The engineering wouldn't have been so disastrous if not for naval leaders demanding these ships be created to their exact specifications. Seemingly misunderstanding how these ships would work in practice, and regardless of the concerns many engineers raised. This is not how to spark competent innovation. Often they would simply replace concenered engineers with others who would do it, and were deterred from asking questions. Essentially telling engineers to just get it done, and figure it out somehow. They made these decisions without any understanding of how these ideas would be implemented, or their functionality at sea. Due to the nature of the war, wanting to gain an advantage quickly. These projects were rushed aswell, to a point where serious design flaws were not noticed until it was far too late. The ones that were noticed only had superficial fixes. They did not keep many well working ships from previous years British crews knew how to navigate well as back ups, preferring to scrap them in order to start a new. The technicalities weren't being considered heavily enough by naval leaders, and they were too stubborn to see how unreasonable their demands actually were. The navy also disregarded opinions of skilled sailors telling them these ships were unmanageable, and there were too many issues with the limitations of communication technology at that time. I'm not saying the engineering isn't at fault, but the navy also played a key role in how this tragedy came about. They are both responsible for what happened to those ships, and the crews aboard them. This was a disastrous blunder by the navy as naval leaders continuously made poor, ill informed decisions. Stuck by them despite the obvious, and severe problems. Then once something truly horrifying happened, costing the lives of many. They tried to cover it up rather than take any accountability, or confront the families of those who needlessly died. Their actions were not innocent in this. The navy had many many opportunities to prevent such an incident, but they opted to ignore them. Utterly cruel, and embarrassing behavior.

These subs weren't running on coal, they were running on heavy fuel oil. The problem was the preheaters needed to make it a liquid before it could be used. And the problems here weren't anything to do with engineering, they were to do with violations of proper procedure and driving a squadron of large vessels into an approaching fleet without any idea if it knew they were coming. Without that, this was a minor collision with two casualties.

The thing is most of what's in the early part of the video not only isn't true but is the complete opposite of the truth. The British started the war with the largest submarine fleet in the world (76 compared to Germany's 28, including 16 long-range patrol subs), pioneered diesel submarines, and by the end of the war had the first hunter-killer submarines in service. Fischer was actually a proponent of submarines. The issue with the K Class was that they were literally the only solution to a demand for a surface speed of 21 knots: even at the end of the war the fastest subs with diesel engines (British J Class) could only manage 19.

Give your music editor a raise. They're doing a great job! All of the ambient sounds and the way the music speeds up as the tension increases show someone who really knows what they're doing :D

I don't think I've ever felt sick when hearing how personnel -of any disaster- died. I think it feels so awful because of just how much of a perfect storm everything was. Imagine being on one of the boats that sailed through the survivors, and learning later that you mowed through a bunch of your own comrades. I almost hope they never learned of what happened since they didn't mean to harm anyone.

The whole disaster is just one big, “but wait, it gets worse!”

Some sailor: "Is it normal for submarines to dive backwards?" The superiors: "Ah, shit..." Edit, because it's more than just yucks: The M2 was found sunken, with the hangar doors open, and the plane inside. It's assumed the doors were opened too soon after the vessel surfaced, and were possibly jammed. So then water flooded in on the back end, and weighed it down so much, that it looked like it was just diving backwards. The men inside probably lasted long enough to panic, but not long enough to call it in, let alone fix it, or get out.

WW1 truly was a GREAT War 😎

The saddest part of this whole affair is that the men aboard these submarines and ships were very talented sailors. Their quick actions stopped what could have easily been a much greater loss of life. But they were sealed in death traps; ticking time bombs. They were sent to their death by their incompetent superior officers, plain and simple.

It's not just incompetence, it's pure hubris. Their higher ups refused to adapt to the changing times and the true methodology of warfare. Their refusal to break from their "one fleet" ideology, make death traps that were borderline impossible at the time and to an extent even today, and even after such a harrowing disaster, they refused to admit their defeat and would rather cover up their obvious mistakes then actually be punished for it. If I even heard about this at the time, I would make sure EVERYONE knows about this; these men should have been held accountable while they were alive, and those who died should have had their loved ones told about what happened.

@@MPSmaruj The majority of the mishaps were caused by poor military doctrine regarding new weapon platforms and fleet movement. The military is inherently dangerous. Even without enemy fire, men and equipment are pressed into unsafe situations that can, and will, cause death. In this case, 3 floatillas are moving close to one another at night and with limited visiablity due to fog. Communications, apperantly, are also limited. A strange equipment malfuntion, the steering jammed on one of the subs, began a series of accidents. Upper level brass are arrogent and closed minded- but they have to be because of the very nature of command. They hear so many ideas about how things should be run from so many people promoting their own agenda that a decision has to be made and the commander has to be resolute. Things may go well and the results are ignored (for example, we don't hear about the movements of southern fleet in the video. They were sailing in the same weather but arrived at point without an accident) or lauded as a hero. Things may go poorly, such as this event or countless others (like Gen Haig, a few years earlier who thought machine guns were ineffective and had 20,000 of 60,000 men killed in a few min's when he ordered a frontal attack on the German lines. He would go on to rack up a 260,000 deaths of his own troops before relieved of command). While it's easy to crap on these bad decisions- a poor decision is still better than an irresolute officer. For example, look at Gen Elphonstone, whose weak and irresolute character lead to the complete failure of the British army in Afganistan. Or, Gen McCellan who could have, arguably, ended the American Civil War in 1862 if he had counter-attacked Lee. My points are- the military is a very dangerous occupation. Even in peacetime or not under enemy fire. Those in command don't have a way to see the future and decisions are mostly made in the dark. There are always compeating ideas and there is really no way of telling which one is the best. Because the men who make these decisions are responsible for them, they tend to go with their own ideas. "Make you own mistakes- not someone else's." To be resolute is better than not to be. The Battle of May Island was a series of accidents caused by bad luck, bad communications, and bad doctrine.

I mean, the brits made the movie "The Death of Stalin", but I doubt they'd make one mocking themselves.

This is why I prefer to seek out these types of stories. Fiction really can't hold up when compared to shit like this. I wouldn't blame somebody if they thought this was fake; it's just so absurd.

how can you blame the "highborn" when they weren't even in the battle? You seem like the clown here

@@Arthurzeiro wrong, brits always mock themselves

I'd give my left Knudsen for a new video. I'm stuck watching the Collyer brothers, once a month for sustenance.

So this video has been a pretty good hold-over for 24 months now. :) Surprised to even write that but thems the breaks sometimes. This channel had a pretty solid run for about 4 years or so, no shame. It's not my business if the new video drops or not at this point.
