  • During World War II, submarines became increasingly important. From the Cold War on, they could even destroy the earth with nuclear missiles.
    Submarines today are highly complex machines, crammed with technology and weapons. As impressive as their construction is, as terrifying is their destructive power. Hardly any other weapon triggers as many emotions as the submarine. It strikes from ambush and can use nuclear missiles to drag the whole world into the abyss. Its camouflage is its greatest potential.
    The Nazis celebrated the submarine as a miracle weapon. The myth of invincibility has clung to them ever since. Submariners were glorified as heroes by Nazi propaganda. The reality in the Second World War was different: Two thirds of the submariners lost their lives during the missions. The advent of the atomic age also opened up completely new possibilities for the submarine weapon. Nuclear propulsion allowed almost unlimited diving times and a completely new weapon system with ballistic missiles on board. Thus, nuclear submarines became a constant threat in the world's oceans during the Cold War and still are today.
    At the same time, submarines are associated with terrible tragedies. The sinking of the Kursk, in which 118 men died in dramatic fashion, is anchored in the collective memory as a trauma. Despite or perhaps because of their danger, submarines have always fascinated us.
    Episode 2 shows the development of the submarine in the Second World War until today. The documentary undertakes an exciting and multi-faceted journey through history. Submariners, historians and military experts put the events into context.

    Many years ago during my time as a yacht delivery skipper, we were dealing with a rising gale out in the Western Approaches. Myself and one of the crew were struggling with getting the mainsail down, being rolled and pitched every which way while at the same time clinging on for safety.. I looked up away from the flagging sail and there a few hundred yards off was this Huge black submarine.. sitting there, a few heads showing above the conning tower looking in our direction.. it was enormous, black, no markings. A silent killing machine. Warships are still ships, they sail as other ships, show themselves as ships, they're military but still, attractive in their way and in their function. This submarine brought it home to me that stormy day, it's a killing machine, as a shark is a killing machine. Deadly, awesome.

      @James Graham We stopped painting hull numbers on our Sails in the ‘60’s, unless it’s for initial Launching/Commissioning, or Decommissioning, or PA photos near Port. During the Cold War, when we still had them painted, we found that the Russian Trawlers always waiting outside Groton, Norfolk, and Charleston, were keeping track of us by our hull numbers (the hull number and commissioning designation aren’t necessarily the same). SO…. Fast & Black, or Slow and Black. It’s extremely rare to see one of us with a number painted on the sail at sea for that very reason. One thing to keep in mind; what you see above the waterline when a boat is running surfaced, you’re only seeing about 1/5 of the actual hull. Most of the hull is submerged, even surfaced.
      Something else you might find interesting; in heavy weather (Tropical Storm and up) there’s no depth where the ocean won’t affect a Submarine. I’ve been at 400’ under a Tropical Storm that was right at the Cat 1 line, and we were taking 15-20 degree rolls.🤢
      Oh….and I have actually tracked a Sailboat on Submarine Sonar - canvas only, no diesel. So don’t ever believe for a second that you’re safe from a Submarine in a Sailboat.😬😉

      @@CYBERVISIONSdotCom Great reply, many thanks for that.. I did throw a quick wave at the tiny heads showing above the 'sail', nobody responded, adding to the seeming malevolence of the machine. One quick Q. When we hear of the depth ordered by the commander, are we talking about depth to the lowest part of the hull ? Depth from a transponder located at a particular point on the hull ? How is 'depth' calculated ?

    The WW2 submarines always fascinated me. I think about the men who went to sea for weeks under miserable, terrible uncomfortable conditions in these iron coffins. The boats had no aircondition, the men took no showers or baths which ment the stench had to be horrible plus they're breathing it for weeks because there's no fresh air. I could survive a lot of things, but I don't think I could make it as a submariner.

    Whenever I see some science fiction blockbuster with amazing starships, I always think that they are like submarines. Designed to protect people from the cold reaches of space. Layed out and designed like submarines. I guess that has always made the idea of submarines more romantic to me, and starships somehow more real.

    This is an excellent documentary and one of the best i've seen on submarines. The Kursk tragedy was horrific and even more so when it was eventually known some members of the crew survived the explosion which sent it to the sea bed, only for them to die a slow death.

    • @CYBERVISIONSdotCom
      @CYBERVISIONSdotCom Год назад +4

      @Bulletguy07 One of the positive things that came out of the KURSK accident is that the U.S.Navy (finally) and others designed an Escape / Survival suit (SEIE) that’s actually viable enough to keep us alive during an escape ascent and afterwards when we get to the surface. In the past with virtually every Nuclear Submarine loss, it’s been in waters far too deep to survive; Kursk was the first that showed that a few crew actually survived the massive explosion that sank their boat. In the past, such equipment was more for families than the crew; we always knew that in a major casualty, we’d all likely not survive given the depth of waters we normally operate in.
      The Kursk survivors didn’t really die that slow a death; one of them dropped an O2 candle into the water in the compartment, causing it to explode an use all of the remaining oxygen. There’s no possible way they could’ve been rescued; it takes too much time to determine a boat has been lost, and then locate it. Also, rescue vehicles in the past only work if they could mate with a hatch meaning it needed to be upright and not at a very large angle. That was a much quicker way to go.

    at the outset of WW-2, both American sub launched and aircraft launched torpedoes were badly defective with as little as 10% of fired torpedos both hitting the target and detonating. Many subs were lost because of this problem. It took two years to convince the Bureau of Weapons (BUWEPS) that this was true and to test the torpedoes. 1942 & '43 were lean years for US subs. Once the torpedoes were fixed it was game on. There are good videos on this topic on YT.

    Can some ex-submariner or a knowledgeable persons inform me how a sub cruising under deep or shallow waters Identify and evade underwater obstacles like ship wrecks, boulders, or even small mountains or obstructive terrain. It is dangerous to be blindly cruising. I am struggling with this doubt for a long time.

    • @demetertoth9067
      @demetertoth9067 9 месяцев назад +2

      They use sonar. They release sound waves under water which reflects off of obstacles back to the sub which is then processed to create a 3D map of the surroundings and allows the submariners to evade obstacles

      Military submarines generally don't use active sonar except immediately before an attack. So they use their depth gauges and reference seabed charts and their best estimates for the actual location of the sub. It doesn't always work:
      "Why are subs always running into things?
      Because they’re stealthy. So stealthy, in fact, that they don’t use the equipment necessary to detect obstacles."

    Five two man Type A Japanese midget submarine at Pearl Harbor was sunk by surface action, subsequently depth-charged for good measure. Another ran aground, a third was sunk and the fourth was accounted for, but photographic evidence of the fifth midget submarine lends credence that it gained entry to battleship row and fired a torpedo at the USS Oklahoma. This fifth submarine was never found, and could be somewhere at the bottom of Pearl Harbor. No torpedoes we’re fires at any if the Type A submarines.

    I served abroad a nuclear missile boat in the late '60s!! The keel was laid down in the late '50s, so it wasn't one of the newer ones our Navy had in the fleet!! There were 41 boats in our program, 41 subs with anywhere from 12 to 24 missiles aboard, each with up to 8 nuclear warheads, some with different ranges!! So 41 subs with an average of 16 missiles, equals 48 warheads per sub, which is a grand total of 656 warheads!! Now given that not all of the boats were at sea at the same time, still 48 warheads per boat is a whole bunch of 'fuc& you'!! Consider, after receiving a launch order, we could go from cruising depth to have launched all of our missiles in less than 30 minutes, that's 48 nuclear warheads, heading up over the horizon, in less than half an hour, with no way to recall them!! All those 41 subs each with less computer power than today's newer cell phones!!

      This is often missed. The primary source data is available via the footnotes in the work of Robert Frank that over 25,000 per month in Asia were saved after the bombs accelerated the complete surrender. Then the establishing of the global order afterward, and the myriad investment and creation of global interdependence by US - who did so without taking over the land they were helping, and with only limited occupations of belligerents, saved millions of lives, probably billions since that time. I have no problem exploring the sins of the west and open dialogue. I also have no problem admitting that it’s probably time for a new order of things where the US is not the police of the world. But it’s wrong for us to speak about this issue with resentment toward the west as if they are doing something wrong. The reasons during the aftermath were motivated by saving life, feeding populations, and building up societies. six generation, since the war have benefited and existed by the world order that we are all bankrolling. Change is not always an issue of blaming someone for the way things are. It is the peace and security, guaranteeing free trade over the worlds oceans by the US that has allowed for the peace and population explosions that have led to people desiring a new order of things. We are only free enough and smart enough to even begin speaking about international geopolitics because of the relative peace the world has known since then, allowing us all to become more egalitarian and educate ourselves. Just my opinion, worth what you paid for it.
      To highlight this point -Taiwan will probably be taken in the next 30 to 90 days. One look at the map and a simple conclusion about China’s adversaries in the region makes it clear that they have to take Taiwan if they are going to survive. It’s not even a sovereign nation in the strictest sense, but in a ambiguously gray definition, where half the population identifies as Chinese politically. Taiwan sent military hardware that it purchased from Switzerland back for repairs and upgrades. The Swiss turned around and sent it to a factory in China for the repairs. This is the order created by the postwar peace where global interdependence and logistics mean future combatants will likely continue to have logistics trains and capital investment from global sources. I wonder how militaries will instill patriotism, when the governments and businesses in a nation continue to trade with the other sovereign they are fighting
