher Detail auf Maps und Ports geben. Wir werden ein ähnliches Veränderungen geben, als die Veränderungen für die Lichter-Maps verbessern. So wir werden diese Vorstellung step-by-step für verschiedene Maps machen. Die ersten Maps können wir sehen sind 2Brothers und Hotspot.

06:57:41 Und die erste Part featuring diese neuen Facts ist die Philippine.

06:57:49 Last but not least, let's get back to one of your favorite topics. When can I get my hand on which new ship? We're happy to announce that in the near future we will be holding a special mission marathon in which you will be able to obtain Tier VI Soviet battleship Novorossysk. She may sound and seem familiar because she is in fact Giulio Cesare, one of three Conte di Cavour-class battleships that was transferred to the Soviet Union after the end of World War II.

06:58:18 Closer to New Year, we will also launch a new Dockyard Event, this time focusing on British warships. You will be able to construct the Tier IX British battleship HMS Marlboro, and as an intermediate award, a very famous ship is awaiting you. HMS Repulse, a renowned class battlecruiser. You can find all details about these ships on our dev blog.

06:58:49 Thank you very much for tuning in and watching this latest iteration of Waterline. We hope we were able to provide you with some interesting information as to what to expect in the next quarter. And as always, if you have any questions and you want some more information about what we've talked about today, you're always welcome to join us on one of our Thursday evening livestreams between 6 and 8 European time on twitch.tv slash worldofwarships. We would also like to invite you to our very special anniversary stream happening on September 17th.

06:59:19 Come and celebrate with us and go grab all of your Super Containers, Festive Tokens and Extra Award in this period of time. We hope you enjoyed this episode. Please keep in mind that all of this information here is not final yet, but we do want to share with you what you're planning to do. Have a great day, evening, morning, night, wherever you are, and see you soon. Bye bye. Action stations.

06:59:51 Crikey, g'day mates from Australia. Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow captains, 10 years and 9 months ago, I've been playing World of Warships since the early days of Alpha and Beta Tests alongside with my father. We love this gaming community. Three years ago, I've been a CC for World of Warships on the Asia region. The best highlight in February 2022 was having Bogsy on my stream, who invited me into the CC program on my birthday stream anniversary. I also do play...

07:00:19 Happy 10 Years, World of Warships community. Much love to you all.

07:00:48 Let's celebrate together and action stations. We had a lot of fun making videos to show that our developers enjoyed the game just as much as the community. It was the perfect way to bring everyone together for play. And of course, naval legends, covering heroic ships that etched their names into the history of the world's navies.

07:01:17 In the Canadian city of Halifax, a small ship is moored close to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. This is Corvette Sackville, and her history can't be separated from the history of the Canadian Navy as it rose during the most difficult years of the 20th century, the time of World War II, starting with the famous Battle of the Atlantic.

07:01:57 On September 3, 1939, two days after Germany had commenced their invasion of Poland, Great Britain and France declared war against the Nazis' Third Reich. Ten days later, Canada, as a British dominion, joined the war that historians would later name World War II.

07:02:22 At that time, the Canadian Army was small in number, and the Royal Canadian Navy had just 13 warships, with 1,819 personnel in total comprising their crews. Their naval forces had to be reinforced before everything else, because the main task for Canada was to sustain Atlantic communications.

07:02:43 In der Beginn des World War II, in der Canadian Navy, sie hatten keine Personnel. Woher wurden sie von? Die Personnel trainiert von der Merchanten Navy, von Bates und Ingenieuren. Ich ging nach Hause nach 17 Jahren, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein, um zu sein. Ich habe, natürlich. Ich war in viele Konvois über den Atlantik.

07:03:18 People donated yachts, and we painted these, some rich man's yacht gray, put a gun on it and a few depth charges, and they had to play the role of escort.

07:03:38 The English remembered the experience of World War I well, when the German submarines came close to blockading the British Isles in 1917 by declaring unrestricted submarine warfare. So, when the smell of gunpowder erupted over Europe again, the Royal Navy applied security measures to their transatlantic communications. Here, a huge role was played by small ships that found their prototype in the form of whaler Southern Pride.

07:04:06 Their construction began before the war, and it was exactly these ships that would resurrect a long-forgotten ship type, the Corvette. Winston Churchill, who had quite a good knowledge of naval history, wanted to bring back the name Corvette, which was a name for a small warship during the 1700s and 1800s.

07:04:34 Und es war ein Name, das nicht mehr genutzt wurde, für viele Jahre. Sie waren nach Antarktik-Wahling-Vessels. Und so, das Hull-Form wurde benutzt, aber man konnte nicht nennen sie Patrol-Vessels-Wahler-Type. Sie brauchten ein properer Name, und Corvette war ein Name, das wurde von den Namen gebracht. So, die Royal Navy entwickelt und realisierte den concepten von einem kleinen Escort-Ship. Sie waren easy und cheap zu bauen, manöverable.

07:05:02 und hatte eine gewisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisseisse

07:05:30 The shipyards on the east coast were not normally places where they built new ships. They expected and did repair a lot of war damage to vessels in Halifax and in St. John. She was the last one to be completed and was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy on the 28th of December 1941.

07:06:08 The main performance elements of Flower-class Corvette Sackville in 1942. Standard displacement, 950 tons. Length, 62.5 meters. Beam, 10 meters. Draft, 3.5 meters. Armament, 102 mm Mark IX gun. Anti-aircraft artillery, two Lewis .303 caliber twin machine guns.

07:06:35 QF 2-Pounder Mk. VI Hompom Anti-Submarine Armament 4 Mk. II Death Charge Throwers 2 Death Charge Rails with 40 Death Charges Main Propulsion Steam Engine 2,750 horsepower Top Cruising Speed 16 knots Cruising Range 3,500 miles at a 12-knot speed Crew

07:07:04 85 people. There was an initial order of 64 Corvettes very early in the war. There were 122 Corvettes built in Canada. Some served in the UK, some served in the American Navy and Coast Guard, in fact, as patrol vessels along the American Eastern Seaboard.

07:07:43 One of the first Corvettes going over, and we were sending some of them to Britain, and supposedly it had a wooden pole in place of a gun, because, you know, at that time we didn't have spare 4-inch guns. Now, whether it's true or not, I probably was.

07:08:10 After France capitulated, the Third Reich formed naval bases in the Bay of Biscay. From the second half of 1940, the Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine submarine fleet, Vice Admiral Karl Dönitz, actively used a tactic for counteracting convoy systems called Wolfpacks, which involved attacking a convoy simultaneously with the maximum possible number of submarines under united command. This tactic...

07:08:37 was used at the beginning of 1942 during Operation Paukenschlag. American historians would later call it the Second Pearl Harbor. Allies lost more than 60 vessels over the first three months of 1942.

07:08:58 So you can see it was devastating along the coast. And as a matter of fact, we had to sail independently from port to port to port. And one day, just to give you some indication how treacherous it was, in the spring of 1942, during the daylight hours inside an American land, I counted 14 ships laying on the ocean floor, sunk.

07:09:24 Das war 120 bis 140 miles. Aber da waren sie, parts der船, vielleicht die Masse, aus der Wasser, aus der Funnel, aus der Superstruktur. Es ging erst nach dem Stern, die Bauer, aus der Wasser. Und es war ein schönes Passenger-Cargo-Ship, das Liste badly war. Abandone, in der Fire. Plane ging all über den Topf. Das war so, wie das Scenario war, auf der Amerikaner Coast in 1942.

07:09:52 During the day, you had a rangefinder in your hand. You could find out the distance to the next ship. Nighttime, there were no lights. No lights at all. So you just keep a good lookout. And you could hear engines or you could see the ship. Then you fall back. Call down to engine room to say, reduce speed. You know, we're getting too close to ship ahead.

07:10:25 Es konnte nicht sehen, nicht sogar eine Cigarette. Sie sagen, wenn es eine Cigarette gibt, die U-boatsen sehen würden. Later auf, die German Wolfpacks waren für ihre Targets in der Caribbean Sea, über die Panama Canal und sogar in der South Atlantik.

07:10:48 One of my voyages, my very first voyage, as a matter of fact, we were sent from half of the way across the Atlantic down to Brazil. We did not know that Germans had sent U-boats to Brazil, where there were no convoys and very few warships. So they would pick us off, and we were torpedoed off the coast of Brazil. And the ship...

07:11:16 Ich fahre es und fahre es 15 Minuten. Aber ich bin glücklich, um zu überleben und in einem Lifeboat zu leben.

07:11:38 In the darkest hours of the Battle of the Atlantic, the main protection of sea convoys, primarily in the northern part of the ocean, was provided by these small ships, Sackville and her sister ships. The Flower-Class Corvettes were initially thought to be just coastal escorts. However, as the war went on, it was necessary for them to operate in the open ocean and escort convoys across the Atlantic.

07:12:07 Sie waren gute Seaboats. Die Corbettes waren gut Seaboats, aber sie rollen in jeder Art Seaway. Sie waren nicht zufrieden, aber sie waren sicher.

07:12:25 Cheap and nasties was how Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain, briefly but aptly named these ships during the war. He was right. Serving on the corvettes wasn't comfortable at all. It was impossible to stop perishable food on board, so sailors lived on preserved food, canned meats and potato powder. Instead of the 50 crew members that the ships were designed to accommodate, 85 personnel served on each corvette.

07:12:53 Die Menschen, die frei von ihren Däumen, in den Lockern und Tafeln, oder in allen anderen darken und etwas warmen Plänen. Aber das war ein Far Cry von der schlimmsten Teil ihrer Service. Mein Zusammenhang mit den Flowercast Corvettes war, dass es in heavy weather war, eine hellige Runde war. Sie waren einfach so, wie das. Ich würde sagen, sie waren in der Luft, 40 bis 50 feet und wieder, in heavy weather.

Erlebnisse und Erinnerungen aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg

07:13:20

07:13:28 Terrible weather. The weather was one thing in the North Atlantic. It was very much... It was always wither, as you could see. And then there was fog, as well as rough seas. As soon as we finished our lookout watch, we just laid down on top of some... There were some potatoes, bags of potatoes in the structure on the upper deck. And it was out of the weather, and you just laid down and slept to your next...

07:13:57 Watch or you try to sleep. They would go up and down between waves. Where is he? Upward!

07:14:08 Ja, und natürlich, alle seaseckten hier. Viele junge Menschen waren nicht verwendet. Sie fühlten sich ziemlich wunderschön. Und dann, nach ein paar Tagen, du beginst zu sagen, ich muss mich über das, weil das nur ein 3-Jähriger ist. Was wird es wie ein 14-Jähriger sein?

07:14:42 The crews of the first corvettes in 1940 were formed of young guys who had entered the naval service because of its romantic and adventurous appeal, but they often hardly knew a thing about life in the Navy. These ships were headed by reservists, officers of merchant ships who had impressive sailing experience, but little to no naval experience. Both sailors and officers, after a short drill, had to undertake practical training right in the midst of war.

07:15:10 Tens of thousands of young Canadians from across the country who were recruited into the Navy served in ships just like Sackville. It was their first introduction to going to sea.

07:15:27 Anyway, from there we went to the Azores and then we joined the Conway going to Ireland. I had my first taste of Guinness' Stout. Because I was only a kid, you see. I was probably the youngest lad aboard the ship. You had to be, I think, 19, I think, or 20 to draw rum. And so you'd have a G on your card.

07:15:56 But if you were not that age, you didn't get your grog each day.

07:16:04 So anyway, I went to this first time in an Irish pub, and I asked for a glass of Guinness. In those days, they sort of ticked the barrel a bit and opened the bigot, and the thick Guinness sort of slowly slid into the jar or glass. So anyway, that's one of those silly things that you remember.

07:16:35 Und diese Volontäre, aber wieder, sie waren jungen und sie waren in der Erwärmung und sie waren bereit, um mit den schlechten Konditionen zu kommen. Sie sind alle sehr stolz, sehr stolz, um ihre Sache zu machen in der Krieg.

07:16:49 At that time, the Flower-class ships were nicknamed the Pekingese of the Ocean. In ancient China, where this breed originated from, Pekingese dogs, which are similar to tiny lions, were thought to be small guardian spirits. During the entire back of the Atlantic, from 1939 to 1945, the Flower-class corvette sank or assisted in destroying 52 German submarines. Losses among the Flower-class ships amounted to 29 corvettes.

07:17:18 Diese kleinen Corvettes waren, um uns zu protecten und attacken U-boatsen. Aber manchmal, sie wussten, dass es eine U-boat war, bis sie ein Torpeeter-A-Ship war. Oh mein Gott, BANG! Oh, da muss man ein paar Enemies hier sein. So sie haben sie zu hören. Aber Sie sehen, die Deutschen sind sehr smart.

07:17:42 Sie warten bis nach der Nacht, und dann in der Nacht bringen sie die Submarine auf der Surface. So die Sonar ist nicht so gut, wenn sie auf der Surface sind. So dann, sie holen sich ein Tank, ein Tank, und dann wird das BOOM! Und dann wird der Massive Flamme und all die Crew werden sterben in Sekunden.

07:18:04 So, das ist wie sie den ganzen Konvoi aufbauen. Ich sah ein Schiff aufbauen wie das, ja, und ich werde nie vergessen. Du denkst, oh mein Gott, es war über 40 oder 50 Leute, die sich jetzt wegziehen.

07:18:20 Another terrible sight I saw was where a ship carrying iron ore, when Sears torpedoed, went right down. No chance to send a message or anything, just right down. Because the ore is so heavy, when the torpedo opens up the side of the ship to great water pouring in, it just takes the ship right down. That's another bad thing.

07:18:47 When ships got torpedoed and the oil tanks were opened up and there was oil all over the place and men were covered in oil. Very bad. Some people didn't survive because the accommodation collapsed and they were stuck inside, they couldn't get out. Oh, ****, yeah.

07:19:20 Sackville also had to join the vicious fights against the Wolfpacks. It happened in August 1942. The Corvette was escorting convoy ON-115 when it was attacked by two submarine Wolfpacks near the shore of Newfoundland. I wasn't afraid of submarines because I could not see them. You didn't know where until BANG!

07:19:47 Then, in August 1942, on her own and without air support, due to thick fog, Sackville spotted German submarine U-43 on the surface. Sackville heavily damaged the sub with death charges when she was in the process of submerging. The next day, the Corvette attacked another submarine, U-704, when the latter was submerging for an attack on a convoy. The sub was forced to retreat.

07:20:14 After a couple of hours, the Corvette detected U552 with sonar. That sub wasn't able to flee without taking damage.

07:20:25 A 4-inch shell von Sackville hit the conning tower of the submarine, and after she had submerged, Corvess dropped a depth charge. The submarine, headed by famous and skilled commander of underwater warfare Eric Topp, miraculously survived after taking severe damage and managed to return to base. The resolve of Sackville's crew played a crucial part in the convoy losing just 2 out of 41 ships.

07:20:51 Diese Corvettes waren hier, um uns zu helfen. Und wenn ich in eine Konvoi mit einer Corvette war, würde sie kommen und nehmen uns aus dem Wasser.

07:21:10 Als der Krieg ging, die Schäuern waren zurückgezogen. Sie waren mit Giro-Compasses, besseren Sonnars, Radar. Foksel, die Vor-Kassel, wurde gestandet aft, um zu erhöhen, die gebraucht wurde. Und es hat auch die Schäuern geschehen, und hat die Schäuern geschehen, und hat die Schäuern geschehen, wie die Hedgehog, die gebraucht wurde.

07:21:49 However, at the same time, there were a lot of new ships being built, and certainly ships such as the river-class frigates that were built in Canada were basically greatly improved versions of the Corvette. At the beginning of the war, up until 1943, they didn't have such good equipment. Now, later on, they got good equipment. They also had more aircraft cover.

07:22:14 Er machte ein paar Merchand-Ships in die Air-Craft-Carriere, indem sie ein Deck auf den Topen legen. Die U-Boats mussten sich nicht auf die Seite halten. Sie können nicht auf die Seite sitzen und sich ausfüllen.

07:22:32 In the first half of 1943, the Battle of the Atlantic reached a breaking point. Qualitative and quantitative growth of the Allied anti-submarine forces resulted in a major reduction of convoy losses. During the next year, in 1944, Germany would lose their bases on the Atlantic coast, and the losses of German submarines would become catastrophic.

07:23:02 All these factors resulted in a dramatic cut of the Wolf Packs. By the middle of 1943, submarines could no longer move so freely in the northern Atlantic.

07:23:15 By the end of the war, we had one of the biggest navies in the world in terms of numbers of ships. So I was very proud of that being, you know, being just a small, tiny little part of it. But it was good to see when you saw you were in a squadron of Canadian ships or you ran into ships at sea and flashing back and forth to them. It was good to see.

07:23:41 In January 1943, Sackville underwent major repairs. In April, the ship returned to service and continued escorting convoys in the Atlantic Ocean until August 1944. However, the Canadian Navy couldn't complain that they had nothing to do until the very end of the war. During the last days of the war, it was especially honorable to escort ships of the capitulated foe. The German Admiral had been instructed by the Allies.

07:24:11 all German submarines were to come to the surface, fly a black flag and proceed to the nearest Allied base. That was the idea. The message came telling our squadron commander to take the five Canadian ships and intercept. There were 15 German submarines proceeding south. So we

07:24:39 Wir haben die deutschen Submarine geschlossen, und wir senden einen unserer Ausgaben zu den deutschen deutschen Ausgaben. So, irgendwie, sie geholfen und wir haben diese 15 deutschen U-boats geholfen, zu Wach-Aribau, Scotland.

07:24:59 A lot of people have never seen a U-boat, you know, oh, maybe they saw just a little bit of one. And suddenly 15, and it was pretty rough in the North Sea, so the Germans at Conning Tower say half of them would be up, and half down disappeared. And the submarines that were down were up, and the other ones were down.

07:25:36 By the end of World War II, the Royal Canadian Navy had more than 1,000 ships of different types, and around 100,000 people out of the 11 million population served on them, almost every 10th Canada citizen. They were great sailors.

07:25:55 Sie waren sehr gut. Wir respekteten die Canadian Navy und die Air Force war gut, auch. Sie kamen und schauten über die Convoys und schauten für U-boats. Sie waren sehr gut. Oh, sie waren großartig, ja.

07:26:19 After modernization, Corvette Sackville was remade into a training ship, and she was sent to the reserve when the war ended. In 1952, the ship was converted into a research vessel for the Department of Marine and Fisheries. She was used for over 40 years after the war as a very useful, cheap and nasty ship to do a whole range of tasks. And for that reason, she was kept and became the very last.

07:26:49 Today Corvette Sackville ist nicht nur ein Museum ship moored at the Pier in Halifax.

07:27:08 Sie ist ein Symbol der Werteilung der Royal Canadian Navy, der all die jungen Leute, die in den Krieg auf diesen kleinen Schiffen gemacht haben, und ihre Beitrag zu den Allied Krieg in der Battle des Atlantik. Die Krieg der Battle des Atlantik war von den Corvettes, die mannen von Canadianen Seamen. Das ist das, was die Kredite ist. Sie verdient es. Sie verdient es. Sie verdient es. Sie verdient es. Geschichte wird dir das.

07:27:58 Happy birthday World of Warship! And in French we say joyeux anniversaire.

07:28:22 historique de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et je trouvais ça très important d'en parler à travers le jeu. Alors un fun fact sur moi, je pense qu'on peut parler de la soundboard qui a été faite à mon intu. Encore merci à la COMFR qui est toujours attaquée là-dessus. Et je souhaite enfin conclure sur un dernier joyeux anniversaire à toute l'équipe Wargaming, à la communauté, en espérant de belles batailles, de belles victoires, et du fun sur les futures années.

Entwicklung und Gameplay von U-Booten in World of Warships

07:28:48

07:28:48 World of Warships took naval battles to the next level. Even bigger was the official debut of an entirely new ship type, submarines. These stealthy and cunning hunters, armed with signature acoustic homing torpedoes, could dive beneath the waves and strike from below. The first researchable lines came from the United States and Germany, bringing a whole new style of gameplay and fresh tactics. Both for daring submarine captains and those learning how to counter them.

07:29:49 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020

07:30:18 The hunt is on. They are stealthy, cautious and extremely dangerous. You've probably already guessed that the topic of today's video is submarines. Find out how to play the new ship type and how to oppose them right now.

07:31:12 Submarines können in einem von drei verschiedenen Staten in der Krieg sein. Diese Staten haben verschiedene Kapazitäten in jedem Staten. Sie können zwischen den Staten mit den C- und F-Keyen. In der Surface-State, Submarines können mit der vollen Geschwindigkeit fahren, restaurieren die Dive Kapazität, die notwendig ist, um unter der Wasser zu bleiben, und verabschieden die Keyen. In diesem Staten, Submarines sind der größten Vulnerable und sind leicht zu detectieren.

07:31:40 Let's now dive to the periscope depth. Submarines are harder to detect in this state, and they keep their capability of moving at full speed. At this depth, submarines can spot enemies from a similar distance to the spotting distance by aviation. Surveillance radar is useless against submarines at the periscope depth. However, there are other means to detect a submarine.

07:32:05 Die Radio Location Skill, für example, will still show the direction toward a submarine. The last state is Maximum Depth. Hier, you can be spotted only by other submarines using submarine surveillance and surface ships when their hydroacoustic search is activated, but only within a 2 km radius.

07:32:28 At the maximum depth, submarines can see ships that have been detected at a distance between 8 and 10 km on average. In this state, it's easier for submarines to retreat in case of danger or to attack targets that have been already spotted. It's important to note that submarines can't capture key areas when at the periscope or maximum depths. In addition, these states consume dive capacity. When this parameter reaches zero, the submarine begins to surface automatically.

07:33:10 Regardless of a submarine's diving position, her primary armament will always be torpedoes. Tier 6 subs are armed with torpedoes that have acoustic guidance. At higher tiers, tiers 8 and 10, they additionally have alternative torpedoes. Acoustic torpedoes deal minor damage and have low chances of causing flooding.

07:33:34 Their primary advantage is that they home in on their targets. To lock on a target, you need to hit an enemy with a sonar ping before or after launching the torpedoes. Upon hitting an enemy ship with a sonar ping, a sector on the ship's hull will be marked for some time. Acoustic torpedoes will home in on this exact sector. Hitting the same part at the enemy hull with a sonar ping again will prolong the guidance timer and make the guidance more effective.

07:34:01 If a subsequent sonar ping hits another part of the enemy ship, the guiding sector will move to the new spot. Several ships can be marked with a sonar ping simultaneously.

07:34:11 However, torpedoes launched after a sonar ping has been emitted will home in on the last, marked sector. This sector will be prioritized for launch torpedoes and will bear a special symbol. Acoustic torpedoes remember the priority sector even if another enemy is marked with a sonar ping after the torpedoes have been launched. Torpedoes with acoustic guidance are effective against maneuverable and lightly armored targets. But you should also take into account that it's harder to hit such enemies

07:34:40 mit einem Sonar-Ping. Keep in mind that enemies can see when submarines emit Sonar-Pings. A visual effect for Sonar Emission appears above the submarine. This means that the enemy will always be aware of your presence when you use homing torpedoes. As for the alternative torpedoes, they are similar to those that can be found on surface ships. These torpedoes can't be guided with Sonar-Pings, and they deal higher damage than their acoustic counterparts.

07:35:09 Submarines can launch alternative torpedoes only when surfaced or at the periscope depth.

07:35:20 All in-game submarines come equipped with a variant of Damage Control Party that has a limited number of charges. To detect enemy ships, submarines have hydrophone and submarine surveillance. The former consumable shows the locations of surface ships and submarines at the periscope depth and on the water surface, and it also highlights the seabed relief. The submarine surveillance consumable detects enemy submarines at the maximum and periscope depths.

07:35:48 Enemies that have been detected by it will be visible to all Allied ships. In addition, US submarines have enhanced rudder gears, which speeds up the process of shifting gears and switching states. German submarines can utilize reserve battery unit, which temporarily disables expenditure of dive capacity, as well as its replenishment in the surface state. When new ships appear in the game,

07:36:16 Es ist wichtig, dass sie beide zu spielen und zu verstehen, wie sie zu schützen. Das ist auch für die Submarine.

07:36:22 If your ship is hit with a sonar ping, you can reset its effect by utilizing Damage Control Party. But don't rush to do so immediately after the first sonar ping hits. Wait until acoustic torpedoes come closer to you before activating the consumable. Note that acoustic torpedoes cease to home in on their targets while still some distance away. At this point, they start moving along a straight-line trajectory. That's why more nimble ships can evade torpedoes with just timely

07:36:52 und ohne die Waffe zu benutzen. Almost all ships in der Game haben Death Charges. Destroyers und Subcruisers attack enemy Submarines mit der Utilisung an-Bord Death Charges. To deploy this Weaponry, ships need to travel above the probable Submarine Location, then press the appropriate key.

07:37:13 Most other ships are equipped with depth charge airstrike. It works the following way. When battleships and cruisers activate this armament, a targeting reticle for the airstrike appears. You will then need to choose the preferred release area and click the left mouse button. After a short while, a group of anti-submarine warfare aircraft will arrive and drop depth charges in this area. Aircraft carriers have a variant of depth charge airstrike that activates automatically when any submarines,

07:37:42 oder signs of their presence, are detected within its area of effect. These signs include the effects of using sonar pings and fuel spillages on the water's surface that are left in the wake of a damaged submarine. Moreover, submarines are most vulnerable to different types of ammunition when they are surfaced or at the periscope depth.

07:38:02 Even a shell that falls close to a submarine can deal splash damage to her, but direct hits obviously inflict greater damage. Captain, submarines are ready to take their place on the same stage as all other ship types in the game. Batten down the hatches and prepare to dive.

07:38:23 Hello everyone, I'm CyberFix and I'm playing World of Warships since 10 years. I joined the C program two and a half years ago. I play every game about random battles ranked or competitive, but my favorite time every year is when we play King of the Sea. Enjoy the 10th anniversary and I hope that we will play for another 10 years World of Warships. Goodbye.

Historische Schlachten und neue Schiffe in World of Warships

07:38:50

07:38:50 2022 continued the game's tradition of blending history with imagination. That year introduced a new storytelling format, the What If episodes. They explored alternative versions of key moments in naval history, what might have happened if the fates of iconic ships had taken a different turn. These episodes were a reminder that naval history isn't only about what really happened, it's also about the exciting possibilities of what could have been.

07:39:20 4 German battlecruisers, 6 lightcruisers, and 22 destroyers are ordered to conduct reconnaissance at Dagerbank tonight. All available battlecruisers, lightcruisers, and destroyers should proceed to the rendezvous point. Latitude 55 degrees 13 minutes north, longitude 3 degrees 12 minutes east. With the estimated time of arrival being 7 o'clock in the morning. If you spot the enemy, attack them.

07:39:59 Dogger Bank ist eine große Sandbank in der Nordsee, über 100 km aus der Nähe des Englanden. Die See-Depth hier ist von 15 bis 36 m. Dieser Bereich, rich in Fisch, wurde ein Battleground zwischen den Briten und den Deutschen Navien auf Januar 24, 1915.

07:40:19 The Germans assumed that British fishing trawlers were transmitting data about the movements of their fleet. The German High Seas Fleet conducted a raid on Dogger Bank to put a stop to it. It was initially planned for early January, but heavy storms prevented it from taking place. Thus, battlecruiser Vondertan was sent for scheduled short repairs, and the 3rd Squadron of the latest Kaiser and Koenig-class battleships departed for combat training in the Baltic Sea.

07:40:48 But January 23, 1915 brought good weather. The same evening, the first reconnaissance group consisting of Zeidlitz, the flagship of Rear Admiral Hipper, battlecruisers Moltke and Dörflinge, and armored cruiser Blücher headed out to sea together with the second reconnaissance group. Lightcruisers Stralsund, Groudens, Rostock, and Kohlberg. They were accompanied by destroyers of the 5th and 8th Flotillas.

07:41:22 Room 40, a special cryptanalysis section, was established in the British Admiralty in late 1914. With its help, the British managed to decipher German radio messages and learned about the imminent raid.

07:41:39 Significant forces of the Grand Fleet were engaged in the operation. The first, Lion, Princess Royal, and Tiger. And second, New Zealand and Indomitable, battlecruiser squadrons left Rosythe for Dogger Bank. They were accompanied by the first lightcruiser squadron, Southampton, Birmingham, Nottingham, and Lowestock.

07:41:59 Three light cruisers Aurora, Arethusa and Undaunted, and three destroyer flotillas, the 1st, 3rd, and 10th, sailed out from Harwich, a total of 35 ships. If the Germans had sent battleships to support the cruisers, the British would certainly have found out and prepared a response. And the battle, if it had happened, would have followed a completely different scenario.

07:42:30 At 7.05 Uhr, Jan. 24, British light cruiser Aurora spotted a three-funnel cruiser and four destroyers. The cruiser responded to the light signal to identify itself at first, then suddenly opened fire. It was Colbert. During the short duel that ensued,

07:42:48 She hit the British cruiser with three shells and took a couple of hits as well. A few minutes later, cruiser Blücher reported that she had spotted several British light cruisers and destroyers. An hour later, Blücher, which was at the rear of the formation, used her main battery guns to drive off the British destroyers that had approached within close range.

07:43:11 The Germans soon saw numerous clouds of billowing smoke on the horizon. At 7.35, Hipper gave an order to turn to the southeast and send a radio message requesting support from the main forces of the High Seas Fleet. The British battlecruisers have started to give chase. The British had an advantage in speed since the Germans couldn't sail faster than Bluche. Bluche's top speed was only 23 knots. Soon, she was within firing range of Beatty's battlecruisers.

07:43:42 Kipper ordered his ships to change their formation so as to meet the enemy with fire from all guns. The battle commenced at 8.52.

07:43:53 If German battlecruiser Wunderthahn hadn't gone for her planned repairs, she would certainly have taken Blücher's place. The Germans would have been able to break away from their pursuers and safely flee. Three British battlecruisers shelled Blücher from 9.05 to 9.24. Then Lyon switched focus to Dörflinge. At 9.35, British Admiral Beatty ordered each of his ships to shoot at the opposite enemy ship in line.

07:44:24 A 343 mm British shell pierced Zeitlitz's deck, Hipper's flagship, and exploded, hitting the armor of the aft turret barbette. As a result of the explosion, powder bags in the handling cordite compartment were set ablaze. The powder blaze burned the compartment, the aft turret, the next compartment, and the second aft turret. 159 people died. Both turrets were incapacitated.

07:44:50 If it hadn't been for the decisive actions of three sailors led by Corvette Captain Hagedorn, the executive officer of the ship, who opened the emergency flooding valves of the magazines, Seidlitz might have sunk.

07:45:06 At 10.45 Uhr, Brüche hatte zu schlauern und begann die Battlecruisers zu fallen. Nach ein paar Minuten, die Schiff hat die Schiff verloren und begann, um sie zu der leften, in eine Cirkel zu gehen. Meanwhile, die Schiff hat die Schiff auf Lyon geführt. Die Schiff hat 15-17 Mal getötet. Bei 10.55 Uhr, sie hat die Head der Formation verloren und begann, um sie zu gehen.

07:45:29 The British battlecruiser took on 3000 tons of water and was listing 10 degrees to her port side. Soon, the port side turbine failed and her speed dropped to 15 knots. The ship was left without electricity.

07:45:43 Lühe received one hit after another. The armored cruiser started losing speed and a strong fire raged in her middle section. In an attempt to provide assistance, Admiral Hipper ordered the destroyers to attack the British battlecruisers. At that moment, however, the British thought they saw the periscope of a German submarine and they turned north to avoid a possible torpedo attack. Hipper considered this maneuver a trap and he decided to return to base at 11.10.

07:46:12 If Hipper had kept on trying to save Blücher, the British would most likely have destroyed his entire squadron. The German cruisers shelled the British until 11.14. Over the last ten minutes of the battle, Lyon took seven more hits. Owing to a false report of a fire in the powder magazines, the artillery magazine was partially flooded.

07:46:35 Nevertheless, the British commander gave an order to pursue and attack the retreating enemy battlecruisers. But other ships misunderstood the signal from the flagship, and the remaining battlecruisers focused their fire on Blücher.

07:46:53 If they had continued the chase, the outcome of the battle would have been even less predictable. Four British battlecruisers would have been in pursuit of three German ones. And given that the Germans scored a higher number of hits compared to the British, 22 versus 6, victory could well have turned into a defeat. Left alone, Bluche managed to damage one destroyer. At 11.38, after taking two torpedo hits from cruiser Arethusa,

07:47:21 The ship ceased fire and, at 1145, hauled down her colors. Control of the ship had already been lost, and she was on fire. Her gunfire control systems were destroyed, and most of her artillery wasn't functioning. At 1213, the German cruiser rolled over and sank. The British rescued 281 German sailors.

07:47:48 This battle ended in a decisive victory for the Grand Fleet. The Germans lost armored cruiser Blücher, and battlecruiser Zeidlitz was heavily damaged. The battle claimed the lives of around 1,000 German sailors. The British suffered far fewer losses. Battlecruisers Lion and Tiger, as well as one of the destroyers, were seriously damaged. 14 people were killed, and 29 people were injured.

07:48:18 Let's try to recreate this battle with Wunderstand, imagining that she wasn't sent for repairs and substitutes Blücher in the formation. Thus, the Germans have four battlecruisers in the echelon left formation against four British battlecruisers in the same formation.

07:48:35 How might the battle have turned out under these circumstances? The German concept of more armor and collision protection structure but lower speed and smaller gun caliber versus the English one of higher speed and larger guns but less armor. The British fire one to one. Each ship fires at the enemy in front of her in the enemy formation. The Germans fire, focusing on the leading ship.

07:48:59 Until she sinks, stops, or is unable to continue the battle. Then they switch to the next target. The firepower of the British is 15,784 kg. That of the Germans is 11,485 kg.

07:49:17 The German squadron noticeably loses in this parameter. In addition, the diamond-shaped arrangement of the main battery turrets on most of the German light cruisers will affect the number of guns per salvo at certain course angles. Will the German skill, accuracy, and armor top the English speed and firepower? Whose tactics will prevail? Focused fire can seem to bring results at first glance. Let's arrange the ships according to the battle scheme.

07:49:48 Replace those that are unavailable in the game with their sister ships or close analogues, and slightly decrease the distance between the opponents. Not all participants of the reconstruction in World of Warships are capable of firing over the 16-17 km range at which the battle was largely fought. Of course, we can't take all the real parameters into account, but we'll compare the advantages and disadvantages of the tactics of the British and German squadrons.

07:50:18 So, everything is ready for the test. The ships are lined up opposite each other. The players have all the same instructions given by the Admirals in this battle. The players can't use consumables or change course. Armor versus firepower. Off we go. The German-focused fire bears its first fruits 42 seconds after the first salvo, and English battleship goes under.

07:50:53 The second one follows her a minute later. And then the third. The British substantially battered the two leading German battleships. They even managed to sink one of them, but it took them more than four minutes. The last British ship stood no chance. What conclusion can we arrive at? Focusing fire on one target at a time, as long as you can handle it, brings victory.

07:51:30 Of course, history doesn't have a conditional tense. But it's still interesting to wonder what if. Stay tuned for new episodes.

07:51:47 British submarines, European destroyers, Pan-American and Spanish cruisers, new Japanese battleships. 2023 saw a whole fleet of new ships making their mark in World of Warships, with fresh voyages and battles. But there was also plenty of room for fun, like trouble in the hot tub. If it floated, it was in the fight. Ahoy everyone! This is Developer Diaries, and it's the first episode of the show from our new office in Belgrade.

Besondere Ereignisse und Spielmodi in World of Warships

07:52:17

07:52:20 In today's episode, we're going to present you Battle Ducks. That's right. Don't be surprised and don't think that the developers have lost their marbles during the moon. Just remember that April 1st is on the horizon and that means that we're preparing to have some fun with the return of our suitably observed Bathtub Battles. Let's dive in.

07:52:53 Can you tell us what this event is about? This is about yellow rubber ducks fighting in a large bathtub. Some of our players may already be familiar with this Jacuzzi map and fun battles there. Last time around it were toy ships. Now this will be yellow rubber ducks. How did you come up with this idea of rubber duck battles? I'm actually surprised we did not come up with it earlier. When I think of bath time, yellow rubber duck is the first thing that comes to mind.

07:53:25 Und wie diese Ducks sind mit in-game Schiff? Ihr Typischer Rubber Duck ist ziemlich round in Form, und Rund Schiff sind nicht besonders gut in Sailing Anywhere. Ich bin jetzt über Rund Schiff, da waren einige in der Geschichte. Wir versuchen, die Ducks Schiff zu adjustieren, damit es besser respektiert mit dem Typischer Schiff. Und wie sieht ein Duck aus dem Inside?

07:53:49 Es ist eine gute Sight-Armor, Deck-Armor, Turret, Citadel und alles, was die Warship sollte haben. Und was für die Turret? Es ist die Heide, natürlich. Du kennst, ein Duck kann seine Hände an unglaublichem Angeln, so wie alle Böden. Und was für verschiedene Ducks? Man kann die Battleship-Ducks, Cruiser-Ducks und Stereo-Ducks, alle sehr familiärer Klasse mit einem familiärer Gameplay. Und wie kann man zwischen diesen Ducks differenzieren?

07:54:18 Sie werden unterschiedlich in der in-game UI bezeichnet. Und gibt es noch Tipps für uns? Wo sollen wir aimieren? Alle Ducks haben Weak-Stern Armour, also sollte man gut schießen von hinten. Battleshot Ducks haben sehr stark, impenetrable Front Armour, aber sie haben Weak-Sights, also sollte man einen Citadel schießen von der Seite. Will da werden diese Ducks guns?

07:54:44 Und jetzt werden sie die Wasser-Dropläte aus ihren Beaks spüren. Einige Ducks werden besser durch die Armour verletzieren, andere werden die Flüge verletzieren. Und die Ducks haben noch neue Armaments? Wir haben die Mänen in diesem Event erwähnt. Alle Ducks werden die Mänen verletzieren. Sie werden auf dem Wasser bleiben, aber immer gefährlich sein. Also sollte man vorsichtig, wenn man einen Rival-Duck befindet.

07:55:13 No Torpedos? Oh, Destroyer Ducks will still have Torpedos. So now you understand that our Ducks will be armed, dangerous and ready to show how loud they can quack. However, the participants of our BAFTA in battles don't have the story. We still need to visualize the battlegrounds properly as well. To be more precise, the very BAFTA where our Ducks will be sinking each other. For this event only, the game will feature the new Hot Tub map. What's that? We'll tell you right away. Come with me.

07:55:51 Was ist dieses Mal? Unsere Experten als Kapitän kennt dieses Mal aus einem alten Event. Er ist auf April 1, als er eine Party auf diesem Battle-Map ist. Was ist die Grund für deine Inspiration? Wir sind aus ein paar Karten, Filme und Serien, und die meisten von ihnen ist ein Bad Advice-Kartoon, unser Lieblings-Kartoon.

07:56:26 Ist es noch etwas interessantes, was du zu sagen? Erstens, wir haben einen gewissen Charakter aus dieser Serie. Almost all of them. Diese Isle wird ziemlich cool. Und das Innenstädte dieser Runde mit Beths wird Spaß gemacht. All diese Kombination werden die Spieler immer wieder in unsere Serial- und Spaß gemacht in April-Event. Schauen Sie sich an den Anfang an, auf jeden Fall und auf den Spanien. Und ...

07:56:53 Will this map feature any specific gameplay? Yeah, of course. Two teams fight each other in a battle. There is a three inter-crossing base, circling, forming a sword triangle. The teams fight on this triangle and Ducks can use torpedo shells and new mining and crash mechanics. And will these Ducks have any special visual features?

07:57:22 Ja, alle Dach haben spezielle Features in der Look, weil, wie ich vorhin gesagt habe, wir inspirieren etwas aus dem Film oder dem Cartoon. Und wir haben spezielle visualen Dinge, auf jeden Dach. Was ist die Easter Eggs? Ich kann es für unsere Spieler empfehlen, dass die Augen aus dem Start des Basel zu halten.

07:57:50 Und wie ist das Wasser? Das Wasser hat sich absolut verändert. Das Wasser ist nicht nur für die Größe des Oceans, sondern für die Größe des Busshubs. Und es ist absolut clean. Sie hat es gesehen, Fischie hat es viel Spaß zu machen, wie ein kleiner, rubberer Dug in der Bühne. Und haben Sie veränderten andere Physik in der Spiel?

07:58:15 Wir haben noch ein paar Rubber-Lag-Properten, so das neue mit dem Dacken ist, dass die Dacken von einem anderen auf die Ereignisse ist. Du kannst jetzt auch die Angelegenheit in den Manfields pushen. Das ist alles. Das war der erste Developer Diaries episode von der Office in Belleville. Spiel mit uns, schwarz auf die Bathtub, whack Valiently und win! Good luck, Captains! See you next time!

07:58:52 Japanese culture cherishes an important concept, Mayabi. It means to polish one's craft and remove all impurities until one reaches the highest form of elegance. One look at the Japanese battleships and you'll notice this idea permeating their design and firepower. They are deadly machines in the form of pure elegance.

07:59:12 The Japanese Navy has welcomed three new members to their proud battleship fleet. Tier VI – Yumi Hari Tier IX – Adetara and Tier X – Mongo These notable new ships have just left early access, allowing players to research them in the tech tree. Captains who love playing Japanese battleships are going to particularly love the new additions to the nation's fleet. Let's see what unique playstyles they bring to the table and how you can benefit from them best. Feast your eyes on Yumi Hari!

07:59:43 Diese船 war die Pinnacle des Designs in den Anfang des 20th century. Nach der Russisch-Japanischen Krieg, die Japanische Regierung sette out zu bauen, eine neue Reihe von Schiffen als Teil des 8-4-Fleet Programme, von 1916 bis 1918. Sie war die Produkte von einem verbesserten Design, based auf Kongo. Aber nach ein paar Veränderungen zu der Original Idee und der Erdition von einem 5th Turret, die Amagi-Klasse-Ship war. Die Majesticen Atatara und Bungo waren supposed zu werden,

08:00:12 der Existung Plan in der 8.8 Flugprogramm, aber ihre construction wurde verabschiedet wegen der Auskunft der Washington-Naval-Konferenz. However, diese Spiele haben neue Leben in World-of-Warships, das bedeutet, dass man die Brilliance ihrer Design in Virtual Sea-Battles kann.

08:00:31 Like all Japanese battleships, the three new ships excel when it comes to their main battery artillery. They boast large caliber guns with a high firing range and quite good accuracy. Yumi Hari and Atatara have damage output that's slightly on the lower side due to the fact that they carry eight main battery guns, while Bungo can inflict significant damage with their ten main battery guns.

08:00:54 These battleships fire highly effective HE shells that are perfect for long-range attacks, but their AP shells have low penetration characteristics. Nevertheless, you should switch to them when your opponent is showing their broadside. Be sure to aim for the Citadel. As for their secondary gun damage output, we can say that it's pretty decent overall.

08:01:19 The advantages of these Japanese battleships are additionally enhanced by a unique consumable that's characteristic of this tech line, High Precision Spotter. This consumable not only increases the firing range, but also boosts the ship's accuracy. What sense these beauties apart from their same-tier counterparts are their concealment stats. You will have to take advantage of this as these battleships have small HP pools, and their armor is nothing to write home about.

08:01:48 There is a reason they received the Battlecruiser moniker. You have to play them more carefully, as their survivability is on the lower side for a battleship. Chances are that you'll often be using your damage control party and repair party consumables.

08:02:03 An additional problem for this line of ships is their poor anti-aircraft defenses. Just like other Japanese battleships, Yumi Hari, Adetara, and Bungo are easy targets for aerial assaults. You might get tempted to replace High Precision Spotter with Fighter to boost their AA defenses. However, this would mean missing out on the awesome advantage of the unique High Precision Spotter consumable. It's better to bolster your anti-aircraft defenses by sailing next to teammates who can shield you from aggressive aircraft.

08:02:33 Finally, all three ships sail at quite an average speed, but they do perform in this respect slightly better than their Japanese battleship peers.

08:02:43 All three ships will make good use of the following list of upgrades. Slot 1 – Main Armaments Modification 1 Slot 2 – Damage Control System Modification 1 Slot 3 – Aiming Systems Modification 1 Slot 4 – Damage Control System Modification 2 Slot 5 – Concealment System Modification 1 Slot 6 – Main Battery Modification 3

08:03:07 As for Commander Training, any skills that improve the ship's survivability are bound to help. Be sure to invest some skill points into Emergency Repair Specialists, Consumables Specialists, Gun Feeder and Concealment Expert. You also can't go wrong with Adrenaline Rush!

08:03:24 From all the characteristics we've listed, it becomes apparent that players should avoid close quarters combat skirmishes due to the ship's low HP and vulnerable Citadels. Conversely, they shine in medium and long range combat due to their concealment stats and exceptional firing capabilities.

08:03:40 Position yourself in the right spot, and don't hesitate to back off if you come under fire and things are getting hot. You can inflict a considerable amount of damage with effective HE shells from a distance, but if you find yourself in enemy crosshairs in close combat, switch to AP shells and gun for the Citadel. Don't wait any longer. Log in to World of Warships, where these magnificent ships are waiting for you.

08:04:04 In 2023, players celebrated Halloween in style with a special The Last Voyage of Transylvania Operation, blending spooky atmosphere with naval action and marking the last operation of the series.

08:04:49 Tensions are rising again at the border between Light and Darkness. The portal to another dimension has opened once more, and the evil hordes are anxious to flood through it. It's time to return to the ranks of the Defenders of Light. It was a year ago when the Heroes of Light entered the Dark Realm and struck a devastating blow to dreadful Rasputin and his minions right in the heart of the enemy's lair. But the Black Lair Castle escaped destruction.

08:05:19 The Twilight Fleet was able to recoup its losses and prepare for a new invasion. The Elites of the Twilight Fleet are about to pass through the portal to Entenya one last time and destroy anything that stands in their way.

08:05:34 The Supreme Council of Intanya decided to resort to the power of mages. They were the ones who opened another portal between worlds to search for help in other realms. Humanity agreed to help Intanya. And so, a powerful international fleet has been assembled for the cause. Update 12.9 introduces a new Halloween operation called Last Voyage of Transylvania.

08:05:59 This is going to be the greatest battle against the Twilight Fleet. Only Transylvania is capable of finally destroying it. And for this purpose, she must transport specialized explosives to the portal. Your task is to escort Transylvania to her destination and protect her at all costs.

08:06:14 Just like in previous Halloween Events, the map is thick with the Filth, which eats away at your HP and makes your foes more resistant to damage. Using magic, Transylvania carves out a safe zone in the Filth that follows her. However, as the battle continues, her magic loses power and the safe zone will gradually diminish until it becomes minimal.

08:06:33 This Halloween, you'll be able to take part in the Special Operation Last Voyage of Transylvania at the helms of Tier VI through IX ships. Any ships you deploy for the cause will radically change in appearance. They'll receive a themed camouflage and special visual effects. Their combat characteristics will be adjusted, and special modifiers will also be applied to balance the characteristics of any ships that join the event.

08:06:56 Your team will receive a buff for each allied ship that founders, and by collecting shards of the Great Towers along your way, you'll enhance Transylvania's protection. Start celebrating Halloween 2023. Engage in a decisive fight against the forces of darkness.

08:07:24 Greetings Commandus, this is AF, one of the Asian CCs. I've been playing World of Warships since 2018. I joined the CC program two years ago, around the time AL Cheshire was released. I play a variety of ships, but Saipan has always been my favorite. It's challenging, but extremely rewarding. The best event of every year in my opinion is the King of the Seas Tournament. It's always great to see the best teams from around the world and their top tier gameplay. Happy 10th Anniversary World of Warships! Shenzhou Ning Kuai Le!

08:07:53 See you all on the 5s, take care and happy sailing. New ship branches give captains plenty to explore, adding even more variety to the global fleet of world warships. A brand new line of European destroyers focused on artillery also made its debut, with each vessel carrying the spirit of her navy. Together they introduced fresh strategies and playstyles for destroyer enthusiasts to master.

08:08:19 In World of Warships, there are some ships that demand a special approach. And the new European Destroyers are exactly such vessels. The newcomers specialize in artillery, but there are some nuances to that. We'll talk about the new ships as well as how to play them in this video. Be sure to watch till the end and you'll find out where their power lies.

08:09:00 European Destroyers, along with Pan-American and Pan-Asian ships, can be considered a combined team. Here we can see the ships that represent the naval forces of Turkey, Poland, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Norway. These countries ordered their destroyer projects from other maritime powers. So don't be surprised if you get a feeling of déjà vu when you see the newcomers.

08:09:24 As we mentioned at the beginning of this video, European destroyers specialize in artillery. The ships of this branch possess rapid-firing 120mm, 139mm, and 140mm guns. At the same time, they fire only HE shells. This ammunition type can deal serious damage for such ships. But at the same time, it doesn't have the highest armor penetration values.

08:09:49 The main battery gun traverse speed of European Destroyers isn't the greatest either, but upgrades and the appropriate Commander skill will help improve the situation.

08:10:18 As for torpedo tubes, they usually serve as secondary armament for artillery destroyers. The same is true for the heroes of our video. Their torpedoes have average rain parameters and low damage values compared to those of other destroyers. At the same time, just like European destroyers of the first branch, the newcomer's torpedoes have impressive speed characteristics. For example, Tier V destroyer Moivinette torpedoes can travel at 72 knots.

08:10:46 Und die von Tier X-Destroyer Gdansk kann schnell wie 86 knots gehen. Wenn Torpedo speed links die zwei Europäische Destroyer-Branches, Anti-Aircraft-Defense, auf der Contrary, clearly setzt sie apart. Zum Beispiel, Hallen kann sicherlich sein, wie ein True Threat zu Aircraft sein, aber Gdansk muss sich sehr vorsichtig sein, wenn sie von oben attackieren. Europäische Spiele haben nicht die höchste Concealment-Charakteristik, oder.

08:11:15 However, due to their specific combat characteristics, which we'll talk about later, we still recommend improving this parameter.

08:11:22 For example, the aforementioned Gdansk is visible to opponents from 9.1 km with their base characteristics. But with a Concealment System upgrade and appropriate Commander skill in place, this parameter can be reduced to 7.3 km. Our introduction to the new branch would be incomplete without checking out their consumables. Their basic set includes Damage Control Party, Smoke Generator, and Engine Boost.

Taktische Überlegungen für europäische Zerstörer in World of Warships

08:11:48

08:11:48 Starting from Tier VI, you'll also find Surveillance Radar. The operating range of this consumable is 9 km, and it has a modest operating time of 10 seconds and fairly fast base cooldown time of 1 minute. Now it's time to take a short break and look at the optimal set of upgrades to make the European Destroyers truly comfortable in battle. European Destroyers are rather unusual artillery ships.

08:12:27 They aren't so effective as, for example, Kleber or Delmi, which can use their maneuverability and speed to avoid hits and still deal damage. They don't have sufficiently good concealment to alternate between stealthy torpedo attacks and shelling the enemy from advantageous positions under a smoke screen, as, for example, Japanese artillery destroyers do. The European ships have no repair party. They also don't have a special hit point distribution scheme like the French ships. The newcomers also aren't the most maneuverable.

08:12:56 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020

08:13:17 And secondly, when operating in certain parts of maps, always analyze the opponents around you. Your worst enemies are artillery destroyers with good concealment, rapid-firing cruisers, and ships with surveillance radar.

08:13:31 If you find yourself in their sights, you'll most likely lose the lion's share of your health and may even be sent back to the port. However, if the aforementioned opponents are not nearby, or at least if they aren't focusing specifically on you, then you can try deploying a smoke screen, selecting an enemy, and implementing your firepower.

08:14:00 Keep in mind that you should use the surveillance radar of European destroyers tactically and in certain situations. For example, when you're detected by a stealthy destroyer. Here, the principle is quite simple. For example, with upgraded concealment, Tier X destroyer Gdansk is visible from 7.3 km, and the effective range of her surveillance radar is 9 km. Consequently, if detected, the European ship will certainly be able to spot a stealthy approaching enemy.

08:14:29 The short action time will most likely prevent you from sinking the enemy, but at least you can definitely drive it off and transmit its location to your allies. An active radar can also help in situations where you need to finish off a badly wounded enemy that's trying to hide.

08:14:49 As for torpedoes, due to their speed, they can deliver plenty of surprises for targets that aren't expecting danger from beneath the waves. To conduct successful torpedo attacks, you'll need to anticipate the enemy's actions and take your high detectability into account. But why?

08:15:08 For example, a battleship that spots you will try to maneuver to avoid or minimize the number of hits. And taking into account the low damage of your torpedoes, such an outcome could safely be considered a failure. I won't beat around the bush. The newcomers are not the easiest ships to master. When playing them, you need to know the habits of your own ship and have a good understanding of what your opponents are capable of.

08:15:33 Battles at the helms of European ships always involve deep analysis of the situation on the map. But if you learn to understand the battle situation and use your ship where she's most needed, then the European Destroyers will become a formidable weapon in your hands. Show what you're capable of in World of Warships, Captain!

Naval Legends: Die Geschichte des amerikanischen U-Boots USS Bofin

08:16:08

08:16:08 Es ist safe zu sagen, dass 2023 ein Jahr in der Geschichte, Kultur und Kreativität kamen zusammen. Durch unsere Videos, die Community hat einen Blick auf die Leute hinter dem Spiel gesehen. Und natürlich, Geschichte war front und center. Eine Episode von Naval Legends erzählt die Geschichte der American-Submarine USS Bofin, die über 100,000 nautical miles über 9 Patrolen während der Welt. Das ist USS Bofin, einer der 120 Baleo-Klasse Submarine, die mit der US-Navy servisieren.

08:16:56 Sie hat ungefähr 100,000 nautical miles auf ihr neigen Patrollen. Ihr Kommandant-Officer glaubte, dass sie die Kredite für mindestens 34 große Säte. Sie und ihre sisteren Sub-Marinen patrolled die Pacific, und waren vor allem für die Verkäufe in der Pacific in World War II.

08:17:46 The outbreak of World War II revealed that the US Navy's pre-war doctrine of utilizing submarines wasn't really working. According to that concept, the submarine fleet's number one task was to attack hostile heavy warships and operate in conjunction with battleship forces, while counteracting merchant shipping was deemed a secondary role. The fleet submarine was called a fleet submarine because it was initially envisioned that it would be a scouting unit.

08:18:13 vor der Hauptsitzung der Hauptsitzung. Diese Taktik war ziemlich freundlich. Die Mariener waren nicht sehr gut in Midway und wussten, dass sie besser operieren, indem sie in den Markt zu retten, die Merchant-Legend-Sealings zu retten.

08:18:30 In order to operate in the Pacific, submarines needed good sea endurance to travel for quite a long time, disrupt enemy communications, and block routes to the opponent's mother country. All these goals were perfectly met by the US fleet submarine of Gato, Balau, and Tench classes. Specifications of submarine USS Bofin, SS-287, as of 1944. Length, 95 meters.

08:18:58 More than 8 m. Mean draft, more than 5 m. Submerged, 2,415 t. The sub has a double hull. Maximum diameter of the pressure hull, almost 5 m. Thickness of the pressure hull, more than 22 mm. Armament, artillery, Mk9 gun with a caliber of 102 mm.

08:19:22 Oerleichen Antiaircraft Autocannon mit einem Kaliber von 20 mm Bofur Antiaircraft Autocannon mit einem Kaliber von 40 mm Das ist Bofun's 5-inch 25-kaliber gun. Für die meisten der Krieg, submarines benutzt 4-inch 50-kaliber guns bevor das war entwickelt. Auf Bofun's 1st patrol, sie sank ein Barge mit 100 Troops anboarden, oft in cases like that, auf surface attacks.

08:19:49 Submarines would use their smaller guns, the 40mm and the 20mm guns. Torpedo armament, 10 21-inch torpedo tubes, 6 forward, 4 aft, 24 Mark 18 electric torpedoes, 533mm. Power plant, 4 General Motors diesel engines with a total power output of 5,400 HP.

08:20:11 Four General Electric Propulsion electric engines with a power output of 2750 HP. Two groups of accumulator batteries, 126 elements each. Maximum surface speed, more than 20 knots. Submerge speed, about 9 knots. Cruising range, surfaced, 11,000 miles at 10 knots. Submerged, 96 miles at 2 knots. Endurance, 75 days. The number of crew, 70 people.

08:20:42 Traditionally, submarines were named for fish or marine animals or mammals. Bowfin is a native to the United States brackish waters. It's a probably primitive fish, but it tends to sneak into shallow waters and conduct sneak attacks, ambush attacks, which is pretty aptly named for a submarine.

Kriegseinsätze und Taktiken der USS Bofin im Pazifikkrieg

08:21:09

08:21:09 Beau Fin was launched on December 7, 1942, so she had a nickname, the Pearl Harbor Avenger. She was commissioned in May of 1943. As soon as she was ready, she headed into the Pacific.

08:21:41 By that time, the US Navy submarines in this operations theater had been organizationally incorporated into two fleets. The submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet were based in Hawaii and operated in the northern and central parts of the ocean, including approaches to Japan. The submarine forces in the southwest Pacific were subordinate to the 7th Fleet, with their bases situated in the Australian ports of Fremantle and Brisbane, both in a ride there in August 1943.

08:22:17 Die erste Mission war, um Unrestricted Warfare zu machen, gegen Japan. Das war primarily gegen ihre Merchant Fleet, ihre Warships. Aber sie gaben auch andere Special Missions, wie Spatial Forces, insertert sie in Islands, die die Japaner wurden. Eine Submarine transportierte Gold aus den Philippinen, als die Philippinen wurden überrascht.

08:22:41 Und später in der Krieg, als ein number von Schiffen und Schiffen ausgebildet wurden, die Submariner kamen, um die Down-Aviator zu retten.

08:23:00 The primary combat use of submarines was sole anti-cruiser warfare in relatively large areas, both along communication routes and on approaches to enemy bases and ports. It should be noted that the commanders of US submarines preferred to act alone until the very end of the war. The entire ideology of their combat training was aimed at developing this skill. When we first went to war…

08:23:25 Wir hatten nicht wirklich versucht, um Unrestricted Warfare zu machen, und so es war ein bisschen zu entwickeln. Die Initial guidance war, um Submerz-Attack zu machen, um die Sonar-Bearings zu machen, um die Attacken zu verhindern, um die Inaccuracy von Sonar zu machen. Die Accuracy von Sonar war ungefähr 25-degrees, und man musste den Weapon in etwa 1-degere Accuracy, um eine Reasonable-Success zu machen.

08:23:53 From the middle of 1942, the Navy High Command began to request that submarines spend most of the time on the surface, conducting visual surveillance and taking advantage of their high speed. Going out, they were told to do all those things. It took them forever to get across the ocean. They only had a few days they could stay on station. And they came back, and those early patrols were not very effective.

08:24:18 The same Admirals, die ihnen zu gehen und tun all diese Dinge, dann kritisiert sie sehr harschlich, wenn sie zurückkommen sind. Given the low efficiency of spotting targets with Hydroacoustics alone, US submarines began to approach them using the Periscope, already in the first months of the war. Combat experience soon clearly demonstrated that preference should be given to daytime attacks using the Periscope, or night attacks from the surfaced position.

08:24:46 When the war broke out, US submarines had no devices capable of providing efficient surveillance of targets during the night and passing the data to the torpedo fire control system. It was only in late 1942 that special night periscopes and a bearing transmitter designed for nighttime attacks were put into service. And search radars were only massively introduced in 1943.

08:25:09 Thus, nighttime torpedo attacks, using radar data, started to be widely carried out only between 1944 and 1945. The snorkel system hadn't been adopted yet, so any time she was submerged under water, she was strictly limited by the power of her energy and her batteries. She'd only go about eight knots, but only for about an hour, at which point her batteries would be depleted.

08:25:35 Und du musst wirklich zurück auf die Übersetzung des Batterien zu schärfen und versuchen, zu rennen.

08:25:48 There was no atmosphere monitoring or control equipment, so you couldn't make oxygen and you couldn't remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. So over the time when submerged, the atmospheres got increasingly foul and really designed to be submerged during daylight hours, about 12 hours. Although I think both had a submerged period of up to 18 hours, but there were several submarines that were...

08:26:13 für einen Tag und einen halben Tag und sie waren wirklich extremis. Das war immer, wenn es submerged war. Das war in der Vor-Front der Kaptein, und das war eine schwere Grenze.

08:26:33 Thus, periscope attacks remained the main tactic for the commanders of US submarines in 1943. The ratio of launch torpedoes to successful hits was the highest among other methods at that time. In 1943, Gato and Valao-class submarines sank 131 Japanese ships using this method— 64% of the Japanese losses, with accuracy of torpedo attacks reaching 68%.

Erfolgreiche Patrouillen und strategische Bedeutung der USS Bofin im Pazifikkrieg

08:27:02

08:27:02 Auf August 25, 1943, Bofen verlangt die Australische Porte von Brisbane, um auf ihre erste Waffe zu gehen. Es war sehr erfolgreich. Sie schickte drei japanische Spiele, aber noch mehr wichtig war, dass sie ihre Mission gemacht hat, um die Spiele zu verlassen und equipment zu Philippine guerrillas und auch die 9 amerikanischen Amerikaner zu holen.

08:27:53 The Imperial Japanese aircraft were always on ASW Patrol. I think they had very good tactics in terms of outsearching. It was mostly visual that they were looking for.

08:28:09 If you were detected, you were pinned down fairly close. We really relied heavily on our radar to detect the planes early and then our lookouts. So the lookouts would rotate through positions. Our lookouts on the bridge, one of those was specifically tasked with searching the area of the sun. So he had special dark sunglasses so he could stare into the sun without burning out his eyes. But he was tasked to look because they would, once they sighted and avoided being detected,

08:28:38 They would try to make their attack coming out of the sun to make it difficult to see. The nature of warfare in the Pacific substantially differed from that in the Atlantic.

08:28:51 For a long time, the Japanese carried out their transportation missions in small groups of up to 10 ships with a weak escort. It was only in early 1944 that the Japanese began assembling their transport ships into larger convoys that tried to stay as close to shore as possible, taking advantage of the shallow waters that made submarine operations more difficult.

08:29:11 At the same time, the organization of anti-submarine defenses and escort missions was notably improved. Single ships became rare, while escort ships and aircraft received radars.

08:29:25 Die Japaner waren sehr lange für die Taktik der Anti-Submarine Warfare zu entwickeln, so sie hatten nicht viel Zeit, bis sie wussten, dass es ein echtes Problem war. Aber dann war es wirklich sehr lange. Sie waren immer, dass sie immer, advance, advance, advance, und sie waren aggressiv. Und wenn sie defensiv waren, dass sie ein Teil ihrer Kultur waren, das wirklich die Anti-Submarine Warfare war.

08:29:56 Thus, to counter the anti-submarine defenses in the Pacific, the Americans didn't need to concentrate such large forces as against the Germans and their wolf packs in the Atlantic. Only from late 1943, groups of three or four ships began to be assembled, but the coordination of their actions in a certain area consisted primarily of exchanging information, and they carried out separate attacks. It was typically a group of three boats would operate together.

08:30:22 But unlike the Germans, who were controlled centrally and required a lot of reporting, which our anti-submarine warfare forces were able to take advantage of, the submarines were left to pretty much operate in an area and develop their own tactics. Then they used very high frequency or VHF radio communications, which are short range, to communicate with each other, not having to call back to the central command.

08:31:00 Bofen ist schrecklich mit fünf Schäden auf der zweiten Patrol, mit einem 10,000 Tonnen Tanker. Für diese sehr erfolgreichste Patrol, sie bekommen die Presidential-Unit Citation.

08:31:12 During our first two patrols, Bofin completed many joint operations with another submarine, USS Billfish. Together they sought out convoys and sank enemy ships. On November 1, 1943, Bofin set sail for her second mission. In the early morning of November 26, the submarine resurfaced under heavy rain and suddenly found herself surrounded by Japanese ships.

08:31:40 The crew had to show miraculous skill to stay undetected and avoid a clash. Having secured the perfect position for firing, Bofin torpedoed and sank 5,000-ton tanker Agurasan Maru with several accurate salvos, and sent cargo ship Tainan Maru with a displacement of almost 5,500 tons to the bottom.

08:32:02 While the alarmed convoy was still attempting to locate the deadly threat, the submarine left the hunting ground. A few hours later, she found a new target. Her torpedoes reached a former French 700-ton coastal ship that had been captured by the Japanese two years prior.

08:32:23 Two days later, Bofin joined Billfish, and together they attacked another convoy. While coming under fire from Japanese ships, Bofin torpedoed transports Tonnenmaru and Sidneymaru, with a total displacement of 15,000 tons.

08:32:44 By the end of 1944, the Japanese shipping had been so decimated, there were very few torpedo-worthy targets. So late in the war, there were a lot of surface attacks with the gun action were engaged.

08:33:01 Most famously, the ship was one of nine ships that went into the Sea of Japan in June of 1945 through the minefields at the southern end of the Sea of Japan through Tsushima Straits. All nine of those boats went into the Sea of Japan. Both end crew members remember hearing mine cables going down the side of the ship, but they managed to get through unscathed.

08:33:28 The situation of the Land of the Rising Sun was deteriorating by the month. At the beginning of the war, Japan had 1,703 transport ships at their disposal for various purposes, but the losses of the Japanese merchant fleet doubled each subsequent year. The Japanese eventually capitulated, with less than half of the civil fleet they had four years earlier. As for the defeat of the Imperial Navy, excluding aircraft, it suffered its biggest losses precisely from U.S. submarines.

08:33:57 They even got to the newest Japanese battleships, Yamato and Mushashi. Damaged by submarine torpedoes, these ships would stay out of service for long periods. Mobilization-type submarines sank 13 times more Japanese ships than Japanese submarines did US warships. The losses of mobilization-type submarines during the war years reached 25 units out of 179 submarines of this type in service.

Nachkriegszeit und Museumskarriere der USS Bofin

08:34:28

08:34:28 Am Anfang von August 1945, Bofin left Pearl Harbor, dann setze ich auf eine Kurs für unsere Basis in den Mariana Islands, wo Bofin war zu starten, seine 10. War Patrol. Aber die Patrol war niemals beendet. Auf der Weg nach dem Patrolen, der Kapitän hat eine Message gesagt, dass Japan kapitulierte. Die War war vorbei, aber für Bofin, die Geschichte weitergeht.

08:34:59 As soon as Japan surrendered, she was turned back around here to Pearl Harbor. So in August, late August, she arrived back here in the Pearl Harbor. I can only begin to imagine how many ships and submarines were coming back into port, you know, with the news that the war was over. So Pearl Harbor was pretty overloaded and we already had a, our nation already had a demobilization plan.

08:35:24 Bevor die Ende des August 1945, Beau Finnen zurückgekehrt zur US-Mainland.

08:35:33 In Fall 1945, Bofin arrived on the U.S. East Coast. She served in the Atlantic Fleet until February 1947, and later was transferred to the Reserve. After almost 4.5 years, the submarine returned to service as part of an effort to strengthen the Navy. Bofin was transferred to San Diego, where she was used for training before she was sent to the Reserve the second time at the end of the Korean War in 1953.

08:35:58 In 1960, the submarine was transferred to Seattle as a training ship for the Marine Reserve. The submarine was finally decommissioned in 1971.

08:36:10 Bofin wurde verabschiedet, und sie fuhr aus hier in Pearl Harbor, in der Inactive Ship Facilität. Aber die Navy League hier und unsere Congressional Delegation, die ich jetzt rune, um die Bofin zu retten. Und in August 1979 wurde sie verabschiedet zu unserer Assoziation.

08:36:34 After a lot of hard work by volunteers, she was put here on display in April of 1981. And just last year, we had our 9 millionth visitor here in Beaufort. So Beaufort continues to serve our country well into her 70s.

08:37:34 I'm Lampak on Asia CC from South Korea.

08:38:01 아무튼, 앞으로도 계속 즐거운 경험을 모두 함께 보내시게 된다면 정말 좋겠습니다. World of Warships 10주년 정말 축하합니다. Happy Birthday, World of Warships!

Highlights und Neuerungen in World of Warships im Jahr 2024

08:38:12

08:38:12 2024 brought even more firepower to the seas. French destroyers, Commonwealth cruisers, Pan-American battleships and American carriers all joined the international fleet of World of Warships. On top of that, you had the chance to take part in the Allied landings in Normandy, experience brand new mind-blowing visual effects and have some fun with the Piñata Hunt event.

08:39:00 The Hunter's first rule is to be a team player. The Hunter's second rule is to always have a colorful package at the ready filled with something very sweet. The Hunter's third rule is to whirl around until he gets dizzy. The Hunter's fourth rule is to destroy the Piñata. The Piñata hunt season commences in World of Warships. Pick up your back and get ready for some unbridled fun. In celebration of April Fool's Day, we're introducing a new event starring the famous Piñata.

08:39:31 You'll find a separate battle type that will unfold on the brightly decorated Colorful Islands map, where you'll be tasked with hunting down the Piñata. Er, Piñata ship, that is. These battles will feature teams of 7, Tier VI, and IX ships. In total, three teams will take part in the battles. Yours, your opponents, and a lone Piñata. A battleship where aircraft carrier with substantially increased HP.

08:39:58 During battle, the Piñata ship will randomly take one of the eight preset routes across this comically colorful map. If the Piñata is destroyed, it drops a capture key area right where it sunk. This key area will gradually shrink to a minimum size.

08:40:15 To win, you must destroy the opposing team or earn 1,000 points. What happens if the Piñata reaches its final destination? It will explode with a uniquely colorful effect. When the player's ships are destroyed, they will also explode with a similar effect. Now, a few words about a special feature of these battles. Support consumables. We've created a new type of consumable with special effects and allocated a separate slot for them.

08:40:41 There are a total of 8 unique Support Consumables, but only 5 of them will be available for each Ship Class. Coordinated Emergency Repairs restores 1% HP per second to you and your allies and applies the effects of Damage Control Party to the whole team. Call Smoke Curtain creates a smoke screen in a specified area. Forced Stalemate slows down the Piñata's movement and prevents your team from losing points and the opposing team from earning them.

08:41:11 Call Patrol Bombers calls aircraft to a specified area to patrol it, as well as spot and attack enemy ships. Drop Minefield deploys a minefield in a selected area. Remember that you can destroy mines by using Depth Charges or Depth Charge Airstrike. Joint Fleet Maneuver speeds up Allied ships and increases their rudder ship time. Iron Curtain makes all ships on your team immune to all damage. Coordinated Fire increases damage inflicted to an enemy ship marked as a target for your team.

08:41:43 More information about Support Consumables can be found in our publication on the website. You can unlock Support Consumables by completing combat missions in Piñata Hunt, or purchasing them with credits. Similarly to Standard Consumables, you can freely choose between them in Port. At the start of each battle, only one charge will be available. You can get more charges when the Piñata loses 25%, 50%, and 75% of its total HP.

08:42:11 Each time it becomes temporarily invulnerable and leaves behind one Support Consumable Charge. That, when picked up, is applied to all Allied ships. To really get you in the mood for the fun ahead, one of 14 bright thematic camouflages will be randomly applied to your ship at the beginning of each battle. Fancy a colorful permanent camouflage for your ship? We've prepared Piñata Tokens so you can get one.

08:42:36 Earn these tokens by completing a Festive Chain of Combat Missions as part of the Piñata Hunt Battle Type. You can use these tokens to obtain the Licorice Swirl, Mint Drops, Cotton Candy, and Dumpling Permanent Camouflages, as well as the Rabbit Torpedo Patch and Piñata Special Flag in a dedicated section of the Armory. Celebrate April Fools hunting Piñatas in World of Warships, and keep the Piñata Hunter's motto in mind.

08:43:07 The best pinata is a destroyed pinata. Hi everyone, I'm ZeldaSauce, North America CC from Canada. I've been playing World Warships since New Year's Day 2021 and I've been a CC since January last year. It's honestly been one of the best experiences of my life. My favorite yearly event is probably the Azur Lane collab. As you can see, I'm wearing Takao's dress.

08:43:47 However, my all-time favorite event was the Star Trek TNG collab. It was incredibly fun teaming up together to destroy the Borg Queen and our space-themed ships. And I remember how excited everyone was cheering and laughing together. I also happily still use that port every day. I want to wish everyone in the community and the World of Warships team a happy 10th anniversary. I look forward to seeing what the future holds.

Ehrung der Marinegeschichte und Einblicke in die USS Iowa

08:44:14

08:44:14 In 2024, we continue to honor naval heritage. A major highlight was the historical stories of warships that sail in World of Warships and in real life live on as museum ships preserving history. A short Naval Legends documentary featured famous battleship Iowa, widely regarded as the pinnacle of American battleship design and one of the greatest ever built. All this reminded players that every ship bears not only firepower, but also a history worth retelling again and again.

08:44:45 In diesem Episode, Battleship Iowa, a trump card that was never played.

08:45:27 In den 1930s, der ganze Welt war über zwei Dinge verrückt. Swing-Musik und... ...Guns. Die Passion, die Politiker und Industrie-Moguls gezeigt haben, hat all die Signen von Gigantomania. Bei den Regeln der Regeln in den internationalen Kontrollen und Konventionen, oder einfach nicht, die Länder ständig bauten neue und unabhängige Systeme für beide Land und See.

08:45:56 Sie waren größer und stärker und stärker. Die Global Arms Race beteiligt die größte Technologien der Zeit und große Finanzkosten. In order to compete mit allen unseren Potenzialen, es war notwendig, um die Größe unserer船 zu erhöhen. So die IOWA war ein 45,000 Tonn-Battleship.

08:46:24 Die South Dakota-Klasse und die North Carolina-Klasse.

08:46:31 A battleship is basically a floating artillery battery, so her size directly depends on the size of her primary guns. The 16-inch main batteries on battleship Iowa, of which there are three, three turrets, each turret has three guns, everything about the ship design is structured around being a platform for the 16-inch guns.

08:47:00 Es ist wie Small Arms. Es ist ein commoner Verrückte, dass die Pistole erst erst entwickelt werden, und dann die Cartridge. Nein, die Defense Ministry immer orders die Cartridge. Das ist auch für Schiff. Die enemy hat 15-inches und 12-inches. Let's make 16-inches, weil wir bereits haben einige von den Technologien. Aber wir machen es nicht 40, sondern 50 Kalibers lang. Und sie machte eine 16-inches Gun.

08:47:29 So the ship was built to carry this particular gun. Key specifications of battleship Iowa. Total displacement, 57,540 tons. Length, 887 feet, 6 inches. Beam, 108 feet, 3 inches. Draft, 36 feet, 1 inch. Armament. Primary armament, 9 Mark VII guns in 3 triple turrets. Caliber, 16 inches.

08:47:58 Maximum range, 24 miles. Dual-purpose artillery, 20 Mk. 12 guns in 10 coaxial Mk. 28 turrets. Caliber, 5 inches. Anti-aircraft armament, 19 quadruple Bofors guns. 52 Oerlikon Mk. 234 autocannons. Airgroup, 3 Vort OS2U Kingfisher floatplanes.

08:48:26 During construction, Iowa's armor was declared higher than it actually was in order to mislead the enemy. The real specifications are as follows. Main belt, 12.1 inches. Main turrets, 7.2 to 17 inches. Conning tower, 7.2 to 17.3 inches. Main armor deck, 6 to 7 inches.

08:48:54 IOWA hat die größte Power Plant in den Battleships. 4 Geared Turbine Engines, mit 8 Turbines, produziert von General Electric. 8 Boilers, produziert von Babcock & Wilcox. Power, 212,000 horsepower. Maximum Speed, about 33 knots. Cruising Range, about 20,000 nautical miles, at a speed of 15 knots.

08:49:26 Battleship IOWA hatte eine sehr unikere Toll-design in der Bullnose. Und Sie können auch sehen, dass ihre Linien sehr tapered waren, fast aerodynamisch. Und das ist alles Teil und Teil davon, wie sie diese 57,000 Tonne Behemoth bekommen, bis zu 33 Nm. Das ist sehr, sehr schnell. Und man könnte sagen, es ist fast wie Powerboat-Speed. Sie wissen, sehr ungewöhnlich.

08:49:54 This became an important advantage later on during the war in the Pacific Theater. With a speed like that, Iowa could efficiently escort carrier task forces. They put about 140 20mm and 40mm anti-aircraft guns on the ship, and the carriers loved them because they were able to protect the carrier.

08:50:31 When Iowa was still under construction, the Americans realized that she would play a secondary role in battles against the Japanese fleet. Aircraft carriers were becoming the main striking force of the Navy, but a giant like Iowa played a worthy role in World War II.

08:50:49 Der Battleship IOWA wurde in der Mitte 1943 veröffentlicht. Its erste Mission war, dass die Nord-Nabell-Intelligence die Turpitz, die German-Battleship in den Nordatlantik kommen könnte.

08:51:09 The battleship Iowa was sent on an early mission north to block the Tirpitz. Suppose battleships Iowa and Tirpitz met in battle. Iowa had a higher speed, greater maneuverability, and longer range of fire.

08:51:39 Tierpitz würde versuchen, zu kommen zu Iowa, und Iowa würde versuchen, sich wegzunehmen. Manövering und Firing an Tierpitz von einem großen Distanz. Iowa würde definitiv gewonnen haben. Aber die zwei heavyweight-Warrieren haben noch nie gehört. So können wir nur vorstellen, wie ihre Duel enden würde.

08:52:21 Dann, auf der zweiten Mission, auf 12 Oktober 1943, war es um, ich würde sagen, carry Franklin Roosevelt über die Atlantik nach Nordafrika. Von dort, er ging weiter zu besuchen mit Churchill und Stalin in der Tehran Conference.

08:52:47 Roosevelt was onboard the ship for 15 days. When President Roosevelt came onboard, the first thing he saw was Vicky.

08:52:58 Now the first captain, Captain John McRae, brought the little dog home one day. And his wife looked at the dog and said, get that thing out of here. So Captain McRae took the dog and brought him on the ship. And President Roosevelt asked, who is this little dog? And Captain McRae said, well that's our little ship's mascot named Vicky.

08:53:24 So Vicky spent the whole 15 days of the Roosevelt passage in the cabin with Roosevelt. He would roll up, play tricks. While he wasn't very good as a sailor, he was very good as a dog. And Roosevelt really enjoyed Vicky.

08:53:53 In early 1944, battleship Iowa joined the United States Fifth Fleet, which operated in the Pacific Ocean. By that time, US forces were already attacking Japanese positions on various islands. The battleship's role was to provide fire support to landing troops and escort aircraft carriers during air raids on the Philippines, the Rukul Islands and Taiwan. The ship crisscrossing across a lot of these small...

08:54:22 die jetzt wirklich vergessen sind. In einem Moment, sie kamen, um zu unterstützen MacArthur's Landing in den Philippinen, in Leyte Gulf. Unfortunately, sie kamen die falsche Weise in Leyte Gulf und schafften eine japanische Führung von Japan, die wirklich ein Decoy für die Landing.

08:54:45 They came back, but a little too late to assist in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. They missed that one opportunity to maybe have had contact with the Yamada.

08:55:02 The two ships never met in combat, and both countries kept their capital battleships, shall we say arm's length, kept them a distance, because there was great political risk to having either one of the ships damaged severely in battle.

Vergleich der USS Iowa mit der Yamato und Nachkriegszeit

08:55:25

08:55:25 Die Japanische Industrie in diesen Tagen einfach nicht hat die Ressourcen, um zu bauen, in großartigen Nummern zu bauen. Die Lösung war einfach, um großartig zu bauen, zu machen, die größeren Säden der anderen Nationen zu machen. Super Battleships. Die Battleship Yamato ist der größten Battleship in der Welt.

08:55:52 Her Schell-Velocity was 2,600 feet per second, while its weight could be up to 3,300 pounds. Such a large gun could inflict very serious damage. The Japanese essentially broke the tree.

08:56:18 On the other side, the United States of America was simply building a ship that met the contemporary requirements of naval warfare and could easily, without any extra effort, be built by the American industry. During the war, the Japanese fleet could afford to build only two battleships, while the Americans were able to construct more and more new battleships.

08:56:52 The Americans were simply building another ship, and she turned out to be a good one.

08:57:06 The Iowa, I think, would have, of course I would probably say this, would have taken the day in a battle against the Yamato. She had very accurate fire control for a ship of the 1940s, and I think that would be an advantage for her, if they should fight such a battle. It was so accurate that in 1984, when they recommissioned the ship,

08:57:32 Sie haben das System existiert, selbst wenn sie modernen Computer hatten. Die IOWA konnte einen Rund sehr, sehr nah an den Tarketen, so genau, dass sie es nicht brauchten.

08:57:51 Iowa was the most dangerous enemy for a Yamato. If they had met at a range from 66,000 to 98,000 feet, especially in a 101 fight and in fine weather, Iowa would have no chance of winning. However, thanks to better radar, Iowa could fight in bad weather and at night.

08:58:18 Powerful guns, high speed, and precise radar made Iowa a formidable adversary. If these two battleships had fought each other, the victory would depend completely on the battle conditions. We could get in quick and fire, but then there's always the lucky shot.

08:59:08 The changing tactics of naval warfare increased the role of aircraft carriers and deprived Iowa of a chance to use its primary armament against surface ships. So the battleship used its firepower against the enemy's coastal positions.

08:59:26 On August 29, 1945, when the war was virtually over, Iowa stood side by side with her sister ship Missouri, and entered the Tokyo Bay as part of the occupation force. We were next to our sister ship the Missouri, and the Missouri of course is where Douglas MacArthur accepted the final surrender of the Japanese. Now, we like to say on the Iowa that had Roosevelt lived, that signing might have been...

08:59:54 auf den IOWA, weil er auf dem Land war. Aber Präsident Truman war von der Stadt der Missouri- und so der Signing war auf den Missouri. Ein sailor, der auf dem Trip war, sagte mir, ich fragte ihn, ob er sei, dass er nicht den Signing bekommen hat, statt der Missouri. Und er sagte, nein, nicht wirklich. Er sagte, die Krieg war über. Wir hatten wir leben. Wir waren zurück zu unseren Eltern und Kindern.

09:00:22 Und alle die Leute in der Missouri waren vorbereiteten eine Fotografie für Douglas MacArthur. Am Ende der Krieg haben wir eine große Menge von amerikanischen P.O.W.'s, japanische Prisonerinnen von der Krieg. Und wir haben sie nach Hause. Und wir sind durch die Golden Gate Bridge. Und die Krieg war vorbei.

09:01:15 Für ihre Service in World War II, die Battleship war mit 9 Battlestars. In 1949, Iowa wurde decommissioniert in die Reserve Fleet, aber zwei Jahre später, sie wurde re-commissioniert und senden auf eine Mission nach dem Coast der Korea. Die Battleship wurde nach Hause mit 2 mehr Battlestars zurückgegangen. Von 1958 bis 1984, Iowa wurde in Reserve gehalten, und nach Modernisierung wurde sie wieder zurückgegangen.

09:01:46 However, the events that took place in the late 1980s showed that battleships can also sustain losses outside of wartime. On April 19, 1989, the biggest tragedy that ever struck this ship occurred.

09:02:05 Der Schiff war ungefähr 400 miles oder so north von Puerto Rico. Wie ich verstehe, haben sie den Schiff in der Nummer 2-Türret gesammelt, in der Poudre, und sie waren über die Bremse, wenn etwas passiert. Es gab eine Explosion, die 47 Menschen töten. Das war die größte Verlust von der Schiff auf dem Schiff.

09:03:04 Having recovered from the tragedy, the battleship returned home and joined the reserve fleet. In 2001, 58 years since her launch by the New York Naval Shipyard, after she had crossed tens of thousands of miles and fired thousands of shells of the enemies, battleship Iowa was berthed in the port of Los Angeles.

09:03:31 Sie ist unigke, weil sie drei Karriere in der Navy hatte. World War II, Korea und die 1980s. Und jetzt ist sie ihre vierte Karriere als Museum chef.

Naval Legends: Die Geschichte des Kreuzers HMS Belfast

09:04:10

09:04:10 In dieser Episode, Cruiser Belfast, the keeper of the Royal Navy's grandeur.

09:05:05 In den Anfang der 1930er Jahre, die Britannische Admiratet wusste, dass Japan begonnen hat die Konstruktion auf den neuen Mogami-Klasse Light Cruisern, die überrascht die Briten der gleichen Art. In London war es als eine Herausforderung, und brauchte eine richtige Antwort. However, um einen wertvollen Angriff für Mogami zu schaffen, die Briten mussten zu erreichen, die Grenzen von internationalen Tretien befinden.

09:05:34 Mogami ist ein sehr erfolgreiches attempt von den Jepern, um etwas ihrer eigenen zu machen. Sie haben das geschafft. Aber die Kruisers Mogami empfiehlt andere Nerval zu breiten die Provision der Washington-Nerval-Triebe.

09:05:51 In 1934, British Shipyard started the construction of light cruisers, later named the Town Class, because all the ships were named after British towns. The further improvement of the project led to the appearance of the two most advanced ships in the class, Belfast and Edinburgh.

09:06:18 In comparison with other towns, they had better armament and a more rational armour layout. By many parameters, the British cruisers were on a par with foreign ships of the same type, despite the fact that they were inferior to their main rival, Mogami, in the number of primary armament guns, 12 against 15.

09:06:40 The British tried to even the score by developing new artillery systems for main batteries. They tried to install a four-gun turret on Belfast and Edinburgh, but the early trials showed that it became very tight. What does this mean? The turret was overcrowded, making the ammunition handling and firing too inconvenient. That's why they gave up on the idea very quickly. As a result,

09:07:06 Engineers settled for triple turrets that had a distinctive feature. To prevent the powder gases from affecting the shell's trajectory when all barrels fired simultaneously, the middle gun was moved backwards a little. The Belfast's firepower was reinforced with six coaxial dual-purpose artillery mounts, with a caliber of 4 inches. In general, the cruiser was well armed, and her bountiful artillery made up a good part of her displacement.

09:07:40 Kruiser Belfast was commissioned on the eve of war on August 3, 1939. But four months later, she had to return to dock. With the outbreak of World War II, Great Britain faced two parallel tasks. One of them was habitual, and the British were prepared for it. The second task was uncharacteristic and unusual. Let's start with the latter. It was the underwater war. The British weren't ready for it at all.

09:08:31 German U-boats wurden viele Probleme, aber die Briten konnten sie sinken. Insofern, die Royal Navy-Ships hatten ein anderes enemy, die Mines. Belfast kam auf die größte von ihnen, eine neue German-Bottom-Mine. In 1939, als eine Mine explodierte unter dieser Runde, sie versuchte alles so zu einer Art, dass sie fast die ganze Welt wiederholfen musste.

Technische Daten und Modernisierung des Kreuzers HMS Belfast

09:09:51

09:09:51 The specifications of Cruiser Belfast after the modernization of 1942.

09:09:59 613 feet, 6 inches. 66 feet, 3 inches. 23 feet, 4 inches. Total displacement, 14,900 tons. The power plant included four turbogear Parsons turbines and four Admiralty boilers and produced 80,000 horsepower. The cruiser's maximum speed reached 31 knots after the modernization.

09:10:28 Armour. Main belt 4.5 inches. Decks from 2 to 3 inches. Athwart ship bulkheads 2.5 inches. Primary armament turrets were protected by armour from 2 to 4 inches thick. Armament. Primary armament. 12 6 inch Mark 23 guns in 4 turrets.

09:10:50 Long-range anti-aircraft artillery, 12 Mark 16 cannons in coaxial mounts, caliber 4 inches. Small caliber anti-aircraft artillery, two Vickers Mark 6A 8-barrel pom-pom guns, caliber 1.6 inches. Four single-barrel and five coaxial Olicon mounts. The cruiser carried two triple TR-4 torpedo launchers, with a caliber of 21 inches.

09:11:20 3 Supermarine Walrus aircraft were on board to carry out reconnaissance and fire adjustment. Cruising range 12,200 miles at 12 knots.

09:11:40 Während den Verbrauchern, der Belfast-Damaged-Power-Plant wurde komplett verabschiedet. Es war das gleiche als auf den anderen Stadt-Kruisern. Die Unterschiede war in ihrer Location auf dem船 und der Power produziert. According zu dem Projekt, der Nominal Output der Power-Plant war 82,500 Hp. Aber die Calculation zeigte, dass der Belfast-Machines-Power-Machines-Power sollte 80,000 Hp werden, um mehr effizient zu arbeiten.

09:12:09 These steam turbines are driven by the superheated steam that is generated in the boilers at 390 degrees centigrade and at 20 atmospheres. This produces enough power to drive the ship weighing 14,000 tons through the water at 32 knots, which is about 36 miles an hour or 58 kilometers an hour. Understanding the threat posed by German U-boats, the British Navy was constantly hunting for them.

09:12:53 Um die Submarine aufzunehmen, Belfast wurde mit einem Hydro-Acoustik-System, eine Menge von Depth-Chargen und Flugzeugen.

Die Rolle der Walrus-Flugzeuge und das Leben an Bord der HMS Belfast

09:13:03

09:13:03 Three Walrus seaplanes were able to find submarines, apart from reconnaissance and fire adjustment tasks. They could carry two normal anti-submarine depth charges on each of their winged bomb racks. And it was designed to be catapulted from between the funnels into the air and then go off and do its tasks. Its tasks were primarily reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare.

09:13:30 Aber es wurde herausgefunden, sehr früh, dass das Flugzeug sehr gut war als eine Such-and-Rescue Flugzeug.

09:13:42 Once the aircraft had actually finished its sortie, it had to be recovered back on board the ship. And one of the ways in which you could try and ensure that the water wasn't too rough for it to land on, was for the ship to do an S-manoeuvre, which left a sort of hemisphere of smooth water onto which the aircraft could land. Once it landed, the aircraft then had to taxi up alongside the ship and then be recovered. Clearly the pilot could not stop...

09:14:11 der Motor, bis der Telegram ist der Gunner, hat tatsächlich den Jib von der Crane, oder den Huck von der Crane, auf dem Flugzeug. So, wenn Sie sich vorstellen, er ist auf dem Topf hier, mit dem Cranehooken, in einem sehr schweren See, wartet, um es aufzunehmen, mit dem Propeller, um es nach ihm. Ein sehr gefährliches Job. Once es aufzunehmen, der Motor könnte es aufwärts werden.

09:14:38 und dann kann die Flugzeugen auf dem Bord werden. Sie wollten es so schnell wie möglich machen, bevor die Schlick, die sie gegründet haben, hat tatsächlich gegründet und die Wasser begann zu werden.

09:14:57 Ein Krieg ist ein komplexes System, wo die Hauptfunktion der Elemente, sogar der kleinsten, ist ein erfolgreicher Erfolg der Mission. Die Briten, mit ihrer hohen Nahrungsforschung, mussten finden eine Balance für all diese Elemente in diesem Militär Vehikel finden. Alle Details auf einem Krieg, von einem Schuss zu einem Säler's Mug, wurden für die Victory gebaut.

09:15:27 Offices and Men. This was not enough to operate all four turrets, so when war started, the crew numbers went up to 950. They lived down here in what looked like crowded accommodations, but this was a standard format throughout the whole of the Royal Navy, hammocks being hung up where they are above the tables. This was a tradition that goes back about 300 years.

09:15:54 that they ate under where they slept.

09:16:00 Obviously, the sailors needed feeding, and this galley supplied over 2,000 meals a day. It's part of the original ship, and would provide meals for the sailors. Fish, chips, peas, macaroni cheese, jam roly-poly, all these things would be cooked. They sometimes, during World War II, if a mine went off, would cause

09:16:43 Since Nelson's times, the food ration in the British Royal Navy had not been diverse. The food was substantial, but if it remained unchanged for weeks, even a small bar of chocolate or a jar of jam would be precious for any sailor. However, the real emporium of wonders on Belfast was a ship kiosk, where the sailors could purchase delicacies and everyday items. We are in the Nafi Canteen.

09:17:11 Die NAFI ist eine Organisation, die in 1921 war, mit einem Team von Volontieren, die wollten die Navy, die Army und die Air Force helfen, die sie nicht mehr konntieren können. So, wie Beers, Sweets, Chocolates, Medal-Ribbons, Rulers, Pencils, Postcards, alles, was sie nicht verwendet haben. Und als eine Folge, die sie in eine Institution entwickelt wurden.

09:17:40 All the members of the British Armed Forces as the NAFI, the Navy Army Air Force Institute, which over the years of service on the ship become a great boost to the morale of the sailors. There is a saying that perfectly describes military life. An army marches on its stomach. This rule was implicitly adhered to in the Royal Navy as well.

09:18:19 At action stations, if they knew they were going to have a fight, some of the captains would have the cooks prepare sandwiches so that they could eat where they were at their action stations, whether it was by their guns or in the doctor's surgery.

09:18:46 The sickbay we have here is from the late 1950s, early 1960s and would have been similar to the one in 1930s during World War II. The conditions on the ship in the hospitals would be as modern as they could make it and the sailors would be better off in here normally than they would be in their own hammocks. In times of war, other parts of the ship, especially the officers mess.

09:19:15 Es wird alles geschlossen werden, und die Aufwärts-Tabler, wie die, die hinter mir sehen, werden über den Schiff geschlossen werden.

09:19:29 Glückwunsch, die Casualties in der Belfast waren minimale während der Krieg, selbst nachdem eine Bottom-Mine explodierte neben ihr, die möglicherweise zuerst sinken die船 mit allen ihrer Crew-Members. Nur 21 Menschen wurden verletzt, und nur eine von ihnen später in der Hohenzolle sterben. Nach dem Verbrauch und der Modernisierung, Belfast wurde die Flagship des 10. Kruiser-Squadron, basiert in Skapa-Flo. Die principale Arbeitsplätze für die船 waren die Wörter der Norwegen und Barents-Seas.

09:20:09 The two best light cruisers of the British Royal Navy have an interesting history. Belfast comes into commission, hits a mine, and becomes disabled for almost three years. Meanwhile, HMS Edinburgh comes into service and fulfills the duties of both cruisers. She escorts convoys, supports Allied ships, and fights against enemy submarines and aircraft. Unfortunately, Edinburgh was sunk with a valuable cargo of gold.

09:20:35 However, Belfast returns from the repair docks and takes up the torch. What hadn't been accomplished by Edinburgh was completed by Belfast. They complemented each other. They were like twin sisters, worthy of each other.

09:20:58 Als Belfast kam zur Verfügung, wurde sie die wichtigste Aufgabe in der Royal Navy assigned, die im Jahr 20. Jahrzehnte bereits seit 300 Jahren gemacht. Diese Aufgabe war es zu schützen, die Routen zu schützen und zu kontrollieren, die Potenzialen für Transportschips zu schützen. Als ein wahrer Defender des Commerceen, Belfast escorted arktische Convoys in den USA und unterstützt die Vessels, die bezüglichen Cargo zu tragen.

09:21:25 I was born in 1940, during the war. And I always, ever since I was a young person, I always wanted to join the Navy. And I read stories, when I was young I used to read the stories about the heroism of the Russian convoys and other things on ships. But I'm not sure what they were thinking about on the convoys.

09:21:54 All they were to say was, it was rather rough, it was rather cold, and we survived. But they never said much about it. I was like, I want to be, I'm going to join the Navy and I'm going to be brave like they are. So I did.

09:22:25 The rich history of sea battles and high qualification of British sailors were key factors for the great performance of the Royal Navy. The British always acted in a reasonable way, following thorough and elaborate plans. The opportunity to display their courage and bravery was a great reward for British sailors. The main task in the Army or Navy is fulfilling your mission. No matter how many enemies you destroy, sink or knock out, you must fulfill your mission.

09:23:01 If German ships go peacefully by, nobody will attack them. But if they threaten the convoy, the British, despite the tremendous superiority of the Germans, attack their heavy warships. They did what they had to. The Germans were astonished and forced to retreat. And the British didn't think themselves heroes. They were just doing their duty.

09:23:28 A classic example of warring parties carrying out a mission was a sea battle that took place at North Cape in December 1943. The German battleship Scharnhorst, accompanied by five destroyers, was tasked for destroying a convoy. That was her mission. The convoy support ships, including crews of Belfast, were assigned a mission to defend the convoy at any cost.

09:24:02 The British attacked the enemy. They didn't pause. They didn't think about how to show their courage or perform heroic acts. They fulfilled their duty. Of course, they knew that the German heavy ship would destroy them, but they had a mission—defend the convoy. And they attacked the enemy and fought. For eight hours, Belfast and two other cruisers were chasing and attacking Scharnhorst, which was superior in terms of armament and armor.

09:24:30 bis die Hauptsäte der Hauptsäte mit HMS Duke of York kamen. Die Battle at Nord Cape und die Krieg für die ganze Atlantik-Ocean war gewonnen. Die Konfrontation zwischen Großbritannien und Deutschland während World War II war sehr schwer. However, die United Kingdom war der victor, obwohl der höchste Preis sie hatten. Die Memorien von diesen Sailern, die den Ordealen von den Norden-Konvoisen, sind noch auf Belfast auf heute.

09:25:21 The chapel on the ship was put here in the late 50s and 60s and is still in use. The icon of Admiral Yushikov behind me is the connection between Russia and this ship during World War II and the Arctic Convoys.

09:25:38 Familien, die von der Navy die Verteidigung haben, haben ihre Ashes scattered, manchmal von der Backen der船. Und sie sind in der Chapel, damit sie sich in Frieden und sich in Frieden und sich in Frieden und sich in Frieden zu erinnern.

09:26:04 I joined Belfast just after it came back off its World Cruise. When it came back in 1962, it wasn't going to be put into reserve, but they gave it a reprieve and brought it to the flagship of Home Fleet.

09:26:31 In den vergangenen 1970s, Belfast war die einzige British-Britische Kruiser, die in World War II participated. Sie war zu sein, als ihre Schwestern. Jedoch, dank der Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-Britische Wettbewerbs-B

09:27:00 Und ich habe eine sehr geniöbliche Leben, und ich noch bin. Ich bin noch nicht mehr, als ich das Schicksal bin. Und ich glaube, niemand kann mehr fragen, als ich zu schaffen, was ein Mensch möchte. Und das ist das ich noch immer noch.

Neue Schiffe und Technologien in World of Warships 2024: Wisconsin, Almirante Oquendo und Prinz van Oranje

09:27:58

09:27:58 2024 brought plenty of memorable additions to the seas of World of Warships. Some of these new ships could be built through the Dockyard, giving players the chance to add them to their own fleets. These Steel Giants quickly became fan favorites thanks to their unique gameplay qualities and distinctive characters.

09:28:31 Captain's, we present you a true legend. One of the four Iowa-class battleships, mighty Wisconsin. In the middle of the 20th century, American Iowa-class battleships were considered to be the pinnacle of engineering when it came to their combination of protection and firepower. With the exception of some breaks, they served almost until the end of the millennium, and they were engaged in conflicts in Korea and the Persian Gulf.

09:28:57 The first and most important thing you need to know about the battleship is the caliber of her guns. And what exactly do we need to know about the caliber? Right, size does matter. Wisconsin has nine 406mm guns in three triple-gun turrets. And 406mm is very serious. Only Yamato and Musashi had a larger barrel diameter at the time. The entire ship was built as a mighty armored platform to accommodate such a main caliber.

09:29:24 The armor of her turrets was extremely durable, and firing a salvo of shells that each weighed more than a ton right into a target over the horizon, over an incredible distance of 39 km, required a crew of almost 100 men per turret. A warning alarm sounded before each shot, then the crew stood still for a couple of seconds, and the shockwave shook this gigantic ship.

09:29:45 Even when it became clear that aircraft carriers had taken center stage at sea, battleships like Iowa and Wisconsin in particular still found their place in the line. Not only did they suppress enemy coastal positions and support the landing of American troops on the Pacific Islands, but they often sailed out as part of an air group, providing air defense.

09:30:04 Wisconsin simply closed the sky with counter fire 129 AA guns of different calibers plus 10 coaxial mounts for her dual purpose battery that's definitely a show of force good luck trying to fly through that wall of fire add to it a precise fire control system and enemy aircraft were left with minimal chance to complete their missions and of course speed even fast destroyers weren't always able to compete with this monster over distance all of this combined power strength

09:30:33 Die Spannung des Wachstums macht Battleship Wisconsin ein ganzes Wachstum für ihre Opzonen auf den Seas von World of Warships. So, Captains, nicht verlieren Sie die Chance zu Sail her. Die Zeit des Wachstums ist jetzt zu beurteilen, mit der neuen Spannung des Wachstums auf die Spannung des Wachstums. Die Spannung des Wachstums ist die letzte Jewel der Spannungsarmada. Tier IX Heavy Cruiser, Almirante Oquendo.

09:31:19 This beauty is named after Antonio de Oquendo, a prominent Spanish naval commander from the 16th and 17th centuries. A 19th century warship was also launched with this name, and in her honor, we've taken elements of her design to create a special permanent camouflage. In World of Warships, Almirante Oquendo is the embodiment of the Super Washington Cruiser design. With a 17,500 ton displacement, Proyecto 138, developed in Spain in 1938.

09:31:48 The result is a fearsome ship that packs 12 main guns in four turrets. She fires 200 3-millimeter shells, and her captains will enjoy solid damage per minute output.

09:32:00 Pair this with her Swiftness, and she's great at positioning herself in ideal spots to catch her opponents off guard, making her a beast at setting up deadly ambushes for unwitting destroyers and light cruisers. She also holds an ace up her sleeve in the form of her alternative fire mode, Modified Shells. Activating it reduces her shell dispersion by 20%, but the accuracy boost comes at the cost of making her main battery reload time longer.

09:32:31 This Spanish firecracker has an Achilles heel, a vulnerable Citadel, making her overall survivability on the lower side. Captains would be wise to make good use of her great speed to escape from hot water and generally avoid direct confrontation against battleships and heavy cruisers. When it comes to consumables, Captains can choose between Hydroacoustic Search and Defensive AA Fire for one slot, and between Spotting Aircraft and Fighter in another. Repair Party is available in a separate slot.

09:33:00 Can you handle the fiery Almirante Okendo? Find out in the naval arenas of World of Warships. Let's battle! What would happen if you added a massive airstrike to a ship capable of dishing out powerful salvos from her main battery? Captains, please welcome Dutch Tier X cruiser, Prinz van Oranje.

09:33:37 The first ruler of the Independent Netherlands at the end of the 16th century was Prince William of Orange. With the transformation of the country into a kingdom at the beginning of the 19th century, the title of Prince of Orange was given to the heirs to the Dutch throne. In the 17th century, the first ship named Prince van Oranje entered service in the Dutch Navy. During World War II, this name was born by a mine lair that met her fate in January 1942 in a desperate battle with Japanese ships.

09:34:06 The next, Prinz van Oranje, would be created in the virtual shipyards of World of Warships. This ship is the hypothetical version of what the Dutch Project 1047 Battlecruiser might have looked like if she had been built in the late 1940s and armed with British main battery guns.

09:34:27 Prinz Van Oranje is armed with 12 234 mm guns that can inflict high damage per salvo. In addition, the high-velocity projectiles make it easier to hit targets at long range. But keep in mind that the guns take significant time to reload.

09:34:42 Another feature of Prinz Pan Oranje is her ability to call in airstrikes. Her HE bombs deal significant damage, allowing you to hit enemies at long range with a high chance of causing fire. However, the airstrike has a long cooldown, which is why Prinz Pan Oranje cannot rely on as much as other Dutch cruisers. The bombs also take time to reach their targets, so it's most effective against slow-moving enemy ships.

09:35:06 She has formidable armor and powerful AA defenses, but her maneuverability leaves much to be desired. Prinz van Oranje is best suited to medium and long range combat, and an important factor for success is choosing advantageous positions to strike from. While taking cover behind an island, an experienced captain can maximize the power of her main battery by supporting her artillery salvos with an airstrike.

09:35:29 Und bingo! Prinz Van Oranje sends enemy battleships and cruisers back to the port while staying relatively safe. Under the command of a savvy captain, other types of ships can be dealt with just as easily. But it's better not to get into close combat, as her poor maneuverability makes it difficult to escape from unfavorable situations. As for upgrades, we recommend the following. Slot 1, Main Armaments Modification 1. Slot 2, Engine Room Protection.

09:35:57 Slot 3, Aiming Systems Modification 1. Slot 4, Propulsion Modification 1. Slot 5, Concealment System Modification 1. Slot 6, Main Battery Modification 3. Captains, Cruiser Prinz Van Oranje is already in the game. Let's battle!

09:36:19 2024 also expanded the national tech trees. New destroyers, carriers and submarines emerged from the in-game shipyards, ready to make their mark on the seas. These additions and their stories showed how 2024 managed to balance fresh gameplay with the tradition of honoring great legends of the seas.

Die Geschichte der Shinano und die Einführung sowjetischer U-Boote in World of Warships

09:36:38

09:36:38 Constantly in danger from enemy surface and air patrols, seldom able to get to the surface for air and sunlight, the men of the submarine fleet hung up brilliant records of daring and achievement. Within a few months, while sustaining almost negligible losses, the pig boat sunk close to a million tons of Japanese shipping.

09:36:58 November 29, 1944, was the day on which a submarine sunk one of the largest ships ever. An event that has found its place in the Guinness Book of Records. An event worth remembering as the naval battlefield story of David and Goliath. Neither the hunter nor the hunted knew who was on the other side of that determined chase.

09:37:20 The pursuit lasted over six hours on that fated Wednesday night, just before the moon was full. The truth about the event only came to light after the Second World War, but it didn't stop heads shaking in disbelief. How was this even possible? Shinano was constructed in utmost secrecy. The site of her conversion was guarded by a steel fence.

09:37:45 und mehr als 1,000 Builders waren in der Nähe und gezwungen in der Nähe.

09:37:51 She was the only major 20th-century warship that was never officially photographed in an incomplete state. She was also the last and most mysterious of the three giant sisters in the Yamato-class, the other two being Yamato and Musashi. After the painful loss of four fleet carriers at the Battle of Midway in 1942, the Imperial Japanese Navy High Command decided to convert Shinano from a battleship into a carrier.

09:38:20 The increased importance of aircraft carriers in the Pacific War necessitated Shinano's conversion, and she was formally commissioned in November 1944. She was to assume the role of a heavily armored support carrier, displacing a jaw-dropping 65,800 tons and carrying a crew of more than 2,500. Just prior to being launched, Shinano suffered damage to her bow when water suddenly gushed into the dry dock.

09:38:49 This incident led many to believe she was ill-fated, even before she departed on her tragic maiden voyage across the Ocean Passage. Nevertheless, due to her domineering form, most regarded Shinano unsinkable.

09:39:05 Escorted by the three experienced destroyers, Isokaze, Yukikaze, and Hamakaze, Shinana set out on her rushed first voyage in the bright night of November 28, when the Moon was at an almost 97% of its maximum brightness.

09:39:21 USS Archerfish, SS 311, was the first submarine named after a small tropical predator. These fish are notable for their exceptional accuracy in firing water jets from their mouths to knock insect prey into the water. At 2048 hours, the lone Archerfish's radar detected a target 12 miles to the northeast, bearing 030 degrees. Based upon the detection range, the target was assumed to be large.

09:39:50 Shinano was immediately aware of the enemy radar, with the frequency and pulse rate indicating that it originated from an American submarine. Izokaze left the formation to close in on the intruder. Shinano's captain, Toshio Abe, certain that they had encountered an enemy wolfpack, firmly decided not to act on the provocation.

09:40:12 He even ordered Isokaze to return to her assigned screen position in close proximity to Shinano. After all, his mission was to reach Kyure safely, and he didn't plan to allow any distractions. The Japanese squadron was faster than the submarine, but Archerfish got lucky. Shinano was forced to slow down as a result of malfunctions that materialized due to her incomplete state.

09:40:36 She then made an anti-submarine maneuver and turned south of the entrance to Kiel's Suido Strait, exposing her broadside to an attack. Archerfish submerged at 3.05 hours, and the submarine's active radar revealed her close proximity to those listening on Chinano. The carrier sent out a radio transmission alerting the fleet. Archerfish fired six torpedoes from the forward tubes.

09:41:04 Four of them hit Shinano's hull, and a large explosion tore through the water. Even after the attack, Shinano limped on, continuing to move forward at a speed of 18 knots. But this invited disaster, causing seawater to rush more vigorously into her broken hull. 17 hours into her inaugural voyage, Shinano succumbed.

09:41:31 While 1,000 of her crew survived, more than 1,000 were lost, and Captain Abe intentionally slipped under the waves with his ship.

09:41:40 Having lived up to the reputation of the Predator that inspired her name, Archerfish was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. Her commander, Joseph Enright, was awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism during what was only the fifth patrolled of the submarine in the Japanese controlled waters of the Pacific Theater of War.

09:42:02 And finally, 2025, a year of Dutch cruisers, Soviet submarines and American destroyers. We've taken part in an activity inspired by the Dunkirk evacuation and joined a large-scale in-game event called In the Name of Tomorrow, honoring the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

09:42:39 When the world's gone to hell, you trust your shipmates. Trust your ship. Trust your fleet. And you fight. The week I became a Navy officer, the world went to war. For two years, America watched from the sidelines. I'd get letters from my older brother Reggie, a senior officer in the Navy. They were helping Allied convoys.

09:43:34 The sightings of German submarines increased. The tensions were rising. Then, war crashed right into our yard. I was assigned to a newly built ship, San Diego. My life was in her hands, and I swore I'd take good care of her. Reggie was sent to the Atlantic, so I kept wondering, where will San Diego take me?

09:44:20 Reggie and the Allies had their hands full in the Atlantic. Our mess was brewing in the Pacific. We were ordered to support aircraft carrier Hornet and join the invasion of Solomons. My first battle, I was scared stiff.

09:44:45 But I mustered courage. For Reggie. For my men. For San Diego. We stopped moving. We were sitting ducks. I remember screaming orders. The explosions. The acrid smell. The longest hour of my life. Our gal moved. She saved us. But not everyone was so lucky. Hornet was lost at that battle.

09:45:19 A lot of good men died. Are we next? The battles came one after another. The Gilberts. We left only destruction in our wake. Throughout it all, our San Diego kept us afloat. Reggie was sent to support the Allied landings on D-Day. He was so proud. He sank with USS Corey. Rest in peace, brother.

09:46:10 In the Battle of the Philippine Sea, I watched countless enemy planes drown. The Great Maragana's turkey shoot. They were all manned by fathers, sons, and brothers. Just like Reggie. San Diego was the only one who saw me cry. A crushing victory in the Battle of Okinawa. The war was almost over.

09:46:54 And San Diego survived it all. My crew cheered when we entered Tokyo Bay. We won. But at what cost? I didn't feel like celebrating. I would trade my commander's rank. Every medal. In all the Mount Fuji's. Just a hug, Reggie. One more time. San Diego. Like thousands of other ships. Won through hell and back.

09:47:37 Her final mission, bring American sailors home. Joy and tears filled hearts of many men. But many men filled graves and ocean beds. They reclaimed peace. Now it's time to return home and heal.

09:48:06 Welcome to 2025, the year of experiments in World of Warships. New mechanics and limited time ships have arrived, giving players fresh challenges and new tactics to master. The second wave of updates pushed these mechanics even further, making every battle truly unique. Risky, unpredictable and full of excitement. Captain, prepare to encounter something special on the vast virtual seas of World of Warships, experimental ships.

09:48:32 You may think you've experienced everything in our game. You've gone into battle playing ships of all types, walked the thin line between victory and defeat, overwhelmed your opponents with your martial prowess, and rightfully collected an impressive fleet spanning all tiers. Do you count yourself among the most adept fighters and seasoned sailors? Then you're ready to shake things up and experiment! In Update 14.2, three new ships await you.

09:49:00 French Tier VI Cruiser Metz, a historical design of a heavy cruiser that was never produced, one of the forerunners of the Dunkir-class battleships. Soviet Tier IX Cruiser Vyazma, an experimental design classified by the Soviet Navy as a small battleship. U.S. Tier X Battleship Oregon, a fast battleship design preceding the Iowa-class.

09:49:25 These ships have two unique features that define their gameplay. They enter combat with a partially depleted health pool, but they also have increased accuracy and a reduced main battery reload time based on how little HP they have, up to a minimum effective threshold. As you start each battle with partially depleted HP, you'll have a choice to make. You can take a chance and engage the enemy while in a weakened state, and have more firepower at your disposal and a high-stakes combat experience.

09:49:55 Oder du kannst es safe spielen und reparieren deinen Schiff auf der Beginn des Battle. Aber du hast weniger effektive Bonuses. Eine weitere Sache. All Modifiers, die auf den Hp-Percentage dependieren, wie Adrenalin Rush, funktionieren wie usual und machen diese Schiff noch mehr Formidable. Während die Helm des Schiffen, du hast eine Limited Reserve von Improved AP Shells, wenn mit Burst Fire. Diese Shells haben besser Ballistik, Ricochet Angles und Fuse-Times.

09:50:23 Double salvo, double damage, double the fun. However, remember that in the burst fire mode, your ship has a reduced firing range. You'll always start each battle with the same number of improved AP shells. They are automatically restocked after each battle and cannot be purchased with any currency, only as part of the standard servicing costs. Using them in the correct moment is crucial, so choose wisely.

09:50:49 When they run out, you'll still have access to the standard armor-piercing shelves with regular characteristics. Experimental ships will enter the game with the start of Update 14.2. You can't keep them forever! These ships will be available until the end of Update 14.6. Let's make it clear!

09:51:07 Only Experienced Captains will be able to add these ships to their ports. To do so, you'll first need to complete a special combat mission playing Tier IX and higher ships, or part with a hefty sum of free XP. To unlock Experimental Ships, you'll need to research their components in exchange for credits together with Action Reports. They'll be available in daily combat missions, where you'll need to earn XP. The ships can be unlocked only sequentially, from Tier VI to Tier X.

09:51:36 Alternatively, the ships can be unlocked using doubloons. But that won't stop you, Captain, can it? You're a mighty fighter. You've got speed and adrenaline rush. What more could an old battle-hardened Sea Dog want?

09:51:55 This year, the first Soviet submarine set sail, adding a new edge to underwater combat. But the game is evolving in many ways. Captains have gained new tools to secure an advantage in operations, and a brand new battle type introduced a respawn mechanic, making battles more dynamic and intense than ever before.

09:52:20 The time has come to unleash the powerful tier 6 S1, tier 8 L20, and tier 10 Q1 upon our enemies.

09:52:34 Komrade Gonovalov, der Krieg ist aufgerufen. Leid sie in die Trap. Ich kann auf dich, Komrade Komrad, um zu geben unsere Imperialist-Frienden ein properer soviet Willkommen. Du kannst auf dich, Komrade Gonovalov. Wir werden sie eine sehr gute Portion von Hot-Boiled Torpedos geben, frisch aus unseren neuen Submarinen. Du wirst, wir werden sie wieder tun, um die Mutterland zu retten.

09:53:03 Commander Montgomery Cavendish Wellington, over. Operation Polar Bear requesting intel on USSR subs, over. Trying to colonize our new secret base, Monty? You should know that you are wasting your time, as our new submarines are designed to repel capitalism. Our new submarines are fast and dangerous hunters.

09:53:26 Capable of causing significant damage to imperialist invaders, their excellent submarine surveillance will detect submersed threats from afar, and their powerful and guided torpedoes are devastating to surface threats during medium and long range engagements. Our superior engineers have wisely overcome new submarines, low dive capacity, and submersed speed by improving their acceleration.

09:53:53 so they can keep a safe distance from enemy ships and adding Fast Damage Control Team for quick repairs.

09:54:04 I've been thinking, my dear Kanovalov, why don't we settle this in a civilized manner? Perhaps discuss this entire matter over a cup of tea? Oh, Monty, you came such a long way only to realize defeat is inevitable at the hands of our new Silent Hunters. Such a shame. Comrade Kanovalov, the sneaky Imperialists have moved into position behind us and caused damage to L20.

09:54:34 They were sailed only by our superior Fast Damage Control Team. Activate Submariden Surveillance. Find them, Comrade Comariden, and make sure they can cause no more damage.

09:54:47 It worked, Comrade Konofaloff. But it appears they are racing toward our secret base. Then we must be faster, sneakier and more deadly, Comrade Comradin. Ahead full, rigged for ultra-quiet and armed torpedoes in tubes one and two. We will resist the Imperialist intruders with our last breath. For the glory of the Motherland, Comrades! Forward lads! They may have superior numbers, but we have the Home Fleet.

09:55:13 We must spoil their totalitarian goals by finding their secret base at all cost, for King and Country. The time has come for fallen heroes to rise anew. Step up to the challenge where sunken ships reemerge from the depths of the sea to fight anew. World of Warships presents a new temporary battle type, Unbreakable Line.

09:56:03 Captains commanding Tier VI and IX cruisers, battleships and destroyers with divisions of up to four players can now enter battles featuring a game-changing mechanic. Respawning. Return after every fall and dominate the seas like never before. There's no limit on the number of times ships can respawn, keeping you in the fight until the final moment. Battles will be fought on smaller maps and will last shorter than random battles. Sinking all enemy ships doesn't guarantee victory.

09:56:31 You must reach 1000 points or have more points than the enemy when time runs out. Destroying enemy ships earns points as usual, but your team won't lose points if your or allied ship is sunk.

09:56:44 Going down? No worries. After a short time, sunken ships will respawn just outside the map, ensuring you're never out of the fight for long. Respawning grants temporary bonuses to speed, acceleration, maneuverability, concealment, so you can dive right back into the action with renewed ferocity. All armaments instantly reload upon respawning, except for torpedoes, which only reload if all tubes were loaded at the time you were sunk, and your combat instruction progress stays intact.

09:57:13 However, consumable charges aren't refreshed, so use them wisely. Unique Commander Talents aren't active in Unbreakable Line Battles, and the economy functions in a similar way to Random Battles. The Unbreakable Line is not made of ships, it is made of those who refuse to fall. Captains, do you have the determination to take on the challenge of Unbreakable Line and carve your name into naval legend? The battle awaits! Catch you on the high seas!

10-jähriges Jubiläum von World of Warships: Community-Beiträge, historische Schlachten und neue Schiffe

09:57:47

09:57:47 Good day Captains, I'm Majorpar and I've been sailing the high seas off World of Warships since the beta in 2015. It's been an incredible journey full of epic battles, unforgettable moments and a truly passionate community. I'm honoured to have joined the ranks as a community contributor. Last year we have celebrated one year as a CC for World of Warships and it's been an absolute privilege to give back to a game that's given me so much.

09:58:14 One of the standout moments for me this past year was the DD event, a powerful and immersive experience that truly showcased the spirit and depth of this game. To the entire World of Warships community, thank you for your amazing support and being part of this amazing voyage. And to the Warships team, a very happy 10th anniversary. Here's to many more exciting and thrilling years ahead and naval warfare. And to the community,

09:58:43 In 2025, World of Warships strengthened its bond with history even further. We paid tribute to all those who served at sea during the Second World War, keeping their stories alive for new generations. By revisiting the great naval battles of the past, we gave two of our ships unique new exteriors marked with the scars of combat. A reminder that naval history continues to beat at the very heart of the game.

09:59:09 On April 9, 1940, German forces launched Operation Weserumbom, which included, among its objectives, the invasion of Norway. In the early morning, German landing troops headed to five Norwegian cities simultaneously. Oslo, Kristiansson, Bergen, Trondheim, and Narvik. The Germans expected a swift victory, but things didn't work out the way they had planned.

09:59:39 The Allied forces were not willing to cede Norway to the enemy. On the eve of the invasion, the Royal Navy was at sea. British ships were providing cover for a mining operation in Norwegian waters. On April 8, destroyer Gloem heroically fell in battle against a superior German squadron. The next morning, battlecruiser Renown engaged battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, forcing them to retreat.

10:00:05 The Norwegians themselves didn't want to give up without a fight either. A coastal fortress at the approach to Oslo unleashed its artillery and torpedo batteries to send the flagship of the invasion forces, new heavy cruiser Blücher, to the bottom. But it's here, off the coast of Oferfjord, also known as the Narvikfjord, where the Kriegsmarine suffered the most painful losses in two battles, on April 10 and 13.

10:00:35 Invading this town came with considerable risks from the outset. German aviation couldn't reach these territories, meaning there was no possibility to cover the landing troops from above. Why would Germany want to take this small town, with a population of about 18,000, situated in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea, almost in the Arctic Ocean?

10:00:57 Germany badly needed strategic raw materials for its war industry. Iron ore was provided by Sweden, but in winter all Swedish ports in the Baltic were blocked by ice, and Narvik was the only year-round port that had a direct railway connection with Swedish deposits in the city of Kiruna. This is why a small town in the Arctic Circle became such an important strategic point.

10:01:24 On April 9, 1940, the British 2nd Destroyer Flotilla, 5 ships in total, was ordered ahead to Narvik's harbor. They were oblivious to the fact that they would be met by a force twice their size. In the early morning of April 10,

10:01:39 Die Flotilla stormed the harbor, having taken advantage of a thick fog. They fired torpedo salvos at the enemy, who had no idea an attack was coming. Then the artillery followed. Two German destroyers burst into flames and sank right away. Three others were badly damaged. One of the ships was flagship destroyer Wilhelm Heidkamp, carrying the German flotilla commander Friedrich Bonte. He was killed with his entire command staff.

10:02:07 Eight cargo ships were also sunk by the British forces. On the way back, the British ships were intercepted by the surviving German destroyers, which had been hiding in the neighboring fjords. A fierce battle followed, in which two British ships were sunk, including the flagship. The surviving ships barely managed to break away from the fjords. The whole battle lasted two hours. The losses on each side were similar, and both sides lost their commanders.

10:02:36 But the Germans were running out of fuel and ammunition, and most of their ships needed repairs. While the British were rallying more forces toward Narvik, and had already blocked the exits from the fjords. All the Krieg's marina destroyers could do was wait for the end.

10:02:54 Three days later, the Royal Navy came to finish the job. On April 13, 1940, the Germans were confronted with an unusual sight. British battleship HMS Warspike, accompanied by nine destroyers entering the fjord. The flag of Vice Admiral Woodward was flying over the battleship, which was commanded by a recipient of the Victoria Cross, Captain Victor Crutchley.

10:03:18 A shipboard aircraft took off from Warspike and detected a German ship hiding in a nearby bay. Three British destroyers approached the location and spat artillery fire with hurricane-like ferocity at the enemy. The Germans tried to resist, but battleship Warspike, firing from a distance of 3 km, literally tore the enemy destroyer to shreds. At the same time, a biplane launch from Warspike sank a U-boat detected in one of the fjords.

10:03:48 The British moved further along the Ofutfjord, engaging five enemy destroyers. The Germans actively maneuvered in desperation, hiding in a blizzard while delivering artillery fire and launching torpedoes. They were running out of ammunition. Erik Bey, who was in command of the destroyer flotilla, gave the order to retreat to Rombachsfjord.

10:04:11 Sie nicht bekommen den signalen und gehen nach Herjangsfjord, besucht von British destroyer Eskimo. Ein Blast soon erupted. Kuna broke in two, either hit by a torpedo oder scuttled by ihre Crew.

10:04:24 During that time, German destroyer Erich Giese hastily repaired after the previous battle, left Narvik's harbor, and was headed straight for the British. She immediately came under concentrated fire. The ship only had enough ammunition to return fire for 10 minutes. After that, the crew abandoned her as she burned.

10:04:45 Destroyer Cossack entered the harbor and was met by precise artillery fire from Dieter von Ruder, which remained stationary at the pier because of damage received in battle three days prior. But her shell fire was so accurate that Cossack slowed down and ran aground. Warspies joined the fight, but shooting at such a small target resulted in destroying the pier and port rather than the ship. Other British ships approached the motionless Dieter von Ruder.

10:05:14 und die Crew abandone den Dune-Destroyer, mit dem Minden zuerst. Die vierte German-Destroyer, schroudt in den Cover-of-Smoke, auf Rombachsfjord. Die Crew der zwei von ihnen waren vorbereiteten, um ihren Schiff zu scutten. Die anderen zwei hatten ein paar remaining Torpedos, und sie waren vorbereiteten, mit den Briten zu konfrontieren, mit dem Fjord auf den Fjord. Als die British-Destroyer kamen,

10:05:41 The Germans unleashed a torpedo salvo. One of the British destroyers, HMS Eskimo, was seriously damaged, losing her bow to a torpedo hit. Yet she survived and continued the fight. Two of the German destroyers were blown up by their crew. Another one, seriously damaged, ended up at the mercy of the British, who finished it off with torpedoes. Another German ship ran aground and broke in two.

10:06:15 Germany lost 10 destroyers at Narvik, exactly half of the Kriegsmarine's destroyer strength. These naval battles were followed by two months of battles on land, and the town was recaptured from the Germans. But not for long. The Allies faced a series of severe defeats along the entire Western Front, and the Germans occupied Narvik again on June 9, 1940. This time...

10:06:42 Hey everybody, it's SonamG, and here we are at the 10th anniversary of World of Warships. Unlike a lot of you, I didn't start playing this game until 2019. I became an NACC in 2020, and the rest is history.

10:07:44 We have been through ups and downs together and I would just like to thank World of Warships for everything that they have done for me personally and for my channel. But the biggest thing I want to thank them for is introducing me to the World of Warships community. This community is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced through my ups and downs personally. They have been by my side and it is all because of who gravitates towards this game. And I am so excited to see what Warships comes out with in the next 10 years.

10:08:13 so we can all be on that journey together. Happy 10th Anniversary World of Warships!

10:08:28 Through the misty pre-dawn hours, a German naval squadron proceeds into the drawback sound of the Oslofjord. At the vanguard sails heavy cruiser Blücher, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Oskar Kumitz. With Lützow and other warships in formation astern, the ships carry 2,000 soldiers tasked with the swift capture of Oslo, the King and the Norwegian government.

10:08:55 The German High Command has left nothing to chance. Failure is not an option and unforeseen complications are considered unlikely.

10:09:07 The launch of Operation Wieser-Übom was set for April 9, 1940, aiming to achieve the rapid occupation of Norway and Denmark. Taking Norway would give the Germans strategic control over the North Sea and control of a critical route for Swedish iron ore, while Denmark would provide the airfields of Jutland to support German troops landing in Norway and the ability to protect shipping through the Danish Straits.

10:09:35 In the night of April 9, German naval and landing forces struck several Norwegian ports simultaneously. However, as the squadron entered Oslofjord and proceeded toward Drobach, it encountered resistance from the coastal fortress Oskarsborg.

10:09:54 A piercing searchlight from Drobak cut through the darkness. Its beam sweeping across Blücher, illuminating her from bow to stern and blinding the crew on deck.

10:10:09 Moments later, the coastal fortress opened fire, its artillery joined by torpedoes from the shore battery. Disoriented by the intense glare, the German gunners failed to acquire clear targets and withheld fire from their main guns, instead resorting to erratic bursts from secondary armaments and AA batteries, firing blindly toward the flashes on shore.

10:10:40 In just 3-4 Minuten Blücher broke free from the coastal fire and anchored south of Askholman Island. Flames raged across the crippled cruiser, her engines dead and her list growing. As the list reached 45 degrees, the ship lurched forward, sinking bow first. The order to abandon ship echoed across the decks, and by 7.30, Blücher had vanished beneath the waves.

10:11:11 As Blücher slipped beyond the gun's reach, Norwegian fire shifted to the trailing ships. Lütze took several hits before the German squadron was compelled to fall back. This unexpected setback stalled the capture of Oslo, giving the Norwegian king and government the crucial time needed to flee the capital and carry on the struggle for their country's freedom.

10:11:45 The Battle of Samar was unfolding. The USS Johnston, helmed by Commander Ernest E. Evans, stood as one of the smallest ships in a fleet facing an overwhelming Japanese force. Against all odds, Evans and his crew prepared for a fight they knew could be their last. Despite being outgunned and outnumbered, Evans ordered a bold attack.

10:12:09 Johnston surged forward, weaving through enemy fire, launching a torpedo strike that would make history. But the torpedoes weren't Johnston's only weapon. Evans ordered smokescreens to conceal the escort carriers, shielding them with his own ship as a barrier between them and enemy guns. She took several hits from the Yamato, which overpenetrated her armor, causing serious damage. But Johnston kept firing.

10:12:37 The Johnston struck the Japanese heavy cruiser several times and caused serious damage, which forced it to disengage. But the fight came at a cost. The Johnston was heavily damaged, and the crew fought on as long as they could.

10:12:54 Evans und his men proved that courage wasn't about numbers, but about heart. With combined sacrifices, Task Force Taffy-3's relentless efforts from the sea and sky had already left some of the enemy heavy cruisers sinking or damaged. The Japanese command, caught off guard by the fierce American defense, became disorganized.

10:13:17 Fearing a larger force, they ordered a retreat, sparing Taffy I and the invasions of Leyte. This is going to be a fighting ship. I intend to go in harm's way, and anyone who doesn't want to go along had better get off right now.

10:13:33 Now Commander Ernest E. Evans ist jetzt zu den World of Warships, und die USS Johnston ist zurück in der neuen Battle Damage Form, G.Q. Johnny, zeigt die Battle Damage sie gestanden, re-created mit historischen Akuraten. E.V.A.'s legacy lives on in den Annals of Naval History. Die Heroin der Johnston und ihre Crew, led by Commander E.V.A.S., stand als ein Testament zu ihrer Courage in der Face von Impossible Odds.

10:14:03 Will I say I'm ready to be executed? Yeah, I mean, it's not going to be that big deal. We were dedicated to killing monsters. And that's what we volunteered for. We are compelled to enter into a deadly war. This aircraft carrier is a runway sitting on top of two nuclear reactors and several hundred tons of weapons.
