CNN's Will Ripley reports exclusively from one of the most powerful warships on the planet, the USS Mississippi, a U.S. nuclear submarine that's on high alert for threats from China. #CNN #News
We are all indebted to these amazing sailors. Thank you for your service and sacrifices. We are a military family, and we know the sacrifices and hardship.
Nope we aren't all indebted we live in a County that's constantly Invading other countries for resources. Are we indebted to them for what Are US government has caused in Ukraine? Are we indebted to just these sailors for choosing this line of work for a future career or because it was the only way out of some shit town they live in. Maybe they Chose this option to get a education so suddenly we need to be indebted to them. That's a Asinine statement. Should we be indebted to the U.S government for the games they have been playing with Russia using Ukrainians as cannon fodder? It's this kind of patriotic brainwashing bullshit statement that let's this nonsense around the world Continue for the military industrial complex. And because of us being the world's biggest terrorists the U.S dollar is now going to tank this economy is fucked so who should I be indebted for that? My country can't give me heath care no less during a covid pandemic When they've sold out to the pharmaceutical company so should I still indebt myself to people brainwashed thinking they are saving the country while only helping destroy it for a few people pulling strings and installing puppets in our country and around the world Until the rest of the world is sick of us and then kills the US dollar. yes let me get on my knees and service these amazing sailors.
Repent to Jesus Christ “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 NIV
The Silent Service, best part is that you probably never see them coming, great interview with the COMSUBPAC himself. USN Submarines in the Pacific are truly the Wolves of the Pacific, ever since WWII
All of these silent service personnel should have had their faces blurred out in basic dignity for their own personal security, but absolutely -- greater OPSEC !!! What the Frigate was the USN thinking here allowing this documentary upload in an era like this ?!?
Yaaaaaawn. What are these guys doing in other nations backyards??? When Commodore Matthew C. Perry of the US navy sailed with his fleet in Japanese waters in 1852 they woke up a nation that should have been left alone. You guys know what happened next. And you also know what will happen if you keep provoking others. You will get what you wish for and it will come back at you with a bigger bang than 9/11.

Submariners, I have such an unenviable respect of the utmost high for you. Such an unnatural braveness. This is bcuz what goes up, of course must come down. On the other hand, what goes down....is not guaranteed to come back up.
LOL @3:47 they never let the poor guy finish his punchline. He was saying work doesn't get boring because he he's going to know what he's going to do - but I imagine he was going to say "then something else comes up and ends up being a new challenge." They cut off making it feel like he's know what to do and then just does it.
Yeah, I imagine the last thing the U.S. military wants people to think is "boy, all kinds of crazy things happen down here on this nuclear war machine!"
The world's best are Taiwanese with microprocessors. Accurate munitions. Being ahead of competitors & rivals is why Joe Biden passed the CHIPS Act to limit China's access to microprocessors. Thank him.
Sounds stupid to say it ---- because both enemies and tons of wacko Americans think the US has been UNDER funding its military (or that the corrupt guys have siphoned off all the money), despite the US having a $1T a year defense budget (add about 25% to the publicly reported $85B and you're on the mark, in federal spending) ---- but the US Navy is more powerful than all other navies of the world combined. China has "hundreds" of small, coastal and fishing boat like ships; but the high end, ultra sophisticated ships, both surface and under water, that the US Navy has, no other nation has them. I think China has recently tested its first nuclear propulsioned sub; but that means it'd take another 15 to 20 years to get half the fleet the US has and still be 20 years behind in actual experience... due to the much more dangerous environments subs and crew both have to deal with, from literally one minute to the next... because a mistake on a floating ship, even very bad one, allows the possibility of some or all crew to bail out. Under water, one minor fire or explosion could turn deadly within a minute or two, for 100% of the crew... so again it'd take China DECADES to catch up to the US in the fielding of safe, sophisticated nuclear subs. China CAN'T steal that kind of working experience; you simply have to learned it by trial & error, over DECADES of safe operation....
For everyone’s situational awareness, the surface navy (Destroyers, Cruisers, Carriers, amphibious ship) are called SAILORS. Those serving on submarines are called SUBMARINERS.
At Naval training school, ALL students, enlisted, officers, naval aviators, seabees AND submariners are required to recite the sailor's creed at the beginning of every day
There is fascinating and incredible history out there about our attack subs. They did some crazy stuff over the years. I saw one leaving Pearl Harbor several years ago. We flew over it as I was coming in. They just look mean. This one was sleek, black as night and you immediately knew they were serious business.
Fekkin clickbait showing an old battleship and then going into a submarine. Here I thought we were making a horrible decision to reactivate something like the Iowa class BB
China might have more ships than the US, but in terms of technological advancements and absolute advantage in terms of asymmetric warfare, China is decades behind the US.
As a Kiwi in New Zealand I am very thankful for the US miltary, army, navy and airforce. Feel a little guilty we can’t help much more being so small (and broke) 😅
Too bad our dumb government wont allow nuclear ships or subs here. They are even now kicking up a stink about Australia acquiring nuclear subs and are worried about their use in the pacific
Australia appreciates New Zealand for what it contributes , it all helps . During WW1 NZ sent approximately 100,000 troops to fight in Europe , out of a total population of about 1 million , 10% of the population . Aussies and Kiwis love to compete in sports but the ANZAC spirit will always overcome any concerns between our two nations . I worked in NZ for a year or so , loved it to bits . Do not feel guilty about anything , being a Kiwi is something to be proud of . Cheers form Oz 🙂
Bruh what 😂 you give us world influence around china you help us out wayyyyyyyy more than we help you you are fucing brainwashed 😂😂 china was not gonna invade yall lol
New Zealand contributes what it can. We in the US rely on all of our strategic partners globally to make our military the capable fighting force in the world.
@@smegoz such as? what other then the turk muslims in china they steal the resources from and genocide, obviously i study my own history more so i know about ours but could u educate me on some China imperialism
@@smegoz china imperialism is something you made up? the reason why china is revisionist is bec the usa imperialists and wars destoyed the country forcing them to become revisionist. china builds infranstructure in countries and is fighting climate change better then the usa. the usa has built military bases all over around china. china did not go around bombing and invading countries thats not pro amerika. now get lost "cia bot"
I have highest confidence to our military no doubt about that. Highly confident God blessed for Army, Navy Marines, all branches. God bless him and God God bless United States of America.
@@bigt6665 I was there when we started F-35B training for HMS QE and me and my shipmates have nothing but the highest respect for the British fleet and their role in aiding us all around the world. Hooyah Navy.
I was on one of the most powerful ships in the Navy. An explosives ship. If the ship were to blow up we'd have one of the most powerful "BOOM's" of all.
@@Drew-be5dh Sir: The dominance of unregulated Social Media Companies that mine and sell our information without restraint, run websites that allow people to make dart like character assasinations without any accountability, and have changed two generations of younger Americans into Lemmings is NOT the America I grew up in. Sorry, but that's the truth and this society must get control of this groupthink reinforced by technology.
They mean the sub has a lower sound profile than the movement of whales in water. Whales are only particularly loud when they are communicating with each other.
The USS Mississippi (SSN-782) is a Virginia class, fast attack sub. It has no nuclear tipped weapons on board. At least not what you are thinking of. They carry MK48 torpedos and Tomahawk cruise missiles. This is a smaller boat than the much larger Ohio class, ballistic missile subs. They have 24 launch tubes that carry the Trident II SLBM. Those are what you are thinking of. My son is an officer on a SSBN. His mother asked him where he sleeps on his boat. His response was, "Between #4 and #5..." I had to explain that to her. She was not pleased. GO US NAVY!!!!
Anyone can have the worlds largest navy if you count every canoe and fishing boat as a navy ship. If you look at it by tonnage, china has 80,000 tons, the US has over a million tons so really, chinas claims don’t mean shit.
The United States is interested in safeguarding the profits of monopoly capital, which carries politicians in Washington around in its pockets like loose change. Imagine the uproar if China or Russia or any other country for that matter said it aimed to exercise military control over land, sea, air, and space to protect its interests and investments. This amazingly has been the stated United States policy since 1997. The United States demands that the world bow down to its leadership. A failure to do so is met with the full force of the international military-industrial complex controlled by the U.S. government. Enforcement has included everything from the funding of opposition forces in sovereign nations, the removal or even assassination of political leaders who refuse to toe the line, economic sanctions, and military intervention.
You've made very insightful comments. Your perception is keen and on point. Thanks. Too bad many other folks, in the U.S. and elsewhere, haven't come to your same realization.
Most researchers would say the Russian subs are on par with the United States with slightly less silent or equal sonar signature but superior weaponry on the sub. China is 8-12 years behind in terms of the subs though which is why Russias subs are fearsome. They have been making and engineering subs since the beginning. That's why if we allow china to her closer to the russians then the 8-10 year ahead sub tech we have over china will be brought down to zero or even china slightly ahead should Russia transfer it's highly sensitive and advanced submarine tech to china
Only on paper. Russian subs, like all their ships, spend most of their lives rusting away at their moorings, the boats are not properly maintained and the crews get little training. They're not as bad off as the Russian surface fleet, but that's about like saying something is not quite as toxic as plutonium.
these submariners are the tip of the spear. The tech is nothing without the people. Our people are the best in the world. Erin, it's not all about size!!! gessh.
@@vitalsigns2679 lol, a few third world countries choosing to use another third world currency isn't a threat. It's a joke, and you're obviously too stupid to see just how hilarious it actually is.
How? The US held Afghanistan for 20 years from the other side of the planet. The US was able to take Afghanistan and Iraq within months, and hold them for 20 years. The taliban just went and hid in holes like rats.
@@kyle-ld2gh the US is the greatest military power in the world, but they should seek help in politics and Nation building, because this is what they f****d up in Iraq and Afghanistan, luckily in Ukraine this problem does not occur, the know what they want, they only need the rockets and other stuff from the US
Diesel subs are quiet when under. They run on battery, which makes no noise compared to a nuke that has to have coolant pumps running 24/7 which are loud.
Malc Floyd ~The US has its newer version SR-72 Blackbird aircraft that flies high above radar to anywhere in the world. No one else in the world has this 👍🇺🇸
I salute these highly trained and motivated sailors who stand watch 24/7 to keep us safe at home. They are the best America has to offer generation after generation...the silent service is unique in its personal sacrifice to service. Whenever you meet a boat sailor, please thank them and if able, buy him/her a drink...they deserve it.
My son is an officer on a SSBN. What he has done to get to this spot in his career is amazing! Though he did say to me once, "I didn't know there was this much paperwork in the NAVY!" LMAO!!! 🤣 GO US NAVY!!!!
We don't tell them what we really have. Everyone knows we have torpedos and nukes n shit. It's the specifications and capabilities of those weapons, along with truly classified technologies that give us an edge. The US tends to downplay it's capability much of the time.
