I was just teasing guy, you do a great job and I love the channel, thank you so much for what you do.

I apologise if I came off a little harsh. I've watched your entire video backlog, so I noticed it right away and I found it hard to concentrate on the retelling.

Not at all. I thought I should just clarify. Your comment was respectful and informative. 😁 Thanks for speaking up

I don't think the audio is bad, thanks for the new video, they are always interesting!

It's honestly not that bad compared to some other channels. Maybe against your other content it's impacted, but I had no issues with it.

😂

It works like a charm if your deaf !

@@markdudley3831 your deaf what?

While it seems cool, it doesn't make it easy to listen for all viewers and will cause some of us to just browse the recommendeds to the right and go elsewhere.

😂😂

🤣

That's the spirit

Yes. There is a memorial in the Elder Park across the road from the front of the shipyard you saw in the photo. It has plaques on the 4 sides with the names of the sailors and the workers lost. The memorial states why it is there. The last time I saw it there was a wreath of poppies on it. Fairfield's was previously David Elder shipyard and there is a statue of Lady Elder sitting on a throne in a shielded garden. For some reason there is a long narrow pond in the park. There might still be a nurses home called the David Elder.

😂

Or in Michael Barrymore's pool.

🤣

Yeah, same.

Same, watching on a tablet. Went to the comments and found out. If we only had these nit pickers on the sub in the story, wouldn't have sunk. If it sunk, the nit pickers go down with it,win, win.

The K class were jolly good und wee ain’t tauking no cock effya sleek ills of her! So the test depth was so shallow that she could easily exceed it with her bow while her stern was still half out the water? So she couldn’t turn & regularly collided with shit? So she was quite fond of killing ‘er English crew? So she sometimes exploded if she sprung a leak in the covers over her (retractable) funnels? So the sailors in the boiler room had to work in 15 minute shifts because it was always over like 120 degrees in there? She wuz the King’s Submarine, and it pleasured us English, right?

Electric moters underwater Main propultion sails Thats worse

@@nikolaideianov5092 That might work better, for the heat and weight of the boilers plus their stacks and air induction made those subs so unwieldy and prone to flooding. The crews hated them they stank of fuel oil and were hot as heck.

@@partygrove5321 small diesels for power and sails for movement working better lol

@@nikolaideianov5092 Ironically the Ks had a diesel to charge the batteries.

Thanks mate 👍🏻

The design defect was the British Admiralty. The K-Class was designed with a steam engine, which doomed it to having poor maneuverability. So naturally, now that the British have a sluggish sub with poor response times on the engine, the Admiralty dictates that the K-Class is to sail in formation with the Home Fleet. Yes, they wanted a submarine to participate in battles like Jutland like it was any other ship. A ship type that at the time was slower and less maneuverable than literally the rest of the fleet even before the poor design of the K-Class gets involved. You better hope you never have fog when the home fleet sets out. Too bad for the Royal Navy, they DID end up having exactly that. K1: Collided with K4 off of the coast of Denmark on Nov 18 1917. Was scuttled to prevent capture. K4: Had said collision with K1. Made it back to port. On Jan 31, 1918, Said Fog happened. K4 was hit by K6 AND then K7. All hands lost. Also, it once ran around in Jan 1917. K5: Lost due to what is believed to be exceeding crush depth on Jan 20, 1921 in a mock battle. K6: Struck K4 due to Said Fog as well as a bunch of other chaos going on that day. Survived with a damaged bow. K7: Struck K4 due to said Fog as well as a bunch of other chaos going on that day. Survived with a damaged keel. Yes, Keel. It ran over the K5. K12: Once got stuck at the bottom of Gareloch. They got lucky and were able to refloat themselves. K13: This video...AND then later due to that SAME Fog and the chaos it caused collded with K14 as K22. Neither sunk K14: See K13 for what happened to it K15: it found a way to sink when moored on Jun 25, 1921 due to hydraulic oil expanding in the heat only to contract overnight that day resulting in the diving vents managing to open. This was a month after having water find its way into the furnaces and making her sink stern first to the bottom, but in that case the crew managed to react quickly enough to resurface the sub K16: Same exact story as K12. K17: The reason K4, K6, K7, K13/22, and K14 ended up crashing into each other was because they were all trying to NOT hit K17. K17 meanwhile was busy trying to not sink due to being hit by a fucking BATTLECRUISER, the HMS Fearless. The class was a fucking disaster story.

​@@Daedwartin2 👏🏻

@@Daedwartin2 The real story is more nuanced. When we think of 'steam engines' we think of clunky old piston engines with their maze of levers and pushrods. These were state-of-the-art Parsons steam turbines which turned the unacceptably-slow diesel-powered prototype into a high-performance machine, easily able to outpace the surface ships (when surface running). Impressive performance for that time. Remember, submarine warfare was new, and at the time (1913) subs were expected to travel ahead of surface fleets. Taking advantage of their stealth came later. The poor maneuverability was simply due to the 339 ft length, not choice of powerplant. We can laugh today at the notion of steam-powered submarines, but of course the modern nuclear submarine is just that. Only the boiler is different. I think the Royal navy was gutsy to try such an unusual approach, and although the concept ultimately failed I do have respect for innovators who can think outside the box.

Same defect in The Herald of Free Enterprise.

​@@Daedwartin2Have you read the book too? I got mine in Govan itself. A stall on a street corner and I wanted something to read on my way home. Dead cheap too.

Sounds like whoopee goldwhatsherface 😂

Thanks. 👍🏻

Yes

Or sub sub-contractors?

Ahhhh i sea what you did there.

Well the yard where they built HMS Hood, RMS Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth are further down the river. In Govan, near the Institute, I found Water Row. As you walked down it your feet started splashing.

Thanks 👍🏻

alternatively -- it's amazing they were able to build and run this sub, given that underwater technology looked like THAT at the time. I mean, k13 looks an operates just like a modern sub, over 100 years ago, when diving suits still had diving bells and umbilicals on them

​@@IntegralKingthe only differences is a nuclear reactor provides the Steam as opposed to oil fired boilers

​@@IntegralKingMany professional divers still need umbilicals. Providing heat as well as breathable He/O2 mixture.

Right. Thanks 😀

👌🏻

👌🏻 thanks

👍🏻 thanks

🤣 Thanks.

😂 I think I'll take that.

if you want a good video to watch about the K class have a look at Drachinifel he's done a video on it and many other naval ships up to the 50s

@@123JWhyte The K-class review is noteworthy because unlike all of his other reviews about half of the runtime is dedicated to accidents and they are pretty much all horrible. The K-class might very well be the worst submarines produced in large numbers in history.

A good book is simply called "The K Boats". Well worth the read. I actually love k boats and to a degree they were a really feasible idea to a problem. Micro Mir do two lovely 1/350th models one without and one with the "Swan" bow.

​@@fionanatalieholden5965I used to have that. The Battle of May Island is on my phone.

👍🏻 thanks

👌🏻 thanks

It’s a genuinely accepted by submariners that this may happen. It could be them or others that make the sacrifice. Doors are closed and the doorman about faces so he can’t see through the window in the door.

@@robinwells8879 why on earth do they put a window in the door???

@@Schreuganoot they do on later sub and it’s a good question but I believe it is so that you can see for yourself the conditions on the other side of the door before opening it.

@@robinwells8879 True. that's a good point.

😂 Thanks 👍🏻

😳 oops

Ahh caal it Guvin. Ask yer bus drivur.

? Fisher ? I don't have the book any longer.

He would have little control of himself in water. People are slightly buoyant while alive. Water currents could easily move him. He happen to go up and there is no way back.

Store Infront of the mic and didn't notice.

Oil. The boilers could be fired up or shut down quickly.

Nice observation honey! :)

That’s a mixing problem maybe

​@@Weird_but_neat It sounds super compressed - like a Skype call

@Commander-McBragg I'm not an audio expert, I can just tell it sounds off. I cannot provide critique other than that. I've seen all of his previous videos, and this one is definitely jarring to me.

Sounds OK to me but I’m used to listening to radio Luxembourg in the 60s.

I don't think he needs anything new because his audio is usually fine. Maybe he didn't do any post processing or something. He obviously did something different for this video

You would be the person who could produce his voice the way he wants it.
