I never understood why you would put all your eggs into the same basket… Why not make 3 ships with 1 battery instead? 3 faster ships could easily outperform a battleship in a scenario like HMS Hood vs Bismarck
I still say Battleships have a place, in a carrier battle group, they provided additional AA protection and also their large guns can defend the carrier from surface attacks since a carrier is vulnerable without it's airwing
As a Vietnam veteran who sat one night under the wonderful protection of the mighty NEW JERSEY, I heard the sound of the shells above us. "Think of a Volkswagen going over." my friend said. I will always love and remember how good it felt to know she was there. God Bless THE USS NEW JERSEY.
Hearkens back to a better time. Life was more "simple" People were "better" If I had a chance to time travel to the past or the future, I'd take the past. At least you knew it would be there…
Communists were storming across the border and butchering people and leaving the orphaned children to die. We tried to intervene. I am not implying that this war was not economic. I am saying that this nation had some moral balls back then too. Read up on how many children we rescued from death in that awful war. Now we murder and abort children. America once held great respect even amongst her enemies. We would often feed and care for even the children and widows of our enemies. This was no utopia back then, but at least we cared.
The majority of the Pacific Island bombarding was done by the older battleships and cruisers for the newer battleships were used to screen the aircraft carriers. My dad who is 92 years old was on the USS Louisville CA 28 and here is a list of some of her bombardments along with the older battleships: USS LOUISVILLE CA- 28 Heavy Cruiser 1944-45 1 – Extensive shelling Island of Wotje in Marshalls. 2 – Bombardment Roi & Namur Islands. 3 – Led gunfire support Eniwetok Island. 4 – Bombarded Palaus Island. 5 – Bombarded Truk & Sawatan. 6 – 11 days of continued fire support Siapan. 7 – Bombarded Tinian & Guam. 8 – Enter Leyte Gulf – support major allied invasion force & shelled shore installations for 7 straight days. 9 – Battle of Surigao Strait – Flagship for Rear Admiral Jesse Oldendorf. 10 – Support landings at Lingayen Gulf. Hit by (2) kamikaze & killed Rear Admiral Theodore Chandler & many sailors. 11 – Fire support for Okinawa. Hit by another Kamikaze. 12 – Delivered Bull Halsey’s officers & staff – (150) to USS Missouri. 13 – Continued fire support duties. 14 – War ends. 15 – Escorted surrendered Japanese ships from Tsingato, China to Jinsen, Korea.
How awesome to hear them pray at the day's end, putting their faith and trust in God's hand..This is a great documentary film and is truly what America is always about.. Great nation under God. But in today's society it seems like the opposite, no one prays or ever care about serving God anymore.. I just hope that there's still time left to change things around and go back to what they were like in this film.. America will be America again..
It is a monster
Interesting but I don't understand why this is titled WWII when it's the Korean War.
Nasty like x wife

Uplifting and empowering prayers that sailors heard in the ships;may the ALMIGHTY BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA for ever !!!

Fuck it’s my sister
This is how we dealt with commies in WWII….in 2020 they run for president.
I still say Battleships have a place, in a carrier battle group, they provided additional AA protection and also their large guns can defend the carrier from surface attacks since a carrier is vulnerable without it's airwing
This is not World War II, it's the Korean War.
So many bald eagles in one place
How satisfying it to see that the big guns fire on full broadside

"This is all well n good, highly equipped ship n all, but I've been here two weeks already and I still haven't found the bar!"
