Interesting fact about Admiral Zumwalt. My grandpa, Tran Van Chon, was a former Rear Admiral of the South Vietnamese Navy, worked along side him in joint ops against the North. When the war ended, my grandpa ended up a POW but released nearly 20 years later and Admiral Zumwalt was the one that helped him get to the US. When Admiral Zumwalt passed away, my grandpa attended his funeral. When the Zumwalt DD was made, my grandpa was invited to view the ship named after his best friend and also saw when it first set sail. My grandpa passed around this time last year.

It wasn’t a B2 that was shot down, it was a F-117 in Yugoslavia.

[@johngreenbeck829]

Also to build off that the F-117 was the first generation of stealth. It's downing wasn't on account of the failure of it's stealth either, but largely due to poor mission planning and mismanagement. The F-117's were flying the same flight patterns, again and again, and a keen Yugoslavian Colonel (Dani, I think his name was?) caught on and used this knowledge to aid in the attack. Anyways, ya the F-117 was the first generation of stealth, B-2 I would consider the 2nd. The f-22 being the third and finally the F-35 being the 4th generation of stealth, in my eyes at least. The separation between these being durability of stealth coating, and time required to service the coatings. If I'm not mistaken the coating on the f-35 isn't even featuring it's final form yet. There is a more "matte" in appearance coating nearing completion, that is even more durable and radar absorbent, if I recall correctly. Similar in sorts to the next generation of F-135 engines down the pipeline as well.... but I'm merely a Canadian with an interest in aviation, so this information is likely not remotely 100% accurate.

[@detric9508]

Zumwalt here! Very glad to hear a foreign perspective on my family. The USS Zumwalt was named after my uncle - Admiral Zumwalt. He was a true visionary and pioneer for the Navy, he took a "backwards" branch of the military with the lowest re-enlistment rates, the worst discrimination, and worst morale and completely flipped it around. He promoted blacks to the rank of Admirals (which before was impossible) and women were able to advance in the ranks up to Admiral as well. He was also Chief of Naval Operations during Vietnam. He ordered the dropping of Agent Orange on the foliage of Vietnam. This was extremely useful because the waterways were so thick with vegetation, that US Patrol boats could be as close as 10 feet away from VC forces and have no idea. It reduced the number of ambushes dramatically. The side effects to the soldiers after the war were horrendous though. No one knew at the time how bad it was. His own son was a Commander of one of these PT Boats, he would eventually die due to the complications from Agent Orange poisoning. After the war he worked to successfully have injuries and diseases caused by Agent Orange to be covered. He started numerous bone marrow transplant companies to help soldiers suffering from Agent Orange poisoning to receive bone marrow transplants. He was also the FIRST to normalize relations with the Vietnamese government. There is far too much to list here honestly so please look him up yourself. The technology of the ship as well is astounding, this is also a "disaster relief" ship - able to pull up to more or less any small country and run its entire power grid from the engines alone. Thank you for the review! Hopefully one day you'll be able to see some of these weapons you get to make videos about. You'd be amazed how much planning goes into a ship like this. Every inch of space has a planned purpose, down to the TVs used in the common rooms. All the best to Estonia!

16:25 The reason you have two ships underway collide when they are traveling parallel to each other is because of the same forces that make an aircraft wing fly... It's a fluid dynamics thing called Bernoulli's principle describing an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure. But the same principle would apply if the fluid were stationary and an abject were to move through that fluid - that could cause a lower pressure area based on the shape of the object. Similar to the way an aircraft wing moves rapidly through the air and that causes a decrease in the static pressure above the wing causing a force differential between the top and bottom of the wing. With two ships the space between them can become a lower pressure area and the ships could be drawn together and collide. This is why underway replenishment is an evolution that always gets the heart rate up!

14:25 - B-2 has never been shot down.

[@TheToweringOtakunt]

There's a story that's been going around for years that the Serbians shot one down in '99. It's probably the story he saw and it's riddled with incorrect information but it persists for reasons unknown. The most common version of the story is that the B-2 in question was the Spirit of Missouri (AV-8). This is impossible, however, as Spirit of Missouri has been filmed in operation as recently as 2018 when it participated in an air show at Dyess Air Force Base here in Texas. You can find a photo of it at this event on the Wikipedia page for the B-2. I'm sure there are even more recent images floating around out there. This one's just easy to find. In fact, all known B-2s have been seen and photographed repeatedly since the supposed 1999 downing of one of their number. The claim, as far as I can tell, originated with a Serbian general by the name of Bozidar Delic who claims that on March 27th, 1999, unspecified forces shot down a B-2. It's worth noting that General Delic also made many other factually inaccurate claims during the same interview, including that anti-NATO forces only lost two tanks and a few dozen men when confirmed official numbers put those losses at hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers respectively. The real story appears to be that of the downing of "Something Wicked" (82-0806), an F-117 Nighthawk flying under the callsign "Vega 31" during the 1999 NATO bombing raids on Yugoslavia. The plane was being flown by then-Lt. Col. Darrell P. "Dale" Zelko and was shot down by a Yugoslav version of the Soviet Isayev S-125 missile system under the command of then-Lt. Colonel Zoltán Dani of the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade of the Army of Yugoslavia. The destroyed plane (or rather, pieces of it, most notably its distinctive canopy) is on display along with all other NATO and U.S. planes, whether manned or unmanned, shot down during the conflict in the Belgrade Aviation Museum. No identifiable pieces of a B-2 can be found at that museum, however. It appears the general or those who informed him mistook the F-117 for a B-2 due to their similar overall appearance at a distance. It's also worth noting that the interview was mostly a Russian propaganda piece which concluded with the general saying, "Ever since I walked Russia has been a mother. I love Serbia, I would give everything for Serbia, but if it is needed... I am ready to give everything for Russia as well."

The reason two ship that are passing come together is due to Bernoulli's principle. Basically when the water moving between two ships is constricted, it speeds up the flow reducing the pressure it exerts between the ships. This reduction causing a difference in pressure that then causes the ships to be pushed toward each other. Granted this effect is minimal.

Because it's objects moving through things due to density differences.

[@whyjnot420]

The biggest factor in the collisions he was talking about is likely that people like to use the shortest distance when travelling, leading to the establishment of official and unofficial routes. Given the lack of things like mountains on the surface of the ocean this does not leave much leeway without outright avoiding the most efficient routes. Add in factors like the length of time between commanding a ship to do something and the ship finally doing that, as well as things like human arrogance/stupidity and it really isnt hard to understand why ships hit each other. (Also, most collisions I hear about seem to be near coasts and in places like the English Channel, high trraffic areas and bottleneck areas) Anyways, yeah gravity does technically come into play, but not in any way that could possibly do a billionth of what he said.

[@royaltycore3756]

I don't think you really have to say guided missile destroy...like every ship now shoots guided missiles sooo...

[@JOSE-se6nw]

But that’s one of its main purposes unlike the other ones

[@dylancurley13]

So i work at the company that designed and built these things. Insane price tags, the ammo for the main gun is 100k a shot. However it can travel like 60 miles at the speed of a 7.62 NATO with the accuracy to knock a flower pot out of a window. Granted the shock wave would obliterate the building. They need less crew than a ship half its size because of all of the automation that was put in. The radar is next level too, they appear the size of a small fishing boat. They were meant to replace the current flagship, the DDG51 Arleigh Burkes. But the price of them made that near impossible. And the reason why there were so many people at the launch of the ship is because there is jack to do in Maine

[@dreww4925]

I live in bath and the boats we build are pretty nasty and there is stuff to do up here but not that much

16:40 Speaking of the chances being so low yet a crash happens, I remember reading about a story of two cars. In Ohio during the 19th century, there was a time where literally only 2 cars existed in the state. Despite that, both managed to crash into each other causing the state's first car wreck.

[@robinmills8675]

I live across the street from a Naval Air Station. The training they do flying around and right over my house can be loud and continuous at times and we have to pause the TV and stop our conversations because we can't hear.

He deserves a canoe at most IMO. EDIT: Then again, LBJ was determined to deny and hide the truth, maybe a stealth ship is just the thing for honoring him.

[@callmemelody653]

Matt B LBJ wasn’t as good of a guy as you’re making him out to be. He was elected to the Senate fraudulently, he would bully and threaten other politicians in order to get his bills and policies through, he escalated the Vietnam War, and his War on Poverty actually halted the decline that poverty rates were going down by, freezing at around 17% poverty rate which remains today. Despite the fact that he did get things like Civil Rights Legislation through, he most certainly had his faults. Just like any figure throughout history or even just any person, he’s nuanced, and the situation is not so black and white.

[@GarandNewbie]

Admiral Arliegh Burke was woman mathematician who greatly influenced the first creation of basic computer code. It was she who first coined the phrase "de-bug" as she often had remove moth carcasses from the vacuum tube computer she programed.

I never got to see the Zumwalt being built but whenever I drive home to Maine I get to see her sister ship the Lyndon B. Johnson being built at Bath Iron Works. It's kinda surreal to think Bath, the city that we drive through to get anywhere on the coast, makes the most advanced ships in our Navy.

[@dreww4925]

this looks like one of the first steel boats ever put into battle (back in the US Civil War)

[@KurNorock]

It wasn't a B2 that was shot down. It was an f117 stealth fighter. Another military plane you should look into.

[@brewii4991]

You talking about the US having the money to have expensive failures got me thinking about the Manhattan Project. There were two ways to make an atomic bomb at the time (both still theoretical of course). Most countries would've focussed on the more reliable "gun-type" and moved on. The US studied and developed both...because we could.

[@oreo_re]

american sniper A) Well done liking your own comment, B) I am a Briton and I believe and know that the Typhoon is not junk as it is more manoeuvrable than any plane in the USA's arsenal. I also know that although the USA may have better planes all-round that doesn't mean ours don't fit that criteria. Also we recently bought roughly 200 F35Bs meaning that you saying the F35 is "better" than British aircraft is incorrect. Finally, we are nations with a very strong alliance so it does not matter if - as previously mentioned - you believe that the Typhoon is bad or outdated.

trashpanda101 01 its the reason the country was founded and its really the only war we celebrate and it’s the principle. Thousands of British ships and 1 million soldiers crossed the ocean for war, versus a couple thousand citizens who knew death was inevitable but stormed into battle anyway. Those Men became Gods, and it’s the only way citizens can reach that level of bravery and status is for England to return to our shores and give us chance to prove ourselves and I am sure no American wouldn’t back down from the challenge. Why do you think we spend thousands on AR-15s and optics and ammunition not for Russia nope, China nope, Middle East nope, but it’s the thought of hearing, THE RED COATS ARE COMING.

The US has a nuclear laser they're thinking abput using on there subs because the new subs are nuclear power plants & the laser is strong enough to work under water!

@Stuxnet Lassa it's a GRASER, much more deadly than a laser.

[@Xfighter000]

@Stuxnet Lassa Haven´t heard of it but it probably works by using portion of the nuclear generator aboard submarines to power the laser; in which, the laser itself also gives off deadly heat from radiation and be powerful enough to penetrate out of water as nuclear energy is immensly powerful.

[@engelby4075]

@Stuxnet Lassa It would be used for aircraft, small boats, & targets close to land! The laser can get through the surf of the water so the sub doesn't have to breach the surfs of the water but has to be near the surfs.
