[ILUV74]

I always recall my pop saying if isaid it was a wild night outside in broad scots, ye never seen nothing until ye done the convyoys up in the artic for the russians supply, saw a clip years later , my generation are very soft when i saw what they saliors put up with then. brave people.

[WELLBRAN]

LOL your Dad was right my Dad used to say the exact same thing! Navy men Eh?

[Germankirk]

Just incredible! Music and sound fits in wonderfully! Good work!

[WELLBRAN]

Thanks for your comments.

[Foxx1981]

Incredible. I mean not only did these men FIGHT in these seas: they did it because that was the glorious old RN's playground and not only because it was war.

Epic ships and epic sailors: they deserve... no, command respect and admiration!

Rule Brittania! God bless the souls on all sides that the waves took in that horrible war.

Pax Brittania! forever

[baghend]

Incredible. How brave they were. I'd have been sick for weeks.

But I suppose it was still better than being in North Africa in a tank at 130F

[Navigationbridge]

@Germankirk Yes I agree!! I really miss the sea so much when I see this clip.

[TSR1989RN]

Impressive (i cannot think if a better word), the best Video i've been recommended to date.

Definitely the Feircest Weather in living memory the Royal Navy has had to endure, which they evidently did rather well.

@bombarderoazul You have a splicing of several different little film clips The Carriers are Ark Royal and Victorious. The cruiser could, repeat could , have been Sheffield. The Heavies are Renown and a KGV battleship.

[bombarderoazul]

Can anyone tell me which ships are in this video, I notice a cruiser in front, an aircraft carrier in the middle and a powerful battleship behind them.

[higfny]

@WELLBRAN true. I would recommend "COXSWAIN IN THE NORTHERN CONVOYS" (sry caps, copy/paste :p) by Kerslake. You'll find most of the book for free if you google it.

[stevenreiss]

@ILUV74 i suppose thats true

[renat3103]

great video, thanks

[VtecArv]

This video is brilliant. One of my fav. books is about the battle for Atlantic during the IIWW. This is like taken from this book! Those where some rough times. So many died and drowned in the cold seas...

This is one of the two best heavy weather vids on You Tube. Without taking anything away from the vessels and their crews, it never ceases to amaze me that birds are always to be seen flying around in weather like this.
