Between the runways for jet fighters and the constant buzzing of activity on the flight deck, hides a small but intriguing detail that is often overlooked: a small hole that incessantly discharges water. What could be the function of this mysterious hole? Is it merely a drain for rainwater, or does it conceal an engineering contrivance essential to the operation of the ship? #usnavy #aircraftcarrier

Over 360,000 illegal aliens jumped the USA border this year. Does anyone monitor or care about the environmental impacts and discharge of that sludge... I would say that about 10 Aircraft Carriers could take a great big giant dump in the middle of Manhattan and not even close to equal that....

That seawater is used to cool more than just machinery. I was on the Forrestal in 82, as a radar ET. The radar I maintained had a water cooled transmitter. Of course, you can't use seawater to cool electronics. The radar had a distilled water loop that cooled it. However, that just transfers the heat away from the radar transmitter and into its cooling unit. There was a freshwater loop that cooled that cooling unit, transferring the heat from the cooling unit to a neighboring pump room. In that pump room, that freshwater loop was cooled by a constant flow of water from the fire main. Which is fed by seawater, as are most things that don't need freshwater. So, ultimately, that water flowing out of those small holes also completed the cooling cycle for my radar, transferring its heat into the ocean. I once had the radar shutdown, overheated. Found that someone doing maintenance on the valve that connected the fire main to my pump room had closed the valve and forgot and left it that way. Which meant no saltwater to cool my freshwater loop. So, the freshwater loop could no longer cool the distilled water loop. So, heat accumulated and the radar shutdown. Thankfully, no damage done to the gear. I think we added a tag to the valve identifying it as belonging to a critical radar system. Also back then, trash disposal while at sea was simply over the side in bags.

@@steveurbach3093 SPS-43A, actually. Its antenna was the one on its own platform hanging off the outboard side of the island. Biggest one on the ship, with a grid about 10 feet tall and 30 feet wide. Long range air search. My cruise was its last. We went to SLEP right after that, in 83, and it was replaced by a SPS-49. I don't actually remember a SPS-30, to be honest. There was the SPS-37 in its dome at the back of the island. Also on its last cruise that year. Cute story: The tech that took care of the 37 pretty much "lived" in the dome. The only time you found him in his rack, was when he was sick. The dome was nicknamed, "Freddy's penthouse", since his nickname was "Fast Freddy". Near the end of the cruise, as a joke, he submitted a request chit to have that 37 dome moved to his mother's house in Jax, FL (homeport). Everyone up the line played along with the joke, adding comments about "the emotional impact of separating him from the dome", etc. It actually came back approved and was hilarious to read. And, no, he didn't actually get the dome. Just the chit as a memory.

All ships have overboard discharges. Seawater is used for machinery cooling such as air conditioning, refrigeration, diesel engine cooling, just to name a few areas that use it. Also the CHT system goes overboard at sea. Other areas needed for overboard discharges are in the scullery for the potable water overboard on the garbage grinder.

Pumping/flooding voids with seawater to keep 4° list to port for landing craft. The sea on recycle, keeping all safe.

@jeromethiel4323 Месяц назад

The simplest and truest answer is Fire Main. You always have fire pumps running, as you use fire main water for other things than fire fighting, and you ALWAYS want fire main pressure. And since a centrifugal pumps needs water flow through it to avoid burning the pump up, you need to dump unused fire main water overboard. Even if nothing else was in play, you'd have fire main water going overboard. But you do have water ingress into any ship or boat. So you always have bilge pumps. That and every ship i have ever seen generate water you need to get rid of.

Some of the holes that release water is also water that is used to cool the shaft bearings that drive the wheels. Thes bearings need to be replaced and repacked a couple times a year. As a Deckhand and a Mate, I have had to help the maintenance engineer with this procedure many times. There are other areas of the vessel that are cooled by water as well.

@desmond-hawkins Месяц назад

Explanation is at 9:44, aircraft carriers need to expel ballast water, water used for cooling, and they generate waste water. All ships that people live on have systems like this, not just aircraft carriers. Did this really require a 17-minute+ video to explain? This should have been a short under 1 minute.

@dennisk5818 Месяц назад

Very interesting video. Unlike a battleship, the aircraft carrier appears to have more structure above the waterline, and that the hull below the waterline appears 'narrow' by comparison. This has given me the feeling that the aircraft carrier it 'top heavy'. Yet, when seen making powered tight turns, they don't tip over. Seeing one in drydock, the lower hull profile doesn't look like the CG would be low enough to offset the huge mass above, even with a compensating ballast. Sort of the concept of an upside down iceberg. What are the physics going on here?

The reference question was about the small holes just above the water line that is seen constantly ejecting water, not about the holes in the flight deck, or for the anchor, or in the bottom of the hull below the surface. I would guess that the holes along the side are for the ejection of ballast water which constantly accumulates in the hull, mostly because of condensation.

I am also impressed how they are able to soap up the entire deck all at once, and then scrub it with a line of personnel with brooms to make it look squeaky clean!!! When it drys you would never know there were any fuel spills, hydraulic oil spills, or aircraft lavatory spills (aka poop & pee and the chemicals that break them down to a liquid) ( if they even have lavs on military aircraft). Happens every day at every commercial airport… So now, these degreasers have cleaned the decks and are washed overboard to feed the fragile sea life. Ok, the degreasers broke the contaminants down to their molecular or semi-molecular components. I don’t bang on the military for doing this!!! We need them to be at “Tip Top Condition” with the utmost of safety for our boys and girls…. But this shi! Goes on in the corporate world 100x worse!! We don’t see commercial carriers doing this with no constrictions… De-icing…(Snow/Ice Climates) - Spraying thousands of gallons of “Antifreeze” to clear snow and ice off commercial aircraft…Heated ethylene glycol mixed with water… Where does it wind up after application??? In the ocean, streams, rivers, or maybe in the ground where it eventually gets into the water that wells we pump out of!! Are we allowed to flush our auto cooling systems by letting them dump into the storm drains? No I know I’ve gone beyond the aircraft carrier subject, sorry

@nathanigel Месяц назад

How is the sewage disposal handled?

@maxdugan7449 Месяц назад

generators, a/c, and excess bilge water are discharged through the small holes. Sea water is chilled and discharged for the ship's a/c system. The generators that produce electricity require sea water to flow through their heat exchangers as a means to cool them. Finally, excess water in the ship's bilge is discharged through the small holes.

The whole compartment kept flooding and ships company told us it was our problem and to use buckets. 🤬

These drain holes, need to have air pumps installed to make fizzy (aerated) water, and draining out, provides such ship-water friction-water interdiction. Having air bubbles along the ship's surface, reduces/removes water friction, allowing the ship to go faster without water resistance !!! Already other commerical cargo ships are doing this technology of a water slipstream, and the US military should be considering this technology for all large naval vessels, increased speed, increased maneuverabililty, and decreased fuel use.
