Delta SSBN Sub Brief 

Ryan, shome of the thingsh in thish room don't react well to buletsh.

@@1KosovoJeSrbija1 Nice Lithuanian accent.

Marko Ramius was from the part of Vilnius known as “Little Shcotland”.

Actually they did. The Yankee class K-219 was lost after a missile detonation caused by a propellant leak.

I was reading about the ME 163 rocket powered fighter the other day, which had a similar kind of liquid fuel setup by the sounds of it. Apparently in one accident a pilot was "dissolved", not sure if I dare read into the details...

Cool brave

Whatever happened to the great Salamander Books?

@@user-lq6ku3xn5t Great series. It get me hooked in Air, Naval and Land warfare matters. It was perfect for beginners; excellent artwork and diagrams and a easy to understand text. Still have them after all these years (in paper and pdf)

The American "Turtle" was a early sub back in the American war for independence. Where they would physically hand crank the shaft to power the ship to a British navy ship. Drill a hole into its side planting a charge, try and crank the other way to back up and get away before the bomb went off.... I class her as a sub as she is fully enclosed and had the waves go over her. If she could dive it was only few feet tho I doubt that deep even......Today I don't think her getting to "dive" that shallow to run along just under the surface (just under the waves) would really count as a true sub, but as I said shes a early one.... Back in the days of sail and wooden ships being king of the seas...

Turtle was a submersible. But then so were the boats of WW2! The true submarine only arrived with nuclear power when the boats became completely independent of surface operation.

well, this tends to happen when you murder big part of your intellectuals few decades before ;)

when it didn't talk they took it out back and shot it

Yup, throw weight includes warheads, pen aids, guidance system, dispenser, and post boost propulsion (PBV) if equipped.

Yeah, 1.1T seemed awfully light for a complete ICBM.

Yeah, but when the Delta goes BRRRRRRT the world ends.

not exactly but ok...

@ Eddie G Yes, exactly. Flexible Response ended long before the Deltas. ANY aggressive nuke goes off and it’s MAD.

I'll second that request! That would make a cool vid.

Well, either very interesting or very short. 😁

Thank you.

Ever hear of the USS Lexington? It was an early US aircraft carrier. It had a neat turbo electric drive where there was no mechanical connection between the steam turbines and the propellers. It used a dynamo to drive an electric motor much like submarines and diesel electric locomotives. In the winter of 1929 to 1930, Tacoma was without power due to low water levels in Lake Kapowsin. The Lexington tied up alongside and powered the town. In the Ice Storm of 1998… several locomotives were driven off the tracks to provide emergency power to several villages. Just because someone is using something for power does not mean it isn’t operational. Maybe it turns out that deterrence isn’t as important as basic needs.

@@calvinnickel9995 Yes, but why not use as SSN or an old Yankee rather than your new improved SSBN with the improved missiles?

@@andrewcox4386 Unlike an SSN, these SSBNs could perform their mission and hit their targets without going to sea.

I don’t recall that killing 7 astronauts like two of the worst space disasters in history as a result of an inherently unsafe overly complex launch vehicle build by the lowest bidder. Read up on the 737 MAX or Hard Rock Hotel collapse for more recent examples of runaway capitalism. Remember… the Russians are the only reason there is an international space station, have had an almost uninterrupted presence in space since the 60s, and were the only ticket there for almost a decade.

@@calvinnickel9995 I'm am aware of the impact of "late stage capitalism" on safety records. And I'm also aware of the stellar safety record of the russian Soyuz. My point is, while Russia is capable of building good, reliable machines, it's mostly on a bespoke basis. The mass-produced goods are seriously lacking, in part due to the attitude of workers. I think this is an outgrowth of socialism - when you're working in the factory on stuff that is not nor ever will be yours, you kind of don't care about quality. Combine this with lacking quality control on the management side - gotta reach those quotas! This sort of thinking was prevalent during soviet era, and it seems to have stuck in peoples' heads.

Thanks. "Lox" is often used to label liquid oxygen for rockets and such. Wouldn't make much sense to use oxygen to put out a fire....Haha

Having a double hull design means that the pressure hull design can be better optimised for pressure resistance, while the outer hydrodynamic hull can be designed with much more flexibility to accommodate things like missile tubes and machinery and optimised for low drag when moving through the water. The two hulls can also provide some protection against torpedos which would explode on the outer hull, and hopefully at least some of its energy would dissipate before reaching the inner pressure hull. Because things like missiles in tubes don't necessarily need to be contained within the pressure hull, they can be put inside the hydrodynamic hull and surrounded by water when the sub dives. Having the missile tubes outside the pressure hull could be advantages from a safety POV but it also allows for a smaller pressure hull or even multiple pressure hulls which can be individually sealed off which can be a significant safety advantage.

Maybe didn’t want to prejudice against the sailor because he was a volunteer. Put him in an easy role until trained up. Poor fellow.

Submarine service is usually voluntary (even in countries where military service is compulsory) because of the demands of a the unusual lifestyle and the inherent risk. As such, I suspect that even the Soviets had to allow that forcing people into a 40' x 300' tube for two months with access to nuclear weapons is a terrible, terrible idea (on top of that, submarines do not have a secure brig like surface ships). Considering the frightening reputation of Soviet submarines, it may not have been easy to find volunteers, and so they take who they can get.

Weird that a person that doesn't speak good Russian is serving on board of a submarine, and not just any regular boat, a Boomer at that

it certainly adds mass. i don't know if you've seen the typhoon brief but they said about half its mass was sea water. i'm frankly shocked they could break 20 knots pushing around that much water.

Acoustic tiles are used to hide the magnetic signature of the sub as for sound proofing the inside all machines are mounted on rubber points but as for any other measures idk but it's an interesting thought.

@@montys420- *ACOUSTIC* do you know what that means? that means sound deadening. rubber has no effect on magnetic fields.

@@montys420- Magnetic signatures are hidden by running a current through the hull to create an inverse electromagnetic field to attempt to cancel out the ships natural one.

@@oldfrend the acoustic tiles aren't just made of rubber a few countries developed there own tiles and have them classified and hidden from allies as well as foes, and they do help in hiding the ships magnetic signature plus hiding the ship from sonar there correct name is Anachoic tiles reduce the chance of returning sonar as the rubber absorbs the sonar and stops it from being returned to the "sender".

@@watcherzero5256 yes they do run an electric current through the boat to reduce the magnetic signature and has the biggest effect on hiding its magnetic signature but Anachoic tiles help with this also as the boat need to continually have its magnetic signature "wiped" regularly with the electric current and theres situations where it can be degraded during a deployment and therefore the Anachoic tiles help out a fair bit when this occurs.

I'm not telling, you. Your move

LoL. Everyone knows about the Status 6 and the Zircon missile, but internet capabilities are Classified Above Top Secret 👩‍🔧🇺🇲🛠️🇷🇺

Praise be to Jesus! wooo

Google Hyman Rickover and safety.

They wouldn't make 6 of them if they had no money, i don't think they are that dumb

@@samulivainionpaa9338 They only made six which underscores how expensive they were and proves that these vessels helped to break the back of Soviet tyranny.

@@zoperxplex Six is a lot for a vessel that expensive, it's not like it was their only SSBN anyways. And it was not a bunch of boomers that caused it to break, that's for sure

@@samulivainionpaa9338 Of course the Typhoons alone could not account for the break up of the Soviet Union but couple the Typhoons with the Tbilisi class aircraft carriers (later the Admiral Kuznetsov class), the Oscar class SSGN, the Kirov class cruisers, the Sovremnney and Udaloy classes of destroyers and the Sierra and Akula classes of SSNs along with their nuclear ballistic missiles and army and you can readily appreciate how the total weight of this defense apparatus can bust the bank of the old communist regime.

Evil is Evil no matter what you call it.
