I was a SPY-1 radar system engineer for Lockheed Martin, and during sea trials out of Bath Iron Works, we had to test all the weapons systems. We called this the "abandon ship" alarm.
@@jamiejones6994 Best job I ever had! Lockheed was a fantastic company to work for!! There were certainly some very stressful times, and times of dealing with some difficult people, but overall, I loved it!! Working on that level of technology was very gratifying. I do miss it, but I was able to retire at 54 years old, so I'll take retirement over a job any day!! 🙂
My mom's second husband worked for GE on the Aegis system. I went to Bath and Pascagoula a number of times with him. That launch process at Bath, with workers driving wedges under the ship, is pretty damn impressive.
Complete gun overhaul. Pulling everything, including the breach bolts, and greasing the fuck out of it all. The lock wire tool is much appreciated during this maintenance, though.
I was 6 feet away from a CIWS shooting towed targets when I was in the Navy. The noise is deafening to say the least, and the shock wave will rattle your teeth out of your skull!
I was an ET on Shreveport LPD12. Our aft mount on the 04 level was on top of the ET shop on the 03. That thing rattled our brains out when they'd shoot it. 😅
Better a million rounds to try to stop an incoming missile or fastboat loaded with explosives than 500 million in SGLI, burials, & trying to fund the VA & repair our battleship.
when there are enemy aircraft and missiles inbound on a known stable trajectory at your vessel you dang well better be able to put out a stream of bullets aimed and timed to stop them. That machine gun fails to stop the threat means a sunken ship and a large number of dead sailors. jus sayn
Actually it's designed for, but not only, firing against incoming missiles at multiple times the speed of sound. Gotta take it down otherwise everybody in the ship is in a bad scenario.
I used to live just inside the skin of the ship from one of these. Live fire exercises was always a good time. Military grade tinnitus you can count on. 😂
Lol this is the small version using the Vulcan cannon, which is the gun on the F-16 and F/A-18, the British navy uses the GAU-8 Avenger which is the gun found on the A-10
I was a work center supervisor for two of these mounts on USS Decatur, DDG-73. Seems like a whole different life but these nasty R2s with hardons will always be my babies.
Imagine having to send this back in the medieval age, the sound alone could literally make nobles and knights shit bricks enough to build a new kingdom.
No amount of money is worth a human life. For those complaining about the prohibitive cost of ammo, this gun system is necessary to protect the ship and the sailors therein .
Unless you've witnessed this thing in person, you can't begin to understand how loud it is. It will change you and the way you look at life. PTSD will be the least of your worries from then on.
If you are on the deck of a ship and this thing goes off, it will make you drop to the deck quicker than you ever thought you could, I KNOW! PURE POWER and AWESOMENESS!!
This is an impressive weapon, the Army has a land-based model protecting bases in the middle east when I was there. You always knew when they ran a scheduled or unscheduled firing.
There's a land version of this called the C-RAM for taking out rockets and artillery/mortars. It uses tracer ammunition that self-destructs so it doesnt rain down bullets on unintended targets
Can you feel the force from these things!?!? Like in your chest when they are firing and your nearby!?!? Amazing piece of technology...Humans are capable of such amazing things...If we ever cut out all the bs and really focus on our future as a race there would be no limits to what we accomplish!!!! 💯✌️

The price of ammo goes up every time I watch this.
The rounds are only a few hundred dollars a piece
@@troyellis4242 so a lowball estimate for this clip would be $75,000
4500 rounds from that 20 ml is like 150 grand bro. Reloading the machine isn't cheap.
@@anthonyweber156 Cheaper than losing the whole ship, one bad impact and you’re done.

I swear to God it would be so great and so terrifying to the enemy if that damn thing was painted to look like Homer Simpson

I've always wondered what the useful round count is on these components. Looks like you're cooking the barrels like crazy!
My phone just went from 86% to 65% by watching this clip
They must have needed to shed s little weight from the ship! There went 1,000 rounds.
