1
00:00:00,049 --> 00:00:06,799
essential if they were to save that shit

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:10,860
the

3
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:13,120
if

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:16,689
I went to a naval training center to
experience from myself some of the

5
00:00:16,689 --> 00:00:19,200
challenges faced by the Yorktown screw

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,040
as they struggle to extinguish the
flames not true at all

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,800
yeah I woke up onto the unit

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,190
so this is a a replica of the ship okay
we're now in the engine room in this is

9
00:00:31,190 --> 00:00:32,040
where you can imagine

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,180
most your fault fighting now you're
gonna make your entry damage vertical

11
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:36,660
other

12
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:40,290
however before you come down here you
have to put the fire out

13
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:45,500
on top bother you live if I did I is in
a minute change it by hand so I walked

14
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:49,370
in Milton crack some he does not make me
feel too confident about nomination as

15
00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:50,040
just dial

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,280
as far as good a you're going to the
first one and you're gonna

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,460
pointedly protection for the st. it's
important that you can't get it right

18
00:00:57,460 --> 00:00:58,850
because the rest the chain

19
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:01,989
relying on you to get into position to
protect them

20
00:01:01,989 --> 00:01:05,920
for the rest of our like make that y
donde so it's a real team Joe

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,180
a staff meeting Cheltenham

22
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:16,690
guidance from someone who

23
00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:19,740
global I'm lucky

24
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:23,720
I'll be using much more advance kit not
used by the Yorktown screw

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,970
Coral Sea but it's still a daunting task

26
00:01:26,970 --> 00:01:31,410
all have the chiro love spring a wall of
water to protect my teammates

27
00:01:31,410 --> 00:01:43,110
from the flames

28
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:44,560
we'd all been briefed in advance

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,790
so when you take up my position at the
door hey but I still didn't really know

30
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:56,249
what I was in for so

31
00:01:56,249 --> 00:01:58,840
on

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:14,980

gonna help

35
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:31,349
I my new would be an intense fire below
me in the engine room

36
00:02:31,349 --> 00:02:34,840
with the metal walls heating up all
around us would literally be descending

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:41,580
into an other

38
00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:44,550
men on the Yorktown would have faced a
similar challenges they

39
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:47,900
battle to save their ship

40
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:54,190

the thought of doing this for real

50
00:03:32,049 --> 00:03:35,780
to carry like the Yorktown loaded with
aviation fuel ammunition

51
00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:40,770
was terrifying

52
00:03:40,770 --> 00:03:44,730

true yeah ok results official American
for the far no one else is going to

I get on board a ship that's incredibly
powerful feeling you're on your own you

63
00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:34,910
could be

64
00:04:34,910 --> 00:04:39,280
you can be a hundred fifty miles from
London you're on your own usual train

65
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:47,680
gonna get down there they're going to
put out fire I things were no different

66
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,340
in the Battle of the Coral Sea

67
00:04:49,340 --> 00:04:52,320
back in 1942

68
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,850
although she'd been severely damaged
desperate work at the crew

69
00:04:55,850 --> 00:04:58,920
had saved the Yorktown in the coming
weeks

70
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,690
this would prove to be a crucial victory
the Yorktown would return to home

71
00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:08,610
the Japanese but in the meantime she
began a long slow journey back to power

72
00:05:08,610 --> 00:05:09,290
Harbor

73
00:05:09,290 --> 00:05:21,590
for repairs

74
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:25,110
the Battle of the Coral Sea was a
wake-up call

75
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:30,540
averell Yamamoto commander in chief of
the Imperial Japanese Navy im

76
00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:34,860
america's remaining carry ins stood
between him

77
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:38,480
and mastery of the Pacific it was time
but drastic

78
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,790
action america's carriers

79
00:05:41,790 --> 00:05:44,830
had to be destroyed they had alluded

80
00:05:44,830 --> 00:05:48,980
don't know show at Pearl Harbor he would
not let them escape again

81
00:05:48,980 --> 00:05:52,770
he decided to lay a trap he would target
something

82
00:05:52,770 --> 00:05:57,090
so valuable the Americans but they will
send out their carriers to protect it

83
00:05:57,090 --> 00:06:02,140
and the bait for his trap would be
Midway midway is in fact

84
00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:07,830
true tiny islands West upon why halfway
between America and Japan

85
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:11,540
it was one of the few American air bases

86
00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:15,220
left in the pacific Yamamoto's plan was
complex

87
00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:19,010
this involved the greatest naval fleet
the world

88
00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:23,330
ever seen the main part of Reed was
divided into three groups

89
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:27,820
your measure himself will be in a group
send around three big dumb

90
00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:31,290
battleships to the south another
worships

91
00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:35,650
carrying thousands of soldiers woodland
on Midway and take control

92
00:06:35,650 --> 00:06:38,900
but here was the spearhead the attack

93
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:41,979
a group of four aircraft carriers

94
00:06:41,979 --> 00:06:45,430
and the escort ships carrier Strike
Force

95
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:49,200
the 204th aircraft up these carriers

96
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,669
were given true critical tasks first
they were bombed the defense's on Midway

97
00:06:54,669 --> 00:06:59,120
ahead of a planned landing then they
would stage a huge

98
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,950
airstrike on the american carriers when
they came to Midway's rescue

99
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:07,360
on

100
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,360
leading the carrier Strike Force would
be vice admiral

101
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,510
shoe chain okubo on his flagship the Act

102
00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:18,840

commanded the attack on Pearl Harbor

00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,650
the groomer was a highly professional

at the Cooper would one small bpm he
reeled Japanese Navy

106
00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:36,270
to victory but his carefully laid plans

107
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:40,000
underestimated admiral minutes the
American commander

108
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,530
after pearl harbor

109
00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:50,150
the Americans had made military
intelligence a top priority

110
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:54,910
and it had paid off that japanese naval
code had been cracked

111
00:07:54,910 --> 00:07:58,160
here at the intelligence headquarters in
Pearl Harbor

112
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,570
the US Navy deciphered details have
given out as planned

113
00:08:02,570 --> 00:08:05,910
to set a trap at Midway with this
information

114
00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:08,930
nimitz now planned ambush of his own

115
00:08:08,930 --> 00:08:13,090
being

116
00:08:13,090 --> 00:08:16,190
limits now had three operational
carriers

117
00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:19,870
in Pearl Harbor the carriers USS
Enterprise

118
00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:23,830
and USS Hornet departed first then

119
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:27,160
the newly repaired USS Yorktown followed
on

120
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:32,400
a little way be hard

121
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,160
the three carriers headed from Hawai for
a spot code-named point

122
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,620
fuck 300 miles northeast of the American
base

123
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:44,670
on Broadway

124
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:48,709
by the second June they were in position
and mining in weight

125
00:08:48,709 --> 00:08:55,500
for the Japanese ships that we're
approaching from the north west

126
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,970
men should give his commanders a single
bolt objective

127
00:08:58,970 --> 00:09:02,760
to ambush the approaching Japanese
Street now heading for Midway

128
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,779
and strike a decisive blow it its
carriers

129
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:16,440
but these weren't the only preparations
admits was making

130
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,910
out in the middle of the Pacific the US
base at Midway

131
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:23,670
was buzzing with activity preparations
were underway

132
00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:27,720
flight after flights and planes have
been ran me over the last few days

133
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,870
and now a small airfield was packed with
as many planes that can handle

134
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:36,420
this place

135
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:40,020
would be vital in the defensive the
island so

136
00:09:40,020 --> 00:09:49,810
with the US Marines would be waiting for
the Japanese if they try to land

137
00:09:49,810 --> 00:09:52,900
by June with us the pilots the waiting
by the airplanes

138
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:54,870
the Marines and that bankers
