  New Mexico class after refit are the toughest looking battleships. The style of superstructure is very appealing and stout. A shame none survive

  The sinking of Arizona is so sad how a Japanese plane dropped a bomb on a gun and the ammo exploded luckily the government didn't forget about the Arizona and made the Arizona a memorial huge respect to everybody that died during pearl harbor can't wait for episode 3?

  I know, I know, it goes against the "conventional wisdom" of the time, but I still wish the USN omitted the casemate guns entirely, since the BBs never operated alone in such a manner that necessitated them, and the weight could have gone to more AA guns, and improved underwater protection...

  Ah, never knew the bit about Oklahoma's final fate. Knew she was not repaired for further service, just assumed she was broken up for scrap (as intended), not that her hull was lost due to weather on the way to the scrapping yard.

  In regard to the standard battleships, I'm partial to the aesthetics of the New Mexico class. At the start of the war they were the most "modern looking," similar to fast battleships. They were in wide contrast to the tripod masts on the Nevada and Pennsylvania classes or the "basket" masts on the Tennessee and Colorado classes. Although Tennessee, California and West Virginia looked pretty good after their refits 😎

  One little coincidence I always found amusing was that the hull designations for the two battleships named USS Idaho were BB-24 and BB-42. That the second Idaho wasn't even originally planned to be built but was made possible by the sale of the first is poetic icing on the cake and why it's my favorite battleships. (It's also the state I was born in, so there's a little bias there too)

  10 new fast battleships..2 North Carolina class, 4 South Dakota class, and 4 Iowa class, along with 2 Battlecruisers, Alaska and Guam. Some people call the Alaska's Heavy Cruisers, but the gun calibers do not fit prevoius treaty limits, being 12 inch caliber, so I still refer to them as battle cruisers. [ 0.36 the count was 2 short.]

  I guess I got the first comment here. Great video going through the bulk of the American Standard-type battleships. I don't know if you have heard, but roughly 2 and a half months ago, the last survivor of the USS Arizona passed away. But the bright side is, he has been reunited with his brothers in the afterlife. That aside, out of all of the Standard-type battleships salvaged after Pear Harbor, Tennessee, California and West Virginia were all rebuilt basically as new vessels. I kind of like their modernized configuration, of course, that does mean they couldn't traverse the Panama Canal, but it is what it is. But seriously, the Navy should've saved Navada, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, California and West Virginia from either Operation Crossroads or being scraped. The bridge between Texas and North Carolina would've made it more complete in my opinion. Also, the rich history behind the Pearl Harbor veterans is best shown in person rather than in words. Is it a crime they didn't even think to preserve at least one Standard-type battleship?

• 
  @svgproductions7212 сағат бұрын

  Thanks for you comment! I did hear about that, it is very sad, but this is just the reality of time. The “standards” have become some of my favorites to read about, especially since they all had various looks from their rebuilds. Personally, Nevada is one of my favorites, and it’s a shame none were saved. But unfortunately at the time preserving these vessels wasn’t seen as an important thing

  I believe, there was an effort to preserve the USS Tennessee as a museum in her namesake state but this ultimately fell through when it was realized that her draft was going to be tw deep to get that far upriver without first dredging the riverbed which would have only added to the already expensive project.

  @@russelljohnson6267 Uh correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tennessee a land-locked state? I don't think there are any major avenues of water from either the ocean or the Gulf that feed into or out of the state that would support a battleship like USS Tennessee.

  @@NFS_Challenger54 The Mississippi River goes from the gulf between Mississippi and Louisiana all the way up to Iowa including a shoreline in Tennessee. However you are correct that as i stated in my original comment it is not deep enough to support a battleship that far upriver without first dredging the riverbed. This extra expense is what ultimately prevented the ship from being preserved as planned.

That being said, it would interesting to see a similar video displaying foreign powers' battleships, Japan, Germany, Great Britain etc. The main struggle would be compiling all of the limited information that's been saved over the years obviously, US Navy info is probably a lot easier to find than IJN Navy info lol.
