First boat crashes into them carrying a wedge, second boat uses the first as a jump. If they can weld AA guns to Toyota I can't see a wedge on a boat being much harder😅
@@SassyCassie89 Ahh but (there's always a butt) if the first boat isn't meant to survive, then given that the Navy really really likes blowing things up.... You get a fk tonne of kaboom in a boat load of kaboom.
@@dougaltolan3017 oh you are 100% right if you got two self exploders willing to jump in boats then that's the easiest way. Make em kids in kids boats too, even less suspicious.
I had hand surgery September 9th, 2001, and spent the next day and night totally out of it on pain meds. The night of the 10th, I had a weird, awful, vivid dream about the USS Cole attack (a family friend lost a family member in the attack, so I was particularly familiar with the attack, when it happened). I woke up, disturbed by the dream, by my mom calling me to tell me to turn on the TV, which I did, JUST in time to see the second plane hit. It's still probably the most surreal experience of my life.
I'm guessing subconsciously you heard it and it caused you to dream about it. It's happened to me before, dreamt something then woke up to the exact same scenario on the TV I'd fallen asleep in front of😊
The USS Cole was shipped to my hometown on a drydock ship named Blue Marlin. I watched it come in. Then in 2017 I watched the USS Fitzgerald come in on a drydock ship, Transhelf, after it collided with a freighter.
@@mattyice2889 actually pre WW1 sailors use to attach explosives to long poles on the front of their ship and ram the enemy. At the time, this was called a torpedo.
For those interested, the orange and black barrier shown is actually intended as a gate. It collapses like an accordion via giant winches which then makes an opening for vessel traffic.
I predicted that an USS Cole type of incident would change the naval law enforcement program back in '87 whilst I served aboard CVN-71 as an MA-2/MA-1. My shipmates in the cop shop berthing mocked me. It took 17 deaths to bring about fruition.
It's good they try to defend themselves, is to bad they don't care about our borders. Those same people that go for American ships are freely walking into the USA today.
Barcross class Boom Defense Vessels were used during WW2 to deploy anti torpedo and anti submarine nets across the entrance of of South Africa's ports. There is one in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront Cape Town.
Nice to see this finally...eons ago, before 9/11, i saw a civiliantugboat sail silently up to the piers in Norfolk NOB next to my ship as I came back to the ship in the wee hours. I ran and notified the watch and a base alert was called. Nobody really thought too much about suicide/terrorist stuff back then. Turned out the tug had an innocent engine failure, and steered towards the base away from the main channel since they had no power or lights...but it coulda easilly been somthing like the Cole...
In the 1980s I brought up the thought to some base security at Pier 12, of what's supposed to stop a cigaret boat(see Miami Vice intro) being outfitted by Soviet infiltrators somewhere up the James River with a bunch of explosives and getting rammed into the back of one of the carriers. They said it'd never happen.
@@martykarr7058 yeah...I thought it was kinda odd how there really was no security directed towards the harbor. Guess we were in during the 'honor system' days LOL
Ciws is a very dangerous system to set free around friendlies. First time one got targeted by a missile it instead started punching holes through an iowa (the unarmoured decks)
I really like them. They make it clear as a kayaker where not to go wven if it looks cool. Especially in the Bay Area. I didn't know they had a stretigic value, but of course, they do.
To be perfect must be deployed twice! A first boat explode over first barrier, second boat explode over second barrier and third boat... ...one boat could be normal, two boats seems unusual, but if guards do not open fire against three boats coming together at their ship, they deserve have a sunken Destroyer
@@twinkyoctopus I believe you do not catch my goal with 2 barriers: open fire before they hit the barrier! When you see three boats coming together toward the barriers protecting your Destroyer , no doubt, it's an attack and you can open fire!
@MikeJones50911 I just answered to @twinkyoctopus explaining that second barrier goal is to open fire before the minimum three boats party reach barriers because unannounced arrival of three boats together equal to terrorist attack (or I'll kill an admiral on surprise visit to the ship 😁😂🤣), but is possible to wait "guns ready" they enter the funnel as you suggest. I believe enemy's force/terrorist with two barriers will soon change tacticts into a swarm attack using unmanned surface vessells trying to overhelm defense capabilities, but two barriers anyway make it difficult a coordinated strike cause you have to break them in near points
@@twinkyoctopusThing is if anybody's actually Manning the guns. Take pearl Harbor for example. They were in the middle of an event and many of the soldiers were wearing their dress whites. Or dress blues. They had to scramble to get to their Positions.
in WW-1 the Imperial Italian Navy had produced net jumper torpedo boats, a flat bottom skiff like open boat with catapillar type tracks to pull the boat over torpedo nets to gain access Austrian harbors.
I'm really fond of this idea yet think that they should do 3 to 4 layers of the barriers, it wouldn't be that hard for an enemy to have one or two boats in front of it that would explode on impact into them letting another boat blast through to get to the ships. With a few layers of it the guards on duty would have plenty of time to react. Just a thought
Been in the navy for 25 years, you don't see these barricades everywhere, wish we did, instead they just now do all refueling at sea instead of in port.
They added them in San Diego after a guy who was a want to be pretended to blow up a Nimitz class carrier and swam in board then about 1-3 weeks later they added those fences. Depending on where it depends on what kind. Some boats just play the let’s see what you will do until the patrol boats 🚤 come in .
I wonder how a larger ship would fare against the nets. I’m sure some damage but they’re also made of steel unlike the smaller boats that are made of plastic and fiberglass.
Good idea but now these days that's not going to do nothing because all you got to do is pack with explosive,get one boat that's remote control send it into the barriers exploded them and have other boats not far behind go through that hole and it's all over. So at the very least they got to have multiple barriers, I hope they also have something for drones to stop them when the ships are in Port.
Yeah it was a sad story about the USS Cole it was at Doc refueling when it was hit. so it happened at the most unfortunate time and probably a very planned operation to wait for the ship to be docked before hitting it they knew it would be a easy target
@@jamescoull7402 Port of Aden Yemen. October 12th 2000 I think it was off the coast on a refueling platform. Crazy to think 24 years later these crazy terrorist are still around doing the same thing
