i got one too 😅

KZfaq has been inserting double ads lately. Really pissing me off

aaaaaadddddbloooooooooooocccckkkk!

KZfaq has ads? I haven't seen an ad in over 20 years now, had no clue youtube had ads now.

Ironic

Same here

I'm already 5 years deep. No codes would help anyways 😂😂😂

😂

the first ad i got was for a cruise 😂

WoW's CEO is eating his hat at this video and yelling at this PR team for not managing to bend this man's will to take on a sponsorship.

It's awesome! Even though I'm geographically required to dislike everything swedish I still think they deserve a tip of the hat for turning their silliest military blunder into a museum

@@Karl_Marksman It feels like the best thing to do given the circumstances. :)

Agree. Been to it and it's a marvel to see in person.

Sounds good, I've been to Stockholm many times, however he did just say that you should visit the museum. Right at the start of the video 🙄

Never miss a chance to visit the top heavy swedish girl.

100%, it's a hell of a museum 🚢

The Vasa gave her life for tourism.

And i thought the price for war machines today was ridiculous

monarchies use money differently

@@Makabert.Abylon true, but there is a interesting conundrum here. Ships like that had more cannons than the army. ONE SHIP. Later, 1single british 1st rate ship-of-the-line had more guns that the total number used by all armies in the battle of Waterloo. It would be like a single US aircraft carrier having more airplanes than US and Russia airforces together

@@carloshenriquezimmer7543 A single U.S. carrier _does_ contain more aircraft than most nations, and the U.S. Navy is the second largest air force in the world, right behind the U.S. Air Force.

@@THE-X-Force The US army, if you count helicopters, is not too far down the list either.

This being so close to the top of comments (just 8 comments down) is so good. We usually have to scroll deeply down in most other Whistler's group videos.

Describing Monitor as seaworthy flys in the face of history. It was very capable as a river/sheltered harbour craft and not for the open ocean. Coastal transits under tow were at the edge of her capabilities and she was lost during such a journey.

I think the CSA hunley is awesome as well. The first submarine to “successfully” sink another ship lol

Actually the monitor was anything but seaworthy she sunk in open ocean.

There was a class of monitor that someone misplaced a decimal when they worked out the weight and it went right to the bottom on launch

@@johnculver2519 Vasa sank without ever managing to leave the sheltered waters to begin with, in what is currently Stockholm harbour - quite far away from anything resembling open sea. As such, Monitor definitely was more seaworthy than it was.

Coracles are still made and sailed. You're a few thousand tons away from the same set of hydrodynamic principals being relevant.

has anyone else noticed this blazer has holes in the elbows?

i saw the yellow socks too lmao

You got a time stamp for that lol. I’ve watched it 4 times now and my ADHD keeps getting the best of me 🤣🤣 Edit…. Just kidding!!!! 13:30 hahhahahah Simon. What is happening?! Love it too though lol! Legend

@@042509am Thank god for your ADHD. I really didn't want to go look for it lmao

As an Asian, what’s so notable about not wearing shoes indoors 🤷‍♂️

Sadly Simon getting details wrong isn't exactly a new thing...

And OceanlinerDesigns did two videos on poorly designed warships months ago. Which I feel like they must've seen considering all but one of the ships from this video are also in OceanlinerDesigns' videos...

Don’t worry about it. Those things are built in modules like Legos and are way overbuilt to handle much of what the sea throws at them. If you’re going around the Caribbean Islands the only thing you might … might have to worry about is going aground but that is so unlikely to happen. Most cruise ships are very safe and have redundant safety systems. They will have a muster drill before you leave port so you know where to go in an emergency. This is required and you will be asked to leave if you don’t participate. The Costa Concordia in Italy was the captain’s carelessness and showing off. The Carnival “poop cruise” was a truly unfortunate anomaly where the passengers and crew were left miserable but alive. Enjoy your cruise. You’ll have a blast. You might even get hooked.

it costs too much to make a bad cruise ship, they dont have government money to waste

​@annenelson5656 Until Internet Historians HILARIOUS video about the Costa Concordia Sinking and how it all stemmed from gross idiotic negligence via the captain I had never knew about any of that incident. Like the fact they not only tried to keep it from the passengers that the ship run aground and was damaged badly taking in water and slowly tilting on its side. But if I remember correctly the Captain and a large portion of the crew all basically bailed on the ship after gaslighting all the passengers and left them all to fend for themselves confused and pissed off as I would be if I was lied too and then watched the captain and crew hitail it off the ship without trying to even evacuate all thier passengers let alone even some of them smfh. I'm not a huge ship guy but I believe "MOST" captains and ship companies still believe in the sentiment of a captain should only leave his post once every single life aboard has been evacuated and put in life boats or rafts. If not that a captain should go down with his ship if necessary. So to lie to your passangers and then only evacuate yourself and crew was one of the most abhorrent disgraceful things any one has ever seen especially in the eyes of other captains...

​@@annenelson5656Now I may have gotten some details wrong if not Imternet Historian could been over playing some with the details to lean into comedy but that's what I remember once I looked into the actual incident a little more. And it all happened cause the captain was trying to impress some chick and was too worried about getting laid Inevitably neglecting his focus on and attention along with poor communication between his crew taking his orders. But what a insane f*ck up followed by a DISGRACEFUL cowardice handling of the entire situation after they knew for sure they were screwed. I understand not trying to panick thousands of passengers and cause chaos. But to blatantly tell everyone that it's ok and the ship is fine when being well aware that no actually the ship is severely damaged Sinking and falling over... All because he wanted to make sure him and his close crewmembers got off first instead of trying to evacuate everyone first since ya know he's the CAPTAIN AKA the one in charge and is suppose to initiate protocols and demands. Once he bailed it was utter pandemonium of confusion and fear. I believe he ended up doing some jail time for this later on but it was a long time ago I learned about all this. Just find it crazy it has not gotten more coverage from KZfaqrs or Globally considering just how bad the entire scenario was from the reason they grounded. The negligence from the captain. The narcissistic self centered way he went about it after CAUSING THE WHOLE NIGHTMARE all to try and impress some girl. My God. Should be remembered in history as one of the biggest idiotic accidents to ever happen on a boat and the seas. But outside of that one instance I do believe cruise ships have a good reputation for not crashing, Sinking or any other issues outside of the "Titanic" debacle from over 100 years ago. I assume when building essentially a skyscraper amusement park that floats and carries tens of thousands of humans. They over build them because if they don't or if they were cheap or lazy it could easily cost a company BILLIONS but worse off be a tragedy of unspeakable proportions with all the deaths via drowning or being stranded at sea to even becoming shark food smh...

​@@Slvl710to be fair all the government does with tax payer money is waste it lmao. Or send it to other countries or give it to people who are not even citizens of said country let alone help build it and pay into the taxes smh. But I understand what your saying lol. It would be Such a EXPENSIVE f*ck up that someone would actually have to be held accountable this time rather than the classic "Were firing the scapegoat but paying him a severance package of 110 million dollars just so he knows he messed up! This will send a message" lmao. Which is what Boeing did a couple years ago after the issues with the 2 huge crashes. And as you can tell every other day clearly the issue at Boeing wasn't only not addressed at all or any major changes came to pass. But instead it seems they doubled down on all the things that causes the while mess as thier planes are falling apart constantly in mid flight. Lives are at stake but all they care about is being cheap and stuffing thier CEO/Board of executives pockets with cash.

Ok there comrade.

@@kahnadah In my forty four years, I don't think anybody's every accused me of being a vatnik before. New milestone.

@@GrouchierBear The first time I heard about the round battleship I figured it might work if they had a large round top deck and twin side by side hulls under it, like two Battleship hulls, or a cruiser and two frigates for an outrigger type design, egg shaped maybe even. With the current tech you could make a behemoth of an Air Craft Carrier that way.

Well there was also the issue that the size of the engines needed to move a round ship left no room for the coal bunkers, so the ships has terrible range, which is something of an issue in RUSSIA, even for a river monitor.

@@Karagianis Makes sense. A ship with that hull profile probably needed a lot of machinery to get up to a useful speed.

Do you see torpedo boats?

You forgot the HMS Hood and the Yamato Class, not to mention the "Large Light Cruisers" (at least they were converted to functional aircraft carriers).

@@gregwasserman2635 well Greg in my opinion Hood is ok for 1919 when built, but without a huge overhaul in the 1930's it becomes less a than "ideal", but it is nothing that could not have been fixed if the RN had given it a refit, instead of HMS Royal Oak which even refitted was less useful by 1939 than HMS Queen Elizabeth or Warspite Yamato there is nothing badly wrong with (well there is the useless 25mm AA), other than Japan makes a mistake in keeping them a massive secret - they are to be deterrent to war with the US and UK if they don't know that they exist. As for Fishers follies, you are correct they made much better A/c and the now spare 15" turrets from Glorious and Courageous in storage go onto HMS Vanguard and Furious 18" are used on Monitors.

@@steveclarke6257, the HMS Hood had one battle where the enemy was firing back...and it blew up. The 4 other R class battleships survived until the end of WW 2. As for the Yamato class, they were wonderful targets. They had terrible AA guns and their main battery had a poor rate of fire compared to contemporary US battleships. Funny you bring up the Vanguard. It makes my dishonorable mention list. Decent design with dated main battery.

@@gregwasserman2635 HMS Hood was an excellent ship when she was commissions but 20+ years of technological innovation rendered her less capable though a rebuild would have cured that. Yamato was a very powerful Battleship which was swarmed by a massive air assault no ship could have survived, except a submarine which had dived. But let's not forger KM Bismarck. Totally unable to shoot down any of the small number obsolescent Swordfish which attacked her and crippled the ship. And when faced with much lighter Battleships which were not (a: well overdue for refit and b: so new they still had workmen on board) was rendered useless as a fighting unit within minutes. What a hunk of over praised junk. As for Tirpitz, the only time she fired her guns was a brave bombarding of a defenseless weather station. How bravely done in the style of Baby killer Hipper. And lets not forget those German WW2 destroyers which were so unstable they had to retain up to 1/3 of their fuel as ballast

@@johnfisher9692, interstingly, the Bismarck had no trouble destroying the Hood. It was a poor design and the RN should have not completed it. RN battlecruisers proved to be very fragile. The Yamato class was of very little use. It was a fuel hog and not all that fast. The USN fast battleships were far more useful. The Iowa class, I was told while on a tour of the USS Missouri, could turn inside a Fletcher class destroyer. They could also keep up with the carrier task forces in WW 2 with ease. Though completed late in the war, they saw a lot of action complared to the Yamato class, both ships spending most of their short careers in port. I'm sure their main guns would have been useful in the Solomons, but they burned way too much fuel.

Actually it's the other way around. Common misconception

Thanks broccoli macaroni! Love my fans

The construction of Vasa was like modern movie-making -You begin with something you think is going to be amazing but then the producers demand rewrites and reshoots until it premieres as something that sinks like a rock at the box office.
