Seems like same episode, but this one is all of them together... This is a 3hr show... Pretty awesome!

[@colindeer4908]

Really enjoyed this. Many thanks.

[@cameronsienkiewicz6364]

lol everyone saying that these ships are garbage because of the amount of issues have no idea what they’re talking about .. these ships have been tested time and time again, and have proven themselves to be a formidable force.. that being said, these ships are up to 28 years old (the first ship was built in 89’, the last ship built in 2001).. things are bound to break when a ship is that old

[@wenghiskhan3084]

Fun fact, those are United States Marine Corps F-35s from VMFA-211. The QE has been operating with a composite US-UK carrier air wing since her inception, as the UK is unable to fill its own requirement.

[@Demosthenas]

Fun fact: that's because Lockheed martin can't produce them fast enough.

[@B3ckShots]

@@Demosthenas US People cant get any facts, the f35s we purchased a small ammount since lockeed cant produce them quick enough. If we cant fill out own requirement why does the US Depend on us for anti-missile interceptions in suez canal.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

44:00 the fact that Russian subs could be sailing in the Irish Sea and off the North Atlantic elsewhere in Irish waters, is absolutely terrifying - the Irish navy would be no match for a Russian sub attack, so we Irish absolutely depend on the Royal Navy to defend us 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@archiebald4717]

I heard that the RAF also supports the Irish defenses. I guess such support is also in the UK's interests.

[@ericrivas2960]

how about the hms Duncan & queen Elizabeth can you documentary I love the documentary of life in navy warship, carrier & submarine 🖤👍👍👏

[@stardustindigo]

I have been a sailor for 10 years on a merchant ships, sorry to say I have had never experienced this much failures on board in such small period like this ( so this is a war ship right?). Almost never happened anything.

[@JusticeAlways]

A bit of over dramatization by the film makers...to keep the public interested it seems. Have you ever been thru the Suez Canal? I hear there's lot of "excitement" for merchant sailors there...😅

[@stardustindigo]

@@JusticeAlways Suez canal 😅😅😅

[@matdyke5046]

Warships get run at the limit on regular basis. Merchant ships putter about. Try running at 20+kts sustained for days with electrical loads for sensors and equipment 24/7 that equal that of a small town. Ex navy nuke speaking.

[@pa4tim]

I repair maritime electronics (but not military) and I have plenty work . Navy ships have a tun of electronic systems, much more as merchant ships. And indeed it is dramatized, like the toxic smoke filling the ship. How the hell they know it is toxic if they do not know the source ?

I hoped this was a continuation of the previous episodes..

2:03:24 that Russian sub clearly rammed the sonar as well as the ship, in order to knock it out

[@johnlamothe8705]

Really?? How many times are y'all gonna repost this video? How bout a new video of this show

[@davidharris2519]

im sure the russians are learning alot about the British by watching this show

[@briant5685]

bwahahaha,you are so shallow

[@user-eh9jo9ep5r]

If will be control for civil boats with large circus humans who travel from one country to another, and create circus in this countries one by one, it could be really helpful.

[@ecleveland1]

I never would have thought the Royal Navy would have been so laid back. It’s this a bit too much laid back though for a war ship?

[@WSPR4USPincus-ji6tp]

[@user-eh9jo9ep5r]

95% of the total worldwide hostage seizures at sea for ransom occur in the Gulf of Guinea. The information provided in the search results supports the claim that a significant portion of maritime hostage seizures for ransom occurs in the Gulf of Guinea. According to Oceans Beyond Piracy, a substantial number of incidents related to maritime piracy and hostage-taking have been reported in the Gulf of Guinea, indicating the prevalence of such activities in this region. Therefore, based on the available information, it can be concluded that the statement about the Gulf of Guinea accounting for 95% of worldwide maritime hostage seizures for ransom is supported by the search results.

[@cameronsienkiewicz6364]

The Russians are VERY good at EW (electric warfare), they have formidable submarines as they’ve been in competition with the United States for the past 80 years, but we ALL know their air superiority is nonexistent.. sure, they can throw up a helo, much like the British, but at least the UK has two large, somewhat reliable aircraft carriers with f-35b’s

[@X-jn87ybt]

Well unless the West fights a near peer every capabilities of the West is questionable

[@maxgaetz7432]

Are there cell towers at sea?

[@LeeXRV]

Cell towers work a variable distance off the coast and mobile phones still emit radiation even if they are out of range.

[@Juanitojk]

Really seems like the Brit’s should just buy American destroyers

[@LeeXRV]

Why on earth would they do that? The Royal Navy doesn’t have enough ships but it certainly has some of the best in existence and a 23 is an exceptional submarine hunter.

Wow,how sad they failed their drug test

[@JusticeAlways]

Yes....I was shocked about that. Didn't expect it.

[@danilorainone406]

why is the ship not sealed and rubber gasketed Tight from waves??

[@JR-playlists]

Indecision and ambiguity should not be the playbook. If they do this then we do that, written in stone!

[@williambone740]

well, with the amount of poverty, both intellectuale and monetary, thet is present were I am, I guess there are wors ways to avoid it

[@pauliewalnuts240]

The labratory drug testing surely costs millions of dollars per year. A bit extreme considering everyone is effectively locked on ship at sea, where theres no drugs...

[@matdyke5046]

😂😂😂 you have never been on a warship. Prisons are locked down too.

[@DeltaStray]

in one of the seasons a guy got caught positive for cocaine so lol not hard when they get off on ports

[@danoreal1970]

The military is always a team operation. Can not allow illegal drug users to endanger the crew, the mission nor the ship. The military is life & death environment. Do you get it, dummkopf?

[@ChrisSprenger.]

They have crab boats bigger then this thing lol

[@LeeXRV]

Bizarre post, I can’t even fathom the logic here.

[@jamesperdue2296]

British electrics aye

lol, someone forgot to tell the guy from Kingston that you can’t have as many, and as long of a shower as you want in the navy.. there’s a reason why they’re called navy showers .. 20 seconds on, lather, 20 seconds off lol Someone also forgot to mention to the new blonde recruit that her dad didn’t serve IN Iraq and Afghanistan, he served in a ship near Iraq and Afghanistan lol😂

Perhaps the Limeys are there to celebrate bygone naval colonial power days and to cheer Russian navy. O__ on the other hand perhaps they are there to concur Russia under leadership of Sunak ?

[@harryflower1810]

Cheer the Russian Navy I don't think so. The RN will hold its own

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Your last 5 comments have been on English videos supporting russia and hating nato. I think your actually in love with the west.

One of the dumbest things ive ever read…ive sailed in a battle group with the RN and they do not mess around.

[@danoreal1970]

Why wait 20+ hours to launch helo & drop sonar bouys to detect Russian sub once contact had been lost?? Not a good strategy nor tactical plan!!! Wasted opportunity by HMS. Flawed Plan, during those 20+ hours the Russian sub could have destroyed the undersea cables. It is intuitively obvious to even the most casual military observer, the wait was a mistake.
