😂

Torpedo boats were in effect light destroyers/destroyer escorts rather than true small TBs like the S-boats, because they were so much larger and more heavily armed compared to the smaller Schnellboote.

Cool video as always, Important History! Its good to know what happened to Prinz Eugen between when the war ended in May, 1945, and when she sank off Kwajalein Atoll in December, 1946. However, I noticed that you have yet to make a video on Leipzig, so in the next video could you cover the history of her?

Always thought the off-set rear super-firing turrets were interesting.

Probably the most beautiful heavy cruiser ever built. Fantastic 8"guns too.

Great Video!

Generally a well done video and thank you for pronoucing her name correctly, although you seemed to have skipped over her service in both 42 and 43 and there were a few minor techincal hic-ups and details left out, like for example her status as flagship in both 42 and 44-45 or that the majority of people that she and the rest of the Kriegsmarine aided were civilian refugees and not soldiers, although soldiers were also present, but they were the miniorty. Also, did you know that theres so much more to her post-war story, then just the weapons tests and the atomic bomb tests? Or that she went through a hurricane to rescue a distressed civilian ship, on her way to America? She was a living legend!, and the American public and press wanted her. You weren't lying when you said she was wanted by everyone. As the Head Admin of the Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen Appreciation Association, I would like to invite you to our association, if you want to learn more about her, her service, her crew and more with and without stuff that isnt covered in modern mainstream media. facebook.com/groups/2726189724224113/ Our association consists of fans, admirers and historians who all have a love for this great ship. We also have teamed up with the award-winning wreck photographer Becky Kagan Schott, who has some amazing photos of Prinz Eugen´s wreck and she plans on doing another future dive for more stunning photos. Given that we sadly does not have a museum ship to preserve, we are very passionate and serious about her legacy and story and we have recently gained contact with some of the descendants from her crew, which we are honored by. This upcoming 22 of august, we are during a ceremonial visit to Laboe, in order to honor her. The ceremonial date is chosen as such, given that this was the day she was launched, back in 1939. I hope to see you in our association. New members are always welcome and we are always interested in showcasing and teaching her story. With Kind Regards, Head Admin Emil

It is often mentioned that the "Prinz" should have been preserved, and it would have been great if it was. However, we need to remember how these weapons were viewed 80 years ago. Today we look at them as historical artifacts, admire their beauty, technology and power. At the end of WWII The Prinz, Tiger 131, U505 et al were looked at as "nazi" weapons, symbols of evil , even possessing the characteristics of the regime that built them. The last thing the allies wanted to do was preserve them for future generations.

It should be a museum ship.

To bad they decided to use her for nuc tests. It would great to see her as a museum ship. Unfortunately there's no German surface ships still around. I think the Kreigsmarine had some of the best looking ships

Superb work.🇬🇧🙏🇺🇸📚

Thanks for the well researched video. Was most impressed with the video of Prinz Eugen firing at Soviet forces which I have never seen before. She was a most beautiful warship and like Bismarck, the pride of the Kriegsmarine. When examined by Royal Navy engineers they were reported to have said that British shipyards could not build one like her .

Italian warships R 'habitually' overlooked, a shame as they tend 2 B routinely unusual, & often innovative, especially in the ironclad era ❤

I love getting home from work and seeing these, keep up the good work!

Germany's great victory at Jutland had permanently ended the Royal Navy's prestige. By the 1930s Britain had ceased to matter at all.

USS?

Comment++;

Definitely worth a second look. The notion that the ship should be retained from the soviets makes perfect sense.

I think there should be time penalties on players that draw ejections. Rather, for example, if more than 7:30 remains in a quarter, a player may return for the next quarter or half. Under 7:30, a player is out for the ongoing quarter and the next quarter. This means a player tossed in the 1st quarter could return for the third quarter. The second quarter player could return for the fourth quarter, but in the third quarter, a disqualified player would not be able to return until overtime. In the fourth quarter y’all be gone.

Thank you all for watching! An interesting end to such a ship.

No matter when you do them, they are well worth the wait!

My father served on the Roberts during the war, His job was to line up the turrets compass with the ships. Supply PO when not at action stations. Thanks for the information in the clip, I remember my father taking me to Devils point Devonport to look at the ship, when she was moored up.

England. You MUST put your degree First, even if that means dropping YT. You could always come back later, we will be here, young fella me lad.

I really liked this Warship as a kid. Always there in the thick of it all and it was beautiful as well. It's a great pity that it wasn't preserved as a museum piece I would have certainly taken the time to see it.

USS? Correction?

It's all good man. Best of luck with your degree. Just get a useful one and not a pointless one in woke African back hair basket weaving and interpretive papa new guinea butt flute music. Hahahahahahahahhaha

Does not delivering a battleship count as seizing?

8-15 One of the 3 ships modified to mount a 18 inch gun in a limited traverse mounting pointing to starboard.

The14 inch guns were from Bethlehem Steel in US and were supposed to be for a Greek battlecruiser being built in Germany. That was obviously not going to happen so the guns and mountings were sold to Britain. Because of the gun's origin, the four ships were originally given names of famous American Civil War officers, but the US protested this violated its neutrality so they were renamed

By all means focus on your education. Wednesday videos are better because there is always more going on over the weekend than in the middle of the week.

Best of luck with University... and as to the day choose what is best for yourself I am happy either Wednesday or Saturday...

Study hard!

Good luck this upcoming semester! And i agree with Wednesday

Thumbnail is HMS Centurion isn't it, when it was a target ship before being converted into an Anson-a-like.

Wednesday is good. And we'll be here, focus on your degree!

Quality over quantity. 👍👍

Thank you all for your support, it really means a lot! Hopefully you'll understand.
