H1MIN: LSM(R) U.S. NAVY ROCKET SHIPS

Ғылым және технология

The LSM(R) was the U.S. Navy’s introduction of a new class of rocket support ship in late WW2. Modified from existing landing ships, it was an interim design to provide heavier inshore bombardment to support amphibious landings.
The evolution of rocketry design was also interesting with innovations from engineers at Caltech. (California Institute of Technology)
More on this topic:
Very detailed book on the subject:
"The US Navy's 'Interim' LSM(R)s in World War II: Rocket Ships of the Pacific Amphibious Forces" by Ron MacKay, Jr.

    @@timg2088 you can't just use different words and call it a quote. "Late jn the war" after several decisive and costly battles, and the pivotal battle of Midway. The war after that was a brutal finishing move, and everyone including Japanese high command knew the war was lost. They no longer had the materials to conduct new aircraft design and production while also maintaining war time productions. That absolutely counts as late in the war, and the central point that the Japanese were not savage tribals who couldn't identify a weapon as simple and recognized as a missile is still solid. That's such a lame joke tbh.

    Awesome video. In the 60's, one LSMR ,The USS Elk River was converted and used in the "man in the sea" project, for the United States Navy. After that it was used primarily as a Saturation diver school for highly qualified Navy divers. During its man in the sea and Saturation diver phase it was no longer considered The USS Elk River, but designated DTV Elk River IX501. (DTV is the abbreviation for Diver Training Vessel and IX is the ships classification - Expiramental? It was showcased on a few documentaries, TV shows and even one complete episode of The Bionic Woman. Sadly the ' Moose Creek" (what some of the Elk River sailors called the ship) found her Forever resting place, in the Pacific Ocean.

    I saw one of these ships when it visited the US Naval Base in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was in the 5th or 6th grade. This would have been around 1953. The pier was a short walk from the school and our PE teacher, a Marine, would sometimes take us to look at ships and sometimes go aboard. Sometimes we’d get ice cream. An avid sci- fi reader at the time, when I heard “rocket ship” I got really excited, only to be disappointed when I saw the real thing. Of course, none of the launchers were loaded. I remember seeing a submarine and perhaps a destroyer on other outings. The Navy shared the airfield on the north side of the base with the civilian airlines. I think we only got one outing to the airfield the 4 years I was there.

    Richard here: I served as Comm Officer on the USS Clarion River (LSMR 409) from July 65 to January 67. This class LSMR had 8 trainable rocket launchers that could fire 2 rockets every 4 seconds. We shot 3 range rockets: 2500, 5000 and 10,000 yard rockets. We put the ship back in commission at Hunters Point in mid '65', and after training in California, went to our new homeport of Yokosuka, Japan. Most of '66' was spent on the gun-line in Vietnam. Our crew was 7 officers and 130 enlisted.

    Dude love your channel! You've got high quality animations, and visuals that explain many interesting topics. One critique to help others find your channel would be to change your video thumbnails so that it isnt covered by a Giant Yellow H1MIN. I know that's your channel logo, but it hides your gorgeous renderings, and people probably glance over it, because a yellow square looks rather boring. Thumbnails mean a lot, so it could help. Just my 2 cents, not a youtuber, just my observations as a viewer. Keep up the great content!

    The US Navy has recognized it deficient in firepower for current amphibious operations. They have considered bringing back the Battleship or the 1990s Arsenal Ship concept. I believe a modernized LSM(R) would be perfect for the role.

    Great channel, good work. I wonder if those crews of those ships had protected equipments against the thick smoke produced by the rockets during a salvo?
