How WW2 Battleships Sunk

[samehyounis]

I like how the title says battleships and then the first ship is a heavy cruiser lmao

[Chaos_Legend]

1 Bismarck was scuttled
2 Neveda wasnt sunk by a Japanese torpedo
3 scrapping a ship and sinking a ship are two different things

[ahalfsesameseedbun]

The Eugen wasn't sunk by the bomb. It survived both the airburt test and the underwater test, then it was towed to Kwajalein Atoll where it capsized and sank 5 months later.

Nevada purposely beached herself at Pearl harbor to keep from sinking, continued to fight as a shore battery, was repaired and returned to the fight and fought the Japanese in the pacific, then was used as a test ship for not one, but two nuclear bombs and still didn't think and was finally sunk by a bunch of torpedoes. Nevada was kind of an underrated badass

[stephan]

Funny thing Is Prinze Eugene actually survived both nuke tests but was so radioactive they wouldn't attempt to access the damage or try to repair instead they towed the ship into shallow waters where the leaks eventually got her to capsize and sink. Very impressive for a heavy cruiser

[dirtysniper]

Remember if a wehraboo talks about the Bismark. Remind them of the perun. A polish destroyer that it couldn't hit at point blank range and annoyed the ship constantly sending messages nonstop saying "I am a pole" while firing every gun it had at the superstructure of the Bismark straight resorting to small arms to shoot at crew trying run across the deck.

You're correct on Yamato, Prinz Eugene, USS Arizona, and Bismarck. But USS Nevada and Prinz Eugene were both part of an experiment by America. They took them to the Marshall Islands in bikini atoll. And dropped nukes on them to see the power of the nukes. Eventually both ships sank because radiation was so high that they couldn't keep them afloat afterwards. Prinz Eugene sank due to a leak in her hull. And Nevada was sunk by an air torpedo but not by Japan. The war was over. King George V I'm pretty sure either got sold for scrap or was sunk during the battle of the Coral sea. And by the way Prinz Eugene is a heavy cruiser that escorted Bismarck but continued the mission because Bismarck couldn't. She was too damaged and was eventually sunk.

fun story the Bismarck was so sturdy that there were many ships firing for hours to try and sink it, most ships left with gun barrels melted and glasses broken from firing so much

[gwydionrusso]

Bismarck wasn't sunk by the torpedo bomber she was sunk either by Battleship shells from Rodney and King George V or scuttling depending on which version of the story you believe

[Cheeseguythingidk]

Bro learned about this in a McDonald’s fryer💀

[NightOffical]

Fun fact:USS NEVADA SURVIVED PEARL HARBOR

[RedneckRapture]

Nevada was not sunk by an IJN bomber. It was sunk by two nuclear bombs, an Iowa class battleship and her escorts, and a US aerial torpedo after all that still failed to sink her.

Very relieved to see that the flags of respective nations are all HISTORICALLY accurate, and not some politically correct variation of certain symbols. Remember, history doesn't care about feelings, it is there to educate and learn from it so that we may never repeat the same mistakes.

[hmsjavelin]

So Prinz Eugene is now a battleship I guess if it happened on the hood then I could happen today however if a ship is sold for scrap it never sinks as sinking is going underwater 🤣🤣

[jedi_.]

"KMS Bismarck" IRONIC AS FUCK 💀💀

[hydrodrift]

When it said “Prinz Eugen” I thought of the tirpitz and looked and it said “sunk by US freedom bomb and I almost burst out laughing

[michaelasbury]

Prinz Eugen-cruiser
Nevada- sunk by OUR torpedoes after it withstood two nukes

[daniwong]

4 barrel cannon seriously got scraped tf
