Typical for this channel. Every single video.

Despite the video, HMS Nelson also missed Jutland. Warspite is pronounced 'War-spite' not 'Warspit'. When attacked on arctic convoy escort duty by U-711, Royal Sovereign/Arkangel was not saved by torpedo nets. Nets are not deployed while a ship is underway. If you read the wiki page again you will see the nets were used later when she had arrived in port at Kola, successfully defeating subsequent submarine attacks. When she ran aground, in 1947, she did not suffer 'significant damage'. In fact the Soviets did virtually no maintenance at all but without repair she was fit to sail back to the UK a year later. She arrived at the scrapyard in May 1949, not 1957. The elevation gear from her main guns was stored and used at the Jodrell bank site in 1955. So good wikipedia summary, and some nice shots mostly of similar aged battleships.

Yup, the Russians often ruined ships gifted during WW2. The same thing happened to the old US cruiser Milwaukee. they used it, broke it and returned it to the US in a condition only described as a severly damaged pig sty.

HMS Royal Sovereign, nicknamed 'The Tiddly Quid; by her ships crew.

Please don't mis-pronounce warspites name. There was never a greater battlship and she at least deserves her name being pronounced correctly. There was no greater crime than the british government not turning her into the UK's only museum battleship. It was a grave crime :(

It bothers me hearing "War-spit" instead of "War-spite"... Spite, as in you are going to do something in Spite of what others want. Also yeah, Russia ruining a ship isn't new, but at the same time the British did similar things with their ships such as every Tribal class destroyer that they had which survived ww2, they were in such poor condition that they were only good for scrap, where the 5 Canadian Tribals and 3 Australian Tribals ended the war in quite a bit better condition, even taking into account combat damage and such. HMCS Haida, the last surviving Tribal class destroyer is a museum ship in Hamilton Ontario, she saw plenty of action during the war and Korean War, but was never left in such terrible shape, her crew kept her in the best shape possible, and she performed extremely well.

We built it, we used it, later we sold it then we sank it...

No wonder he was confused, titling a video about a Battleship a Destroyer. He doesn’t know the difference between SPIT and SPITE either. It makes his videos hard to take seriously. For those who love history, it matters.

HMS Royal Sovereign

The surrender of the Italian Navy meant that there were several battleships that were divided up between the Allies - Russia was owed one of these - as it was difficult to get the Italian ship prepared and crewed ( It was also in the Med and the Black Sea was ruled out as it would have to get past occupied Greece). After much negotiation Royal Sovereign was substituted - The R class battleships were already considered obsolete and the took too many men to crew so had been put in reserve. - An old, soon to be scrapped WW1 Dreadnaught was hardly a gift and I guess the Russians found little real use for her in Northern waters - to be fair the Italian ship without spares and repairs would have been little different.

Typical Russians they don't know what they're doing use something break it ruin it and then return it which is shocking but then it's completely useless so bad that they had a scrap the ship

Good One.

Royal Sovereign was loaned to the Soviet Union as they did not have a battleship. It wa a bad idea as the Soviets had no clue on operating such a ship and it stayed rotting in dock and used as a toilet until returned in 1949. She had to be fumigated to prevent disease before she was sent to be scrapped.

That ringing noise half way through is annoying AF

Incredible speed of 23 knot? Massive ship of 30 000 tons ish? Massive Range of 8000 Nautical Miles? Considering the norm of battleships was 21-23 knot and the faster of the time period pushed 25-26.5 knots, 23 knot is not that impressive, and 30 000 tons was the norm too 8000 Nautical miles are very very limited when you compare the USN who had the New york class at 7000(when they were coal burner), the Nevada at 8000 and the Pennsylvania at 19 000; The R class was again pretty normal and that if its you even bothered to use NAUTICAL miles instead of normal miles for your figures.

Massively so.

WARSPITE it sounds like WAR-SP-IGHT like the word Fight. Not SPIT like what you do with saliva from your mouth, Spite is more of an action/feeling, its in the famous saying "bite your nose off to spite your face". WARSPITE is sych a great name for a ship WAR-SPIT is definitely not. I know your American and pronouncing some words isn't your strong point, you all tend to say exactly how its written, but some letters do have more than one way to say them which can affect how a word is pronounced.

German battle cruiser HMS. Molke? It joined the Royal Navy? Who knew?😂

You call royal sovereign a battleship . But the video is about a destroyer

All this channel does is put out bad information.

I´m always suprised at how little actual research this chanel does. Most of the facts presented in this video are completely wrong ( Roay Sovereign missed the battle of jutland because of a technical defect and not because of an inexperienced crew and a lot more nonsense like that) and the pictures don´t even show the right ship at a lot of points. If you want real quality naval history stop watching this chanel and watch a proper naval history chanel like drachinifel.

its warspite... not war spit

Commentator, it's HMS Warspite not spit. Spite rhymes with right. Also it's not "the HMS". HMS is His Majesty's Ship, so what you're saying is "the His Majesty's Ship". Sounds stupid, doesn't it?

At the end of ww1, Australia had the greatest navy and control of the Turkish empire, bad luck for the planet we gave it to the empire. How different the world would be as part of the Aussie ethos? Alas our population was to small to run an empire. We sunk our fleet and handed the Turkish empire to the British. In ww2 our land was governed by Mac Arthur, in ww1 America was under Australian command. Lawrence of Arabia was also under Australian command. Small population are we yet the Chinese are cow towing in between their threats. Arming against the Russians and Chinese. Possibly against Trump's insurrectionist.
