HELIOS is only installed in DDG-88, while the less powerful ODIN (which is only a dazzler) is in six destroyers (DDG 100, DDG 104, DDG 105, DDG 106, DDG 111, DDG 113)

1:55 Blueprints say 6" / 47 caliber triple.

I believe another idea was to build a submarine aircraft carrier.

TODAY . . . the Chinese outnumber our total surface combatant count world wide. The Chinese are building the equivalent of the entire French Navy every four years. The U.S. Navy is under 300 surface combatants and have been shrinking. The U.S. Navy cannot even replace attrition at present. Our Logistics Support Fleet mostly run by the Military Sealift Command is old, shrinking, and must grow to support current operations . . . forget about trying to support a growing Navy. The Frigate was supposed to be coming out very soon, but as it is . . . we MAY see one in five or six years…so expensive Destroyers is the only game in town with their high Operations and Maintenance budget that goes with them. We have NO CAPABLE SMALL SURFACE COMBATANTS!!!! The fastest way to turn around the deficit in Surface Combatant numbers is to build for the ESCORT requirement that the Navy let go over a decade ago, and told the Military Sealift Command - Merchant Marine Fleet to steam alone and afraid. With friends like that who needs enemies. That solution would look like a more heavily armed USCG Offshore Patrol Cutter painted grey and having a multi-warfare capability. The U.S. Navy needs a new Aegis Destroyer Escort that can be built quickly, built in more than one shipyard, can be based at smaller ports like USCG Cities as we stand-up a new Reserve Destroyer Escort Program. Eastern Shipbuilding has delivered the first OPC to the USCG with a complete Technical Data Package (TDP), which is something that the LCS never accomplished, and the FFG-62 program is still struggling with . . . and the frigates are already under construction(?). Eastern should be provided the opportunity to build the balance of the USCG OPCs (10-units) and develop the TDP for an Aegis Destroyer Escort. An abbreviated SQQ-89(V)X Anti-Submarine Warfare Control System (ASWCS) should be installed on all USCG OPCs to increase Anti-Submarine Warfare capability. Now we do not have enough of MSC ships to support our fleet with NO SPARES in the wings. GREAT PLANNING? The new John Lewis T-AO must be upgraded to AOE capability and another shipyard brought on line to build them. The Marines want a new next-generation medium amphibious ship. Study and development is taking way too long and they are still years out from anything. We should buy 'off the shelf' and bolt on upgrades. Multiple capable candidates exist with designs that are already mature. Select one and move out.

Nice work! One of the main reasons for the USSR Kiev class “heavy aviation cruiser” failure was that its primary aircraft, the Yak-38 Forger VTOL was just a lousy aircraft with a very short range.

Very concise and enjoyable- Bravo Zulu (USN phrase for job well done!)

The Russians scrapped their only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, two weeks ago. It had been in drydock, being "refitted", for eight years.

I think this was a good video, I think its a pretty smart decision of you not to talk all that much about American politics atm. Very Volitile and Dogmatic. I would be interested in a video about other countries military industries similar to the one you made about American Military industrial complex. Otherwise overall Great job!

Extra bad

You are the only US American that has spoken about this, Wars for America is gonna cost them more and just imagine the debt that US Govt. has to deal with and countries trying to ditch the dollar as the reserve currency. There's probably more issues globally but too lazy to type it. Thank you for the video.

Bro you should talk about my country

Great work bro keep at it

Contracting officers are allowed to request official and unofficial cost and price data from the seller on large DOD contracts, as outlined in Section 15 of the FAR. While sellers can technically price gouge if the sellers price is considered too high the buyer has the right to cancel payments and even entire contracts while still holding onto the product. Make no mistake, the DOD will always get what it wants at a price it is atleast semi-comfortable with.

Fact check. America hasn't caught up with its rivals in hypersonic missile technology; there is no operationally deployed hypersonic cruise missile being used by US forces. Though the US has greatly increased its artillery production, it will take literally years to get to the production level that Russia alone has today. Then, how do you know the US stealth fighters are "a hundred times stealthier than the Russian and Chinese counterparts"? Because Lockheed Martin told you so?

DEWs(Directed Energy Weapons, although they weren't called that at the time) have been used on Terran battlefields for over 30 years(Yes they were used in battles in the 1990's). They are nothing new, although the power, size, portability and intent in use has evolved in the last three decades.

Great video

Cool video.

The whole atmosphere and lasers. Average Americans literally have no idea about science

Great video! Keep them coming !

Just a friendly reminder: When talking about individual consoles you refer to them as "units". "Copies" is used when referring to an individual software sale. There are many more problems plaguing the gaming industry right now though. Making games more profitable certainly is one of the bigger ones but it goes hand in hand with the publishers pleasing the shareholders more than the customers by releasing the same old stuff with improved graphics over and over again instead of bringing something fresh and new. That's basically why indie games are so successful right now: They do bring innovation. That however is always threatened by the fact that the gaming industry always was pretty nuts about patenting the most basic concepts. Those are rarely enforced until now but if they are it can easily ruin a smaller studio let alone single indie dev. We will see how this plays out with Palworld where Nintendo just filed a lawsuit against because of some obscure patent. One of the very few cases but this could become much more common with more and more indie games becoming successful. Then there is the trend to always improve graphics. The gaming industry currently faces the problem that games just get way too expensive because the graphical fidelity is costly to implement, and more often than not the other aspects of a game like a good story suffer from it. This dramatic increase in production cost also comes down to in-game purchases being used to offset those costs. An increasing number of games are just not profitable anymore. And those are just a few of the problems. Studios are being lost, skilled talents leaving the industry because of various reasons, most notably the abusive working conditions, etc. I expect at least one major publisher to file for bankruptcy rather sooner than later atm. Possibly Ubisoft. It's a really exciting time right now if you like to observe and a horrible time if you just want to play AAA games. There are plenty good ones still but that might change in the coming years.

You should make a gaming channel and fact check COD games

This is a stupid video. First the US has no dog in this war. Russians invaded Crimea in 2014 since Obama and biden were so stupid. Then in 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine since Biden (again) and Kamala were even less capable to lead than in 2014. Trump is a hero and will end the war in a Russian total defeat.

I LOVE YOU

so would those ever be used to compensate for the kessler syndrome going totally exponential?

Has anyone tried a railgun?

As for a spin launch and humans, I've always been fascinated by an idea presented in a sci-fi story, where space ships were launched from airless colonies effectively by giant rail guns, so the ship's rocket propellant usage was minimized. The passengers were protected from the hundreds of g's of acceleration by being immersed in a tank of water with a breathing device during the launch. (Later, that water would be purified and used as the recyclable water supply, then used for passengers again at a catch decelerator -- essentially a rail gun in reverse.) I'm not sure how much compressive pressure there would be, but it seems like this could work up to a point.

I had some friends who were in Northern Vermont during early testing. They reported the booms, and later found out the source. The original effort was US/Canadian. And to allow access to the cross border activities there was an "approved" border crossing for this purpose, only. At the VT/Canadian border. The mention of "sabot" is not complete. A "sabot" is part of the projectile the surrounds the "bullet" or "rocket." It contains the business part of that which is to be shot, and it falls away or disintegrates upon leaving the barrel. It seals the propellant gases until it clears the muzzle. It protects the barrel and projectile during the firing. Some modern tanks shoot very hard penetrator bullets within a sabot shell. Without it the bullet would damage the barrel which is much softer metal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Research_Corporation gives some background. The project for space launching faded away. But many of the lessons learned were incorporated in late artillery guns, giving them more range. Somewhere there was a report of a gun the Germans were working on that was a monster. The Nazis wanted to shoot at England and France, beyond any artillery range. The story was... A very long barrel. And along the inside of the barrel were explosive charges that would detonate as the projectile past them. Each pushing the "bullet" faster. Essentially like a rail gun where each magnet gives a little more push along the rail. Only this push was chemical not magnetic. I think "too cumbersome to be practical," described it's demise. (If true.)

"Shoot the mooooooon!"

Also I had a question from right field is your favorite sea animal a dolphin by chance?

Chat is that rizz

yesterday I prayed for a thorough introduction of the Taiwan crisis. God delivers. great vid

Good job for a new chanell mate .

It submerge not fly, so its a submarine not a drone.

Good job with this video. I just subscribed. Just a comment, your audio level is a bit low. Keep up the good work! Slava Ukraine!

I served in the Army as a Bradley mechanic. So since I am a land battleship expert. I obviously can spare some ideas for simple water battleship stuff. Because I have crossed a few creeks. So just give them biggie guns. Nuclear go fast go long tech. And allot of roman candles for pretty CNN war footage at night. Boom deadliest ship to ever get a skin in World of Warships. You're welcome.

I picture a multirole battleship like design. Base it on the Iowa footprint and replace the main guns with about double to triple a missile cruiser load out as a start. Aft ad a two bay four craft hanger for helicopters/VSTOL and a well deck (Smaller but like the Landing Assault Carriers) The well deck would be used either for special ops or the augment the Landing Assault Carriers. To replace the bombardment feature of the classic battleships above the hanger and forward taking much less space than the old main guns mount two pair of rail guns with w 5 to 15lbs hypersonic slug. Also perhaps add a powerful laser or maser weapon that with the railguns would be electrical powered reducing explosion risk of the old main mags. With a nuclear powerplant, CWIS and 5 inch secondaries you could have a 40-45 knot Swiss army knife of a warship able to operate either on it's own or augment nearly any fleet action. In the 80s a missile battleship was proposed but the fail point was too many missiles on one platform and lack of production in volume if ever needed. By only doing 2-3X the missile cruisers and using the remaining space for other weapons and roles it would gain back much the classic roles such ships once had in a prior era. Plus that hanger add a smaller short hanger deck above for misc. drones (while useful should the ship take a pounding the upper hanger is not vital and would place the armor deck below and an center armored riser between bays for the guns. The flight decks on carriers is not armored but the deck below is to allow non critical and repairable damage to the upper deck but preserve vitals below. I also could see a set of floating bases with airfields and docks to service subs and fleet ships (modeled in part after the floating airport in Hong Kong except able to move at a slow speed) perhaps even work in so oil rig and processing hardware. Would act like a forward base avoiding the need to island hop like we did in WWII.
