HMS Bulldog just escorted convoys….no mention of the capture of the first enigma machine in 1941. Clearly that wasn’t an important enough event to mention!😳
So when Britain decided to build the original Dreadnought class (20,000 tons) it took just over 1 year to get it into service, the fastest build was 5 months to service. In comparison modern "production" appears to be none existent, can anyone explain why it takes nearly 3 years to built a 7000 ton vessel?
Part of it is the high technical complexity but the government and shipyard both agree on slower construction times because the shipyards need constant work but the government doesn’t want to order more. It’s the reason why the astute class had taken so long to build, the government didn’t want more than 7 boats but if the boats were all finished without another order coming the yard would just close so they slow it all down so by the time the last astute is finished it’s time to build the dreadnought class.
It is not the weight it is the content. For example, you have to figure out your sensor fit, C & C systems plus the things that go bang, propulsion set up etc., before you start cutting steel. Back in the day the bit that took longest was building the guns, especially the built up tubes. Part of the reason KGV et al had 14", though more 15"/42 were considered, and not 16" (take too long and need to take decision and start NOW.). I wonder if the UK still makes the steel.
The Royal Navy has shrunk considerably during my lifetime, and especially since the fall of the Soviet Union. It needs to be at least three times larger than its present size
The Type 32’s “General Purpose” frigates will be built. They will be used for the soft type of work, Caribbean patrol; two are to be stationed in Jamacia, Singapore and somewhere else in the Med. The T31’s will end up in the Gulf and more challenging places. Some T26 will provide both carriers with sufficient Royal Navy coverage, not relying on other nations who may not share the UK’s outlook. The remaining T26 and a few Nuc attack and HMS Dreadnought and HMS King George VI, will be going to Australia to help our cousins in deterring you know who.
The last 2 SSBNs will be deployed to do deterrence, and not against China specifically. A few SSNs to the Pacific, nah, 1 or 2 at best, with only 7 in service.
Your predictions regarding the type 31s and 32s are possible, however with the type 26s you seem to be forgetting the fact that Russia exists. We will need them closer to home so I doubt they'll be off down under. Same for any boomer subs, doubt we would ever want them out of range of Moscow. An Astute is set to be based out of Perth some time in the latter half of this decade I believe and again I doubt we would want to commit more than that when kind of need them at home, it is possible we could increase it to two at a push but we risk leaving home waters very thinnly defended.
@@regarded9702 Technically they can be in range from anywhere on the planet the main thing shorter distance provides is less time for the target to react so theres less chance of vips reaching bomb shelters so they get to die alongside the peasants instead of being locked up underground for months only to emerge into a radioactive wasteland with no survival or agricultural skills to feed them so if theyre lucky they'll starve before cancer gets them.
Type 32 could well just be a Type 31 batch 2, so they could be more more or less the same. Type 32 is supposed to have anti mine and other specialist roles so they wont just be kept in the Caribbean and i doubt based in Jamaica, that area is served better by batch 2 River class patrol ships and auxiliary ships. There is talk of a plan to forward base 1 or 2 Type 31s in the Med and 1 or 2 in the Asia Pacific but that isnt set in stone. Type 26 will be for carrier escort, anti sub and higher end duties along with the Type 45 air defense destroyers. No Type 26 or nuke SSBNs are going to Australia, the plan is to forward base 1 Astute SSN there in a few years. All Type 45 and 26 and nuke SSBNs will stay based in the UK.
Shocking, the lack of investment in the Navy. We are sitting ducks at the moment. With the new type of warfare we have seen in Black Sea and the Red Sea, we are now seeing why it was needed.

The Army has always had to make do with less & before the Russian threat reared its ugly head the proposal was to make the Army so small you could drown it in a bath tub...no kidding...they actually thought that if you just bought drones you wouldn't need an army to actually fight & occupy the battle field. This is what happens when none of your Politicians have actually served their country in the armed forces & have no conception of how war works.

@@Mmjk_12 Please do me a favour and stick with a subject you know something about. You have no idea about the project for a man who, I assume, hasn't even been in the Devonshire building. They take 10 years each to build and had some complexities. Christ
@@Highendaudio1the point about keeping shipyards constantly working by drawing out timelines is true. It's the same reason BAE were tasked with designing Taranis and then Tempest after Typhoon entered production, to maintain skilled posts in those companies
@@Mmjk_12 wow. Do you really believe that utter guff that you have come out with. Wow. Wait till I tell the lads. Your messing about you could build these in two years. 🤣 brilliant. So why have we had to depend 500 million plus refitting plus add huge running costs to keep 2x T boats and 1 x Sboat running at the time. To bridge the gap until the various boats were completed.
Instead of building a massive 3 rd aircraft carrier. Building 2 invincible class aircraft carrier and 2 small commando carrier. One small commando carrier and 1 small aircraft carrier can give bigger punch than a third aircraft carrier. Put these two xtra vessels with the queen Elizabeth aircraft and prince of Wales. This would be a force to recon with.
@frankthompson6503 Who claims that we are building a third carrier? Utter nonsense. Capabilities do not need to be numbers. The amphibious capabilities are available on the two carriers nothing you have suggested makes sense
It’s great to see the Royal Navy grow however a looming Labour government I fear will cancel many ship build programmes and possibly even decommission many existing vessels
Fantastic, but, do they power, stear, navigate, fire weapons and repair themselves at sea, as there's no personal available to operate them, such is the level of people joining the forces being so low.
Shipbuilding is deliberately kept at a steady pace so that they're always working over a long time frame. That means we don't lose vital skills between projects and have to close down empty yards
Look we have the money. The UK holds 700 billion dollars of US debt. The UK is the 3rd Highest holder in the world of US debt and doesn't evenhave a trade deal. What about using a little of it and getting this country back on track.
The new defense role means they will be having hospitality suites installed and stocks of free iPhones to assist any people travelling across in to the UK.
The British have the best names for their warships. We always go with the name of a state or person. No disrespect, but Gerald Ford or Ronald Reagan doesn’t sound nearly as cool as “victory” or “conqueror” or “vanguard” etc.
Its the multiple warheads on each missile that count. Each Trident missile can deliver 12 independently-targeted warheads, giving each Vanguard- class submarine the capability to deploy 192 warheads. In practice it is British Government policy to deploy no more than 48 warheads per submarine and probably around 12 missiles per submarine with 3-4 warhead each.
Change of governments, defence reviews, we'll be lucky if a third of these will be completed. A larger navy, army, airforce, it all adds to local economies, more spending, more employment. There is no end product apart from defence in the initial outlay, but the ripple effects in the resulting jobs and spending power of employees is forgotten.
Why go bigger. 1 massive aircraft carriers. Or 20 fast hard hitting armed to the teeth inshore patrol vessel. OR. 2 invincible class aircraft carrier. Or 2 small commando carrier. Better still 20 inshore patrol vessel platforms 2 invincible class aircraft carrier and 2 small commando carrier.
Britain has type 31 destroyer. Procurement officer said we are building a bigger 3 rd aircraft carrier. My point is why building a massive target when we could get two invincible class aircraft carrier for the same price. No offence sir
It's tempting to ask why we plan and continue to make targets for Houthis. And the captions and narration still have problems with spelling and pronunciation. Cam-bridge, comidee, shed-ulled, HMS Bulldock etc. Quite why these people can't find a narrator who's familiar with English or a caption writer that can spell, or has even read the script is beyond me.
All these shjps aren't arriving until the 2030s for pete's sake that's 7 years away. The RN is building its fleet for its peacetime role it isn't considering its role in wartime - the T32 especially is not a ship capble of going to war against a peer adversary. When we had a large navy there was a case for having ships that could do a decent job whilst waiting for fleet units to arrive and deal with whatever they'd encontered, now every ship needs to be capable of putting up a decent fight. The Astutes are great boats but 6 are not enough, similarly I hope they have been designed with the possibility of refueling them even if it's not expected to be necessary. The dereadnoughts will be necessary to replace the Vanguards. Similarly the T26s are great ships, but we're not building enough of them and building them too slowly- and why aren't they already in service? Had they been built on the original schedule they would have been a candidate for the US Constitution class - such a huge missed oppourtunity. The T31 and T32s are not suitable for modern warfare and are outmatched by peer competitors, we should have learned what happened to such ships in the Falklands (the T21s).
How are the T32s underarmed if you don’t even know what their armament is? T31 will have 32 Mk 41, 8 NSM, maybe some more CAMM silos- up to 24 mentioned, and a very good gun fit. Hardly underarmed.
Not bad for a third rate military ( according to the U.S. defence department ) The UK don't need to build on mass, what they build is for future thinking.
Even at the height of Empire, the UK never has had a large army in peacetime. It is the benefit of being an island nation and the reason why the Navy is the Senior Service.
@@UsuallyTrollingBefore WW1, the Army was mostly used for colonial policing. The bulk of the heavy lifting was done by the Royal Navy and their Marines
The Tory government "privatised" the recruiting centres and gave to an infamous outsourcing company known as Capita or is it is more commonly known, Crapita. The navy doesn't have enough sailors to man the huge Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers so how are they going to run these new ships. Recruiting has to begin again staffed by naval personnel or the best navy in the world will end ignominiously.
yeh great but we need some low tech cheap heavily armed coastal / ocean going craft for anti pirate, anti drugs, anti smuggling, illegal migration, fisheries etc no point assigning the big bucks hi tech ships to these duties
These are all impressive vessels. Lets just hope they are built and put into service sooner rather than later....then start building more of them.

Idk who designed the aesthetics of these frigates but they are sleek af
T31 is based of the Danish design Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate which is itself based of the Absalon-class ... I believe the design itself was probably done by Odense Maritime Technology (OMT) company ...
11-15 years to build a submarine ??? Then it only lasts 25 years...Somehow that doesn't seem right 😮
@TheMormonPower You have clearly never been on a submarine to see how complex they are. They have always taken 10 years to build
@@Mmjk_12 Please do me a favour and stick with a subject you know something about. You have no idea about the project for a man who, I assume, hasn't even been in the Devonshire building. They take 10 years each to build and had some complexities. Christ
@@Highendaudio1the point about keeping shipyards constantly working by drawing out timelines is true. It's the same reason BAE were tasked with designing Taranis and then Tempest after Typhoon entered production, to maintain skilled posts in those companies
@@Orbital_Inclination Total guff Chris You have no idea of the production issues. Reactors take 10 years to build. Stop the nonsense
@@Mmjk_12 wow. Do you really believe that utter guff that you have come out with. Wow. Wait till I tell the lads. Your messing about you could build these in two years. 🤣 brilliant. So why have we had to depend 500 million plus refitting plus add huge running costs to keep 2x T boats and 1 x Sboat running at the time. To bridge the gap until the various boats were completed.
They look good on paper but usually that's how they remain !!!
There already being built
build more and quicker open new yards..
Instead of building a massive 3 rd aircraft carrier.
Building 2 invincible class aircraft carrier and 2 small commando carrier.
One small commando carrier and 1 small aircraft carrier can give bigger punch than a third aircraft carrier.
Put these two xtra vessels with the queen Elizabeth aircraft and prince of Wales.
This would be a force to recon with.
@frankthompson6503 Who claims that we are building a third carrier? Utter nonsense. Capabilities do not need to be numbers. The amphibious capabilities are available on the two carriers nothing you have suggested makes sense
It takes 13 years from keel to active service for a submarine?
It’s great to see the Royal Navy grow however a looming Labour government I fear will cancel many ship build programmes and possibly even decommission many existing vessels
Let's not forget that SDSR 2010, which wrecked many key military capabilities, was under Tory rule
Where is #Type83 ❓
Fantastic, but, do they power, stear, navigate, fire weapons and repair themselves at sea, as there's no personal available to operate them, such is the level of people joining the forces being so low.
Computer - read narration is appalling - "Edenburg?" very boring presentation....
Tell this to the marines!!
It's a pity that the new aircraft carrier Prince of Wales wasn't named Ark Royal.
God save the King. And all who sail on her 😜
2 hard hitting small commando carrier.
2 smaller fast hitting aircraft carriers.
They need to have an HMS Glowworm!
11 years to build a submarine!
Shipbuilding is deliberately kept at a steady pace so that they're always working over a long time frame. That means we don't lose vital skills between projects and have to close down empty yards
What about 20 inshore fast hitting patrol vessel platforms.
Armed to the teeth.
There have been 5 Agincourt this century. So why the. Question now?
to be commissioned in 2200
8000ton frigates?
Edinburgh is pronounced 'EH-DIN-BRA.' Can't these 'ai' presentations get it right?
The first name for the carrier Charles de Gaulle was " Rostbif "
Look we have the money. The UK holds 700 billion dollars of US debt. The UK is the 3rd Highest holder in the world of US debt and doesn't evenhave a trade deal. What about using a little of it and getting this country back on track.
Pity they arn't in the English Channel.
The new defense role means they will be having hospitality suites installed and stocks of free iPhones to assist any people travelling across in to the UK.
Fine by me Do not forget HMS Alamain Battle class destroyer😊
Thee vessels better be autonomous as the UK just doesn't have the sailors to run them
Good thing these 6 to 10 years to construct etc didnt happen in ww11
Oh my god the pronunciations of some of names of the ships in this video is really bad.
its the People in the UK who need to learn how to pronounce English
The Dreadnought class is 4 submarines not one
Here will UK get money to financed these war ships, print them?
Bring back Capt Pugwash 😂
The only sensible comment here.
The British have the best names for their warships. We always go with the name of a state or person. No disrespect, but Gerald Ford or Ronald Reagan doesn’t sound nearly as cool as “victory” or “conqueror” or “vanguard” etc.
04:34 HMS Eding-BERG!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Dreadnough class, 17000 tons for only 12 tridents? ... Well, not impressive.
Its the multiple warheads on each missile that count. Each Trident missile can deliver 12 independently-targeted warheads, giving each Vanguard- class submarine the capability to deploy 192 warheads. In practice it is British Government policy to deploy no more than 48 warheads per submarine and probably around 12 missiles per submarine with 3-4 warhead each.
if the UK has to use its deterrent then the deterrent has failed.
@@ggarlick46Every slbm has multiple war head. It remains not impressive.
It would look very impressive if it landed on yer head mate.@@hangar1873
@@UsuallyTrolling 1. That doesn't mean we don't need one especially these days. 2. We might be firing those misdiles sooner than you think.
Hopefully they will all be able to counter sea drones. Ask Ruzzia
Change of governments, defence reviews, we'll be lucky if a third of these will be completed. A larger navy, army, airforce, it all adds to local economies, more spending, more employment. There is no end product apart from defence in the initial outlay, but the ripple effects in the resulting jobs and spending power of employees is forgotten.
If you want to upset the French how about naming a ship, "Roi Louis"
Imagine we grew up in A time where we still had the prestigious battleships and cruisers etc. we used to make instead of this charmless sheit
Please focus on shafts and reduction gears😂
They need a dedicated drone ship or 3
Half are really corvettes!
This just makes me laugh 🤣😂🤣
Wouldn't the Dreadnought will carry 16 Missiles as the Ohio class submarines, with 7 nuclear warheads each one?
What’s the point, they can’t even stop dinghies
How would you stop the dinghies?
The RN isn't allowed to fire at small dinghies crossing the English channel.
@@JollyOldCanuck ...exactly, that's why bushwhack is talking out of his backside!
Why go bigger.
1 massive aircraft carriers.
Or 20 fast hard hitting armed to the teeth inshore patrol vessel.
OR.
2 invincible class aircraft carrier.
Or
2 small commando carrier.
Better still
20 inshore patrol vessel platforms
2 invincible class aircraft carrier and 2 small commando carrier.
Britain has type 31 destroyer.
Procurement officer said we are building a bigger 3 rd aircraft carrier.
My point is why building a massive target when we could get two invincible class aircraft carrier for the same price.
No offence sir
It's tempting to ask why we plan and continue to make targets for Houthis.
And the captions and narration still have problems with spelling and pronunciation. Cam-bridge, comidee, shed-ulled, HMS Bulldock etc. Quite why these people can't find a narrator who's familiar with English or a caption writer that can spell, or has even read the script is beyond me.
a sub hiding in the English channel could do much to stop an invasion
Where the fuck's Eedinburg?
Its up the road from Glasscow....
All these shjps aren't arriving until the 2030s for pete's sake that's 7 years away. The RN is building its fleet for its peacetime role it isn't considering its role in wartime - the T32 especially is not a ship capble of going to war against a peer adversary. When we had a large navy there was a case for having ships that could do a decent job whilst waiting for fleet units to arrive and deal with whatever they'd encontered, now every ship needs to be capable of putting up a decent fight. The Astutes are great boats but 6 are not enough, similarly I hope they have been designed with the possibility of refueling them even if it's not expected to be necessary. The dereadnoughts will be necessary to replace the Vanguards. Similarly the T26s are great ships, but we're not building enough of them and building them too slowly- and why aren't they already in service? Had they been built on the original schedule they would have been a candidate for the US Constitution class - such a huge missed oppourtunity. The T31 and T32s are not suitable for modern warfare and are outmatched by peer competitors, we should have learned what happened to such ships in the Falklands (the T21s).
How are the T32s underarmed if you don’t even know what their armament is?
T31 will have 32 Mk 41, 8 NSM, maybe some more CAMM silos- up to 24 mentioned, and a very good gun fit. Hardly underarmed.
Wow. some duff info here. Batch 1 The type 26s are all the same. The Type 31s are in my view are a waste of time built to civilian spec.
It's about time we spent summer money on our armed forces and navy Institute, giving them pennies.
Not bad for a third rate military ( according to the U.S. defence department ) The UK don't need to build on mass, what they build is for future thinking.
Even at the height of Empire, the UK never has had a large army in peacetime. It is the benefit of being an island nation and the reason why the Navy is the Senior Service.
@@glynnwright1699and we were caught with our pants down in ww1 and had to rapidly create an army out of thin air
@@UsuallyTrolling ...and WWII, a recurring theme.
@@UsuallyTrollingBefore WW1, the Army was mostly used for colonial policing. The bulk of the heavy lifting was done by the Royal Navy and their Marines
@@Orbital_Inclination yeah i know, and we were not ready to fight a land war
The Tory government "privatised" the recruiting centres and gave to an infamous outsourcing company known as Capita or is it is more commonly known, Crapita. The navy doesn't have enough sailors to man the huge Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers so how are they going to run these new ships. Recruiting has to begin again staffed by naval personnel or the best navy in the world will end ignominiously.
Bring back the battleships
Please do this kind of video for india aswell you'll be shocked to see how many vessel are about to come
yeh great but we need some low tech cheap heavily armed coastal / ocean going craft for anti pirate, anti drugs, anti smuggling, illegal migration, fisheries etc no point assigning the big bucks hi tech ships to these duties
build more yards
Come on @the buzz, at least get the flags right see 6:53
