There was panic when a Chinese diesel-electric sub in the Taiwan Straits popped up alongside a Nimitz-class carrier having evaded the screening ships and submarine protecting it. Imagine the panic in the DoD when they realized the damage one Chinese sub could do to the prestige of the US Navy? The Chinese Captain and his first officer popped the hatch and waved at the Americans from their conning-tower, then went below and submerged. You can hear the laughter coming from that crew as they went home.

Also instead of massively increasing the Van Allen Belt (which is what nukes would do) they launched carbon dust to put a damper on the Van Allen Belt.
Yeah, they cancelled Sea Wolf because Virginia was cheaper, then it wound up being more expensive. They should ask Elon Musk to build them a submarine; he'd do it for a fraction of the cost, in half the time, with seven times the quality, 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, and he'd throw-in fart mode for free.

In my humble opinion, the Navy should have remained committed to the production of the Seawolf class of submarines with the capacity to upgrade factored in as newer and more effective technologies were achieved. If the reports concerning failures within the Virginia class of submarines regarding poor production qualify, forged verification documents concerning quality control, consistently large cost overruns and technology which fails to live up to its hype can serve as sobering reminders of the corruption which can exist within government contracts, coupled with the attitude of “We will just simply pass these massive costs and overcharges on to the American taxpayers.” The security of our beloved Republic and the readiness of our military forces is at stake. These elements should never be treated in such a dangerous, corrupt and potentially deadly manner.
The report I got on Seawolf was they were entirely too expensive to mass produce. Much like the old CGN Long Beach class in which the crushing expense resulted in only a single boat ever produced.
I agree with John's comment. This is not just a US problem, substandard materials are an issue for NATO navies including Canada. The steel on the new Canadian Artic Patrol Ships is of real concern as is the paint. These ships are fresh from Irving Shipyard in Halifax, Canada. A ship is only as good as the materials that go into her.
The navy’s top brass has got to wake up and get serious about the threats that the US may face in the near future. This means they have to pay attention to the submarine’s they are building.
I grew up in Eastern Connecticut just about 18 miles from Electric Boat division of General Dynamics, It was impossible to grow up in that area without knowing at least one person that worked or had ties to someone at EB. Therefore the pride of the Submarine Fleet and The United States Navy was spread throughout the populace of this area. For as long as I can remember fishing in the Thames River on the New London side, the west side of the river. Fishing off "Flat Fish Rock" for Stripers or whatever was running that day. Although I never saw the "Seaview" except on the TV, and I've visited the USS Nautilus. It was a sight Watching the big "Boomers". As well as the "Fast Attack" Boats, either leaving, or coming back from patrol. Cruising up and down, The Thames River. Some people say, that we don't need so big a military or Submarine force. But as long as there are evil entities in our world. Our Submarine force is the strongest deterrent, guarding us and the world against the mad men and women across the globe! I for one am glad that the USA has the knowledge and determination to protect our country, as well as the other freedom loving countries of the world. Thanks EB and the Men and Women that work there and have worked there. That through their hard work and devotion to their jobs, keep all freedom loving people and their societies safe from the threats of the evil minded.
I agree with much of what you say but the Lunatics have the keys to the Asylum as far as American politics go and it's not just the US. I kind of get the feeling that their powers of deterrence are being challenged, 1 minute 30 seconds to Midnight, not good.
The submarine showed in the beginning is from Voyage to the bottom of the Sea TV series in 1960's. The U.S. navy use both Virginia and Ohio class submarines. With the newest class in production, Columbia scheduled to be replacing the Ohio class. The Columbia is capable of satellite communication as well as firing tomahawk missiles while submerged the exact same way they fire ballistics missiles.
😆 Yeah that was called the Sea View in that old movie and series that they made back in the day. They certainly don't make them like that (movies/TV shows) no more.
Columbia will not be carrying Thawks. Since they are the replacement for the aging Trident SSBN class, whose sole purpose is nuclear deterrence, will most definitely not be carrying anything other than ICBMs. The first 4 Tridents were converted to SSGN for one of the nuclear treaties and the Navy did not want to decom boats that still had viable service life left. The The newer VAs are being fitted with the VPM, allowing them to replace the 4 SSGN. Columbia's will hide with pride and pray to God they never have to deliver their payload.
In fact, a Virginia class boat did successfully deploy to the artic a couple of years ago. These boat are true hunter killers. There are classified specs that will turn your heads
Sounds like they are building outdated and non-funktional, non-optimized equipment that have to be replaced asap. So that all sounds like a giant waste of money to me.
It’s the most deadly submarine in the world next to the Astute class. It protects our carrier fleets and hunts down Russia and Chinas nuclear subs before they launch nukes. There so quiet they follow our enemy’s without them knowing. So I’m completely satisfied withers my tax dollars go. Now go back to China or Russia troll.
As a former Sonar Technician I doubt very much that anything is outdated on these subs. There are many systems onboard that are key to the subs success like the Sonar System which are the eyes and wears of the sub while on patrol. If they are not mentioning it it is because it is very hush hush and effective. The biggest thing that guarantees success of subs on any mission is training and skills. This is one thing the silent service has in spades. Problems with the anechoic tiles is nothing new and relatively simple to correct. These subs are necessary to replace the ageing Los Angeles subs that have served us well for decades and are not a waste of money. There are few ship yards with the skills and tech to produce these subs so they MUST always be producing subs slowly or the country will lose this vital national asset. We are also producing subs for Australia.

Columbia have barely begun construction and won't be in service for a few more years. VAs, however, are already active members of the fleet and have been for awhile.
The company that falsified the records should cover the cost of repairs and someone should do jail time. We can't keep giving these people a pass for stealing the taxpayer's money.
The US is good for submarines, air Craft carriers and most supersonic missiles but way behind China about the moon rocket. It has been lunched so many times but it is still on the ground until today😆😆👎👎
If anyone commenting has ever served on a boat, they would know that these boats are awesome. And are a marked improvement on the older work houses, the iboats. Sure they had problems, but thats always the case when radical departure in form and function takes place. The successor boats will stand on the shoulders of these remarkable hunter killers.
9:10 and yet the submarine used in movie Navy Seals was "half billion dollar piece of equipment" ($500,000,000) as stated by the submarine skipper. These are around $2-3,000,000,000 hmmn
The mind boggles on all of the money and personnel that governments spend on their armed forces. End of the day when it comes, is that more than likely it will be some sort of biohazard that kicks it off. After all if populations are simply being wiped out what was the point of having a massive amount of hardware. That all said the safest place would probably be in a Submarine so carry on.
Love how the tile they use to advertise this video is the Sea View sub from the Movie and TV show "Voyage to the bottom of the Sea" So does it have lasers and electrify its hull to fight giant octopuses
missiles that break apart into more missiles, with antimissile missiles, and antisub/antitorpedo torpedoes... and/or swarm of drones to target responsible individuals selectively without risks to innocent bystanders... like that

There seams to be a gap between submarines, submarine drones, the Soviet Caspian sea monster, and satellites. In terms of nuclear capabilities. Reality is probably stranger then fiction
Perhaps the members of Congress and House of Representatives should pay for the cost overruns of the submarines out of their exorbitant salaries? Or give them the choice of finding the actual personnel responsible and making THEM pay?
In terms of salary, congress is not highly paid. I make more than any of them by far, and I'm not rich. Of course, I don't get any of the perks they get. Still, they got into congress because they were already rich; they didn't generally get rich because they got into congress.

Voyage to the bottom of the sea was one of my favorite shows as a kid in the early 60's ; the picture posted in the title is of the sea view from that show.
The claim that it's the first sub class not to need refueling is rather erroneous. It might be in the US , The UK nuclear subs have been fitted with Rolls Royce nuclear reactors that are fueled for life for decades.
Really? You keep comparing your reasoning for Seawolf light to the Russian navy, when the largest navy on Earth is Chinese, and they are allies? Don't embarrass yourself.
Is the US Navy bringing back the ASW Viking S3B to hunt subs again? I always thought that getting rid of ASW was dumb just because " maybe" Russia was not a threat for a bit.

The navy’s top brass has got to wake up and get serious about the threats that the US may face in the near future. This means they have to pay attention to the submarine’s they are building.
I grew up in Eastern Connecticut just about 18 miles from Electric Boat division of General Dynamics, It was impossible to grow up in that area without knowing at least one person that worked or had ties to someone at EB. Therefore the pride of the Submarine Fleet and The United States Navy was spread throughout the populace of this area. For as long as I can remember fishing in the Thames River on the New London side, the west side of the river. Fishing off "Flat Fish Rock" for Stripers or whatever was running that day. Although I never saw the "Seaview" except on the TV, and I've visited the USS Nautilus. It was a sight Watching the big "Boomers". As well as the "Fast Attack" Boats, either leaving, or coming back from patrol. Cruising up and down, The Thames River. Some people say, that we don't need so big a military or Submarine force. But as long as there are evil entities in our world. Our Submarine force is the strongest deterrent, guarding us and the world against the mad men and women across the globe! I for one am glad that the USA has the knowledge and determination to protect our country, as well as the other freedom loving countries of the world. Thanks EB and the Men and Women that work there and have worked there. That through their hard work and devotion to their jobs, keep all freedom loving people and their societies safe from the threats of the evil minded.
I've been to that Navy sub base when my best friend was stationed there and I was in the Army on leave.
I agree with much of what you say but the Lunatics have the keys to the Asylum as far as American politics go and it's not just the US. I kind of get the feeling that their powers of deterrence are being challenged, 1 minute 30 seconds to Midnight, not good.
seems like if nasa can fit a nuclear reactor on but a deep space probe... we could have much smaller, high speed boomers too. just sayin
The submarine showed in the beginning is from Voyage to the bottom of the Sea TV series in 1960's. The U.S. navy use both Virginia and Ohio class submarines. With the newest class in production, Columbia scheduled to be replacing the Ohio class. The Columbia is capable of satellite communication as well as firing tomahawk missiles while submerged the exact same way they fire ballistics missiles.
😆 Yeah that was called the Sea View in that old movie and series that they made back in the day. They certainly don't make them like that (movies/TV shows) no more.
Columbia will not be carrying Thawks. Since they are the replacement for the aging Trident SSBN class, whose sole purpose is nuclear deterrence, will most definitely not be carrying anything other than ICBMs. The first 4 Tridents were converted to SSGN for one of the nuclear treaties and the Navy did not want to decom boats that still had viable service life left. The The newer VAs are being fitted with the VPM, allowing them to replace the 4 SSGN. Columbia's will hide with pride and pray to God they never have to deliver their payload.
In fact, a Virginia class boat did successfully deploy to the artic a couple of years ago. These boat are true hunter killers. There are classified specs that will turn your heads
I don’t think Russia or China is in panic mode. Remember, they have nukes. If anything goes down its armageddon for all maybe except Finland.
I don’t see them panicking , they’ve been around for what 3000 years or so
Who knew the U.S. had a Seaview class?
Sounds like they are building outdated and non-funktional, non-optimized equipment that have to be replaced asap. So that all sounds like a giant waste of money to me.
It’s the most deadly submarine in the world next to the Astute class. It protects our carrier fleets and hunts down Russia and Chinas nuclear subs before they launch nukes. There so quiet they follow our enemy’s without them knowing. So I’m completely satisfied withers my tax dollars go. Now go back to China or Russia troll.
Upgrade just like anything else! As technology advances, so as equipments. We can afford it!
As a former Sonar Technician I doubt very much that anything is outdated on these subs. There are many systems onboard that are key to the subs success like the Sonar System which are the eyes and wears of the sub while on patrol. If they are not mentioning it it is because it is very hush hush and effective. The biggest thing that guarantees success of subs on any mission is training and skills. This is one thing the silent service has in spades. Problems with the anechoic tiles is nothing new and relatively simple to correct. These subs are necessary to replace the ageing Los Angeles subs that have served us well for decades and are not a waste of money. There are few ship yards with the skills and tech to produce these subs so they MUST always be producing subs slowly or the country will lose this vital national asset. We are also producing subs for Australia.
@@Joeladgra When we can't even stop illegal immigrants from crossing our borders? When we have poor education systems? When we have a corrupt government? When we are over 15 Trillion in Debt? Wake up, sheep.
Ok unless you were born yesterday you would know that most military equipment/vehicles are built to last. I mean we're still using M1A2 Abrams and those things were first constructed in 1986.
You have to love how they showed a picture of the SeaView submarine from the t.v. show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. LOL!
That submarine looks like the Seawolf from Voyage to the bottom of the sea.
The sub's front windows might look better with venetian blinds
How ridiculous!! That submarine is from Voyage to the Bottom of the Seas, a TV series from the 1960s…
Did you ever expect the flip phone woul become an industry cellular phone standard.
Don't you think they should have a periscope as a backup for that capability, just encase anything goes wrong?
First Accountability for everyone responsible for the fraud before taking a step forward. But that should have been known already.
Biggest problem is lack of responsibility in today’s generation.
Stop with the click bate! To put a picture of the “Seaview” submarine as the capture pic was stupid.
Buy once, cry once. Build it right, make it future adaptable, and build it quicker. Then backcharge companies that build substandard parts and equipment.
3:47 "The boat has a classic U.S. hull layout"
*shows the bow section of a submarine leaving a construction building, the submarine shown is BRITISH, built by CAMMELL LAIRD SHIPBUILDERS in Birkenhead, England!
AWESOME!!! LOVE IT!!! Keep watching the dirty enemy!!!
You missed talking about the Columbia class sub. Is this not the more advance built sub?
Columbia have barely begun construction and won't be in service for a few more years. VAs, however, are already active members of the fleet and have been for awhile.
Compromised quality? Forged documents? Taxpayers on the hook? All together now! “Ooohhh! Didn’t see that comin’!”
These videos would be so much more interesting if you used standard foot/inches for the specifications instead or listing specs in meters.
Loved working on these while I was at L3Harris in there maritime power division in field service!
The company that falsified the records should cover the cost of repairs and someone should do jail time. We can't keep giving these people a pass for stealing the taxpayer's money.
Wouldn't it be something if everyone just got along.
Thanks to US Navy. Proud of our service men and women.
The US is good for submarines, air Craft carriers and most supersonic missiles but way behind China about the moon rocket. It has been lunched so many times but it is still on the ground until today😆😆👎👎
If anyone commenting has ever served on a boat, they would know that these boats are awesome. And are a marked improvement on the older work houses, the iboats. Sure they had problems, but thats always the case when radical departure in form and function takes place. The successor boats will stand on the shoulders of these remarkable hunter killers.
Nice to see a glimpse of Britians Astute class being wheeled out 3.45 into the video
Soon as I seen the sub I thought Seaview from voyage to the bottom of the sea front end looks pretty close so does the whole sub
Conning tower's too far forward.
9:10 and yet the submarine used in movie Navy Seals was "half billion dollar piece of equipment" ($500,000,000) as stated by the submarine skipper.
These are around $2-3,000,000,000 hmmn
most advanced and deadly submarine. And submarines hav to be of the highest quality 👍🙂
yes mission critical high pressure vessel enviroment. many more Atmos/PSI than vacuum of Space!
@@elysiumdevice ❤
The mind boggles on all of the money and personnel that governments spend on their armed forces. End of the day when it comes, is that more than likely it will be some sort of biohazard that kicks it off. After all if populations are simply being wiped out what was the point of having a massive amount of hardware. That all said the safest place would probably be in a Submarine so carry on.
Love how the tile they use to advertise this video is the Sea View sub from the Movie and TV show "Voyage to the bottom of the Sea" So does it have lasers and electrify its hull to fight giant octopuses
You Forgot The Flying Sub lol
@@bengray2568 It also has the mini sub (not the Flying Sub) and a diving bell.
missiles that break apart into more missiles, with antimissile missiles, and antisub/antitorpedo torpedoes... and/or swarm of drones to target responsible individuals selectively without risks to innocent bystanders... like that
dont forget the digging drone anti-underground bunker busting mining bot automation bombs for airforce and army- the slow but sure and inevitable, underground missiles that mine their way to the tagets, unmanned and with high yields- no matter how deep an enemy dig! (maybe 200 miles to international underground, lol)
The Atomic Submarine is a 1959 independently made, American black-and-white science-fiction film directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet[3] and starring Arthur Franz, Dick Foran, Brett Halsey, Joi Lansing and Jean Moorhead, with John Hilliard as the voice of the alien. The film was produced by Alex Gordon and distributed by Allied Artists Pictures Corporation.[4]
68 Poseidons. Where did you get this number? Each delivers 200 MT of TNT. Which in total is 13.6 GT. It will destroy all life on Earth! This can't be right.
I used to have a model of the Seaview, as a kid, and my brother had the Flying Sub.
Who owns space, owns the world. Space Force. Solar Warden. Secret Space Programs.
Thank goodness God owns the oceans, so He owns the World....
Miss my first duty station in Washington state on the uss Alabama ssbn 731 blue crew. Loved every minute of service.
Who noticed the British flag on the front of that new sub, being slipped into to water from the port it was built at. I suppose 🤔
Thats what I was thinking. Thay didn't mention that thou in the video 🤔 I think we should get a shout out and some dew respect. Britain can build anything world class. If only the government put its money were it's month is.
There seams to be a gap between submarines, submarine drones, the Soviet Caspian sea monster, and satellites. In terms of nuclear capabilities. Reality is probably stranger then fiction
I like how they show Hollywood prop at the beginning to suck us in , LOL
Hopefully, they fixed Seaview's control room. It was prone to explosions and fires.
Perhaps the members of Congress and House of Representatives should pay for the cost overruns of the submarines out of their exorbitant salaries? Or give them the choice of finding the actual personnel responsible and making THEM pay?
I was really impressed with Joe's 85 billion dollar going away gift for Taliban
In terms of salary, congress is not highly paid. I make more than any of them by far, and I'm not rich. Of course, I don't get any of the perks they get. Still, they got into congress because they were already rich; they didn't generally get rich because they got into congress.
@@waterheaterservices thermite anti armor shells for that
Sensationalism, nobody panics.
I liked the Polaris subs that's a blast from the past.
TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF THE KICKBACKS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ATHROSERED IT
I think that for our military, if anyone contractor provided less than standard material knowingly, that they should be executed as that mission from the military could’ve been the utmost of our national security.
but not for politicians and celebrity figures making it precedent? who should have the highest standard and responsibilty- logically of us all but our great leaders whom lead by example? youd think the ill-politic minded americans would be tired of hating each other, just the same by now, but not yet i guess. working class civilians, doing it right should agreeably get more bright a future, more rights, more incentives, and more finacial reward. not the sellout /psychologically sabatoging/ academic indoctrinators of our youth- the biggest enemy, the social atheist's communism by force club of our institutions anti-religious anti-moral majority , those always pushing american selfhate, selling racism and divisions, pure godlessness but answer only unto themselves, rebels against all convention thats good and fruitful, subliminal sponsers of unlimited unaccountabilty, criminality, and which is almost always backwards now, so full of self hate, blind loathing, and often pure evil.
america needs to get back its heartfelt love of one another despite our diffrences- its strenghts and not its weakness, its mutual respect, love, and demand for civil ideals, of personal liberty, its revere for human rights, and the freedoms that once made us strong-the most strong, most ethical and fiercly brave, the one and only home to freedom called america. world needs you, back to your old self badly, before it caves to an unescapable and completely widespread global communist/dictator concentration camp of the east, and before its too late.
Virginia Class subs are the best ever!
I'm mildly surprised that such detailed information is publicly available. But yes, I'd call this "truly formidable".
Totally agree on the public availability of such info.
there's a reason why Veterans aren't impressed with the "military grade" specification
Absolutely a formidable weapon!!!
the just in case scenorios, and maybe to prevent it
Does it come equipped with a miniature flying sub too?
I'd like The Seawolf the Best,
But hard to say, if the New is better than the Virginia Class,?? I do Hope so.🙏
Voyage to the bottom of the sea was one of my favorite shows as a kid in the early 60's ; the picture posted in the title is of the sea view from that show.
The claim that it's the first sub class not to need refueling is rather erroneous. It might be in the US , The UK nuclear subs have been fitted with Rolls Royce nuclear reactors that are fueled for life for decades.
WHAT?!?! Misinformation in a TH-cam video? Next your going to tell me there is no free energy, the world is flat, yada yada yada...
The US has had nuclear subs for decades.
@@jeffreyryan7671 who told you that. I've ordered the hit by secure fax. Just waiting for the read receipt
I bet you that some of Virginia's will be refueled
@@jeffreyryan7671 lol we are talking submarines. So by design things not talked about
Hold companies accountable like you kids. Punish and charge them for tax payers monies.
Or satellite surveillance, plus appropriate directional or even precision weapons
Really? You keep comparing your reasoning for Seawolf light to the Russian navy, when the largest navy on Earth is Chinese, and they are allies?
Don't embarrass yourself.
Is the US Navy bringing back the ASW Viking S3B to hunt subs again? I always thought that getting rid of ASW was dumb just because " maybe" Russia was not a threat for a bit.
I dont think they will have a carrier based subhunter other than maybe a LAMPs.
The P-8s have a very long leg and can air refuel.
Why can't we have these small nuclear reactors for civilian use.
ask the environmentalists
It's amazing what we keep investing time and money on.
Just make more of the Typhoon class and be done. 24 Nuclear Trident missiles aboard.
Bring back the Sea Wolf.
Who do these people think they are kidding, they keep showing the submarine Seaview. Not the first time either!
We desperately need to up the hypersonic capabilities cuz the amount of hypersonic missiles that China has can leave our Military inoperable
Chairman Bei Jing Biden and The Party is very concerned
Maybe Reagan's secret Star Wars missile defense can save us
Shoutout to anyone who remembers _Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea_
The movie or the series?
