It is the largest and most destructive war in human history. Yet even as the world burned, it was an era that brought out the best and the worst in the human soul. Today, the battlefields have long since fallen silent, and the scars have slowly begun to heal, yet beneath the oceans blue waters the remains of the ships lost by both sides lay, still locked in combat, along with those who went down with them, silent reminders of an era that saw Mankind's greatest triumphs and darkest attrocities: The Second World War

  • WHERE IS YAMATO BIGEST SHIP OF ALL TIME

  • @RC2497

    I put it in a different Lost Ships Video

  • well, where did you hear from that there were survivors from SS Armenia???!!!

  • @salamine153

    I found out about it from a post on my Whilelm Gustloff Video, and did some research into the attack

  • I forgot to mention something: HMS Dorsetshire is the ship that delivered the final blow to the Bismarck, and was also the ship that left Bismarck's survivors to die

  • We got left out of this video

    Nobody wants to remember us.

    And we're a result of the biggest US Navy Disaster

    USS Indianapolis, and nobody cares for us.

    DAMN folks think we should just drop off and die :-(

  • Actually it's my polocy to never reuse a ship twice. I included the Indy in my Lost Ships 1 Video.

see all

  • Intresting fact: The Cap Arcona was used in a propaganda filming of a Titanic Movie.

  • oops forgot Ships

  • SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! you should start with the first lost before making a comment on forgetting a ship!

  • @snakes3425 It delivered the final blow, but it wasn't what sank her. Bismarck was scuttled

  • thank you for including the HMS Sydney, my grandfather died on that ship

  • the ijn kirishima was a battlecruiser? I thought that it was a battleship

  • 0:51 115 survivors, like from cod zombies. a little creepy ( but that isnt the only thing i point out so dont get mad and say i shoulnt be watching these kind of vids if i only care about cod because id dont )

  • Excellent videos but not enough time to READ the narrative

  • I am glad that you included some of the lost refugee and transport ships that were sunk but are seldom talked about. A lot of non combatants died in those. Shocking loss of life.

  • Do IJN ships have a lower freeboard? Seems like they sit down lower than any of the others I see here.
