Why MONSTER WAVES Can't Sink US Navy's LARGEST Aircraft Carriers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2024
- The ocean, a vast and unpredictable force, can unleash towering waves that dwarf even the mightiest ships. But amidst this watery chaos, the US Navy's aircraft carriers seemingly defy gravity, riding out the storm. So, how do these behemoths of the sea remain afloat when even experienced sailors cower before monstrous waves? What secret technology allows them to stay afloat while lesser vessels succumb?

Nothing is impossible!
Never say never because Mother Nature can do whatever she decides to do.
You just said "never."
The amount of immense technical innovation that went into this is astonishing. It's hard to even believe we are capable of understanding and utilizing so much about physics.
1976 on board the USS New Orleans LPH-11 in the South China Sea. I was with 3rd Batt. 4th Marines. The Capt. of the ship announced that he was trying to avoid the typhoon but was unable to. All Marines were told to “lay below in their berthing space” but that did not keep me and a couple of buddies from going topside to see natures fury. My buddies and I were on the bridge level of the island and we witnessed a wave that broke over the bow that must have been 15-20 feet higher than the bow. WHAT A SHOW!!! I was yelling so loud that the Capt. heard us and ordered us below or else. We obeyed the order but what a memory. Thanks to the U.S. Navy for the opportunity to witness mother nature’s fury.
I was attached to 3/4 in Iraq. Their love of hazing was unique.
Did the Capt. punish y'all with extra KP duty?
@@worldview730 Nah, but he was VERY convincing!😂
Never say never when it comes to nature.
It doesn't matter how high the wave is as long as the water remains outside of the ship!
Several "Bulk Carriers", iron ore ect have literally broken in half and sunk!
Ex Navy Sailor here from yesteryear, All navy ships use Ballast tanks to maintain the correct center of gravity and bouyancy no matter what is happening with shifting loads, they fill and empty tanks all day long during evolutions, most of this ballasting is automatically controlled.

You mean fluid passive ballast systems!
Smaller ships are fitted with side rudders that can only offset so much pressure without ripping off if used wrongly!!!
Modern ships have 3/16th of an inch plating!!! Explains why the sides of older ships are concaved in like egg cartons!!!
On a large aircraft carrier active pumps speed up the rebalancing, but chews up power & wear & tear on the massive pumps!
Better hull design means everything, instead of righting it's wrongs!!!
S when looking at poor design lok to a Battle cruiser taht lost it's bow off the Allusions during WW2!!! Pounding down on the crest at distance put so much stress on the bow it sheared off just in front of the 1st turret!!!
A mega wave plowing over the bow of a US super carrier will be so heavy it may do the same thing!!!
@@RatusPretentious
"Side Rudders...!?"
You are inventing terminology to fit with the images you saw in your Colouring-in Books.
@@nicolasrose3064🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's how all ships work
This is awesome, love the U.S.
i salute to the u s navy and i salute the whole u s armed forces GOD BLESS AMERICA
Thank you for increasing my confidence in Our Armed Forces in general and in The Navy in particular!
You should do more research on the topic, there is a lot more that was left out of this video. The Nimitz class aircraft carriers' runways are not armored like previous versions, because the guns don't allow anything to get close enough to cause damage to the hulls. They also can outmaneuver smaller ships to the degree that during weapons testing they had to stop the ship, because the wake it created caused waters too rough for the other smaller boats participating in weapons testing. The guns are absolutely insane. No one in their right mind would ever get anywhere near them even if they were a suicide bomber, because it is so well known that no one is going to get close enough to do damage.
Silakan masuk...!!!
Outstanding information. Thanks
I know for a fact Supper Carriers can handle a typhon. USS Abraham Lincoln West Pac 93 we punched our way through one on the way to the Persian Gulf.
Proudly served on U.S.S. MIDWAY.
So what.
My late neighbor and friend was on the U.S.S. Enterprise (non-wartime) in the parts warehouse (quartermaster). He said the ship would literally turn on it's side and they walked up the walls. Men fell from some of the high placed bunks, even when belted in and got hurt really badly. They were going through a hurricane when these things happened. He said it was a most awesome thing for a ship that size to be "sideways" on the ocean.
Wow would like to see a video of that!
@@worldview730There's Gotta be Footage from inside the Island at least.
That ski ramp carrier is not a US carrier. Facts matter.
Not if you’re a republican they like alternative facts. ✌️
@@terryquinn7765 Most democrats bash republicans without knowing the facts, because dystopias posing as utopias sound better than real facts.
Yeah the visuals had inaccuracies throughout
The moment I saw that I couldn’t take this video seriously at all..
Thankyou, it may be petty but i CANT STAND inaccurate information on videos supposed to be for educating.
Count In Millions Enough!!!
I heard the unsinkable story before but I don't remember when.
titanic
It's extraordinary how big waves hit the aircraft carrier, thanks for the video, it's very useful...
Ex-US Navy Sailor, Ship builder and current captain of a blue water vessel. I don't know a single US navy blue water naval vessel with fin stablizers. Also you pronounce Bow wrong. Please stop and do more research before you post videos.
I Was on the USS America CVA-66 in 1972 when we hit a Typhoon in the Gulf of Tonka, we had waves breaking over the bow. When you hit one of those waves the ship just shudders. Kind of scary. You could hear the screws coming out of the water.
Isn't it, The Gulf of Tonkin???
I remember days like that when I was on several aircraft carriers!
None of you were EVER on an aircraft carrier outside of a video game.🤨
What are the sailors on board doing while the ship is bouncing up and down so violently?
Doing whatever they would be doing without the waves, but a little slower.
Maintaining watertight integrity.

A ship's bow is pronounced bau and rhymes with ow. Robin Hood uses a bow pronounced boe which rhymes with toe.
1912 titanic said the same thing
Considero os Estados Unidos da AMÉRICA a essência máxima da qualidade humana. Em tudo, absolutamente em tudo dos USA existe a vontade de se atingir aquilo que há de melhor. Eu sou um eterno admirador seus USA.Parabéns
Ah! American mispronunciation: the front of a ship is called the bow, pronounced like wow, not like go; bow like go is correct in terms like bow and arrow.
This annoyed me more than it should’ve… (The pronunciation that is…)
YOU'RE American
Been on a carrier taking waves over the bow off the north coast of Norway
AG here!! you are welcome!! lolololo :D
Any ship can be sank. Remember the Titanic.
US Navy ships 🚢 are built better than they were 100 years ago with better technology to keep them from sinking as easy, however the unsinkable ship is still a myth♡♡ Given the right conditions any ship will sink♡
Meh
Yes, fine, if you drop enough nuclear bombs near or on a ship it will sink. But when people talk about unsinkable they mean under ordinary means.
Sea_farers are really strong physically and mentally.
Every 7 Or 11 Is Biggest Wave Crew!!!
The fact of its size and the fact of radar allows them to avoid the areas that are experience large waves
Don't bet on it. Nature can swallow the largest structures.
Rogue Waves always scared the hell out of me.

Meh
I am a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief with thirty years service. Will somebody tell these nitwit narrators that the front of a ship is called the bow, pronounced like "how," not like "low." There are more instances of these silly pronunciations but I cannot remember them.
A computer operated gun does not need the ground to be level, they try to keep the ground level because humans operate much more efficiently on level ground, it has NOTHING to do with the guns.
Head's up, the stock photo used at 3:11 is not a "U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier."
If you filled a boat with closed cell foam, maybe you could get close to unsinkable, if you know the amount of weight a set amount of foam can float, you could float the boats weight and then a calculated amount extra for passengerband cargo weight.... something else, we have air bags in every modern vehicle, why not "air bags" that could inflate quickly in a specific order to flip your boat back over if capsized, and enough inflated volume to keep it from completely sinking, enough to let you pump water out and save everyone aboard...
They basically already have that but they are metal balloons, and they are called air tight rooms. The titanic had 20 or so, these ships have hundreds of them. The ones on the titanic didn't have lids so water could spill from one section to the next, these ships have lids on their air tight rooms.
i saw the watchfloor FWC-Norfolk!!!!!! i work there!!!!! :D
Yo I didn’t know carries had fin stabilization, that’s sick!
"Candy dum asses", Yay Yay or Nay Nay
Unsinkable? Where have I heard that before?
When I Was An ABH3 Aboard The USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN-69), In Air Dept/V-1 Div From 1980 - 1984 We Encountered Rough Seas In The North Atlantic.

Jangan KITA SEMUA percaya dengan tajuk yang mengatakan Kapal Perang Laut Amerika ni.. TAKKAN Tenggelam angkara ombak besar ini ...... . Sebenarnya.. hanya Allah SWT yang mengetahuiNYA . KITA semua jee yang tak tahu mengenaiNYA . Percayalah kata-kata KU ini.. Amerika tak akan memberitahu kepada KITA SEMUA yang "kapal perangnya" banyak yang telah TENGGELAM akibat ombak ganas ini...... .
It's a Bulbous BOW (rhymes with "How") ... NOT Bulbous Bow as in "rhymes with Blow minus the L". Ya know ? Like the back of the boat is a Stern. The front of the boat is the BOW (rhymes with HOW). Jesus.
The voice is AI generated. You're chastising a computer.😂
Kind of. The outside "back" of the boat is the stern the "inside back" (below deck) is the aft.
I spent time at sea, and I still believe there's no ship that is unsinkable. There's too much unpredictables at sea. There are monster waves that come out of nowhere and many ships have perished.
Amen, or Amen? Yay Yay, or Nay Nay
That IS scarry AF.
I’ve been on a ship that was hit with a 80 ft wave… USS Guadalcanal LPH-7.
The wave hit the signal bridge while I was up there.
Heading into the waves didn’t bother me… but if we got sideways… yea,I was worried.
They said the Titanic was unsinkable too…………
Each jet cost 100 million dollars
Black hawk
Just burning money 💰 left & right
👍😊
i’ve heard that a meteor called Kinzal can damage anything
Yes it could be, our newest one is
They thought that about the titanic!
Altho it wasnt a wave but an iceberg
If you really think shipbuilding when the titanic ws built is ANYWHERE close to what it is now then time for you to hush up and quietly make your exit
Can it overcome Bermuda Triangle Menace
Yes. The Bermuda Triangle mystery has been solved. There is nothing unusual about it. Just a hyped up legend.
@@MNTrader2012and the solution was???
Come on guys. You are embarrassing yourselves. Hopefully the narrator is an AI because any human knows that "bow" on a Christmas package is very very very different from a "bow" on a ship. Pronunciation on the package type is long "o" , but the ship variety is pronounced like "bow wow".
Are you, we all, GLADLY, stabile, and protected, to begin with, Yay Yay or Nay Nay
Big waves & monster waves are completely different. Though the U.S Navy’s Aircraft Carriers are super tough. No doubt! A big wave no problem but monster? No way she still floats if shes hit broadside with a 100ft Plus rouge wave. Nothing can humble you like the raw power of nature
They would never be hit by such a wave, but even if they were, it might flip over but it isn't sinking. I also don't think you realize how tall those ships are.
I have seen an American. Aircraft carrier. Up close. In 1976. Anchored outside port in western Australia. Impressive my family. Have seen them. Many times since but i live in South Africa. Now
Hope So
Noah's Ark would be proud of you.
134 ft isn't half of a football field....
Would not want to be in a tin can with huge waves.
God is Protecting us IN Jesus Name Amen

Of course not, Super Carriers are as heavy as mountains.
They said the same about the titanic
God himself can't sink a Navy Carrier!
Nuclear power ships
The ocean can sink ANY ship. Overconfidence is a weakness. Anyone remember the titanic? The “unsinkable “ titanic? If you know how torpedos work, then you’ll have some idea how waves can sink a ship. Its overall weight can be an issue.
Well, these ships are unsinkable under any ordinary means. The titanic had less than 20 sections that could be sealed off, and none of them had a lid. These ships have hundreds of sections that can be sealed off and all of them have lids. You could remove almost the entire hull and the ships wouldn't sink.
That is what they said about the titanic.
Yes anything made of metal will sink
So you're saying there weren't and boats, and people couldn't swim before Archimedes. Right. Got ya.
"that's almost as wide as a football field" NOT! A football field is 300 x 160. But then they show a picture of a soccer field. lol, editing errors are funny...
Its football in the rest of the world. American football should be called keep away.😂

Apparently one missile can 😊
This video is just a copy of a “Navy Productions” RUclips video…
Don’t be a thief!
Hmmm. Watertight compartments. Massive size. Unsinkable. Where have I heard that before? Perhaps we should hold off on the "can't sink" claim until one has made it through a Cat 5/200 mph wind velocity storm.
We Must Pray And Rely on God not Ourselves We Need Very Devoted Chaplains to Pray Every Day In Jesus Name Amen
Somebody discover buoyancy and they were boats that outdate them by hundreds of years 🤔🤷

A tidal wave hitting the front of a US super carrier will roll over the bow & the mega weight, that takes time to run off, will likely break it's back!!! Pure physics!!!
That's not how tidal waves work in the open ocean. Facts matter.
@@ripn929707 In open ocean a tidal wave is like an extended swell at massive speed! If facing the wave the bow will reef up at a jaring rate!
Then as the wave passes the middle of the wave the bow will crash down with enrmious force & likely submerge!
As it tries the rise back up the massive tonnage of water on the deck cant run off fast enough!!!
& this is not like some pissy little waves during a big storm!!!
If hit part side on the bow or stern will spin away & the ship will be side on forcing a possible roll!
Expect to lose all planes on deck & the ones in the hanger will break free to move down hill, adding to the roll!!!
@@RatusPretentious You watch too many movies. The massive tidal wave that hit Japan (2 of them) was rode right over by a medium size ship. The swell in deep water is nothing.the power is in the length of the swell. When it gets to shallow water it rises up, slows and gathers volume.... absolutely nothing you said is true.
@@ripn929707 Tidal waves in open sea look like very fast moving hump like swells! so 30'+ high & 60+ MPH is to be expected, as minimums!
They don't crest like waves till in shallow water! Due to bottom drag!!!
The Japan tidal wave had already entered shallow water & run up a narrow harbour funnel!
Breaking it into multiple smaller 15+' high waves!!! They returned to longer shallower form once the ran over land, where drag reduce the speed!!!
Tsunamis are not tidal waves, and have different behaviors. Facts matter.@@ripn929707
God: 🤣🤣🤣. Try me
When I was a semen, we were alot tougher than the semen of nowadays.
😂
A oil tanker has better engineering it has bigger balast tanks but both are for different applications but the oceans might is incredible
lmao....and the titanic was unsinkable.
😂😂😂 Yep, and that's why I said that anything is possible!
If only they had sealed the separate chambers. That engineering mistake has long be resolved.
You mean a ship that RIVETED together was able to sink? No waaaaay🤨 wake up that was over a century ago kid
Cheerleader? party pooper? WTF, I guess Naval fans aren't particularly science savvy so this kind of approach is required?
Hey....
I’m 18 & new to history or newly found the love of history. I asked my grandfather about this but he gave me an explanation I don’t think I can repeat....
Why do people throughout history give J€w$ a hard time? And do they deserve it….❔❓❔❓
Wtf did I watch...
"Why can't waves sink a ship"
The coffee is made with....
Ditch the computer narration and use real people !
I cannot take you serious with how you pronounce bow.
Not even a nuke could sink a US carrier
Can't....ok. Just to let you kmow...scripture is clear "every wave breaks at His command". Careful with them words.
I GIVE UP!!! FRICKING SEPTICS CANT PRONOUNCE EVEN SIMPLE ENGLISH WORDS!!!
The narrator is able to pronounce "bow" correctly when talking about the bow of the boat, but he references bulbous "bo" several times. Judas Priest, is no research or proof reading done before recording these vids...? Sheesh...
