It’s mind blowing that nearly 400 men survived the HMS Barham exploding during WW2. The British battleship was sunk by German submarine U-331 in 1941.

HMS Barham The Queen Elizabeth-class battleship HMS Barham served the Royal Navy through two world wars before being sunk by the German submarine U-331. In December 1939, it was torpedoed by U-30 but was repaired and returned to service. On 25 November 1941, in the Mediterranean off the Egyptian coast, it was hit by three torpedoes from U-331. A magazine explosion caused the ship to capsize and blow up within minutes. Of the roughly 1,184 crew, 862 were killed. The sinking was filmed by a cameraman aboard its sister ship, HMS Valiant.

The British bouncing bomb. The goal was to develop a weapon that skipped over water and breach German dams during WW2. It was used successfully. Here it is being tested for spin, speed, and release height.

US "Amazon" variant of the British "Grand Slam" earthquake bomb dropped by B-29s on reinforced U-boat pens in Germany during post-war trials full clip: The Valentin submarine pens are a reinforced concrete facility on the Weser River at the Bremen suburb of Rekum, built to protect German U-boats during World War II. The factory was under construction from 1943 to March 1945 using forced labor, but was damaged by air-raids and unfinished by the end of the war. The Valentin factory was the largest fortified U-boat facility in Germany, and was second only to those built at Brest in France. After the war, the facility was used as a target for Project Ruby, a series of joint British and American tests to determine the viability of various munitions against reinforced concrete targets. It had been hit by British "Tallboy" and "Grand Slam" earthquake bombs during a raid on March 27th 1945 and one of the weapons tested in 1947 was "Amazon", the US variant of the 22,000 lb "Grand Slam" that weighed in at 25,000 lbs and was dropped by B-29 Superfortress bombers flying from RAF Marham in England. Fifteen such inert bombs were dropped from 17,000 feet and of these two hits were obtained on the thinner roof section that was approximately 15 feet thick. #grandslam #barneswallis #bunkerbuster #earthquakebomb #ww2 #wwii

The British bouncing bomb test aimed to perfect a weapon that skipped over water to breach German dams in WWII. Developed by Barnes Wallis, it was tested for spin, speed, and release height. In this test, the bomb nearly hits the cameraman.
