My grandfather served in the US Navy in WWII and was in Japan for their surrender. I am very proud if him and he is still alive today at age 95. I also served 6 years of easy duty from 1982-1988. Not enough can be said of that generations contributions to the freedoms that most take for granted today. Bless You All!
the world is lucky we had the royal navy and all of the british armed services in those very critical war years, the world would be a very different place without them. the royal navy and the british army stood along for nearly two years
Excellent series as a tribute to the heroes of the Royal Navy.
Do any "British" politicians, that corrupt gang of marxist traitors, liars and thieves, watch these vdo's? Those self-serving weasels and cowards are not fit to polish the boots of any of these patriots .
in terms of naval power with numbers of battleships, carriers, air, anti air armament and gunnery armament. the royal navy comes in third place in comparison to the U.S and Japan.
Even at a remove of 65 years, it still gives me cold chills when I think of the heroism and sacrifice of those men during those six dreadful years! God bless the Royal Navy!
in 22 November 1944 the British Pacific Fleet was assembled and consisted of;
The fleet included 17 aircraft carriers, four battleships, 10 cruisers, 40 destroyers, 18 sloops, 13 frigates, 35 minesweepers, other kinds of fighting ships, and many support vessels.
@TowerHamletsNeil And now look at it, 1 carrier that has no fighters and cuts being made to it that seem to change daily- lets rebuild the RN and have something to be proud of

A Documentary i remember very well, i give it 9/12 overall.
(there are several mistakes made by the narrator, quoting we had 15 Battleships & Battlecruisers in 1939 when it was attually 16 for example).
All together though a very reasonable & infomative Tribute to the Royal Navy in WWII.

@bv141a No capital ships? I think nuclear submarines count as the modern day equivalent of capital ships.

The bit about the wooded flight decks was a bit off. The larger US carriers at that time had steel flight decks, though the Jeep carriers did not.

@jasonkolo No, it was spot on . All US carriers at that time had wooden decks.
