The Ohio Class Submarines: A Symbol of US Nuclear Supremacy 

Lmfao I audibly cackled, and I'm a Cleveland and Columbus sports fan 🤣

@@LetsAllBeDecent Moses Cleveland is buried in Canterbury, CT. Even the founder of Cleveland left Cleveland...

@@lashlarue7924 FYI: Moses was born, raised, lived and died in Canterbury CT. He was a government surveyor that drew the lines for a city somebody decided was the city of Cleveland!

@lashlarue7924: ummm...are you making fun of Ohio cities? I live in Cleveland and work at the Cleveland Clinic in the NICU. I Raised my seven sons here, and five are all career enlisted military. My youngest is a nurse practitioner, has a masters degree in nursing and science . I was born in Pa., in a small coal mining town, called Brownsville, and it was a one horse town until the last horse got on a train to get out of PA. He came to CLE for better jobs. I was 8 years when we moved to Cleveland, and I will never go back. Ohio is beautiful, safe, and the most friendly people!, LIVING A Five minute walk to the shores of Lake Erie is a bonus!

​@@zombienursern4909 Zombie huh? Were you alive before you moved to the Mistake on the Lake?

Allow me to correct you, nice sir. BRAINWASHED Russians hate America. I'm Russian and I'm totally fine with the USA, I know there's more than plenty a decent people out there. Actually, one of my best friends lives in the US, Kentucky, and she's born American. As for Ukraine... you see, they failed their southern front counteroffensive, our offensive on the eastern front is now underway. Make your bets.

And we love the Kurds! They helped us hang saddam! And the Kurds are some hard core fighters

Russia does NOT h8 America duh, CHINA does get your enemies of America straight....

From everything I've heard, Kurds are some badass people. Thanks for your alliance!

My father was a contractor in Iraq from 2007-2009. Out of all the groups in Iraq, my father has always said the Kurds were the FRIENDLIEST and the NICEST people he got to know over there. They truly are an amazing ally to us!

Domgus 💀💀

It's an old US Navy practice to name capital ships (like battleships) after states. This tradition has been passed to SSBNs. The states used for capital ship classes are done on a rotational basis. There was a Tennessee class battleship for example.

That sub can make it to ohio thru new york lol

@@jeredkauffman5403you would be surprised on how much floating or volcanic made land there is, Go under or around.

Exactly and the US Navy will be building 12 Columbia Class Submarines ready to go in a few years 3x the power..................

@@Mrimpact2011well it has less VLS tubes at 16 while the Ohio has 24. Updated tech would make the Columbia better but imagine if they just updated/revamped the Ohio design.

It’s not lurking we parked that bitch right in south koreas port.

It's actually the Kentucky

I was on the 726 (Ohio) and I'm from Ohio that was cool...

u only like Carter because he was a bubblehead he's was a crappy prez.... I want the USS D.J.TRUMP in the future names...

Ohio for a reason

We can, what we call "Missile Ripple Launch", which means staggering back and forth, front to back, alternating target packages and get them off very fast, but.... the amount of force that would be placed on the hull would cause fairly severe hull warping. Chief Electronics Technician Submarine (SS/IDW) Hooyah!

you gotta see them in dry dock out of the water huge is not the right word, more like Awesome.....

Cope, putin bot.

Wrong kid, what you people do not get is that before nuclear weapons, the world used to "celebrate" a world war every 20 years or so... after nuclear weapons, that party was suspended. Nuclear weapons stopped the impetus of tyrants into world domination, for the price of their agressions would be too great.... the fear of being incinerated in a flash of light keeps evil at bay. Until humanity finally evolves into being able to live together in peace there will be a need for massive weapons like these.... MM1/SS, United States Navy Submarine Force veteran, 20 years of service 1987-2008, served on the USS Henry M. Jackson SSBN-730 Blue Crew 1990-1994, Retired here.

ALWAYS

We're ALL living on borrowed time. Dead men walking, zombies. Walking toward Eternity, . . . In a flash, a twinkling of the eye, you're suddenly in Eternity, where Time does NOT exist. Are we prepared ? NO !

It was estimated that one Trident sub (I served on the USS Henry M Jackson SSBN730) could eradicate 3 Billion people, About half the planet's population when I served in the 80's

"How far are you from the river?"

can you breathe ?

40 knots ? That would be my guess. It seems logical.🤷

Yes 40 knots which is 46MPH!

True that. The name's has been changed to RTX recently, BTW.

lol... 40 kts. Cute. Always know the numbers we say, openly, are not what they tend to be irl. As in we don't show our big sticks, we let them find out the hard way. Chief Electronics Technician Submarine (SS/IDW) Hooyah!

Yup. This video is complete garbage

They don't have more...

This headcanon serves no one. Google is your friend.

The conflict in Ukraine showcases the benefits of quality vs. quantity. The Ukrainians are holding their country, even being vastly outnumbered by russian arms and men. And that is with the vast majority of the weapons we have given the UAF being mothballed or on the chopping block, so our new weapons would absolutely destroy the russian military; especially when we have the upper hand in quantity and quality. It should be noted, though, the russians definitely do have a very capable navy, their submarines in particular. The rest of their navy..... not so much, it seems.

You don't need more than a dozen or so these giant mankind-ending subs (the US has 14 Ohio class & the Brits have 4 Vanguard, both carrying Trident II: the Vanguard carry up to 16 Trident II while the Ohio carries up to 24 Trident II). Each Trident II, as noted, carried up to 12 700 - 800lb MIRVs that are released from the "mother" ICBM/SLBM missile once it reaches terminal velocities of up to Mach 26 (or ~8.5 times as fast as the F-22 flying non-stop with after burner from here to China or Russia... which is of course NOT possible, since jet could only do that for a few minutes before they run out of fuel or explode from materials expanding, due to excessive heat). Each MIRV (again mostly between 700 - 800lb) has a blast yield of up to 20 times the two crude nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. In other words, you don't need more than ONE ICBM (or SLBM) and its up to 14 MIRVs in it ---- each MIRV programmed to land in a slightly different part of the city --- to bring immediate deaths to roughly 95% of a major city like Moscow, Beijing, LA, Washington DC, Paris, London, etc.; the rest of the population WILL get really sick and die a few days to a few months later, from the extreme RADIATION that comes out of those MIRVs. REPEAT: Each MIRV --- most ICBMs or SLBMs carry 4 to 14 MIRVs --- may have a blast yield of close to 500 KILOTONS. (The American "W88" mirv warhead, of ~800lb, has a blast yield of 475 KILOTONS. As a comparison, the 10,000 oound FAT MAN thermonuclear bomb dropped on Nagasaki had a blast yield of only 21 KILOTONS.) That, again, means you don't really need more than ONE single ICBM (or submarine launched SLBMs) to wipe out almost all of a modern city's many millions, from both immediate impact and from radiation fall-out a bit later. The US (from general nuclear weapon stockpile of around 4,500 or so) has at least A FEW HUNDRED ICBMs/SLBMs, and Russia (with general stockpile of nukes in the 6,000 range) has even more of such ICBMs.... China's over-all nuclear stockpile is between 300 - 500, so the Chinese, the Brits, and the French in general are in the middle group, in terms of how many NUKES (including dumb gravity bombs and inter-continental ballistic missiles) they have.... But we ALL WILL DIE from those few "mere hundreds" of Brit, French, and Chinese nukes... just like we all will die (several times over)... from the US and the Russians much larger collections.... Dying TWICE over by the Chinese isn't any worse than dying ONCE over by the Americans, in total nuclear exchange...

@@kiabtoomlauj6249 this suddenly brings tears to my eyes knowing the world we live in is so delicate, if someone in charge loses his mind for just a moment..

That is laughable. You haven't a clue. I actually do. Chief Electronics Technician Submarine (SS/IDW)

Military weapons are designed to remain highly effective for several decades, unlike consumer products with planned obsolescence.

Lol the Trident D-5 11 missles are extremely accurate and lethal. Their is no defense against them. They also travel at hypersonic speed.

I do... During my first few hours on the USS Henry M. Jackson SSBN 730, I actually got lost once... If you can get lost on a sub, that is a BIG boat

I love seeing this comments talking shit about the Silent Service. They sleep well at night, knowing there are men out there protecting everyone's way of life. Oblivious dolts. Chief Electronics Technician Submarines (SS/IDW)

If your looking for accuracy this is the wrong channel to watch

I could have sworn. I read somewhere that they were somewhere around 620 feet long. Maybe it was one of my old submarine books or something.

@@DarthVader-1701 I was on the Ohio so I would think what I was told was true and later models might have been longer, no 2 subs from the same class I was on were the exact same length.

It is 560' length, with a 42' beam. Period. Chief Electronics Technician Submarines (SS/IDW)

Да

SO LYING TO YOURSELF LOL

Get yo fish NUB

It most certainly is.

This would ripe the shit out of you give it half a chance 😂
