      Q: Can submarine-launch Tomahawks carry a nuclear warhead?
      If so, this would amplify the US nuclear deterrent beyond current Ohio class boomers.

      So you see the TASM cresting the horizon. You acquire him and he just acquires you right back. And that's when the attack comes-- not from the front, but from the side, from the other two TASMs you didn't even know were there. Because TASM is a pack hunter, you see; he uses coordinated attack patterns, and he is out in force today.- Admiral Alan Grant, probably.

    I was also on a 688 class submarine as the reactor operator. My son is currently a JO on a submarine. The LA Class was very quiet, especially with some additions in the early 1980s. All I would say is that we should increase the production to three per year for the next ten years… Just as a note, while we have ordered 35+ VA Class, we only have a little over 20 active.

  • @sempermilites87
    @sempermilites87 5 месяцев назад +11

    One thing I noticed on the Chinese boats is that their bow section is being shared by both the torpedo tubes and the sonar dome. Doesn't this make their sonar capability less than the American boats where their torpedo tubes are set a bit further back so the entire bow is saved for the sonar?

    • @billyparker5974
      @billyparker5974 5 месяцев назад +3

      Chinese boats use a cylindrical array/hull array. The US uses spherical arrays primarily(some Virginia's were built with hull arrays). The more important sonar sensor is the towed array.

    • @HauntedXXXPancake
      @HauntedXXXPancake 5 месяцев назад +4

      That's at least how it used to be.
      With cutting-edge sonars (as i understand it),
      you're no longer constrained by specific array shapes.
      Essentially, as long as your Computer knows where a sensor is and in what direction it's pointing,
      it can combine it with the data from its brothers to form a picture.
      Thus you can "just" plaster the inside of your bow with them.
      However, you still can't have a sensor and a torpedotube in the same place,
      so some loss of potential is probably unavoidable if you divide that prime real-estate.
      I'm a layman though, so ...

    Great episode. Brings back memories of 9 fast attacks simultaneously under construction at Newport News back in the mid-eighties, with three carriers being built outside.

    Hi. I’m Canadian. As a grad student in the early 90’s, I worked for a university think tank, a brain trust of the Canadian government, was awarded a low level security clearance, and tasked with seeing if the tech in the “Hunt for Red October” was publicly available, the question being, did Tom Clancy have access to classified info… stupid project, but learned much and work led to further job prospects. Point is, astonishing how far tech has come since then. Also, impressed by this analysis, sound reasoning and purposeful use of available facts. Becoming big fan of channel.

      IIRC, Clancy was fascinated with the tabletop game Harpoon, which he credited with most of his research. Hunt for Red October was originally a scenario for Harpoon for wargaming conventions.
      There are many anecdotes about naval personnel seeing Harpoon and freaking out.
      His books featured a high-level information source codenamed Cardinal. The CIA got scared because they had a high-level information source codenamed Top Hat, and talked to him. After Top Hat died, Clancy told the story. Of course, it was just a coincidence.

      @@OpenGL4ever I don’t know for sure, but pretty sure he didn’t. My task was to verify if the tech and tactics could be verified by publicly available documents. Just about everything was… a few things I couldn’t verify, (which could have indicated “yes”), but could also have been just reasonably inferred or made up. I wasn’t privy to higher up analytics. Like I said, pretty stupid project.

    Several commenters asked what was better SSN 21 Class or Virginia Class. They are two different designs for two different purposes. SSN 21 is the ultimate blue water hunter/killer. It has eight Torpedo tubes and can load our 48 or 50 heavyweight torpedoes. Virginia is multi-mission. It has a nine man lock out trunk for special missions. It has two large diameter ocean interface tubes (redesigned Trident missile tubes) to support unmaned vehicles and special ops.

    I have a question, Wikipedia says the Arleigh Burke, Flight 3 has no ship to ship missiles. I find that very hard to believe. Surely it has some anti-ship missiles in it's stack ready to go.

    So, when I was on a US sub 20 plus years ago, that was already a 20 plus year old design, the Russians gave the Chinese the same type of sound deadening tech we on my boat.
    I'm sure it is better than what they had before, but I'm positive it's not anything like the US has now.
