Ohio class submarines - the American nuclear hammer

  • Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
  • Ohio is a class of American strategic nuclear submarines. The family is made up of 18 boats, of which 14 are ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and another 4 are cruise missile submarines (SSGN).
    With a total displacement of 18,750 tons, Ohio is the largest submarine built in the United States. They are significantly inferior in this indicator to the Soviet "Typhoon" submarines, but they hold the record for arsenal: 24 Trident II ballistic missiles or 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
    Deliveries were carried out from 1986 to 1997. Ohio-class submarines are the only nuclear missile carriers in the US NAVY and are considered the most powerful element of the nuclear triad. According to various estimates, about 60% of the deployed American nuclear arsenal is located on 14 boats. According to preliminary plans, the submarines will remain in service for about 20 more years and, from the beginning of the 2030s, they will gradually begin to be replaced by boats of a new generation - the Columbia class.
    Thanks for watching!

    In 1972, during the Vietnam war, I was flying B-52’s from Guam. Our track would take us north of the Philippines for aerial refueling. One night, during a thunderstorm, one of our airplanes lost their systems that provided flight instruments and they lost control. 7 men were forced to bail out into the ocean. They got into their life rafts in high seas. They had sent a distress signal, so a C-130 was dispatched to the scene. They were hundreds of miles from land and in a difficult situation. But, a nuclear submarine, returning to base from a patrol was able to surface and pick up 5 of them. One injury was a broken leg. One crew member died and his body was later recovered. The Air Force greatly appreciates the Silent Service!

    I'm not a service man but I was fortunate enough to work with a couple old sub vets at my old job. We built irradiation equipment for military. We had to two technicians that served on subs and told me some crazy stories. One tech Ralph, served on the USS Skate, was one of the engineers that designed the first nuclear submarine. He had stories better than any movie. Many of you probably read the book blind man's bluff, best sub book ever. One of the secret missions they did was during the cold war America discovered an underwater communication cable used by the Russians. Divers from the USS Halibut spliced into the cable allowing US to listen to all Russian naval communications.
    The other tech, was one of those divers.
    He also told me admiral Rickover tried to court marshall him when he was on guard duty because he tried to get on the boat without his ID and he wouldn't let him pass. He said Rickover called him every curse word in the dictionary but he wouldn't let him pass. Luckily the captain came out and saved him. I got massive respect for anyone that serves on these awesome boats.

Also it was most likely the START I treaty between the US and Russia that limited the amount of sub launched nukes more then the UN. As both the US and Russia among others would just out right veto the UN trying to tell them how many of anything they can have.

    Yes...Ohio-class boats smaller in terms of displacement than the Typhoon class, but pack a bigger punch.
    More importantly...of the 18 Ohio-class boats, ALL are still on active duty, but only one of the Typhoon-class is still on duty.
    Fun facts:
    --US warship classes are named after the first ship. (Yeah...we're boring and predictable like that.) The notable exception is the Thresher-class which was renamed Permit-class after the Thresher sank with all hands in 1963.
    --In compliance with treaties signed with the Soviet Union, four of the Ohio-class boats were converted from carrying ballistic missiles to carrying cruise missiles: Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia. Because Ohio was the first boat converted, she has the distinction of being the namesake for two different classes of warship.

    At 2:48, The name of the first ship in a design class is that design's "Class" name. So the future ships are not "eventually give the same name". They are given their own name but are the same design/class as the first. As in the Battleship Missouri on which the Japanese surrender was signed is a Iowa class battleship. Iowa being the first of that design/class built.
