Why US is Switching to this Massive $9 Billion Nuclear Submarine 

The first true military submarines weren't introduced until WWII? Negative. Germany alone had almost 50 subs at the start of WWI and nearly 15 different types from minelayers to littoral attack subs. Very disappointing to see this misinformation being spread and unfortunate for the viewers who don't know any better.

I've noticed that these videos are either right on the money with the info they provide or just completely wrong. Also I've noticed they start out talking about one subject or a certain piece of equipment and usually end up talking about a different subject altogether by the end of the video 😆

Plenty of German subs in WW I.

I did 11 patrols on an Ohio-class. I feel old now seeing that they are close to getting decommissioned ....

Hello keep doing like this love you and love USA 🇺🇸

Real confidence inspiring !! A highly trained crewman 4:17 using the wrong size wrench performing maintenance on a 9 billion dollar sub.

I was flying an F-15 near Iceland back in 1991. I saw the biggest damn submarine just under the surface of a very smooth ocean (rare in that part of the world). I reported the location of the sub over the radio back to command on Iceland. Upon landing....I was met by a Navy Admiral complaining that I had given up the location of a US sub that had been hiding for "a long time". Sorry - he should have sailed deeper. Cool thing to see and totally unexpected.

We're simply fascinated with your videos. Thanks from Calgary, Canada.

the Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat and the United States entered WW1 when Germany engaged in unrestricted submarine warefare against US shipping vessels In WW1 submarines were hugely impactful and were in large part a responsible agent for causing the US to ultimately engage directly in the war This video was just hugely disappointing for flubbing such a basic historical fact from it's very opening sentence. Goes to show how everything is basically trending toward Idiocracy (i.e., no rigor, poor standards, lack of subject matter knowledge, etc.)

I have watched your every video . It is mind blowing

I think we've got a solid contender for The Most Pointless Video Of The Year award.

Bro love from India

I don't enjoy hearing my mother describe this boat. She makes it seem so practical.

I served on the USS Andrew Jackson SSBN 619 from 1969 - 1972. It was commissioned in 1961. The first SSBN the USS George Washington SSBN 598 was commissioned in 1959.

Right now the Ohio and LA class are reaching the end of their service life. As for the Fast Attack the LA has some issues that have had to be dealt with during their service life, their ESM was far inferior to that of the old 637 class as they were designed primarily to be aircraft carrier protection and ASW. There are other operations tasked to Submarines that the LA is not really all that good at. The Ohio class is OLD, I mean the first of this class was constructed in the mid 70's they are getting very old.

The new Columbia class subs are going to be fantastic!

A model for musical scoring!

Never talked about a comparison of this new sub to the Sea wolf class submarines !

In my day we had the layfayette class. Then the ohio's. Now the columbia's. Keep it going guys.

Between the b-20 being replaced by the b-21 and the ohio with the columbia, things are going to be nuts. Both of those legacy systems are still top in the world, and have been since introduction. Both of these systems are going to be crazy.

wonderful....Thanks. Reminds my Days in Indian Navy....

I have ideas for submarine warfare. We need to dominate underwater like we dominate the air.

2:08 “former” referees to the 1st one, I think you meant latter.

Awesome sub!

What happen if the nuclear ☢️ submarine gets hit in regards to the environment?

9 USD BILLIONS? Forget American Children's Milk Powder

Seeing the dolphins escort the boomer brought back memories of coming in to Charleston on a bright summer day & having a “biological escort” & knowing your family was just a short distance away was exhilarating! Awe to be young again!!!

Navy says "If it moves... It can break." Marines say "If it ain't broke... Don't fix it."

Great video! Incredibly detailed, however, I am left with one question why is the officer "spotting" the guy on a machine lift?

The first keel was laid for a Columbia class SSBN, USS District of Columbia (SSBN 826), on June 4th 2022. So they are off the drawing board.

So in 2022 Virginia class doesn't exist??

Navy recruiting video, read Craig below!

It's quite a submarin, a real one, super nice and very very effecrtive goal but never, ever, have I embarked on such a submarin: just to see where you sleep, I'm running out of air !!! I find you very very brave !!! Yessss...!!! 👍🏻 😉

More artillery 👍♐️

Submarines were used to great effect in WW1...

The video didn't seem to answer the question of why we are buying the new subs

So basically this vid still didn't explain much about why the new sub except the normal reason, more advanced quieter, yet all only on paper, everything changes as tech improves

I used to think stuff like this was an extravagant waste of money. The actions of Putin the last months have totally changed my mind. I was wrong.

What about the Virginia class subs? I’ll bet the newer class subs will be fitted with hypersonic ballistic missiles.

WHAT??? Military subs not until WWII??? Ummm what about Uboats???? Ask the folks aboard the Lithuania about that

We need a sub like a aircraft carrier in size and function maybe even a troop carrier that can even sit on the ocean floor or a fleet that work together like that

What about the submarines during the revolution and civil wars ??

WW1 not WW2 saw up the introduction of military subs. Get it right.

I was at yoko-suka!! lol

Just think about the Lusitania!

I want much larger submarines. A full-sized 3 Michelin star kitchen; a sauna; a cinema; a full-sized gym; an ice cream machine!; a poker room; a room for LAN parties; a tv room for watching sports games. All this here-live--in-this-cramped-rat’s-nest nonsense, that’s no longer of this time. I want my war fighters to be pampered. Of course, there’s going to be room for a full-sized SEAL team. But they are used to harsh conditions so they’ll sleep on the cold steel deck and they’ll be having cold MREs.

Please lady, only air independent subs were introduced in world war II. But submarines were introduced in the nineteenth century.

"The first true military submarines weren't introduced until WWII." RMS Lusitania SAY HER NAME!

Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦👍🏿❤

The next round of military budget cuts is still yet to hit so don't hold your breath on seeing very more if any 🙄

“ In order to remain at the forefront of submarine technology…”you’d need to be at the forefront of it to start…

sail mounted dive planes, aka, Fairwater planes

Deterrence and effective technology are capable to put a strike on every nuclear potential enemy first before they even believe that something will happen !

But will they have the caterpillar drives?

The problem with power seems to be, "it corrupts the holder of it." The holder of it is corrupt.

9 billion dollars for 1 sub. Incredible.

In "Crimson Tide", with Denzel Washington, the Chief of the Boat tells us that the hull crush depth for their Ohio class sub is 1850 feet.

Quite a bit of incorrect things said in this little video. Please don't forget to check the things you think are true. You need to get an education from the United States Military. I'm just speaking as someone who has been there.🇺🇲

If that country calms down and stops attacking random countries just because they can, this world would be in peace.

long hours of work. i was on submarine tender and stationed in first of kind nuclear repair shop R10/38N . worked 7 days a week 12-18 hours a day. sometimes even up for 2-3 days at a time yu might get to take a one hour or two hour nap in chair then back to back. maintenance and repair of the nuclear reactor on the subs. worked in the dry dock a lot. even did the zinc team a couple times.

9:37 ..... I get claustrophobic just watching!!

What's wrong with submarines dating back to the 90s? That's only 23 year old equipment.

How many non-total submarines do they have?

Evidently so it can be used to sabotage underwater gas pipelines in the Baltic.

Germany had an effective Submarine force during WW I.

Wow, I had no Earthly idea the US has 70 subs. I thought there were 12 boomers and 12 attack subs.

German i oats of WWI (One) were devastating pieces of war machine technology.

Not even a minute into the video an she says "...these underwater *defenders*"? I guess it depends which perspective you take but I guess one generally sees subs as attackers.

Powerful

Women and men in those close quarters for months on end.I thought the mile high club was a trick getting in, these guys have a 800ft under club, very limited membership.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Submarines were fully engaged in the First World War for both the UK and Germany.

Welcome America Allies, America Allies, help the Philippines to have new submarines, which are fully equipped, fully advanced high-technology that are fast, strong, new, for greater security, and greater defense, of the country Philippines.

Someone should have done a better job editing - if you look at 4 min 17 seconds, you'll see someone trying to use an ill-fitting open end crescent wrench on a bolt head. Get ready to ruin that bolt head! Would never happen in my day (1977 - 1982, USS Sam Houston, SSBN 609)

Why are you guys misinforming people?? Subs were used in WW1 (The Great War). Germany made U-boats and that’s one of the reasons why the US got involved in the war.

Not a good editing. The pauses between the speaker's sentences are just too long.

military submarines were used in WW1...

At the height of the cold war....around the time the Cuban crisis took place..... Kennedy told Khrushchev ""We, the USA, can destroy your country, Russia, 7 times over!"" Khrushchev's answer! ""Comrade,... President of America...we are very happy to be able to destroy your country just once....that's enough for us"". Has the US learnt anything ever since? What about, instead of spending trillions on futile military might, ......what about looking after its citizen....universal health care, pensions....addressing social injustices.... The US....the wannabe champion of the free world.....incarcerates more of its own people than any other country in the whole world. And there is more poverty in the US than in any western world country. Cheers from Germany

"Most types of warfare have been around for hundreds of not thousands of years".... is this an essay of a freshman that needed a certain amount of words in paper in order to get a passing grade?

2:07 *latter

How or maybe why, is Arco ARDM-5 a national treasure 🪙? 🤔

We needed a scene where beautiful women in bikinis were frolicking on the snow at 5:56, and then the giant sub burst through the ice right toward them, as if it was attracted by their looks. Sending them screaming off-screen in disarray.

No submariner worth a damn says 'Fire'. Fire is a term that is used for only ONE thing: an actual fire onboard, PERIOD. The term used is 'launch X'

The fact that this sub was built for 9 billion, and Twitter Musk deal is 44 billion? Hello...anyone home?

Thought we already had nuclear subs…

@1:50 _”Currently the US submarine fleet includes twenty-nine Los Angeles class fast attack subs, and eighteen Ohio class ballistic missile subs.”_ Technically correct, but the fleet also includes three Seawolf class fast attack subs and multiple newer Virginia class fast attack subs.

The newest submarines do not use "the latest in technology, like sail-mounted dive planes.." Those have been deleted since the Seawolf class, (which is no longer being built) in favor of retractable bow planes now being set into the hull itself.

Watching that guy using an open end wrench on a bolt sends cringes down my spine. He doesn’t know what a box wrench is or a socket?

Being a former Navy guy from decades ago, this was a refreshing reminder of what our fine sailors do to protect our country and international waters. Thank you!

45' dive angle... that would be quite a ride, especially in the kitchen! :D

The US is "switching to" one expensive submarine? Ummm, no. They will continue to replace the fleet with the latest designs and tech as required. By the time very many of a particular model are built, another improved version will become available, and then that will replace others retiring from the fleet. In other words, sub procurement is working like it has always worked.

My grandfather served in the USA navy during WWI on a submarine.

I gave after the first minute, breathtaking lack of research especially since the first military attack by a submarine was during the American civil war and it was Germany during the great war who perfected their use.

You mean WW1 right lol that’s a big error

“Birthing area of a destroyer is by no means comfortable” I never slept better than when I was underway on a DDG. There is something about the motion of the ship that just knocked me out. You get used to it especially when it’s a 6 month cruise.

As an introvert that don't mind some good brothers in arms in a small space. I vould love to serve under water. But because im born with a blood sickness that make me have a low immune system. I was not allowed to get in the military 😥 The day I passed the military service check with 9+ out of 10. I got real hyped. Until the last station was with the doctor who had my medical records. "I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have been called to be here because of you blood sickness. That will put your team in risk of getting infected if you get sick". As a young boy at the time with no father figure my entire life. I was pumped to be in the military and become a real man. But that dream was smashed and I took it real hard 💔 But as an adult now with a daughter at 12y old. I've figured out my own way of being a man. But I'm still interested in the military and its "fancy" toys 😅

5:20 "When diving water is pumped into the ballast tanks, allowing the vessel to sink" 1. Water isn't pumped into the ballast tanks. The ballast tank vents are opened & water comes in from the bottom pushing air out the vents above. 2. The vessel doesn't sink, it dives as previously stated.

They had submarines back in the civil war. You know the Huntley? Also WW1 they were very active. For the love of God.
