Awesome. Anyone finding this entertaining, may I recommend Drachinifel’s The Russian 2nd Pacific squadron - voyage of the Damned.

“The Kamchatka announced it was sinking, which lead to much rejoicing amongst the fleet.”

Drachinifel's content is amazing. In particular, I love his video on the sinking of HMS Hood [0], his videos on Jutland [1], and his way of working some humor into what he does as with the Kamchatka and the title on his video about surviving the sinking of a ship [2]. Have learned a ton from his channel and had a great time doing it!

Yeah, that one's much better! Also more historically accurate it seems, as many of the claims in the article seem to be of a rather dubious origin and may be little more than yarn.

And even more skepticism regarding the original article: https://uncommonsenseok.blogspot.com/2020/02/uss-william-d-p...

This should be on the front page, not the other one.

Also more humorous take on this clusterfuck of voyage by Bluejay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzGqp3R4Mx4

I enjoyed Spike Milligan’s biography of his time in the army. To put it mildly, it’s rather funny.
