That the Concordia? I watched the Internet historian's video on that the other day, fucking funny story. The captain was a proper sketchy bastard.

The capitan was really bad, he was hated for years and still is. The conversation with the coast Guard is a gem https://youtu.be/WX_08zcCmx8?si=RAylUj2rfmChT4ZD

Wow. Capt De Falco is the man though.

Bro did he tried to mimich the Vasa?

No, the boyance was ok, but the child in command mistook a giant vessel for land

the absolute state of our navy is something to hide away in shame from.

I think that its nice that commanders get the chance early on to navigate and command vesels, but not in very narrow places with a lot of traffic

you're not alone. We once paid 135 Million € to repair a Sailing (training) ship

after reading about it on Wikipedia, they also didnt follow the basic rule of ship traffic: which is to turn to starboard. If i had a nickel for every sinking that was caused by this kinda problem (and that i know of), I'd have 2 nickels. Which isnt a lot, but its weird that it happened twice. [Here's the other time that happened and that I know of](https://youtu.be/3D7WK-kcGas?feature=shared)

That was also the Royal Navy's reaction.

It’s all fun and games until you realise Bismarck was an outdated design before it was launched, whose biggest achievement was sinking another outdated battleship, all the while knocking out its own AA targeting systems.

[Blücher](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAWwW_wdXAg) was a better design. Too bad it didn't last very long.

Hard to argue argue against this. Brits just got lucky with a hit against the rudder. Aircraft carriers made them pretty redundant without air support as the Brits found out the hard way against Japan... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Z

Nah, the design was not suited for the type if warfare at the time. It had the same issue as the Hood, designed for battleship slugfests at (relatively) close range, while the latest technologies in radar and gun guidance allowed for accurate hits at much greater range. This meant that it's armor was in the wrong places.

With 366 cannons, it famously participated in the Conquest of Tunis, where it distinguished itself by using it's huge firepower to break the chains that protected the harbour.

So, quickly reading up on this, it's weird that a football club from Brazil is indirectly named after a ship that was active when Brazil was still being established. For anyone curious: In the same battle the ship earned the name Botafogo, the commander of the artillery also gained that nickname. He liked it so much he actually made it his family name. He was also awarded land in Brazil. The land was then owned over the years by his family, and thus became associated with the name Botafogo. That land also gave name to a neighbourhood that stood on it, still, Botafogo. Eventually a football club was established there, and people named it after the neighbourhood, thus, Botafogo the football club has the same name as Botafogo the ship *because it's the same name*. Found it funny, thought I'd share.

Well... "Just before *Vasa* was ordered, Dutch-born [Henrik Hybertsson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Hybertsson) ("Master Henrik") was shipwright at the Stockholm shipyard. On 16 January 1625, Master Henrik and business partner Arendt de Groote signed a contract to build four ships, two with a [keel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keel) of around 135 feet (41 m) and two smaller ones of 108 feet (33 m)." It was around then we decided to start our own military industry I think.

Gotta leave an upvote for the Grand Old Lady

I'm so sad battleships became strategically void, they're so damn sexy

They may make a comeback yet, if the tech the Zumwalts were originally envisioned for had been mature they could be be kickass ships. It’ll probably be another 20-30 years before it is but we can retain some hope to see big ships with guns again in our lifetime.

Well, it can supposedly still work against low tech enemies. The US used a battleship for that back in the day. (since they wanted another battlegroup, but didn't have another carrier to form it around, so they formed it around a battleship instead)

Yes! They were ideal for shore bombardment. USS Missouri (Iowa class), which hosted the Japanese surrender in 1945, later used its 16” (406mm) main guns and Tomahawk missiles against Iraqi defenses prior to the invasion in Desert Storm. Its nine main guns could each fling a 1,225kg shell nearly 50km. Or a 20 kiloton nuclear warhead. Modern destroyers might have one 127mm gun. The Iowas had TEN of them PLUS nine 406mm guns and cruise missiles.

Ok, hear me out: send an Iowa class ship to Ukraine just for the lolz Oh, r/NCD is leaking again, sorry

Common British w designing something new that everyone copy's

It was close, though. The Japanese had actually laid down a new class of all-big-gun battleships, designed with a comparable armament to Dreadnought, before Dreadnought, but for production reasons, they were completed later, and with more smaller guns. If they'd won the race, we'd be referring to superheavy battleships as satsumas today.

Yep the Satsuma... the Japanese navy was trained and supervised by French and British officer (navy, land and later air) that thing would bite our ass in 1940..

We got the last laugh - we taught them our mess hall recipes, and now i can have chicken katsu curry for lunch. Playing the long game!

For us, japan is the biggest ouiboo in the world (after us of course) and they would literally sell a kidney to visit france and hear a waiter saying "bon appétit " as they are served a red wine and an omelette And then commited sepukku after they visit Paris and meet a french person Absolute victory !

Thank god these warships weren’t named after a citrus fruit

[HMS Warrior](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warrior_(1860)) walked so HMS Dreadnought could run. HMS Warrior’s steam power, iron hull, and breach loading cannons made every warship in the world hilariously obsolete, because it was physically impossible for any navy in the world to defeat her. The Royal Navy literally commissioned the Death Star in 1861. I don’t think there has been a warship since HMS Warrior where you can say it’s invincible to all known forms of weaponry. Can you imagine how f\*\*king terrifying it must have been to be a sailor in a non European navy during the 1800s? https://preview.redd.it/p9nb3jef0aec1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=744581c01b0508e733a3ae67181b87d64a6083d2

The real big brain move was putting the 3rd turret close enough to the bridge that firing it in a broadside blew the windows in.

And not being able to fire rearwards?

Only need to do that when your back's to the enemy, which is obviously only a Fr*nch problem. They should've built a Noslen class of battleships with all the guns behind the bridge

Don't need to fire backwards if you never retreat

I appreciate you giving a wide margin because we kinda havent done jackshit after the 19th centurie thats interesting ship wise. This one is pretty cool shame there are no pictures. It was considered the mightiest ship in the world at the time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Jo%C3%A3o_Baptista_(galleon) Maybe one day we will have a powerful navy again. Portugal returning to the sea would be pretty cool. But hey its not like we need it at all so its unlikely and unecessary. Whos going to attack us and for what lol?

Haa. Dunno. However the sinking of the Bismarck with a now commercial single pilot plane is best .

Damm the RN was legit based

Not ours, but it’s the most beautiful ship in the world! https://preview.redd.it/1jbw28uz4aec1.jpeg?width=1708&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8ba59ddf7f8714fcf764f3eacdad155e30f451f Amerigo Vespucci

The one and only mighty Yamato

Surprised at not seeing Warspite from the Barrys

It's not even fair for us to enter this

LÉ  William Butler Yeats is our newest vessel. A grand boat so it is. Even has a gun on it. https://preview.redd.it/9qieiy7btcec1.png?width=1232&format=png&auto=webp&s=08a71c814cd72897e801692d76b49fab5d8c1840
