  1. It is funny how this Navy Admiral is just flat out wrong on pretty much everything he says. Here are the corrections to his statements. If King Kong weighs 50,000 tons and all of that weight is in the limited surface area of his feet, he is not only going through the deck, he is coming out of the bottom of the carrier, breaking her keel and sinking her instantly. I served on the USS Iowa BB61 as a gunners mate, Under Siege has some accuracy but a couple of corrections. The shell they were loading was 2700 pounds, the periscope he was looking through was not a gunsight simply an observation periscope. The gunsight is an optical rangefinder and it has a binocular sight on it and is behind the observation periscope. The optical sight was a backup to the radar controlled gunfire on the Iowa class battleship in WW2. His comments on the movie Battleship are laughable. NO The Iowa's did not move sideways when they fired a full broadside. That is a silly myth and he should know better. The Iowa's internal belt does not exceed 12.1 inches, the fact that it is angled and there is STS hull plating gives it an EFFECTIVE thickness of 17.3 inches of vertical armor. In the movie Greyhound he attributes the wake of the torpedo to cavitation which is INCORRECT. German torpedoes like their American counterparts were powered by compressed air and steam. Those wakes were gas bubbles escaping the torpedo as part of the propulsion system and they left a long tell tail wake easily spotted. The Japanese type 93 Long Lance Torpedo used highly compressed pure oxygen, pure oxygen provides nearly five times as much oxidizer in the same tank volume, thereby increasing torpedo range. In addition, the absence of the inert nitrogen resulted in the emission of significantly less exhaust gas, comprising only carbon dioxide, which is significantly soluble in water, and water vapor, thus greatly reducing tell-tale bubble trails. The rounds pictured in the movie shooting at the German sub were 40mm anti aircraft rounds and 5 inch deck guns not .50 caliber machine guns. The 5 inch gun he calls anti aircraft guns were Dual Purpose guns, equally effective at anti surface and shore bombardment. The SPY-1D is NOT the best radar in the world. The British Type 45 destroyer has a much more modern and powerful radar system than the SPY-1D. The lesson of this video is just because someone is a high ranking officer does not mean they know the first thing about Naval Ships. I was just an enlisted scrub E-5 but being a history and warfare buff I have spent years studying the material but 99% of the people on the planet are going to think an admiral must know more than an enlisted guy.

  2. At 7:23 she is talking about heat seeking missiles don't track humans and his small jet pack would not produce enough heat for a heat seeker to lock onto. FALSE, I was a certified in the Stinger shoulder fired surface to air heat seeking missile. The seeker was sensitive enough that we could lock onto seagulls at a 100 yards.

  3. Damn look at his arms, Shelton has been in the gym clanging plates and dropping weights!

  4. Bears don't eat people.....BULLCRAP. Polar Bears will actively hunt people. I am also sure Timothy Treadwell would disagree with you.

  5. Bears won't attack two or more people, tell Timothy Treadwell that. There are a lot of reports where Brown Bears have attacked two people.

  6. The fact that the United States does not train for Anti Helicopter operations doesn't mean the Russians don't.

  7. At 2:55 she talks about a helicopter can't maneuver out of the way of machine gun fire. Well as a former Infantry soldier I can tell she has never fired infantry weapons like the M-249 SAW. Trying to fire a light machine gun while leaning out of a helicopter that is maneuvering at another target that is maneuvering it is going to be IMPOSSIBLE to land any sort of accurate gunfire. Trying to hit anything from anything other than a stationary supported firing position is an act of futility.
