Aaron, I'm so glad Sub Brief has become successful. I tell people about your channel all the time. The information you put together here is just fantastic. You've really done a great job. All of you at Sub Brief should be very proud.
He really does do a great job , him and his team. I just wish I would’ve heard about his Channel sooner , I first saw it around the time if the Titan submersible and it was like a when you find that GF ( or BF) that is awesome and makes you want to settle down with them , when I looked at the channel page I said “where have you been all my life” …. lol
@@fffwe3876 Lets be honest, it's easy to trash the corrupt senile US president. He stole the last election and his family receive cash for access, from some dubious geopolitical actors. 10% of which goes to him directly.
The first video I ever saw of his was "The Ping" followed by several of his sonar analysis videos which I absolutely love and wish there were more of. Love this gentleman and his teams' work!
Badass! Congrats, Aaron! UNREPs (Underway Replenishments) were always stressful for the throttlemen in the #2 reactor plant on a carrier. The bridge changing the ordered bell by 1 or 2 RPM every few seconds.
A couple of days ago, an Indian news channel reported that the Indian Navy had deployed a couple of their ships to provide protection for Indian ships in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Must have been right after this attack that you talked about. This situation is getting more dangerous.
Protect Indian ships. So ....does that mean India is fine with IRAN attacking other nationality ships? Pretty sad state of affairs, but I understand. INDIA only cares for and about INDIA.
Will the Indians attack the Iranian launch sites or the Houthi Launch Sites? The USN has been told to "show restraint" from the highest levels in the White House.
11:10 Kaga has 2 elevators, not one. There's a deck edge elevator aft of the island, and one on the centerline just in front of the island next to helicopter spot 2 The darker grey rectangle on the port quarter deck seems to be the F-35B landing pad
I had asked a question in a previous video about how the Houthi were able to procure ASBM's to attack ships, and the answer I received was that they didn't have them and were using some complex math along with an improved version of the SCUD (which makes perfect sense to me). It's interesting to note that over on The National Interest there is an article by Dr. James Holmes who is the Chair of Maritime Strategy at the Naval War College contending that they actually used anti-ship ballistic missiles similar to those that China has. Article: Where Did the Houthis Get Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles? Makes me think there is more to the story and maybe some sales or sharing of technology with Iran?
It wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for putin to be behind this and the Hamas attacks . It pays him to cause as much trouble for America as possible right now .
Happy New Years to you and the rest of the Sub Brief team! I discovered your channel during the Titan submersible incident and I really appreciate your honest, experienced and unbiased coverage of global events. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next year!
The Kaga looks like it has a mid deck elevator as well as a deck edge elevator. Look close near the middle of the flight deck near the front of the island similar to the early US WWII carriers.
I was wondering if anybody got that connection. Interesting to see JSDF use such a (in)famous ship name on a modern carrier, especially since the Kaga province doesn't exist anymore.
Congrats Aaron on your channel's success. May it continue to grow in this coming year. You always have interesting things to say about all things Naval. As an ex Naval man myself, it is always great to catch up on what is going on these days.
Been following you since the Cold Waters days on Twitch. It's been an absolute education and pleasure to see! Thank you for the past few years and all the best to you, yours, and the new staff in 2024!!
Aaron, please continue to bring us the news. I love how you relate your personal experience and knowledge. I appreciate how forthright and honest you seem to be. Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for the job you continue to do despite no longer under the employ of the USN. This is one of the very very few channels I trust, so please keep it that way. I love you.
Congratulations on forming a company around the channel, Aaron. And on hiring people as well. Interesting to see what appears to be a civilian Super Puma helicopter doing the air lift in the replenishment video. Happy New Year, mate. Cheers.
The new Japanese Kaga... it looks like a carrier. It launches planes like a carrier. It's named after one of their most famous carriers from WWII. She's a carrier.
Given its size and capabilities it's a light carrier or escort carrier. Certainly not a fleet carrier. We are gradually developing most at-sea roles to being performed by vtosl or vtol type craft, but full carrier functions are simply not possible without more traditional capabilities. That said, it should be re-classed as a vtosl carrier, if it can do short landings anyway. Otherwise I'd say vtol carrier.
Ryan McBeth said on his channel that the Indian Navy has dispatched 3 destroyers (so far) to the region (could be the Red Sea rather than Arabian Sea, I don't remember the details). They're not as well-equipped as the coalition defending commercial shipping from Houthi strikes, but Iran will think twice before launching an attack on a warship. That explosion in Crimea looks very much like the ones where Ukraine hit Russian ammo depots. That ship ain't coming back.
Although the F-35 CAN take of vertically, doing so severely reduces how much it can carry. It normally functions as a Short Take Off Vertical Landing craft; much the same as the AV-8 (Harrier) does.
The F-35B can take off vertically. The F-35A and F-35C lack any sort of VTOL capability. The F-35 is a bit confusing, as there's three different planes operating under basically the same name. A is for the air force(the "normal" version), B for the marines(VTOL to match the Harrier), C for the navy(larger wings and heavier landing gear)
Congrats on growing the channel and the team, well deserved. Though I do have to say I hope you don't have quite so many ongoing conflicts to report on next year...
Aaron, I was a nuke MM / DV on a 75X LA class in the 90s. I tell people all the time if I had a chance to do it all over again I would have been a Sonar Tech. At least then I would have had some clue as to what we were doing.
Thanks Aaron for including the part about replenishment at sea being arduous, dangerous, and exhausting (at 12:08). I remember doing that once or twice in the late 1970s on a destroyer. It was exhausting for someone like me who was not a body builder.
In a time when voices are quick and loud to call out negatives, there's nothing wrong with recognizing proper conduct... which itself is good conduct. Congrats on a successful year!
Congrats on the channel blowing up (no shade thrown to the Russian ship) and I hope 2024 continues to be a good year for you. I'm a civilian and previously had zero interest in the various seaworthy news but after the billionare submersible bloop, I stumbled across this channel and I've given a like with every episode since. I've also recommended this to anyone remotely navy-minded, and I've learned a lot about navy movements from both you and the gloriously informed comment section. Hats off to you and your crew sir, and I'll be along for the ride. Cant wait to see the plated 'Play' button in your future!
Congratulations on the channel becoming successful! I almost never comment, but this channel has been a great reference for myself while navigating geo-pol news. Love it!
Good stuff! Can’t wait till 2024! You guys are F’n good at what you do! I’m a former Vietnam War Era Skimmer and later, Sub Sailor out of Guam. I proudly served aboard the USS Waccamaw, AO109, and USS Theodore Roosevelt SSBN 600. I served from March of 1972 until November 1975. I thank God that I was able to serve my country as both a Skimmer AND a Bubblehead! A Gangers forever! America forever!
Thanks for the memory Gene. It's been 42 years now since I was OOD for an UNREP. It still get the pucker factor going just thinking about it. Keep up the good work. A big Bravo Zulu to you and your staff.
Mister Amick, it has been a pleasure to watch you and your content continue to flourish this year. It has been an honor to contribute what little I can, and see your capable and professional stewardship grow as it so obviously has. I do miss the sonar analyses, truth be told. Happy new year!
Happy New Year. I'm glad that I found your channel 2 years ago and have been sharing contents. 1. The People's Liberation Army Navy, Coast guard, and Naval militia have not been acting professionally off the Philippines. They have certainly been ignoring international law and naval conventions. 2. Japan has four helicopter destroyers with full flight decks that way over 19,000 tons. But just remember that JS Kaga is named after the Japanese prefecture and absolutely not named after, the former battle cruiser turned carrier, IJN Kaga.
yes but a HESA Shahed 136 drone does not have armor piercing capability it has a shape charge it would blow a hole from outside of the ship into the ship . Iridium satellite phone SIM card are used to control it from satellites it does not need another ship. it's much more likely that it was the Chinese. they're trying to make up a reason why to invade Iran.
@ 10:00 Let me point out that _Kaga_ is the name of one of six Japanese carriers that launched the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941. That _Kaga_ was sunk during the battle of Midway in June of 1942.
And to make it even weirder, JS Kaga is about the same displacement as CV-6 USS Enterprise. Okay, IJN Kaga and JS Kaga were both named for the Kaga province, but it's pretty funny.
JS Kaga was named for the IJN Kaga of WW2. IJN Kaga was part of the battle group which attacked Pearl Harbor on 7Dec1941. It was lost to US forces during the Battle of Midway between 4-7Jun1942.
The USS Bataan is pronounced with 3 syllables. Ba-ta-an. A Tagalog word. Named for a province of the Philippines just west of Manila, made famous by the WW2 death march!
Would you consider the incident with active sonar used against Australian navy divers as professional conduct by the PLAN? As reported by Sal's channel. I think it was dangerous.
it was reported on this very channel, completely unprofessional and our PM has met with Xi twice now with nothing mentioned in the news, played down as always.
The Kaga does have two elevators. One is a deck-edge lift on the starboard side aft. There is also a lift roughly on the centerline approximately next to the Island. You can see the edges of the elevator if you carefully look.
Iran attacking an Indian ship could really complicate matters for Russia. India is still (nominally) a Russian ally but they also have a strong relationship with ship with Israel.
Thanks for what you do. I’m in the submarine building business and appreciate the passionate insights into the ‘in the trenches’ business of the Navy. Best wishes in 2024!
@11:09 Sub Brief says "it appears to have only one elevator". There appears to be a second deck not edge elevator located starboard of the vtol marking 2nd from bow. Compared to the edge elevator starboard aft this midships elevator appears to be narrower but longer. Possibly the deck edge expects to stick part of a long helicopter or plane to hang out over the edge as thats possible with an open edge. The midship style needs to accommodate all of it explaining it being longer.
Last video of the year?!? I was hoping for a New Years Eve Cold Waters marathon. You've come a long way skipper, congratulations on your channels success.
Congrats on the channels growth Jive! I first came over from the salt mines. Lots of changes since Hurricane repair and walking Bianca in the humidity! I miss her visits 😢. Here's to more success and a happy new year!
Congratulations on your developments, Mr Amick. Richly deserved due to your hard work and the consistently high standard of you content. Have a great 2024.
Does the Navy contract with civilian aircraft to work off of the underway replenishment ships? That helicopter was a EC-225 Super Puma with civilian registration number.
Aaron its crazy seeing you in these videos to me , I had a friend named Aaron that looked a lot like you and to have the same name to is funny. He died about 2 years ago from colon cancer at 39 years old. So when I watch your videos not only do I get entertained and educated, it reminds me of my friend and all the good times on the water fishing and what not. You guys really have a great channel and I hope you can bring knowledge and joy to many others for years to come RIP 🪦 Aaron Arlington , hope he’s up there somewhere watching this awesome channel with me …

It wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for putin to be behind this and the Hamas attacks . It pays him to cause as much trouble for America as possible right now .
Why can't I see the replies here? This this guy hit the nail on the head with this one
Iran has had Silk Worm ship missiles since the 80's and my best guess is that they have acquired them from Iran at some point in the past.
Most of Iran’s missiles are Chinese copies of Chinese missiles.

I'm no expert, but doesn't the peeling back of the outer hull show that the explosion happened inside?
Exactly what i was thinking.
Yes. Seems like the drone penetrated the hull and then exploded inside the compartment behind the bulkhead. He mentions that at 2:07.
yes but a HESA Shahed 136 drone does not have armor piercing capability it has a shape charge it would blow a hole from outside of the ship into the ship .

You guys really have a great channel and I hope you can bring knowledge and joy to many others for years to come
RIP 🪦 Aaron Arlington , hope he’s up there somewhere watching this awesome channel with me …
Congratulations on the expansion, sir. See you in 2024 for more naval news.
