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.
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!
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 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!
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)
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 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.
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.
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."
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
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...
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.
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?
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.

Yep. It sure looked like training to me, but still fun to watch.
I believe it was training. If you look at the aft deck, you can see Oscar laying on the deck.

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'

There was one thing right.
I does have a horn.
Very cool vid, and beautiful lighting that time of day!

1974 for me - when we went out of Depot Bay on Memorial Day - and dropped wreaths as a fleet.

Must be a bunch of young kids , as they don't seem to be in a hurry !!!
In retrospect I’d say it was practice man overboard.
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!
Beautiful nautical scene.
Makes me want seafood.
Halfway tempted to roll over and whisper something "naut"y in the "mermaid"'s ear.
Best fishing boat ever!
Nah, the old 41' UTB's were better at "gulf stream law enforcement patrol"
@@erichammond9308 fish never obey laws
We had these types of Life boats for year's 👍🇬🇧

As a matter of principle I'm not crazy about boats that are advertised as Unsinkable.
That upper cockpit sleeps more people than a state truck
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
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.
Nice clip!
No jetpumps though...
what a beautiful place it looks so small that there cant be a huge crime wave !
Like the Gorge bridge in Victoria BC. Been under that with my 34 Uniflite years ago.
I remember someone saying the Titanic was unsinkable and we know how that turned out.😳😬
Rollovers do cause quite some damage!
My friend used to drive these boats.
God bless the Black shoes of the U.S.C.G.!
Roll over without damage? I don't think so, it would lose all that radar and communications gear.

That was it? I have more video of them working out of Depoe Bay then this.
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."
That crew should move faster.
More stuffing than a thanksgiving turkey.
Wow, I would hate coming in that channel in crap weather!
The amount of wrong information shared on this video is astounding.
Might consider moving a little faster

So did they save him or did he drown while thy were gearing up? Here's how the English do it th-cam.com/video/8vM8B8HV1O4/w-d-xo.html

Buckle in boys.
Unsinkable my arse , hard to sink maybe
Maybe a few sticks of dynamite well placed would widen that channel for two crafts and not one
Remember this film when next Congress votes on USCG funds.
and, so another boat goes out the inlet. now i see why i dont watch entrapment vids...anymore

The 47 MLB doesn't have jets. It is standard inboard rigged.
Fake video, not an actual mayday call, by the way they were lollygagging around putting on a dog & pony show for the camera.
All the crew on the top deck doesn't seem a great idea. Worst place to be in a rough sea.

Be sure you're using the correct pronouns when announcing "man overboard".
What's her draft? Imagine pretty shallow.
4ft 7in. at rest (much less when up on plane at speed) if I remember correctly.
