Submarine Warfare

[@jimwright1148]

I visited the submarine museum in Groton CT,while on holiday,well worth the visit,my pals girlfriend’s dad was a radio operator on the nautilus and showed me his old station during tour of the submarine,had a great experience.👍

Finally a sub doc I haven't seen, thanks for sharing.

[@burninglass]

If it's a sub doc u want to see then report to sick bay sailor !

[@jaygreider4753]

I served on the USS FORRESTAL (CVA-59, 72-74). The USS SKIPJACK traveled with us.

[@davidpray145]

The US Navy admiral shown starting at the 27 minute mark was not Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz. It was Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, who was the Commander Submarines Pacific (ComSubPac) during WW2 on Nimitz's staff.

[@Tinskipper]

I lived in Lockwood Terrace on Guam!

[@susanagli2197]

My birth father Doug de La Fontaine served on the USS Cavalla during this attack. I wonder if any others are still alive? My father already passed away.

[@grahamkearnon6682]

An oldie but, goodie video. I remember the towed array either being tested or placed behind a sub or ship at Portsmouth harbour, England in the late 1980's. A catamaran vessel would head out of the narrow harbour entrance with a huge reel at its rear.

[@webbtrekker534]

Served on one nuclear sub and one Diesel sub. 1964 to 1970.

[@servicarrider]

Two different worlds? Thank you for every minute of your service.

[@Chris_at_Home]

My older brother did that, he was on the HardHead and Pargo. He taught Sonar school in Key West also. He was in from 62-75. He had enough. I have a brothers-in-law that retired from boomers in the early 80s. I was in P3s. I grew up near Groton and worked a EB for a short time to know enough that sub duty wouldn’t be for me. Heck I love big open woods and views as I sit here on the deck with the sun still high at 9:30. We have mountains to the east and west.

Why wasn't U.S. Navy Admiral Hyman G. Rickover "Father of the Nuclear Navy" mentioned in this video?? When talking about the first nuclear powered submarine the USS Nautilus. If it wasn't for Admiral Rickover there wouldn't have been a USS Nautilus nor would there be any nuclear powered aircraft carriers.

[@servicarrider]

Sounds like something that dumbass pervert O'Reilly would say.

[@HPaulHonsinger]

There is a good shot of Rickover at 32:21. At least you see his face, even if the narration does not mention him.

[@kentwilliams4152]

I served in the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine navy from 1961 -1968. Admiral Rickover was universally feared by submarine nuclear power engineering officers. Those of us who were enlisted didn’t fear him because we were, as the say, too far down the totem pole.

[@shenpa.8859]

he was a joke. 😂

[@jacobhill3302]

Yea, thats not Nimitz. And the large german sub was the type IX not type XI haha

[@waynenimmo564]

Yeah, that looks like Lockwood, the man who put Flag level proof that the MK14 was trash.

[@parrot849]

When the video narrator is describing the U.S.S. Skipjack, most of that part video showed what appears to be a U.S. Guppy class Patrol submarine. Earlier when the man in white lab coat was on camera with a misidentified Admiral “Nimitz” (actually Admiral Lockwood), the lab coat man referred to the “supersonic sound waves” produced by the sonar of the submarine. Ahhh...What is a supersonic sound wave? Or did I hear that incorrectly? Also, this may be nitpicking but when video states U.S. submarines were responsible for the destruction of the Imperial Japanese fleet in World War Two, I think it would have been more correct to say they were largely responsible for the destruction of Japanese MERCHANT fleet.

[@jamesdougherty7702]

I agree, Nimitz my butt!!!

[@fransiscozip1459]

It s a hoax ! Dis info ...vfake news.!.

[@jmleaf8102]

Hi, U S submarines were responsible for sinking seventy-five percent of all Japanese ships , including Japanese warships. Peace

[@lynndragoman2454]

In this case supersonic waves just means above 20,000 hertz

[@StrongHarm]

It should be noted that sound travels at 1130 feet per second (770 mph). The "speed of sound" (or Mach 1) is a measurement relative to sounds travel rate through air. Underwater, sound travels at 4900 feet per second (3300 mph) or mach 4.3. Therefore, sound under water is 4.3 times faster than the "speed of sound"... or "supersonic".

[@brucegibbins3792]

All of these clarifications and additional information are exceedingly helpful for me - a casual visitor interested in stories of the USN. My home port of Te Whanganui-a-Tara did for many generations host ship visits by the USN. Never a Submarine though. Only a punny wee thing belonging to the British Royal Navy, but that was back in the late 1950s. More latterly there has been Frigit visits from the Royal Canadian Navy, the Taiwanese Navy and the Mainland Chinese Navy. Not at the same time of course, separated by many months; years even. I've seen RAN Submarines visiting the ports of small island nations in the Pacific with their huge black painted hulls doing little but intimidate the islands inhabitants who do their very best to ignore them pleased only when they head back out to the open sea again.

[@peterford9369]

I'm sure there are many subs the public will never know about. After all, secrecy is the benefit of submarines.

[@tomstearrett472]

The officer explaining how submarines are made is VADM Lockwood not FADM Nimitz!

[@HPaulHonsinger]

That's a huge error for a "professional" documentary to make, especially when the two men look nothing alike and Nimitz's appearance should be familiar to anyone with any historical expertise at all. I can understand not recognizing Lockwood . . . I recognize him, but my wife would not. She would, however, almost certainly know "that's NOt Nimitz."

[@Idahoguy10157]

The officer mid-video is not Admiral Rickover

[@jamesweldon9726]

This show really bounced around from topic to topic, and completely ignored some, while focusing too much on others.

[@waynearrington6727]

I'm laughing at the reference to the Nautilus as a "giant submarine...." . I took the tour of the Nautilus....giant it is not....claustrophobes need not apply.

[@HPaulHonsinger]

It was giant . . . for a submarine. A World War II Gato Class submarine had a submerged displacement of 2463 tons, a little over 310 feet long, and had a beam of 27 feet 3 inches. The Nautilus had a submerged displacement of 4092 tons submerged, 320 feet long, and a beam of 28 feet. What doesn't show up in these statistics is how much "taller" the Nautilus was--it had two habitable decks while the WWII type submarines had only one. Here's a cutaway of a Gato/Balau Class: archive.hnsa.org/doc/fleetsub/appendix/pages/figa-01.htm. And here's one of the Nautilus: imgur.com/98hnVkR. So, if you're used to a surface ship, Nautilus is cramped. If you're used to the submarines that came before Nautilus, she would hae seemed capacious.

[@DavidTaylor-qz8nc]

Serviced on the dallas, nuatilus wasn't that bad it believe it had berthing the engine room aft. The nr 1 was small got go down it and did repairs . It was only 120 ft long. You could see both end of the on sub inside once inside.

[@larryflorida5705]

Thanks for the very informative post, H. Paul!

[@DavidTaylor-qz8nc]

If you ever make it to Mobil they have ww2 submarine there. It is drydock on the ground on concert block no longer in the water. You can get a good picture of it on size and you get to go thru the whole boat. The nuatilus was fashioned after the ww2 boats because it was true and tested design and that help keep the cost lower. The ssbn sub was regionally a fast attack sub cut and stretch with missile tube installed.

[@webbtrekker534]

The pre WW II Submarine Nautilus was a giant at 371 feet long. Sistership Narwhal was also. The real giant was Argonaut at 381 feet long. The US didn't build anything bigger until the USS George Washington class and follow on subs.

[@grahamkearnon6682]

I served on the flagship HERMES a carrier during the Falklands War and, this is the first Ive heard of DREADNOUGHT involved i the War, i ended my career in subs but, still heard nothing.

According to Naval historian Gary E. Weir, “In all, U.S. submarines destroyed 1,314 enemy warships in the Pacific, representing 55% of all Axis power warships lost and a total of 5.3 million tons of shipping.” The American success came at a cost, though. In World War II, 52 US submarines were lost, with a total of 3,506 officers and enlisted men killed. The US Navy Submarine Service had the highest casualty percentage of any American forces in the War: about 20%. can you do look at history any of Nimans was in the board that it would’ve been admin Rick over thank God the Romans built in Cheney really slim that guy and of course he was of a Russian due to police Russian do and you know fortunately for all of us lot of us got together and created a better state then the axis or madman didn’t and then we’re here you shall seek the truth and the truth shall set you free

[@anushkasekkingstad1300]

Only a particularly ill informed US company could imagine it was a good idea to promote their nonsensical product as a weapon and incite their customers to commit a serious crime. Nowhere in the civilised world is self defence a valid defence against a charge of carrying an offensive weapon. Any police finding such a weapon carried in the door well of a car, in the manner recommended in the ad, would see the driver arrested and the weapon seized. The sentence for such a crime may include a term of imprisonment. I have forwarded the ad to the CPS, showing the item being sold specifically as a weapon, designed to inflict serious injury.

Wow what a BS. It's a well known fact that active sonar kill loads of whales, dolphins and other marine life. Precisely why it shouldn't be used unless there is no other way, and not just "because they can".

[@jacobsparry8525]

@@pieterveenders9793 Sorry Only you are partly as right. Only ultra low frequency SONAR does haved the potential for hurting sea mammals and only at close range too. Just be cause you do play submarine games on a computer does not meand you are some of expert and you gived the response in your ownd blabbering : “ It’s a well known fact that active SONAR kill lots of whales, dolphins and other marine life. “ A well known FACT that “lots” whales and dolphin have been killed? I don’t thinked so Ined reality there is noned of any proof that “lots” of whales haved been killed. There haved been 7 whales that have been positively killed by SONAR that I am aware of. And 6 were killed because the SONAR either scared them ined to beaching or damaged their own navigation. There is being certainly the potentials for injury or death, but as far as do I know there haved been no mass killings. And my comment was made overs a year ago dude. Is that how do you try to get attention? Find old comments and try for attacking them? I was at 13 when I mad it that post. Now flaked off pleased.
