BATTLESHIP SIZE COMPARISON

In this YouTube video, we will be exploring the size comparison of various World War 2 battleships. From the colossal Japanese Yamato, known for its sheer size and power, to the sleek and agile American Iowa class battleships, we will compare the overall tonnage (measured in metric tons) of these historical vessels that played crucial roles in naval warfare during World War 2. Prepare to be amazed by the immense scale of these battleships and gain a greater understanding of the naval might that shaped the outcome of the war.

My uncle was Captain of the USS Arkansas at the battle of Iwo Jima and was awarded the Legion of Merit for the battle. He was Admiral George McFadden O'Rear.

Interesting video, but there are some mixed up numbers there. Some ships are listed with standard displacement and others with full load displacement. Easily noticeable with the two Japanese super battleships.

InfoRanker, where did you get the models for all these ships? Nice vid

When the USS Wisconsin collided with the USS Eaton, there was a chunk missing from her bow so what they did is they took the bow from the unfinished Kentucky and put it on the USS Wisconsin. Hence making the USS Wisconsin 11 in longer than her sisters and making her the longest battleship in history

For Musashi you give the standard displacement. For Yamato you give the maximum load out. Doesn't make sense. Bismarck's maximum displacement was not 50300 tons, but 50950 tons. And does the Gneisenau really have 38 cm twin turrets installed, despite this never came to be?

Whenever I watch the scenes Yamato fire its main canons toward US airplanes on the way to its Okina Rescue Operation, I cry😢 Those biggest main canons were not designed for airplanes. They were for the opponent‘s big battle ships which are supposed to dominate Pacific Oceans 😢😢

The French and Italians really had some underrated battleships

Amazing video as always InfoRanker. Keep it up legend

The interesting thing about WW2-era German battleships is that they weren't actually meant for naval combat. Because Hitler knew his navy wouldn't be able to contend with the British Royal Navy, he decided to have them repurposed for hunting down and destroying Allied merchant shipping. By doing this, Hitler hoped to cripple Great Britain by cutting off supplies and resources the nation needed to survive. While ships like Bismarck and Gneisenau could fight against enemy warships in a pinch, their lighter caliber guns weren't that effective for taking out enemy battleships. Therefore, the ships relied on their greater speed to escape from superior enemy forces.

I toured the North Carolina battleship in Wilmington NC many years ago. That is truly an amazing ship with a wealth of history.

We have the Iowa right down here in Long Beach. Beautiful ship. Just awesome. I got to board the Missouri here as well before it was retired to Pearl Harbor.

Can't wait to see the renovations completed on the USS Texas in Galveston!

しかし、ペリーの黒船にビビっていた
時代から、よく、たった80年で
世界最大級の戦艦を作ったな。

Can't wait for the new American battleships to come out, like the Infographic Show said there would be.

Nagato and Mutsu is 46, 690 Tons Fully Loaded...

[tkyap]

Big doesn't mean great. It will mean a prized target requiring more support protection, especially air cover.

Glad to see the Wyomings weren't left out.

Those old girls need more attention.

2:34 I love the Nelson class especially HMS Rodney (The ship that sank the Bismarck!).
Such a brutal looking ship..

[The-Real-aPOC]

Is the Wave Motion gun functional on the Yamato?

[martinschnelle]

Gneisenau had the same armament like Scharnhorst, two triple-turrets at the front. The video also seems to depict that Scharnhorst was taller. But both were sister ships.

Musashi and Yamato were also sister ships with about the same tonnage, other than depicted here.
