When I heard 30.5 meters, I burst out laughing - Christ it's a tardis! The boat is 353 ft (108 m), and the Jimmy Carter is 452.8 ft (138.0 m) I'd have loved it to be 30.5 meters, cos it would've been some frigin miracle they'd worked 😄
Those submarines are outdated, their sonar signature well known, their sensors outdated, the internal equipment outdated,etc. The new Virginia class are a much better and more modern deal that offer capabilities the sea wolf class didn’t have.
Based at USN Bangor Subbase in Bangor, Washington. North of the USN Bremerton Shipyard, which is located across the Puget Sound from Seattle,Washington
I don't believe the SeaWolf will ever be obsolete as it has capabilities all other subs do not have. All other classes cannot engage the number of targets a SW can simultaneously. When we finally do have a Naval confrontation with China, targeting and engaging multiple ships at once is going to be essential.
Unfortunately like the F-22 they were the best of the best ever made at the wrong time due to the collapse of the Soviet Union the US Congress swallowed the post Cold War blue pill
Targeting and engaging multiple ships at once was groundbreaking in the 1980s, it isn’t anymore. All the sensors aboard the SW are obsolete, its sonar signature well known,etc. It would literally be beaten by a diesel electric sub from the 2000s. “The capabilities others do t have..” is just good old US propaganda, the same propaganda that tells you that an Arleigh Burke flight one is better than a modern ship, just BS. It is just a way to excuse the USN to operate such expensive and outdated subs towards the US public.
@@brunol-p_g8800 @brunol-p_g8800 You have absolutly no idea what you're talking about, do you? Video games I take it? Nothing you wrote here is true, NOTHING!! All opinions that are based on ZERO FACTS
@@brunol-p_g8800 @brunol-p_g8800 You have absolutly no idea what you're talking about. All your statements are based on uninformed opinions and zero facts. And you describe deisle/electric subs as though they are obsolete noise makers when in fact they are quiter and harder to detect than their nuclear counter parts.
This is a very rare time when I say that billions well spent. Also three more should be built at no expense, with unlimited and full support by the Pentagon to achieve this masterpiece of architectural design and engeeringing. Each new GEN II Sea Wolf Class would be much bigger and have such advanced state of art open architecture and highly classified technology capabilities and features. It will be a mainstay in the US Navy for a hundred years or more. I would also like to see a submersible constructed in my life time to achieve one thing. To bring ships up from the depths of the deepest of ocean floors.
We have locally a “streetcar” agency that has two old trolly cars. There used to be three but one is a parts donor. It’s considered a “hobby train”. The USA has three seawolfs, two operational and one hit a sea mount, because top notch navy leadership allowed sloppy nuke sub operations. One of the sea wolfs is usually in maintenance (like all submarines must be at times) so we have one. One sea wolf. So that makes it something of a hobby submarine. Powerful, sure, but still it’s like having just one tank. We could have more (150 Billion for Ukraine) billions for CRT, micro aggression, drag queen recruitment plus billions and billions and billions for the useless failed LCS. Still, nice video on the USN hobby fleet.. tx
Why are all American equipment always expensive while there are other equipment of the same class from other countries that cost even to half price. Seems inflated 😂
Western military tech is unnecessarily expensive for all the other reasons, short of 'superior' quality --- it is often, when faced in war against other cheaper tech, always found wanting or easily destroyed...
I think that if Boeing and any of the other very skilled engineering and manufacturing companies put as much time and money into the world's social and economic problems. That perhaps the need for such weapons would all but disappear. Sorry you asked my thoughts.
What does one have to do with the other? Engineering is extreme precision through calculation. Humanity cannot be "engineered" to be peaceful. Humans like to fight. It's why I'm arguing with you right now.
