National Geographic didn't take the same route that History Channel did in the early 2010's. They still want to teach you and spread knowledge, whereas History Channel is more focused now on making money and entertaining tv shows over teaching. Don't get me wrong, History Channel still makes good stuff to learn from, but they're nowhere near what they used to be.

Well put Mister, thank you Mr. KZread.

The narration, the models, animation, research and informative information in this documentary is amazing. Hats off to the production team, researchers and everyone involved for this !

Only National Geographic could masterfully tell such a captivating story, which begins with a simulated dredging of a Imperial Japanese war ship and ends with how fiber optic cable is laid on the sea floor.

I'm glad i wasn't born that generation! imagine the difficulties that my fellow Filipinos experienced that year! I'm proud of them for keeping the Philippines!

This is a proof that size doesnt matter, what matter is the small battleship that help each one to bring down a giant. Biblical story like "David and goliath" is a clear answer.

This is interesting information when it's come in Philippines sea floor in Visayas many battle shipwreck found...

One error they made though: Yamato was not named after Yamato-damashii. It was named after the Yamato-province (modern day Nara Prefecture). All Japanese Battleships were named after the old provinces: Yamato, Musashi, Nagato, Mutsu, Hyuga, Ise, etc.

yall need to do this in port royal Jamaica, there was an earthquake and most of that city was sunk many years ago

why i just subscribe now. you deserve all the views and subscription. thank you for very educational video.

I have seen a lot of military equipment off of the Philippines wile wreck diving. The best one was a Japanese Zero pointing straight downward like it was in a nose dive.

As a young boy during the 1970s. I went fishing with my father's boat. He always wants me to fish in the bow of the boat while his crews fished on the back of the stern. Most of the time, my fishing line was pulled by larger fish, and when my line was stuck, I was unable to pull it up. I look down under the ocean bed. I am able to see the skeletons of Japanese ships. I watched this National Geographic document, and now that I am older, I realize many Japanese' ships were sunk under Vietnamese territory in the ocean.

One of best videos I’ve ever seen

The USS Tang was sunk by it's last torpedo in the Taiwan Strait during WWII. Some of her crew survived and a few got out after she sank by using the Momsun Lung and the forward escape hatch. She is in about 250 feet of water, yet no one has ever tried to locate her. Is there a reason China and Taiwan won't allow anyone to survey wrecks in the Strait?

@lagrangewei

politically US does not recognise UNCLOS, and so does not recognise China's right, asking China for the right to survey would undermine US political position and so it would be better to not ask. beside, no one cares enough about the Tang in Washingston. there are 120 of them build.

The Yamato and Musashi battleships were built to fight WW1-type sea battles and showed how they were out-moded against the new strategies developed during WW2, with aerial bombing campaigns from aircraft. Same is happening now with tanks being destroyed with small drones loitering above them dropping grenades on it or into the turret. Also the hypersonic self-guided cruise missile might end the age of the supercarrier.

one thing most people overlook is that the US Navy did get hit with a more literal successor to the Kamikaze in the form of Typhoon Cobra, which managed to do more damage to the USN in 1945 than the entire IJN.

Founded in 1518, it was the centre of shipping commerce in the Caribbean Sea during the latter half of the 17th century. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692 and a subsequent tsunami, and fires. Severe hurricanes have regularly damaged it. Another severe earthquake occurred in 1907

Japan at that time was serious about that fact. in truth they are the first nation to built aircraft carrier anew and not by converting other vessels. A6M Zero is designed for carrier-based operations. They had CV fleet. but lost ones at Midway and did try to rebuild carrier fleets, to the point of converting two Dreadnoughts afts by adding flight decks and the third of Yamato class Superdreadnought into Aircraft Carrier (The Biggest until USS Forrestal came to service).

Well, that put's an end to Star Blazers, the Japanese anime space series, where Yamato is raised and turned into a space going battleship. They did have 18 inch anti aircraft shells, but they weren't like modern shells and were ineffective.
