well atleast the us and japan are sinking ships together now , last time they sank ships together it wasn't pretty haha

I was stationed on her in the 80’s. Kinda sad to see.

That ship was hit with missiles, cannons and torpedoes and yet it still floats. That ship impress me.

I live in Honolulu, about 5 minutes away from Pearl Harbor where they have all the exercises going on. At night during RIMPAC you can hear ship cannons and weapon fire out to sea, it's just that loud.

Psh that ship wouldn’t have sunk if there were people with flex tape on there

Sad to see my old home, but good to see that She did not go under easy. I think with our damage control teams (rated #2 in the Pacific Fleet) we could have kept her up.

For anyone wondering, rockets at the beginning are rockets launched from HIMARS, not guided missiles. They're meant to be fired into a general area to create confusion and panic, not hit a needle on its head like a missile.

Whew, Thought for a second the Saudis showed up to get a sneak attack in at 2:50.

I love a good old torpedo hit and how it lifts it and breaks it in two.

cool and sad at the same time for me, I have been on that vessel a couple of times, once while under its own power while it was still a commissioned ship.

2:05 NOW THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE

Whaa. 😳What do you mean “ old Ship” I saw her when I was a17 year old sailor 😳 she wasn’t “old” then ! Of course, I’m in my 60’s now .....🤪😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

"You sunk my battleship"

Rest in peace old friend who ever your where it's not just some ship

Government: "Don't litter in the ocean or we will fine you" Also Government:

Thank you for providing the Old Warship for training.

Any one else here from Smarter Every Days video on torpedoes and how he was in a helicopter above the ship because hes a delveopmental weapon tester?

I was on the Ogden LPD5 and sailed along side the Rachine many times.

Poor ole girl may she rest at sea!!

интересно, а попали бы они, если бы сия посудина хотя бы пару узлов дала?

It would be cool if there was an under water shot of it sinking

As Indiana Jones would say: "THAT BELONGS INA MUSEUM!!"

That's an old LST with the bow ramp. When I was a captain in the Marine Corps deployed aboard amphibious ships in 1975, I was CO of Troops aboard the USS Tuscaloosa (LST) during the assault on Koh Tang Island in May 1975. While we were not committed to the assault, we were off shore and were ready (weapons and ammunition had been issued to all Marines) to conduct an amphibious assault if so ordered. I had my company of Marines, tanks, amphibious tractors, artillery, 81 mm mortars, and other heavy weapons that the helicopter assault force didn't have. I was also aboard the USS Denver (LSD) during the evacuation of Saigon in April 1975. There were so many ships involved that it looked like the D-Day landings in Normandy. An experience I'll never forget. I was also a platoon commander in Vietnam 1968-1969. Hard to believe that was over 50 years ago. Anyway, I'm sorry to see the old girl go down, but at least she went down training warriors for future combat. Not a bad way to go.

RIMPAC also includes Australian forces. The final blow for this 1st sinking at SINKEX 2018 was actually delivered by the first firing of a Harpoon from a RAAF P-8A Poseidon

Took two forces to take it out. That must be one tough old ship 😃

Еще немного и мишень победила бы нато. Она хоть потом то затонула??? )))

Memories of rocking n rollin in both smooth and rough seas.

Old is Gold 💪

This blows my mind, that was my ship in 1973

Какой-то анонизм...

God bless you, Racine.......

This upgrade of Battleships is great!

Thats an LST, I was a reservist on the uss boulder.

So that's how you spend million dollars for a 1000 dollar work

I served aboard the Racine till 1978. We did a double West Pack when our replacement ship caught fire. Sad to see her go. 2nd Division.

Target practice on an old ship nicely done

Похоже тут только торпеды решают.💥💥💥

魚雷の威力やばいね

Old is Gold

Very good video 👍👍👍

A game of battleship between US and Japan.

RIP

Beautiful show. Now they are taught a new generation will learn something new weapon.

Hit by missiles and Torpedos but still floating this ship was like my Grand Father .

Nobody : The ship that get sink as Japanese anime girl : thank you for all of memories... Admiral ^^

Well that didn't seem like a very effective system. The salvo of missiles looked impressive when they were launching but there were so many misses on a stationary target. Disappointing to say the least.

That bow shot was brutal!

Most rockin' and rollin' ships that ever floated.

С третьего раза что ли только затопили? Мазилы)))

Good practice for chinese ship in the future.

It would be awesome to have Go Pro footage on the ship.

SmarterEveryDay did a video on this he is the one who filmed a majority of the impacts

that ship is not made in china.....period

15 ракет мимо. А вообще то я против убийств и кого нибудь и чего нибудь. Всё думаю , как Бог мог создать такие создания , Мне было бы стыдно за такую работу. Всем мира.

Good job, guys!

Anyone know what LST this is? I was on the USS Peoria LST 1183 in 78-79. I believe she too was sunk as a target ship.

С 20го выстрела попали))

Чето они его очень долго топят , у нас одно попадание и рвёт на две части

Accurate and deadly!

You can see the Racine in the newer version of Pearl Harbor. When the mustangs are flying around they show them passing her twice, even though she wasn't even around then. The Racine was mothballed in Pearl.

Здрав кораб, слаби ракети и торпеда.

its a sitting target for god's sake what's with all those misses at the start?

Just imagine how many lives this warship has slayed! Now she is being slayed.

next time, please test XASM-3 air-to-ship missiles.

НЕ СТЫДНО БЕЗПОМОЩНОГО БИТЬ

Purpose?

nice

Even though naval ships go out to sea. Watching how close you bring your ship into other territory is valid information. As this video sets its example

Too many misses on a non protected ship is not good,

That ship from the top view almost looks like a battleship at first. I might be heart broken if they sink their own historical battleship

Cool asf ive been wanting to see anti ship missles in real action

What was the first strike where stuff was impacting 100 meters around it multiple times? Artillery that did not hit?

I was on an east coast 6th fleet LST 1983-1985 but it's still sad to see the ex Racine sunk.

Amazing but as beautiful of a sight it is to see a ship come into or leave a port, it is as sad to see one sink. I hope she was a good ship for those onboard.

This newest Battleship for PS5 is crazy realistic. Ima definitely buy this game at launch.

As long as our adversaries stay still we have a chance!

That's no way to send a ship to its final place..disrespectful to the service it rendered for the nation..once a home for 100s of Sailors.. Sad to see it go that way..

Pretty sure Smarter Every Day was there in that same helicopter to film this in slow motion.

Ahh man... That torpedoe did the work... God damn...

Good👍 video

Reminds me of footage from the Falklands War

Don't know why but I was expecting it to break from the middle and go down like a Titanic.

Woww very amazing technology now

It's kind of sad to see her being sunk. I did a WestPac on her back in 1980.

Atleast she didn't go down without a fight

Respect old war equipment

By this they tested their missile

The Racine was once a well kept clean looking ship.

Now THATS ALOTTA DAMAGE!!

This is the the multi-million dollar version of shooting a can in your back yard

cool

So you get rid of decommissioned ships by sinking them?

wow

Keren bossd

At least they arranged someplace for the local fish to call home 🥴

ship execution

2 good

Took a lot of missiles and shells to wreck that things, now imagine how long it would've taken if it were a battleship

Imagine the history and the story that was made bc of that old warship.

One tuff ship
