In this episode I'm exploring an abandoned warship located on a naval ship cemetery with Vera.
This warship got decommissioned in 2019 and got towed to this cemetery in 2020.
In this episode you see how we venture to this ship and explore the most interesting parts like the engine rooms, bridge, combat information center, torpedo room, missile loading rooms and many more.

Vera was a delight, her chill-out energy fit perfectly with this exploration, please invite her on more episodes!
We need more VERA!!! She’s awesome!!!
I let her know😇
I think he wants her phone number. LOL
I like the way she walks and the way she talks! Yes I will!
@@johndunn4228 I get her phone number first! LOL
PHUKING-SIMP😂😂😊
The absolute amount of work to build one of these ships is mind blowing. You would expect more than 30 years service life out of these.
Not really. They get beaten up pretty well over their life. And technology moves on.
@@rickeys maintenance is key. Stuff can be updated. Look how many fixtures wiring fittings there are on that ship. I would like to see at least a 50 year service life.
All the tech can be replaced if just designed so. The tonnes of steel produced creates a many tonnes more emissions and even this hull could still serve as anything. No it's just doing nothing.
@@vicmac3513 The forces upon the hull are dynamic. That leads to flex, which affects the properties of the steel. Uneven strain hardening can lead to cracks. It may well be that the cost to refit the ship with newer technology isn't worthwhile if the hull is too far towards end-of-life.
Remember, navies don't want to use ships until they literally fail. They'll want to decommission and strike them prior to reaching the point where they fail during peacetime conditions. It can also be that a given type proves disproportionately expensive to maintain or operate, and thus retirement before end of life due to simple economics.
With all that Asbestos that ship was done.
Vera is the best assistant explorer you have ever worked with!
I’d like to explore Vera with you
STOP YA PHUKIN-SIMPING😂😂
Wow a whole hour, this was very exciting thank you Bob and Vera
Excellent episode! Amazing how clean that ship looks in the inside.
Abandoned for just 3 years.
@@BilisNegra Even if it's abandoned for a decade, not much will change!
It’s amazing how fast the paint starts flaking off. If it was only decommissioned 3 years ago😮
No heat
Yep no heat and a moist atmosphere strips paint within a year ✌
Very cool to see! I'm prior US military and I'm surprised how open that ship was for you. Retired US ships are very guarded! I also noticed how many panels and labels on that ship were in English. Overall, A++
The ships present in this ship graveyard of Landévennec are more than just retired ships. These hulls are stripped of all military equipment and polluting substances before to be sent there. This yard is their ultimate step before scrapping. Even if French Navy doesn't allow people to visit them, it must consider that it is not worth guarding such almost empty hulls.
It’s France, you can easily explore something that’s said to be “off-limits” (I’m French so ik what I’m saying)
It scares me that people have access to military ships.... prior service I know what this guy is doing should land them in prison... yes???
That ship is really clean inside! Whish the ships I was stationed on looked like that! The black thing is not a life raft, it is a "fender" used to protect the ship's hull when a barge or other ship is brought alongside.
Yeah because it was decommissioned in 2019 4 years ago
I always knew you were carrying a fair amount of gear, but God damn, seeing it all laid out like that really puts it into perspective. Awesome channel Bob, keep up the good work.
Yeah.. even without food and water😂 It’s always a hassle with the gear
This place is on my list for a long time, these ships are amazing😍Thank you for showing us so many details of it! It must have been a crazy task for every department of the ship to cooperate and operate the ship.
It was funny when you were lurking after the fishermans with the periscope😅
where is it?
Fantastic explore guys, much better than most T.V. programmes showing inthe U.K.
Cheers Bob take care in the future......
this explore was so cool!!! man after my heart Bob with all the control rooms, mechanical and electrical stuff. excellent job.
Yes! The engine and control rooms in this one were crazy😍
Great explore, Bob and Vera 👍🏻😃
it is very interesting those ships to look on the inside , thank you Bob and vera i loved it😃👌see you next week
Awesome exploration Bob. Never ceases to amaze me where you'll end up next!!
Oh at 30:12 that Rolls Royce sticker denotes the ship's main powerplant; 2 Rolls-Royce Olympus TM3B gas turbine engines. Rated to produce 26,000 hp (19,388 kW) each.
The RR Olympus was also used in our RAF's Cold War era Avro Vulcan bomber AND the infamous Concorde SST.
And the hms invincible, hms ark royal and hms illustrious. I believe they had 4 each.
There's nothing "infamous" about B.A.C Aerospatiale Concorde, famous yes, with the tragic loss of just the one aircraft, Concorde, despite being at the cutting edge of flight during it's service, remains the safest passenger aircraft of all time.
Thanks for your info mate!
do you need a key to start them up?
@@Blacknight1812 bit more than a key.
Wow amazing content Bob! I am very much looking forward to your vol 3 photo book!
Another amazing exploration! I think one of the reasons French Navy does not scrap those ships all at once is because they are full of asbestos. Navy budget only allows them to scrap one every few years. Also the doors were sealed with silicon to prevent water ingress, they also sealed the big helicopter garage doors with PU foam. That's the reason the ship is not rusting inside. Many of the parts missing were used as spares, but most are probably classified military technology, so they need to be destroyed at the end of it's service life (even outdated tech).
Was the French Navy still using Asbestos in the mid 80's when this was built? I know the US was on a remediating spree during that time on their older vessels and newer ones were constructed without it.
Vera is the best companion for the trips !!!
🔥Your content is totally the best man!
Amazing work once again and a great team,you take us to places we’d never see💥❤
Thanks! An amazing Fukushima series coming up soon
A very nice explore loved watching it guys.
unbelievable lost place!!! super video of the style and the picture quality!
better than some documentaries on tv 💪🏻👍
I have no words…
Amazing job guys!!!
That looked like a real adventure. You are a good team. I served on a Type 12 frigate, so I found this video interesting. Thank you.
Respect ! You earned your "likes" going up & down that anchor-chain ! Thanks - great video
I really enjoyed your gear inventory. Amazing how much you have to haul. Thanks for taking us along.
Yes, it’s always a hassle to drag it all with me😂
I hope you had fun with her, good place is the engine room.
wonderful video bob, thanks for all the information.
Great video like always,love the hour long episode! Also a very very smart move for not going down that confined space!! That gas you cant smellcould take you out in 10secs!
Congrats on another great episode! Keep it up Bob:))
Great video Bob, you have the best picture. Thanks much.
Awesomeness!!! So cool 😎 thanks for sharing
Vera seems to be really into checking stuff out like this.. Plus she brings a little Sunshine with her in the way of her personality... Great video Bro , really enjoyed the travel with you two . You guys need to do another video together.. 👍
EXTRA trip!!!! Thanx Bob.
This is your best explore yet! Does Vera have an explore channel?
Thanks for sharing your explorations with us! Very interesting!
Great video Bob! The whole “atmosphere” was pleasant too, and it was nice to see you guys actually enjoying yourselves the whole time, and in good spirits! Cool place too, especially with the ease of access and lack of security. Also, for a boat retired at 33 years, whatever was left of the interior equipment was in quite good (if not excellent) condition! Your friend/assistant seemed like quite the acrobat too (and button pusher)… 😂
A nice little explore and great place to do it!
Thanks a lot Mike! It’s always quite an adventure to go there. A new Fukushima series coming up
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Cool beans!
Great episode Bob sorry I couldn't stay to finish the live episode it was late here. Last week's time was better. Thank you for doing these shows it is very interesting take care and stay well.
Thanks as always Bill!
Once again, a really cool exploration!
Thank you so much for the amazing content and hard work.
Great footage my friend. You always force limits
I adore abandoned exploration and naval history so these ship adventure video's are just amazing to me. Thanks for sharing. Also wish Vera and yourself a wonderful holiday and a healthy new year.
Have you seen my recent explore to a Soviet aircraft carrier too? And thanks, same to you Mitchell ! 😇
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath That video was superb!
That was fun to watch. You two are quite the explorers.
Just take fun by watching, they fun practically 😁😉
Hello Bob my dear and beautiful friend, WHEW!! finally made it to the end I'm a little claustrophobic, but enjoy watching your videos it's amazing love it showing us places I've never been or seen waiting for next one 🤗😍
wow that was great, love your content bob !
Very cool Exploration! Vera’s personality is addictive and cute 😂🎉
Thanks a lot for checking out!
Cool video and cool explore of the ship it’s almost like going to a museum or it could almost be turned into a actual museum.
An other epic adventure! Thank you!
Nice explore again Bob! @24:49 is not a rescue boat, it is called a "Fender", you could lower them while mooring the ship to protect the hull against they quay or another ship :)
Good to see your set up and so much “LED Lenser” lighting I’ve used them for 10 years now working night shifts on rail track maintenance and days spent underground exploring can’t fault them.
Awesome explore like always 👏
Já deixado meu like 👍🏻😃👏 ótimo vídeo 👏👏👏 top demais mesmo 😃
Fantastic exploration!!!
beautiful explore wow and nice mate
Nice exploration...all you needed was the ghost of a sailor walking around at night to make it even better!!
Nice exploration video. The complexity of the ship is incredible, no wonder military equipment can cost so much and often has issues. I was nervous about that little inflatable boat you were using, I just imagined it springing a leak. I hope you and Vera are both strong swimmers.
I used to swim to these vessels on my first explores there! But there's a strong current so not really recommended.
Very surprising the RR Olympus engines were still in place. They are pretty valuable as they are used for power generation and gas pipeline pumping.
Love this spot! So cool.
I spent 11 years in the U.S. Navy and sailed on four ships. U.S.S. Ouellet F.F. 1077 was similar. This video was fun. I didn't have to serve aboard this ship.
Great video. You take huge risks. Vera was quite incredible. I wish we could have seen how the sailors lived and slept. Their rooms the captains rooms. Did I miss that part? Keep safe in your adventures.
Wow..I like Vera !...bring her back pls
Bellissima esplorazione, è tutto incredibilmente pulito in quella nave! Un saluto dall'Italia!
Awesome video! 🪖💩
It was remarkably clean inside except for the odd bit of flaking paint. Great video.
U 2 are soo funny an get along very well ,,that's great..
Love it when you visit military ships and aircraft!
Imagine what Humanity could have achieved without all the war.
Абсолютно ничего!
How do you only have 456k subs? Should be many times that!
J’ai travaillé sur ce modèle de bateau pendant des années, ma spécialité était ces fameuses turbines Rolls-Royce Olympus (les mêmes que sur le concorde) une vraie machine de compétition qui consommait 7 tonnes a l’heure à fond et permettait de prendre 35 noeuds !! Un grand moment pour les régler au tournevis ;) Merci pour la vidéo ça m’a rappelé de bons souvenirs :)
J'etais sur le primauguet dans les années 1990 et je m'occupais d'alimenté en gazole la soute alimentaire (J220) , c est sur que sous turbine a gaz avec AVANT 30 ,l 'epuratoire a gazole avait du mal a suivre , donc alimentation par les pompes . j ai vu au maximun de sa vitesse a 31 noeuds mais je pense qu il etait capable de monter a plus de 35 noeuds avec une modification.
What a Spot! 😍 And a fun mission to get on to🔥
AMAZING ONE!!!
You both are so Brave❤❤❤
Surprising to see that they left the Sintra equipment. Should be collectable. Not to mention those super Rolls Royce turbines.
Leuk je even gesproken te hebben bij Warface, keep up the good work! 😎
Yes! Wie weet tot ziens op een ander festival😇
Pew-pew! Can't stop laughing! What a great time, you 2 were great!
Its so interesting, I love the way is not plagiarize. Thank you
Crazy location bro, straight up ship graveyard, and not completely stripped out like they would be in the Balkans 😆 especially those RR engines, man they looked like they would still crank
It was nice! Time for some Croatian navy vessels.. but I guess they just have patrol boats?
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I saw one of the ones they were using currently from the ferry one day, it looked like it was from WW1. Probably coal powered
You should carry some of that flex seal tape. That works good! That air pump mooing was hysterical😹🤣
Hahah glad you liked it Brenda!😇 A new amazing Fukushima series is coming up
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Looking forward to seeing it!
Sounds brilliant.
Super interesting. I'm imagining being 10 years old and playing in the ship, lol. Good vid.
51:10: The played Silent Hunter 1 countless times on that console without ever getting a software-upgrade or a patch for it. Up until they coincidentially found out that in these recent years, in which they lived on that ship, 4 other versions of Silent Hunter were released. Then they decommissioned the whole ship out of sheer disappointment combined with a lot of anger.
Luv the kefiyah good job vera
Great video 🍻
Vera makes a great companion! We need more adventures with Vera ✌️
In the CIC, the sub pics on the wall were probably actual foreign submarines that the vessel detected. Also, the console "mouse" is actually called a trackball.
Ever think about being on any old ship; lead paint, asbestos issues on a ship, beside toxic mold. I love what you do but safety needs to be there, like a N95 Mask!
the cylinder heads on these older marine engines are very valuable, manufactures no longer making new castings so the only way to find a new cylinder head is by buying a used one or finding new (old stock) replacements which is nearly impossible. they likely were removed for another navy ship that is still in use.
Now the heck with watching them falling stars I would on the tailgate of a right & proper old vintage truck showing Vera how we play hide the weasel!!!!!
Love your work guys 👍🏻
Thanks! Don’t forget to check next Sunday’s episode. Crazy solo mission to an abandoned aircraft carrier🤩
Thanks Bob!!
LOL I got a little cameo in this episode with the BBQ story. Good times 😛
Great stuff
Glad I’m not the only guy to have taken my girlfriend - now wife - inside a Rolls-Royce Olympus module though the ship (Ark Royal) was very much in service at the time. Great explore.
The mounts were not for guns but for navigational aids. They are called Pelorus. They are used to take bearings on other vessels or fixed objects. it’s like a compass with a sight.
Keep your shipmate!
amazing. greetings from Argentina.
Awesome!!
Awesome 👌
Great explore and a whole hour long! 👍
First thing I wanted to ask for a while: Whats the name of the feline saboteur of your inflatable boat? 😅
Its interesting that they went for dual propulsion with marine gas turbines and diesel engines - I suppose the diesel engines were mainly used to navigate ports and also served as a backup.
The submarine silhouettes on the bulkhead might be score marks, as in foreign submarines they detected and tracked at some point. Sort of like pilots marking their jet fighters with little plane silhouettes to show off their training/combat kills.
Also interesting is the periscope on the bridge. The only other warships I was aware of having periscopes are actual WW2 battleships, inside the armored conning tower because there was no other way to see whats going on outside during a battle - live video cameras did not exist back in the day.
I can answer the dual propulsion bit. Lot of Navy ships use Combined Diesel and Gas (CODAG), where the Diesel engines will bring the ship up to its crusing speed, normally around 15 knots with a fairly small fuel consumption, and then use the Gas Turbines to bring the ship up to its full speed/above 15 knots for high speed maneuvers, fast transit, and anything else that requires faster speeds. However the Gas Turbines burn a lot more fuel.
@@randomcode99 I was checking out this class of ship in particular, they are CODOG (Deisel OR Gas), Not CODAG. So this ship can use either Diesel OR Gas, not both simultaneously like a CODAG.
@@phillxor Yeah I meant to put CODOG in, as that is the much more common type as it's a lot cheaper and simpler to have the diesel and turbines engage a fixed ratio, instead of having to switch the diesel to a higher ratio to avoid blasting through its rpm limits. Unfortunately I had CODAG on the mind as we were discussing them at work.
You two enjoy and cherish this time together. In a blink you will be watching these videos with grey in your hair and a tear in your eye. Not to be a wet blanket, just enjoy the hell out of these times. My wife and I have been married for over 30 years now and you both remind me of us it's uncanny. Cheers ! Todd and Ronda K.
