Thank you for bringing all these wreck videos

Indeed, that upright mast is quite the sight. I can't remember any other wreck with a mast that's still standing. Usually, they snap apart at some point during the sinking.

That turret is unique because it was installed with the experimental Type 95 Fish-finder in a matching fish mounting. Jokes aside, it was definitely a double take moment for me as I wasn’t expecting it.

Always cool to see how various sea life stacks up to the dimensions of the vessel for reference. In this case, it’s kind of fitting that what appears to be a Japanese spider crab adorns the bow of the ship. They can get quite large, with leg spans exceeding 10 feet!

me: What sank the ship? fish: Me, I photobombed it!

That fish OWNS that turret!

As always, I enjoy your history lessons. Your details are above the rest. Wow, with the amount of rust and missing plates and buckling, I wonder if their steel was terrible quality.

Those frog fish are the only beings who will ever walk across the deck of these mighty warships

What I was wondering about the previous night... If most of not all the crew of Niizuki perished, who filed the after action report about the sinking of USS Strong? Ok, the other older destroyers survived but they probably only got firing orders from the flagship via TBS or signal lamp (more likely). So either Niizuki made a detailed radio report the day before her sinking or someone else did

Oohh! I remember this story - Drachfinel looked at it!

6:37 - Is that one of those fish that uses it's bottom fins as rudimentary feet to _"walk"_ around the ocean floor?

Could you do a video on the USS Isabel? it’s a US military’s yacht which has a very interesting history and story. Would recommend people reading this to look it up.

I wonder if fire damage plus the explosions are causing a lot of the framing exposure that we see.

It's interesting to see what happened to the sunken ships years after they got sunk.

The surviving crew were shark food or died of exposure. Terrible way to go.

Are you sure turret 4 doesnt have a 5 inch hole in the very front?

Nice presentation with only one minor, but real irritating term. Destroyers have never had turrets. They have gun mounts. A turret is heavily armored and rides on a ring of bearings on a cylindrical armored barbette. Mounts do not have a barbette to rest upon neither any real armor. If it is enclosed, it is mostly a weather shield. The five inch mounts on battleships and cruisers do have some armor but the attachment to the deck is still only a hold down and not part of the loading system. Having spent many hours in battleship Missouri's turrets and mounts ,1985-1989, I can say that I prefer the 17 inch turret face over a one inch thick, or so, gun mount. It's basically getting the terminology correct if you are presenting instructional videos. For example, the sticky down steery thing is a rudder.
