Both of my grandfathers served in the Navy, and this was a departure from the tradition in both sides of my family offering sons of every generation to Army service since before the American Revolution. The army tradition picked back up with my dad and then me. I know NOTHING about the Navy but it's so very cool to see how both differently and similarly they do things. The level of professionalism required to avoid terrible accidents with all that massive, powerful equipment is impressive. You sailors have a soldier's respect.

Good job TY ... America loves *YOU* ...

[@christophermacleod3726]

The submarine was conceived by British mathematician William Bourne in 1578, but the first one actually built was that of Dutch inventor Cornelis Drebbel, which dived under the River Thames in 1620. You need to fact check your videos!

[@gibmelson7628]

....and CSS Hunley was the first submarine, which destroyed a war ship ... USS Housatonic, year 1864, in charleston water, today USA...right mr. christopher ?

"Giant Navy Boat" a.k.a. "ship". What a landlubber!

[@sameerthakur720]

It's confusing. Big boats are ships.... Unless they are big submarines. Then they are boats. Maybe because this ship went down, they mistook it for a submarine. 😂

[@georgea5991]

After I got assigned to one of these ships as a TM, my "A" school instructor said this would certainly happen if we got into it with a sub. We had a better success rate in our exercises, but I'm glad I never got to find out.

My son recently completed his 6 year deployment aboard USS Alabama SSBN-731. The boat and crew were very impressive.

You mean “assignment”! Deployment would be an example of a military unit’s movement…

[@WellsLarry]

@@thor15601 No, that's wrong too. Sailors don't spend six years on the same assignment. You will never find a sailor that has been at the same duty station that long. The Navy moves people around.

[@WellsLarry]

@@hvacqualityassurance7116 Not likely. And, back to the original statement made. The word was "deployment" which generally means a ships movement overseas. No ship goes on a six year deployment. Sailors have families. A year would be extreme.

At 6:30min it is not a harpoon missile. Before harpoon hit the target the missle goes up and search the warmest point at the ship and regularly is this the chimney.

During an exercise, the German submarine U 24 broke through the defense ring around the US nuclear aircraft carrier Enterprise, fired a simulated torpedo fan at it, photographed it through the attack periscope and then surfaced next to the ship.

Thought that was a Swedish sub?

[@bpkrieg]

@@dancasey9660​​⁠Nein! It was U24 😊

[@dancasey9660]

@bpkrieg Maybe the incident you referred to happened earlier. I saw a TV show where they talked about a quite Swedish diesel electric boat getting inside of a US super carrier's defense perimeter during an exercise and taking a photo. The ship was commanded by a female Swedish officer.

[@Ed-ty1kr]

Yeah but that was just simulated. In reality our enemies are crossing German, Swiss, and U.S. boarders aided by globalist NGO's, and circumventing all this nice expensive stuff.

Hi very impressive I have a question Do cruise torpedos exist ? fwiu torpedos approaching a ship don change their trajectory So they are very predictable Cruise missile are practically unstoppable because they can change their line of attack I wonder if the same effect can be achieved with torpedos Maybe approaching the ship travelling very close to the sea bottom and then hit a boat hull vertically and not horizontally

[@Thundrbolt-tj4qk]

The American Mark 48 torpedo is capable of being manually controlled with a guidance wire that connects it to the sub, and can make manuevers to intercept a ship or submarine that might be trying to dodge it

[@gino3286]

@@Thundrbolt-tj4qk hi thank you very much for your kind and valuable reply I see like an umbilical I asked because the fact that a torpedo has a predictable trajectory is a big limit i guess I think that the only real option are missiles Am i wrong ?

[@Thundrbolt-tj4qk]

@@gino3286 You are not wrong, however a torpedo would be a lot harder to detect and counter than a missile. Missiles are much more of a common threat so many technologies have been created to shoot them down or make them useless. There is a lot more technology in modern torpedoes than most people realise; they can stalk a ship by following the waves it leaves behind (wake homing), and even have built in sonar/detection systems to be able to track a target on its own, much like a missile would.
