BrowningColt :

The Last Stand Of The Tin Can Sailors

The real Iron Man :

fought Yamato for hours. commander died and still kept going. shot ALL its torpedos. shot so many shells the barrels melted when the the Gunners were told to stand down they didn't. Japanese cruisers took the time to sail over to them out of their way and salute them.

The names Styx :

everyone on the USS Johnston

“I do not wish to associate with any vessel that sails slow. For I intend to go into harms way.” - John Paul Jones

Sky :

Smaller means harder to hit

Warship_fan ✅ :

Fun fact: Uss Johnston put up such a insane fight that the Japanese thought they were facing a much bigger force then they thought

Alex Mason :

This song hits HARD!! What’s this song called again?

Barkbark.subby :

It’s cool that once you are outnumbered and surrounded, you don’t really have to worry about aiming anymore

saltysergeant :

USS Johnston

BCfan2010 :

Where is the clip actually from? It sounds like a documentary

Wilhlem Heckepfad :

How. Is. This. Not. A. Movie. Yet.

CaptinVictoric247 :

The Japanese reported to sink her 4 times and misclassified the fletcher class destroyer as a cruiser and battleship before sinking

Lodewyk :

The kinda scenarios I made up as a kid playing with my toy soldiers

Leviathan’s order :

I swear US destroyers were on 500 pounds of steroids

Landon Hancher :

When causes clash, the spirits of man cry out, for king and country, for the man next to them, those behind them, and a home to return to, no cry is too quiet, no blood too cold. All is proven, a baptism of flame fury. We call this conviction

Brandon Pearson :

The us navy was on demon time good lord😅

Chaplain :

"We have met the enemy, and we have not yet begun to fight!"

Annoyed custodian :

Drifting a ship is insane

Clinton :

I can just imagine the thoughts of the men on board knowing they aren't gonna make it out alive, but they weren't gonna be going alone and were gonna bring as many with her as she could

Zack Reule :

USS Johnston, with the help of fighters/bombers from the escort carriers peppering the decks, stopping a torpedo run on the escort carriers by a group of Japanese destroyers is still one of the most bad ass naval things I've ever heard
