Interesting that the North Carolina is claimed to only be armored against 14" guns with a sloped 12" belt when the Iowa's are claimed to be armored against 16" guns with a belt only 0.1 inch thicker. One could say that the armor referenced is the conning tower armor (12.7" on the NC vs 16" on the Iowa), or the turret face armor (16" vs 19") but armored conning towers were being dispensed with by late WWII, and turret face armor rarely ever took a direct hit. Deck armor is only a fraction of an inch difference between the two classes, and barbette thickness and design was exactly the same; therefore the North Carolina class was underrated as far as protection goes and was more than capable of fending off blows from a 16" cannon at ranges not dissimilar to that of the Iowa class. When it comes to torpedo protection, the NC scheme outperformed the later SD and Iowa class battleships. .

The vibration problem suffered by the North Carolina class ships was never fully eliminated. USS Washington was the only U.S. battleship to kill an enemy battleship in single combat in WW2. The fact that she was scrapped is a tragedy.

So I’ve of course never seen the Colorados, but I’ve played Colorado in WOWS (so far my favourite battleship I’ve played). But I’ve played and seen the North Carolina in person. Shes beautiful. To anyone who wants to see the NC, do it. It was an honour to be onboard her deck and it’s great to learn more about her in this video. I can’t wait to see the next video!

From the heavily armored, heavily armed, slow Standard-type battleship to the beginning of the fast battleship in the US Navy. You know, the introduction of the fast battleship blurred the distinction between itself and the battlecruiser, with the former being more armored over the latter while being just as fast. Can't wait for the next 2 episodes: The South Dakota-class and the Iowa-class.

23:10 Slight correction here. I19's 6 torpedo spread did hit 3 ships, but the destroyer was in North Carolina's group, not Wasp's. 3 hit Wasp and sank her, 3 missed her but kept going and hit 2 ships that were in Hornet's group. The North Carolina was damaged and had to return to port for repairs, the destroyer O'Brien had her bow hit. She sank a month later in the Pacific trying to make it back to the US for proper repairs.

Love the video, being from North Carolina, I grew up visiting the Showboat in summers, evening getting the honor of meeting the surviving crew including the year they invited the surviving crew of the I-19 one year to return part of the torpedo that hit the North Carolina. Or thing I remember is that they used to have a nightly light and sound show during the summer that told the story of the North Carolina's history during World War II, unfortunately it had been discontinued years ago. Also, thanks for mentioning the Stryker's Bridge, that was something that I learned from the crew how to tell her apart from her sister.

There's a reason for that: In 1922 the allied countries signed the washington naval treaty which restricted the battleships to 16 inch guns which is why they were equipped on rodney and nelson. However the British proposed an extension of the treaty in 1935 called the London naval treaty which further limited the armament to 14 inches. The US supported the treaty which made the British think that it would go through and ordered 14 inch guns for the king george V battleships, however at the last moment japan pulled out of the treaty rendering it null and void but it was too late since the 14 inch guns has already been ordered. As for the vanguard the British were originally going to build 6 lion class battleships which would have 16 inch guns in 3 triple turrets but they didn't have enough of those and producing it would have taken time, what they did have however were 8 15 inch guns so the decision was made to construct the vanguard with 4 twin turrets 15 inch guns and the lion class battleships were cancelled after ww2 ended.

My two cents if the treaty never happened, the 1920 SoDaks would have been the most powerful until the next iteration probably a few years later. Arms race would have continued unless a treaty stopped it. Older ships like the Wyomings and New Yorks would have been extremely outdated by the mid-20, early 30s and would have been sent for training purposes, scrapped or sold to nations with smaller navies

Yes, but it was only because they did repeated sea trials in and out of the Hudson River for weeks on end trying to eliminate the shaft vibrations at high speed (caused by a design flaw in the hull form aft) which was eventually rectified by switching the outer screws to 4 blades and the inner screws to 5 blades. (Note: this "design defect" was present in the Iowa class as well, which is why the Iowa s have that arrangement)

The VR stuff has just forced me to pull out the old board games. Computers are overrated now and gotten worse since Win 95. With dos I could get a computer to do anything I wanted and normally faster than the ones today. The bloat, spying, AI has killed the utility of a computer. That C64 I had growing up was equal to all the computer power combined needed to put a man on the moon. Today's redirects you to crap you don't want to see instead of the site you enter by name and only after 3 entries will it let you see the site you typed in. I like games of strategy but simple 32 square bitmaps is plenty for any game piece.

I would make the argument that the North Carolina class battleships were the US Navy first battle cruisers in actuality. The evidence that I would give to support this is that they were not armored against their own guns. Due to the escalator clause, the US Navy was allowed to gun the North Carolina class, but the current design specs did not allow for up armoring. The North Carolina class were in fact only armored against 14 inch guns. This is a tall tail sign of a true battle cruiser by having the largest caliber guns currently deployed by its serving Navy, but not being armored against those same guns. Further evidence is with the British Navy renowned class battle cruisers, which mounted 15 inch guns but we’re only armored against 13 inch.

Interestingly the British did the opposite, Hms hood was classified as a battlecruiser but actually had advancements in armour than the preceding queen elizabeth class battleships which has caused some historians to claim that the hood was the first fast battleship in the world

One drawback, the North Carolina class had the speed of a fast battleship, but was not fast enough to hunt down cruisers and overwhelm them with battleship armament. Which was the role of a battlecruiser ever since Jutland proved that they couldn't stand in the line of battle. In any event, the armor of the North Carolina class proved more than sufficient, since the belt armor on the NC class is only 0.1 inches thinner than the Iowa's, and when torpedoes are in play, even superior to the subsequent South Dakota class.

​@@rachitkumar1012 HMS Hood's belt tapered from 6 to a maximum of 12 inches, the North Carolina class had a full 12 inch belt with no taper, North Carolina also had nearly twice the deck armor, 4 inch thicker barbette armor and substantially thicker turret armor than HMS Hood. HMS Hood was also fast enough to chase down cruisers, but the North Carolina class was not. If Hood hadn't had that tapered belt she might have withstood the hit from Bismarck that sank her. Make no mistake, HMS Hood was a battlecruiser, and couldn't withstand battleship caliber gunfire in a most unfortunate way. She was a beautiful ship, perhaps even more aesthetically pleasing than the North Carolina class (my personal favorite, and the best looking US battleships ever built)
