It’s just past midnight on Friday November 13th, 1942. The opening of the battle of Guadalcanal. On board the USS San Francisco is Rear Admiral Daniel Judson Callaghan. The fleet of 13 ships was all that stand between the strategically vital Henderson Field on Guadalcanal and an incoming Japanese fleet. The fleet of 13 ships were all that were left battle ready after engagements with the Japanese, and now the Japanese are coming for Guadalcanal. On board the IJN Hiei is Admiral Hiroaki Abe. The event is marked by a series of mistakes in command on both sides leading to confusion and friendly fire. The men fought with bravery and commitment but at a terrible price.

Great Video!! A few mistakes though. 1. Atlanta didnt wander into the line of fire of her ally, her ally mistook her for a japanese ship. 2. The aircraft were from USS enterprise. Enterprises forward elevator was destroyed, so the aircraft flew from enterprise, sand Hiei, and landed at henderson field.

One thing not mentioned is that the San Francisco was captained by a Medal of Honor holder, Captain Cassian Young, who earned his Medal during Peral Harbor while commanding USS Vestal, the repair ship next to Arizona. McCandless earned the Medal of Honor for his actions on Friday the 13, and would retire as a Rear Admiral in 1952. Not only that, but McCandless son would be the first American to execute an untethered spacewalk.

Friday the 13th may be unlucky for anyone in this battle, but for USS Fletcher it may be her luckiest day of her life. 13 American ships engaged in the fight. Fletcher was the 13th or last ship in line. Fletcher had a brush of death when 3 Japanese torpedoes ran deep only inches under her keel. Becoming the 3 destroyers to enter the meele, she was the only one still capable of combat by the end. Her hull numbers 445 add up to 13, the task force number 67 also add up to 13. She was named after Admiral Frank FRIDAY Fletcher. By the end of the war she earned 13 battle stars. No wonder Fletcher earned the nickname Lucky 13.

@kennethhanks6712 7 ай бұрын

Adm Callaghan's greatest error was, since he had no real training or understanding of the new radar technology, that he had placed his two ships with the best/newest radar installations (cruiser Helena and destroyer Fletcher) at rear of his force where they were least effective. Coupled with no firm battle plan and the relatively inflexible formation he used with confused communications his initial advantage of surprise was lost and the battle became a "barroom brawl".

@Jamesbrown-xi5ih 3 ай бұрын

The radar of that era but he was used to dealing with was not reliable in the conditions they were facing. The new sets were an improvement, but you needed to know that they could be trusted. On top of that, he knew the situation they were going into was grim, but it had to be done. And it was not his fault that the following ship ordered stop, throwing the battle line into chaos.

The IJN Amatsukaze mentioned near the begging of this video was Captained by Tameichi Hara. He has a memoir titled 'Japanese Destroyer Captain', in which he goes into great detail about this battle and the Amatsukaze's fight for survival to return to base. He would later be put in charge of the IJN Shigure, which is often considered one of the luckiest ships of the war(the only survivor of The Battle of Surigao Straight for example); he would also captain the light cruiser IJN Yahagi, witnessing the end of the IJN Yamato(his ship would sink soon after). Its a great book if you focus only on his actual battle experiences, not his foreshadowing of defeat and excuses that every other Japanese memoir seems to fall back on(similar to most German Memoirs as well).

They tried again and again and ended up losing 600+ aircraft and most of the highly trained crews as well.The main problem was that Rabual was too far from Gaudancanal it took hours to get there and back and they did not have much time to fight when they finally got there and to add insult to injury most of the pilots and crews were lost many killed by the natives or ended up drowning. That was the real turning point of the Pacific war they lost almost all their trained carrier pilots because of the bad decision to have them fly sorties from so far away where they could not recover them when they were shot down instead of using army or other pilots they never recocered and spent the rest of the war without their best carrier pilots.@@sayhallo3769

The most chaotic and craziest naval battle of WWII. The Solomons campaign in general saw some of the most important, and most dramatic, naval battles of the entire war. It should be noted that Abe likely wouldn’t have had the time or ammunition to accomplish the bombardment mission even if he had pressed on, so it’s debatable whether he should have pushed his luck. This sort of thing is actually common with a lot of battles where the Japanese get criticized for throwing away a chance for a win.

It is great to see rising interest towards the naval battles around Guadalcanal. For the past few years more and more content creators have begun to shine light towards these important battles and not just talk about Midway (Drachinifiel, Montemayor, The Operations Room etc.). I think Yarnhub should do more videos about the Guadalcanal naval campaign. Perhaps do all the battles? I am especially waiting for Yarnhub's videos of Savo Island and Tassafaronga. If Yarnhub decides to make videos about these battles may I recommend making the Japanese the protagonists in these battles (usually its the Allies who are the protagonists in your videos). In the case of these battles a great idea for protagonists would be admirals Mikawa and Tanaka respectively. Keep up the good work.

The US did maintain control in the area, but thanks to Henderson Field. The entire reason these battles happened at night was because the Japanese were coming in by night to evade air attacks. But this meant they couldn’t bring anything slow (and they also couldn’t bring anything especially large in confined waters; even the Kongos were pushing the envelope), and they didn’t have enough time to resupply troops.

This battle was a barroom brawl where all combatants had knives, and someone knocked the lights out, but that's Ironbottom Sound for you. Confused, hectic, close quarters fighting where both sides hurled everything they could spare at each other. I believe most, if not all, of the wrecks in Ironbottom Sound from the six month slugfest at Guadalcanal have been located. I've seen a map of the wrecks, and there's a lot of names there.

@kristelvidhi5038 Then the US Navys darkest night would probably be the earlier Battle of Savo Island where 3 US and 1 Australian heavy cruiser were lost with virtually no loss to the Japanese force. Only the fact the Japanese force was delayed by the massacre long enough they had to withdraw before daylight and US air attacks thus sparing US transports in the landing area prevented total disaster.

USS Laffey is revered within the US Navy having 2 ships adpoting its name during the War, the Benson class, the one you see here and the later Allen M Summer class, both having great merits, with many titles like Solomons Devil, Ship that cant die. Other than the shared name, another thing they have in common is the dd's madlad crew and skipper.

Just finished todays playing of WoWS and I didnt blink for entire clip (which was short)... All mentioned vessels are premium ships in game... So few battles of the steel ships happened in history, and thousands happened with sailships... There are many ppl like me, crazy about ww2 or ww1 sea battles, yet just a handfull of good movies about it. Even this 10minutes clip meant a lot. Keep up with greeeaaaat work...
