Loading...Episode 38 of Know Your Ship! In this educational video I cover the interesting story of the SS Scharnhorst. The Scharnhorst started her career as a cruiser ship for Norddeutsche Lloyd but at the start of World War 2 was trapped in Japan with no way to make it safely back to Germany. Instead she was sold to the Japanese who ended up turning her into an escort carrier the Shinyo. The carrier conducted a few escort missions before being sunk by the USS Spadefish. Well Captain’s sit back, relax and enjoy the story of the other Scharnhorst.

I am so glad to see more of these videos. They were the reason I subscribed
back in the day and it is nice to see more of them. Not that I don’t like
WoWs gameplay, but I missed these.
The USS Becuna, which is mentioned as sinking a transport, protected by IJN
Shinyo, survives today in Philadelphia as a Museum ship. Just throwing that
out there.
More “Know Your Ships” videos pleeeeaaassseee.
really interesting video chase. The ship probably served more use in the
Japanese navy than she would have in the German navy, though it would be
interesting to see her as an escort carrier in the German navy and what she
might have done. Also if you’re going to make a know your ships video on
the Dresden i can email you a video of her and her amazing war story and of
her sister ship Emden.
Great video, would never have guessed that thats how her life would go.
Kinda sad really.
+iChaseGaming Another idea for know your ship if you want could be the USS
West Virginia I know most people sent fond of the Colorado class of
battleships but they where an important part of the navy in the bringing of
the war and in the interwar periods 🙂 but it’s just an idea I know you
busy so I just though I would share my thoughts.
Thanks chase
fantastic with these know your ships episodes I’ve learned so much thank
you for doing these!
I am hoping that you will do an episode on the Myoukou class, the
Richelieu, York-class (the actual British one, not the German Yorck
papership)and the de Ruyter class at some point.I can’t get enough of these
vids, it is a great format for a quick (or 40 minutes) general overview of
ships. Keep up the awesome work!
The Shinyo is a pretty unpopular ship I guess, you must have done a lot of
work.
An interesting story I had never heard of before!
Good job, I know they must be a lot of work, but I sure enjoy ‘Know your
ship’. Keep up the good work!
Yaaay! More “know your ship” videos 🙂 These are awesomesauce :)
Thanks chase I was so hyped to see this
You said sank in 43 Meters of water and the position is known. Easily
within divers reach, has anyone done so ?
excellent work.
This looks like the teir 5 Japanese cv
Great video and very interesting… Thanks iChase
Great vid again. Its a lot better when you narrate the whole thing imo.
Well i didnt need that much of imagination, great vid chase!
This should be called “The other, OTHER Scharnhorst”, since we all seem to
be forgetting what was likely the most famous Scharnhorst of all, the
flagship of Admiral Maximillian Graf von Spee’s Eastern cruiser squadron in
World War 1, winner of the battle of Coronel (where the armored cruisers
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau plus a couple lighter units beat the Armored
cruisers Good Hope and Monmouth and lighter units) and lost at the battle
of the Falklands (Where both armored cruisers were sunk by a British task
force whose main strength lay in the Battlecruisers Invincible and
Inflexible – the first action by Battlecruisers doing what they were
designed to do, hunt and kill armored cruisers).
Hi I Chase
Can You Play With Another YouTubers
Or
Make New Know Your Ship Series With Renown Class BC Or Something Like That
upon further examination i have noticed a distinct lack of videos on the
Shokoku class carrier, which was the Japanese equivalent of the Yorktown
class, i hope you rectify this, as it was one of the only class of Japanese
carriers to serve throughout most of the war
Please make one video for IJN destroyer Yukikaze (Kagero class), it has a
lot of story to tell =D
Is this a sign of new things to come to WoWS? :)
I have a really awesome book on my Kindle called Shadow Voyage about the
sailing of the Vaterland (I think, it could be Imperator) from New York
back to Germany as she did her best to evade the allies right as war broke
out. It’s a really cool story.
Didn’t know that one, interesting.
You forgot to talk slow. But, more! More!
Great job, as always :)
It has been too long since the last Know Your Ship video.
Thanks for another awesome video Chase!
looks like ryoujo … :p good job chase
