BRO 25 YEARS OF LIFE AND I SEE A SHIP THAT CAN FLIP VERTICALLY. OMG WHAT ELSE EXISTS IN THIS FANTASTIC PLANET

[@TheBlackfall234]

@Ruseau dont act like this is common knowledge. If you knew about this, then probably because of random luck. Dont be a Dick.

[@ChaosBW]

Have you heard of dinoflagellates? They're a tiny prehistoric life form which still exists in the oceans today When they are moved they glow bright blue At night they make the waves light up I never heard of them or seen them until I was 28 as well

This ship legit looks like something someone would make in a videogame for the lulz of it, or to try and break the physics engine. But it's cool to see that it has an actual use.

[@thedogeyoreo5708]

Scientifically accurate description

[@PanduPoluan]

Sub Commander: "DIVE DIVE DIVE" FLIP Captain: "FLIP FLIP FLIP"

[@DittmanScience]

The movement of the water deep underneath the surface counterbalances the movement of the water at the ssurface. This keeps the ship extremely stable in large ocean waves. Constant up/down/side-side movement is not conducive to delicate scientific equipment.

[@ablemarine9072]

I remember Flip Well! My Dad was Marine Superintendent For Scripps 25 years! I enjoyed having an opportunity to be on all of the research vessels and was continually fascinated, and Learned Much. Also remember when the Bathascapth Trieste was going through Testing and met Jacque Cousteau and many others with Scripps and Navy Personnel. Had a Wonderful life in Point Loma and Sand Diego.

I was reading an article about the internal strifes of an Italian political party and got a suggestion at the end about a "ship that can submerge into the water". I said "you're shitting me", in fact the ship can just flip. Pretty neat tho

[@terrygriffith4148]

Back in the late 60's my Dad was friends with one of the crew members (served together in the Navy). I got to spend the day aboard the Flip while in port. Heck of a "ship".!

[@Mortthemoose]

Wow!

[@Wolfpack611]

Does everyone just like sit around in a room or something, because I do wonder what its like and how the crew goes through the ship flipping, and how do people navigate the ship when its not up right?

[@ablemarine9072]

Wow! I remember being on the Flip several times in the sixties and early Seventies! What an experience, My Dad was Marine Superintendent of Scripps shop facilities in Point Loma San Diego during the fledgling testing of that research vessel.

just learned about this while taking an oceanography class for my last semester of college. the pictures in my textbook dont do the "flipping" justice

[@briancorr3668]

“Things are great right now”! That what it sounds like when a man at work is confident in his equipment. Things can only ever be called out as “fine for now”.

[@maagiic1311]

I expected the top part to rotate when the rear submerged but nope, I guess the crew just has a safe spot where they just lie down and wait

[@txgunguy2766]

Once it is nose up the interior fittings are manually rotated 90 degrees and pinned into place. All the chairs, tables, beds and even the toilets and sinks.

[@aint4nun]

@@txgunguy2766 lol where do they sit in the meantime??

[@txgunguy2766]

@@aint4nun When the ship horizontal everything is pinned into place in the normal, usable position. When the ship is vertical everything is unpinned and rotated 90° and pinned back into the now correct and usable orientation.

[@under10bucks]

this is awesome. But my left ear feels lonely.

[@bojcio]

So the dudes standing on the FLIP...how do they transition from horizontal to vertical. They just kinda slowly move with the ship? Do the Michael Jackson thing or what? I'm genuinely interested here.

[@gokcesaridogan6256]

Exact same question. There must be rotating seats and everybody has to sit down at the time.

[@quochuync]

They must have been inspired by The Titanic movie when the ship was sinking and said "what if we stop the sinking right there" 😅 Seriously, it's fascinating. Would love to see what the crew does during the flip.

[@lancenetworkv5938]

how does it keep from rotating while in the act of submersion and likewise in the reverse?

[@BReal-10EC]

So it gets towed to the location and then flipped on end? Not really a ship if it can't sail on its own imo.. just a fancy Buoy. Still cool tho.

[@bfhgarage759]

Does this thing propel itself or does it have to be towed everywhere?

[@PallasGamer]

Its like boba fett's ship but funky

[@EfrainQuezada]

So does it have a way to maneuver while in its erect state? Or is it just floating along the current if there is one?

[@scrippsoceanography]

FLIP has no maneuvering capability, so it will drift with the current. It can be moored or anchored to the ocean floor for research that requires precise positioning.

[@andypbj267]

I would be amazed by this but the was built around the time we built the world fastest plane, which is still the world's fastest plane, and put men on the moon without much more than a calculator.

I must be the only one who came here from r/submechanophobia That thing is very threatening when tilted vertically

[@Spankydoodle]

What’s happens to the people inside?

[@beninqdyet]

1:59 for the good stuff

[@pekkaah]

So.... the shape of the boat at the bottom helps cancel off the waves + its standing so more wave cancelation?

[@scrippsoceanography]

Flipping puts 300 feet of the platform below the surface, in water that is not moving with surface undulations, and the shape and taper of the hull are designed to minimize the effects of surface waves.

[@limaechonumismatics]

Where does the crew stand when the flip happens? How much. Force does the top of the ship experience while it is floating. How does it not snap?

[@scrippsoceanography]

The flips take about half an hour, which gives the crew and science team plenty of time to adjust as the walls turn into the floors, though generally they're supposed to be outside, away from the shifting furniture. The structure is made of 700 tons of tri-ten steel, so it's very strong. Much of the original design work went into ensuring the structure doesn't twist along its length, so that instruments on the bottom are pointed in the same direction as instruments at the top. There's more information available on our website at scripps.ucsd.edu/ships/flip

[@XynojnX]

awesome

[@drewcallant8101]

So does it operate on its own motor or does it need to be towed at all times?

[@scrippsoceanography]

FLIP has no propulsion of its own, which helps define it as a platform rather than a vessel. It is always towed to a location for deployment.

[@fallinwater321]

It’s amazing but it does give me the creeps.

What is the purpose of these Flip Ships?

[@scrippsoceanography]
