I have been through the entrance to Depot Bay in a RIB and a larger fishing boat and it is intimidating. A friend of mine was stationed on one of those CG surf rescue boats in Oregon at" the bar " and a crew member was killed when the boat went over and he was not properly strapped in. Kudos to the coasties for their work and rescuing my wife a few years ago!
Are you sure they were going after a "man overboard" call or going out to "practice" man overboard drills? I ask for two reasons. I've never gotten underway for a man overboard and poked around in the harbor before heading out and you never went out without your blue light flashing and siren wailing. Now I can understand the siren part, but they just don't seem to be in a hurry for a "mayday". At least not in the 20 years I served.
@@bryandunmire1621 During a M.O. exercise in Subic Bay, our OSCAR was "rescued" by a fisherman, who then absconded with our dummy. The SP tracked him down and he was reunited with our ship. The story made the Stars & Stripes, spring of '77.
I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking that they just can't zoom out without being buckled in. I'm sure it takes a few minutes to get everyone in, hatches dogged down etc. I was also wondering about the full reverse move...testing to make sure it's working? I crewed on a 41 out of Station Mayport. We had the huge St John River to pull right into. Throw off the lines, clear the dock and full speed ahead.
There was some bad information on this video. First, the propulsion system only has 870 total horsepower, and it has the traditional shaft and propeller configuration. These boats are not jet drive. The MLB's are going through a service life extension program (SLEP) which will give them two Cummins engines rated at over 500 horsepower each, and keep the traditional shaft and propeller configuration, this MLB in video has not gone through its SLEP yet. Although they are designed to rollover and re-right, they most often sustain some damage when they do. Finally, these boats aren't unsinkable. Any vessel on the water can sink. These vessels are built very well and there are design features that help it stay afloat when other vessels would sink but, if you add enough water inside its hull, it will sink.
@Bryan Dunmire, I have a cousin who serves in the USCG, While visiting him at his station I was lucky to get a tour of his 47 MLB, I noticed it actually had 2 Detroit diesel engines. I was also informed that the first 2 numbers on the boat hulls actually tell the length of the boat, so all the 47 MLB's will have the first two digits of 47 in the number on the Hull and the smaller fast response boats start with the number 29 as they are 29 feet in length.
I am 63 now but when I was a boy my grandfather and I would go out of Depo Bay in the 20-foot Caulkins bar tender and what an amazing boat those bartenders are!
Home of the Spouting Horn! I was driving a 20' box truck through there one night during a winter storm and the Horn blew a blast so big it covered my truck from stem to stern. I could see again just before the bridge... A few tense moments.
@@johngregory4801 sounds like an average winter day here. 😂. I live just south of the bridge, my son and I enjoy watching the tourist stand close to the spouting horn and unexpectedly get soaked. (Not much to do in a small town)
I was in the CG Auxiliary at Mare Island and qualified as a watch stander, in other words dispatcher. My day job was as a Paramedic. When would we get a call for man overboard or sinking or what ever emergency response, the crew would book it down to the 41 boat and be off! They were really gung ho a lot more than dry land counterparts.
Old video, remember the RNLI Waveny class boats? They were designed and built by the US Coast Guard. These are 47' MLB's and they've been around a couple of years longer than the RNLI Shannon class boats. Personally I think the Shannon's are prettier, but the performance parameters and capabilities are essentially the same (except these can't be launched off the beach)
I miss my morning checkoffs holding the falling ball comparator under my arm while drinking a cup of Joe with that ubiquitous shore station diesel taste. Go 41307!
This vessel does not have jet pumps. It has 2, 28” counter rotating 3 bladed non cupped propellers. The starboard propeller turns in a right rotation, the port propeller turns in a left rotation.
* the Starboard (right side) screw turns Clockwise, the Port (left side) turns in a counter clockwise direction . . . "Lefty loosey - Righty tighty." ☆
As a former Coast Guard Coxswain I can safely say these guys are going out for drills. For an MOB call the crew would be a bit more rushed to exit the harbor and SOP requires a blue light be energized once underway.
The "no damage" theory is good accept when the boat is in water shallow enough that when it rolls the antenna and radar mast is ripped off. True story.
That is a no kidding serious dangerous Bay! Much like St Paul in the bearing sea, if you blow it coming in, you may well be dead! It's worst with a following sea. The push tries to turn you beam onto the breakers and roll you over. If that happens, your dashed against rocks underneath the wreckage of your own boat. If you are an inexperienced boater you would be best advised to go north and try for Portland.
Love the video thank you! However, I am in ex-coasty! I do not understand what they were doing off the dock with the forward and reverse thrust test! If they were actually on a call they don't waste time with that. I work the Cape Disappointment motor Lifeboat School and motor surf school with Chief macadams! You get a call you fired the boat you toss the lines and you're gone. That's all that is needed to be said! Otherwise yes they are great boats I never got to serve on one but I have watched them and I watched them through development they are absolutely incredible however I am still partial to the old 44 footer! One of the best motor lifeboats motor surf boats ever produced. Thanks again for the video
If that was a real call out there did not appear to be much urgency to get going - faffing about in the harbour whilst a person is drowning?? Almost as slow as the US Fire Services!!
That is a very scenic bridge, but I'm guessing the one you are thinking is the bridge in Newport OR. . it's about 13 miles south..it has been in a few movies... check out One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest...
If that was a fast response thank God we have the boats and crews of the RNLI in UK waters. "O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea."
Please elaborate-I don’t know what that is. I am a novice at making videos-I didn’t mean to trap anyone. I love the ocean, boats, good winter lighting and tried to make a watchable video is all. How cool is it that this aluminum machine goes under the coastal highway and out this tiny harbor entrance to rescue people off the Oregon coast? Maybe I don’t get out enough. I’ll have to google entrapment video, it doesn’t sound very good :(. Will the police show up at my house?
as a former military service member of the Coast Guard when I was serving under Ron Reagan , it was called search and destroy , Hunter killer task force 🦅🇺🇸🦅💩
@@beardaquatics9163 I'm pretty sure the English do it in just as bad, or worse, conditions as the US Coastguard do - especially since the English started doing it with volunteers (male and female) in open row boats, long before modern rescue boats existed. You probably need to look at what the RNLI does (and has done in the past) before commenting. Perhaps take a look at this th-cam.com/video/8_WWoZ9L5lw/w-d-xo.html and learn.

Nice vid but too much misinformation. This has to be a drill and not what the lead intro said. That intro was possibly just bait to get us to watch it.
I agree with you. Except about the bait-it was just poor judgement and reasoning on my part. glad we got that straightened out. Now I know Depoe Bay is actually in Washington.
Well, I can see why you have so few subscribers. From the clip title it reads like there's action about to take place, but it looks more like a training exercise than an actual event. Coasties are not that slow when they respond to distress calls. They don't play forward and reverse in the harbor, They just go. And quickly. Your camera skills (or your camera) are lacking; the quality is rather poor and you have trouble maintaining focus and your shooting position was not ideal. Other than that it was rather boring. If you're going to put yourself out there and try to play with the big boys, get some big boy toys and some big boy skills. It probably got 73K views because USCG action videos attract attention, especially when shot in demanding environments, but I wonder how many clicked out of it after the first minute.

Or move into a gas pocket, then there is NO viscosity and EVERYTHING sinks.
And they're 47'11" long, a couple of feet shy of 50'

And its a 44 footer not 50
There was one thing right.
I does have a horn.
1974 for me - when we went out of Depot Bay on Memorial Day - and dropped wreaths as a fleet.
Unbelievably brave men and women!!!!
I am 63 now but when I was a boy my grandfather and I would go out of Depo Bay in the 20-foot Caulkins bar tender and what an amazing boat those bartenders are!
As a matter of principle I'm not crazy about boats that are advertised as Unsinkable.
Hello from Depoe Bay Oregon!

I did that on 44 and 36 footers in Group Coos Bay 55 years ago, lol. But I gotta say those 47 footers are just so kick ass compared to what we used.
I would think that if that boat rolled over there I’d going to be some damage to all those antennas and radars on top.
It does

Rolling in shallow water could be quite damaging! These guys are like fireman. You really get thrilled when you need them and there on their way!
I remember someone saying the Titanic was unsinkable and we know how that turned out.😳😬
That was the decoy ship 🚢 that sunk
In retrospect I’d say it was practice man overboard.
Very cool vid, and beautiful lighting that time of day!
Best fishing boat ever!
Nah, the old 41' UTB's were better at "gulf stream law enforcement patrol"

what a beautiful place it looks so small that there cant be a huge crime wave !
I gotta admit, for a man overboard emergency, they seemed to be doddling around more than I would have thought.
My thoughts exactly. And why pull out and then reverse? Then sit
People that work for the government make me sick I don't care what branch your the one that signed up to work for stupid get a real job
Have seen 2 of these roll over, one at Astoria and the other at Umpqua. Knew a coast guard engineman that said they really work great.
A million $ down the drain. Gotta love paying taxes
Like the Gorge bridge in Victoria BC. Been under that with my 34 Uniflite years ago.
Thanks for sharing
If they take that long to leave on a ‘man overboard’ call it’s probably going to be a body recovery mission.
As a former Coast Guard Coxswain I can safely say these guys are going out for drills. For an MOB call the crew would be a bit more rushed to exit the harbor and SOP requires a blue light be energized once underway.
Might consider moving a little faster
Must be a bunch of young kids , as they don't seem to be in a hurry !!!
If I won the Powerball I would buy one of those boats
Nice clip!
No jetpumps though...
Rollovers do cause quite some damage!
Roll over without damage? I don't think so, it would lose all that radar and communications gear.
Beautiful nautical scene.
Makes me want seafood.
Halfway tempted to roll over and whisper something "naut"y in the "mermaid"'s ear.
How many unsinkable boats have humans built now that are on the bottom of the ocean?
That is not a mayday response, more like a training cycle
God bless the Black shoes of the U.S.C.G.!
The "no damage" theory is good accept when the boat is in water shallow enough that when it rolls the antenna and radar mast is ripped off. True story.
i waited for it to tip over and right itself!!!!
Isn't it the same place that someone filmed one day during a tsunami surge ? Or maybe all harbors looks the same lol.
That upper cockpit sleeps more people than a state truck
Imagine that a boat with a horn
That is a no kidding serious dangerous Bay! Much like St Paul in the bearing sea, if you blow it coming in, you may well be dead!
It's worst with a following sea. The push tries to turn you beam onto the breakers and roll you over. If that happens, your dashed against rocks underneath the wreckage of your own boat. If you are an inexperienced boater you would be best advised to go north and try for Portland.
Even at $1 million, after saving it's first life, it's paid for itself...
I assume this is a short clip from a longer video. Was the man overboard found?
The amount of wrong information shared on this video is astounding.
That boat must cost way more than $1,000,000. A 50 foot new sportfisher is multi millions.
For the record, in the event of a rollover there is LOTS of drama.
Love the video thank you! However, I am in ex-coasty! I do not understand what they were doing off the dock with the forward and reverse thrust test!

I think it is the smallest harbor in the world.
I hope the overboard man has a plan B

Remember this film when next Congress votes on USCG funds.
That was it? I have more video of them working out of Depoe Bay then this.
Unsinkable my arse , hard to sink maybe
Wow, I would hate coming in that channel in crap weather!
Maybe a few sticks of dynamite well placed would widen that channel for two crafts and not one
