Hi
hahhahaah soo true
You know you’re in for a ride when the cabin has air tight locks and there’s a 5 point harness on the seats
RNLI all weathers have harness and securing points on the flying bridge too so if they go over and the coxswain is on that position, he's coming along for the ride. Anyone caught on the outer deck has plenty of railings to grab on and it'd just hold on tight, hold breath and pray really, really fast in your head. In the wheelhouse and even in the engine space there are rails run along the deckhead and bulkheads that are basically giant "OH JESUS!" handles too 🤗
@@MoA-Reload... that’s awesome
there's also a strip pole
They just flip over and don’t need to be rescued or strapped to cranes or tugs?! Hmm 🤔 I must not understand
If they look unquestionably water tight you’ll question the odds you turn over
Here's the thing to remember with self-righting motor lifeboats: just because it CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD. The surfmen take great care to avoid rolling the boat as much as possible, because rolling it is not a clean move. It'll flip back upright, but you're gonna break some stuff in the process. It's not designed to just get rolled and abused; it's designed to be able to survive and get you back to safety if conditions ever get that bad.
Coast Guard rocks.
Why can’t they make it do both?
@@SPX157 It just isn't practical from a construction or money standpoint. You've got things that are inherently delicate like antennas, electronics, controls, radar, etc, that simply can't take excessive abuse and can't really be designed to take it, at least not without great cost. Think of designing a car. You could theoretically design a car that would take no damage in a crash, like it would be so rigid that it wouldn't scratch or deform at all. But it would be ridiculously expensive and impractical. For example, you'd have to encase the headlights in some kind of reinforced medium to ensure they wouldn't break, but what happens when one burns out? It's a whole lot harder to replace. It's the same with the MLBs. You probably COULD make it survive anything. But it's too expensive and the tradeoffs are too great.
I can imagine some of those broken things might be arms, legs, and necks -- or are the crew secured against that possibility before a roll might happen?
@@HayTatsuko They are (at least they should be). Anyone in a seat has a harness that will hold them there. But anyone not in a seat if and when the boat rolls just has to hold on tight.
i mean with luck you can roll it without braking anything but yeah its not good for the engines because oil is not in the oilpan anymore when its upside down
Coast guard doesn't get enough credit. Saves more lives every year than anyone else.
They get PLENTY of credit...you just don't see it. If you live near a large body of water, you hear of their exploits regularly. They pull off incredible rescues and huge drug busts almost daily!
The ones that are the least heard of are the ones usually doing the most deeds.
Probably because they're not filtering out the people that should remain in the water
@Buttwheat ?
I always thought that would the one service branch I might join. My good buddy is in the coast guard. They're heroes to me.
Just imagine the reactions of people being rescued as they watch the rescue ships do 360 flips and roll at sea.

@@Soul_Alpha yes of course it is. Otherwise there wouldn't be starving people u clown
@@theonlineanimal6009 if u really think about it, money is man made 😂 it’s not like god made a living thing called money.
Engine lubrication, cooling and fuel delivery are also important factors to consider.
As far as fuel delivery, they have what is called a fuel bonnet in the tank. Essentially what it is is an upside down cup at the end of the fuel suction line. When the boat capsizes it becomes right side up and will be full of fuel. Which will provide enough fuel for the engines to continue to run for for maybe 20 seconds or so, long enough for the boat to right itself

*Sees Titanic sinking*
“Should’ve joined the coast guard”
Titanic was broken in half by an iceberg 🤨
@@smug3348 The collision with the iceberg didn’t cause it to break in half, it broke in half because of the ship not being able to support all the weight of the stern (and the people on it) when it was lifted out of the water.
A good way to demonstrate this, is by resting a pencil by its center, like a teeter totter, on the edge of a table, and then putting weight on both ends.
@@smug3348 thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and I have an iq of 102 (below average)
The Titanic had a double hull, and the iceberg only hit its portside bow, which actually only popped a few screws out (a lot of people thought it was a 300ft gash in the hull)
The water was contained for two hour.
The ship took another hour for water to hit the deck, and then it took another hour for the water to reach its center of gravity.
By that time, the ship had a lot of stress on its double hull, which was made to be able to scrape rocks and not puncture, which then forced the center of gravity to shift, while with the weight, made half of the double hull snap. The snapping of the double hull made the entire ship snap, and it was only hanging on from a small thread on the double hull.
@D R Newspapers titled it as unsinkable, White Star Line said it was 'almost' unsinkable.
Fun fact: the coast guard actually started tracking icebergs after that event and its one of the many missions the coast guard has to this day.

Cap
as an active duty coastguard, my favorite job i’ve had during my service has been my time at a heavy weather station, those 47’s as slow as they may be really are mini tanks. thankfully i never had a rollover, because it can still take two to three minutes to fully correct itself, but i always thought it’d be a nice adrenaline rush.
My grandpa was posted up at Cape Disappointment back in the 60’s. He said they would have to hold their breath for up to five minutes sometimes when they would flip. That’s how I knew I couldn’t be in the coast guard, haha.
How long can a crew breathe in that cab before they gotta open the door?
@@alexandersmith3989 well it really is circumstantial. i’m sure there is some time frame, but the 47s are known for their self-righting abilities after complete rollovers and knock downs. the thing is, more often than not you will never find yourself inside the pilot house or survivors compartment (interior of vessel) we are 99% of time on the bridge of the ship which is the outdoor weather deck or exposed portion of the 47. in the event of a rollover, where the ship completely flips over in the ocean, and for some reason you were below deck or had survivors in there, if i remember correctly it can take up to 2 minutes to correct itself. if it doesn’t correct itself i’d give you maybe at most an hour of good air depending how many people are in there.
@@alexandersmith3989 it is a ‘water tight’ ship but ultimately water would find its way in somewhere. but the pressure of the ocean pressing on the hatches leading into the boat would make it near impossible to open if the boat was upside down. another reason why we don’t go in there especially during heavy seas (sometimes 30 footers) we stand out there on the deck strap ourselves to some D rings with what we call heavy weather belts and hold on for dear life. if the ship flips it’s better to be floating in the ocean then stuck underneath it or inside it
@@alexandersmith3989 The real question is, can the crew tied to the boat outside the cabin hold their breath long enough for the boat to flip back over? My grandfather said there were times they’d be underwater for up to 5 minutes.
It’s a hard job.
Great work as always! And thank you for crediting your video/image/audio sources in the description! More people need to do that. Please consider including clickable links.
Oh it definitely capsizes. It just flips back over with or without the crew. 😂
That's called a rollover.
As others have said, usually most of the crew dies from fall damage when this happens.
Can you please make a long video on those boats?
No. They aren't big enough for a long video. 😁
Why

"Because of their size, making a military vessel watertight is impossible."
TMW subs exist
If I am right a submarine is not a ship it’s a boat. He also said ship not vessel. So he is right I believe. Saw it once in the navy the ships are on the water and boats beneath it. At least in uk.
@@McMahonshaunI didn’t know there was a difference between boat and ship
@@collinprice5689 There is a basic distinction, technically, between the term boat and ship. That said, it has literally NOTHING to do with submarines because those aren't even remotely classified as boats OR ships. Should be obvious, but they're an entirely different kind of vehicle. Calling a submarine a boat is basically the land equivalent of calling an airplane a car....
Anyway, in modern motorized craft a "ship" is a large ocean-going vessel (or one intended for deep-water transport, such as across a sea), while all others are "boats" and are mostly meant for use in shallower waters (coastlines, rivers, lakes, etc...).
TMW?

Also there are lots of mechanical systems on most ships that really don’t like being upsidedown, not to mention that unsecured humans and other loose objects are not gonna have a great time, gotta make a lot of sacrifices for this sorta capability
Better to sink then.
My grandpa served in the Coast Guard towards the end of the war. I still remember him telling me about training on these things. I didn’t think it was true.
"We lost the cargo and some people, but the ship is fine."

Unbelievably this has happened several times before, where the crew abandoned ship in a terrible storm thinking it would sink only for the ship to make it out perfectly fine and found drifting as a ghost ship.

"This boat cannot be capsized"
*literally then goes on to explain how they capsize"
makes for a better title than "these are self-righting boats" I suppose
@@MoA-Reload... Zactly
technically those CG boats are self righting and self bailing. The orange survival boats are also semi submersible. They can do a 360 roll (even a end over end) but since they roll back they aren't capsized.
However its very dangerous (esp if you hit ground) and damages a lot of expensive electronic equipment. The CG crew should be strapped in and must hold their breath since they normally drive topside.
Most ships have a maximum roll angle where they can't normally recover. That max is based on their watertight doors being closed. Remaining buoyant (very common for many boats) doesn't make it self righting. But the silver 47'MLB pictured, added a huge air chamber (under the radar) that helps quickly right it.
They capsize but return back up immediately…
Can we just appreciate the hard work coast guards go through

Double thumbs up for this rescue boat, credit to the inventor.
Was a KNRM open day, where there was a guy from a nother station who knew my dad who is also a volunteer at the KNRM, said that their Arie Visser class RIB got capsised 3 or so times almost in a row, still got the engine running, went to the sinking ship and went back to port with help of a helicopter who guided them out of the breakers. NOTE the KNRM (dutch volunteer group that save lives at sea like the RNLI) made the first self righting ship in 1927, her name was the insulide and is still afloat and well at the KNRM museum in Den Helder.
Nope
@@BALBES4000 Insulinde was the first self-righting motorized boat. There were self righting rowing sloops before that invented in England.
@@sail4life false
“It’s not what you’d think” *goes on to be exactly what I thought.
In Denmark lives were lost because the thought the rescuevessel was selfrighting.
They used the same test as shown here, where they dunk the boat upside down in the water, and the ship selfrigthed.
Turned out it was because of the initial push from the foam on top of the housing.
If you started the ship on the side it would stay that way and not selfright.
In a rescue on open sea the rescueboat ended on the side and stayed there, causing drowning, i can't remember if it was more then one person lost.
This boat is one of 3 variants. They have tested these for a few years now. They are built in Ireland. They have military applications as well. They go out into hurricanes and some areas known for their larger waves and just jam at em. These boats are a true testament to engineering. The other ones are all black and stealth fighter looking. I went to Google and typed in boats that can't sink. And found the link one day they have a sweet name for these boats but I cannot remember to save my life.
Make and model?

Coast Guard has the greatest sheer badassery of any of the US Armed Forces. You could not get me out on some of those waves for anything 🤣
So basically this is not applicable on a large scale cause of the logistical issues but also because of the sheer mass of larger ships?
Yes. Making a massive ship watertight is pretty unpractical.
Massive ships are also unlikely to capsize, even in a big storm, so it is likely not worth the effort.
@@NotWhatYouThink ight thanks
Remember safety is always a money issue with risk and reward. Would you be willing to pay 1000x more for shipping. Would you be willing to pay 1.5 times more ? All safety rules are normally written in blood. Life has a price. In some areas of the world life is less expensive. I guess we can call that logistics. It sounds better than the way I said it. At one time it was accepted not to have enough life jackets or life boats . The most dangerous thing most of us will do is get in an automobile. Risk / life management is always changing. It is wonderful that we have a service that is about saving lives.
The dark orange and red boats are the Finnish coast guard and sea rescue
I have seen like two of them cause I live in Finland
As a sea crewman at sea rescue in my country. These ships do rock and roll lmao. Also, the diesel engine air inlets has metal sliders on the exterior. Which slides to cover them during the capsize and recovery event. So the vessel is also fully operational in the event of a capsize. Unlike the smaller ribbs or pontoon vessels after initiating the self-righting balloon.
Also, in the event of damage to the hull. Its completely separate from the bridge. With watertight locks.
The smaller pontoon ribbs are also crazy. they have a buoyancy of 168% lol. Accounting for the hull/keel/pontoon configuration.
The crew is going to be hurt on a roll like that.
I’m sure they’ll.... turn out... fine.
