Comments by "Admiral Tiberius" (@admiraltiberius1989) on "American and Japanese Damage Control in WW2" video.
Last time I was this early Nelson was still sailing towards the Franco Spanish fleet. But fantastic video as always Drach. "Sounds like burning" could be and should be on a T shirt. The Wasp was poorly built and designed. Her fuel storage units were only minimally armored. She was built to use up remaining tonnage allotted to the US Navy. Once those torpedoes hit her, she was doomed. The Yorktown most likely would have survived all her accumulated damage if it wasn't for a submarine torpedo that finally took her down. More proof that the Yorktown class was fantastically well built and made of special stuff. Lastly.....I'd like to bring up the cases of the USS New Orleans and USS Laffey. Both ships suffered extreme damage and yet were saved. The USS Kidd took a kamikaze to the side and she survived. I'm going see her again in a few weeks. Like seeing an old friend.
