- How Does a Submarine Fire a Torpedo?
Usually torpedoes are kept already in the tubes (to make attacking fast).
At any depth the sea pressure prevents the muzzle door from opening. To offset this external pressure an equal pressure is obtained within the tube by admitting water from a tank and then opening a valve to the sea to equalize the pressure.
When the tube is flooded, the muzzle door can be opened and the torpedo is ready to fire. In actual practice the tube is flooded from tanks within the ship rather than the sea itself.
The compressed air valve is opened and the torpedo is ejected from the tube. The air is not permitted to completely fill the tube, but is vented off inboard so that a bubble does not escape into the sea and rise to the surface giving away the position of the submarine.
The compressed air is shut off and the tube fills with sea water. This offsets the lost weight of the torpedo and keeps the submarine in trim.
The muzzle door is then shut and a valve to a drain tank is opened to allow the tube to drain. The breech door can now be opened and the tube reloaded.

My left ear appreciates the new found knowledge
As does mine
Well stated sir!
I think my right ear would have enjoyed this knowledge more
my right ear vibed with the wubzzz and enjoyed it lol
ROFL... I only had my left ear on, so I could hear my wife if she called... I was like... that is the QUIESTEST speaking I've ever heard... then I saw your comment.
Props to who ever came up with this
torpedoes aren't armed and loaded into tubes just for the hell of it. they are only armed and loaded at elevated readiness states.
Why aren't some kept in the tubes without water?
Pretty cool on how it catches its own bubbleies. Never thought of that, because I figured how far could you actually see it? How often do submarines fire point blank.
Absolutely!! Retired U.S. Navy Torpedoman's Mate!!
Believe half of what you hear and half of what you see. This statement is partially correct!!
The Torpedoes are stored and strapped down in the forends compartment.
You don't want one them rattling about in a tube when you're trying to run silent.
I slept on one for three months in final phase of training 😂
Also a good place to stow the beer 😂
We DO NOT sail the seas with a fish in any tubes.
If action is anticipated, the crew goes to battlestations and tubes are made ready upon order from the CO.
Only then we load tubes.
Unfortunately these shorts put out a bunch of misinformation. There aren’t many of us that had the pleasure of poking holes in the ocean. MT-2(SS). Submarine Service from 1979 to 1986.
Thank you.. not all torpedoes are equal. They can be selective too.
In the 1980s during the Cold War on an Ohio Trident Sub, we always had a warshots in one of the 4 tubes ready to fire.
My left ear enjoyed this video
Those of us that played Seawolf as a kid will always remember that if you keep torpedoes in a tube flooded with water for too long, it will eventually have a "hot run" inside the tube because the torpedo propellant has a powerful chemical reaction with water.
"hot run"? Ignoramus here.
? Are you really applying that to todays torpedoes? Read a book.
@@kylebieth3678 Even the Seawolf class had problems with hot running torpedoes. They are pretty modern. The USA has had a bad history of problematic torpedoes. During the first half of America's involvement in WW2, most of the submarine launched torpedoes would not detonate on a direct hit and the US Navy refused to believe the reports from the Submarine captains that there was something seriously wrong with the torpedoes, for years into the war. So for the first part of WW2, most American torpedoes bounced off ships with a loud CLAAANG~ sound. So they had to launch more than twice as many torpedoes that should be needed to sink the ship because more than half wouldn't detonate on impact due to faulty magnetic field detonators. And the reason we used Mag Field detonators is because pressure / impact detonators can only be launched at shallow water depths for obvious reasons or you're going to have a bad day.
The Silent Service! 🏁🇺🇲🙏👍🖖
The torpedos are NOT kept in the damn tube!!!
Sometimes they are. Note that the animation shows a wire-guided torpedo.
did akula have some torps already stored in external tubes?
Interesting
Muzzle door? How about the outer door. Torpedoes are not stored in the tube.
So how many other current or former SS Qualified are watching this short and picking it apart?
My left ear is now the Kaleun of this submarine.
no matter how it's done we need these people i'm sure they know what to do
Submarines are wild.
That's all damn well thought through.
Thank you! We were engaged in an undersea battle in this submarine we found, but for the life of us, we couldn’t get that door to open.
Damn, the torpedoes!
😯
I spent more time than I’d care to admit trouble shooting my earbuds.
Water can't be compressed, so why is it important to equalize the pressure once it's been flooded?
So that there isn’t a pressure differential between the inside of the tube and the ocean. The same principle also applied to the missile tubes. The difference between torpedo tubes and missile tubes is that the torpedo tubes were flooded with seawater and then pressurized and missile tubes were pressurized with nitrogen.
I hope the thing about the bubble is true cause that sounds like a good idea
How the hell did they figure this out
Engineering
Thinking
German Science and Engeneering
Probably a lot of trial and error as well
Watching "Voyage To The
Bottom Of The Sea"
Perfect!! Tell EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, this is pretty common knowledge amongst the people that would ever want to know this.
Cool your jets, bro. That's not enough info to sigh off a midshipman's card.
Smart
How/when is the wire attached? How does this affect loading more torpedoes?
So we out here attacking each other with bombs on string?
Wire-guided weapons? Oh hell yeah, since at least WWII, where have _YOU_ been?
Who makes this crap up? Like how many regulations would keeping torpedos in launch tubes break?😂
Every day!!!!

If only ai wasn't teaching this.
US attack submarines are able to completely discharge all their torpedoes in no fewer than 5 minutes and no more than 10.
They only fish in the tubes are nuclear warheads in the ssbn's, PT boats do not load their fish until they have move with intent to seek action. Destroyer's cruiser's battleships, Aircraft carriers do not load any tubes until action is anticipated. And it's a major pain in the tail to unload a hot tubes. Submarines do not load conventional torpepost.Until general quarters has been sounded in action stations maned. It takes less time to load a torpedo into the torpedo tube.Then it does to calculate the fire insulation.In fact that the best of my knowledge at no time has a captain had to ask.Are the tubes ready yet. Furthermore only an idiot would travel with hot fish inthe tube even even though it takes two keys to release any weapon. There is the possibility of damage to the torpedo. Even old mark 54's, which used heated alcohol, could only stay in the tube for about 20 minutes.Then they had to be cycled out and the alcohol reheated and the battery recharged. In the first months of war war two in the pacific. It was not uncommon for an aggressive submarine commander you have two of the tubes loaded with a nerd torpedo's torpedo's that have not been ready for action so that he had two extra fish to fire at japanese targets. The reason for this quite honestly was the reliability of the torpedo's detonators.They would impact the japanese ships and fail to go boom which is not a good thing for a submarine. There were several ships that fired all of their torpedos plus the 2 extra. They took along with them in a single engagement and not one of them exploded. Although miraculously, the torpedo did hit with enough force to Pierce into the side of the Japanese ship, forcing it to go back to the ship, you are get to repeat or removed safed and the hole repair.. But an active torpedo was never left at rest in the tubu. Because the alcohol is dangerous and propeller.What cool?Turning back to a liquid and making the torpedo unable to function unless it was reheated and then LAUNCHED. MOST TORPEDOS USE STEAM TO Assist the torpedo and being launched. The only thing this idiot has gotten RIGHT IS that torpedo's go in the tubes.
Flood the torpedoes
Do nuke subs even carry torpedoes? Or just missiles
Yes they do. They have to be able to defend themselves.
Are there any countries that fire torpedoes by putting compressed air in the torpedo tube?
I think that's the normal way to eject the torpedo out of the tube, and then the torpedo propulsion kicks in.
@@ke6gwfIt's not the way it worked when I was a torpedoman 50 years ago.
@@xbubbleheadso, you forced me to check my sources, and I have reason to believe that your personal experience is accurate lol
It looks like they use water to eject it, though the water is generally powered by compressed air, but in a way that the air doesn't escape, is that more accurate with current subs?
@@ke6gwfSince it's been over half a century that I was on a sub, I can't say what has changed, but back then there was a long cylinder in the torpedo room that had a piston with water on one side and an air chamber on the other. Compressed air introduced in the air side caused the piston to push the water into the tube and eject the torpedo. When the piston reached the end of its run, it triggered a release of the pressurized air from the cylinder into the torpedo room and the piston returned to its resting state ready for the next use. Made a lot of noise as it cycled through the process, though. The newer torpedoes at the time were those that "swam" out on their own power without the need for ejection and it may be that all modern torpedoes are like that.
@@xbubbleheadawsome!
you lost this submariner in the first sentence
but what happens with the "guide wire" ?
The torpedo can be steered to the target via signals sent through the wire. Once the torpedo acquires the target the wire can be cut and the torpedo will home in on the target by itself.
@@ssmt2 thanks , that seems logical.
Outer Door!!! (Not "Muzzle Door!)
Really. Not on our boat. How would you know what to load. Also we often detect other sub at over 100km plenty time to load. (Especially Russian boats). And we NEVER put HP air in the tube.
lots of inaccuracy and missed details.
Where does the wire go?
Submarine-torpedo they are wire guided
@@Krzemieniewski1 yeah. For sure. I'm not a sub guy and always wondered where does the spent wire go? I guess the wire is attached to the back of the tube door. Afterwards does the sub just drag the wire?
There's a crank they use to reel it back in so they can use it on the next toepedo.
My right ear does not appreciate the video.
Total rip off of 'Smarter Every Day" they used their diagram. And I can only assume they stole from other channels too.
Kinda like a big fart..
The design is bad and they should feel bad.
Submarines are boats, not ships
Who cares
Piss off
Isreal loves missles and money
Missiles* also any country would so idk what you're trying to say
Hamas loved missiles. That's why they bragged about firing 35,000 missiles into Israel over a decade.
Unfortunately, they keep getting free missiles from terrorists. So they need their own missiles to eliminate the threat.
Everyone loves money. It is certainly not unique to Israel.
