War Ship: Navy Vessel Heavy Maintenance | Mega Pit Stops | Episode 4 | Free Documentary

[@markparee99]

The Danes have been maintaining their warships for countless generations over many centuries. It's in their blood. Such a pleasure to watch their craft and to know that the skill displayed here is just the current iteration. Much respect.

[@cameron3991]

Because a lot of countries stopped cleaning the hull in the water due to the chemicals effecting the bio life / water.

[@Andy1899]

Wow that was an unreal documentary. To think they really only covered the most difficult issues and bases on the time and man power everyone only had to work 9 hour days. Amazing!

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

I am a US Navy veteran (STG1) and retired US Army. The sonar dome is about the most important aspect of a destroyer/frigate warship, if they are an ASW platform. They are huge and the transducers are as well.

[@gorporpio]

It's amazing all the planning that goes into this to create create a completed ship. Un"fathomable".

[@CJOlin]

You realize that they weren't building the ship, right?

[@allandavis8201]

Having been involved with tracking and balance of helicopter rotor heads and blades I was totally understanding of their dilemma when they had to measure the track of the propeller shafts, whilst I didn’t have a tolerance of only 3mm I still had tight limits to work to, and when you are trying to get an assembly designed to turn at high speed and move in multiple planes it adds a whole new element of difficulty, but these Rolls Royce guys made their job look like child’s play, but I know different it’s neither child’s play or easy, total respect for their abilities and workmanship. Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative film, awesome pit stop. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@justlucky8254]

I was amazed they had that large of a tolerance. I machined prop shafts for US carriers and submarines and the tolerances were generally much less. Looked like they were really only checking runout though.

[@shawng7902]

the 2 things im totally blown away by, #1 the fact that the ship can support itself out of the water on such a small crib under the keel. And #2 were the pneumatic come-along chain winches. How cool are those things?

[@kennethhacker3014]

Agreed..I was thinking the same

[@benmac940]

You forgot the wooden beams along both sides. Whilst they are partially to ensure the ship stays upright they are more to support the weight of the upper parts of the ship so it doesn't sag laterally around the keel line

[@spankyjeffro5320]

I kept thinking how thin the ship's hull looked. Maybe 50mm thick. Seems too thin to be able to withstand any sort of bombardment.

[@kingofaesthetics9407]

​@@spankyjeffro5320Modern warships focus on trying to avoid being hit rather than to withstand direct hits. The age of the battleship is over, missiles are now the primary armament for warships and no amount of hull thickness is going to allow your ship to shrug off a hit from one of those.

[@aplanespain9075]

This is a cup of coffee and it makes the ship SUPER maneuverable!

[@rockstarJDP]

"The process is extremely complex, and complicated" That's some great narration there buddy...

[@rockstarJDP]

@TheBaconHunter haha agreed, but I was mocking the redundancy of that sentence. It's like saying "it's very cold and not warm outside" or "I'm very sleepy and tired"

[@fryfrysk]

Nato class of the Absalon, is L, which stands for a landingcraft ship. However looking at her, she appears having elements of a fregat, so I wondered if she is a multipurpose ship. Love the name Absalon and according to wikipedia, this is the name of a danish archbishop and statesman living around 1128 and is the founder of the capital city of Kopenhagen. Impressive !

[@Argondo]

yes it is a fregat / landing craft most danish ships is multipurpose ships because Denmark is a small country with a huge coastline and a lot of islands including Greenland and Faeroe Islands.

[@bowlampar]

Maintenance done by highly professional technicians can add many more years of life into this used warship, aside from guaranteed every component part worked as intended during battle, potentially can save life of those onboard.

[@jackx4311]

Superb, professional, highly skilled and impressively competent! Many thanks for the upload.

[@lewiswereb8994]

Spent 4 years on a heavy cruiser and have been in dry dock with her. When the ship settles finally on the wooden blocks of the dry dock the entire ship feels absolutely different, not like a ship at all, but more like a sidewalk. One would think that the difference could not be felt because of the enourmous weight versus my 170 pounds, but the difference is felt immediately. I must have had great "sea legs" then.

[@davidcorrow4070]

I've been on several drydocks but my favorite is the floating drydock, It's awesome and can lift an aircraft carrier out of the water.

[@COPPER71]

Bethlehem steel in Baltimore Maryland used to have a few different dry docks and built and repaired ships. They used winches around the front and side to position the ships. All gone now it's an Amazon.

[@stevenrobertson9583]

True I was a Combination First Class Electronic Electrician. We did all the lay outs, in some cases help the Cable Pullers to pull some of the cables to speed the process up in the beginning so we can install the equipment foundations and the Cable wire ways. Then we would do what we were hired to do, install the equipment to their designated compartments. Then install the cannon plugs/connectors to the cables. And once the Meggers, Megg out all the cables from having one wire as in the coax cables for TVs and electronic displays to up to 400 conductors/wires. Then after that is completely we would apply power test for proper working condition. Then Sea Trials. But since I was one of a few Technicians that was certified to weld the foundations so I always pulled from the Sea Trial team because the next ship would as usual be late starting it because of agreements on the last minute changes and pay and working details because they were all Union Companies so the different shops. Because of changes made late would have to work those details out. So the starting dates would be late so the foundations had to be laid out and installed with “speed” to make up lost time for contracts that would have to work out. So I would always be pulled to have to install the equipment foundations first once the hulls were coming together. But I enjoyed my job! But my other job skill I had was working on Military aircraft mainly Helicopters but I was also a First Class avionics, electronic and weapons technician on them and on C-130’s, A-10’s and transit aircraft that would land and be passing through or had a failure of some sort. So I was one of a few certified to work on all fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft from all of the other branches of the Military Service. Loved every minute of being a Civilian Contractor!😎

[@kennethhacker3014]

Anecdote: Alexander the Great was 19 when he took the throne. Sure, alittle different to be first in line for the crown but obviously he was rather capable during his 14 year reign as conqueror and King.

Worst part is the Absalon isn't even remarkably fast for a ship its size. Frigate sized vessels usually can pull 27-30 knots but Absalon can only pull 24 knots ¯\_( ツ )_/¯

No no, He said the 127mm Mark 5 gun, he called it "A MACHINE GUN" It's a 127mm, A tank has a 120mm.

[@OliverFlinn]

@@Justineexy it is automatic, with about 20 rounds a minute.. kinda is a machine gun

[@Justineexy]

@@OliverFlinn bro, a machine gun is a 7.62 or a 5.56 Gun that can fire about 700-1000 rounds per minute. That Mark 5 127mm gun is about 60 times larger than a 7.62MG. Even if you take a .338 it would still be 40 times smaller than the 127mm. 127mm is the gun used on the arleigh Burke, Capable of hitting a target at over 20miles and can sink a ship with 10 to 40 rounds. The 7.62 Cam even pen a ship..
