What was one interesting fact you learned from watching this video?

[dapperfield]

4:16 When you’re so good, the enemy decides to add you to their friends list.

[idanshoval]

2, 000 deaths for a single sunken ship, gives you perspective on how disastereus this war was.

[roughroadrunner]

Amazing but really sad to see many people dying during war.

[AzlianaLyana]

Yep, gotta fill up that "Who shot you" section of the form... 😁

Interesting how a strategically deployed battle ready submarine gets an edge and takes down the opposition with ease.

Never knew one submarine could do so much damage in such a short time.

Ramage was awarded the MOH for that patrol. The boat I served on during the Vietnam era, was the BANG, ss385, commanded then by Anton Gallagher. Parche, ss384, was commanded by Ramage. Both were classmates at the Academy. They were on each other's 1st war patrol in early 1944. Gallagher's Bang sank four ships and was awarded the Navy Cross. Ramage good heartedly said, "I can do better, " I guess he did. Gallagher was awarded four Navy Crosses during the war.

Think about what would have happened if those 2400 troopers made it to wherever they are going. Considering that each one of those soldiers would probably fight to their death...

[luckyr]

What's your name? Who are you?
Why do you do this to me? 😑

[maximkretsch]

It was apparently much easier to score against the Japaneses in the Pacific than against the British in the Atlantic.

Sam Dealey perfected the down the throat shot and became known as the destroyer killer

I love to watch NATGEO KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS.

14 hits out of 19 torpedoes fired, which was very impressive for a WW2 submarine.

[trieshohib]

[ryanmarquez]

Surprised the torpedoes actually worked

[KaezarVult]

14 hits?!? That’s very good even for a world of warships game
