Loading...Today finds the USS Batfish at rest in a memorial park in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where she serves as a museum ship.
The Balao-class submarines became a real nightmare for the Japanese Navy during World War II. Hunting both in packs and alone, they were not known to shy away from any target, whether it be an enemy oil tanker, large warship, or submarine.
But what was the story of submarine USS Batfish? Watch our video and find out!
Keep an eye out on the official World of Warships website. Your first port of call for new ship releases!

Happy Independence Day, Commanders!
The day of adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 is regarded as the day when the United States was born as a free, independent country. This day is the main national holiday in the US. Although the official name of the holiday is Independence Day, most refer to it simply by the date—the Fourth of July.
What do you think about today’s episode?:)
The USS Silverside submarine is near where I i live and is open as a museum now. These guys had balls of steel!
I’m from Muskogee. Visiting the Batfish never gets old. The museum even has the bell from the USS Oklahoma.
@saint chuck The fact that whoever you’re talking to is deleted shows you how much free speech people have now adays.
When will subs be coming to the main tech tree?
I would have appreciated to get the US high tier bombers for Independence Day in World of Warplanes. Any chances to have some development in WoWP this year?!
I like these videos. Can you do one for Akagi?
Could you do a naval legends on USS Intrepid?
Also keep up the good work
You- demands
Most people – ask
I would like to see one, my grandfather served on her.
Interpid? Wasnt one of her nickname ‘the blue ghost’ (like enterprises ‘grey ghost’)?
this chanell is better than my teacher in explaining this things.
Great video, Naval Legend vids are really some of the best the WoWS YT has to offer!
I mean, after the disappointing show of Bismarck which many people were waiting for a long time, it’s good.
Video production and Art department hard carry as always.
“again, wg graphics department really pulling through”
Hi flamu!!!!!!

So irl Chris Pratt didn’t become the Dino Trainer of Jurassic World…
He became the fish trainer of USS Batfish Museum
“They did what we don’t do anymore…MATH!!!”
But accurate, sadly.
He’s going to be very disappointed when he meets the boys who build the technology that removes the need for that math.
@Jack Danny They already did…it’s called CAD!!!
Ya because the math we did do led to the machines that do it for us.
Don’t be ashamed when you’re smart enough to make a machine do your work for you.
If you are, then go ahead and swim around under the water and punch out those battleships to death.
Cause the submarine is swimming for you too.
we still use math on “atom smashers”
America: We had cruise control at this point…
Japan: would you like to search the whole Pacific and Atlantic for submarine aircraft carriers?
kek, fumching undersea war crimes
Check 2 cities in 🇯🇵 first its easy to see. The sleeping Giants foot steps are still visible to this day. We have a pearl in the pacific that reminds us of you.
America: You want us put your whole country too your knees with a Ba Ba Bomb….. BOOM X2! Nuff said.
Check video at 13:03. They had a lot more than cruise control. Also, submarine carriers are a shitty poor man’s balistic missile submarine.
Imagine if the voice actor for Batman went to this submarine. “Batman has visited Batfish!”
Imagine taking a batshit.
And he fights an oversized batfish
1. This episode is amazing as always
2. Incorporated animated humans, wow
There is a Balao class submarine (SS-426) is still in service. (❁´◡`❁)
Taiwanese GUPPY boat?
The Taiwanese also have a Tench in service
shaider1982 there is only one GUPPY 3 submarine remaining its the USS Clamagore which is currently rotting away in Charleston South Carolina and is unfortunately planned to be turned into an artificial reef
@Sir Boomsalot Yup, SS-478 (SS-791) also in service 🙂
Hm more like Traitor’s Day
-The British
As an American this made me laugh pretty hard!
@Jack Danny As superb sports, we British gave no reaction
(u have to watch Squire to get it 🙈)
I wish Americans would remind themselves more, we’re a bunch of rebels fighting for the rebel alliance. That’s real America. Take pride in our Treason, Freedom isn’t free!
Ya basically.
But children grow up and leave the home, don’t they?
One man’s traitor is another man’s liberator. Don’t forget that we “traitors” snatched your British chestnuts out of the Hun’s fire – TWICE! “Can’t get no respect!”
The bond of a Submarine crew last for a very long time, When I retired from the U.S. Navy in 2004, both Pacflt and SubPac were both prior Captains of mine and for some odd reason still liked me. Nothing like being a Chief and calling a 3-Star and a 4-Star by their first names. Come to think of it, I knew the first name of every Captain I ever sailed under.
For the record, a Submarine batter that gets flooded out produces Chlorine gas and Hydrogen gas. The Hydrogen self burns at 4% atmosphere and self detonates at 8% atmosphere.

Thank you for your service.
@Jeff Allen If you really thankful for my service, call your Congressmen and Senators and tell them to fully fund the VA and other veteran programs. Thank you.
@Tom A. oh I have!
@Jeff Allen Good, thank you
@BC Bob The Silent Service is not run like regular Navy. It is much less formal. Only officer i might use ‘sir’ to was to the Captain, junior officers not hardly at all up to and including my own engineer. Beards are a regular thing to grow.
Three Japanese submarines sunk in three days… I don’t know of a Las Vegas bookie who wouldn’t give a 500-to-1 odds of that, then cry come pay-off day. ~_^
Code breakers sent them information on the subs course and destination. They were ambushed.
My wife and I went to go see the Batfish so I can see the same kind of submarine my dad was on during wwll and what a gorgeously retired and kept togeather boat. The staff was more than friendly and very helpful for information and I was given special permission to see section of her that was off limits. Thank you to everyone at the museum for a more than wonderful experience.
I wish that the uss clamagore would be preserved in the same way it’s the only One of this class to have the guppy 3 modification and right now it’s rotting away in Charleston South Carolina and in 2021 it’s planned to be turned into an artificial reef
The original torpedoe’s were terrible and the navy yard refused to believe it.
An hour from my house. Last year, during record flooding, the Batfish actually floated off her resting spot. Quick work by park staff and emergency services, managed to get her moored in a makeshift manner, preventing her from making her last sortie.
Yeah I’m from OKC I remember that
Bro same I also live a hour away and I remember that flood I was worried for the sub
Some of that steel on the outside doesn’t look to good.
Dr Phloxx if you think that doesn’t look good you should look at the clamagore
there is a rare variety of this class of submarine with the guppy 3 modification there is only one left and unfortunately it’s museum is going to turn into an artificial reef
“There will never be submarines in World of Warships”
Remember when they said this over and over again?
They should have crew on board too.
World of ghost ships.
I’ve already started playing other games. So sick and tired of all these new OP ships that can hit you w/o being hit back. Battlestar Galatica Online did the same thing…killed the game.
@John Bates Radar is what did it.
“The torpedoes used on US submarines demonstrated very poor efficiency due to their technical imperfections”
I was wondering if they were going to bring up the Mark 14 in this video. A bit of an understatement to their early performance issues.
