December 1944: USS Bergall vs IJN Myōkō and Ushio

Excellent content 🎉

Speaking of Russians, surface ships and submarines, a video on the USS Scorpion would be an interesting one for sure!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your telling of history. Your story telling abilities are wonderful and add that something extra to the great subject matter you share.

Those flat Midwestern "A"'s!

THG knows that there's huge market with war buffs. Milk 'em guy!

Never heard this story before and I watch a lot of videos on USA submarines. Thanks

This seems to be the one time Japanese Damage Controll actually worked in WW ll.

History Guy, this is one of your best vids, thank you!!!! Both sides.

Can anyone else hear a cat sleeping in the background around 2 minutes in. I can hear some small light snores.

Thanks, not heard of this action,

Awesome!!

Very well presented.

Submariner stories are always interesting. Thanks History Guy.

another great story from WW2. I read that the submarine attacks on japanese merchant (?) ships starved Japan of raw materials, especial oil and iron ore, so that it reduced its capacity to maintain its war effort. This strangulation was a significant reason the enemy was defeated. I'd say too little is spoken about the contribution of the submariners to the defeat of Japan, which you HG may consider worth telling.

Fascinating! Incredible acts of courage, logic, and "selective listening"! When I was a kid I toured the WWII USS Torsk (Tench class) at the Washington Navy Yard. She was still doing training duty. Between the cramped quarters of the sub, and the full crew aboard, my whole class went from one end of the boat to other. Even though we were only 3 or 4 feet tall, there was absolutely no room to move! It still amazes me what the sub crews went through. Thankfully, the Torsk did not end up being scrapped and is a Museum ship in Maryland.

Does a soul good to hear of such bravery and tenacity.

Your naval stories are among my very favorites. Thank you.

Should talk about the u s s Endicott

I love your theme music! It reminds me of Fleetwood Mac

Too bad this generation gives Japan credit,where none is due, they attacked us, don’t supersede the facts for political correctness

Lost your wonderful information for a while, welcome back!

Always a great story. I love these tales and think the stories bear repeating so that the lives of these men and their exploits are never forgotten. This is American History.

An excellent and very informative video. A job well done sir.

Sure would have liked maps to show where all this was taking place.

Narration still too fast.

You are mispronouncing the USS Bergall.. Try berg ~ all.

Submarine Veteran here. My dad was a WWII diesel boat sailor. He related to me once when I was a youngster how they HAD to pull into a deserted coral atoll to effect emergency repairs. They were on pins and needles the whole time. I can't imagine the stress level on the Bergall, being forced to transit on the surface, mostly in Enemy waters for 2000 miles, knowing full well that your life could be over at ANY time during the seemingly endless 10 day transit . The fact that they were not spotted the whole time can only be attributed to Divine intervention.

Hi History Guy, have you done a episode on the HMAS Sydney vs the raider Kormoran?
Love these videos 👍

Would have been an interesting meeting to have gotten the captains of the two ships together after the war to introduce them and give them a chance to reminisce about their crews and commands.🤔

The Japanese, like the Russians know how to design great looking warships.

I like this channel!

Wow… thank you for the education.

Very brave Captain and crew.

WOW

Great as always 👌

Good information shows what tale T's sailors need to keep their ships afloat

❤ a very nice talk. Great research. I love you guys, but after my meds even more.

Love your stories

Feeding the algorithm here

What an interesting tale of WW2. And your telling of these stories is with such conviction. Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Would love to hear some Marine Corps stories. Or maybe a telling of the history of my home town, Jacksonville, FL .

Thanks Fred for the episode on the Hustler. My favorite aircraft at the museum is the F4 Phantom. I was a plane captain for a USMC squadron during Vietnam.

THANK you

Love it. Both sides and their fight to survive. Too bad these ships gone today. It would be fun to see them. Thx. !

Someone has to make a movie or gameplay for that event and the transfer.

Nicely done sir - as usual - lets hope the youth of today do not try to change history!

Outstanding video and presentation

Thanks!
