Great story of Norwegian resistance to the German attack in WW2. War had not been declared, Hitler despatched one of the most modern battle cruisers of the German navy, the Blucher, with about 1,000 troops on board to seize Oslo. Arriving at night the Blucher had failed to respond to a challenge from a guard boat and then came to Oscarborg. The fortress was manned by an elderly officer, two regular sergeants and a couple of dozen conscripts with a few weeks service. The casemates shown early in this video fired. They were from early 1900's but large calibre, at point blank range, they did serious damage, causing major fire on board the Blucher, which carried on. When this video first shows the aircraft carrier, there is a block house on the shore line which was a static torpedo battery, containing WW1 vintage Whitworth torpedoes. These fired, scoring 2 hits and the Blucher sunk with great loss of life. The Gerald Ford probably sailed right over the wreck, I wander if the crew knew anything about what was below them?
@klade5031
10 ай бұрын
Slight correction. Blucher was a *heavy* cruiser, not a battlecruiser. It's an entire weight class difference as historically, the German iteration of the battlecruiser concept was speed and armor at the cost of firepower and were essentially designed to be capable of taking hits, especially against the caliber of the guns the fortress had, and capable of functioning as secondary battleships as opposed to the more glass cannon approach the British had.

@@Horible4 It’s not the mapping of the waterways that I was thinking about, but rather the fact that such a large vessel is going through them. The estuaries and channels of Chesapeake Bay have been thoroughly mapped for centuries, especially since it’s such a high traffic area. Even so, I still feel some concern when even my little destroyer goes a-steaming through those waters! And destroyers are much more maneuverable than carriers! There’s just so much to consider when driving ships: maneuverability, momentum, traffic density, etc. All of these considerations magnify in significance when in what we in the Navy and wider seafaring world call “restricted waters.” Now you have to make sure your position on your charts matches your actual position in the waterway, now you have to pay attention to the depth of water, now you have weird physical phenomena like squat and bank cushion to worry about, now you have to make sure that other watercraft around you don’t act dumb (ferries and pleasure craft are particularly notorious). My point is that no matter how well-mapped and well-traveled it may be, a narrow waterway is a narrow waterway. And if we destroyermen need to be on our A-games, knowing precisely when/where/how much we must turn and how fast we can safely go, when navigating narrow waterways in our naval equivalent to a high-performance sports car, then carrier drivers, having the equivalent of a semi-truck pulling an oversized load to contend with, must be on their A+ game!

Idk why, but Imperial March instantly played in my head when the carrier slowly came into view.

I envisioned the Somali pirates when they attacked the carrier group with Kalashnikovs. What a brilliant idea - when one's been chewing a ton of khat. 🤪

Absolutely beautiful view there in Norway. Wonderful! I would have loved to be in a personal boat on the other side of the ships. I have worked with people in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland. We in a way are brothers and all contribute where and how we can -- how our societies should interact. From USA.

She puts off a smaller wake than the little motorboats following her. That’s incredible

Her screws are also a bit farther underwater lol. Hull speed is also a pretty fascinating phenomena relating to a ship's wake generation (and subsequent drag) vs her length. Part of why such massive ships can make 30+ knots!

@@Werepie she’s so big I’d expect her to throw some waves off horizontally 🤷♂️ People jump the wake of great lakes freighters on jet skis up by my house. She’s probably designed better though.

The UK is no longer a naval power. Her navy used to be the most powerful in the world...now she has less than 70 ships total when she used to command thousands of the best and most famous vessels ever put to sea. She is the weakest she has ever been in her modern history. Pitiful state of what was once the mighty royal navy.
