All of Billy Connolly's stories are true. It's the way he tells them and his conclusions are hilarious. He's an observational comedian. The best for me.

@goodshipkaraboudjan Год назад

I don't think anyone could top Billy and the way he can tell a story. I think from one comment on another video I saw someone said he doesn't script his act he just goes out to talk about a few topics and just does it off the cuff? I applied for the Royal Australian Navy as a Submariner Officer after high school in the 2000s. Couldn't do it being very slightly colourblind but I found out it was a good thing. When I was in Sydney for work I had the morning off so went to the Maritime Museum and among other things took a tour through the submarine there with the guide who had served onboard before it was decommissioned in the early 90s. I came out of that very glad I got knocked back from Subs! 40 men, 2 toilets, 0 showers and if someone farts in the torpedo room the whole boat knows about it.

@johnwhear9600 Год назад

Been on that Oberon class sub a few time as well as the old destroyer it's moored to (HMAS Vampire I think). There's not enough room to swing a cat on either. (Billy would probably say 'why the f*ck would you want to swing a cat'). 🙃

@goodshipkaraboudjan Год назад

@@johnwhear9600 Yep that's the one! Very cool to check out but glad to be off it after an hour. I'm sure a Collins Class might have been a bit more spacious and nicer but still glad I didn't spend more than an hour on a sub.

@johnwhear9600 Год назад

@@goodshipkaraboudjan I was looking up the conning tower in the sub an there was no way I'd fit through those tiny hatches, tunnels and ladders. When I was l little we were taken on a tour of both the HMAS Parramatta (which was the same destroyer class as Vampire) and I think it was the aircraft carrier HMAS Sydney at Garden Island when both vessels were still in active service. It would have been something organised by either the school or cubs\scouts. Plenty of room in both for me way back then, lol.

@seanmcdonald3539 Год назад

What it was I believe is one of the crew men high-ranking had to get off the ship at the last moment and he took the keys with him for the binoculars that’s why the two watches where domed 👍

@Simon-hb9rf Год назад

the submarine story is true it was in the news a lot at the time, ultimately any signal used to identify yourself to allies would also make you identifiable by enemies. from what i remember of the story both submarines were conducting search operations looking for hidden subs at the time, generally for subs to avoid land based detection they need to travel as deep as possible and through certain channels when the seafloor is much higher. both subs were checking the same natural bottleneck area that Russian subs like to use to avoid detection so its not as unlikely as you would think, though predictable enough both navies were mocked publicly for not foreseeing it.

@gerardflynn7382 Год назад

You should watch the US Navy vs a Spanish lighthouse. It is mostly radio talk. They were heading to the med for exercises.

@stevew3196 Год назад

It did happen HMS Vigilant and Le Triumphe in 2009. Both subs were on active patrols using their passive sonar used to detect other vessels by picking up noise from engine, propulsion systems.

@ltsecomedy2985 Год назад

Of all the names our Sub could have had, it just had to be HMS Vigilant that did not see the French sub !! Likewise it wasn`t much of a navigational triumph for the French sub either !!

Submarines sonar detects the machine plant noise and most of the time, nothing else. This is the noise surrounding the reactor vessel, water wooshing through pipes. Submariners practice something called 'quick quiet', where they turned down all of that to its lowest setting and move on battery power. Everything about being on a submarine is about controlling noise, rubber soled shoes, corrugated decks. There was a story that one time a Los Angeles class left Norfolk Harbour and the moment they began their dive, their sonar picked up the equivalent of a heavy metal band's drum kit being used by the Muppet Animal. They searched the whole boat and couldn't find anything out of place. They asked another sub, an Ohio to try and pinpoint the noise, they couldn't. So, the Los Angeles had to go back into port and get checked out by the Yard officers. Who after seven hours searching found a stepladder inside one of the ballast tanks. The skipper was not happy and he did try to throttle the guy who owned it!

We had an intermittent "rattle", brand new Boat, after several days and sleepless nights of searching for noise shorts it turned out to be a Forendy tap dancing. A Traffolyte tally was made "No tap dancing on 2 deck"

@robertsibley6330 Год назад

in deep water you have varying layers of water through which sonar will not penetrate, that's why the most dangerous time for a boat is when it surfaces, that is why fishing boats were often nudged off the coast.

@GioMarron 5 месяцев назад

I worked on Britain’s nuclear deterrent (UK Vanguard Class HK Submarines) here in Scotland at the time this happened If Billy thought this was bad, they used to hit the bottom CONSTANTLY I used to dig at the Navy all the time! “That’s like driving your car into the road” As for detection, the idea is to be more invisible than able to detect other subs. How it works is subs can run almost completely silent these days. The faster they go, the more noise they produce so they either slow down or shut engines of completely, called ‘running silent’. At that point a sub is virtually undetectable. If the operator makes an error in judgement with speed or movement, the prop blades produce bubbles called ‘cavitation’ and this can be heard by sonarmen. The best can tell you exactly which type of sub they can hear by the sound, due to size and number of props. Submarines, in order to detect their surroundings, including subs and ships, use what’s called a ‘sonar ping’. This is a loud ping which relies on the sound of the ping reflecting back to the sub. The problem with that is, no matter what you do to a sonar ping to improve it, what it will always, always do is give away your position as you’ve effectively just yelled at 140 decibels as much as 300 miles away This is why subs run silent and can’t detect each other

@4390hoover Месяц назад

Underwater it's sonar not radar ,billy is still the best

@sopwithpuppy 4 месяца назад

Submarines are designed to be stealthy. They don't roam about the ocean pinging their active sonar. It is used ONLY when you have FOR SOME TIME been receiving information that there is a submerged object in the near vicinity, and you can't quite locate where it is. They may be in the same situation, not quite sure of where you are. If you go active on your sonar, and cause it to ping, you have shouted to them EXACTLY where you are, and in less than a minute, you will be alerted to several incoming torpedoes. Not a good situation.

@rogerwolstenholme2710 10 месяцев назад

The Titanic damage was a lot of popped rivets that were faulty and buckled plates there wasn't a big hole, but even so a radar scan of the hull estimated that the area of damage amounted to one square metre... and she took on 8,000 tons of water in about 20 mins. ouch !!!

@daveofyorkshire301 Год назад

Come on, to remain unseen they stop making noise, that's how they detect them. It's also how echo location (aka sonar) works. If you're out on patrol, you're not advertising your location. He is right though, a simple bit of coordination between supposed allies would have prevented it. If it was a rear end collision the one at the back was to blame, because there's a blind spot behind a submarine due to propulsion. But the one at the back should have detected the one in-front of him with passive systems, unless it was running quiet. It raises a lot of questions, because if they can't detect a submarine enough not to hit it, what's the chances of detecting an enemy submarine? That is why EVERYBODY was so embarrassed by it... Unless they were playing wargames off each other and the lead sub did a Crazy Ivan and the trailing one ran into him because he would have had to stop his propulsion too to prevent them being detected...

@alisonrandall3039 Год назад

My dad worked for a company that supplied communication equipment for the Royal Navy. To test the equipment he had to go on sea trials on a RN nuclear submarine going around the West Indies. There was no bed for him. As space is at a premium. For ten days he had to sleep where the tornado where kept.

@davidgriffithsbjjcoach7207 5 месяцев назад

Titanic trying to beat the speed record is a myth she just wasn't fast enough to do so. She was designed for luxury not speed. I heard that there was a fire in the coal bunker and the practice at the time was to shovel coal faster until the fire was extinguished. This would explain it going faster for no apparent reason. Also re the binoculars it's not clear they would help. Imagine trying to locate the moon with binoculars without knowing where it is first. That's what you'd be doing as a look out...

The Titanic sank because there was a fire in the boiler room where the coal was stored which began before the ship set sail. The heat from the fire warped and weakened the metal plates of the hull. This section failed when the ship hit the iceberg. Total screw up by the captain and crew. This was covered up in the inquiry after the disaster.
