World of Warships: Clash of Titans

On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, prompting the U.S. to retaliate at Midway in 1942. Aircraft carriers became key to U.S. victories across the Pacific.

In May 1941, the British Royal Navy relentlessly pursued the formidable battleship Bismarck with the mission to sink it at any cost.

In 1945, the giant battleship Yamato sailed to Okinawa to halt U.S. landings. American naval aviation destroyed it, marking a decisive shift in WWII naval warfare.

WWII saw the rise of submarines, leading to intense battles. German subs revolutionized naval warfare, paving the way for modern submarines.

On D-Day in June 1944, the USS TEXAS was called on to help silence batteries of German artillery and gun positions defending the landing beaches and the port city of Cherbourg.

In 1905, Japan ambushed Russia's fleet at Tsushima, sinking or capturing nearly every ship. This decisive battle ended the Russo-Japanese War and marked a turning point in history.

On July 3, 1940, Britain attacked French ships at Mers el-Kébir to prevent German control. Over 1,300 died, and Churchill defended this tragic but strategic WWII decision.
