Came here to watch monstrous navy guns being reloaded….watched mostly missile launches 🤷♂️
Only battleships have ''Monstrous Ship Guns.''
loading 5 inch shells scary? Try the 18inch shells back in WW2, now that would be scary
Right? The amount of powder, just imagine a tiny spark. You'd be turned into pure carbon.
5 inch lol some WW2 vet is smoking a cigar and taking shots laughing 😂
As a battleship sailor I can't stop laughing at your describing pop guns as monstrous.
I’m no battle ship sailor , but I was thinking the same thing , hell we had in the army eight inch self propelled guns , if I remember they were the same as some cruisers carried
The rail gun was canceled over two years ago.
For railguns, maybe use ultra-high capacity capacitors as projectiles?
The thumb nail for the video shows them loading dummy rounds, completely inert shells. No boom boom.
lol "Monstrous"
Very good video. really admirable
Compared to a Mk.7 16" that little toy isn't even a cap gun.
Fantastic weaponry! 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Tamia looks like an oversized canister vacuum
The thing about the coast guard is that their ships don't really have the teeth to really guard the coast. They are the only branch of the military that are a purely defensive force. Their great against small threats and intruders but can they search and destroy an enemy sub or ship. I'm not asking for a coast guard aircraft carrier or a coast guard destroyer but the cutters should carry a handful of anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles. By the time the US retrofits it's cutters for such capabilities because of some future threat to the mainland, it would be too late.
You don't know if it will be too late. The coast guard role differs from the navy. The coast guard main roles is search and rescue and law enforcement and other NON combat operations. The coast guard doesn't need missiles for its job.
The Coast Guard did a hell of a job off the coast of Vietnam during the war.
Monstrous gun? I guess you have forgotten all about WWII battleships.
what about the 5-inch gun system!
Big, maybe. Monstrous, no.
The US Navy was established October 13, 1775 not 1798.
5:36 Now hold on there, 27 Nautical MAXIMUM range, effective ranges are roughly 10 or under.
If the DoD is to be believed, all government supported R&D into railguns was terminated several years ago and redirected into laser technologies.
That might or might not be the true picture of railgun technology since there's nothing preventing private R&D and to a large extent the technology had to be developed at least to the point of deploying the Ford class EM catapults (and might have been a reason the catapults took so long to deploy) and possibly the elevators on the same ship.
There will probably be a place for railguns in the future, there have been demonstrated capabilities of creating an artillery piece that can toss a projectile over 100 miles without propulsion built into the shell. IIRC currently ordinary 155mm rounds have a range up to about 25 miles and Excalibur rounds which implement GPS and aerodynamic fins for maneuverability and some lift can range up to 45 miles. Any current artillery that can be fired further use propellent assisted shells or rockets like MLRS and HIMARS.
I suspect that the US intentionally stops or pauses research in certain areas where potential adversaries (primarily Russia and China) already are deeply committed to research like hypersonics and EMF related weapons like railguns. Decisions are being made not to engage in open competition in these areas that could spur competition and perhaps theft of US technology. It's only when one country or more actually or likely demonstrate a working example of weapon using that technology that the US gears up and creates a weapon at least of same but usually superior technology like hypersonics. The US overall strategy is to demonstrate superior weapons capability and technology, not engage in a tit for tat weapons race.
bro guns on ships haven't been monstrous since battleships.....
Those are not monstrous. Battleship 16in and 18.1in are.
Ticonderoga Class Ships when reaced with new ships instead of mothballing them upgrade them as well as possible and give them to the Coast Guard and just make the Coast Guard bigger by adding them to the Coast Guard and make sure that our Coast Guard can handle about anything afloat and from the air just put two smaller vessels with a Ticonderoga and plus if we go to war you really want them on top of the game especially with firepower would really come in handy at times of war and could be deployed to fill gaps of lost ships to
No.
Need long range air defense
Curious, what becomes of spent shell casings? It seems I see much of them just falling to the water. 😢
They fall on deck in modern big guns and are basically just tossed over by the GM’s and FC’s. If you ask they will usually let you keep one. I had a 5” casing from a Burke but I left it onboard when I transferred. Most go in the water though.
It would be good to see a sinkex pitting the US Coast Guard against a civilian cargo vessel. Would the armament on a cutter be able to sink a cargo vessel intent on a terrorist attack quickly enough to stop it?
Guns on modern warships seem to be an after thought. It is apparent that the missile is the be all end all. But now simple drone boats are sinking Russian warships with relative ease. So now all Navy ships will have ot utilize a close in weapon system(s) to counter this threat. After all if the crew does not have the time to break out the 20mm and .50 calls the ship is defense less at close range. This technology is here and only a matter of time before it is used on our Navy.
'monstrous'? It's a 2 inch gun. It's tiny compared to the 155s on destroyers. Forget about the truly monstrous 16" guns on an Iowa or South Dakota class or the 18" Japanese battleship guns.
Compared to WW2 Battleships, guns on modern ships are pea shooters
Mann wer schreibt so einen scheiß wie beängstigender Prozess.
All of this technology is good for show but nothing is ever shown in actual combat. It's like cross your fingers and hope it really works. All the money is spent in control environments events. What ever happen to diplomacy. We love war is the main theme to justify a means to an end.
日本の軍艦以外には砲塔は無いんだろ??何をやっとるんじゃ!!海上警備の巡視船は砲塔無し!フワランクは付いてる様だがおもちゃだわ。そんなんで敵の艦船を沈められるかよ!!砲塔は無いなら、魚雷を搭載しろや。勿論、リモート出来る方が無駄が無くて良い!!着実に相手艦船に当るまで追跡してぶち当たれば良い!!
Scary😂😂😂 omg how stupid! I was in armor and handled 105mm or 5inch, and 120mm rounds depleted uranium in 91 and 04. We're trained and not SCARY😂. 23 plus years US Army 🇺🇸
Soooo... the R2D2 is loaded from on deck out of steel boxes? It appears that way to me anyway. In heavy fighting a couple sailors are just going to hop, skip and jump out there to feed that thing? And whats with the hand cranking everything? This is a "modern warship"? Terrible video. It does not inspire confidence it all sorry to say.
U.S. ship use much small calibers then their WW2 ships of the same class.😮
Correct, however modern day cannons are more accurate, and can hold more rounds and a much larger variety of rounds as well.
Higher velocity smaller projectiles can have as much power as older larger shells with more space efficiency. Think about .45 acp vs +P 9mm
