I was always very interested into low frequency radio, total amateur though. I always wonder what the receive only antenna on a sub might look like, I only know the terrestrial stations for that are super sized.
@@chrisw.5138 There are several types but one of the main ones used is a very long buoyant cable that floats on the surface and is towed behind the submarine.
My grandfather helped design those ohio class subs. Those were his babies! retired from ELECTRIC BOAT and then died from cancer due to asbestos from working on subs in the yard at a young age. RIP Gramp the Vamp! Hell of a man!
My former brother in law was part of that crew of this Sub. Its been DECADES since my sister divorced him but he was only about 5'4 tall but a great athlete. The tests he took to be part of the crew was no joke from what he told me of this one particular mock event of the Sub flooding while trying to fix the leak of a cramp low area. He said he simply stay calmed and held his breathe until the bubbles come out as I assume a sign to lower the water. Most of the crew are short.
Having served on an Ohio class submarine, there are quite a number of errors in the layout of the spaces depicted in the video. Without going into too much detail I can safely say that there is no large medical space in the front of the sub.
Agreed ... Hull is made from HY100 Steel covered with Anechoic tiles. Nobody ever mentions types of countermeasures, mine deployment, and other types of weapons.
Since you were a submariner, could you tell where are the bow and stern thrusters located?What are the curved shaped tanks in the launch tube area used for? My guess is they are for emergency blow. possibly to launch missiles, but I thought the missiles were launched using a type of explosive like an airbag in a car. In a big tube next to the silo on the 3rd floor.
@@terryakuna66 As I mentioned, there are quite a few errors in the layout, plus some information is classified and I'm not able to discuss certain details.
@@rob46711 I guess I should assume the question about thrusters are classified. I understandI, my dad was an Electrical Test Director at Mare Island. He would go out with a boat for sea trials, or after an overhaul. I ask him' "how fast and how deep?" off and on my hole life. I even asked him when he was on ICU ready to check out. And he still said, "he can't, it's classified." Took it to his grave. He was a patriot. 20 yrs with USAF and then Mare Island. I recall seeing those curved tanks in a booklet showing piping schematics for Washington class. Curved "banana" tanks fore and aft to blow ballast. Anyway ... I been researching sub info for a few months now because I'm building one out of Lego "minifig scale" with full interior. it will be around 13 ft long. Images on my Facebook page. Ug, just typed my life story .. no wonder my fingers hurt.
yes these rooms are very generalized, The Conn is not layed out that way, iE ESM area, also the Navigation room where I worked behind the Conn is completely wrong in its layout, chart table, ESGM's SINS, Monitoring console, etc....and yes there is no medical room in the bow, Conn hatch does not go to the top of the sail. so many more.....but I see the effort that went into making this and well done.

Someone should edit these machine narrated scripts for pronunciation - I could feel the collective wince of sailors everywhere when it pronounced "bow" like a bow & arrow... it's pronounced like in Japan people bow to each other...why I don't know....

@@craigcooknf No. A small portion of the VLF wavelength will work for receiving. VLF is used for one-way communication only: reception by the submarine. VLF wavelengths are so long that transmitting VLF from a sub is not possible, nor do submarines have the high radio transmitting power necessary for VLF. Also, transmitting a VLF radio signal from a sub could give its position away.
I learned how to qualify on the S8G. It’s amazing what knowledge isn’t available to the public but I found the video a good general explanation for those who didn’t serve.
Interesting, but some incorrect info here regarding radio communications. VLF (very low frequency) radio waves have extremely long wave lengths, not short.
I was stationed on one of the first 5 Ohios in 1984. The forward compartment layout is wrong. Medical is in the Missile Compartment starboard aft forward of the O2 generation machinery room. Torpedos are flushed out with a HP air driven turbine water pump that flushes the torpedo out of the tube.
@@maxfreedom1710 China gives not a single fuck about location of toilets on american submarine and their naval analysts know about american submarines more, than average american submariner does ;-)

Ohio class never had anechoic tiles. When this class was introduced, USA did not have this technology and when they received that from British, unlike on american SSNs, they never installed them on their SSBNs. I did not figured why. My theory is, that these tiles are effective against active sonar during fight and Ohio should never get itself into fight. And when you do not need to damp active sonar then anechoic tiles are burden (because if they peel off, they increase passive sound emission of submarine). VLF is one direction communication. From land to submarine. Submarine lacks antenna capable to transmit on that frequency. Sonar is used in active mode only in specific situation, like in battle. Otherwise active sonar always reveal position of submarine. Ohio class really do not use Mk54 torpedoes. No american submarine does. It will need special adapter to be able to fire 324mm torpedo from 533mm torpedo tube. Tomahawk with conventional warhead does not have range 2500 km. Roughly half of that value is correct. Higher value is for nuclear warhead, which weights 1/3rd of conventional one and spared room is replaced by fuel. PDX-57 does not store 2,6MW of energy, it would be just 722 Wh and this will be extremely poor energy density even for lead-acid battery. In fact, they store more than 10 kA-hours at 2.0V of nominal voltage, so at least 20 000 Wh at weigh roughly 953 kg it is energy density 21 Wh/kg, which is not bad for Pb battery but also not great (for example Kilo class is using Pb batteries with energy densities from 37 Wh/kg at rapid discharge to 52 Wh/kg at slow discharge). Whole Ohio class batteries capacity is 2,6 MWh (it has 130 PDX-57 cells which are producing via inverters stable 240VAC and 155VDC used on american submarines). Although I admire your 3D animation capabilities, I have to say, that layout and cutaway is more your imagination than reality.
Thanks for the info. There is little to no information about Ohio Class submarines online. Most of the info were taken from news websites and wikipidea. Thanks for watching.
@@sygdesignworks I know, Americans are extremely secretive about anything in their navy, despite fact, that those information foreign inteligence obtained either by humint or technical analysis long time ago. Some times in joke I am saying, that USN is kept secret even bowel movements of their petty officers. This is why I did not insult you or was not sarcastic towards you. My knowledge about american submarine classes was gathered during decade long searching, crosschecking, papers studies, discussion with former american submariners and soviet Rubin engineers and video scooping. There is no ultimate and all knowing publication, which would encompass them. So I understand, that not everybody have these information at disposal. You made mistakes, some of them I corrected and that is all. No hard feelings. I am glad, that you tried your best and result is not bad at all.
I was on subs and say to people that submariners are perfect for a trip into space because we actually go to another world that we cannot survive in without the ship for long periods in this world, I once did a 127 day patrol during the Cold War, 100 days underwater....
I'm super excited about our new Columbia class submarines. The sonar will be super advanced high tech they will be able to hear the steam and bubbles in a reactor in an enemy submarine💯
Around 16:40, the batteries are said to deliver so many watts of energy. Strictly speaking, watts is a unit of power (energy/time), not energy. Also its a bit odd to express battery power, unless the duration of time over which that power is delivered is stated (i.e., total energy = power x total time delivered)
My solar battery setup uses so many batteries and each one is limited to100 amps. Knowing the volts, I can figure out the max power delivery by the LiPO4 batteries. But the real delivery limit is my inverter. Back on the old (now ancient by comparison) submarine we used MOTOR GENERATOR sets that delivered AC power which would power the Reactor Coolant Pumps etc. But as you pointed out, that has nothing to do with HOW LONG the batteries can supply that amount of power. You can get an idea of how long that is by making an estimate of the volume of the batteries that is possible and that will lead to HOW LONG they can power the essential loads needed. In most scenarios, the real limit is how long you need to get to PD (periscope depth) so you get a DG started. That will be the real op limit before you need to get the reactor restarted but on the old boat, the DG fuel tank was used as shielding for the reactor and that had plenty of fuel for a lot of hours. Running the DG at periscope depth or on the surface out in the open ocean is no fun as big waves close the intake when it goes underwater at PD and on the surface? Well it doesn't take long for even the 20 year vet chiefs to get sea sick as they aren't used to it either. The goal is to get the reactor restarted and get back to depth where everybody can relax.... I remember in the N Atlantic with a typical winter storm, huge waves sitting at PD getting beat up. One of the EOOWs took a simple instrument failure and screwed it up into a reactor trip. I'd give him shit even today for his screwup because I remember that night very well. I was new RC (reactor controls) div officer and that was frequently a first job for new officers.
Amps would have been the correct term to describe the energy available? As an accountant by trade, but have recently gotten interested into working on my own cars (since its so hard to find an honest mechanic you can afford these days) I've started delving into both the electrical systems of cars, and even stereo components. Electricity is pretty weird and so often taken for granted it's been interesting to learn how both AC and DC work. That almost everything that creates electricity (ex. alternator, computer) make AC current and then a rectifier is used to change it to DC. And how everything Tesla invented back in the 1880's is still being used today for power generation with little change to his design. What a brilliant mind. But I've Learned quite often its only a few dollars part that cause either your car or stereo to malfunction. It's just finding that cheap and often made in China part that is the challenge. lol. thanks for the comment. I just hate the idea of tossing something out when with a little effort you can cheaply fix it yourself, not add to the landfills, and save ya $$ to boot. take care.
When diving we used to put 8 oz Styrofoam dixie cups in a garment bag tied between the inner and outer hulls. When the boat surfaced, the cups would be crushed to the size of a hard thimble but was otherwise a an exactly proportioned miniature dixie cup. Of course, they were an exact, physical record of our dive depth and the higher ups collected them from us so as to keep our diving depth secret.
I don’t think they told you everything. A lot of the information is classified. You forgot to mention what software you used to make the amazing video.
From the design stage in the early 70's, to its launch in the early 80's, it was a very impressive machine but that was 50 years ago when computer technology was in its infancy. I'm not suggesting that up-grades were not periodically addressed but we've entered a totally new era. An era of global surveillance, satellite networks robotics and most of all, artificial intelligence that will allow for un-manned, coordinated, swarm attacks and that's just the beginning. The carrier task force and the fighter jets it carries are obsolete as it the 50 year old SR-77. The Chinese already have their own JPS network giving them the ability to locate anything on the globe perhaps even underwater. The Big Boys in arms development are already showing up in Washington with plans to counter these threats but as with EV cars, we can't compete. Chinese graduates 6 million engineering degrees per year and the US 80k and half of them are Asian students studying in the US.
@@tomascernak6112 Hot racking isn't the norm on tridents but on occasion it does happen. We had riders one patrol and a couple of the FNGs had to do a little hot racking. Thankfully (for them), the riders weren't aboard the whole patrol.
I served on the USS Enterprise CVAN-65, as a Nuclear Machinist Mate, so I'm familiar with the nuclear reactor section. What amazes me is how they get all the other stuff to fit! I felt crowded on the aircraft carrier!
On my boat, everyone wears a TLD. I am sure you know what they are. Did the nuc guys aboard a carrier have to wear them? The accumulated amount of radiation was kept in our service records. Once you accumulate so many rads over time, the Navy wouldn't let you serve on a nuclear vessel again. We had a couple of guys who wanted out of submarines. Over a 12 month period, we had 2 guys caught sleeping against the wall of the reactor compartment. They both got out of submarines. They were both court martialed. lol
The entire sub you can see isn't actually pressurized. The outer, black hull you see is a free flood area of the sub for several reasons. The actual inner "pressure hull" is the smaller, pressurized zone used by the crew underneath all that. This area is sometimes called the "people tube" for this reason.
Lots of lessons were learned from Thresher and I put the first sub with SUBSAFE into commission as a result of that accident. We were the first submarine since the accident to not be depth restricted. Nuclear submarines have always had diesel generator back up from the beginning. You just can't run them submerged without snorkeling or you would burn up all the air inside the hull in a few minutes.
Very informative. Frightening how the Trident II can carry 12 to 14 nuclear warheads. It looks like there could be at least 12 of them on one sub. That's insane firepower 😅
@sygdesignworks 87 megatons is nuts. I think submarines are the scariest weapons right behind nukes because they're everywhere & nowhere. Silent assasins!
If any of these subs launch their tridents, it's well past game over. Either the MM2 and bombers on alert got caught in the silos or at their bases, or not enough FAFO nukes survived post launch. Either way, it's back to the stone age.
@user-yq3fz9ch5q nah, the nuclear apocalypse is absolutely over blown. The scary part people want to avoid thinking about is that a nuclear war will absolutely fuck shit up, but it won't reboot society, many many of us will survive along with a battered infrastructure, the ugly truth is we will probably live and have to deal with the literal and figurative fallout.
Actually the British have surpassed the US for decades. Their boats are FAR more advanced than ours. Their reactors are 2 generations ahead, we only just started using HPR when they were using 2nd generation HPRs in the 80s. Read "Running Critical" if you want to see just how far behind we were/are. The USN is the biggest bunch of conservative blockheads in the US military. They only adopt something new after they have had their asses handed to them in public at least once. They thought airplane were only good for recon until Mitchel sunk a battleship with one bomb. They insisted that Battleships were the Kings of the seas until aircraft carriers dominated in WWII.
Ohio class submarines with the BQQ-6 Sonar system don't even have active sonar. All we had was an under ice transmitter for pinging ice above us. Tridents don't engage in ASW. We ran from all threats to remain hidden to end the world
When I was a kid, I built a toy sub out of plastic foam, put in a fair amount of led snots for ballast and tried to achieve neutral buoyancy by adding very tiny chunks of led wire. I wanted to see my sub soared in the depth of my bath. It never happened. Floating sub always sunk .Neutral buoyancy is quite unstable state, could not be set for a more or less long time. The better accuracy of the math - the less speed sub needs to maintain “neutral”buoyancy.
ALCON, if you served on either attack, or boomers, please refrain from violating opsec and your NDA. You may no longer serve, but those serving now need all the opsec they can get. Retired army, loose lips, sink ships, or in this case boats.

Having spent 10 years on this class of submarine. You were close on some things and way off on others (ex. Sonar dome is free flood and not accessible except when sub is in dry dock), plus location/descriptions of most of the compartments are wrong, but overall , nice video as it explains some things and is entertaining.
I served on the Henry M Jackson. SSBN 730. Did 4 patrols... We left Bangor WA. Went to sea... Came back to Bangor... That was the extent of my "Join the Navy, see the world". lol
This is obviously made from a submarine depiction. Understandably not due to the author, however not accurate to the detail that makes it sound like a cakewalk. For example, DOC'S space is not even in that compartment and is 1/4 the size depicted. Also, we only have 1 IDC. This video makes it sound line a full medical ward with surgery. It's not. Don't get me started on laundry, it's 2 washers and 2 dryers for over 200 people. And they usually break or catch fire😂😂. The author did the best he could do. Clearly a lot of work went into this video.
@@sygdesignworks there is one sickbay and it's in MC2L starboard side aft of CAMP (no dentist) medical staff is usually 1 corpsman. There are also only 2 washers and dryers on board and they are in MC3L Starboard side just fwd of AMR2 which are where the hovering pumps are.
Very nice the only problem is the information about the sonar, Submarines use two types Active and Passive You described their active sonar quite well but its not used all the time or hardly at all as it gives away your position to the enemy as well as tells you where it is. Passive sonar is using both the ships hull mounted hydrophones as well as the towed array which is a cable the sub will drop behind itself and is covered in hydrophones allowing the ship to listen behind its screw as well as grants the sub a better idea about what is around it.
Trident subs are not equipped with active sonar. Active is for tactical warfare. Tridents are strategic weapons, and run from any potential threat to retain their designed purpose - Nuclear deterrence
Quite entertaining, but with some notable lapses that even a surface puke like me could catch. Having finished up my 8 in Rickover's navy in 1977 on the USS Enterprise CVN-65, I was out long before the first of this class hit the water, so I'll leave the detailed review to others. But you should have studied Tom Clancy's books before you made this. It would have saved you a few winces.
@@tomascernak6112 Tom Clancy's claim to fame was the accuracy of how he depicted the operation and deployment of some of the high tech military hardware in use at the time. For example, his descriptions of the operation of Los Angeles class submarine sonar systems hit way too close to the mark for the "Silent Service" After "Hunt for Red October" came out, he was actually visited by DOD security personnel wanting to know where he got the "inside information" for his book. Both Clancy and Larry Bond (of Harpoon fame) ended up needing to prove that everything they used in the book came from unclassified and "open source" material. There is more than enough information in Red Storm Rising and Hunt for Red October to have prevented several of these bloopers.
@@johntrottier1162 Says who? He was never visited by any DOD security personnel. This is utter nonsense. If there would be suspicion of leakage of classified information, he would be questioned by FBI, which is only agency allowed to do such interrogation on US soil. Whole myth emerged, when Clancy was invited into White-house to lunch after HfRO novel became bestseller and there he met Navy Secretary John Lehman who in causal conversation asked him about topic of his relatively precise description of some details of american submarines. Clancy answered, that he did research from public domain sources and that is all. He never needed to prove anything, because his "facts" were combination of well known information and his imagination. It really buggers me, how exactly would HfRO prevent any blooper in this video, when Ohio was in that novel mentioned like 10 times and If I remembered correctly, only in vague reference to silence.
I'm not sure if Tom Clancy's book is a credible source of information, but thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at it when I'm making another one on a submarine.
@@sygdesignworks He was back in the 90's, so obviously, some of the information has become dated. But before the collapse of the "Big Red Machine" things such as sonar tech, SOSUS and encryption were all closely held. The fact Clancy's books explained this kind of stuff so that Joe Six Pack could understand it shook up a lot of brass. Another good source is "Blind Man's Bluff". That book provides some amazing insight into what the Silent Service was up to (down to?) during the Cold War. While at prototype, I only heard a small (very small) part of what they were doing out there in the depths during the 1970's. What little I heard was more than enough for me to decide that being on the surface was a prudent decision.
I found this one of the most interesting posts that I have seen on RU-vid. Thanks! What is the difference between the eighth generation nuclear reactor for US nuclear submarines, and the previous generations? The French Navy has been using the same nuclear reactor to power their Aircraft Carrier and nuclear powered submarines over quite a few generations of the submarines, if I am not mistaken. What was the need to fit these boats with eighth generation submarine nuclear reactors?
Unfortunately there's not much information available about the nuclear reactors. Not just the reactors, there's almost no info available about Ohio class submarines in general other than the basic specifications. US govt maintains a lot of secrecy about the navy tech more than the aerospace tech for some reason. Thanks for watching.
One of the main design goals was to extend the life of the fuel.....that is, more miles per gallon. That equals fewer EXPENSIVE refueling periods in drydock. And they got there.....the newest boats have cores that never need refueling in the 40 year life of the boat.
Weapons grade and submarine reactor fuel is above 20% enrichment as far as I am aware, which is also called Highly Enriched Uranium. Normal power reactors only used 3-5% enrichment fuel. Just some extra info.
The reason the screw design is a secret is because if you know the design of the enemy's screw. You can determine what frequency the screw should be producing.
It's a a job. I served aboard the USS Henry M Jackson SSBN 730 Gold back in '86-'89.... Now on Facebook, I am constantly being asked questions from folks I went to High School with. Looking back thru their eyes, it should be the most exciting thing I have ever done.. But I am a wizened 59 years old.... Then I was a dumb 19 year old who know EVERYTHING.... It was just a job
@@darthnihilus511 You are more than welcome. The biggest misconception about Trident submarines are that people think to films like "Das Boot" so they believe even modern day subs are tiny. A Trident is nearly 2 football fields in length. New guys aboard were always getting lost their first couple of days... BUT, it wasn't THAT big. If you had not learned your way around by your third day, maybe you should have joined the Army. lol
I like the movie. But you make one mistake. At approx. 3.35 you say that Low frequency radio has shorter wave lengths. This is not correct. The lower the radio frequency the longer the wave lengths become. So LF Radio has long, not short wave lengths.
Well to a soldier this stuff is very cool, we only heard about this stuff, hell all I drove was an APC and an old ass jeep, I miss that APC , anyway nice video, thank you and thank everyone who served 👍
I had no idea a ballistic missile can reach orbit in that short of time. Of course I'm not a rocket scientist so I have to go with this video. I'm guessing the sub has to be fairly shallow when launching. I'm sure that's top-secret maybe. From the comments I see many errors where made but still interesting I personally don't go under ground or water so this job is way out for me. I'll go to space though without hesitation. Flying fan.
Launch depth is not top secret. It may still be classified but if so only Confidential. Actually there is very little on a Trident that is Top Secret. Radio because of cryptography. Upper level missile where the targeting packages are programmed into the SLBM's... Been nearly 40 years since I served, but as far as departments go, those are the 2 most highly classified. Quartermasters because of navigation. I had a Top Secret clearance as a Sonar Tech, but I don't ever recall reading anything TS... All our tech manuals were merely Secret
Nice. The listed designation of the Tomahawk's engine is out of date. Originally designated the F107-WR-14A6, then designated the F107-WR-103 by Williams then designated the F112-WR-100 by the USAF.
