@KEESTANG I'm neither American nor British but being interested in the history of the navy in general, I wonder how can You say that You beat them in the war of 1812? Certainly You mean the begining of the war and skirmishes won by US Navy, but that is far away from beating Royal Navy ;)
@malanga86 Strategically, it was a victory for the Royal Navy, won through sheer weight of numbers, not by any tactical excellence or intrinsic superiority of the Royal Navy.
@exarmydoc But I just stated who won, not why :) Sad true is that often navy that has no more than 30 ships loses to navy that has few hundreds :) There is no shame in that. Victories like over HMS Java, Gerrieur and Macedonian were fabolous, but didn't change the final score :)
Have you ever heard of the frigate USS CONSTITUTION? The Battle of New Orleans?
Lord Wellington refusing a commission to fight in America which he considered an impractical war? Are you part of the British Empire still? Why are you wondering?
Some Americans like you need to learn more about History and not pay attention to some brits who think they would had won without the help of the "bloody yanks" in both World Wars. They should worry about their own Muzzies, I say.
@KEESTANG The War of 1812 wasn't a victory for anyone. At the end of the war, it was status quo anti bellum - "how it was before the war."
Through the years, Britain and America have both claimed victory in the war.
The truth is that nobody won. The White House was burned to the ground by British troops, but the war was totally sidelined by the fact that the superpowers in Europe were at war.
The US failed to annex Canada, the British never totally vanquished the Americans.
@BasilFawlty4444 But the U.S. Navy had the better of it at sea, while the British prevailed on land - exactly the inverse of what people were expecting.
@BasilFawlty4444 The British did not /want/ to vanquish the Americans. They were at war with pretty much all of Europe, they wanted to get peace with America as soon as possible. It could not afford another war.
Seeing as how America was the aggressor, and it failed to complete any of its main objectives, and instead settled for white peace, by the very definition of the thing the British won.
@KEESTANG The Royal Navy has never been defeated in campaign terms. In 1812 most of the Royal Navy was involved in dealing with the little matter of Napoleon - blockading the French navy and protecting British trade against (usually French) privateers.
I wish i lived in the days of the British empire. Things were so much more simpler then. Just King and country to serve, loyalty & honor rife in our countrymen, and a Empire to build.
Nowadays our own beautiful green Island nation has been turned into a cash-cow dumping ground for the third world to feed off.
@roflatopus My teeth are white, straight and I'm English. The last American I met had poor teeth and the one before that had a bacterial thing going on inside his mouth which meant his breath stank of something other wordly. All those people you see on US TV have fake teeth or heavily conditioned teeth that have had every strip of enamel whittled down to a wafer thin layer. They're gonna be in alot of discomfort when they get older.
@Talbot6832 I've watched the occasional program of Jerry Springer or Maure et al - all sorts of weird teeth on those! Mine are nice, white and straight - courtesy of the NHS for my first thirty years!!!!
Excuse me! I'm a US citizen now. I take issue with your remarks. I've been married to an American lady who works as a dental assistant. She knows the low degree of dentistry in Europe, including the British Isles, by the people she has met during her 30 years in dentistry.
Take your insults and your BULLSHIT and stick'em in your arse.
There's no better dental care in the world that the US dentistry. PERIOD!
And don't meet lowlifes or you'll end up smelling like shit.
@ElCid48 Funny how dentistry is the only medical industry in the UK that hasn't been "socialised" and it's also the one that most people disapprove of...
@NMSCENS2 How dare you insult this great piece of music, and hes not a " bender" as you judge him, you probably are just jealous as his voice is deeper than your own.
well my grand dad single handedly sunk 4 ships of the line, kicked bonaparte in the cock, and was awarded 3 VC's for repelling the alien invasion of 1827 :P
My Grandfather was also awarded the DSM for bringing a ship in while wounded . I live down the road from Grimsby in Scunthorpe also he to died from his wounds later after the war had finished
mmmh...low blow mate, but beeing a born american turned pirate I gotta say...they had it coming...and you, tough luck, and all that...but all the same...i'm just a bloody scoundrel.
Come 2025, with the completion of the Two new carriers, the the completion of the rest of the Daring class destroyers, and the near completion of the Type 26 frigates... The Royal Navy unfortunately wont be the biggest fleet, but will be the most technological advanced war fleet in the world to date... protecting the shores of Britain and her Commonwealth, the Navy still stands strong. Copy and Paste this on to other Royal Navy videos across the internet !
@sectionzeropro Yeah but you're forgetting how the current Gov has already started slashing the defence budget (contradiction in terms come on down!) though tbh we don't need a massive navy anymore, we hardly have a commonwealth or empire to protect!
@Carnasaurous hopefully labour will get their act together and will be voted back in, im getting slightly irritated by the current fascist..... *cough i mean Conservative goverment's spending cuts to things we need.... the two new carriers wont have RAF jets on them, instead US F-22's and F-18's will be stuck on there... shame really
a hornet which is a USA aircraft ,and we are getting usa planes to go on them , damn upsets me it dose we use to have a navy air arm then they got rid of are big air craft carriers damn goventments , we still have a commonwealth we dont have the empire any more @ SplinterCelll38 1
@GGMacarthur. They are not going to be on their permanently. The carriers are being built allowing other navies planes to use them as well, not for us, but for them. When when the f-35 arrives that will be the core of the fleet air arm.

@thyuiooo Er yes....... I know he had one arm. Did you know he also lost his right eye at the the siege of Calvi in 1794?.........I was refering to people in positions of power displaying masonic symbolism.
Much respect for the Royal Navy ! Lord Nelson was undoubtedly the best . He gave us the French , the lesson (him amongst others ) we (often) deserved .
My Dad, a Cornishman from Truro, was decorated with the DSM by King George v! for saving 3 shipmates, including the captain, my Dad being the last man to leave the ship, and single-handedly shooting down 3 Dorniers off the coast of Grimsby in 1942. Men like him are largely forgotten. He died in Tanganyika aged 48, due to war injuries, assisted by malaria, 11 years after leaving the RN. I was five, & we were in the bush in Tanganyika. I never felt our loss was understood. But God Bless the RN!
@speakswahilidammit Good shooting to your Father and thank God he was there to save the 3 shipmates. We're not on this Earth long, and he clearly made an impact beyond many of us. While death is never glorious but personal and humbling in my experience, life is glorious. And your Father lived well... he had you didn't he? All the best from the US... and don't call me Yank please, I'm from Virginia.
@speakswahilidammit what was his name? I've read a story somewhere of an injured sailor saving the lives of some of his oppo's and shooting down some enemy aircraft and its stuck in my mind ever since and several years down the line, coz of that story, I'm starting my application for the royal navy
@relegated66 Please. Picard's supposed backstory got chucked out the window every time Patrick Stewart wanted a chance to show off and be Patrick Stewart. Seeing as how he's Patrick Freaking Stewart, it's not a surprise nobody complained. (Honestly, I've always considered Picard to be an Englishman whose family happens to own land in France. If you go back a thousand years, that was hardly unusual.)
And yes, I love Patrick Stewart. Apparently, so does Star Trek.
@williamskidfears Actually he sings it every time there's inebriation involved. He also sang it with his brother while taking a leave of absence after the Borg incident.
i love this song, my corps would sing it durring christmas (as much as we knew i think this song has 100 or so verses XD) and play it just before colours. i miss it when my corps had the best drum and bugel band in the country T.T
Palm down is customary in the British Navy, as it was considered rude for common sailors to present their filthy, tar-smeared hand to one of the officers (who all wore gloves) and so the salute developed palm-down. The Navy have many unusual customs; for example, they do not have to stand for the Loyal Toast (to the monarch) as ships' dining area were often inconvenient for this.
I noticed in the images that the salute being given was in the American-style, and not in the palm version that is done in the British Army. (I say American style not to imply that they took it from America)
Love this stirring beautifully produced video...but the needless & unnecessary inclusion of that spoilt pea-brained undiplomatic tosser at 2:03 rankles somewhat.
@MrCFCarePOO I'm no Brit and certainly not a Limey or royalty lover...but the Prince flew anti-surface missile duty while Exocets were in the air during the Falklands Islands war....as a decoy for said missiles. That takes some brass ones.
I hate when people sneer at British courage. Read about the blocking of the port at Zeebrugge or how a German captain was so impressed by the audacious actions of the RN skipper of the HMS Glowworm he recommended him for a posthumous VC through the Red Cross.
@seanboud I absolutely love stirring tales of actual British derring-do ,seanboud.See Sailors in Battle by Kenneth Taylor for example.Yet I still maintain that although many-golf-course-travelled trencherman Prince Andrew may have the heart of an oak,he has the brain of a pea :See The Guardian on November 29th 2010 and his comments in Kyrgystan.The Wikileaks cables: rude-prince-andrew.Googled HMS Glowworm - awesome!
@seanboud Who sneers at British courage? In my mind it's not in question. We are a tiny island that became the worlds most powerful nation and conquered the largest empire ever. It's no coincidence that the first man to cross the arctic, antarctic and the first man up everest were all british. It's not a surprise that we colonised the Americas or discovered Australia. Few countries can even claim to have achieved anything like this.
@Skipissatan In some histories I have seen it and also heard it in discussion about military actions. It is of little consequence, I suppose, as it is easily disproved but it still rankles when someone runs roughshod over the reputation of our most solid ally within hearing distance of me.
@LibertyWaxlips Did I say that? Or did I say "few countries have achieved anything like this". In terms of countries that have influenced the modern world this is an entirely reasonable and accurate statement. From newtons laws and evolution to the industrial revolution, computer, web, jet engine and the discovery of DNA we have an impressive legacy and the overwhelming majority of the 200 odd nations on this planet don't have. Did I say Britons are intrinsically superior? No. Your words.
@Skipissatan The computer and the web were invented and created by Americans. Half of the pair that discovered the shape of DNA was American, and the jet engine was developed simultaneously in many nations. Get your facts straight.
@TacticusPrime Web was invented by Tim berners lee. Uncontested fact. Computer was invented by either Alan Turing or Charles Babbage depending on where you draw the line. Certainly Turing invented the "modern" computer and both were English. Watson was American but Crick, Franklin and Wilkins were all Brits - they were truly the 4 that made the discovery and Wilkins shared the nobel prize. Franklin obviously was dead by that time.
@Skipissatan Bullshit. The ENIAC was first real computer and it was invented and created by Americans. Turing was only a theorist. The Internet's fundamental technology was invented by Lawrence Roberts and ARPANET decades before Berners-Lee and HTML. Whittle had the idea, but French and German scientists developed the technology independent of his work.
@TacticusPrime you are confusing the web....with the internet. There is a difference. I didn't say the internet was an English invention. As for ENIAC being the first computer- it wasn't even the first American computer. The Zuse, Colossus and several other machines predate it. You can't argue that at all. In any case I think Babbage invented the first computer.
@TacticusPrime I'm also aware that the Germans formulated the idea independently- and developed a prototype engine after Whittle developed his. This isn't disputed. As such the statement "Whittle invented the first jet engine" is accurate.
And come on Babbage made a fully programmable analytical engine that could solve equations- it's a computer and you know it!
@TacticusPrime Furthermore, RAF cadet Frank Whittle submitted his ideas for the "turbo jet" the modern jet engine in 1928, and further refined them later. This was 7 years before the equivalent German research.
We Brits are technically subjects to a rather dumb, despite it's massively privilaged education etc. To the sheep who are happy to be subserviant to this heriditary German family...where does your self respect begin? I absolutely love my Country, this wonderful music & history but jesus, it's embarrassing that we seem to want to remain in the 18th Century.
I was referring to the great lake wars..( old iron sides).I know the war was a stalemate except for the battle of New Orleans...

Much respect for the Royal Navy ! Lord Nelson was undoubtedly the best . He gave us the French , the lesson (him amongst others ) we (often) deserved .

My Dad, a Cornishman from Truro, was decorated with the DSM by King George v! for saving 3 shipmates, including the captain, my Dad being the last man to leave the ship, and single-handedly shooting down 3 Dorniers off the coast of Grimsby in 1942. Men like him are largely forgotten. He died in Tanganyika aged 48, due to war injuries, assisted by malaria, 11 years after leaving the RN. I was five, & we were in the bush in Tanganyika. I never felt our loss was understood. But God Bless the RN!

@speakswahilidammit Good shooting to your Father and thank God he was there to save the 3 shipmates. We're not on this Earth long, and he clearly made an impact beyond many of us. While death is never glorious but personal and humbling in my experience, life is glorious. And your Father lived well... he had you didn't he? All the best from the US... and don't call me Yank please, I'm from Virginia.

Strange that a "frenchman" like Picard would sing the Royal Navy`s song,as it was the French that got thrashed so soundly on several occasions.
relegated66 9 months ago
@relegated66 Please. Picard's supposed backstory got chucked out the window every time Patrick Stewart wanted a chance to show off and be Patrick Stewart. Seeing as how he's Patrick Freaking Stewart, it's not a surprise nobody complained. (Honestly, I've always considered Picard to be an Englishman whose family happens to own land in France. If you go back a thousand years, that was hardly unusual.)
And yes, I love Patrick Stewart. Apparently, so does Star Trek.

Palm down is customary in the British Navy, as it was considered rude for common sailors to present their filthy, tar-smeared hand to one of the officers (who all wore gloves) and so the salute developed palm-down. The Navy have many unusual customs; for example, they do not have to stand for the Loyal Toast (to the monarch) as ships' dining area were often inconvenient for this.
Bigqwertyuo1 10 months ago
I noticed in the images that the salute being given was in the American-style, and not in the palm version that is done in the British Army. (I say American style not to imply that they took it from America)
Any reason for this?

@MrCFCarePOO I'm no Brit and certainly not a Limey or royalty lover...but the Prince flew anti-surface missile duty while Exocets were in the air during the Falklands Islands war....as a decoy for said missiles. That takes some brass ones.
I hate when people sneer at British courage. Read about the blocking of the port at Zeebrugge or how a German captain was so impressed by the audacious actions of the RN skipper of the HMS Glowworm he recommended him for a posthumous VC through the Red Cross.

@seanboud I absolutely love stirring tales of actual British derring-do ,seanboud.See Sailors in Battle by Kenneth Taylor for example.Yet I still maintain that although many-golf-course-travelled trencherman Prince Andrew may have the heart of an oak,he has the brain of a pea :See The Guardian on November 29th 2010 and his comments in Kyrgystan.The Wikileaks cables: rude-prince-andrew.Googled HMS Glowworm - awesome!

@seanboud Who sneers at British courage? In my mind it's not in question. We are a tiny island that became the worlds most powerful nation and conquered the largest empire ever. It's no coincidence that the first man to cross the arctic, antarctic and the first man up everest were all british. It's not a surprise that we colonised the Americas or discovered Australia. Few countries can even claim to have achieved anything like this.
Skipissatan 11 months ago 5
@Skipissatan In some histories I have seen it and also heard it in discussion about military actions. It is of little consequence, I suppose, as it is easily disproved but it still rankles when someone runs roughshod over the reputation of our most solid ally within hearing distance of me.

LibertyWaxlips 10 months ago
@LibertyWaxlips Did I say that? Or did I say "few countries have achieved anything like this". In terms of countries that have influenced the modern world this is an entirely reasonable and accurate statement. From newtons laws and evolution to the industrial revolution, computer, web, jet engine and the discovery of DNA we have an impressive legacy and the overwhelming majority of the 200 odd nations on this planet don't have. Did I say Britons are intrinsically superior? No. Your words.

Clenners1992 10 months ago 3
@Skipissatan The computer and the web were invented and created by Americans. Half of the pair that discovered the shape of DNA was American, and the jet engine was developed simultaneously in many nations. Get your facts straight.
TacticusPrime 10 months ago
@TacticusPrime Web was invented by Tim berners lee. Uncontested fact. Computer was invented by either Alan Turing or Charles Babbage depending on where you draw the line. Certainly Turing invented the "modern" computer and both were English. Watson was American but Crick, Franklin and Wilkins were all Brits - they were truly the 4 that made the discovery and Wilkins shared the nobel prize. Franklin obviously was dead by that time.
Skipissatan 10 months ago
@Skipissatan Bullshit. The ENIAC was first real computer and it was invented and created by Americans. Turing was only a theorist. The Internet's fundamental technology was invented by Lawrence Roberts and ARPANET decades before Berners-Lee and HTML. Whittle had the idea, but French and German scientists developed the technology independent of his work.
TacticusPrime 10 months ago
@TacticusPrime you are confusing the web....with the internet. There is a difference. I didn't say the internet was an English invention. As for ENIAC being the first computer- it wasn't even the first American computer. The Zuse, Colossus and several other machines predate it. You can't argue that at all. In any case I think Babbage invented the first computer.
Skipissatan 10 months ago
@TacticusPrime I'm also aware that the Germans formulated the idea independently- and developed a prototype engine after Whittle developed his. This isn't disputed. As such the statement "Whittle invented the first jet engine" is accurate.
And come on Babbage made a fully programmable analytical engine that could solve equations- it's a computer and you know it!
Skipissatan 10 months ago
@TacticusPrime Furthermore, RAF cadet Frank Whittle submitted his ideas for the "turbo jet" the modern jet engine in 1928, and further refined them later. This was 7 years before the equivalent German research.
In conclusion, get your facts straight.
