    Really astounding the level of technology the Germans were producing, beleaguered as they were - they were thirty, forty years ahead of the rest of the world ... except in the nuclear field. IF Hitler hadn't cut their funding for that, one shudders to think. Thankfully, he was a Sci-Fi fan, and loved the "Wonder Weapons."

    Maybe check the animation of the bombs dropping at the end of the video. I believe that they dropped in a predefined sequence from different parts of the bomb-bay, so that the remaining bombs didn't affect the plane's centre of gravity. Dropping from the front to the back as in the video would have caused the plane to pitch up and stall/crash.

    The Original Monica system design started in 1941 for a audio warning system that gave a rapidly increasing tone in the bomber crew's headset if there was an aircraft behind the bomber that was decreasing in range. Fitting of it to RAF Bombers did start in early 1943, but was then delayed when it was found to jam the Oboe Blind Bombing System. After Oboe was modified to overcome the issue by June 1943, rapid installation of Monica was done on the RAF bomber force. However what was originally designed for bombers flying on individual routing to a target was now being used on bombers flying in a concentrated Bomber Stream and the Monica equipment was going off all of the time as the Bombers weaved around in the Stream. Most bomber crews got so pissed off with this distraction that they turned the equipment off. By September 1943, Bomber Command and the equipment's designers at Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) realised that Monica Mark 1 (AKA Audio Monica) was a Failure and TRE came up with Monica Mark III (AKA Visual Monica) which is the system shown on the Video. It used the CRT display and receiver systems from the ASV Mk 2 radar located and operated by the Wireless Operator on the Bomber (the equipment being recycled was being phased out of service with Coastal Command). The first 50 system built were issued to 61 and 106 Squadrons of 5 Group Bomber Command in late October 1943. The initial reaction from the Squadron's was the equipment was very easy to use and German night fighters manoeuvring in behind the bomber were easily noted and evaded. A crash program was instigated to modify as many Monica equipped aircraft as possible, abet there were only 600 CRT / Receiver sets available from UK stocks and 200 of them were required for the Mosquito night fighters planned for Bomber Support in 100 Group (the Mosquito Bombers also got the Equipment in the Mark 1 format which worked OK as they didn't fly in the Bomber Stream). Aircraft fitted with the H2S Bombing and Navigation radar didn't get Monica as a system that displayed close in contacts to the underside of the Bomber using the H2S radar was developed called Fishpond and that was fitted to Bomber Command Pathfinder aircraft in October 1943 onwards. Flensburg didn't become operational in a major way until March 1944 and the Bomber Command Operational Research Section who monitored Loss rates of aircraft by types of special equipment fitted to aircraft did note that losses of aircraft fitted with Monica which had been lower than aircraft not fitted with it was changing rapidly throughout April and May 1944 and they suspected the Germans were homing on it. Of Course this was confirmed when the JU-88 was captured. Trials found out how effective Flensburg was and when attempts to modify Monica were made to make it more difficult home on failed, it was removed from all of the Aircraft which operated in the Bomber Stream. Aircraft that didn't operate in a Bomber Stream like the Mosquitos retained the equipment as the primary reason it was removed was to avoid giving away the position of a Bomber Stream from decoy and spoof aircraft that were attempting to spilt the German night defences. The USAAF actually built their own copy of Monica and fitted it to their escort fighters. It was based on the Monica Mark 1, but used a flashing light and a bell to give a warning. The US version of Monica in a modified form ended the war!!! Four of them were each fitted to a pair of bombs dropped on Japan in August 1945. They were the radar fuze system for the Atomic Bombs!!

    The US Navy has recognized it deficient in firepower for current amphibious operations. They have considered bringing back the Battleship or the 1990s Arsenal Ship concept. I believe a modernized LSM(R) would be perfect for the role.

    I still cant get my head round the fact that the molten metal gets through the armor in less than a fraction of a second. No matter how hot it is how can it possibly melt through that quick? Is anyone able to help clear this up? Maybe im just nieve as to how fast metal melts but in my head it makes no sense 😂

    I think the idea is great but they went about it wrong. They should have made the launchers with 2 horizontal rows so it created a wide wall of wires along the entire length of the ship instead of making a single dense cloud of them.
