The UK Prepares to Become Ruler of the Seas With Advanced, Armed New Submarines

The Royal Navy is spending 31 billion pounds on four Dreadnoughts (each weighing 19,000 tons and capable of carrying up to 12 Trident ballistic missiles).
The Dreadnought-class enters service in the early 2030s, ensuring that Britain's nuclear deterrent is credible and effective for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for watching

[@willsherman1049]

Its not the number of ships that decides a top navy. Its the quality of the ship and its crew. Both are top notch in the UK.

[@HenriHattar]

No good having tubs thats for sure. Indonesian navy has lots of ships BUT are so old and rusty that one really modern ship would be worth 50 or them.

[@501deadcow]

What happened lately in royal navy😅

[@dirkscott5410]

Really. Aircraft carriers which can only fly US planes and are mostly in the shipyard for repairs.

[@Biketunerfy]

@@dirkscott5410 Every ship has its teething troubles. In terms of mileage and service life the Queen Elizabeth class are still brand new and will eventually be more reliable. I still think it was a mistake for them to not use nuclear power. If the oil tanker gets hit and they are low on fuel in the middle of the ocean they are in big trouble. I also think it was a mistake not to use the new magnetic catobar system.

😂😂im UK citizen and I say we are far from ruling the sea as we can't even stop migrants on inflatable boats

[@alenkerr8533]

As a country or military is small but packs a punch and don't forget we have the best special forces in the world

[@josephtempongko8914]

Yes, you are correct, a ruler to measure the sea bed. Another 200 coming years ruler measuring the sea bed. Carry on lads!!!!

[@Griff942]

Britain ruled the waves for over 200 years, no other country has come close to that.

Lost it completely . Historic book.

[@JDDC-tq7qm]

But it's land warfare that's important did Germany surrendered when they lost the Atlantic campaign did Japan surrendered when they lost the naval battles on the Pacific no both lost when their countries have been overwhelmed with enemy troops or atomic bombs

[@sinisadabic5371]

Never happening again, ships and subs will be shit very soon

[@3204clivesinclair]

£31 billion at the moment. The UK Government has already allocated another £10 billion as a contingency. Expect the price to double by the time they have been commissioned (prices for military contracts always do).

[@petevan8942]

More ships ..great....but the armed forces in the UK are too diminished...our government needs to step up and fund more recruitment

[@keithyoung7764]

If it’s any thing like our latest aircraft carrier it will spend more time broken down than at sea.

[@Lbm414.Oleg.Kuznetsov.]

Definitely will spend most of its time broken down if it has anything french made in it.

[@ECECECECEC]

We have no army, no airforce our navy has aircraft carriers that we can’t defend, we haven’t the planes to fill them but luckily they can’t get more than a few feet without breaking down so how are we going to afford this?

[@tomsmith2587]

The UK is going to need a lot more ships if it wants to even be listed in the top ten navies.

[@deadbeats7604]

The UK is currently 9th so not really

[@jammiedodger7040]

The key is not a big navy it’s a reasonable size advance Navy. And Britain has one of the only truly Bluewater navies.

Aaah subtitles, ''the Dreadnut class'' , please rename them to this

[@namelesswarrior4760]

If that's the case. Then, make sure that you use plastic RULERS. Cos, they're lightweight & waterproof.

[@f1reguy587]

Im sure its cool to have submarines of this calibre, but reality is you need to be seen present to make people behave, a submarine does not have the same threat as a destroyer or carrier. Even though its payload is much more lethal.

[@ksturmer5388]

It's ok, the taking away of benefits of which that we have been assessed for by the DWP doctors, will pay for these. Remember, we, the disabled including ex-veterans are ruining the UK economy, yet we can afford 31 BILLION on subs alone.

[@ENGBriseB]

and how many of our pack of subs are in working order ?.

Did they spell "Dreadnaught" wrong?

[@ioanbota9397]

Its interestyng I like

[@donaldmatthews7226]

Why are the subs getting bigger but carrying less

[@mac2626]

Not carrying less as the Vanguard Class SSBN were only filling 8 of its 16 missile compartments, and the Dreadnought Class will operate with all 12 missile compartments full as Britain now has 280 ballistic missiles. That’s 60 more than in recent decades, and they can carry 8 to 12 475 kt nuclear warheads.

[@frank-ko6de]

They want to keep their empty planed aircraft carriers. Yeah, Broke Britain.

[@paulrailton1511]

You wouldn't think the UK had food banks and people living on the streets.

[@28pbtkh23]

Yeah, let's drop all this high technology and defence of the realm rubbish and put all of the money into useless buggers who are homeless and who don't earn enough money to support themselves. How could they have had 12 years of compulsory education and yet still end up poor?

[@stevedavies-pp7dp]

We can’t even protect our shores against Abdul in his dinghy , as for fighting Russia I ask who exactly that would be since my fishing club has more boats than our navy and the British army in its entirety would fill Wembley stadium . As for the purchase of new navy kit … may I ask why they bought not one but TWO aircraft carriers without aeroplanes … and now they want a new sub to play with ??? 😂😂😂😂😂

Yhe dreadnoughts are already short listed to become obsolete with Britian getting a new , larger sub soon, along with both the USA and Australia, the AUKUS class, which will be the most advanced most tonnage of any sub ever built, the thing is this is NOT and is taking place NOW with the infrasturcture being built to fo this in the UK, the US and Australia, Austrailia is also giving billions to both the UK and the US to assist with their infrastructure build, weird huh, bout the first time in history some one aided the US to do something.

[@pickeledminister317]

😂😂😂 for sure 😂😂😂😂

[@siuchen7140]

UK is dreaming again..😂😂😂

[@brianfoley3925]

This is another false narrative. Why a new "super-duper" submarine benefit Great Britian...of course it will add the Royal Navy's capabilities, but unless the UK builds a significant fleet of them it won't matter a twit. To be effective, a navy needs a fleet of submarines that allows for a substantial number to be on station and allow for a similar number in port for crew rests and refit...and allowing for approximately 25% to be in dry dock for repairs. The UK would need four boats on patrol, four boats in rest and refit and allow for two to be in dry dock for repairs and upgrades. So, at a minimum the UK would need ten boats in a class...and that ain't happening.

[@robbiejonyoung]

😅

[@couespursuit7350]

Amen

[@s3p4kner]

1 sub is enough to turn every city of significance to ash, why would we need more? Yes I'm aware the UK has decided it will only allow 1-3 warheads per missile in line with the proliferation treaty but the comment still stands. You are correct - 1 at sea - 1 in port for r+r - 2 being fixed by the contractor because the kettle doesn't work. Why more, we're not the USA declaring war on every poor muppet and his goat?

[@petemason57]

I bet it sinks.

[@johnmartin7599]

The missile compartment for UK ballistic submarines was always built in the US as its US missiles that are used.

[@mac2626]

All Royal Navy missile compartments were built at Barrow in Furness up to, and including the Vanguard Class SSBN’s. Can’t argue with the facts my friend.

[@johnmartin7599]

@@mac2626 Funny that when I worked up there on Vanguard the missile compartment arrived from Electric Boat in Georgia

[@s3p4kner]

omg next you'll be telling us we import dodgy titanium from China, and the seat covers are from India! Not everyone understands the difference between 'built' and 'assembled', the missile compartment coming from the US is very interesting, disappointing but not surprising since the low magnetic steel is imported in advance from France since Port Talbot is likely to close and we'd hate to give "ze anglais" decent paid jobs lol.
