  5. If you take to mind that Yamato underwater protection was uneffective i can' imagine look on the japaness faces when SWARM OF FLETCHERS just rape Yamato. And Fletchers torpedos are not Long Lance, but ther were one of the best naval toropedos in WW2 in this time. If i good remember nearly 400 kg of HBX in warhead. Mk 15 is so much underestimeted because of early fuse problems.

  6.  @sarjim4381  Maybe advanced in JIN but that not even close to US Navy standards. In this time this radar was obselete. Also US Navy start using own radars and electronics to jamm enemy equipment. Yamato without clear weather was blind like the rest of fleet.

  7.  @TheBelrick  You miss big thing, each scheme has flaws but Bismarcks was way more inefective than All-or-nothing. And all US Navy BB use this scheme from Nevada to Montana. You claim is incorrect. Also the british, french and italian BB projects from 1930'use it. Yamato was so tough because of gigantic hull, not because of great project! in opposition of your claim Yamato type try to copy All-or-nothing scheme but designers make it ineffective. Thats fault of design not the conception.

  8.  @sarjim4381  You are comapring two different generations of radar. Type 22 and Type 13 were much worse than latest and mass used allied counterpart, IJN radas can spott and observe target with low resolution and accuracy mesured in kilometers, in oposition to american radars ( which was integrated with FCS, option not included in japaness device!) with accuracy range count in meters! There is a difference in operational use of radar with FCS that use wavelength of centemeters, not like japaness use wavelength of meters! It is totally diffrent level of technology. Japan have the worst electronic equipment from main axis members, Germany and even Italy in cooperation were still behind USA nad GB in naval radars after 1941. In war condition 2-3 years of development is a disaster for side that is behind in that development and production! Even using your data there is no proff that Yamato can use radar to shoot targets that can't be see by human eye. Yamato FCS based on optical and only optical systems! For american useage of radar you have night battle in Surigao Strait, where american BB scores hits in first salvo on enemy! Using only radar! In the rain, low visibility condition and using swarm tactic with smoke screens Yamato can be torpeded to death by swarm of Fletchers! Each Fletcher use radar set integrated with modern FCS and that is fact, not fiction. You also claim: "The Japanese were constantly monitoring our radar emissions. They had excellent electronic knowledge and developed transmitters in the VHF and UHF ranges specifically to jam our radars. It wasn't until the introduction of centimetric radar that the Japanese, like the USN, weren't able to produce effective jammers until the end of the war." That is totally wrong (and im really interested what is source of your claims?), Japan Army and Navy didn't have any real opptions to jamm allied rardars, they even have limited option to observe usage of radar by enemy on mass. There were no real jamming equipment for japaness fleet and army(bye the way in Japan there were no factories providing jamming device, only some prototypes, not in mass production!) Even much more advance Germans have big problems with allied electronical warfare!  Difference between US Navy and IJN was so greate, that even high train in night fight crews of IJN can't keep fight against US Navy (ships equiped in radar) in this conditions! Maybe you don't understand what Drachinifel said in video, but in short that was simple: Yamato have obeselete radar, flagship of IJN can detect enemy, but that is all .... Yamato can't hit targets without optical observation of target! Any evidence that is not true?

  9. In Poland governtments cause idiotic obstacles in buliding a corvett/patrol ship for 18 years (2001-2019) and still is out of service. Just look on ORP Ślązak . I think is one of longest build modern ship. Probably also a very expensive one.

  10.  @sarjim4381  With smoke screens and rain Yamato became blind. Flwtchers with more advance radars can swarm Yamato and sunk it. When Yamato was hit by one torpedo from submarine take some around 2000 tons of water into the hull. From one hit and in the best protected space! Also air planes use to sunk Musashi and Yamato much weaker torpedos.

  11.  @sarjim4381  I understand you still claim that Yamato was able to stop 10-20 Fletcher covered by smoke and rain using his "most advanced in navy"radars to detect them. I ask you, how this radar can help Yamato to get fire solution to target that is covered from his optical systems? Because it clear for me that this obselete radada can't do it. Low resolution, no integration with FCS. This two systems use on Yamato was obselete, US Navy use more advanced and well integrated navigation, observation and fire control radars in the same time. That is interesting because japaness scientist were in top of this field, but Imperial Japan tottaly disgard this advantage. 10/20 Fletcher are armed in 100/200 torpedo tubes, how Yamato can evede that big salvo?

  12.  @sarjim4381  And here you have technical data of american radar devices in WW2. That show you how wrong you are about Type 22 nad Type 13 radar in comaparition to US Navy equipment: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_Radar_WWII.php

  13. Fulmar was as a plane designed as a light bomber, as like the Fairey Battle. It was just redesigned for navy fighter plane. Then as a platform it was not that bad plane.

  14. I think someone lose it in translation. That was probably thing when navy land based Zero's be missnamed as an Army's Zeros.

  18.  @russg1801  That was doctrinal case, not because of flaws of the ship.

  19. Ah uncle Drach stirke again :

  20. What you think what will happen when some lucky US shell will hit the secondary 155mm Yamato turret behind main turrets? No real protection there and this is basicly near main ammo storage for 460mm! Jutland 2.0 for Yamato?

  21. About Babylon 5 quote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_sBNX9dP-M This quote used by uncle Drach make me like him much more :)

  24.  @xxnightdriverxx9576  Problem is in weight of barrels and mount need to give this gun enough eleveation to shoot to fast moving targets like plane. Ealier 5 inch guns were only used to fight with ships and use longer barrels. Later they became dual purpose with shorter one.

  26.  @pioneer_1148  DS as basis was ripoff from B5. And they paid JSM for it. They made same action with ST Discovery, which is ripoff of a game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtaDXnB1YsA Sill like DS9. I hope B5 will be back some point in the future. Maybe some Tillman Battleship there or Drachinifel's Class Corvette in show.

  27.  @ShadrachVS1  I am on board with that. Any education provide in this institution is essential to upgrading humanity in many ways. In Drachinfel we trust, should be the motto of this Academy.

  28.  @ShadrachVS1  And as a Pole, I am waiting for special from Uncle Drach, how Polish Navy in WW2 troll Kreigsmarine and whole Third Reich. There is many of that incidents that I am sure that would be fun video. One of my prefered is when Polish Admiral Unrug, sailor who fought in German Navy back in WW1 and was decorated for his service, just state that from 1st September 1939 he stop recognise German language and he need translation for it. Just imagine faces all that Kreigsmarine officers......

  29.  @mlefebvre007  That is my point. If you look on Yamato plans there is just absurd that 155mm guns ammo storage was unprotected outside citadel. In broadside you have three positions for that hit. Which two are basicly in proximity of main guns ammo storage. I can't find anywhere information about how much was weight of powder charges were in it. I i'm sure that was enough to start a chain reaction and blow up the main storage. I think that many people ignore that flaw in Yamato design. The problem is that is a massive weakness in Yamato project and not many people adress that. In case of USN battleship battleship hitting Yamato even with 14' shell, im sure that will cause massive japaness shock when superbattleship just blow up after few hits. And I am preatty sure that was casue of Yamato expolsion when she sunk in 1945, basicly it looks like one of those storage caught fire after some bomb hit it and bye bye Yamato.
