Annapolis sinking

- Took seven years to prep and clear all the hurdles to sink Annapolis, but less than two minutes for her to disappear below the surface, and start the next chapter in her service.

I am sure everyone watching this in person had a great time, but I can’t cheer to this. Glad she’s serving a continued purpose now, but that old ship served well and deserved more respect for what she and her crews did for this country for so many decades.
Sleep well, old girl.
I shed a tear or two myself
Yeah she could've ended at the breakers down in Brownsville. Like the Kitty Hawk. 🤔😕
@@michaelmcclure8673 This was a Canadian ship. It would have been scrapped elsewhere.
Why must you kill a.ship turn it into a pleasure craft
No there's no better honor than what they're doing right now..to sink it.to celebrate,,this magnificent vessel,,to say job well done,, built to kill..now built to save..
It hurts a little to hear people cheer as that lady goes on her last ride.
Agree 100%. Especially if there may still be veterans who were still alive, and served in this warship, and their families. It would be extremely heartbreaking for them, as it was for me when I learned, well after the fact, that a ship that I was a commissioning crew member of, or a Plank Owner, had been decommissioned and used for a SINKEX.
I felt the Navy could have made some effort to locate all the Plank Owners, and at least let us know, as many of us are now, for various reasons disabled, and could be found thru the VA. But it is what it is.
@@WaterburnerActual sad to hear that. Hope you all have a better future ahead.
I'm not a seaman. But since I was little I love to read naval stories and novels. By reading authors like Douglas Reeman I have come to understand (at least a little) about the bond between a sailor and the ship. Come to see ships as a living thing. Not just a pile of metal. Something beautiful
@@sanjayawijenayake9851 At least she's now an Artificial Reef and supporting Marine Life! Much Better than what has happened to the last number of US Aircraft Carriers that were sold for $1 to be scrapped and in NavSpeak Slang: "Melted down into razor blades"
@@timengineman2nd714 yeah I get that and I'm all for it. That's a better fate than being used in nuclear weapons tests or anything. What I commented was on what the onlookers were doing. Cheering and things. To me as a person who loves ships this is like a funeral.
@@sanjayawijenayake9851 There of the ships I've served on have been "razor bladed", the other two are in foreign service (but will be "razor bladed" soon). 4 of the 5 Stations and Facilitates I've served at have been decommed, with 2 of them being bulldozed....
Sad, the 2 that were destroyed had special meaning to me. I hope I'm wrong on the 2 ships still afloat. And I hope that if possible that they become Artificial Reefs instead of Razor Blades!!!
She settled in such a beautiful and dignified manner.
That was an extremely well controlled sinking but some of the crowd and their remarks make me wonder whether they have much in the way of grey cells
"Oh my God, it's going dowwwwwn!"
@@chumblesthecheese8580 like thats the whole point lady😂😂😂😂😂😂
These people are just thick.
Well it looks like the only thing here going to the bottom is comedy
@@BeardedBavarianBiker. Since Annapolis was a Canadian ship and was sunk in Canada, it's a good chance that what you're hearing are west coast Canadians.
That’s a somber moment for me. A fine lady going to her final rest.
Not an occasion for horns, whistles and beer
I can see why the sinking of a vessel would be heartbreaking to the people who were a part of its history... But it's important to remember that these ships are starting a whole new life. What was once a tool of war, is now a foundation for creation and life. I think it's incredibly honorable for a ship to spend the rest of its days giving back to the waters she once sailed. It's certainly better than being scrapped or left to rust.
It be better for them to be museum ships
Sad to see her go. Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Wow...nice job of planning and rigging of the charges for her to go down so smooth. Well done!
😂😅
😂😅
Гибель корабля, слезы моряка.
Agreed. Always sad to see your ship go down.
"...a lady always knows when to leave..." and she went with grace.
You are right, but...♥️
A death is a death. She was built to fight, it's better to die during you fight. 🌹
She got stripped and then went down…😜
@@jimbutke655 as all ladies should
HMCS Annapolis Artificial Reef Gambier Island, Vancouver B.C. Former Navy destroyer slipped beneath the water in minutes after cutting charges fired
I know it's not a combat soldier dying, but this is a vessel that served it's country during a world war...in my opinion it deserves a much more reserved if not a full military sendoff......again just my opinion....
Sorry to disappoint you but ship was launched in Halifax NS around 1961. I was there at the launching as my best friend's father worked at the shipyard. It was one of the postwar St Laurent class destroyers.
@@ericripley9739 Well you burst his bubble, how dare you do that. Reality is hard.
Just did some further research. Annapolis was launched in 1963, not 61 as I thought. There was however a previous Annapolis acquired by Canada in 1940 from the USN as part of the lend-lease agreement. It served in WWII but didn't see any significant action. Was scrapped after the war.
@@ericripley9739 I guess the point I was trying to make is that if a ship was commissioned as an active navel vessel and saw any military service especially if it was involved in any wartime conflicts that it be sent to it's watery grave with a military send off...I believe that the sailors that were protected by her during those times would appreciate it as well....I'm not a nut case but I have always thought that's the correct way to honor her service to the nation that she served.....
@@johnreiter6664 Agree with you. Should have been respectfully sunk, without the " carnival " hoopla. Also hope you didn't think I was implying you are a " nut case" . I always try to respectfully answer people, even if I disagree or feel I have to correct them. ps. I have a special connection with Annapolis; I lived many years in Annapolis Royal and now in Cornwallis Park ( formerly HMCS Cornwallis). The first HMCS Annapolis was moored here ( for training) near the end of the war.
looks like a good ship sad to see it go really
She's now an artificial reef and supporting marine life! A more honorable end to her above water life than being melted down and made into razor blades!
The people here cheer because the ship has a new life and they worked hard to put it there. It’s not a solum occasion,it didn’t sink it was placed!
Think ww2 you are hundreds of miles out at sea, you take a torpedo, and that's how much time you have to get a life jacket, get out of the ship, find a life boat, get it launched, and grab water and supplies. You may even have been sound asleep, scary thought.
Sometimes they had less time than that!!!
Ships in WW2 wouldn’t have had holes cut in the hull, would have had the water tight doors shut so they took much longer to sink.
@@Smokeyr67 Tell that to the guys on the Indianappolis.
@@claytonvanthoff8889 well, she took 12 minutes to sink, 4 times longer than this vessel, and she was an exception to the rule, most took far longer to sink.
and while you are trying to get your stuff and get off the ship to survive, everyone else is doing the same. so you also have to get around them to get off while in the dark.
I would love to have one of the project models they made for tests.
meanwhile people are stealing metal out of your yard
Sinking to sleep in your "old home" is probably better than bearing the heat of the ship breakers torches...so there's that.
Seems awfully close to shore.
Be brilliant if these sunken ships could be revisited see how things have gone on since, albiet the shallower ones.
That is the intention and reason it was sunk where it was, so recreational divers can use it as an interesting spot to dive, over time it will become an artificial reef and a complete ecosystem of marine life will inhabit it making it a great place to dive.
They will become a diving site and a reef!
All these people asking why they sank it why don't they read the comments first ??
Yes definitely disappointed at the cheering. As Navy veteran wondering just what drives that type of response. Conclusion: Small mindedness and total lack of respect for anything of historical nature.
Question, do you guys think that sinking or scrapping is a better end for a ship?
In this case sinking, she now continues to serve in another valuable way.
@@bruceringrose7539 What do you mean?
My thoughts, unless there are secrets that need to be sunk
@@codelessunlimited7701 it is serving as an artificial reef and local dive attraction.
I think that artificial reefs are nice, but we have a finite amount of resources on this planet and sinking that much metal is on the wasteful side.
But either way I’m mostly fine with it as long as the remains are put to use.
Is there a lot of diving in Halkett Bay?
Cool video ...thanks .
Fishes -- guys we got a company, let's party tonight
Com tantos buracos, parece um barco russo.
I saw "Annapolis", and it scared me for a minute because I live in Annapolis, MD
We’re did they sink her
Looks like it didn't need much help. An old floating Lego.
I was on her back in 1976...she was based out of Halifax...didn't work on it I was a guest.
Mixed emotions. Glad they can do this sort of thing, but sad to see her go that way...
Anybody else want to cry watching this?
Deeper than it looks.
An instant fishing honey hole!😅
😳 why can't these people just keep their damned mouths SHUT?! Do they realize it is a Navy ship that is being sunk? Do they have any respect for the people that served on that ship and possibly died serving on it years ago?
Makes me sick...
I don't understand why the steel from these shops is not melted and reused...... I do understand that ships make great artificial reefs, but.......
I live in Annapolis Maryland & is this submerged somewhere near here? ❄️🌎❄️😶❄️
Annapolis Senior high 1986 here
@@88nlinus Saint Mary's High School 1976! ❄️🌎❄️
This doesn't look like Maryland, we don't have natural lakes either. A shore line like that remind me of the Severn river, but this can't be it. I assume near a Naval base elsewhere in the states. I wondered if this is will eventually be used for training divers.
This was a Canadian naval ship on the west coast of Canada. She sits in about 45’ of water off Gambier island. She was sunk to create a artificial reef for divers to dive on and enjoy the undersea beauty she has created.
Lol the guy right after the lady said its going down! said raise it up! pffftt
I think this is dignified. A second purpose for the ship, wether it be for fish to spawn or divers to enjoy, I'd support this much more than a scrapyards profits. Where did this take place?
What's This About Cheering On Ship Sinkings?-That's It's More Fun To Watch Them Than To Be On One?!
That's funny it says this ship was scrapped in 1946ish?
How deep is that water it sure looks close to shoreline
Why so close to shore
I had no idea where this was until I heard the “whooping” yanks, Americans would cheer the opening of an envelope.
Well good thing about planning and wrecking these old relics is the good thing they can preserve Life as a artificial reef
How deep is the water I wonder
They shouldve turned it into a museum?
Why so close to the shore?
Not the same without the sharks and the PBY
Wrong ship
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 13 Jun 22.
Man that went down quick
where was this sunk?
It was sunk in Halkett Bay on Gambier Island, British Columbia
Why sinking it salvage it? Renovation for apartments on water??
How many survivors ?
Where is HMCS Annapolis is a reef in BC waters
How deep is the water?
Why did they sink it? 😢
Artificial reef. Probably because she was decommissioned, too old. So instead of the breaker’s yard, she’s becoming a home for the fishes.
laziness!!
Ok, didn't realize the water was so deep
The only thing missing was interior cameras
Not Annapolis Md...Name of Ship
So easy to see being painted white against a Forrest, sitting duck.
Canadian navy new submarine
To bad Trudy wasn't on this ship.
@@PoutinePete too bad most political leaders weren’t on it, but alas, they weren’t and now we have to live with ourselves for not killing all the politicians jus because we don’t like their supporters.
Is diving so boring that you have to make artefacts to make it interesting? It feels like the windmill on a miniature golf course. As for creating an artificial reef, yeah it works, but this one is so damn close to the shore I bet there’s plenty of natural reefs. It’s just an extravagant way to make a tourist trap, nothing less.
Location?
And why are we sinking this ship? Couldn't it be rehabbed? What a shame!
People actually sink ships for wreck diving sites, to create artificial reefs to stimulate oceanic environmental growth, and as professional, as well as commercial, training sites
Couldn't your grandparents be rehabbed?
.......and the sea shall give up the dead
Was this a Naval Academy training ship???
No I guess it was a Canadian ship of the line from the comments!
E3-E4-E5.... Battleship sunk!
Did anybody else notice it flexing by the conin Tower
Junking up the waters.
I would be happy if that is the flying dutchman but it's not :'( . So sad!
It was sunk exactly near the land, why is so deep here?
Because......
It's only 45 foot deep!!
А чего эти люди вопят от радости так , будто в лотерею миллион выиграли ?
Yes you are right America is full of morons
Because they are bored and ignorant people.
because they have no clue
They are celebrating the artificial reef and the diving adventures that are being created
People are really weird
Why did they sink it there.
For a artificial reef and so divers can enjoy it! It will be a great help to fish and a great dive!!!
Why sink it?
For a artificial reef and a diving platform! She will be something in a couple years and will help the fish big time!!!
2:10 gone bye bye.
Why to not recycle
It is.
😇😇😇
Why there?
usually to form an artificial reef
We’re was it sunk
you don't just sink ships in the sea
I’m subscriber 379🦄
What a shame. I would've bought it and cruised through the ocean.
Lol not with diesel at 6.90 a gallon you wouldn't...but I wish you could have, cool old boat
Tragic loss of life.
Can't remember the name of the Aircraft Carrier that was sold for scrap for a dollar, I could've given them a hundred bucks and towed it 1000 miles or so between California and Hawaii , and have my own Country since its in international waters, it will serve as Shipstops for ocean sailing vessels for food supply ,rest, emergency of whatever, its got an Airport, a Machine shop, a Hospital, a Restaurant, hundreds of rooms to accommodate guests, and a dry dock, Who's with me : )
I don't understand why did they do it.Couldn't they find a different finish for the ship?
Ferro sprecato. Che si poteva recuperare.
This is like civilization chess, we make moves to try beat ourselves in the near future. Cant believe dropping thousands of tonnes of steel covered in marine repellent paint into a pristine natural environment is touted as great environmental conservation work these days..
the paint is stripped, as well as any other contaminates. She's nothing but bare steel
@@Saanonymous80 looks like its painted to me. Maybe they make raw steel in faded teal these days 😄. But yeh sure, totally perfect condition to be dropped into the bay.
Yet the marine growth covers her quickly and life flourishes all over her.
The surrounding environment is actually healthier because she is there.
Enjoy your computer and tv and cell phone and car and house.
Oh great ignorant savior.
@@wcresponder wowww. that touched a nerve, you in the ship scrapping business? Or full time internet troll 😂 I have a few spare cars outside, going to go push them into my nearest pristine marine environment and inform the coast guard that it is a gift for the animals 😂 think you need to get out of your arm chair if you think the best thing for a natural environment to thrive is a decommissioned war ship being dropped on top of it.
@@zimbab5748 Yeah you proved you are truly that stupid.
Parabéns pelo vídeo, já estou escrito. Canal Regueira drones
Now That's How You Scuttle A Ship!
This could have been recycled for scrap to feed 100 villages for 2 years sob ..
It's sad when they sink period!
Malah di tenggelamkan di potong² dijual jadi besi tua kan lumayan
Like looking at a firing squad execution.
Sad.
中国の違法操業船拿捕して、これくらい事を日本政府にして欲しいわ。
強硬姿勢を見せたら怖くてもう来ないと思うな。
Oh my God!!
What a waste of steel.🙄
Why they have not demolish this ship to use the parts for other ship?
