SteamWake · 04-12-07, 07:54 PM

Special on Discovery channel this comming friday.

"Destruction of the Japanise Navy"

Slated for 9pm EST.

Jungman · 04-12-07, 08:03 PM

Nice one to see! I just saw the destruction of the Yamato Battleship on Public Television (of all else) very good information last night. I wish they repat that one.

Thanks for the heads-up SteamWake, I'll set up the DVR!

Jungman, I saw the PBS show about the Yamato also, very interesting. Hard to believe that Japan spent so much money and resources building the mightiest battleship the world would ever see, and then she spent most of her time in port only to be sent out on a suicide mission doomed to fail before it even began.

Tommorow...

9pm..Discovery Channel... not listed here?

Is this the battle of Taffy 3, and the final sinking of the Yamato on Dogfights? If it is, it is a great story of 2 very gung-ho DD and DE captains. When I saw this it was on the History channel.

What date is this supposed to air on? I can't find anything like that on the Discovery Channel TV listing for the entire month. Was that the History Channel by any chance?
[Update]
Yeah, it is on the History Channel. It's an episode of Dogfights. Good show!

Thanks Richard & fidget, I had searched Discovery Channel listings and didn't find squat, not even on TitanTV.com. Had given up

Read your posts, checked History Channel, sure enough it's on at 9:00 EDT. Would have missed it without you guys

Would've liked to watched this. Unfortunately, Discovery is airing Doctor*Ology, here at 21:00 EST.

Flintlock, it's on History Channel, NOT Discovery. You've got 3 minutes before it starts, hope you read this in time!

Thanks for the heads-up! DVR is spinning

OddjobXL · 04-13-07, 08:42 PM

This is a good documentary! Thanks. Heh, there's a part of me that suspects if we actually saw a DE shooting the hell out of a cruiser, or a DD avoided fire from a whole fleet of Japanese ships in order to get a torpedo run in, in SH4 all the hardcores would be complaining about how unrealistic it was.

Drokkon · 04-13-07, 09:04 PM

Thanks for the heads up on this. It was a great show. It should show again a 12am april 14th 3 hours after it 9pm showing on the 13th.
