@M VB I normally don't correct peoples grammar, but considering that the rest of your comment is profoundly stupid it only makes sense to point out that it's spelled "Disgusting".
Here’s one other point CNBC forgot to mention about Diesel/Electric subs. It’s not just a matter of their range and time on station issues they don’t have the speed to chase down most surface combatants or a carrier battle group. Moreover, the faster they (D/E subs) attempt to go the easier they are to detect. Nor do they have same space available for bigger and better sensor packages that nuclear submarines have.
Keep in mind, the US Navy leased that same Gotland class submarine for over a year, constantly running war games with it. They learned everything there is to learn about diesel electric subs, how to track them, hunt them down, and destroy them. The US Navy is well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of every class of submarine on the planet. If they felt they needed a diesel electric submarine, trust me, they would have some.
@@hkamensky2 You might be surprised but I DID join the service. It doesn't matter in this context, not even if I had been a Commander. Facts matter and you're missing the point.
I just toured the USS Albacore and that was so cool. It was a test vessel where they constantly were testing new tech and new ideas on a sub. And they have some cool stories from the crew like almost getting stuck, lights going black in the middle of a speed Run.

Ehh thats not nearly as bad as the end of the intermediate ballistic missile treaty. Even with nuclear drone torpedoes the calculus of mutually assured destruction is mostly the same. And there is little risk for a non attack to be mistaken for an attack. The end of the intermediate ballistic missile treaty vastly raises the odds that a non nuclear attack will be accidentally be considered a real one or that someone will get it in their heads that a nuclear war could actually be won.
@@peterisawesomeplease Not exactly in the cold war russia had an incident where due to programing error it showed 9999 missile were heading towards them and the computer was telling to retaliate it was the decision of the commanding officer common sense that we avoided a nuclear war.

@@anandisrocking007 Oh I agree that humans should be in a loop. The problem is intermediate range missiles which used to be banned encourage removing the person unlike long range ones.
i have a question: with new extensive underwater worldwide survey going on, where we will have unprecedented access of undersea terrain, will the role of submarine as a stealth weapon decrease?
The US submarine force is simply terrifying. And I say this as an American; I can only imagine what people in nations that are hostile to America must think. There is no way the US Navy will neglect their subs.
US Navy's submarine fleet is THE crucial part of the service and the only part of the service that shouldn't spare any cost for an R&D or the number of deployed vessels. If the cost of the fleet becomes unsustainable, the Navy has to cut else where cause the subs are too valuable to endure cutbacks, weather in development of the next generation of vessels or in a total number of deployed subs. And when I say Navy should cut anywhere else, I mean just that. Even the Congress law mandated 11 aircraft carriers should be on the table. Although our aircraft carriers are the pinnacle of US power projection and have been for the last 70 years, they won't be as important as submarines in the unthinkable case of a major war against a near peer power. Our submarine technology is second to none. Although some of the overmatch we had over our adversaries has eroded when we were bogged down in a counterinsurgency warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq, and our enemies had time to catch up, submarine tech has stayed on the cutting edge of capability, stealth, sensors and other classified technology that is installed in them.. We are in the process of building the new Columbia class nuclear ballistic missile submarines to replace the Ohio class but we're also in the opening stages of developing a next gen SSG(N), better known as the Virginia class submarine replacement, which will be more akin to the Seawolf class of the late Cold War than to Virginia class. Virginias are incredibly capable subs but they were mostly developed for the littoral water warfare, spying and executing land attack missions with their Tomahawk missiles. SSN(X) will be more of the deep diving hunter killers capable of destroying the best that the Russians or Chinese can throw at us. Times are changing and once again we have to stay vigilant, together with our friends and allies, against the adversaries that won't have any moral doubts in exploiting our weakness or a perceived lack of vigilance. Submarines are best for that task. Especially US submarines that are superior to anything sailing in the depths of the world's oceans.
Americans: Can we have affordable healthcare ? Government: Sorry, healthcare machine broke. Best I can give you are those shiny tubes of death that go underwater Americans: Please, we are dyin... Military: Haha, torpedoes go vziouuum
This would be true for other countries where the military has power and control over the country. But in the US, it is the politicians that responsible for this. US could spend significantly less and focus on protecting the North America. But they don't because the privately controlled military industry made up of manufacturers and suppliers spread out in every state of the US; likes wars so they can sell more.
Do you not understand the point of nuclear submarines? they are deterrent from getting nuked because if another country were to obliterate the U.S, these subs could still retaliate, making sure mutually assured destruction still takes place. I'm fine with tax dollars going towards these if they prevent us from getting nuked, no?
depends on the political situation but Philippines can be a problem as the Philippines is basically a rope being pulled by both china and usa so sending subs there can be disastrous if there's a political disagreement or sabotage
That’s fine, but misses the point. The US wants to operate surface ships near China, where they’re at risk from Chinese subs. More US subs in the area would be of only limited help.
@@mebsrea The odds are against a sub vs a surface ship head to head. One ping and they know where that sub is . Ships also have homing torpedoes. You can abandon a surface ship you can't from a submarine.

Submarines are cheap when you look at the number of missions they can perform. Every government weapons program cost more than the last due to inflation.
I see a bigger problem for the USA and that is parts . There are way too many systems in our ships, submarines, and aircraft that come from overseas vendors. Look at what has happened to car companies waiting for chips from another country. What a way to defend a country! I saw it many times during a 43 year career in the defense department and every time I raised this issue, it was brushed aside. I was on a ship in 1978 that had system that was controlled by Navair regulations and I could not work on the equipment because I had not been to school. If the ship had this system installed it could land and launch helicopters as long as the system was working. If the system went down, no helicopter landing or launching. Navair sent a factory trained mechanic to fix it. When, after three different port visits and the mechanic working on it in each port could not fix it, I asked to look at it. In a few hours I had it working perfectly. Regulations are put into place to help us, but sometimes they tie our hands. This is a weak point that needs to be addressed. Competition between different branches can do a lot of harm.
I totally agree and I believe that the US should open more chip production factories in the US under national budget. In 20 years when our jobs are replaced by the artificial intelligence that eats chips, we need those chip productions to stay safe to keep the AI running, so our GDP can stay in the way it is.
After the first couple of Columbia class SSBNs are in active service and related design revisions have been identified for follow-on production, the production rate should be ramped up and SSGN variants should be added.
Ok, hulls are at the end of their life , reactors are running out of useable fuel and internal fittings are old and need replacement ( that’s a serious challenge on a boat 170 meters long ! ) Cheaper to build new than refurbish old Stop screaming absolute nonsense !
if you want to do a piece on US submarines, find someone who knows something about them. there is so much wrong in this video, I don't know where to start.
Sustaining a world-class military is insanely expensive, surprisingly. Especially when the house of cards is held up by private businesses who can afford to overcharge the military on absolutely everything because there are so few competitors in the industry.
It is a competition. It is a rivalry. It inherently is. Only so many dollars go into the Defense Dept budget. Every dollar in the Navy is one less for the other branches.
Look at all these sophisticated electronic gadgets and arsenal inside a submarine, the dangerous environment it live, the time it needs to build, a submarine will need at least several B $$$ to own. It is not a weapon 4 any cheap stake country.. 🤔🤔
Interesting and worthwhile video. Unbeknownst to most analysts,, China is making amazing advances in stealthy submarines that could take out a carrier and perform other threatening operations.
This is stuff we should be talking about everyday on mainstream news. Not the crap we normally talk about. Not the crap we talk about everyday on a stupid news.
U.S. have 68 submarines that not a crises in The Nuclear Missiles defense Triad.The Navy just replaces those submarines that are more than 30 years olds that all.
Are huge relatively slow Aircraft Carriers really still practical? It seems that missile development has almost guaranteed that they can quickly take Carriers out, unless there's something I don't understand. From a Layman's POV It seems more productive to spend our Military money on Subs.
It really shows you where the American policy is going. They have a growing homeless problem yet they spend nearly 4 billion dollars a submarine and they intend to build 4 of these a year. So disappointing really
Yeah how dare they protect their citizens and our way of life with a fraction of the US budget! We should end the military so we can become slaves for China
@@JORDYBEST12 as a percentage of GDP it’s actually lower and personally I think we should increase wages and benefits for soldiers but I guess your opposed to that
Having worked on subs and ships of the USN for 50 years, I'd keep right with God if I were you.Stupid is as stupid does and there is nothing sailor proof.I repaired systems that hadn't worked from the time the vessel left the shipyard that built it 20 years from the time it left.Not complex stuff but conveyors and generators and controllers. Stuff that I was trained to repair in EM "A" School while I was serving in the Navy but the shops can't do it now. So what else can the sailors not fix today? I have retired now but I've no doubt that things have gotten worse since I retired 8 years ago. The average time it takes to get a carrier out of the yards on a refit and repair has went from 11 months to 4 years.I would go down main passageways on the ships and see all the transformers and other electrical equipment choked with dust in the vent grids. I shudder to think how bad the controllers are as they have moving parts unlike transformers. The line voltage regulators were catching on fire on lots of ships when I retired and they supply the missile launchers and combat stations for the aircraft.Many of the ships were no longer water tight as the mct's had the blocks drilled out by the sailors to pull cable thru or the stuffing tubes were rotted and falling over on the weather decks.Maintenance is no longer a priority so no matter how many new ships they build if half the systems are none functioning how can they accomplish the mission? Hire some more minorities and womenf and see how that works out for you. 50 years and I only had 3 minorities who could learn and do the work.2 of them were Filipinos and one was black. I had women apprentices who told me they didn't have to do the work because they were going to be bosses.When I reported them for not doing what was required of them to have me sign off on their work cards they sent them to another mechanic and told me they were a protected class.I asked: If a system like steering has lost power how is woman being a protected class going to keep the ship from running into another ship or aground? We as a country are screwed if our military has this type of force to protect us.
B-52's should have been retired decades ago, but they will be working far into the future. Same thing with Navy vessels - with will power, when they simply put their hand out and say give me a new ship, it means they are spoiled.
@@nickl5658 because... nukes are an endgame weapon! but a stealthy carrier, delivering remote controlled recon & attack craft to enemy shores?!, thats something they could use in pretty much every engagement!
I feel building new subs is very important. Keeping our country safe is #1. If we need to build new ships. Let's get at it. We need to be at top rate for protection. Putting it off will only put our country at a position of being unable to protect America at full force. This is a large country. With enormous amounts of peoplle to keep safe.

@@acceptablecasualty5319 wouldn’t say it smells bad. Just has a distinct smell to it
FOR GODS SAKE!!! Do NOT SCRAP the ‘Aging’ US Subs!!! FULLY refurbish them and Put them in dry storage!
Ok, hulls are at the end of their life , reactors are running out of useable fuel and internal fittings are old and need replacement ( that’s a serious challenge on a boat 170 meters long ! )
Cheaper to build new than refurbish old
Stop screaming absolute nonsense !
Better and cheaper to build a new one
100 billion for an entire submarine program? Peanuts! What did Irak cost? 1 Trillion?
The Indonesian sub disaster really put other countries old submarines into consideration.
GO NAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work shipmates!!!
I'm wondering if the Gotland class subs had to contend with underwater mines in those war games.
6:40 Let me just say there's a reason we say there's 2 types of vessels, Submarines and targets
This guy looks like a nerdy version of John Cena.
USN Ballistic missile Subs are still from 1970s-80s built
if you want to do a piece on US submarines, find someone who knows something about them. there is so much wrong in this video, I don't know where to start.
Really liked the Umbrella Movement sign 🔥
Why is the b-roll clip at 8:25 playing backwards??
why doesn't the US shrink it's navy to stay close to the US?
Create more small, remote controlled unmanned subs. Drones under the sea.
You need to be able to communicate with unmanned subs, which will be difficult because of depth and difference in salinity in the water.
The sub would have to make decisions on its own.
I have never seen so many ads on such a short YT video. Perhaps sponsor the navy with YT ads...
9:10 - what happens when your statement is so full of word salad that nobody realizes it isn’t a complete sentence
8:05 I used to live in the left tower
2:43 "they have been underfunded" LMFAO
You can never pay too much for second strike abilities.
They honestly have been
Sustaining a world-class military is insanely expensive, surprisingly. Especially when the house of cards is held up by private businesses who can afford to overcharge the military on absolutely everything because there are so few competitors in the industry.
@@Epistolary8 well that’s an issue of lobbying
It is a competition. It is a rivalry. It inherently is. Only so many dollars go into the Defense Dept budget. Every dollar in the Navy is one less for the other branches.
The Navy doesn't have boats, they have ships
Look at all these sophisticated electronic gadgets and arsenal inside a submarine, the dangerous environment it live, the time it needs to build, a submarine will need at least several B $$$ to own. It is not a weapon 4 any cheap stake country.. 🤔🤔
Interesting and worthwhile video.
Unbeknownst to most analysts,, China is making amazing advances in stealthy submarines that could take out a carrier and perform other threatening operations.
This is stuff we should be talking about everyday on mainstream news. Not the crap we normally talk about. Not the crap we talk about everyday on a stupid news.
U.S. have 68 submarines that not a crises in The Nuclear Missiles defense Triad.The Navy just replaces those submarines that are more than 30 years olds that all.
Are huge relatively slow Aircraft Carriers really still practical? It seems that missile development has almost guaranteed that they can quickly take Carriers out, unless there's something I don't understand. From a Layman's POV It seems more productive to spend our Military money on Subs.
Just print up the money it's all good don't worry about it
Did that guy really say that the US Navy has been underfunded?????
Ole bucko at 1:33 needs to learn what size wrench to use
Lmao didn't even notice that, or he needs to get a screw wrench
5:00 covered the webcam with a sticker 😁😂🕵️♂️🤳📷
It's not expensive, it's inflation.
It really shows you where the American policy is going. They have a growing homeless problem yet they spend nearly 4 billion dollars a submarine and they intend to build 4 of these a year. So disappointing really
Yeah how dare they protect their citizens and our way of life with a fraction of the US budget! We should end the military so we can become slaves for China
@@kurtwagner350 but the US is spending more on the military then the next 10 countrys combined. Why do they feel the need to spend more?
@@JORDYBEST12 as a percentage of GDP it’s actually lower and personally I think we should increase wages and benefits for soldiers but I guess your opposed to that
There is a difference between Boat and Ship dear CNBC
Having worked on subs and ships of the USN for 50 years, I'd keep right with God if I were you.Stupid is as stupid does and there is nothing sailor proof.I repaired systems that hadn't worked from the time the vessel left the shipyard that built it 20 years from the time it left.Not complex stuff but conveyors and generators and controllers. Stuff that I was trained to repair in EM "A" School while I was serving in the Navy but the shops can't do it now. So what else can the sailors not fix today? I have retired now but I've no doubt that things have gotten worse since I retired 8 years ago. The average time it takes to get a carrier out of the yards on a refit and repair has went from 11 months to 4 years.I would go down main passageways on the ships and see all the transformers and other electrical equipment choked with dust in the vent grids. I shudder to think how bad the controllers are as they have moving parts unlike transformers. The line voltage regulators were catching on fire on lots of ships when I retired and they supply the missile launchers and combat stations for the aircraft.Many of the ships were no longer water tight as the mct's had the blocks drilled out by the sailors to pull cable thru or the stuffing tubes were rotted and falling over on the weather decks.Maintenance is no longer a priority so no matter how many new ships they build if half the systems are none functioning how can they accomplish the mission? Hire some more minorities and womenf and see how that works out for you. 50 years and I only had 3 minorities who could learn and do the work.2 of them were Filipinos and one was black. I had women apprentices who told me they didn't have to do the work because they were going to be bosses.When I reported them for not doing what was required of them to have me sign off on their work cards they sent them to another mechanic and told me they were a protected class.I asked: If a system like steering has lost power how is woman being a protected class going to keep the ship from running into another ship or aground? We as a country are screwed if our military has this type of force to protect us.
that guy has a strange mix of American and British accents 🤔
Man Blake really looks like a CHAD
9:43 i don't agree with that
B-52's should have been retired decades ago, but they will be working far into the future. Same thing with Navy vessels - with will power, when they simply put their hand out and say give me a new ship, it means they are spoiled.
a diesal sub can travel just as far as a nuclear sub the difference is that a diesal sub can't stay out for months under water.
Submarines as DroneCarriers would be nasty!
I-400 2.0
haha... Submarines a nuke carriers. Why pesky drone?
@@nickl5658 because... nukes are an endgame weapon!
but a stealthy carrier, delivering remote controlled recon & attack craft to enemy shores?!, thats something they could use in pretty much every engagement!
That's a lie...they don't take over $3billion and 7 yrs to build a Virginia class sub....
Because of exorbitant price, messy tags attached and the attitude, friendly huge market like India is moving away to EU, straight from Russia. Sad.
The security of the USA depends on the strength of Navy and Air Force, not by Army noe Marine. Thw dwfwnsw budget should reflect this.
I feel building new subs is very important. Keeping our country safe is #1. If we need to build new ships. Let's get at it. We need to be at top rate for protection. Putting it off will only put our country at a position of being unable to protect America at full force. This is a large country. With enormous amounts of peoplle to keep safe.
1:22 What is the guy in front of submarine doing?
You lost my interest when you brought China into the video about AMERICAN submarines.
I knew as soon as I scrolled down to the comments there would be people crying out against this, claiming the money would be better spent elsewhere. Weird how people don't realize the importance of a strong military.
Except the military must be strong in the correct way or it is useless.
Agreed. They should tax your household 90% to fund the military. USA! USA!
How about solve the bedbug issue at first? Poor service man. What they have to endure...
Here it goes your health care!
Look up U boat 202 of the German Navy.
How are the shipyards underfunded when billions and billions are funneled into them every single year? Where's the money going?
Bureaucrats
R&D, being on the bleeding edge has its down sides
@@konigstiger3252 that is certainly true, I suspect most of the 108 billion for these subs will go to R&D and maybe 15 will go to building the subs themselves
Elon musk.
@@kurtwagner350 Well don't forget the mandatory bribes. Did I say bribes? I meant campaign contributions. That's why F35 despite having a terrible track record and huge cost overruns continue to be built. If you build a part in every congressional district your crappy project never dies.
Always loved Sweden military technology, & their military engineering, they are a force to reckon with, they are just quietly letting everyone else think that they are irrelevant, but I hey have so great military hardware...✈️🛩️🎇🔥
Honest question - At 52 seconds into the video, confused/wonder why they are talking about submarines and showing an image of an airplane cockpit. 🤔
That’s inside a plane that was looking for the missing submarine
Search Party for the Indonesian Sub maybe?
Some of these comments when I scroll down are the funniest and most uninformed things I have read.
cuz theyre gettin better n better
Nice video.
:52 Blake Herzinger must be related to John Cena.
Me: hanging around
CNBC: *WAKE UP!!! EVERYTHING ON US ARMED FORCES IS A FAILURE*
What is that background music in the first 1 min 30 seconds???
I'm a Bomber submariners. These platforms are on their last legs, everything is broken on these things, and extreamly mentally taxing to maintain and operate.
With spelling like that how did they let you on lol
Why not just use conventional submarines along with drone companion vessels, with some drones specialised for fuel tanker duty.
Virginia Class Submarine cost $1.7 Billion to make
Ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Sorry, who are we at war with?
Problem with war machines is by the time you do need them it is too late. That is why the government is not going to sacrifice the spending and for good reason.
Who AREN'T we at war with? LOL
@@kronikinsomniak We spend FAR more than anyone else on the military. We spend three times as much as China, the second-highest.
If other countries spent more than us, I'd see your point. But the US is unique in this regard.
Not too bright are ya. Were not at war because of the fact that we are the strongest military in the world.
@@prestonjensen6172 China is set to overtake the US both economically and militarily sometime this century most likely. Chinas Navy is already larger than the US, and if a war unfor happens, the US will have a lot of modern things. Its like people want the US military to stop upgrading their stuff. Its also only 3% of their gdp. The US economy is disgustingly massive, so it could easily pay for this stuff in the military and other stuff. Thing is, politicians here in the US are God awful as well
