Your explanation of the BQR-21 sonar was not correct. You were describing the BQQ-4 sonar the operator was sitting in front of. It has the wheel. The console to the left of the operator is the BQR -21, it use a joystick to steer the bug to listen and has a waterfall display. Come on Sonarman….

Hot bunking on a multi-billion submarine in the 21st century is unacceptable and inexcusable.

"Anything you put in the water is trying to sink"......former marine mechanic.

I think the freedom class need a refit but other one maybe too complex to fix. They should refit ship to attack small attack craft. which are so small that it too expensive to take them out with missiles. so speed is important if this ship is fighting in guns range of small boats. If ship too slow then fast attack boat can out run you and stay out of gun range.

Piracy is the correct word.

The Burkes look old and outdated.

Just buy them from the Chinese. They have 8 of them in the water already at 900 million apiece. Give them 2 billion each, it still would be cheaper than building them here. Plus all the bugs been worked out. Bet you building them here will be a nightmare like the Littorals and Zumwalts.

Aww cool that missile thats failed miserably in the Ukraine will now be on US navy ships sweet 🙄

$1 billion for a frigate? And I thought that the Ford class carriers were expensive.

Are you going to do a vid on the bonefish

I unsubscribed from this channel because he put all the good videos behind a pay wall so why even subscribe LOL

Anytime the navy "thinks", it becomes dumber

If we want to break this down so that the everyday joe watching can understand in terms that make sense, its this. The employees did their job and management just did efectivly nothing.

FIN CANTIERI. Cantiere. Italian for shipyard or dockyard or worksite. Cantieri = plural of cantiere (can ti-eeeri). Good and factual documentary. Points out all the characteristic flaws that plague the US military-industrial-congressional complex (satirized in the Pentagon Wars).

As a comparison, a Type 055 costs $900M.

What happens when nuclear sub is lost, will they try to recover the reactor part at least, and if they can’t recover it, was there any type safety measures put in so would not have a melt down on seas floor? Or was reactor even big enough to cause a big issue if it were to melt down, or could it even melt down on sea floor? I assume it could.

Hey Jive! On the Off chance you're still in the chat on such a "old" video, I just a a mini epiphany. The Italian FREMM is 475 Ft, the Constellation is 495 Ft, the Flight 2 Burke is 510 Ft. They ALL have a with of 65 Ft. The Fremm Comes with a bow mounted sonar. SO, For the Constipation, Keep the FREMM hull / internals AS IS, then Stretch it to 510 Ft, ( add a internal racquetball court or something ) And drip the superstructure of a Flight 2 Burke on it? Yes, you need to make things line up, But Steel is cheap, and Air is free, it's the systems that are expensive. This simplifies the design process, and Triples the VLS. Or, if you can't stretch it, lose the forward VLS, and you still have the aft 64 pack of VLS between the helo hangers. Served on Burk's, Tyco's and Perry's. Thanks for your time.

XXI Russia is not very different than XII century Russia.

I get it. The problem with white old guys like Lochridge is that they want a lot of money and if things aren't going right they gonna whistleblow. 👍

Russia is WELL known to have "killer" technology on paper. Its also well known to have their hi tech weapons unable to be deployed/perform as designed for various reasons and quick revert to their mass produced 60-70 yo stock.

I thought the Russian theory involved an unexpected Soviet exercise (possible trap) that they were redirected to observe before coming home. Then a Helo from one of the Soviet ships dropped a torpedo on them. May they rest in peace. I know I have read of the families waiting for hours past the expected arrival at the port to greet them. I hope they can have some peace now that she has been found

From the Zumwalt to the LCS to the FFGx, is the US Navy even able to float a fuckin rowboat without a bil dollar outlay?

Mr. Narrator I have an issue with you saying that rush is behind you are so d*** Bias

Great job!

It is a rant, but a completely valid one - makes your blood boil at the incompetence and waste leading to massive cost and time overruns. Looks like the US Navy is guilty here of the same thing our Aussie Navy has been chastised for in the recent Defence Strategic Review (DSR) - needing a ship design quickly, a valid design already exists but let's make heaps of unnecessary changes trying to make an "exquisite design" rather than get something useful in the water to fill a gap and maybe upgrade it later (ensuring there is space/capacity for upgrading of course).

Cheers from AU Chief.⚓

Looks like the Bradley of the sea.

All the weapon is is a nuclear war head torpedo, that they detonate under water which is to cause a giant tidal wave of pretty much radioactive water. Every big country have been trying to create weapons to control weather

Seeing lots of comments about China as if they are a threat. China is not a threat to America. China is a threat to the Taiwanese government. America .... correction... the American government and military industrial complex will insert itself between Taiwan and China in order to make war in order to milk the American tax payer even more. You think the price of groceries is bad now, just wait. It's going to get worse before it gets worse.

'Always on watch'

The USS Arkansas, CGN-41, did have a helo hanger. The metal plates covering the elevator would fold up like an accordion, then the elevator would rise to be even with the deck. Then it was ready for the helicopter to land. Also, I believe that the DLGN stands for Destroyer Leader Guided Missle Nuclear.

I have a question about the technical brief that you gave at the beginning. You said that these early towed arrays had to be mounted and removed by a tug and they couldn't be retracted by the sub in the field. What was procedure if the sub had to go evasive? Was the towed array cut, or could it handle top speed maneuvers?

8:20 -- RE: 5,500 Equivalent Full Power Hours; Well heck, quick maths demonstration time! 1 Day = 24 hours, 5 Days = 120 Hours, and 5 Days x 73 = 365. Thus 73 x 120 = Hours In a Year, plus 6. So the Core needs refueling at least once a year, eh?

5:15 -- RE: Tugboat and Diver attach the Towed Array; OMG, I never would have guessed that the towed array didn't start out as a piece of equipment that was somehow contained and deployed by the submarine itself. And yeah, I caught on quick that it also means once connected it stayed deployed until the mission was over or an emergency situation demanded cutting it loose. Question! Could the OG towed array be detached while at sea by physically cutting it with explosive bolts and a detonator switch? Or would the sub need to deploy a diver to do that, too?

I remember reading that the early theory about the Scorpion turning around was based on incorrect distance calculations from SOSUS. They showed her heading straight back to the US at a steady pace, then something happened, and then it started going exactly 180 degrees from its previous course, eventually imploding. Apparently those early calculations forgot to compensate for how the speed of sound changes with pressure. When re-calculated properly, the ship continued straight towards the US the whole time. The event occurred, and then the Scorpion slowly sank to crush depth (still going straight), and then imploded. This suggests that whatever the event was, it disabled a significant portion of the ship's control team. A few years ago as part of its routine visits to the wreck, the Navy recovered pieces of the ship's battery that indicated a violent explosion in the battery well. While that isn't enough evidence to determine failed TDU vs hydrogen buildup theory, it certainly is enough to disprove the hot-run torpedo theory and the torpedo tube fire theory. Although those are (now) clearly not the actual cause of the Scorpion's loss, they were real problems back then and the Navy did take action to mitigate those risks.

Do the Chinese have VTOL aircraft? I’m pretty sure they just have helicopters.

What is the difference between an attack and a search periscope??

Hey, I hope everything‘s going good. You sound a little sad in this video a God bless what you do and I just want you to know I look forward to watching yours and H I Sutons videos. I love your work.

Thresher was lost in April of 1963.

Dude, this boat sank before half the equipment you listed even existed.

Don't think. PLAN can maintain a massive fleet

slides made me think this was a perun video haha

This ship should never have been allowed anywhere near a war zone. Its upkeep was terrible and the crew didn't take care of the ship. The communication systems interfered with anti ship missile radar. So they would shut it down. The ship was also in a terrible physical state.The crew was mainly conscripts. They were so poorly paid. They were constantly steal things off the ship. Even the fire extinguishers had to be locked up, to their prevent theft. The conscripts would sell them in town, because they were top quality. The whole ship was like this. Their are pictures of missing and broken railings on outboard sides. This is very basic safety, which the crew could do, but wasn't done. Preventing people from falling overboard, is as basic as it gets. What a joke! The ship was doomed and I think the Ukrainians knew its state.

Another great video. You mentioned BPS radars were referred to as "BEEPS", well, the WLR ESM systems were referred to as "WHIRLEY".

If the malfunctioning sub was still in the torpedo tube, they wouldn’t need SOSUS.

I’m so glad the navy saved money by canceling the zumwalts and then wasting billions on 2 more ship classes and still just having the burkes supporting the fleet

Thresher sank on 10th of Apr. 1963 (NOT 1962!) ♍

The RCN took HMS Olympus for a trainer and HMS Osiris for parts.We used the stern tubes for beer stores.
