** Important ** I just realized, after 9 years on RUclips, the comments I see on my feed are not always directed at me and are inter-discussion between viewers.
This resulted in me responding to the wrong person with both positive support and sometimes a negative comment (rare but it happens). If I did this to you, I apologize. I wonder how many people in the past I've confused.
Heh, made me chuckle.
I wonder as we slowly lose ours, we'll get catapults and SAMS on our bloody carriers!?
Wonder what would happen if we got healthcare and the rest of the world had to defend themselves 🤔
@@A_barrel Perfidious Europeans. Colonial era over, might as well give up all this and have healthcare, no point anymore.
Hi Aaron, i thought that was the B21 Raiders fault? This Aegis is why my Social Security is gonna run out? Lol
Dont need healthcare when you got defenses like that
I remember as a Programming student nearly 40 years ago, being told that the Aegis system's code was the most complex piece of computer software ever written.
The system has likely gone through many upgrades since then.
Thats crazy cool.
I remember big discussions in the 80s about the development and use of Arsenal ships. It's nice to see us finally making that real.
To be fair they were a reality ever since the Ohio-class SSGN conversions. They are arsenal ships with many missiles that can operate underwater!
@@NuclearFalcon146 I know about the Ohios. I live in Saint Marys, GA, right next to NSB Kings Bay. The arsenal ships I remember discussing were primarily AA related. It's hard to do AA with an Ohio.
@@HarryWHill-GA The ones I have heard about were primarily Tomahawk and anti-ship missile slingers so we might not have been hearing about the same arsenal ships.
The 1995 depiction is my favorite.
On the continuing concept of Arsenal ships, The Aegis units can track & engage 100's of inbound. The limiting factor is the number of cells available, which is a very finite asset, and can always be overwealmed and their cells quickly depleted. Arsenal ships is at least a partial and cost effective solution (given you could actually afford the birds). A platform with 200+ cells would solve a lot of problems.
I wonder if it would be possible to just have arsenal barges that are towed by the cruisers or destroyers or a combat tug. Or put multi-modal missile launchers on a Panamax cargo ship and call it Rapid Sea Dragon.
@@jakeaurod - Excellent out of the box thinking. Panamax cargo ship - Russia already has a version called the Club K. Towing a bardge will compromise a ship's maneuverability and towed array operations. Better to be self-contained like the USNS Lewis B. Puller hull with say 400 cells. Remember the US Navy effectively loses 122 cells with each retired Tico hull. The Arsenal ship then becomes a high value target, provisioned for an anti-air mixed bag loadout. Also, they could take the retired Ohios and make them SSGNs - just for land attack, somewhat inexpensive end of life extensions.
Why not just have containerized VLs cells that can be deployed on cargo ships and then link up with actual military vessels. Just in the case of having to fight China there will be loads of useless cargo vessels anyways.
It's funny, there were serious US attempts to make an arsenal ship when I was two years old but the guy with the seemingly blank cheque who was pushing for it died unexpectedly. So many fancy concepts have been developed and trialled since then (and some of them actually work well) but here we are again, talking about arsenal ships and the very real, useful role they could serve. You Americans never fail to entertain me with your congressional funding system.
With that said, it could always be worse. You could spend money like the Germans; billions wasted on paperwork and at the end of it, they end up with an elderly yacht in need of retirement, some boats that are almost without missiles, tanks without spare parts and IFVs that can't pass trials...
The world of government procurement is a funny old place 😅
@@aymonfoxc1442 You are right. It is in fact embarrassing what our government has been pulling off these past few decades.
I enlisted into the US Navy as an Operations Specialist in 1985 . I sailed on an old Adams class DDG learning the basics of seamanship . I then served two years as as a MP in Yokosuka Japan . In the early 90s I attended AEGIS school at Wallops Island Virginia , then sailed on USS Antietam CG 54 during a WestPac deployment and a deployment to the Persian Gulf with the Carl Vinson battle group . The AEGIS Combat System and Link 16 are a lot more than pretty good .
I 100% agree. But let's not make it public.
I basically did the same thing between 1969 and 1973 going from an old radarman on my first ship a Farragut class DLG/DDG destroyer to an OS on my second ship a Leahy class DLG/CG which had the new then NTDS system.
With CEC, (Cooperative Engagement Capability) just making it even better than with Link 16!
Sub brief is in my top 5. Great stuff. Even if he is employed by US psychological operations.
Hey, they give me pills.
You are in rare for today Aaron.. Keep it up!!
What are the others in your top 5?
At least SmarterEveryDay denies it and gets to film nuclear submarine propaganda without having to lick boots
An unmanned submarine could be used as a giant missile carrier and launcher platform.
Especially if it’s getting the targeting data from another source. 😉
I like the idea of an XLUUV being used like this for surface to air missiles.
It is the future as many countries are developing them,
Australia has a small one about the size of a bus that uses the same AI as MQ28A Ghost bat combat drone. has drone swarm AI capability also.
Any kind of transmissions to or from the unmanned submarine would likely betray it's location. It would probably have to be completely autonomous to avoid detection
Seeing these containers on the ghost fleet ships, I do wonder if they'll add containerised SAM systems at some point. Would be an easy future upgrade.
Aaron so good to see you in high spirits again so soon, the jokes are absolutely on point and your perspective on the strip is a genuinely interesting take. I like it.
Thank you. We all bounce back and move forward, just at different rates.
The end had me cracking up.
The Navy's AEGIS system just amazes me. I am an old Navy Radarman/OS from the early 70's. I served on what what then a couple of state of the art missile destroyers the USS Dahlgren DLG-12/DDG-43, and the USS Richmond K Turner DLG/CG-20. I started off on the Dahlgren as an old school RD using the same basic technology that derived from WW2. It might have been old tech, but we were a well oiled and effective machine... I then went back to school to learn the new Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) computerized radar system that was on my second ship the USS RK Turner. When I first stepped onto the CIC of the Turner I felt like I was on the starship USS Enterprise from Star Trek. The NTDS system could also link with other ships NTDS systems so we could see their tracks as well as our own. Problem was it was so new that there was so many bugs in the system that it probably only worked maybe half the time at most, and there were almost no other ships with it that we could link up with. Most of the time we ended up falling back on working CIC without using the NTDS system. After spending 2 years working CIC the old school way on my first ship I was underwhelmed with NTDS, and my impression was that it was not something I would want to bet my life on. I got out of the Navy before they could get the bugs out of the NTDS system so to this day I have an inherent suspicion of the Navy's new technology, but the AGIES system is not new, and from what I hear it is as amazing as I suspect it is. They finally got the kinks out of the old NTDS system as well which, as I understand, was still being used on many ships up to at least 2013. When people ask me what I did in the Navy I tell them I was a Radarman...
That is an ESG pitch I did not see coming, but I'm here for it.
I was on the SM3 test platform when it was first going thru trials. Its nuts to see that thing actually fielded. Even the second gen had a hit to kill probability of 80% back then. Cant imagine what it can do now.
You know… When you stop doing predominantly cold waters content I didn’t understand why you were moving away from what I thought was a really good thing and really enjoyed. But now I see that your dissemination of information on a regular basis here in your new format is superior and Allows your knowledge to not only be used to speak and play authoritatively in a video game, but to address current events and Geo political topics.
I thought your take on Gaza was impressively optimistic and absolutely needed in this dire time in the world.
Great video, thank you! Glad to hear from Gene!
Our pleasure!
Man that is awesome, I could imagine a missile barge with a hundred VLS tubes just floating near the fleet ready to be used, with other barges just like it ready!
Or thousands of semisubmersed quad-cells.
PMRF baby. Been there, done that; many many times. And yes, the Aegis system is impressive. Being in Combat on a Tico or Arleigh Burke class is pretty freaking cool. Plus their sonar control rooms are really nice size.
TILL.. you get an asshole like me that would "crop dust" across Combat, entering through the starboard and exiting through port side with the on watch OSs stuck smelling that beautiful fart! 😂😂😂😂
Some of the most factual and balanced reporting on Gaza I have seen.
I really enjoyed the last few minutes of this video.
The future of the gaza strip segment is like one of those business power points presentations lol. great vid as always
Thank you for this!!!
Aaron, your explanations and your humor are allways absolutely great! And with Gaza: yes, with a better administration, could it be there much more better for all! Very good directional guidance.
Awesome vid. The end had me laughing!
Thanks for the update
The last 3 minutes of this vid is some of the best script he’s ever written.
Very good but very expensive. Is there no other way to shoot down cheap missles and drones?
What leakage rate will you accept?
Those Raython stocks don't go up by themselves!
missiles aint cheap
@@BrianFullertonAnything that doesn't hit the ship, any other NATO ship, or US forces.
What's better- a $2 million per defensive missile with a 90% kill rate or a $50k per missile with a 20% kill rate?
If you miss, a $12 billion aircraft carrier is lost with 5,000 hands.
"It's up to You to build it" really says it all.
U.S. Arleigh Burke-class AEGIS Destroyer USS Carney(DDG-64) recently shut downed 4 cruising missiles and 19 drones fired by Houthi rebels at Yemen over the Red Sea in real actions, a prove of its capability and reliability.
It's always a pleasure catching a video from my favourite American submariner. I'm glad Australia is going to help the US rebuild and expand its industrial base whilst the US shares its nuclear technologies. Our countries are just like a couple of mates helping each other out when an undesirable, rude and threatening neighbour has reared their head. We help each other during natural disasters. We help each other during wartime. We help each other when terrorists attack... and apparently through you, Aaron, the US has a bit of optimism to share. Cheers 🍻
such great content i really loved the perspective on what gaza could be if the people decide to go that route that would be amazing
Lebanon was on the way to that but the religious sorts wouldn't have it. The "Paris of the Mediterranean" was turned into rubble and impoverished. Imagine how much work went into those tunnels only to have them wrecked without getting any benefit from them. It would be even harder to build a spectacular beach resort and then lose it to a war.
Aaron, you nearly owed me a new keyboard. "... conducting Operation Find Out in the South China Sea..." 🤣
I'm not up to speed on the ghost fleet. I was wondering if ground-effect vehicles might be able to fill a similar role. My understanding is they can move faster than a boat but can float on station longer than aircraft and can be heavier and carry more payload then aircraft. I was thinking these could be radar/missile/ASW pickets. I think they would be considered "trans-media" so that checks one buzzword off the list. You could even have a variant that can carry heavy weapons to support a marine landing. Or a variant that can submerge for SEAL infil/exfil
Thank you for the update on the Gaza urban renewal
Great conclusion, Aaron
Aaron out here talking up the finer points of JDAM gentrification
I am a navy nerd so i can see that in the thumbnail you have put an Italian de la penne class destroyer. Beautiful ships 🇮🇹
Great commentary towards the end, couldn't agree more ;))))
Incredible the target capability of each agis platform
Seeing AEGIS deckhouses makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
The Palestinians are actually the most well-educated population in the Middle East and among the top in the entire world. Which is a pretty amazing accomplishment considering the conditions of occupation they have been subjected to over the last 60 years. I know you are half joking about rebuilding Gaza, but assuming Israel doesn't try to push them into the desert to take it from them, Palestinians are extremely capable of rebuilding afterwards if given access to the materials.
Thank you for this comment
If they are so well educated, why did they put Hamas in power?
@@dundonrl If you look into the history, you find that Hamas was a relatively fringe group that only rose to prominence and barely eeked out a win in the 2006 election on an anti-corruption campaign. There was deliberate effort on the Israeli side to facilitate this by damaging the perception of the PA (Palestinian Authority) and other parties in the eyes of Palestinians and making them all appear as lackeys for the Israelis (which isn't totally inaccurate but was exaggerated greatly at the time).
Palestinians, especially those in Gaza, have been prevented from any kind of meaningful self-determination for over 40 years. All of the secular, left-wing, and pan-arab groups were undermined & destroyed by Israel. Islamist groups like Hamas were allowed to rise to power as part of Israel's strategy of preventing any kind of two-state solution from being realized. The people of Gaza have never been given a real choice in deciding who represents them.
You cannot hold Gazans accountable for Hamas anymore than you can hold all Israelis accountable for Israel's far-right Likud government.
Awesome shot of the Sydney opera house in the background. Any non Australian visitors when you come to sydney. It is a must see on your list. Well worth it.
Sweet, we dont usually get much news coming out of the Pac Missle Range Facility- Shout out to Isaiah out there!
Great brief.
What an interesting timing, Intercepting an IRBM and sea skimmers. I would not imagine anyone using IRBMs as a part of A2AD stratgey.
Yes, they could rebuild Gaza into something like Monaco, but I doubt it is what they want as someone who's felt the implications of city's that put tourism first, its citizens become second class.
Awesome insight on Gaza, 5 stars!
Great job...again
Thank you.
I have been hearing about Aegis since the 90s.......I wonder how far its come
the navy should just convert old oil tankers into massive VLS platform
Or some kind of Umanned drone mothership with tons of VLS. Maybe separating them is better for distributed concept.
Positive Aaron is secretly Savage Aaron in disguise
let's not let everyone in on the secret just yet... but I am happy to see people are reading between the lines.
Ha! I love the ending.
"They don't collapse on themsevles... often..." 🤣
Maybe they'll turn it into a beautiful beach resort where wealthy foreigners who dislike the country blockading it can come hang out, see the scenery, and pop off a few rockets to fund it all
Two anti-air missiles for each incoming cruise missile sounds to me like a great way to flush your magazines. Do you have twice as many anti-air missiles as your enemy has cruise missiles? I doubt it. What we need are layered systems where any incoming threat can be engaged just once by each layer. An ESSM at max range, A RAM missile at mid range for any that get past the first ESSM, then guns to engage any that make it past the RAM missile. Terminal guidance shells for those guns (under development) would make such a three layered (more?) system highly effective.
5:37 that F-18 is so close to the edge while doing maneuvers, never seen that.
Love your humor!!!
Re: turning it into Monaco....the irony is that now, from so many tunnels having been built, the ground isn't stable enough for buildings taller than 3 stories.
...."Here's another fine mess you've gotten us into!"
The kuznetsov class included a small VLS just before the ski jump. Did the Chinese keep that or did they strip that out?
It’s up to ME to rebuild Gaza?! Aaron, I don’t even know how to build ONE house!
Thats an interesting comparison.
The missile defense explanation reminds me of an awesome PC game NEBULOUS: Fleet Command. It was created by a Navy guy.
Some hot takes here I was not ready for Aaron 🔥😅 But all ESG jokes aside, it could be an amazing holiday destination 10-15 years from now (aside from the occasional UXO).
😂😂😂 Love the Gaza Restructuring Plan at the end … ESG credits / IAF Demo work lol
This video will be a Classic
Does it have any chance of survival under the attack of Chinese YJ 21 hypersonic missiles?
This was way better of an episode than i couldve imagined. Congrats on the ESG score, sorry about the damage.
Motivation and creativity are the parents of an adaptive enemy.
Well done to the programmers of the AEGIS system (which is also used in some of our Aussie ships) that must have spent years of their lives writing, reading, testing, debugging, testing again, debugging again rinse and repeat day after day & year after year to get this system to where it is today.
So if the B-52’s have infrared air-air tracking pods, do they have air to air missiles? Seems like that would be easily doable
He Aaron, can u make a video maybe of possible submarine activity in the mediteranian/arabian sea/persion golf, im quite interested in it, as it gets little coverage (which i know is for a reason)
Is there a reason besides unit cost that they don't test against hypersonic threats like Conventional Prompt Strike (IRCPS)? Perhaps to hide it's capabilities?
Every test has a purpose. This test achieved it's purpose. If they want to test against hypersonic weapons, they will create that test.
How fast were the ballistic missiles going when tracked and shot down?
very fast.
Let's go AEGIS!
Sounds like we might need a second factory for Standards.
Interesting episode
better hope aegis network is super secure especially
with ghost ships integration
@ 7:00 is that the HMAS Canberra in the background?
Another fantastic video. Aaron what would of happened if the ship hadn’t been able to intercept the missiles. I take it there were no warheads in them.
They would simply shoot again until they took out the missiles. They have time for multiple attempts.
"Gaza has zero carbon emissions, apart from the occasional JDAM." Right on. I'll remember that.
it's not a bad punch line....
Aegis is comparable to Captain America's indestructible shield.💪💪
Seems the future is to utilize “ammo/missile trucks”.
Unmanned missile ships/subs, capable of hauling many more missiles than a destroyer/cruiser.
The Air Force is doing a similar thing with their F-15EX, and soon with unmanned “loyal wingman”
These jets with either be controlled or commanded by the F-35s. The F-35s can encroach close to the enemies, giving very accurate targeting information to the missiles from the F-15EX or loyal wingman.
the future of a US Navy surface action group - a single dude deep in the CIC of a fully automated giant missile platform, surrounded by other giant missile platforms, surrounded by surveillance drones for hundreds of miles both above and below water.
Then i guess winning the battle would involve getting to that dude
Very based video. Love it.
Glad you liked it!
Is the EA-18G Growler effective against anti-ship missiles
Tunnels? Sea is near.. pump in seawater till tunnel is filled.
I do wonder, how viable is the things you said about Gaza given that the waters that those beaches connect to are Israeli Teritorial Waters
Now thats a Gun Range ! 🏴☠️
I am one of those people who firmly believe in a large weapon loadout and having a relatively large inventory of ammo on hand.
This Ukraine war has plainly demonstrated the situation where peacetime always does far more damage to military preparedness than any conflict ever can, and in the case of the artillery 155mm ammo, the whole world is frantic trying to ramp up production because the real shooting war has shown that they are burning through that ammo at 20X more than anyone could have expected.
So back to the subject of this aegis destroyer, although it has a decent loadout of over 96-112 VLS launch cells, I am again anticipating that in a real shooting war, they will quickly run out of ammo and even start using just 1 missile per intercept!
Then within a year after the conflict, the military planner will be talking about designing destroyers with 2X the missile loadouts!
I can almost guarantee this!
Gaza will prosper without war and terror.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Type-003 is operational. Supposedly it uses an EMALS type system but one can assume it will encounter a lot of problems. The US spent years getting it to work. We're supposed to believe a few stolen patents can get them a fully functional one? lol
I bet it's narrow band freqs can be overpowered ....
Lots of water…..flood the tunnels ☔️
that was impressive. but i think china would launch over 100 at a us warship, all them being hypersonic. i feel that might be problematic
Seems like we could totally make something better nowadays. It'd probably become another F-35 kind of program though. I mean, it's ancient isn't it? At it's core? Surely that's holding it back nowadays when interfacing with newer tech that's been jury rigged to work with it?
Definitely enjoyed this one, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
How DARE you confuse missiles with rockets?! Good day to you, sir!
Gaza currently under renovation. Amazing point on the prime beachfront . It could become a worldwide attraction.
I recon it'd look better as a parking lot.
No beach left behind
or you could use an unmanned surface vessel as the world's slowest missile or torpedo
Why shoot 2 missiles at a cruise missile but only one at a ballistic missile? Seems like the slower cruise missile would be easier to intercept. Also, if you're firing them at 1:2 incoming to outgoing, you're going to need a bunch of those ghost fleet ships with full magazines to prevent a saturation problem, or just simply running out of munitions.
i joined the navy to be an Aegis tech, signed up for AECF then ended up getting ET instead 🤷
