WOW...This was one of the best ships of war video l have seen....An l am in my 80's....Thanks so very much...!
Trafalgar ships were a metre thick with timber, where it was expected to take cannon shot. Nelson knew the squared stern was left vulnerable. At slow speed his ships slowly threaded between ships firing through those areas, their cannon balls ripping through the length of the decks, overwhelming their crews who could offer little to deter the attack. It seems only old sailers know of this tactic, even after two hundred years. Pop!

Interesting and well produced video on a relatively seldom covered topic 🙏🙏🙏👍
One thing of note: The Americans did NOT make the first armored warship; they designed the world’s first armored “Floating Battery” which at the time were just old hulks converted to carry heavy guns and meander in the harbor. They had no means of going anywhere other than their own port, where not seaworthy, and held no reserves for fuel IF they had a steam engine. Armor Floating Batteries are not warships, but a special type of defensive instillation.

Same reason I dropped that biology class. Dude makes me sleepy. I can't learn when I'm asleep. And a dislike, doesn't harm the producer. It actually helps. It shows that someone has a perspective on the video. Mr beast did a video a long time ago explaining it. If you put two of the same video out there, watch both and dislike one. The disliked one shows up first on a search and gets recommended. See any news channel. Hahaha they never quit getting recommended. It's a report that matters. Hope that explains it Major.

4.58 into the video he says gun power ...... Is that a mistake and should be gun powder or is it some military term ? No criticism intended just a general question
Some time between the 15th and 18th (date disputed) March 1915, in Pentland Firth off the northernmost tip of Scotland, HMS Dreadnought rammed and sank the German U-Boot, the U-29. Captain Otto Weddigen of legendary fame (comparable to the Red Baron in the air) and his crew were all lost. It was the only instance during the Great War of a submarine being sunk by ramming. The circumstances of the ramming are disputed by the two sides to this day.

@CipiRipi00 You are quite right. It was Otto Weddigen whose U-Boat sank the HMS Aboukir, HMS Hogue and HMS Cressy, all within an hour in the early days of the First World War, but he was at that time commanding the U-9. He was later given a better submarine, the U-29. Otto Weddigen's amazing exploits were so famous that postcards were printed with his portrait and pictures of his U-Boat. You can find some of them them on the web. One postcard shows people waving to Weddigen and his crew as his U-Boat leaves its mooring next to the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge across Wilhelmshafen harbour. The huge harbour and the bridge were badly bombed during the Second World War, but the bridge was re-built to look quite like the original. The Kaiser had a march composed to honour Otto Weddigen and his crew, a fact that is missing from the Wikipedia article about him. Perhaps you can find the march on the web. At the time, his fame as a submariner was comparable to that of Freiherr Manfred von Richtofen in the air. Weddigen is quite celebrated at the German Navy Museum in Wilhelmshafen, the port from which his U-9 and U-29 sailed.

Its not the only example of a submarine being sunk by ramming in ww1. The Olympic also rammed and sunk a U boat.

Drach certainly has a different perspective of the Victoria/Camperdown collision than described here.
I was waiting for him to mention the Laird rams constructed at Birkenhead in 1862. The Confederate government contracted with British yards to construct several wooden warships in the early years of the American Civil War, among which were the "Alabama" and the "Florida," two of the "commerce raiders" that sank over $15 million in US shipping. The US minister in Britain, Charles Francis Adams (son and grandson of American presidents), a skillful and persistent diplomat, learned of the rams' construction and pressured Lord John Russell, foreign secretary in Lord Palmerston's government, to halt the construction. The government and much of the British upper class favored the Confederates (as more gentlemanly for the leisured way of life of their leaders, one supposes - as opposed to the lower class, money-grubbing Yankees), so Adams was hard put to carry out his instructions. In the end, the British government ordered a halt to the construction, but the US government sued Britain for the losses incurred by the raiders, which Palmerston's cabinet had allowed, by wink and nod, to sail out of UK harbors. After several years of negotiations, Great Britain paid the US $15.5 million to settle the claims. Had they been allowed to sail, the Laird rams would doubtless raised even greater havoc with US shipping.
Thanks for the video, but I feel I must contest your claims about the 'confidence' in ramming as a tactic in the era discussed. A couple of experimental oddities of naval architecture and a fictional vessel that attacks Martians isn't exactly conclusive evidence of Lissa producing a revolution in tactics and weapons. It does not follow that ramming became the favoured means of attack in a period in which gunpower was the dominant measure of a fleet's effectiveness, and the torpedo was coming to the fore as the major means of inflicting harm below the waterline. Primary guns in rotating barbettes matched with torpedoes essentially rendered ramming a suicidal tactic after the ACW, with Lissa more an aberration rather than a marker of the future.

actually... ============= The naval ram being later dubbed, “…a dogma which prevailed for half a century and which never had any real substance in fact.” The focus on the ram by a generation of naval experts shows the allure of ideas, and that ideas must be tested, and re-tested, less scare resources and effort be wasted pursuing technological dead ends and preparing for the wrong battle ============= that was a retrospect of the naval design history particularly in the time post Battle of Lissa. So no, it did not mean that ramming was a good tactic in the period following the battle... But it meant that AFTER Battle of Lissa, designers and naval experts DID thought that ramming was still relevant and this showed from the design of the ships following Battle of Lissa where ram bow is more prevalent than the trend prior to the battle, and it wasn't until around 1920s when designs began moving away in earnest from such bow design. Which is somewhat unfortunate because as late as WW2 we had ships that thx to their ram bow... caused catastrophic damage in collision between friendly vessels.
