• The Wreck That Saved America From a Massive Radioactive Attack
    June 23, 1944. In the darkness of the mid-Atlantic, 850 nautical miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, the Japanese submarine I-52 slices through the water. The 356-foot vessel, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Kameo Uno, carries a cargo set to alter the course of the war.

    I-52's cavernous hold contains 2.2 tons of gold bars, payment for Nazi Germany's most advanced technology. More crucially, 1,700 pounds of uranium oxide lie in wait - the potential core of a dirty bomb. War secrets, cutting-edge radar equipment, and even an Enigma machine complete the precious cargo, all destined to unlock German military innovation.

    Near midnight, an American airman aboard a Grumman TBF-1C Avenger detects a surface contact on his half-functional radar. Lieutenant Commander Jesse D. Taylor, piloting the lead aircraft, responds immediately. Flares burst from his Avenger, bathing the ocean below in harsh light.

    Caught in the sudden illumination, I-52 plunges beneath the waves. Taylor dives, unleashing a barrage of depth charges that explode off the submarine's starboard side. As the crew of I-52 fights to control their descent, Taylor circles overhead, preparing to deploy one more weapon - a cutting-edge device to seal the submarine's fate…

  • New U.S. Bomb Can Turn Any Chinese Ship into a Submarine
    If tensions rise in the Indo-Pacific, the U.S. Navy's priority will be how to neutralize a Chinese aircraft carrier quickly. Enter "Quicksink," a revolutionary weapon demonstrated at RIMPAC 2024. This cutting-edge bomb, launched from the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, sank a massive 39,000-ton ship in minutes, all without human guidance. In this video, we dive into the surprising technology and strategies behind Quicksink and its potential to shift the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific region.

  • The Most Catastrophic Russian Battleship Disaster Ever
    In the early hours of June 26, 1940, NMS Delfinul, a Romanian submarine, set alarms blazing after the sighting of 5 large warships heading for the Port of Constanța, a major strategic target on the western shores of the Black Sea.

    Romania had just joined the Nazis and attacked Soviet airfields, destroying 37 bombers in one mission. The Soviet Black Sea Fleet was now on the hunt for revenge.

    Constanța was robustly defended by Romanian anti-air artillery units, a detachment of 700 German Kriegsmarine manning the powerful Tirpitz gun battery, destroyers, and gunboats along the coast, and 1,000 mines had been laid in the sea covering any point of entry.

    A first wave of Soviet bombers attempted a run at Constanța but were unsuccessful. At 3:58am, the destroyer leaders Moskva and Kharkov carpeted the port with 350 shells in less than ten minutes.

    With the raid in full force, a second wave of Soviet bombers descended again on the scene. It was then that pilot Horia Agarici of the Royal Romanian Air Force took to the skies in one of the most bizarre of aircraft to ever fight for the Axis side. It was a British Hawker Hurricane, and the Soviets would be forbidden from revealing what happened next…

  • When Kamikaze Submarines Attacked the US
    It's November 20th, 1944 and Lieutenant Sekio Nishina is at the helm of a new secret weapon. The Kaiten. It's a small and fast submersible built around a torpedo. But there's a catch. It's a one-way mission. Nishina and 3 other 'underwater Kamikaze' pilots closed in on the lagoon entrance of Ulithi atoll which serves as one of the biggest forward anchorages of the US Navy. These desperate men are trying to stop the US advance towards the Japanese home islands. Kaiten means 'Turning the Heaven'. Will the sacrifice of best and brightest young Kaiten pilots turn the will of Heaven and change fate of Empire of Japan?
