My Youtube Video: The Balaclava of the Sea - Battle of Hong Kong - Surprise attack by Royal Navy's Motor Torpedo Boats

Please visit my youtube video about the Royal Navy's Surprise Motor Torpedo Attack on Japanese landing crafts during the Battle of Hong Kong:

This is my first attempt on making a video on military subject. So it may not be as good as those made by other youtubers but I put a lot of efforts on making the video.This is an extraordinary operation during the Battle of Hong Kong in World War Two, but unfortunately this is rather little-known. I hope by making this video more people will get to know more about this story.

10 years ago I have studied the logs and made a battle map of MTB 07 & 09 attacking the Japanese landing crafts in HK's Victoria Habour. www.flickr.com/photos/acstudio/4063921560/in/album-721576...
I believe The Osprey's Battle of Hong Kong book's map of the same attack actually referenced mine because it also incorporated my intentional mistake.

I never forgotten this story and recently I studied and read the logs again. Inspired by Youtuber such as Mark Felton, I decided to make a video about this attack. Further research led me to discover the fate of one of the lost MTB in a Japanese video filmed after HK surrendered, which is also shown in my video.
