We missed you man
❤ your work as always
nah its crap
What was in the secret crates?
@@megodsta2256 adult toys
Where are the sources for the video?
Declassified records actually showed that 3 US Military stations in the pacific received distress signals from the Indianapolis as she was sinking. Of the commanders of the stations receiving the distress calls, one was drunk and didn’t pass on the information, one had ordered his men that he was not to be disturbed and the third thought it might be a Japanese trap to lure a rescue vessel to the area and ignored the call.
Everyone was so goddamn unlucky in this incident.
- [JAPAN] Nuclear materials successfully delivered.
- [CREW OF THE USS INDIANAPOLIS] Surviving an absolute hell in the Philippine Sea with those distress signals ignored.
- [CHARLES MCVAY] Unrightfully charged and ended up committing suicide.
Source?
@@stevemc01empire at work
That last one is sadly understandable because the Indianapolis' mission was so secret that no one knew it was supposed to be there. "Indianapolis? There's no record of an Indianapolis along that rout."
CZcams won’t let me post the link but source is Timothy W. Maier “For The Good of the Navy"
A not so fun fact: despite evading the torpedoes being virtually impossible, the navy still court martialed Captain Mcvay for failing to protect the ship. Since this was after the war Hashimoto was invited to the trial, he claimed it would have been impossible to avoid however his court answers were mistranslated to he could have avoided them and was found guilty. He left the navy shortly after and was harassed and threatened by relatives of the dead sailors for the rest of his life until he ended it himself in 1968. Only after his death was the record set straight.
tragic indeed, i can barely finish watching this story
It's like it didn't get tragic enough, huh
There's a good book called "Left for dead" by Pete Nelson that talks about the High Schooler who actually campaigned for the clearing of Captain McVay's name. Would recomend.
Thank you for your comment, I too remember these facts and I'm glad you beat me to it 😂
"mistranslated"
The USN's betrayal of Captain Mcvay was disgusting. They turned him into a scapegoat over the protestations of crew and even testimony of Captain Hashimoto that there was nothing he could do to evade the torpedoes. This eventually led Mcvay to commit suicide and it would take until 2000 for the USN to posthumously exonerate Mcvay.
If you think that is bad, look at the USS Iowa incident from the 80s.
@@pheonixshaman oh I know, it's not an isolated case. The US military and Government have a long history of screwing over their veterans the moment they become less than convenient.
God bless Murica
Fun Fact: When the 1980's rolled around a push came for Captain McVay's to be pardoned for the incident. And one of the people pushing for the pardon was Captain Hashimoto himself. Now a Shinto Priest. And at a memorial ceremony at Pearl Harbor Hashimoto stood with the members of the Indianapolis's crew and basically said that he stood with them despite what he did to them decades ago. And a member of the crew said to Hashimoto "I forgive you." Eventually McVay was granted a posthumous pardon.
Hashimoto did nothing wrong. He did his duty. As long as he was not committing war crimes he was just doing his job so there was nothing to apologize for.
@@arrow1414---I know. I wasn't accusing him of anything.
@@brokenbridge6316
I realize that. I was reacting to the fact that Hashimoto apparently felt the need for forgiveness.
@@arrow1414---I know. But how people feel in war can be very negative. And I thought it was a wonderful moment when that crewmen told Hashimoto that he forgave him. To me it meant some of the wounds of that war were healing.
@@brokenbridge6316
Ageed.
"Eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 were pulled from the water and the sharks took the rest. Well anyway, we delivered the Bomb."
Scrolling down the comments to see the Jaws connection. Yours is the only one I have seen so far. Do you think the others don't know? Too young?
Nah, I recognized it immediately. Probably the best scene of the movie to be honest in terms of just the acting and performance.
We're going to need a bigger boat.
This channel is immensely underrated! I hope you come back to making content soon and achieve the views you’ve deserved.
It's August 16th, 2023, somewhere on the Internet. BazBattles unexpectedly uploads a new video. As you have notifications on for this channel, you are immediately notified and press play. The video is about to begin.

wish you would produce more videos. i love your videos!
BazBattles was the OG battle analyzer that started others, such as Kings and Generals.
Wasn’t it epichistorytv? Bazbattles made its oldest video private so i can’t compare the dates
Ok i checked: epic history tv uploaded its first battle video in 2015. Bazbattles was created in 2016
@@franciscovelasco5422It might not just be about who made it first, but also about who made it famous first
@@franciscovelasco5422 AFAIK the first channel to use the specific format that Bazbattles and K&G use was Historia Civilis (czcams.com/video/SU1Ej9Yqt68/video.html)
It's all about who remains after competition got a lot harder
When the USS Indianapolis took off for Tinian with two strange boxes, nobody could possibly understand that death was onboard that ship.
Cursed in a way, the bombs may have ended the war early, saved millions of allied soldiers ready to invade Japan in the following 2 months, but the specter of doom, the very omen of death they had on board would seal their own fate.
Poetic tragedy perhaps, They may have saved million lives, ended the war, but had to pay the ultimate price themselves for it.
The Great Bazz is back!
hey man i notice you haven't posted in a while missing the content keep up the good work hope everything is good.
BazBattled is one of my favorite battle channels. I just wish they could make more episodes.
They should also focus on modern battles more.
HIs videos would take a huge amount of time to research, write, record and edit. And he wouldn't make that much money per video and likely has a life and job outside of YT so makes sense the videos are intermittent.
@@the2dudes1 I agree. HistoryMarche is starting to branch out more into other historical video subjects, yet everyone is begging him to finish Hannibal, who jump-started his channel from the beginning. A channel's niche can only go so far, and like Epic History TV, he only has a few videos left with Napoleon's story before finding another topic that will keep his viewership count up. People forget that these channels are ordinary people who have lives and must meet their daily personal tasks
Baz started drinking. So there will be no more uploading. Thanks for everything Baz! U were the best!
Started what? What happened to him?
@@karthikvs9635 He was Ukrainian and was at the front 7 mths ago.
I was on a shark hunting expedition with a guy named Quint who survived this event and told us this story. Sadly, he was eaten by a great white the next day.
Sounds like you could have used a bigger boat.
@@Bucketheadhead 'tis a Jaws reference.
One time my cousin Bernie was throwing a big party for the weekend...
Well i have heard the Story of Quint, too. Quint was wrong. Most sailors died of Dehydration or drowned. 7 days in the ocean without fresh water IS absolutely Impossible. Its a myth, that all but 316 survivors were raten b sharks. They were in the middle of the ocean
Most sharks hunt near the Coast or shores.
I knew that guy, his friend was bitten in half from the bottom and was a baseball player before the war. RIP Quint
This channel is easily one of the best history channels on CZcams, the level of quality is amazing.
Does anyone know what happened to this channel? Just found their content and it’s been really good so far. Did they stop posting videos entirely or are they just on hiatus?
No one really knows as far as I can tell. He never released why content slowed and eventually was abandoned all together…
"Sharks don't like how we taste" yeah alright😂
The recounting of the Indianapolis fate by Quint is one of the best scene of Jaws, and that's saying much. Maybe even more frightening than the shark's attacks themselves.
always a good day when Baz is back
Truly one of the most difficult stories of that war, but then there really aren't any easy one's in war are there?
Thank you for treating it with due respect.
Very thrilled to see your name pop up on patreon! Great content as always!
These are probably my favorite videos on YT, the naval ones especially. Really happy to see this pop up! :)
Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.
Robert Shaw, absolutely nailed that role.
Greatest movie monologue ever.
Bazbattles, please make more content.
cage goes in the water, you go in the cage, sharks in the water, our shark.... farewell to you fair spanish ladies....
That damn movie scarred me for a good two years...was terrified of the ocean as a kid because of it.
The fate of the Indianapolis will be forever immortalised in the film Jaws _"....sometimes the sharks would go away, sometimes they wouldn't go away"_ - Quint: Captain of the Orca.
I live in Indianapolis and we have memorial to the ship and a beam from the ship as part of the memorial. It was a sad story only told in 2 movies, Jaws and USS Indianapolis w/ Nicholas cage as the Cpt. McVay
It's always awesome to see Baz battles posting videos again.
That countdown is chilling, given the context.
Didnt expect to see this story on BazBattles of all places. Perfect end to the morning.
"But we delivered the bomb."
bro i love your ship battles and how they break it down keep up the good work
Quint: So, eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.
Anyway... we delivered the bomb.
glad to see you posting a video brother
Please do more land battles anywhere from 500 bc to 1500 its your best work
Difficult to do an account of this events better than that shark hunter named Quint in the best scene of Jaws. A tragic war episode indeed.
Please make a video on Battle of Imphal-Kohima ww2
Can you go over the battle of Jutland because your videos are awesome.
So, what was the secret cargo? Was it the nuke?
The nuke wouldn't have fit in one crate. Or two
It was the final components and the uranium required to finish building the nukes
@@karlwittenburg5868 I really don't see a reason to ferry these by ship. If a Stratofortress was able to carry to the bomb, it would have been able to carry the components of the bomb as well, and probably in a single trip too
@@samarkand1585 well it may also be machinery required to assemble to bomb as well
@@karlwittenburg5868 Look, point is, you just don't know, so just take a seat like everyone else
As i dont think it was mentioned, the crates contained enriched uranium
Wait, but only several weeks later they dropped the bomb? How can they implement it so fast
@@olafmesschendorp147 the bomb was assembled in tinian as the parts were shipped separately to avoid it all being lost in case of a sinking
@@humphrey10-88
Smart. Considering what happened here. I often wondered what might have been had the Indianapolis been sunk before it was able to deliver the cargo.
You're back. Awesome.
Loudoun Hill? We need that battle. as well as some from the War of the Roses
What happened to this ship was a great tragedy, because dying in combat is acceptable, but doing it for not being rescued in time is horrible.
Just when I was having a badish day at work..Bazbattles Saves The Day Again!
Another quality Baz episode.
Haven't watched but excited :) Thanks Baz!
Wow, this was a breath of fresh air! Baz is back!
A tragic loss of life
Another great video mate. Have you considered doing the Battle of Imphal and Kohima at all in the Burma campaign? I've not seen any CZcams video's on it. 1500 vs 15000.
thanks it was very interesting!
I wonder how would the war continue, if USS Indianapolis was sank BEFORE arriving to Tinian with the atomic bomb...
Great videos
Gotta hand it to ya, Baz. You made this whole thing about as soft as possible considering the horror of the whole ordeal. Thanks for that. I steeled myself for the brutality those men faced but that numerical counter ticking down from 892 all the way down to 316 was the worst part. Knowing each of those men plus the ones lost in the torpedoing and sinking all had their own unique life story and background going into this conflict is just too unbearable to cover in an educational video like this much less an entire full feature length documentary film.
Thanks for all the great historical lessons, BazBattles! Keep 'em comin'.
I wish Baz would upload more frequently, especially the older style videos with medieval warfare
Glad to have a video from you again. And narrated again by Dan Boud, no less.
Hi Baz, interesting premise. Thumbs 👍 👍
yes a new upload this channel is just LEGANDARY IN LEVEL. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SO MANY CHANNELS THIS DESVERES A AWARD THE MOST FOR QUALITY
I love your videos and I wish anybody involved in their creation the absolute best in life!
I love your videos!
Makes my day when ur channel pops up with a new vid
Please make videos on the British Eastern Fleet and The British Pacific Fleet 🙏
Hashimoto himself pushed to have McVay pardoned.
Finally another good video from bazbattle
A new BazBattles video 😮😮😮
HERE WE GOOOOO BAZZZZZZ
So good to hear from you my dear friends!!!!
Hey bazz is back cool 😎
It would be a great job if you could cover the early Roman-Sassanid wars such as campaigns of Ardashir I and Shapur I.
Especially the battle of Edessa between Shapur and Gordian
Hope you make a video on that
I can only imagine the sting of being rescued by a destroyer, aftering being denied one for escort.
Love your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Can't wait to see you do the third crusade
We're going to need an additional video on the fates of those that failed the Indianapolis. Those that did deserve a posthumous court martial.
Dude with Marine Science degree here who's a total shark nerd....the sharks were NOT attracted by the smell of blood. It was the NOISE. Human blood lacks an amino acid that is found in fish. So our blood scent is unfamiliar to them. But SOUND travels way faster underwater. So they heard that and were drawn to it. The main shark responsible is the Oceanic Whitetip, which swims in the open ocean, especially near the surface. In fact, that shark was the one most feared by Jacques Cousteau. But blood won't attract them.
EDIT: Will add that the men were all kicking and screaming. These erratic movements tend to imitate wounded prey, triggering the shark's curiosity. Holding still tends to make a shark less interested, but with sooooo many men acting like that, this only made them more curious. I've even noticed this myself when a bull shark bumped into my tank. Once I held still and made myself look as big as possible, she turned away.
Hollywood: "Sharks are your friends"
Nature: *you're just food*
**cough* Jaws...
He returns!
I’m happy Captain Quint survived.
History often has a rather funny & poetic way of delivering justice...
Next do the USS liberty incident!
2:46 - "Obviously this blue part here is the land..."
Welcome back ❤
War thunder has Portland but the model of uss Indianapolis is leaked in the files but still confirmation if the devs are gonna add her in the game
i love baze battles
This channel used to be so good and was kind of first of this historical documentary animation thing. I remember it back in 2016. Well until King & General took the helm.
K&G have been going downfall recently as well, especially after being found out they’re being funded by US backed special interests to push crap favorable on the Ukraine war, shady.
Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then - aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces…
Finally!!!
Hey Bazbattles, how about a video about the Third Servile War (aka, the Spartacan Rebellion), specifically the Battle of the Silarus River.
one has to wonder whether it was the preferred scene of the high top that the delivery vessel of the Bomb just disappeared
Yeah a new vid:-D
BazBattles post again!
Hey @BazBattles!!! Love your videos. Was hoping you could do the Battle of Midway or the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Seen other creators videos but none are as interesting as yours.
Welcome back.
Hey, i love your videos... Im starting a project to do animations about other themes and will be perfect to explain if i use this kind of animation that you use. Im having difficult to find the right software to do animations from this perspective, above. Which software do you use to create? Can you help me?
Remember the Guy from Jaws…
Please make a video on Battle of Imphal-Kohima ww2 and the British Pacific Fleet
Daaaaang that's craaazy yo
Almost feels like poetic justice, that the ones carrying such unfathomable weapons of war would not be allowed to escape unscathed themselves
Please do more sea battles of WW2
Lest we forget.
