Shipwrecks Missing Bows– Twisted, Blasted, Broken

For as much of a meme as 'ships losing bows' is in the naval history community, relatively few wrecks show this. Not counting wrecks like Helena or Juneau that were blown into multiple pieces, of course. Partially, this is because American cruisers often survived losing their bows. It's also partially down to a limited selection of wrecks. Regardless, in today's video, we'll be looking at a handful of examples. Comparing the damage and how this happened to the ships. To both American and Japanese ships, in this case.
