The Swedish Submarine that Sank a US Aircraft Carrier 

Tartan holy I read this comment as it was said in the video

not if it actually executes an attack. it would lose it's stealth very quickly because everybody would actually be looking harder.

@@mohdridzuanisa2373 no

Kaptein yes actually when tornados are fired they produce a bubble trail and the detonation of a torpedo would expose the submarine even more

@@rogrock9509 yet stealth torpedoes are being developed by the Russians ? Germany has apparently helped China do the same if Germany has a hand in it then its serious.

Outmatches everyone in Red Flag and Loyal Arrow air force wargames and now we have the best equipped sea vessels to take out the largest navy on the planet.

David Vasquez Swedes have some surprisingly good war equipment but not the military budget to mass produce

David Vasquez nah they wouldn’t be able to hold an invasion

TheCamoTrooper 450 Sweden is one of the richest countries though? Do you mean not the money to mass produce or that they don’t prioritize to mass produce?

Eric Petit they only make to defend the homeland mainly

David Vasquez yes but even if they tried against China or the us they would lose

Haha submarie-

@@Justineexy its a joke. Take it

It can't

​​@@Justineexy"Finding a carrier is difficult" yeah since you totally can't SEE THEM FROM SPACE. Besides, the submarines are built to move in the Baltic Sea, where they're virtually undetectable. The Aircraft Carrier wouldn't have gotten away at that range.

There are so many places, so many situations where this submarine would be perfect AND it has been improved since then. " One size fits all" seems pig-headed and a foolish. I think about the Danish Straits, Gibraltar, the strait between Yemen and Eritrea, Strait of Hormuz, and the Singapore Strait all of which have huge ship movements of importance.

It is, but let's not get carried away. The facts here are that the Gotland Class submarine uses an ultra silent propulsion method to avoid cavitation in comparison to other diesel submarines. It's a fun story to think about how a smaller nation like Sweden could sink the mighty nuclear carriers of the United States. But that's all it is. The war game that's talked about was when a Swedish carrier was put in the perfect situation to attack the Reagan: - It had predetermined knowledge of where the carrier would be operating - It was able to attack a ship that was not traveling at its top speed, and therefore was able to keep pace - War games do not take into account countermeasures or weapon system failures The entire point of this story is to foolishly undermine the US Navy. In reality, the Swedish submarine would have no idea where the Reagan is. It doesn't have fuel to be wandering around the oceans for weeks hunting for it. And United States Carriers rarely travel at speeds with which the Gotland can match speed without cavitation occurring. None of these factors mean anything anyways because Sweden is an ally to the United States, no other country has such capable submarines besides the United States and their Seawolf class submarines. Let me ask you something: If it were as easy to sink American Carriers by just making stealthy submarines, why hasn't China kicked the United States out of the Pacific by now? Why does Russia refuse to challenge the United States for the seas? It's because it's not that simple. United States nuclear carriers are the most powerful and well protected weapons of war in the world, and every single Admiral, General and defense member would not argue that. It's an interesting story though, nonetheless. I've just seen it dozens of times now because it's easy to get views with making videos on this topic.

Horrible4 nah us navy dogshit

Bet the captain was laughing his ass off when the US ships radioed in at the end of the games to ask wtf happened

@@Karl-Benny imagine 18 trident tipped nuclear missiles turning North Korea into a parking lot. We have submarines that are tracking the submarines that track our submarines lol.

*billions

id rather have the carrier than a sub if im a general

@@darugdawg2453 It really depends who you're an admiral for if I were the admiral of the Swedish navy I'd prefer the subs because they can silently defend the coast against a larger navy and their range isn't an issue since they'll never leave the baltic, but if I were a US admiral I'd rather have the carrier battle group because the US will have to go longer ranges and the US naval producing infrastructure is good enough to replace ships in case of them being lost.

@@villager1831 The US has defence systems capable of taking out whatever missile Russia has, and over 90% of their (Russias) nuclear bombs are dumb bombs dropped from planes.

@@owo1744 If you seriously believe that USA would survive a nuclear war situation, you either don’t know what it is or you’re delusional.

That's weak Like shit

it that fool was commanding that sub entire world would be shelling it just to stop his crappy content,

Erik Johnson no

Erik Johnson The US leased that submarine for two more years following this. If there were still any problems, they would have probably leased it for longer. In addition, these subs are 16+ years old and don’t have the technology modern subs have. Although they have noise suppression that was good by 2004 standards, they are no longer as quiet as US vessels.

@@aycc-nbh7289 "UsA USA uSa usA USA"

@@aycc-nbh7289 True, the swedish kockums have released new subs which are way better. Will be interesting to see how long it takes before US lease one of them and how many years they need in order to find it.

In a real life conflict half the task force would be blaring away with active sonar, being quiet does fuck all

This is the point of a WarGame isn't it? It's meant to test and improve the tactics and technologies used.

Problem is any time we've intentionally tried to sink a carrier ourselves it has been much harder than expected. So a wargame "Kill shot" is much different than a real life shot from a sub.

No shit, Sherlock

@@Ubersnuber Chill mate

@@DurzoBlunts well, inevitably, the methods used to 'simulate' attacks don't account for all variables. for instance, air-to-air missiles in real conflict have a pretty poor track record, but how do you accurately simulate how the real weapons and defenses function in a wargame where actually firing at the target is off limits? There's limits and factors that cannot be accounted for by any test that doesn't follow through on the actual attack. You can of course, try computer simulations, but that presents a different variation of the same problem - the simulation is only as accurate as the data it's based on, and almost never perfectly reflects reality...

you forgot to open the tube and heat the torp

* Torpedo launching infesties *

Nuclear submarines can't be detected either, it's been that way for decades. I'm sure this video makes all this technology seem new and cutting edge but stealth submarines aren't new. The thing that makes this submarine design unique is that it's not nuclear powered and can be produced cheap in comparison to nuclear subs.

@@Bitchslapper316 nuclear subs are always more loud than diesel electric boats, the only class that sort of circumvented the problem is the russian Typhoon class, only one of which is operational at this moment. they used a naturally circulating water system for their powerplant, meaning that most of the pumps could be shut-down at low speeds, meaning you only hear the screw blades and the electric engines.

@@arjentromp12 The typhoon class is 45 years old and was the largest submarine class ever built, modern submarines have adapted similar technologies. Modern nuclear submarines are as undetectable as the AIP submarines like the one highlighted in this video. The cost of development and resources is what sets them apart.

BRemO usa has all the money but 3 subs is impressive

Pro tip: Army = soldiers on land, tanks, etc. Navy = sailors on ships

I mean there is a reason why battle ships were decommissioned due to its size leaving it vulnerable, super carriers are just like that just more defended

Ye well but I doubt umerika would be rdy to conquer a land like Sweden. As far i know usa never fought a winter war in the Mountains. Swedens military is no joke on their home front.

Indeed! Sweden has some of the best arms manufacturing on the globe, absolutely world class military hardware... it is genuinely unfortunate that their government sucks so much.

While the Gripen is without a doubt an excellent platform. Especially for a nation like Sweden where their roles are defensive rather than offensive. I would really like to see the study that you were talking about. Any idea as to the name of it or a link to it?

@@cgustafson240 theaviationgeekclub.com/former-swedish-air-force-flight-engineer-explains-how-the-saab-gripen-can-dogfight-and-win-against-almost-any-dissimilar-aircraft/

The three rounds you were talking about were against Norwegian pilots. Now lets be fair. The Gripen A version which was what the article was talking about, is even with some and better than most of the fighters of its era. Meaning these were planes with 80s and 90s tech. The Gripen E is comparable to the F35 and Sweden themselves say it possibly isn't quite as good, most of which has to do with the stealth technology that the F35 and F22 have which the Gripen does not have.

And not a single time has the US Abrams been able to take out the Swedish modified Leopard 2.. Or any other country using a variant of the Leo for that matter.

Do they service the whole sub with one wrench???

@ Yes, blessed by Saint Kamprad of Ikea himself.

@@Marcusianery LOL

Jokes aside, maintenance and durability is so to speak "scienced the shit out of", and that gives Swedish equipment cheap and long usage. The Swedish SAAB 39 Gripen fighter jet cost about 4800$ per flight hour, while only the fuel costs of the eurofighter Tycoon is about 18K. And American planes are ranging from 11-35K in maintenance

You might want to actually listen to the vid and try to think a little. These subs have very limited capabilities. Then again, the Sweds don't need much.

Why is that you would think that nuclear would be quieter?

@@lostinspacestudio non-nuclear subs don't have a turbine in them but nuclear have an infinite range comparatively well only limited by human consumables

Christian Hogue ... Diesel Electric non-nuc boats are quieter when operating on batteries. Nuc boats as I was on had steam turbines and seawater pumps operating. Electric motor propulsion operating off off a battery are quiet in comparison. However nuc boats have much greater endurance over diesel-electric boats. I left submarines before the newer AIP boats were operating. I can’t speak on those.

@@lostinspacestudio Nuclear subs and ships have machinery that has to continuously run because of the reactor. Diesel subs can shut everything off to become noiseless. When I was a sonar operator in the Royal Canadian Navy (HMCS Regina) I always found it easier to find and track nuclear subs because of this.

@@SammywiseG ….The trade off is operational range. A nuclear boat can swiftly cross the Pacific from the west coast or rapidly transit towards from the east coast too the the Mediterranean or northern waters. I’m not saying this to disparage non-nuclear submarines.

Yeah, imagine using that in a ready environment... "So, why did we loose all of our subs?" *Awkward silence "You know that touch screen?"

Im proud to be a westerner. China is starting to become a problematic nation. So we need to work together.

For a blue water centered navy (USN) nuclear is the way to go. Supplies can be replenished at sea, in a small port overseas or large port at home. The gotland excels at defending its nations home watets, what it was designed for. Nuclear subs are for long extended duration missions. They'll stay under the waves longer than a diesel can for air before needing supplies only. 111 days is a long time without needing to surface. Nuclear reactors dont need to be shut down for very quiet running... They shut down cooling pumps under no speed or very slow speed and let natural convection current of water cool the reactor. Thus allowing them to disappear into the noise of the ocean.

@@DurzoBlunts the Gotland class sub use liquid oxygen so it cam stay underwater for it's whole mission

@@Rullstolsboken If thier whole mission is 2 weeks then yeah. It's right tool for the job in coastal defence.

@@DurzoBlunts I thought that even with no pumps working, nuclear reactors will vibrate unless shut down completely, and as such still be more noisy then a non-nuclear submarine can be. I heard it on Jive Turkey channel. I think he said he served on a nuclear sub, but I heard all that long ago so I don't want to say that as a fact.

@@shepardpolska Jive was a sonar man iirc.

@@markj2093 Yes, pumps can be loud but not always. Even a passively cooled reactor can create noise from bubbles or flow through the coolant lines. I was mostly thinking of (diesel) electric subs. The latest generation can use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity and the electric motors are coupled directly to the prop shaft. So, no pumps or gearboxes at all. The easiest way to find those subs might be to look for the "black hole" in the sea where absolutely no noise is coming from...

@@coledavis5212 No. It was a highly classified operation so if you want to know, you'll have to go there and ask them yourself. ;-)

Deepest secrecy by Jaime Karremann is a good book about 6 Dutch submarines operations. Gathering intelligence about Soviet Navy during the cold war..

"submarines are almost impossible to detect" Germany's Uboats were devastating convoys at the beginning of WW2, but by the end were routinely detected and sunk at alarming rates.

@Joakim von Anka Exactly. Always training and working your own weaknesses. Don't and you die.

@@PepRex from some stuff I was recently reading, about the newest Australian Subs in the pipeline. It appears that some very political decisions were made over the military brass. In buying some extremely expensive French equipment with a lot of shortcomings and cost overruns. It sounded like you guys kinda got the shaft on that one. So I would like to hear your opinion on it?

@@cgustafson240 I don't know I'm not Australian, I just know they sunk a carrier in exercises.

@Joakim von Anka Out of interest, has Russia ever occupied Sweden or made moves against her in recent times? From what I gather, Russia's military is geared for defence, similar to Sweden's. The US is one of the few nations with an occupation and projection military. Anyhow, emotions aside, I'd be more concerned about your government's open door policy to (radical) refugees leading to previously unheard of scenarios as in Malmo.

That is not saying it should have or didn't. The sub was loaned with an additional 12 month extension, thats going to have cost something somehow, somewhere from the US to Sweden, and or with a reduction or write off of WW2 or Coldwar debt, or someother exigence of classified deal to do so.

No worries, it only would have been Americans, no losses either way.
