ADM Foggo is also referring to the time when he was Commander, US 6th Fleet (C6F), as a Vice Admiral (VADM), which was the last time he held operational command over naval assets. His tenure spent as an ADM in the position of Commander, US Naval Forces Europe-Africa (CNE-CNA) is what we call administrative control (ADCON) rather than operational control (OPCON).

@travisspuhler7065

Well, right up till he was saying the battleship would "move" due to recoil. That's largely believing certain forms of hype. I've been reading up on the US BB line, and some of the commanders who controlled them. They had long enough breeches and enough room in the turret that they didn't move an inch when firing the big guns. Even if fired simultaneously. That's from the technical documentation and many of the ww2 admirals who had to find accuracy with those guns.

Quick note to editor (though admittedly a bit late): During the Greyhound analysis, the Admiral refers to the anti-air guns being lowered to fire at the U-boat. The editor of the film points to the wrong guns in the clip. The arrows are pointing at 2 of the 5 inch guns, which were dual purpose guns that were the main armament of those Fletcher Class Destroyers. I believe the Admiral is referring to the much smaller twin barrel that is just barely visible behind the second 5" gun.

Size mattered when it came to aircraft "stopping power" in WWII, so I was somewhat surprised when the Admiral began to describe the 50 cal Browning (destroyers did, indeed, have .50 cal guns early in the war, but they were displaced by 1.1 inch guns and, later variants of the 40mm bofor - the .50 cal is not described as armament on the Fletcher class destroyers. I didn't see any .50 cal in the clip, but I might need to review again). Regardless, the 5-inch gun (main battery for a destroyer) was dual purpose and was certainly used as an anti-air weapon with great stopping power. As a matter of fact, late in WWII the Japanese were using the main battery on the battleship Yamato (18.1 inch) to protect the ship against aircraft.

His comment about a ship moving sideways "several yards" when firing made me cringe. This isn't even remotely accurately - not even close. A battleship would move sideways a fraction of a millimeter, not "several yards" - this is just basic physics, conservation of momentum. There's a great mathematical analysis over at navweaps titled "Do Battleships move sideways when they fire?" - they take the mass of the broadside shells multiplied by the shell velocity assuming a 0 degree angle (fired straight at the horizon - an angle the guns would never actually be fired at, but maximizes the force applied to the ship) and compare that to the mass of the ship to determine the velocity added to the ship. The answer is 0.46 feet per second assuming NO resistance to the ship at all (IE. the ship is balancing on ice, not in the water). The total sideways motion of a 58,000 ton battleship firing it's broadsides straight at the horizon (minimum distance possible) would move that battleship across ice only 6 inches per second. The moment you add water resisting the motion of the battleship, that velocity goes to 0. A 16 inch Mark 8 APC shell is 2700 pounds, and a US battleship can only fire 9 of them at a time, so you only have 24,300 pounds to move a 58,000 TON ship. It's just conservation of momentum, the ship weighs 5000x the weight of the ENTIRE broadside.

@@GinoMEGuain "where's is the detonation being taken into account" Are you talking about the "detonation" of the powder that launches the shell? It's being taken into account by the force formula: Force = mass * acceleration The mass is 1/5000 that of the ship, so the acceleration will be 1/5000 as well. The acceleration of a Mark 8 APC round from a 16" gun is 2500' per second. So the acceleration on the battleship would it get it to 0.5' per second, not accounting for any water displacement (which would get it so close to 0 we could probably not measure it). For perspective, when you walk on the side walk, you're walking at about 5' per second - or with about 10x more speed than would be added to the battleship. "that makes all the difference in the world if I remember my mechanical physics classes correctly." It makes 0 difference. It takes about 30 seconds to reload a 16" gun. The near-0 velocity added will be at 0 within 1 second of firing the gun. You can fire as many times as you want, there's 29+ seconds where all the acceleration added from the previous salvo was completely negated by water before you get another salvo off.

@N Fels I forget what the actual name is, but there is a term to describe how people will accept the word of someone on a topic they do not know about, but will pick apart every last thing that is wrong when the topic is something they know. It is normally applied to non-fiction things, but I think it really applies to stuff like movies and whatnot as well. Where there is still a tendency to accept events as depicted when you do not know about them, common example being defibrillator use in movies. Two examples that always gets me are when I see a pure sailing ship, moving along, with its sails totally slack or when I see the recoil of a cannon and know it is at something like 1/4 of the proper charge. For any of that, it takes willing suspension of disbelief at a proper conscious level to get past it without them ruining your mood. "ok, they did that... moving on...." more or less. btw, I personally know the brother of someone who was tied up along with his mother and shot and killed with his mother right there. And they were left that way. The mother was not harmed (physically) but was left tied up with the corpse of her son. From what I heard, apparently this guy had screwed over some drug dealers. Happened 7-8 years ago give or take. His brother and I used to live in the same apartment building and we had a couple of mutual friends.

He definitely needs to do Crimson Tide and Red October if they bring him back!! Seems like a cool guy.

I'd like to have seen the Admiral's assessment of the most unrealistic thing in Battleship; putting the vessel to sea after decades of it being a museum. When the Navy and Coast Guard decommission service worthy vessels into "mothball" status they still require continual maintenance to keep them in service ready status. Even when they are re-commissioned to be returned to a fleet it takes weeks to months of upkeep to prepare the ship to go out to sea. A hundred guys with hammers and blowtorches could not put a ship that had spent decades as a tourist destination back in service in a day or two.

There's actually a requirement that the ships are kept in a ready to return to service state as per - Congress passed Pub. L. 109-364, the National Defense Authorization Act 2007, requiring the battleships be kept and maintained in a state of readiness should they ever have been needed again. Congress ordered that the following measures be implemented to ensure that, if need be, Iowa and Wisconsin could be returned to active duty: 1. Iowa and Wisconsin must not be altered in any way that would impair their military utility; 2. The battleships must be preserved in their present condition through the continued use of cathodic protection, dehumidification systems, and any other preservation methods as needed; 3. Spare parts and unique equipment such as the 16-inch gun barrels and projectiles be preserved in adequate numbers to support Iowa and Wisconsin, if reactivated; 4. The navy must prepare plans for the rapid reactivation of Iowa and Wisconsin should they be returned to the navy in the event of a national emergency.

It's very good to hear that the Navy now takes hearing protection seriously. In Vietnam on our destroyer, the #2 gun mount often fired back past the bridge where we stood watch. Those were 5" .38 caliber cannon, we were effectively IN the muzzle blast when they fired, and we had zero protection, not even a warning that the gun was about to fire. My ears ring as I write this, yet when I tried to get hearing help in the 1980s the audiologist blew me off, saying "You probably just went to too many rock and roll concerts." Dismissive, insulting and wrong. So I'm glad somebody finally decided that destroying Naval personnels' hearing was a bad idea.

Because guaranteed your medical jacket will turn up missing. The audiologist asked me how long was I in and I said I was tight in the military 17 years 4 months 3 days.. Active, National Guard, Army Reserve then rift R.I.f 01 01 94 she ask me what my MOS was I told her the first one was 16 echo 20 Hawk Fire Control crew chief. Then on and on about my career in the Army. She then asked me from her experience a lot of veterans come in there and they said they were weren't issued ear plugs... And they were suffering from tendonitis... I told her that every unit that I was with especially in ADA & Arty that was an article 15 if you did not have that clear case and Orange earplugs in them every morning during formation inspection. Those things were defective they still helped out a little bit. They were horrible nuisance to wear especially if you were wearing a headset! forget it if you went down to supply and ask for three sets of them in one year!! So most of the guys would take and feild dress a cigarette butt run the cigarette filter in their mouth get it wet, then shove it inside their ears... That's what us NCO called Field expedient method of hearing protection. She then said that these soldiers are telling the truth I said absolutely they are! they just forgot about how hard it was to get hearing protection...but ask the next one that comes in if he has field strip cigarette butts implace them inside his ear, for protection. soon received my 10% for my hearing loss, and I met many soldiers at the VA hospitals as they finally got their 10% disability for their hearing loss.

Procedure for meeting extraterrestrial life exists (and includes quarantine, to make sure the alien isn't carrying a bad disease that's contagious), too. It's not like they necessarily want to plan for ridiculous things, but that they have to at least consider any possibility because if they don't and it happens, there's no one else to guard the people. It's ironic, extremely so, that the most serious organizations in the world have to take account of the ludicrous to the degree of looking ridiculous in order to be serious about any potential threat.

One thing to consider is Kong's strength beyond his weight. Crocodiles for example have a bite force of 3700 pounds psi but only measure in at 2600 pounds, and that's being generous. Kong with his massive muscles, semi-magical nature, and shear weight being influenced by gravity all together would at the very least heavily damage the aircraft carrier. He could likely disable by flattening the deck, ripping out the bridge, then pulling with his weight to the side and flipping it or puncturing it with a few punches.

As an interesting note, the anchor trick was something occasionally used in the age of sail for rapid course changes like that. But the water does have to be shallow enough, and there's a big difference between a 1500 ton sailing vessel and a battleship. Even if it did turn the boat, the timing was just impossibly close. No. Wouldn't work. A lot of the wake from WWII torpedoes was actually fuel exhaust. Many early models ran on alcohol and compressed air. The electric ones came along later specifically to try to reduce the visibility of the wake. Interesting that they now run on fuel again, but that's really the only way to get super long range since practically any fuel has 50x the energy density of the best batteries.

I like when naval history is portrayed somewhat accurately. I come from a long line of sailors- my dad shipped on DD-857 _USS Bristol_ ...a scrappy little pre-missile _Allen M. Sumner_ class destroyer. She escorted the CV-66 _USS America_ battle group, among other duties. My grandpa was a real life unsung hero: a USN SeaBee during the Battle of Guadalcanal in WW2. He ran an open cab dozer and was part of upgrading Henderson Field runway while under heavy fire from the jungle line, as the USMC had not yet secured the island. Desperate days, Seabees were unarmed, but he had a sawed off ten guage holstered on the cab...and had to use it when a Japanese soldier climbed up onto his track. They were shelled every night by the "Tokyo Express" supply ship/cruiser/destroyer line coming down The Slot. He contracted malaria and PTSD (before it was ever a term) and was never the same afterwards. I like "Battleship" because it portrays the _Arleigh Burke_ class DDG's fairly accurately...and seeing the "Mighty Mo" in all her glory is amazing (fun fact: when you see the Mo cruising- some of that's not CGI! They actually took her out on a maintenance cruise and filmed. Great info on the DVD extras about it) My dad always liked "Run Silent, Run Deep", "Das Boot" and "Hunt for Red October".

Just to clarify, she wasn’t under her own power during that “maintenance cruise”. When the navy sold the ships to the museum organizations, it was stated in the contract that they were not allowed to reactive many systems on the ship, including the steam systems. This has been talked about several times by Ryan Szimanski on the Battleship New Jersey channel. Several sources state that she was towed just outside Pearl harbour so there wouldn’t be any land in the shot.

Some things I wrote and posted to IMDB - a few minor inaccuracies in the otherwise amazingly accurate movie Greyhound: The fictional titular warship is shown as one of the American Fletcher class destroyers, the most common destroyer class in history, with 175 built. The iconic silhouette of a Fletcher is well known to any students of World War II naval history. And some of the movie was able to be filmed aboard the museum ship USS Kidd, a Fletcher class vessel still maintained in her World War II configuration. The events of the movie are set in February 1942. The first Fletcher class vessels however were not commissioned into service until June 1942. The movie was based on the C. S. Forester novel "The Good Shepherd". In the book, the fictional destroyer USS Keeling (call sign Greyhound) is described as being of the less well-known, less iconic, and less numerous (18 commissioned) Mahan class. The Mahans first entered service in 1936 and were all in service before the USA joined the war, however, so such class membership would have been actually possible. The book was published ten years after World War II's end, rather than 75 years later for the movie, and such ship class details may have been more familiar to a wider section of society back then. Similarly, the HMS James/Harry looks like it was modeled on a British Battle-class destroyer, which did not enter service until 1944. In the movie, three of the four convoy escorts were large modern fleet destroyers - the Fletcher class USS Keeling/Greyhound, the Battle-class-looking HMS James/Harry, and the Grom-class-looking Polish ORP Viktor/Eagle. While such a mix of escorts at times did happen, it was very rare - a sizable majority of escort warships for North Atlantic convoys were ships that were usually smaller and slower, and, depending on type, were called frigates, corvettes, destroyer escorts, sloops, armed trawlers, sub chasers, coast guard cutters, minesweepers, and World War 1-era destroyers. The HMCS Dodge/Dicky was an example of such a ship, a smaller, slower Flower-class corvette. These smaller ships were more dedicated for anti-submarine work, often having the same anti-sub armament as a full modern fleet destroyer. Fleet destroyers, however, with their higher speed, torpedo tubes, and more numerous and larger sized main guns, were more used to escort major warships and in other situation where they might see combat with enemy surface warships.

Not really. I grew up on Steven Seagal. Even though he is a poser, he has a lot of knowledge in military and martial arts which is why people believed his bullshit in the 90s in the first place. He isn't a great actor or military man or martial artist , but he was wise on some of the films he picked in the early 90s. Seagal maybe an habitual liar but he isn't stupid.

Steven Segal had a run back in the day making good gritty action movies and Under Siege was the best movie he was in. In his early career his character portrayals were very similar Tommy Lee Jones's acting but Segal's star-power only lasted a few movies and he didn't stay in shape so his choreography was diminished and the roles he was taking were getting hokey cause the movies were poorly written and his characterization went from quirky-badass to strange-but-got-hands to washed-up-weirdo! I don't why he fell off but whatever it was he couldn't admit it so most of his adult life was him pretending he was still on the ball.

He rated loading the big guns. When you look about actual footages or training videos, you would see that it was fairly in line with them. I.e. as I recall, they could lob the shell into the chamber and let it fly in by the pure momentum (although I think it was against official procedure), but they were very respectful when dealing with those powder bags. 🎃✴

His early films were actually quite good. It wasn't until the mid-2000s that he started losing the plot.

I like how he appreciates these movies even though they may not be accurate. A lot of other experts just rip on them. My cousin was a surface warfare officer on a Tico cruiser and he said a lot of the ships company loved battleship because it was their movie, unlike top gun which was for the pilots.

Class act, what professionalism. You notice he never makes a negative commitment about something that a critical statement. Most people would just say it's fake or unrealistic, however the Admiral states, it's something we wouldn't train for. It's a true art to disagree with someone and not offend them. He is just so well spoken, I would love to he him talk about anything. Well done Sir!

Jocko: Battleship is dumb Admiral Foggo III: Battleship is one of my favorite movies

Jocko seems like hard to please kind of man. A bit bitter and little too serious (maybe it's just a facade; part of his brand). Admiral Foggo on the other hand seems like a jolly man who is able to find an enjoyment in everything.

When I was stationed on an aircraft carrier, I used to have dreams (nightmares?) of the ship capsizing and having to escape. I knew, based on the way the ship is designed that it would likely never happen, but when you're doing drills often enough during deployment, things stick in your brain and just won't let go.

I didn't panic about it, I just knew I wasn't going to survive that scenario. I had lots of escape plans, but being in the engine room made most of them highly unlikely. We'd be the first to die. I was on smaller ships where the possibility was higher too.

VERY informative… I really enjoyed this one

I wonder how many unknown heroes out there gave there lives in a compartment filling up with water making a decision not to open the hatch in order to save the ship. The Dunkirk scene got me thinking of that.

As someone who served on T23 frigates. The clip with HMS Devonshire is mainly from footage a genuine ship (they did film on a T23). However, I don't remember ever seeing flashing red beacons all over the place, neither were they fitted to T22 frigates. The only flashing beacons tended to be in machinery spaces for Halon Drench activation. LPD (albion/bulwark) have red beacons on the vehicle deck for the chemical alarm though.

That was a great breakdown of each scene. 🤟The Admiral was even honest enough to admit he loved Battleship----one of the most infamously bad movies ever!💥💥

the ops they run in the last ship is actually pretty realistic because US destroyers sometimes have Navy SEALs aboard

I was in the Navy on the USS Bronstein FF1037 and we had an ASROC (Anti-Submarine Rocket) launcher near the bow of the ship. Not only were personnel kept away from noise and the pressure wave but the heat as well. We launched a few missiles in the late '80s to test guidance systems and every time a missile is launched we would have to follow up by repainting the entire front deck portion as the paint had been burned off of everything.

@jimcork6296

Жыл бұрын

Hey Bronstein...from your sister ship USS Mc Cloy (FF1038). I wish to ask the Admiral if he ever did a tour on a destroyer ? If so I believe he would have noted that no one on the USS Greyhoud, seemed to be holding onto bulkheads or anything like a railing, as we were constantly shown the ship in rough seas, Which the North Atlantic was know for. From my experience from a minesweeper and a destroyer escort, you bang your head, foot, or any other part of your body in rough seas, you walk SLOW and more like a tripod til you get your sealegs. Even after you get your sealegs, when your bow goes way up and down as shown in the film like the Bronstein class were known for, you still grabbed something to stop banging into protruding objects.

One thing he didn't address in the Battleship scene is the forces involved. As he DID mention, those anchors are meant to moor the ship in port, not jerk it sideways at flank speed. Assuming it actually was shallow enough for that anchor to reach bottom, what would actually happen if somebody was stupid enough to try that? Snap the anchor chain? The anchor port is not in the armored part of the hull, so maybe it would just tear through the hull? Would it break some kind of safety disconnect intended to prevent these things? Or would it snap the unarmored bow entirely off of the armored band? Maybe that one's a bit extreme but I just can't see a good outcome for that maneuver.

Thank you for your insight

The WW2 Era Ship Shown in that clip from Battleship is the USS Missouri. It was one of the last ships that was active during that time. Also in the movie Undersiege, the ship is also the USS Missouri.
