You two have found probably one of the best YouTube channels. With a veteran that tells history through the lens of the average person. He's really that good.

[douglasg.]

I work at the shipyard that built, and repaired this ship. I remember it well. We had just delivered her less than a year before. It was like the moderator said, we took the engine room module from a ship in construction, modified it to replace the damaged section, and welded everything back together. Actually, after the repair job, they navy said it was “better than new” because its sea trial numbers were better the 2nd time around.

[johnblackhead]

I was active duty Navy from 1982-2002. A good friend of mine was on the Roberts that day. He said it was the most insane 24 hours he’d ever experienced. That crew was a miracle.

[scottbmedic]

I almost fell out of my chair when he made the comment about and have some ice cream because the U.S. Navy has long considered ice cream a huge moral booster and is almost always available on any naval vessel 😅

Quick note: The E=mc^2 was a reference to the fact that the Enterprise was the first nuclear powered carrier. E=mc^2 being Einstein's theory of matter and energy equivalence which is one of the fundamental concepts in nuclear energy.

7:34 no matter how many times I see this guys video the "Balogna Mist Cloud number 1" has me rolling every time

[deansouthwick]

By the way, The Fat Electrician is a national treasure. He and Morgan Freeman are our narrators! One speaks fluent military, and the other is as smooth as silk.

[gpmerrill]

I was in the Navy and there during that skirmish. This guy definitely knows how to tell a story.

[straighttalkwithkyle]

He is the absolute greatest. His story telling delivery is second to none. And yes, us Americans really don't like it when you mess with our boats. It's an excuse we use to get into just about every major war ever.

[The_Dudester]

Important and relevant: The Samuel B. Roberts is named for one of two destroyers that took on the world's largest battleship (IJN Yamato), along with two other Japanese battleships, half a dozen light cruisers and seven destroyers while protecting six small aircraft carriers during the "Battle off Samar", which was one of five phases of the much larger Battle of Leyte Gulf. USS Samuel B. Roberts and USS Johnston were sunk, but they successfully protected five of the six carriers.

[jeffreystanley]

I was born and live in Maine across from the shipyard on the Kennebec River that built and repaired the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts. American ships have been built here since the 1600's at the Popham Colony near this shipyard in the city of Bath. I have family members who have worked there over the years. These Arleigh Burke Guided Missle Destroyers are beasts. Navy sailors gave the ships built here the motto "Bath Built is Best Built" because they have proven to be able to survive lots of battles in WWII.
Lots of history here also like the building of the Wyoming which was the largest sailing ship in the world.

[debbiewashabaugh]

He’s a good storyteller. I really enjoy his channel. This story wasn’t entirely hushed up but we certainly didn’t hear all of it. I worked (in the defense industry) at that time and had two children to raise. It didn’t look like a situation that was going to lead to war so I didn’t worry about it. Hearing the details now tells me how close we came with no one the wiser.

[turbskiiaddicted]

The fat electrician is a chamnel i recommend to everyone! Absolutely the best history teller of all, keeps facts straight amd does his homework and adds back the human side historians take out!

[TBirum]

American here 51 years old.
Not only did the American people hear about this “Saturday Night Live” (Skit Comedy Show) did skits about it making jokes about how Iran has 3 fewer Oil Rigs. You can probably find it on YT.
Iran and the “States” had beef due to the Iran Hostage Situation about a decade earlier.
The American people were quite happy giving a “Proportional” response to them damaging one of our ships.

[johnkelly]

He’s an old medic…..and damn good historical storyteller👍

[TheBHoky]

I follow this guy he tells history with humor. He served in our military so he has an insight that most don't. I love your reactions keep up the good work.

[Hrry]

Nick is one of the greatest story tellers on YouTube. As former Bomb Squad member, I love his older EOD video.

[rsm]

I was in the US Air Force in the 80s and never heard about any of that. Another "not making the news" event was when a F-18 off the USS Nimitz shot down 2 Libyan fighter jets after they fired on a RC-135 flying recon over international waters but Libya said the RC was inside the Libyan line. I saw the bullet holes in the aircraft tail when it arrived back home at Offutt AFB. There was no response from Libya about losing the 2 fighter jets.

[TarahMatson-zzhj]

I’m so happy that you found The Fat Electrician. He has one of the best military history channels on YouTube! He’s so good because he’s a veteran, which gives him an excellent vantage point. I love both of your channels. Hugs to you and your beautiful family from Minnesota, USA.❤️

One correction to what was said....the A6 Intruder Pilot and Navigator/Bombardier sit side-by-side instead of front and rear. A good movie with the A6 intruder is called "Flight of the Intruder"
