Battle of Savo Island 1942: America's Worst Naval Defeat

Описание: (Animated Battle Map)
This is a remake of one of my oldest videos. It needed much improvement on the animations and audio, and as you can see a lot more information was added as well.
If you came just for the battle, it starts at the 36 minute mark.

Corrections:
at 29:15 mark, it should have read "2353" not "2153". It was a mistake on my part.
at 39:27, I should have said "5.5 inch shell" not "6 inch shell".


If you are feeling nostalgic and want to see the old video, here it is unlisted. However beware of the Audio!! it's quite bad.    • Battle of Savo Island 1942: America's Wors...
