USS Fletcher vs. IJN Yamato

[MrRochiam]

This mod needs a original bf1942?Please answer me!Thanks!

[neunzehn99]

oh god D: sry I ment the wrong ship :/

[neunzehn99]

xD that's not a yamato :DDDDDDDD

[zameliz]

why didnt the yamato shoot back, huh? if it would then that fletcher of urs would have sunk with 1 salvo of shells :'D

[98RamMagnum]

@zameliz I was too close for it to traverse it's aim onto me.

[98RamMagnum]

@98RamMagnum By the time someone was in it at least.

[gmen999]

why did it take you so many shots to sink that first destroyer?????

[98RamMagnum]

@zXTheFallenXz It's actually Battlefield Vietnam, but with a mod, Battlegroup 42

[usselliot76]

Actually there is one more Fletcher in existance the USS JOHN RODGERS now down in Mexico hopefully she will come home this year

[usselliot76]

Actually the oldest survivor and the highest decorated still survives in MEXICO the USS JOHN RODGERS DD574 but her existance is on the bubble hopefully she will return to the US later this year to become a museum ship

[dudipl]

great music !!

[MajSingletary]

actually i meant torp the battleship but ya

[MajSingletary]

actually a destroyer might be able to, depending when it getts caught, the 5 inch guns could destroy the bridge torp launchers if any, some smaller guns and stuff and the torps could sink it

[frankydman]

Uh, most battleships didn't have torpedos in WWII

[Steelhorsetransferco]

love the song

[frankydman]

Its a shame, but out of the 175 Fletcher class Destroyers, only 4 survive to this day:

USS The Sullivans (DD-537)

HNS Velos, D-16 (Former USS Charrlotte, DD-581)

USS Kidd (DD-661)

USS Cassin Young (DD-793)

Another 19, like the USS Johnston (DD-557) and the USS Hoel (DD-533) also survive, but as shipwrecks, so whether you want to count them as "Surviving examples" is debateable.

I only said that for those of you who want to know if there are any Fletchers still out there

[98RamMagnum]

Actually, i only knew about The Sullivans surviving, thanks for that, more things to try to get a chance to visit.

[TopGearYamato]

I like FLETCHER more THAN YAMATO

because It's my sir name!!!!!!

[dybro2]

Gee i wonder how old you are..

[frankydman]

In reality, a single DD could never sink a Yamato class BB, because its 5-inch guns wouldnt so much as dent Yamato

[98RamMagnum]

That's true, but that would actually depend on how close the DD could get before being noticed, if it got close enough to land a few torpedoes into her then maybe, but it's only plausible, and not likely.

[Taospark]

It almost happened like biukucanoe said. Yamato almost got sunk by a submarine days before and had to turn hard to avoid a torpedo screen from the Fletchers during the engagement.

[golfisgreat123]

wrong destroyers have been know to sink a battleship in ww2 a 5 inch gun fired at the superstructure of a battle ship would do massive damage

[frankydman]

I said a SINGLE Destroyer. A floatilla of Destroyers, maybe, but a Single, lone destroyer would stant no chance. In fact, at best a Battleship's main guns would have torn a DD apart before it got in range (USS Johnston only got close enough in the Battle off Samar because it used a tactic known as "Follow the splashes")

[golfisgreat123]

may 1943 the uss higgens launch 4 torpedos at the ijn takeo 2 of the 4 hit and sank the battleship

[98RamMagnum]

I've never heard of the USS Higgens, nor the IJN Takeo.

[hellomon100]

@98RamMagnum that USS Higgens is real but it is a modern missile destroyer

[frankydman]

Ok, 3 things:

1) there was no USS Higgens

2) There was no IJN Takeo; the Only Jap BBs during WWII were the Kongo, Haruna, Hiei, Kirishima, Fuso, Yamashiro, Ise, Hyuga, Nagato, Mutsu, Yamato and Musashi; none of which were sunk by single tin cans.

3) If you ment Takao, that was a CA that was crippled in the Palawan Passage during the battle of Leyte Gulf in '44 and spent the rest of the war in Singapore, and if u ment Higgins, the only USS Higgins that existed is a DDG currently in serivce

[hellomon100]

@frankydman IJN Takeo did exist but its a BC not a BB and it was sunk during midway with it taking 13 destroyers and 12 light cruisers until battleship new york got its guns on it and fired 4 salvos there ending IJN Takeo

[frankydman]

@hellomon100

Ok, your sources are complete bullsh**

There was NO IJN Takeo at Midway, or anywhere during WWII.

What is your source because it is obviously wrong.

[frankydman]

@hellomon100

The only Japanese Heavy Cruiser sunk at Midway was the Mikuma

And there was no Jap heavy cruiser called Takeo

[gmen999]

@frankydman ill back you up on this there was a Takao class but the ships in the class were like the maya etc

[98RamMagnum]

@hellomon100 Are you trolling? The New York wasn't even near the Pacific theater till after '44.

[gmen999]

@golfisgreat123 just so you know the Takeo was not a battleship!!!! it was a heavy crusier and the name was never Takeo it was just a class type durp

[gmen999]

@frankydman true on the 5 inch guns...... but if a fletcher was able to put all its torpedoes in a general are it could easly sink the Yamato....now it would be very hard to do so but it could be done

[Exilninja]

@gmen999

No, Yamato took 11 torpedoes before sinking in 1945. Fletcher class destroyers only launch ten at a time, even then Yamato will dodge a few of them, plus it's armor should shrug off torpedo hits.

[gmen999]

@Exilninja nah bro if the Destroyer got close enough so the arc couldnt hit it then it would never miss a torpedo and 10+ torpedoes is enough to sink it just FYI

[Exilninja]

@gmen999

"If the destroyer got close enough"

Stop right there. The Yamato's main guns are capable of firing over 26 miles, it's six inch guns can fire at least 10 miles, and the 3.9 inchers at close ranges. No way would one destroyer get that close to it that it's guns couldn't train on it. Take the Battle off Samar for example, it hit the destroyer USS Hoel (Fletcher-class) at a range of 19 miles, which almost sunk it. So do some research first before speaking a load of rubbish.

[gmen999]

@Exilninja ok so just to let you know the Yamato's smallest guns were the 6.1" cruiser guns, and it only had 5" Flak guns, .98" guns and im going to say that 1) yes the cruiser guns *SHOULD* key word there get the destroyer. 2) do your own research because you obviouly dont know what your talikng about cuz the gun sizes were 18.1", 6.1", 5", .98", and the last 2 were only AA cover just FYI 3) its range was 25 miles (40Km) which were its 18.1" guns and due to the out of date Fire control system

[gmen999]

@Exilninja had horrible accuracy, so before you challenge someone maby you should look up some facts so you dont look stupid

[Exilninja]

@gmen999

Really? Look up "Battle off Samar". You will find Yamatos accuracy wasn't "horrible" at all.

The chances of one destroyer getting to point-blank range of a battleship is about a million to one. For any battleship.

[biukucanoe]

in battle off samar 2 of 3 DDs sunk but Yamato was sent packing back to Japan and Japanese Navy was effectively out of business due largely to tincan sailors

[rommel5055]

great song
