Top 10 Biggest Battleships ever built in history

Iowa was a planned six ship class, only four were built.

مؤسف كان بإمكان كل من الولايات المتحدة و بريطانيا بناء سفن حربية اكبر أكثر مما تسطتيع اليابان و لكن لأنهم كنا ملتزيمان بالمعهدات التى تفرد لهم قيود لبناء السفن على عكس اليابان التى أنسحبت الدليل هو أن المعهدات البحرية فرضت قيود أكثر على بريطانيا و الولايات المتحدة من اليابان و باقى البلدان التى تسطتيع بناء سفن حربية بشكل واسع و السبب يعود إلى قدرتهما الصناعية الهائلة

Where tf is Admiral class (ex: HMS Hood)? It was the longest and among the biggest royal navy ship in ww2

I learned for the first time from watching this video that the length of the Iowa class is 290m.

CORRECTION: there are FOUR Iowa class battleships, not 6. Yes 6 were contracted but the last two were not completed. what remains of the 5th one, the Kentucky, is on the front of the Wisconsin as the bow was cut off of the unfinished Kentucky to repair damage to the original bow of the Wisconsin. Hence the nick name of Wisky for the battleship.

For me the IOWA class battleships are by far the best looking of the group...sleek and fast with a very nasty punch. The fact that they were modernized at one point with Phalanx defense systems and Tomahawk cruise missiles just adds icing to the cake.

всего 242 метра? меньше чем яхты русских олигархов, что б они сдохли

Ridiculous.

So why is Richelieu number 10 exactly ?

Big shit vidéo

The narration is very strange - sounds robotic; kind of annoying.

Die Iowa Class ist graphisch falsch dargestellt, da sie nur 33 Meter Breit ist (Panama Max.) Die Bismarck Klasse hat 36 Meter Breite,und ist somit 3 m. Breiter, als diese.

戦艦大和は戦後、新幹線に姿を変えました。

Nagato class most beautyfull of all time 🧐👍

We don't use the metric system so you should do both conversions otherwise useless information😢

Musashi left the chat

I say Yamato, you say yomato.

9 16inch 50.caliber guns excuse me what

The ship that can land a shell on target first has the largest advantage .

HMS Hood should have been in there no?

In the video, the Yamato top view is hugely out of proportion / scale with the rest of the ships next to it. Inexcusable, especially so for a video that wants to compare sizes. Compared to the Iowa class top view right below, it looks as wide and much shorter in length, whereas the data tell another story.

Hotel Yamato

yes the ingenuity of man to kill a man

The yamato is also the worlds biggest submarine and its the best too considering it hasnt surfaced in almost 80 years

Use freedom units ok not idiots units 🙄❌

U forgetting Musashi 😂

The U.S.S. New Jersey was decommisoned a final time on February 8th 1991, after providing some support in the Persian Gulf campaign. She was Iowa class, and still packed a good punch.

The missouri is longer than the Yamato!

Yamato class battle ship also had the ijn shinano

INJ battleships are not “class” but “type”.

U forgot about the french battleship called Richelieu

Of all the battleships classes that fought in WWII, only the Iowa-class battleships survived and went on to serve for the entirety of the Cold War. It was only after the Soviet Union collapsed that they were finally retired.

if they say there are 6 Iowa's build - not right...
2 where not completed (BB-65 Illinois and BB-66 Kentucky - the Bow of the Kentucky later replaced the damaged Bow from Wisconsin).

by that Logic they should mention the "3rd Yamato" - the Shinano who converted to a Aircraft Carrier.

YA
MA
TO
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naruto characters have their own ships now

imagine the ridiculous vessels we could have seen if the war was even just a couple years longer.

Don't know meters just feet come on people

The French battleship "Richelieu" never flew the flag with the Lorrinne cross because it never belonged to the Free French naval forces commanded by Admiral Muselier himself under the orders of General de Gaulle.

Correction: There were only 4 Iowa class battleships completed, although the other 2 were only partially complete, before being dismantled after the war. Suggestion: The narration and subtitles should include metric and standard measurements in all cases.

if Yamato was built during the 1910s, it would look probably look like the Iron Duke class with turrets much like the Pennsylvania class

German fan seeing this: I only care about Bismarck.

I looked it up there only 4 Iowa class not 6

The Admiral class should have been in 5th position displacing 47,300 tons

I have the Yamato on world of warships, she's ok but not the ship to be used all time because repair costs....

Commento in Italiano prego!

The Germans are surprised that the Nazi ship Bismarck is not the biggest battleship ever built in history. Because that is what is said again and again in Germany. Because according to the megalomaniac view of the people there, everything the Nazi nation built was actually the best. To this day they ask themselves why the Nazi state, that was in their opinion so great was defeated and miserably collapsed. Of course, they don't want to know at all that in reality this miserable Nazi state was actually bankrupt in 1939 because of the immense costs of rearmament in the 30s and only survived by redevelopment of the state budget with the loot from the occupied countries. They also don't want to know that the allegedly great German army in reality was only inadequately mechanized. In fact, in its bulk, the German army was not motorized but used horses and mules for transportation. Infantry and horse-drawn artillery formed the bulk of the German Army throughout the war and only one fifth of the Army belonged to tank and mechanized divisions. Each German infantry division employed thousands of horses and mules and thousands of men taking care of them. A total of 80% of German entire transport in WW2 was equestrian.

They also don't want to know that the Germans, who were in their opinion allegedly so technologically superior, lost the war also because of their technological inferiority. The Germans have theirs megalomaniac believed that the Enigma cipher device could not be decrypted because it was allegedly so technologically superior. But in reality the Polish experts at the Polish Cipher Bureau developed techniques for to read German Enigma messages starting from 1933. Unfortunately, shortly before the war the Germans then modified the Enigma machine and therefore the Poles could no longer decode the German radio. But the Poles had the technology to decrypt the Enigma, including the decryption machine which was a kind of first computer. With the Polish technology, the British were able to decrypt Enigma again after some time. The Germans were also backwards in mass production technology, which was crucial to success in the war. In the volume of the production the Gemans could not match the combined armaments production of the USSR, let alone the considerable production of the United States. The Germans were completely unable to produce important weapons in large quantities. The Germans produced only 8,500 of the most produced Panzer IV tanks. The Soviets, on the other hand produced 57,000 of the most produced T 34 tanks and the Americans produced 50,000 of the most produced Sherman tanks. The number of Panther tanks and Tiger tanks produced was than significantly lower. All of these tanks were actually not mass-produced. Another aspect was the nuclear weapons, which showed that the Germans were completely technologically inferior. Because the Germans were also unable to develop nuclear weapons. The Americans were far superior in this respect and could have ended the war with nuclear weapons anyway if the Germans had refused to surrender. But at least, the Germans were superior in rocket technology, which in reality was completely irrelevant and actually just a waste of resources. It's good that the Germans made the mistake and used up a lot of resources to produce this rocket nonsense, because in fact more slave workers died in production than Allied civilians died from bombing with the rockets.

To believe that I am wrong, that many Germans think this way, is a mistake. Because I know what people think in Germany for I lived in this terrible country for a long time. There is also a saying in Germany that illustrates this belief in the superiority of the Nazi state. When a German is enthusiastic about something, he says that saying. "German tanks are rolling again." This is said with a warlike tone.

If you look closely, you will notice that they are as arrogant and impudent as they were in the Kaiser era and Nazi era and believe that they are superior to other nations in all aspects.

Sh1t commentary read by a robot spoils whole thing

the Sturm class of uddsr was 70.000t...almost as big as yamato..but it was only.90% comple by war begin

The Yamato class are both on the seafloor. All of the built Iowa-class are Museum ships. Need I say more?
