My dad fought in the Atlantic. Midshipman on HMS Suffolk (there for Bismarck), and later on convoy escort to Russia. He was 17 in 1941. Just a kid. He never spoke much of it all but did write an autobiography fortunately - He was older than I am now when I was born (in my mid 40’s). My interest for all things naval has been there since the beginning and so has my gratitude for anyone who has gone to war for our safety and our democracy. Not forgetting what these men and women sacrificed isn’t only important, it’s essential, now more than ever, and that’s why channels like Historigraph will always have my support.

My dad was on a liberty ship in 1944-1945. I need to do some research as to which ones. I have the medals and he has Atlantic and Pacific medals. He went all the way around the world. He didn't talk much about it and died when I was young, before I joined the military. Kind of sad we are losing our families stories because these guys didn't think much of their sacrifice. Funny thing also, my dad was 48 when I was born, so like you, we probably missed a lot of the stories we would have heard if we were older.

Between American industrial muscle and British science/ technology, the Germans were on the path to defeat. British technology like radar, ASDIC sonar, HUF-DUF and code-breaking combined with American aircraft design and ship building made for a powerful logistical machine. Getting it done since 1914: GB🤝US On the Merchant Navy, which at the outbreak of WW2 accounted for 33% of the whole world's merchant fleet, King George the VI made this speech in September 1939: "In these anxious days, I would like to express to all Officers and Men and in the British Merchant Navy and the British Fishing Fleets my confidence in their unfailing determination to play their vital part in defence. To each one I would say: Yours is a task no less essential to my people's experience than that allotted to the Navy, Army and Air Force. Upon you, the Nation depends for much of its foodstuffs and raw materials and for the transport of its troops overseas." "You have a long and glorious history. I know that you will carry out your duties with resolution and with fortitude, and that high chivalrous traditions of your calling are safe in your hands. God keep you and prosper you in your great task".

One plane that is not mentioned, but however shown in the video for a short snippet, is the PBY Catalina. It had the range and loiter-time to sweep vast pieces of ocean on single flights. Near the end of the war in the Atlantic, they had equipment that could find german U-boats at extreme ranges. When they then approached, preferably at night when the U-boats were more likely surfaced, they would switch to their close range systems. These were large basically water flashlights, that would illuminate the U-boat, forcing them to make a choice, ditch the communications equipment and pray that you submerge in time, or stay on the surface where it you versus a Catalina with a variety of weapons that are designed for a single purpose that it has proven very capable of, sinking the very thing you are in. Most chose the first, but now they were a hopefully intact submarine stuck in the middle of the dangerous Atlantic with no communication whilst being lengths the human mind can barely comprehend away from any submarine den or safety. After some time of no communication the german strategists back home would consider you MIA. This was the real power of a single Catalina.

If memory serves, the British were very annoyed about that. They had captured U-boats before, but usually scuttled them at sea after removing everything of value, especially classified documents and Enigma machines. This meant that the Germans didn't know that the U-boats had been captured and their codes were compromised. I could be wrong, admittedly. Just talking from memory.

In the words of Nakita Khrushchev after the war: "...some remarks Stalin made ... stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany's pressure, and we would have lost the war." The Lend Lease provided to the USSR continued well after Germany capitulated and would not be terminated until September 20th, more than a full month after V-J Day. Of the nearly 18,000,000 tons of aid send to Russia, about 23% would be supplied via the Arctic Convoys. Escorted almost totally by the Royal and Royal Canadian Navy warships, of course.

Unfortunately, the downside of dictators that support dictators.

(I don't know why it's always called "the Enigma" when there are so many versions of it, the army, navy, and air force used different ones, the Italians had yet another one, not to mention backup systems such as hand ciphers, all of which had varying difficulties in cracking and often each needing capture of original documents.)

Excellent video overall. The issue of Liberty Ship hull cracking was due to two factors for the most part and not shoddy or hurried construction. The welding of hulls was a new technology. Riveted hulls, should a crack start, it would only propagate through the single riveted plate and not to the other plates riveted to it. Welded plates were a solid unit with the other hull plates, and a crack could therefore potentially propagate through the entire hull. The second issue was that the corners of the cargo hatches of Liberty Ships were at a 90 degree angles and this serves as a stress riser with the majority of the cracking appearing between the #3 hatch and the forward part of the house. The statistics regarding Liberty Ship hull cracking are very overblown. Most statistics regarding hull cracking and failure include cracking/failure from all causes. These statistics include all ship classes with failures due to enemy action, running aground, collisions with other ships and so forth. The simple solution during war time was to weld curved braces at the four corners of the cargo hatches. The SS Jeremiah O'Brien (Pier 35 in San Francisco) the last unaltered and fully functional Liberty Ship has such modifications. A report by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Homer Research Laboratory from 18 July 1997 (I have a copy in my files) shows that only three Liberty Ships actually broke in half due to the seas alone, two in heavy seas and just one in normal seas.
@dynamo1796
22 күн бұрын
Worth noting as well the reason they moved to welding was for speed - it was a new technology in shipbuilding but it was much much faster than riveting. The downside was that one a weld failed, the entire seam would allow the crack to propagate, riveted plates do not. On the otherside, riveted plates could buckle if overstressed and the Atlantic was the roughest ocean that the Allies operated at scale in. Ships were massively stressed by North Atlantic storms and ships being lost to the weather was not a new occurrence.

Something I remember hearing about the Liberty ships, although I have no idea if its accurate, but it was said that the ship paid for itself if it was able to make a single cross Atlantic voyage.

sometime early in the war, Roosevelt said the US would build 6M tons of shipping a year. He pulled this number of the air because it was not an agreed upon number. This was in the newspapers. I believe this is why Doenitz thought he would have to sink 600K tons/month. The bigger matter in convoy speed was not vs. submarine submerged speed but rather surface speed, about 17-18 kt. Subs were deployed in a picket line. By mid-43?, there were escort carriers, forcing subs to submerge in daylight if a convoy was near. Once spotted, it would have to race ahead, and wait for others to join for a wolf pack attack. The convoy sails at 10-11kt continuously. The submarine can only be on the surface during the night, which is very short in the summer.

The Second World War was a truly monumental conflict, and epic in its proportions, both in terms of material employed, and in human cost and endeavour. It is highly doubtful if humankind will ever see its like again. Which in a way is a good thing, because for all its achievements and countless acts of bravery and fortitude, there was in equal measure, great suffering and heartache. I for one will forever be indebted to them and grateful for their sacrifice.

At 4:26 HMCS Regina in RCN colour scheme. As usual practically no information given on RCN involvement, which was massive! By 1943 two thirds of all convoys on the North Atlantic route were escorted by the RCN. By the end of the war Canada had the third largest navy in the world.

@@historigraph But you mentioned the U.S. I guess they only deserve a separate mention even though they were also allies

@historigraph do you know what the UK shipping capacity was before the war? It would help to show how long the UK would have been able to sustain the losses they were taking. Thanks!

One question for the Soviet lovers. How many U-Boats did the Red Navy sink ?

Seven in total, though some were by shore batteries.
