Comments by "Kenneth Dean Miller" (@kennethdeanmiller7324) on "How to make a Stealth Battleship - WW2 Style" video.

When I only have a few mins to spare this is one of my "go to" videos. One, I really love the fact that they had this idea & decided to try it. Two, the fact that it really worked is incredibly hilarious. And finally, three, Drach displays his art of writing and storytelling very very well. That is my story & I'm sticking to it.👍 🤟 ✌️ 👌

That was probably the straw that made Hitler so crazy that he attacked Russia. I want a shirt that says "HMS Revenge, the worlds first stealth battleship!" And then if anyone asks me about it I can direct them to this video. Or if time permits just let them listen to it on my phone.

That is so awesome & so hilarious!! I hope whoever thought up that idea got one helluva promotion!!! That's the kind of thinking that wins wars. A blunderbuss, was it? I thought it was horseflies. And also, with Adolf Hitler in power, the worries of the English being invaded was VERY REAL. Cuz when you are dealing with a crazy person and that crazy person gets upset about something... he very definitely could have ordered the invasion to begin & then his people are going to try to make it work. I would swear John Cleese had the idea for this stealth battleship attack, well, maybe his father. 😮

@aidanjohnston7505 I have to disagree with you about the USS Alabama, I would notice her every time we passed by her. I was working on an addition to an Austal Shipyard building in 2008 & we were commuting from Pensacola, FL. Never had a problem noticing the Alabama. She would draw my attention even though I was looking at all the gators swimming there. I always wanted to do a tour of her but since I was riding in a crew truck I never got the opportunity. And not much of a chance now considering I'm living right outside of DC. However, I was NOT driving. I was a passenger. Now if you are the one driving I can see it being difficult to spot something that you already know is there.

I totally regret NOT having my Dad take me to see the USS Alabama! It would have been something fun for both of us to enjoy. The only other fun things we did together was fishing & water skiing. But I wasn't very good at water skiing. My Dad & I always had problems. He drank alcohol and it made him an a$$hole most of the time. I still loved him. I just didn't like being around him if he was drinking. Which he was almost always drinking. My wife & I quit drinking in 2006. After a year we were eating at our favorite Mexican restaurant and she wanted to share a frozen margarita. And considering that it was hot summer time I totally agreed. That was 2007 & neither of us drank alcohol after that. She passed away in 2015 but I still don't drink.

The Japanese tried doing the same thing but different by attacking the Aleutian Islands right before Midway. But because Nimitz was reading Yamamoto's mail the Aleutian Islands were basically ignored. Figured anyone that went there would be so cold that they would eventually leave cuz of the weather. But then Halsey had to go & fall for the "Hey we have aircraft carriers with about 10 planes on it trick." Which hung Taffy 3 out to dry. The greatest thing about the Naval Battle of Samar is the Japanese was faced with surface units & aircraft at the same time. When they had the big guns firing the AA crews couldn't man there guns. And when the AA crews were manning their AA guns they couldn't fire the bigger guns at surface units. So the Japanese were faced with major conundrum! Do we want to fight the planes or the ships? F-IT!!! Run away!!

And it was purely happenstance that Rommel was away from Normandy when the landings actually DID take place there. And the Allies were VERY LUCKY he was away imho!

You know that one pissed Hitler off to no end! If they told him. Whomever was in charge of that port may have just told command it was all due to the bombing raids but then mined the entrance to the harbor.
