Yup... part of the training is a special mock up sub that is flooding, and filling with water and you have to try to stop it. They don't let you drown. Also, you have to surface in a special tower 100 feet tall full of water on a breath of air you take before exiting that room.

Otherwise active sonar always reveal position of submarine. Ohio class really do not use Mk54 torpedoes. No american submarine does. It will need special adapter to be able to fire 324mm torpedo from 533mm torpedo tube. Tomahawk with conventional warhead does not have range 2500 km. Roughly half of that value is correct. Higher value is for nuclear warhead, which weights 1/3rd of conventional one and spared room is replaced by fuel. PDX-57 does not store 2,6MW of energy, it would be just 722 Wh and this will be extremely poor energy density even for lead-acid battery. In fact, they store more than 10 kA-hours at 2.0V of nominal voltage, so at least 20 000 Wh at weigh roughly 953 kg it is energy density 21 Wh/kg, which is not bad for Pb battery but also not great (for example Kilo class is using Pb batteries with energy densities from 37 Wh/kg at rapid discharge to 52 Wh/kg at slow discharge). Whole Ohio class batteries capacity is 2,6 MWh (it has 130 PDX-57 cells which are producing via inverters stable 240VAC and 155VDC used on american submarines). Although I admire your 3D animation capabilities, I have to say, that layout and cutaway is more your imagination than reality.
Thanks for the info. There is little to no information about Ohio Class submarines online. Most of the info were taken from news websites and wikipidea. Thanks for watching.
@@sygdesignworks I know, Americans are extremely secretive about anything in their navy, despite fact, that those information foreign inteligence obtained either by humint or technical analysis long time ago. Some times in joke I am saying, that USN is kept secret even bowel movements of their petty officers. This is why I did not insult you or was not sarcastic towards you. My knowledge about american submarine classes was gathered during decade long searching, crosschecking, papers studies, discussion with former american submariners and soviet Rubin engineers and video scooping. There is no ultimate and all knowing publication, which would encompass them. So I understand, that not everybody have these information at disposal. You made mistakes, some of them I corrected and that is all. No hard feelings. I am glad, that you tried your best and result is not bad at all.
We used to send newbies to the Storekeeper for "Deck softener" or a gallon of "bulkhead remover" or my favorite. "Go get me an "Eye Dee Ten Tee" aka I D I O T
Around 16:40, the batteries are said to deliver so many watts of energy. Strictly speaking, watts is a unit of power (energy/time), not energy. Also its a bit odd to express battery power, unless the duration of time over which that power is delivered is stated (i.e., total energy = power x total time delivered)
My solar battery setup uses so many batteries and each one is limited to100 amps. Knowing the volts, I can figure out the max power delivery by the LiPO4 batteries. But the real delivery limit is my inverter. Back on the old (now ancient by comparison) submarine we used MOTOR GENERATOR sets that delivered AC power which would power the Reactor Coolant Pumps etc. But as you pointed out, that has nothing to do with HOW LONG the batteries can supply that amount of power. You can get an idea of how long that is by making an estimate of the volume of the batteries that is possible and that will lead to HOW LONG they can power the essential loads needed. In most scenarios, the real limit is how long you need to get to PD (periscope depth) so you get a DG started. That will be the real op limit before you need to get the reactor restarted but on the old boat, the DG fuel tank was used as shielding for the reactor and that had plenty of fuel for a lot of hours. Running the DG at periscope depth or on the surface out in the open ocean is no fun as big waves close the intake when it goes underwater at PD and on the surface? Well it doesn't take long for even the 20 year vet chiefs to get sea sick as they aren't used to it either. The goal is to get the reactor restarted and get back to depth where everybody can relax.... I remember in the N Atlantic with a typical winter storm, huge waves sitting at PD getting beat up. One of the EOOWs took a simple instrument failure and screwed it up into a reactor trip. I'd give him shit even today for his screwup because I remember that night very well. I was new RC (reactor controls) div officer and that was frequently a first job for new officers.
Amps would have been the correct term to describe the energy available? As an accountant by trade, but have recently gotten interested into working on my own cars (since its so hard to find an honest mechanic you can afford these days) I've started delving into both the electrical systems of cars, and even stereo components. Electricity is pretty weird and so often taken for granted it's been interesting to learn how both AC and DC work. That almost everything that creates electricity (ex. alternator, computer) make AC current and then a rectifier is used to change it to DC. And how everything Tesla invented back in the 1880's is still being used today for power generation with little change to his design. What a brilliant mind. But I've Learned quite often its only a few dollars part that cause either your car or stereo to malfunction. It's just finding that cheap and often made in China part that is the challenge. lol. thanks for the comment. I just hate the idea of tossing something out when with a little effort you can cheaply fix it yourself, not add to the landfills, and save ya $$ to boot. take care.
Nice video. But a misconception about buoyancy. The main ballast tanks (MBT) are all at the forward and aft ends of the hull. Interior tanks are within the pressure hull are for trim purposes only. When the main ballast tanks are vented to sea (filled with water), the submarine attains neutral buoyancy, not negative buoyancy. The MBTs are never left partially empty - - they're either full of air for surface, or completely vented (filled with water) for submerged. As for negative buoyancy: That is something not desired, because if propulsion is lost, you sink. If anything, it's better to have very slight (very, very slight) positive buoyancy while submerged, and rely on the dive planes and forward momentum (speed) to keep the sub at the desired depth, even if just a few knots. Enlisted berthing: This is on the 3rd level (not second), on the same level as the galley (dining) and heads (restrooms). There's only one diesel generator, not two. There's also the lower section of rudder which is not shown.
I served on the USS Enterprise CVAN-65, as a Nuclear Machinist Mate, so I'm familiar with the nuclear reactor section. What amazes me is how they get all the other stuff to fit! I felt crowded on the aircraft carrier!
On my boat, everyone wears a TLD. I am sure you know what they are. Did the nuc guys aboard a carrier have to wear them? The accumulated amount of radiation was kept in our service records. Once you accumulate so many rads over time, the Navy wouldn't let you serve on a nuclear vessel again. We had a couple of guys who wanted out of submarines. Over a 12 month period, we had 2 guys caught sleeping against the wall of the reactor compartment. They both got out of submarines. They were both court martialed. lol
I don’t think they told you everything. A lot of the information is classified. You forgot to mention what software you used to make the amazing video.
The entire sub you can see isn't actually pressurized. The outer, black hull you see is a free flood area of the sub for several reasons. The actual inner "pressure hull" is the smaller, pressurized zone used by the crew underneath all that. This area is sometimes called the "people tube" for this reason.

The many inaccuracies in the video are at least somewhat understandable, given just how secret the Ohio’s still are, even almost 50 years after they were first commissioned. In fact, their operations are so classified that even many high ranking members of the Navy and command structure don’t know exactly where they all are at any given time. Pretty terrifying to think about.
@@tomascernak6112 Hot racking isn't the norm on tridents but on occasion it does happen. We had riders one patrol and a couple of the FNGs had to do a little hot racking. Thankfully (for them), the riders weren't aboard the whole patrol.
Actually the British have surpassed the US for decades. Their boats are FAR more advanced than ours. Their reactors are 2 generations ahead, we only just started using HPR when they were using 2nd generation HPRs in the 80s. Read "Running Critical" if you want to see just how far behind we were/are. The USN is the biggest bunch of conservative blockheads in the US military. They only adopt something new after they have had their asses handed to them in public at least once. They thought airplane were only good for recon until Mitchel sunk a battleship with one bomb. They insisted that Battleships were the Kings of the seas until aircraft carriers dominated in WWII.
I'm super excited about our new Columbia class submarines. The sonar will be super advanced high tech they will be able to hear the steam and bubbles in a reactor in an enemy submarine💯
When diving we used to put 8 oz Styrofoam dixie cups in a garment bag tied between the inner and outer hulls. When the boat surfaced, the cups would be crushed to the size of a hard thimble but was otherwise a an exactly proportioned miniature dixie cup. Of course, they were an exact, physical record of our dive depth and the higher ups collected them from us so as to keep our diving depth secret.
Very informative. Frightening how the Trident II can carry 12 to 14 nuclear warheads. It looks like there could be at least 12 of them on one sub. That's insane firepower 😅
@sygdesignworks 87 megatons is nuts. I think submarines are the scariest weapons right behind nukes because they're everywhere & nowhere. Silent assasins!
If any of these subs launch their tridents, it's well past game over. Either the MM2 and bombers on alert got caught in the silos or at their bases, or not enough FAFO nukes survived post launch. Either way, it's back to the stone age.
@user-yq3fz9ch5q nah, the nuclear apocalypse is absolutely over blown. The scary part people want to avoid thinking about is that a nuclear war will absolutely fuck shit up, but it won't reboot society, many many of us will survive along with a battered infrastructure, the ugly truth is we will probably live and have to deal with the literal and figurative fallout.
Point of correction The steam when cooled back to water does NOT return to the reactor (That water is a closed system that is highly radioactive) it returns to the steam generator where is will be heated to steam again and again.
I was a nuke electrician from 98 to 09 and after seeing all the mistakes he made up in the cone I was like, welp, the engine room sure ought to be interesting! lol Can't really hold it against him too much though, considering just how much more difficult it is for outsiders and civvies to get accurate info.
Very nice the only problem is the information about the sonar, Submarines use two types Active and Passive You described their active sonar quite well but its not used all the time or hardly at all as it gives away your position to the enemy as well as tells you where it is. Passive sonar is using both the ships hull mounted hydrophones as well as the towed array which is a cable the sub will drop behind itself and is covered in hydrophones allowing the ship to listen behind its screw as well as grants the sub a better idea about what is around it.
Trident subs are not equipped with active sonar. Active is for tactical warfare. Tridents are strategic weapons, and run from any potential threat to retain their designed purpose - Nuclear deterrence
I found this one of the most interesting posts that I have seen on RUclips. Thanks! What is the difference between the eighth generation nuclear reactor for US nuclear submarines, and the previous generations? The French Navy has been using the same nuclear reactor to power their Aircraft Carrier and nuclear powered submarines over quite a few generations of the submarines, if I am not mistaken. What was the need to fit these boats with eighth generation submarine nuclear reactors?
Unfortunately there's not much information available about the nuclear reactors. Not just the reactors, there's almost no info available about Ohio class submarines in general other than the basic specifications. US govt maintains a lot of secrecy about the navy tech more than the aerospace tech for some reason. Thanks for watching.
One of the main design goals was to extend the life of the fuel.....that is, more miles per gallon. That equals fewer EXPENSIVE refueling periods in drydock. And they got there.....the newest boats have cores that never need refueling in the 40 year life of the boat.
When I was a kid, I built a toy sub out of plastic foam, put in a fair amount of led snots for ballast and tried to achieve neutral buoyancy by adding very tiny chunks of led wire. I wanted to see my sub soared in the depth of my bath. It never happened. Floating sub always sunk .Neutral buoyancy is quite unstable state, could not be set for a more or less long time. The better accuracy of the math - the less speed sub needs to maintain “neutral”buoyancy.
I have a question concerning the torpedoes. Please bare with me as my knowledge is very limited with regard to their operations. Usually a torpedo will detonate on impact with the intended target, but, from I have seen on movies, some targets can evade torpedoes and the torpedoes run until.its energy is expended. My question, why don't they design them similar to depth charges. If the target is evading the torpedo, can it still detonate within close proximity to the target? Given a torpedo's explosive power, I believe it can still inflict some hull damage. Just asking.
Good question. But torpedoes, especially the Mk-48 ones that I've shown in the video has a proximity fuse. They are magnetic proximity fuse that detonates closer to the target and inflict serious damage to hull.
Having spent 10 years on this class of submarine. You were close on some things and way off on others (ex. Sonar dome is free flood and not accessible except when sub is in dry dock), plus location/descriptions of most of the compartments are wrong, but overall , nice video as it explains some things and is entertaining.
I served on the Henry M Jackson. SSBN 730. Did 4 patrols... We left Bangor WA. Went to sea... Came back to Bangor... That was the extent of my "Join the Navy, see the world". lol
Nice. The listed designation of the Tomahawk's engine is out of date. Originally designated the F107-WR-14A6, then designated the F107-WR-103 by Williams then designated the F112-WR-100 by the USAF.
I like the movie. But you make one mistake. At approx. 3.35 you say that Low frequency radio has shorter wave lengths. This is not correct. The lower the radio frequency the longer the wave lengths become. So LF Radio has long, not short wave lengths.
Ohio class submarines with the BQQ-6 Sonar system don't even have active sonar. All we had was an under ice transmitter for pinging ice above us. Tridents don't engage in ASW. We ran from all threats to remain hidden to end the world
In 1:34 the length of the submarine is 170m and the maximum depth it can dive to is 243.8m, less than twice the length of the sub. Am I missing something?
Lots of lessons were learned from Thresher and I put the first sub with SUBSAFE into commission as a result of that accident. We were the first submarine since the accident to not be depth restricted. Nuclear submarines have always had diesel generator back up from the beginning. You just can't run them submerged without snorkeling or you would burn up all the air inside the hull in a few minutes.
From the design stage in the early 70's, to its launch in the early 80's, it was a very impressive machine but that was 50 years ago when computer technology was in its infancy. I'm not suggesting that up-grades were not periodically addressed but we've entered a totally new era. An era of global surveillance, satellite networks robotics and most of all, artificial intelligence that will allow for un-manned, coordinated, swarm attacks and that's just the beginning. The carrier task force and the fighter jets it carries are obsolete as it the 50 year old SR-77. The Chinese already have their own JPS network giving them the ability to locate anything on the globe perhaps even underwater. The Big Boys in arms development are already showing up in Washington with plans to counter these threats but as with EV cars, we can't compete. Chinese graduates 6 million engineering degrees per year and the US 80k and half of them are Asian students studying in the US.

Ohio class really do not use Mk54 torpedoes. No american submarine does. It will need special adapter to be able to fire 324mm torpedo from 533mm torpedo tube.
Tomahawk with conventional warhead does not have range 2500 km. Roughly half of that value is correct. Higher value is for nuclear warhead, which weights 1/3rd of conventional one and spared room is replaced by fuel.
PDX-57 does not store 2,6MW of energy, it would be just 722 Wh and this will be extremely poor energy density even for lead-acid battery. In fact, they store more than 10 kA-hours at 2.0V of nominal voltage, so at least 20 000 Wh at weigh roughly 953 kg it is energy density 21 Wh/kg, which is not bad for Pb battery but also not great (for example Kilo class is using Pb batteries with energy densities from 37 Wh/kg at rapid discharge to 52 Wh/kg at slow discharge).
Whole Ohio class batteries capacity is 2,6 MWh (it has 130 PDX-57 cells which are producing via inverters stable 240VAC and 155VDC used on american submarines).
Although I admire your 3D animation capabilities, I have to say, that layout and cutaway is more your imagination than reality.
Thanks for the info. There is little to no information about Ohio Class submarines online. Most of the info were taken from news websites and wikipidea. Thanks for watching.
@@sygdesignworks I know, Americans are extremely secretive about anything in their navy, despite fact, that those information foreign inteligence obtained either by humint or technical analysis long time ago.
Some times in joke I am saying, that USN is kept secret even bowel movements of their petty officers.
This is why I did not insult you or was not sarcastic towards you. My knowledge about american submarine classes was gathered during decade long searching, crosschecking, papers studies, discussion with former american submariners and soviet Rubin engineers and video scooping. There is no ultimate and all knowing publication, which would encompass them. So I understand, that not everybody have these information at disposal. You made mistakes, some of them I corrected and that is all. No hard feelings. I am glad, that you tried your best and result is not bad at all.
You're wrong. I was grand admiral brigadier general master chief supreme commander of alpha submarine force Charlie back in 92.
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Yeah, and you opened largest bottle of vodka then. Till today, you did not get sober 😀
I'm assuming they have to change those batteries every three years? That sounds like a tough job changing those things.
Ships don't have floors. They have decks. And naval ships don't have restrooms. They have heads.
And they don't have left and right. Starboard and port.
It’s probably the work of “Generic sounding voice” here maybe. Or maybe the knowledge isn’t known yet.
We used to send newbies to the Storekeeper for "Deck softener" or a gallon of "bulkhead remover" or my favorite. "Go get me an "Eye Dee Ten Tee" aka I D I O T
Many people seeing this probably don’t know that. I think they’re trying to be relatable to a wider audience. But now we know, thanks!
@@borisfilipovic5253 actually port and starboard, in that order.

1 ping only.
Around 16:40, the batteries are said to deliver so many watts of energy. Strictly speaking, watts is a unit of power (energy/time), not energy. Also its a bit odd to express battery power, unless the duration of time over which that power is delivered is stated (i.e., total energy = power x total time delivered)
My solar battery setup uses so many batteries and each one is limited to100 amps. Knowing the volts, I can figure out the max power delivery by the LiPO4 batteries. But the real delivery limit is my inverter. Back on the old (now ancient by comparison) submarine we used MOTOR GENERATOR sets that delivered AC power which would power the Reactor Coolant Pumps etc. But as you pointed out, that has nothing to do with HOW LONG the batteries can supply that amount of power. You can get an idea of how long that is by making an estimate of the volume of the batteries that is possible and that will lead to HOW LONG they can power the essential loads needed. In most scenarios, the real limit is how long you need to get to PD (periscope depth) so you get a DG started. That will be the real op limit before you need to get the reactor restarted but on the old boat, the DG fuel tank was used as shielding for the reactor and that had plenty of fuel for a lot of hours. Running the DG at periscope depth or on the surface out in the open ocean is no fun as big waves close the intake when it goes underwater at PD and on the surface? Well it doesn't take long for even the 20 year vet chiefs to get sea sick as they aren't used to it either. The goal is to get the reactor restarted and get back to depth where everybody can relax....
I remember in the N Atlantic with a typical winter storm, huge waves sitting at PD getting beat up. One of the EOOWs took a simple instrument failure and screwed it up into a reactor trip. I'd give him shit even today for his screwup because I remember that night very well. I was new RC (reactor controls) div officer and that was frequently a first job for new officers.
Amps would have been the correct term to describe the energy available? As an accountant by trade, but have recently gotten interested into working on my own cars (since its so hard to find an honest mechanic you can afford these days) I've started delving into both the electrical systems of cars, and even stereo components. Electricity is pretty weird and so often taken for granted it's been interesting to learn how both AC and DC work. That almost everything that creates electricity (ex. alternator, computer) make AC current and then a rectifier is used to change it to DC. And how everything Tesla invented back in the 1880's is still being used today for power generation with little change to his design. What a brilliant mind. But I've Learned quite often its only a few dollars part that cause either your car or stereo to malfunction. It's just finding that cheap and often made in China part that is the challenge. lol. thanks for the comment. I just hate the idea of tossing something out when with a little effort you can cheaply fix it yourself, not add to the landfills, and save ya $$ to boot. take care.
I worked at EB in 1976 and saw the first hull sections of the Ohio come together.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
And now boat 826 is coming together. It's fantastic.
Nice video. But a misconception about buoyancy. The main ballast tanks (MBT) are all at the forward and aft ends of the hull. Interior tanks are within the pressure hull are for trim purposes only. When the main ballast tanks are vented to sea (filled with water), the submarine attains neutral buoyancy, not negative buoyancy. The MBTs are never left partially empty - - they're either full of air for surface, or completely vented (filled with water) for submerged. As for negative buoyancy: That is something not desired, because if propulsion is lost, you sink. If anything, it's better to have very slight (very, very slight) positive buoyancy while submerged, and rely on the dive planes and forward momentum (speed) to keep the sub at the desired depth, even if just a few knots.
Enlisted berthing: This is on the 3rd level (not second), on the same level as the galley (dining) and heads (restrooms).
There's only one diesel generator, not two.
There's also the lower section of rudder which is not shown.
What an impressive complex machine!
Thanks for watching!
I served on the USS Enterprise CVAN-65, as a Nuclear Machinist Mate, so I'm familiar with the nuclear reactor section. What amazes me is how they get all the other stuff to fit! I felt crowded on the aircraft carrier!
On my boat, everyone wears a TLD. I am sure you know what they are. Did the nuc guys aboard a carrier have to wear them? The accumulated amount of radiation was kept in our service records. Once you accumulate so many rads over time, the Navy wouldn't let you serve on a nuclear vessel again. We had a couple of guys who wanted out of submarines. Over a 12 month period, we had 2 guys caught sleeping against the wall of the reactor compartment. They both got out of submarines. They were both court martialed. lol
Awesome Program
Thanks for watching!
Awesome 3D animation, send it to my wife uncle and gee it helped him understand how submarine works and it answers a lot of questions. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Very good and professional presentation... congratulations...
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
The entire sub you can see isn't actually pressurized. The outer, black hull you see is a free flood area of the sub for several reasons. The actual inner "pressure hull" is the smaller, pressurized zone used by the crew underneath all that. This area is sometimes called the "people tube" for this reason.
That is only true for the fwd and aft part of the boat where the ballast tanks are located.
"People Tank" is the correct term. God Bless Submariners
@19:00 better say vapour turbine, otherwise the term gas turbine is confusing, that one is used in major warships.
Steam turbine. But still steam turbine is subcategory of gas turbine, so I would not see as problem at all.

The many inaccuracies in the video are at least somewhat understandable, given just how secret the Ohio’s still are, even almost 50 years after they were first commissioned.
In fact, their operations are so classified that even many high ranking members of the Navy and command structure don’t know exactly where they all are at any given time. Pretty terrifying to think about.
Actually, a whole slew of Aussies now know, thanks to our loose-lipped former Braggart-in-Chief, Kadet Bonespurs.
Go to Google Earth. You can see 12 of them tied up along the pier in Bremerton, WA.
wow, didn't know all those boats sitting in the Dead Fleet waiting to be scrapped are OHIO Subs.
Those are decommissioned subs mostly fast attack subs.@@PCVMoldova
Not knowing being terrifying is the point. Boomers exist to give the other guy reasons to rethink attacking the US.

Actually the British have surpassed the US for decades. Their boats are FAR more advanced than ours. Their reactors are 2 generations ahead, we only just started using HPR when they were using 2nd generation HPRs in the 80s. Read "Running Critical" if you want to see just how far behind we were/are. The USN is the biggest bunch of conservative blockheads in the US military. They only adopt something new after they have had their asses handed to them in public at least once. They thought airplane were only good for recon until Mitchel sunk a battleship with one bomb. They insisted that Battleships were the Kings of the seas until aircraft carriers dominated in WWII.
Outstanding!
Thanks a lot!
I'm super excited about our new Columbia class submarines. The sonar will be super advanced high tech they will be able to hear the steam and bubbles in a reactor in an enemy submarine💯
Fantástico, gracias 👍
Thanks lot!
Good animations but the information and narration isn't great
Navy don’t have “medics”, they have Corpsman.
Has it ever been put to use. I wish there was more information on how nuclear energy is created to keep it running.

Just one correction, BQR-19 is a sonar system, not a radar, not underwater..
When diving we used to put 8 oz Styrofoam dixie cups in a garment bag tied between the inner and outer hulls. When the boat surfaced, the cups would be crushed to the size of a hard thimble but was otherwise a an exactly proportioned miniature dixie cup. Of course, they were an exact, physical record of our dive depth and the higher ups collected them from us so as to keep our diving depth secret.
Wow! Thank you for your service.
In naval parlance "MK" is pronounced "mark."
Another correction, torpedos are ejected with seawater, not air, a piston that pushes the water is run by compress air.
Ecellent and very informative..
Thanks for watching!
I got to be a rider on the OHIO 726 back in 1981, cool boat lots of room compared to the other boats I served on...

A reasonably correct video minus several inaccuracies.
Well done!
Thanks for watching!
Very informative. Frightening how the Trident II can carry 12 to 14 nuclear warheads. It looks like there could be at least 12 of them on one sub. That's insane firepower 😅
Did you know that a single Ohio class submarine carries 87 Megatons of firepower! It can completely Obliterate 336 Cites! Thanks for watching!
@sygdesignworks 87 megatons is nuts. I think submarines are the scariest weapons right behind nukes because they're everywhere & nowhere. Silent assasins!
182 independently targetable warheads per boat, I was on one.
If any of these subs launch their tridents, it's well past game over. Either the MM2 and bombers on alert got caught in the silos or at their bases, or not enough FAFO nukes survived post launch. Either way, it's back to the stone age.
@user-yq3fz9ch5q nah, the nuclear apocalypse is absolutely over blown. The scary part people want to avoid thinking about is that a nuclear war will absolutely fuck shit up, but it won't reboot society, many many of us will survive along with a battered infrastructure, the ugly truth is we will probably live and have to deal with the literal and figurative fallout.
awesome.😊
Thank you!
Why is the torpedo guidance cable cut before target impact?
The navigation system takes over when the target is closer to the target.
MK stands for Mark hence it is pronounced "Mark 48 torpedo" not "M K 48 torpedo"
dunno if i missed it or something but it dosent have a captains quarter?
I'm not sure about this, but I think the captain lives in one of the officer's quarters. Thanks for watching!

Point of correction The steam when cooled back to water does NOT return to the reactor (That water is a closed system that is highly radioactive) it returns to the steam generator where is will be heated to steam again and again.
I was a nuke electrician from 98 to 09 and after seeing all the mistakes he made up in the cone I was like, welp, the engine room sure ought to be interesting! lol Can't really hold it against him too much though, considering just how much more difficult it is for outsiders and civvies to get accurate info.
Very nice the only problem is the information about the sonar, Submarines use two types Active and Passive You described their active sonar quite well but its not used all the time or hardly at all as it gives away your position to the enemy as well as tells you where it is. Passive sonar is using both the ships hull mounted hydrophones as well as the towed array which is a cable the sub will drop behind itself and is covered in hydrophones allowing the ship to listen behind its screw as well as grants the sub a better idea about what is around it.
cool. thank you.
Trident subs are not equipped with active sonar. Active is for tactical warfare. Tridents are strategic weapons, and run from any potential threat to retain their designed purpose - Nuclear deterrence
SSBN727 Michigan got downgraded to SSGN. Very sad.
ОЧЕНЬ ИНТЕРЕСНО.
I found this one of the most interesting posts that I have seen on RUclips. Thanks! What is the difference between the eighth generation nuclear reactor for US nuclear submarines, and the previous generations? The French Navy has been using the same nuclear reactor to power their Aircraft Carrier and nuclear powered submarines over quite a few generations of the submarines, if I am not mistaken. What was the need to fit these boats with eighth generation submarine nuclear reactors?
Unfortunately there's not much information available about the nuclear reactors. Not just the reactors, there's almost no info available about Ohio class submarines in general other than the basic specifications. US govt maintains a lot of secrecy about the navy tech more than the aerospace tech for some reason. Thanks for watching.
@jimfrazier8611 Wow! Awesome! Thanks for watching!
One of the main design goals was to extend the life of the fuel.....that is, more miles per gallon. That equals fewer EXPENSIVE refueling periods in drydock. And they got there.....the newest boats have cores that never need refueling in the 40 year life of the boat.
Generations 1-7 weren't cool enough.
When I was a kid, I built a toy sub out of plastic foam, put in a fair amount of led snots for ballast and tried to achieve neutral buoyancy by adding very tiny chunks of led wire. I wanted to see my sub soared in the depth of my bath. It never happened. Floating sub always sunk .Neutral buoyancy is quite unstable state, could not be set for a more or less long time. The better accuracy of the math - the less speed sub needs to maintain “neutral”buoyancy.
I have a question concerning the torpedoes. Please bare with me as my knowledge is very limited with regard to their operations. Usually a torpedo will detonate on impact with the intended target, but, from I have seen on movies, some targets can evade torpedoes and the torpedoes run until.its energy is expended. My question, why don't they design them similar to depth charges. If the target is evading the torpedo, can it still detonate within close proximity to the target? Given a torpedo's explosive power, I believe it can still inflict some hull damage. Just asking.
Good question. But torpedoes, especially the Mk-48 ones that I've shown in the video has a proximity fuse. They are magnetic proximity fuse that detonates closer to the target and inflict serious damage to hull.
Amazing ship
Having spent 10 years on this class of submarine. You were close on some things and way off on others (ex. Sonar dome is free flood and not accessible except when sub is in dry dock), plus location/descriptions of most of the compartments are wrong, but overall , nice video as it explains some things and is entertaining.

Sooo good thank you
Thanks for watching!
I like the movie. But you make one mistake. At approx. 3.35 you say that Low frequency radio has shorter wave lengths.
This is not correct. The lower the radio frequency the longer the wave lengths become. So LF Radio has long, not short wave lengths.
Fun fact: the sonar is loud enough to kill a person in close range
Ohio class submarines with the BQQ-6 Sonar system don't even have active sonar. All we had was an under ice transmitter for pinging ice above us. Tridents don't engage in ASW. We ran from all threats to remain hidden to end the world
Tridents have no active sonar
In 1:34 the length of the submarine is 170m and the maximum depth it can dive to is 243.8m, less than twice the length of the sub. Am I missing something?
No. It's the disclosed depth. The real depth is still a secret.
You forget about nuclear torpedo But that’s classified 7:50
I guess they learned the lessons from the Thresher to always have a backup generator...
Lots of lessons were learned from Thresher and I put the first sub with SUBSAFE into commission as a result of that accident. We were the first submarine since the accident to not be depth restricted. Nuclear submarines have always had diesel generator back up from the beginning. You just can't run them submerged without snorkeling or you would burn up all the air inside the hull in a few minutes.
From the design stage in the early 70's, to its launch in the early 80's, it was a very impressive machine but that was 50 years ago when computer technology was in its infancy. I'm not suggesting that up-grades were not periodically addressed but we've entered a totally new era. An era of global surveillance, satellite networks robotics and most of all, artificial intelligence that will allow for un-manned, coordinated, swarm attacks and that's just the beginning.
The carrier task force and the fighter jets it carries are obsolete as it the 50 year old SR-77. The Chinese already have their own JPS network giving them the ability to locate anything on the globe perhaps even underwater. The Big Boys in arms development are already showing up in Washington with plans to counter these threats but as with EV cars, we can't compete.
Chinese graduates 6 million engineering degrees per year and the US 80k and half of them are Asian students studying in the US.
VLF means very long wavelength. Compare light being blocked by a piece of paper but longer radio waves going through building walls.
