Episode 47 of Know Your Ship! In this educational episode I cover the Shiratsuyu class destroyers. These 10 ships provided valuable service to the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War 2. Notable ships of the class include Shigure and Yuudachi. Anyways hope you enjoy this episode folks.
Captain Hara’s book Japanese Destroyer Captain: https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Destroyer-Captain-Tameichi-Hara/dp/034531767X
Brace yourself. The pois are coming
I like most of your stuff… But the “know your ship” is by far your best
content!
I haven’t watched til 7 mins in, but I’m guessing the captain is Tameichi
Hara (just saw the description 12 mins in xD)
read the book months ago, an utterly amazing read
do kagerou class too, specially yukikaze.
Really goes to show that war isn’t all about fighting, guns, or explosions.
It’s about decisions, logic, and objectives. The discrepancies between
Japanese and US fire control may have been enough for the US to get away
with a few mistakes, as well as have a fundamental advantage in low
visibility conditions, but if they had people like captain Hara running the
navy and calling out the orders, that would be a really scary navy to fight
Something from the soviet navy, please? Just to shut the mouths of those
‘op papership’ screaming kids. Maybe the arctic convoys or the Black Sea
Poi poi poi
Funnily enough, I’m reading a book involving the *Shigure* written back on
’07, where she (for some reason. The author wrote Captain Hara as a
Japanese Grand Admiral Thrawn because reasons) was an absolute badass that
sunk sub after sub, a couple of cruisers, and allied destroyers. It’s
absolutely ridiculous, even *before* you start imaging the girl as her
KanColle counterpart, which only multiplies the funny factor.
Bravo Zulu!!! Very well done.
Oh hell no!!!!! Enough with the Japanese DDs
I really love these videos Chase. I trust you get the history right, sit
back and enjoy!
was half expecting the entire comment thread to be full of poi, also “how
about we we start the greatest party ever” should be added as the a
replacement for the Battle start voice line in the shiratsuyu class
destoryer line xD
Welcome to Chase History Lesson, where everything is relevant
Thanks for giving the link to purchase the book Ichase.
Great video
Japanese High Command = WG WOWS Game Dev.
Yes! More IJN ships, me so happy. *jumps with joy* poi poi poi :-)))
Read the book guys, It’s a specialty press item, and may be available
through your local county library system.(or through inter library loan).
New copies are not cheap But if you like good military history its a “must
Have” when it comes to naval combat.
I love how the wakeless Type 93 have bigger wakes than the American
torpedoes in World of Warships.
cpt.Hara deserves a movie
7:00 why’d you say you weren’t supposed to bring up Amatsukaze…?
