I gave it a dislike because I don't think we should be enfolding the enemy in this way. I understand the ship is decommissioned and and destined to become a reef.
If it's going to be a reef then then send her down respectfully. Not by gunnery practice or bombs, but a charge amidships say in the engine room. Should go down on an even keel.
It's incredible how resilient the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate was... I don't think you can find a ship like that in the world capable of just eating tens of thousands of pounds of ordinance and stay afloat for another 12 hours without a damage control party or anything. A testament to American shipbuilding.
US Military Videos Japan has something like that. it has 20 numbers of 5 meter wide holes everywhere and took 5 hours. except its A WW2 battleship... a super battlship...
That took a lot more ordinance than I thought. Even the torpedo wasn't enough. And that was a DEVASTATING hit. Ships watertight integrity has really come a long way.
9:00 These cannons always crack me up! xD I don't know what it is, exactly. Just how casually the shell is being kicked out, I think. The delay and how slowly. Too funny ^_^
Torpedo's are still the most deadly anti-ship weapon. Even back in ww2 ships would absorb a dozen bombs, but one or 2 torpedo's and it was game over. japan's musashi battleship took something like 30 bomb hits. Ships arent armored like that anymore though.
WW2 torps..(up until the very end of the war) contacted the side and exploded..You can counter that with adding extra empty spaces along the hill to absorb damage...Modern torps explode under the keel and the ship breaks its own spine under its own weight.
It’s pretty cool that these ships become reef habitats for fish but can they be scraped for metal or is the ship made of other material that can’t necessarily be scraped?
The Thach sinking is evidence of how tough the Oliver Hazard Perry’s were. Took harpoons, torpedos, and naval gunfire and was still floating. Hopefully the new Constellation class frigates are as tough as the old OHPs.
They are sunk and made into man made reef's. The Ocean creatures make it their home and build around, on it. Great for building a reef and also good for diving.
@@scotty311 right...and just where was these ships sunk? Close enough to shore to allow it to form a natural reef, right? And just where in the world is there an area shallow enough to sink a ship during a live fire exercise, using anti-ship missiles or other highly explosive naval ordnance, in a test scenario? I'm sure they used coastal waters off...where? San Francisco? South Florida? Sounds like a plan created by some highly regarded marine biologist to me...NOT. These kinds of military exercises are conducted well away from populated coastal areas where intentionally sinking ships with self same naval ordnance won't accidentally harm innocent civilian populations.
The hole is underneath the ship. Torpedo probably ripped apart whole bottom part of it under the water, caved in metal we see is probably buckled metal on the fringes of the hole. I mean, it needs time to sink because it probably has various compartments and measures against sinking but after that torpedo hit, that pile of metal it is not a ship anymore.
This ship died as she lived. She served the fleet by providing transport for marine expeditionary forces, and when her useful life as a fleet ship ended, she trained sailors how to shoot and sink enemy ships. Even in her sinking she provided useful and necessary services. A fitting end for a warship. As for being able to salvage steel, prices for scrap steel are so low now that she was worth more as a live, full sized target than as salvaged steel. Cutting her up for scrap would release literally tons of sequestered carbon into the atmosphere.
I’m sure that this exercise took place at the Pacific missile Range facility just off of Kauai. I was stationed there for 4 1/2 years, absolutely the best duty in the Navy.
My first job in March of 95 was to install oak closet organizers in the master bedrooms and white wire organizers in the rest of closets in the family housing units. Maybe you know the Moore’s? Adam and Judith. He was a Helo pilot and she works as the contracting officer. Great people. They are still working there now. We (the carpenters) had one of the units next to the XO’s unit on BS 1203 North Sparrow that was steps from the ironwood trees at family housing beach. We would go surf during lunch. The Fourth of July celebration in 95-96 we had our 90 bucket truck and took people ( mostly kids ) up to check out the view of Niihau. That would never happen today! 😂
I know its probably more cost effective and provides good training and weapons feedback. But its still sad to see these warships go to the bottom. All the sailors that called them home. All the time spent training to keep them afloat if they were struck by enemy fire
Very interesting show! Not being a Navy guy my questions may sound naive. When they shoot at these ships during exercises like this. Does the Navy and the Ship Builders study the impact and what sinks the ship to help make better more survivable vessels? When the Navy shoots its guns like in the last video. Do they save the shell casing and reload them or just discard them?
This is a good time to enlist in American service because our PRESIDENT does not feed young Americans to the war machine. So you could be involved in games like this and understand how it works.
@@Togoheyhatiro1337 Это понятно. Все просто подкидывают сарказма. На самом деле тут понятно, что с помощью утила они отрабатывают учения, практически как в реальном бою. Но в реале, если его загнать к берегу любой страны третьего мира, его там распилят за год! :)
Ok can someone please add audio and maybe some lines indicating weapons trajectory. I think I could see the missile hits but not sure if some of the hits were missiles or torpedoes
This can be viewed in 3D in Corpus Christi Texas. Pretty awesome imo. Theatre is located on an actual aircraft carrier just behind pier 99. Stop in for great food and drink before and after your tour.
Surprisingly hearty hull on those Perry's. Still remember the Stark taking a pair of Exocets amidships and she survived and continued to serve two more decades. They may have been made of military grade soda cans but they were robust as hell. And a damn fine ASW platform to boot.
I can’t help but to feel sad watching this. These once mighty war ships that saw men and women give their all upon, that would have been spoken of as a ship of pride and treasured, a home, the heart and soul of a fighting unit, cast aside like garbage.
Anything that could be reused was taken out, what you see sinking in the video is due to its age, way beyond salvaging. Theoretically they could, but it would be cheaper to just build newer stuff.
For some reason this is satisfying 😂😂😂 and that one moment has anybody seen Dave? Dave on the ship aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh like that kid from home alone when he shaved
@@АлександрМартынюк-ц9й А вот и нет. Если не глубоко, то потом эти останки служат отличным домом для рыб. Причём автомобили для этой роли не годятся совсем.
inpsyde Do your research before you make a dumb comment. These ships are stripped of all hazardous material before this happens. The ship is nothing left but metal which will the decay in the ocean and add to the marine shelf providing homes as a artificial reef
Ryan Ferris - it creates artificial reefs and allows the US and allies to test the efficiency of their torpedos. How do you get good at sinking ships? By sinking ships.
USS Horne was sunk at the same range..it was also noted she just didn't want to sink I'm a plankowner stationed at Mare Island until commissioning...sea trials..good will tour of orient and carrier escort at the dmv Vietnam .
I feel being in the Navy grants a terrible end. You either drown, starve, or whatever happens when you're stranded at sea. Kinda like that Nicholas Cage movie. lel
