What an Israeli professor told me in 2002 that (what most people don't know) that the crew doesn't need to be alive! So if food runs out, submarines can be remotely forced to stay under water .. that is why semitic people are not allowed to be in specific American submarines (for their safety) ..
That will be $4 billion. Plus, another $3 million every 3 to 4 months for refit and maintenance. STS3 (SS) King at your service. I made 4 patrols on the USS Henry M. Jackson SSBN 730 Gold crew, 1993 to 1995.
I spent 10 years on an old SSBN sub, not as hi-tech but almost as lethal. Can't say I want to spend three months underwater at a shot anymore but those were some fun times.
Exactly. The tech we know about is about 20 years or so behind the actual cutting edge tech that's being worked on they say. Probably explains a lot of the ufo sightings haha. More likely cutting edge military tech than actual aliens.
sounds like a conspiracy but it's likely true aerial drone strikes are a thing, i wouldn't be surprised if unmanned nuclear subs secretly are a thing as well for example
That's not how a nuclear deterrent works, at least in theory. The whole point of a nuclear arsenal in the modern era is to serve as a threat. You're not going to sufficiently mess with a nation that has the capability to turn your capital city (or the entire Earth's surface) into an ash-filled crater. It exists purely as a threat, because (in theory) no nation is foolish enough to use a weapon that destructive unless it feels it has no other option. Keeping an even more destructive weapon secret would eliminate its main purpose (the looming threat). They actually talk about this in Doctor Strangelove. The US and USSR both build world-destroying "doomsday machines" but neglect to tell each other, a failure that ultimately ends in them being used because neither side realizes what's at stake
subs that run on ... batteries. As stupid as it sounds, nuclear ones cannot be totally silent due to refrigeration pump. battey ones are really silent...
@2a4c12 It's real footage, Trident II missiles have been in use as far back as the 1980s. If you actually believe that SLBM launch footage that's been around for decades is from a game, I have a bridge for sale that you may be interested in.
As someone who lives in Pennsylvania, I genuinely didn't know the state was a submarine. Thanks for all the likes !!! We all live on the Pennsylvania Submarine !!
Its name use to be on a battleship, from around 1910-1948, was in drydock during the attack on Pearl, fought all across the Pacific, and not even the nukes at Bikini Atoll could sink her. The Navy had to. Would not be surprised if the old battleships bell was on that sub.
As an Ohio Class veteran, I should point out a torpedo does not hit an enemy ship directly. 0:36 It actually explodes underneath to create a cavity that will break the keel of the enemy ship.
As a Conversion Crew of Ohio (G), I don't recall enough space to store 48 Torpedoes. The OP probably misspoke the MARK 48 lol Imagine removing the Diesel and 400hz generators from AMR1 to store all those extra torpedoes.
I remember watching a video not too long ago. About a guy doing a documentary on life in the Army. He took a helicopter and landed on the surfaced Sub. Boarded and it dived right back down. But the most interesting thing to me. Is that they make a lot of the food from scratch. They have pizza nights and everything. The idea that somewhere thousands of miles from civilization with billions of gallons of water pressing on them in complete darkness. There is a pizza kitchen serving hot and ready pizza's
I’ve had many a pizza while under water. All of the baked goods were made on board. We had a fantastic midnight baker on board named Don Highsmith. The best donuts that I’ve ever had in my life were made by him.
@mikhailiagacesa3406 yup it's a morale thing. If you've gotta be stuck in a metal tube half a mile underwater the least they can do is serve you good food
These "stats" are the unclassified published stats. Just like the 155mm Excalibur round. The published stat says range of 31 miles. Let me tell you as an artilleryman. That is a lie.
Remember having a collection of information as a child and being very interested in a book on submarines. Every page was filled with submarines and their specifications. Their crew sizes everything. their payload. To hear that there's hundreds of men on one of these submarines is truly incredible. Even as a child. Maybe even more as an adult.
@@gxulien we had thick books like this on submarines for all categories of military vehicles. Helis, planes, tanks, etc, full of images and information. My parents had no idea i had a "learning disability" with all the damned learning i did.
For me it's the ships of the sail and gunpowder age. Just the logistics on such ships within those ages. Really appreciated the thoughts that went into the game civilization IV, where you have to research the fridge to build modern era ships.
My children's book on submarines also described the Glomar Explorer, a special ship built to dredge manganese nodules off the ocean floor. Years later, the public learned that it was actually built to recover a sunken Soviet submarine and learn its secrets. The mining stuff was just a cover story.
@@btokarski82The nuclear reactors heat converts water to steam that turns the generators to power the whole thing. So old and new tech working together.
That's interesting and kind of scary to think about. Not sure if this is classified but can they launch more than 1 at a time or would the hull collapse? This reminds me of the Iowas sliding sideways during a full broadside.
No room, one might think with something over 500 feet long it would have room. It doesn't even come close to being able to. A nuclear reactors, torpedoes that are over 20 feet long, torpedo tubes, a galley plus bedding for 100 men, some of which hot bunk. In order for a submarine to stay undiscovered, it need to remain submerged. That means no surfacing, besides you'd need a bunch of fish to feed 100 men. It does carry enough provisions to stay submerged for 90 to 120 days.
My mother helped with the reactor operations for the Nautilus SSN-571.. She worked for the Honeywell Corp. While carrying me during the 1st half of her pregnancy... That probably explains the weirdness...
I've stood aboard that ship. Walked across it for my graduation from sub school. Tell your mother (I'm assuming she's alive) she's a part of history and always will be. Even if nobody remembers her name, she contributed to something that changed the course of human history.
Was in the Baltic Sea some time ago. Saw a Russian Akula Class sub passing by, followed by a Danish destroyer. Still gives me the chills, thinking about it. If you don't think subs are the most terrifying tools of war and bringers of destruction, you probably didn't know enough of them.
Russian Subs are old, terribly maintained and very noisy. They’re very easy to find. Their Ballistic Missiles Subs can only carry 16 ICBM’s. And they have only 8 of them. That actually work Most Russian subs never go on deployment or leave their port. That’s true for most of their Navy. If you look at the wiki page of “Active” Russian Navy Ship, you’ll see most of them never leave port and some have been undergoing maintenance and repairs for several years like the Russia’s only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetzsov
@@tylerclayton6081 well said for a brainwashed man like you.. the question: what from did you prepared such a nice propaganda when your brain was already washed? from clay?
maybe the Chinese guy down the block...but the country China as well as its government, already know everything about this ship. you guys must be new to the planet earth if you don't know that.
@@ravinraven6913Except how to built it, operate it effectively, or counter it, of course. Otherwise they would’ve built a sub sometime in the last decade or two that wasn’t just a derivative of copied Soviet-era tech.
They also use it to sterilize waste from the bathrooms. The salt water from the ocean purposely gets mixed in with the waste in a tank and is then electrocuted creating chlorine as a byproduct. Which is sterile and then released into the ocean. So the poop and urine becomes chlorinated and then released into the ocean. Even some basic yachts and boats have this system.
..electrolysis can also provide clean hydrogen (browns gas), the only 'truly' efficient and sustainable 'green' solution for heating and internal combustion engines.
@@BobbyOfEarth depends on where your power comes from regular h2 is still made from cracked hydrocarbons electrolysis of water is nice for applications like subs, but in normal circumstances just to expensive and inefficient if the h2 is later used to create electricity for example
In 1981 I passed the US Navy's certified welding test and joined the Electric Boat division of General Dynamics corporation construction crews at the Quonset Point facility in Rhode Island. I welded Trident class hulls and frames and the Los Angeles class 688 attack subs. My name is welded on the inside of some of these Tridents hulls to this day. This led to me working as a certified welder for 43 years including nuclear power plants and petroleum/chemical refineries. These machines are WAY more skilled and powerful than the public knows. Even today, the things I know about them is still shrouded in secrecy. My favorite is the SSBN 740 USS Rhode Island... The Ohio class of nuclear-powered submarines includes the United States Navy's 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) and its four cruise missile submarines (SSGNs). Each displacing 18,750 tons submerged, the Ohio-class boats are the largest submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy. Launching a Trident III missile is sending 16 MIRV's (multiple independent re-entry vehicles) that can each be targeted independently of each other at 16 different cities/military targets... times 16 missiles (256 nuclear targets) and has the ability to use a Doppler system to project it's location hundreds of miles from where it actually is... Each of these bombs is around eight times as destructive as the bomb which flattened Hiroshima in 1945, killing over 140,000 civilians. Currently they only carry 8 missiles each. So 8x16 = 128 targets. Now count how many Ballistic nuclear armed subs the US Navy has active in the oceans. I know one is in the Med near Israel right now... they have a missile range of 4000 miles. Actual specs vary depending on sources and the date built... Some of these Tridents are unique and have tech that isn't on all of them.
Hiroshima was a light wood and paper buildings built with very limited space in peacetime a very large amout of people lived in a small area. Hiroshima was then flooded with refugees from the destruction of all Japanese Cities except the bomb targets and the historic building Kyoto. Plus over 100 town distroyed. So Hiroshima had one of the highest population densities in history in buildings that would burn with ease and provide very little resistance to the blast a Fire Storm was started by the bomb. Thus using that city to estimate civilian casualties creates massive error one reason the anti nuclear crowd loves doing so. Normal population density is way lower and often buildings are of brick, concrete blocks or heavy wood construction. Thus provide way more resistance to blast wave reducing it's power and range massively more than Hiroshima. And with modern construction way harder to start Firestorms. I have seen estimates of six to eight warheads to get Chicago for example. The many times over thing a massive lie even at the high point of cold war many in rural areas in US and SOVIET union would have lived but both countries would barely function along with parts of Europe that's it. This in part trying to take out all enemy missile silo and military targets. Would still be horrible 80 percent plus dead maybe in US. Note fallout is heavy most of it Falls out fairly close to blast only trace goes world wide. The "On the Beach" book with people in Australia waiting for radiation clouds to kill them with all Northern Hemisphere dead total fiction. The Author assumed all bombs used Cobalt Bombs which have never been built and still it probably almost all fall out within hunderds or so miles of blast. Using Cobalt in the bombs was to make more radioactive fall out at cost of lowering physical damage.Miltaries wanted more physical damage and if they could would eliminate the radiation and fall out as it gets in way of moving troops.
I was at a test event for Missile Defense in Kwajalein Atoll and the Navy launched an inert Titan missile that disbursed those warheads and they spread from horizon to horizon. The most amazing seat I had would have been instantly killed in a real event. Wish I could attach pictures
One of the interesting things about the food supplies is how they are stored. They do have pantries and refrigerators for meat and poultry and the like. But that fresh food runs out fairly early in the run. And you're down to the canned food. It's how they store THAT that is the interesting part. Basically - the corridors (and some other spaces) are lined with cans. Then a thin sheet of material strong enough to be walked on is laid on top (like a rubber mat - though I'm not sure about that.). Then another layer of cans. Then another set of mats. Then cans. Then mats, then cans... etc etc. You start off having to duck down and crouch everywhere in the sub. (Obviously there are places where they've left space. Like bulkhead hatches and door partitions. And places like the command center don't have any of this of course.) But the crew basically marks the days before they get back to port by how easier it gets to walk around down corridors without ducking one's head. Yes - that means the submarine begins a cruise even MORE CRAMPED. But it gets better as the food gets consumed. One thing that somehow NEVER magically runs out is the COFFEE. They stuff a LOT of coffee in submarine stores. Sub crews SURVIVE on coffee. Some say it's the best coffee in the Navy. Some also say that if a sub DID run out of coffee it would merit a serious emergency that would require them to head home to port even if they've got enough food to last. And the cream and sugar will run out long before the coffee does. So eventually you WILL learn to like it black. (I did not serve in the Navy. But I have friends and friendly acquaintances who have been submariners - so any mistakes here are my own - not what they told me. )
I was Navy, not sub service, but I can vouch for the coffee. Considering the other options for drinking, powdered milk, bug juice (hyper acidic koolaid), or metallic water, the coffee hid the taste, especially when prepared in a pot that hadn't been washed since the Greeks were a naval power and a pinch of salt.
That fact that this one submarine has enough firepower to be more destructive than all the bombs dropped in both world wars is mind blowing. There are 18 of these in active duty btw.
If everything was this peaceful we would still be living in caves. Conflicts gives birth to innovation. Don't demean our innovators by trying to be a moral police.
No. Beyond about 80 days, the limiting factor is sanity. Many tests were done in the early days of nuke boats to test these theories. In an all-out war, sure. Cruises could be extended, but many crew members start going crazy after 3 months.
The first time I have seen a video of how a missile is launched from its tube with the help of steam. I used to think that it was compressed air from an onboard compressor or storage tank. Thank You.

I’m a USAF Veteran who spent a number of years in close proximity to nuclear weapons. We joked about all other branches of the military, but had the utmost respect for our Navy counterparts. We had a country club existence compared to their duty assignments.
There is not a single area of this sub that I haven't been in/on. I spent the first 11 1/2 years of my adult life straight out of highschool working on all the nuclear subs at Kings Bay as a civilian. Greatest experience of my life.

I recently shared some information about the longest time a crewed submarine has remained submerged, and I’d like to clarify and correct what I posted earlier. I stated that the USS *Triton* (SSRN-586) set the record at 111 days during *Operation Sandblast* in 1960. However, that was incorrect. The USS *Triton* did indeed complete the first submerged circumnavigation of the Earth during *Operation Sandblast*, but the mission lasted **84 days**, not 111. The **longest verified submerged period** for a submarine is actually **111 days**, set by a Soviet **Typhoon-class submarine** in 1983. Additionally, there are some claims that the USS *Parche* (SSN-683) may have been submerged for **122 days** during a classified mission in 1999, but these details are not publicly confirmed due to the secretive nature of its operations. I apologize for the confusion.
I thought the longest is being set by that russin battle ship that doubles as a sub that the UKRAINE special forces sunk last year poo stain said its not sunk its a transformer from battle ship to sub 😅

It’s insane to think an object of that size would probably burn through thousands of gallons of fuel per day. Times 25 years. 9,125,000 gallons of fuel. At 4.50$ per gallon that’s 41 million dollars in fuel replaced by a lump of uranium the size of a fist.
You're pretty off. I know the diesel subs used by the royal navy average 25 gallons per hour burn rate. Go ahead and do the math and you'll realize 1000s per day when us (when were diesel) and uk subs can only hold 19-26,000gallons would render the submarine completely impractical because you'd be refueling it every few days making it totally ineffective as a platform

@@joeljustin most modern countries have 3rd generation submarines. Ours are 5th generation. You’re correct in that they are among the most classified pieces of equipment we have in our military. That being said there are some things we can assume. We can assume that the decoy capabilities of the F-22 and even missiles is a tech we like to have and that we are capable of performing the same functions underwater. I am also willing to assume that the US Navy is not like, well boys, we are out of food. Gotta go home and not complete our mission. They will re-supply under water. Just a guess but I’d also bet my wife on it.
This thing can stay under water for 25 years, but our fridges last for 3-5 years. GE (General Electric) made it so that you'd need a new fridge or get repairs because they weren't making a profit.

We had the CAPABILITY of 48 torpedos. I was on the Penn for almost 4 years and the most we ever had on board were about 20. I know not only because I helped the MMs PLENTY with those SOPs, but because ANY submariner knows their boat like the back of their hand even 20 years later.
This had me thinking...if anything would happen inland, these men and women would be some of the few survivors. May we pray for them and their missions in Christ!
The. You don’t know how silent silent can be. I was on the Penn for almost 4 years. We did training with our “sister” ship, the Kentucky in the Atlantic before we moved to the west coast. They were less than 1/4 mile away and we couldn’t spot them. The only reason we found them is when they launched an instrumentation missile. We didn’t even find the hatch coming open on sonar stacks. And mind you, launch depth is only 110 feet, which at missile deck level, is only 70 feet under the surface of the water. THAT’S QUIET.
Can use sonar to locate fish, can use sonar to kill fish, can probably use sonar to keep the birds from stealing all of the dead fish floating at the surface waiting for the new skimmer attachment to the snorkel to hoover the food directly to the galley for storage prep.

I spent 10 years on an old SSBN sub, not as hi-tech but almost as lethal. Can't say I want to spend three months underwater at a shot anymore but those were some fun times.
I went in at the end of those. Qualified on the Hamilton. Then served on Ohios and fast boats.
10 years underwater is a long time bro

For me, this is actually the scariest thing I’ve heard in a while. All that destructive power is just otherworldly.
And after the nuclear "exchange", there's really nowhere for it to go.

Exactly. The tech we know about is about 20 years or so behind the actual cutting edge tech that's being worked on they say. Probably explains a lot of the ufo sightings haha. More likely cutting edge military tech than actual aliens.
sounds like a conspiracy but it's likely true
aerial drone strikes are a thing, i wouldn't be surprised if unmanned nuclear subs secretly are a thing as well for example
That's not how a nuclear deterrent works, at least in theory.
The whole point of a nuclear arsenal in the modern era is to serve as a threat. You're not going to sufficiently mess with a nation that has the capability to turn your capital city (or the entire Earth's surface) into an ash-filled crater. It exists purely as a threat, because (in theory) no nation is foolish enough to use a weapon that destructive unless it feels it has no other option. Keeping an even more destructive weapon secret would eliminate its main purpose (the looming threat).
They actually talk about this in Doctor Strangelove. The US and USSR both build world-destroying "doomsday machines" but neglect to tell each other, a failure that ultimately ends in them being used because neither side realizes what's at stake
subs that run on ... batteries. As stupid as it sounds, nuclear ones cannot be totally silent due to refrigeration pump. battey ones are really silent...

A nuclear reactors, torpedoes that are over 20 feet long, torpedo tubes, a galley plus bedding for 100 men, some of which hot bunk. In order for a submarine to stay undiscovered, it need to remain submerged. That means no surfacing, besides you'd need a bunch of fish to feed 100 men. It does carry enough provisions to stay submerged for 90 to 120 days.

Was in the Baltic Sea some time ago. Saw a Russian Akula Class sub passing by, followed by a Danish destroyer. Still gives me the chills, thinking about it. If you don't think subs are the most terrifying tools of war and bringers of destruction, you probably didn't know enough of them.
Russian Subs are old, terribly maintained and very noisy. They’re very easy to find.
Their Ballistic Missiles Subs can only carry 16 ICBM’s. And they have only 8 of them. That actually work

HAHAHHAHA. With that chinky winky english accent
electrolysis is so cool and whoever thought of using it for oxygen in a sub is the coolest
They also use it to sterilize waste from the bathrooms. The salt water from the ocean purposely gets mixed in with the waste in a tank and is then electrocuted creating chlorine as a byproduct. Which is sterile and then released into the ocean. So the poop and urine becomes chlorinated and then released into the ocean. Even some basic yachts and boats have this system.

In 1981 I passed the US Navy's certified welding test and joined the Electric Boat division of General Dynamics corporation construction crews at the Quonset Point facility in Rhode Island. I welded Trident class hulls and frames and the Los Angeles class 688 attack subs. My name is welded on the inside of some of these Tridents hulls to this day. This led to me working as a certified welder for 43 years including nuclear power plants and petroleum/chemical refineries. These machines are WAY more skilled and powerful than the public knows. Even today, the things I know about them is still shrouded in secrecy. My favorite is the SSBN 740 USS Rhode Island...
The Ohio class of nuclear-powered submarines includes the United States Navy's 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) and its four cruise missile submarines (SSGNs). Each displacing 18,750 tons submerged, the Ohio-class boats are the largest submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy.
Launching a Trident III missile is sending 16 MIRV's (multiple independent re-entry vehicles) that can each be targeted independently of each other at 16 different cities/military targets... times 16 missiles (256 nuclear targets) and has the ability to use a Doppler system to project it's location hundreds of miles from where it actually is...
Each of these bombs is around eight times as destructive as the bomb which flattened Hiroshima in 1945, killing over 140,000 civilians. Currently they only carry 8 missiles each. So 8x16 = 128 targets. Now count how many Ballistic nuclear armed subs the US Navy has active in the oceans. I know one is in the Med near Israel right now... they have a missile range of 4000 miles.
Actual specs vary depending on sources and the date built... Some of these Tridents are unique and have tech that isn't on all of them.
@@BrotherRain brother I’m there now with the Virginia class and Columbia class.
Dude is primed for 'war thunder: submarines'.
Hiroshima was a light wood and paper buildings built with very limited space in peacetime a very large amout of people lived in a small area. Hiroshima was then flooded with refugees from the destruction of all Japanese Cities except the bomb targets and the historic building Kyoto. Plus over 100 town distroyed.
So Hiroshima had one of the highest population densities in history in buildings that would burn with ease and provide very little resistance to the blast a Fire Storm was started by the bomb.
Thus using that city to estimate civilian casualties creates massive error one reason the anti nuclear crowd loves doing so.
Normal population density is way lower and often buildings are of brick, concrete blocks or heavy wood construction. Thus provide way more resistance to blast wave reducing it's power and range massively more than Hiroshima. And with modern construction way harder to start Firestorms.
I have seen estimates of six to eight warheads to get Chicago for example. The many times over thing a massive lie even at the high point of cold war many in rural areas in US and SOVIET union would have lived but both countries would barely function along with parts of Europe that's it. This in part trying to take out all enemy missile silo and military targets.
Would still be horrible 80 percent plus dead maybe in US.
Note fallout is heavy most of it Falls out fairly close to blast only trace goes world wide.
The "On the Beach" book with people in Australia waiting for radiation clouds to kill them with all Northern Hemisphere dead total fiction.
The Author assumed all bombs used Cobalt Bombs which have never been built and still it probably almost all fall out within hunderds or so miles of blast.
Using Cobalt in the bombs was to make more radioactive fall out at cost of lowering physical damage.Miltaries wanted more physical damage and if they could would eliminate the radiation and fall out as it gets in way of moving troops.
I was at a test event for Missile Defense in Kwajalein Atoll and the Navy launched an inert Titan missile that disbursed those warheads and they spread from horizon to horizon. The most amazing seat I had would have been instantly killed in a real event.

@@krashd That makes a lot of sense
One of the interesting things about the food supplies is how they are stored. They do have pantries and refrigerators for meat and poultry and the like. But that fresh food runs out fairly early in the run. And you're down to the canned food. It's how they store THAT that is the interesting part. Basically - the corridors (and some other spaces) are lined with cans. Then a thin sheet of material strong enough to be walked on is laid on top (like a rubber mat - though I'm not sure about that.). Then another layer of cans. Then another set of mats. Then cans. Then mats, then cans... etc etc.
You start off having to duck down and crouch everywhere in the sub. (Obviously there are places where they've left space. Like bulkhead hatches and door partitions. And places like the command center don't have any of this of course.) But the crew basically marks the days before they get back to port by how easier it gets to walk around down corridors without ducking one's head.
Yes - that means the submarine begins a cruise even MORE CRAMPED. But it gets better as the food gets consumed.
One thing that somehow NEVER magically runs out is the COFFEE. They stuff a LOT of coffee in submarine stores. Sub crews SURVIVE on coffee. Some say it's the best coffee in the Navy. Some also say that if a sub DID run out of coffee it would merit a serious emergency that would require them to head home to port even if they've got enough food to last.
And the cream and sugar will run out long before the coffee does. So eventually you WILL learn to like it black.
(I did not serve in the Navy. But I have friends and friendly acquaintances who have been submariners - so any mistakes here are my own - not what they told me. )
The only military branch I’ve known to consistently have cream and sugar for coffee was the Coast Guard.
And ice cream, submarines stock up a lot of ice cream.
I was Navy, not sub service, but I can vouch for the coffee. Considering the other options for drinking, powdered milk, bug juice (hyper acidic koolaid), or metallic water, the coffee hid the taste, especially when prepared in a pot that hadn't been washed since the Greeks were a naval power and a pinch of salt.
Boomers don't have to store canned goods like that. Smaller subs do. Also, I never ran out of cream or sugar on any run I did.
How do they get rid of the excrements that all the canned food turn into? And the cans?
That fact that this one submarine has enough firepower to be more destructive than all the bombs dropped in both world wars is mind blowing. There are 18 of these in active duty btw.
14 of them have nukes with 4 of them having conventional munitions.

I recently shared some information about the longest time a crewed submarine has remained submerged, and I’d like to clarify and correct what I posted earlier. I stated that the USS *Triton* (SSRN-586) set the record at 111 days during *Operation Sandblast* in 1960. However, that was incorrect. The USS *Triton* did indeed complete the first submerged circumnavigation of the Earth during *Operation Sandblast*, but the mission lasted **84 days**, not 111.
The **longest verified submerged period** for a submarine is actually **111 days**, set by a Soviet **Typhoon-class submarine** in 1983. Additionally, there are some claims that the USS *Parche* (SSN-683) may have been submerged for **122 days** during a classified mission in 1999, but these details are not publicly confirmed due to the secretive nature of its operations.

The day will soon come when submariners will be autonomous or remote controlled. The technology already exists or nearly does...
@@philiptownsend4026 what makes you think we don’t have them now?
If they stay submerged for that long, 150 individual sailors would emerge as 75 couples by the end.
Nope. You'd have 70 couples. The rest would be either single or in some type of group relationship(s). ;) Ex-Bubblehead (submariner) here.

Do you raise gerbils too?
It's the navy, they already are 😁
the full documentary is amazing
This thing can stay under water for 25 years, but our fridges last for 3-5 years. GE (General Electric) made it so that you'd need a new fridge or get repairs because they weren't making a profit.
You can’t be that naive to think that consumer goods produced by the millions, with low price as a primary criterion, can in any way be compared with a nuclear submarine built one-off with a military budget.
@@timothy098-b4f oh buddy, you over estimate these corpos. 3-5 years is enough for them to make it look decent and sell some more.

I keep seeing videos saying these things can go indefinitely without refueling but none explaining how. I cannot wrap my brain around that concept that is absolutely insane.
I want one, I don't need the missiles though. I'd keep the torpedoes for monster size squid and octopuses. Who else wants one?
I also want one.
However, I will need the missiles.
I have....... plans.

That sounds awesome! I do!

@@brianb8003what are your plans bro ?
Proves how mad modern man has become.
48 torpedoes? Huh, who knew?
I think they got it fucked up with Mk. 48 torpedoes lol
We had the CAPABILITY of 48 torpedos. I was on the Penn for almost 4 years and the most we ever had on board were about 20. I know not only because I helped the MMs PLENTY with those SOPs, but because ANY submariner knows their boat like the back of their hand even 20 years later.
@@amplethought fucking where???
This is awesome!!!
This had me thinking...if anything would happen inland, these men and women would be some of the few survivors. May we pray for them and their missions in Christ!
Soooo everybody that's in and on the sea are safe? Soooo many basically because it's not inland.
Oh god. The first god comment here.
"it can silently..."
No it can't.
It's a nuclear sub.
The best it can do is "quiet".
Yeah exactly
The. You don’t know how silent silent can be. I was on the Penn for almost 4 years. We did training with our “sister” ship, the Kentucky in the Atlantic before we moved to the west coast. They were less than 1/4 mile away and we couldn’t spot them. The only reason we found them is when they launched an instrumentation missile. We didn’t even find the hatch coming open on sonar stacks. And mind you, launch depth is only 110 feet, which at missile deck level, is only 70 feet under the surface of the water.
THAT’S QUIET.
Can use sonar to locate fish, can use sonar to kill fish, can probably use sonar to keep the birds from stealing all of the dead fish floating at the surface waiting for the new skimmer attachment to the snorkel to hoover the food directly to the galley for storage prep.
The usual operating depth of nuclear subs might be deeper than what sunlight can reach, so not much fish at that depth.
@@jims8828 lol true, well there doesn't seem to be any possible logical solution for that concern so let's pack up and go home lol
And invent autominous systems. People not needed then.
@@philiptownsend4026 but damn. That maintenance do be a bitch.
My dad has a picture of when he was in the Navy. It was one of the Trident missiles just as it started firing up out of the water. I believe the missile was from the sub he served on, the USS Lewis and Clark.
Actually, the Russian submarine The Moskva can stay underwater permanently.
The US Navy has plenty of permanent subs. What an epic win for The Good Guys!
actually, it carries MORE arsenal than what the narrator states..it also has a dry dock. theres another version that supposedly... is hollow, so that it can go and bear hug another sub and pull it inside.
Are you sure?
@@philiptownsend4026 yes my father help design such a thing
@@MADMAX-rj3uw I believe you are referring to project azorion (definitely didn’t spell that right) where we brought up a portion of a Russian sub with a surface ship that was a “deep sea mining vessel” and Ohios don’t have an internal dry dock.
no, that was a project for civilian use
@@MADMAX-rj3uw my bad my bad. Definitely mined the purest raw steel from the ocean floor for commercial use.
Not complete silent - at least the steam processing makes a lot of noise.
Ummm you never worked on boats did you?
@@TheRadconranger was in the airforce.
But why? Was told about the noise from a visit in a French sub
@@TheRadconranger they absolutely make noise there are stealth subs like German Type 212A, chinese Type 39C and Swedish Gotland
Not on a sub. #1 job. Remain undetected.
@@WJHARXT That's a FRENCH sub. Ours we were told, you are looking for an area in the ocean where there is NO sound.
Great video
Gee, I hope the CCP doesn't find out about this so they can reverse engineer it, and everyone keeps this video quiet.
good luck reverse engineering a nuclear powered submarine.
@@TurboFrieza Right, especially with Wal-Mart quality materials built on prison camp labor.
@@TurboFrieza They have reverse engineered virtually everything US military, and especially in naval warfare. You have groups of top engineers designing top secret weapons systems for the US at a cost of billions of dollars, then turn around and leak the design blueprint to the Chinese intelligence. Because they're Chinese counterintelligence. This situation is bad for the US, so don't be so confident.
All of you realize the Chinese have their own classes of ballistic missile subs right? They’re about a generation behind American subs but they’re still capable of launching dozens of nuclear missiles while underwater.
@@tyger5645 If by generation you mean just past WW2 era, sure.
The Russians and Chinese got such toys too.
Not indefinitely, the crew needs to eat. When you run out of food you need to come up.
They can create a fish catching arm/net and then they can really stay down longer.
what about pigfish or beefFish? cuz fish it becomes toxic after a while
I love the small brains in the connect section thinking food would be a limiting factor. Yeah that's the challenge they can't figure out lol ok
@@davewojtowicz2246 true. Bread and water rations are still approved for use in the navy. And the ingredients for bread are simple and easy to store.
@@landon12142 ah yes Landon. Still using a typewriter too I bet
Very nice video
Amazing tech part of why the US is the most powerful military force in the world
As if the Russians and the Chinese didn’t have something similar. Americans’ cockiness is gonna make you fall hard, friends. Be humble or be dead.
whats the point....once those nukes fly ..the russians or china will fire theirs..no one wins
You hope it is... But you're probably right
The 24 Tridents have 14 MIRV's! That's 336 major cities completely obliterated per submarine. They are called boomers.
Boomers have a maximum of 8 warheads per missile. I was a 2nd Class on the Pennsylvania, and I can tell you we only ever had two configurations, Mark 4 and 5s. Rarely Mark 7s. 4s have a max of 5 warheads. 5s had a max of 8. Never 14. There wouldn’t be enough room.
@amplethought Good for you! I was a Nuke who overhauled and refueled these, 688's, and CVN's as a civilian. Back in the day, I graduated from hooligan high-school and went to an Air Force Bronze Star in 13.8 years! To have that award on my license plates and to verify the disdain of other Americans who are not glad to see me have it, you know, Correcto bots like yourself.
Here's something easy to correct....try not telling any lies for just 24 hours. Don't lie to your spouse, children, parents, or my goodness, on the job! If the better man..... you, and people like you can just stop telling lies. America won't just become great but better than it ever was!
So focus on not telling lies, of any kind and you won't be ashamed of posting a picture of yourself. You would even look good in a $2.00 Walmart beater like I'm wearing. 👍 😃 😊
@amplethought Are you sure the information you just provided is UNCLASSIFIED? If envy would cause you to so quickly divulge classified information, what could a Ruskie get out of you making you miss just 2 consecutive meals? My assessment, a Ruskie could get whatever he wanted after that.
@@rickeyb8812 The Ruskies already clobbered Warshington and would have neither the time nor the inclination for strategic thought and might sap and impurify all our precious bodily fluids.
@@rickeyb8812 Rickey- I assure you, at no point, would I like to be a Correcto bot. I also graduated from a hooliganism-based matriculation and after sub school in Groton, and A School and C School in King’s Bay, I was indeed an MT2/SS on the Pennsylvania Blue crew. I know the Trident II D5 system well. I don’t possess envy, and no one who actually has a dolphin tattooed on them would brag about what is essentially a security job. But I’m telling you the facts of the Ohio Class, not 688’s, which are the fast attacks. And the LA Class did not and have never had Trident II D5 missiles, though they had II, V, VII, and VIII classes from 700-710, 719, 720, 24,25, 51, and 52. Ohio class started with 726-MY boat, 735. Overhauls and refits could never accommodate D5 missiles, -TLAM-Ns, yes, but not D5 Trident IIs- they were just too big. I promise you.
