- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ม.ค. 2016
- Britain's nuclear submarines are so secret they surface only to take on food, and non-operational contact is limited to 120 words. Our Defence Correspondent Alistair Bunkall has met the crew of HMS Vigilant, one of the UK's four Trident nuclear submarines. Read more here trib.al/up0FtIP

The UK Nuclear deterrent. Fired using something that looks like a Scalextric controller.
Phil O'Shaughnessy works though
Phil O'Shaughnessy If it’s stupid and it works, it ain’t stupid.
Joseph Fawcett
Jingles?
There are two. Red is the 'real' one and black for training. They are modeled on US Police Magnum pistols. Much heavier than the little Scalextric controller.
Keep it simple!
It's not under the sea, it's in the sea
Simon Cowell so true, always pisses me off when they say that, planes don’t fly above the sky do they?
Agreed but show respect to the boys, i did it for 26 years, we miss our families and dont see daylight for up to 4 months at a time , we do it to keep our families safe
@@exnavy1969 could u talk some more about it I’m really interested and thinking about it my self
*hits joint*
I completed 19 deterrent patrols on US SSBNs and the similarities between the RN Tridents and US Tridents is remarkable. Spent many a fun day with UK crews in Kings Bay.
Duh...maybe because Trident's are of American design?
No they aren't. Aspects of missile command and control are though which stands to reason given the missiles are from the US. Rest of the submarine UK design.
No - missile bodies are US, not sure about launch tubes. Hill, propulsion, control etc are all British although I am sure some US stuff is in non - critical areas. Reactor is entirely British design although the US did help obliquely in the early days. Now there is much more information sharing. Warheads are all British including the plutonium.
@@derricklanders7260 The Americans were not very happy with us for redesigning the warhead arrangement, the control systems etc.
Awesome! Makes me proud to be British. More please loads more.
Craig Simons me too proud to be British!
Me too brother.

Respect to those servicemen, I couldn't imagine living without daylight, electric light only day or night let alone the risks involved. We'll done guys.
Money well spent.
Definitely money well spent. UK should go all put andake us a lot more powerful. We have the cash.
orbitaldildo almost every country is “broke”, there are very few countries without a budget deficit but we have the 5th largest economy in the world so... A superpower no, but then only the USA is, we are most certainly a global power though.
orbitaldildo about the economy or the global power?
@orbitaldildo wrong it isn't a super power but it isn't broke it is the 5th biggest economy and it's only rising when the coronavirus is gone
@orbitaldildo America is in a lot more debt than Britain is same with China and other countries
Why do countries do this? Because they get profit from it
Britain is the 5th biggest economy in the world any reliable source would say that so stop lying to yourself
I spent 13 years in the British Army. I always had a thing about going RN and aiming for submariner. I love subs. Wish I had done that to be honest.
1:14 - Oh dear, that chap looked rather embarrassed to have messed up putting his gas mask on.
Imagine the commander of the submarine watching this next to the guy who messed up
Nah it ain’t a problem a little screw up is fine unless it’s a unstable weapon anyways
Was not a gas mask was line fed breathing apparatus similar to Self contained breathing apparatus worn by firefighters
I can't wait for the new ones to be built!
Bulletproofcammy That be the Dreadnought class ballistic missile subs, 17,000 tons in weight
Yes building more war machines all while your country falls apart from the inside out, nothing like spending tax payers money on war and screw the people domestically
50 Ducks In A Hot Tub deterrents maintain stability and in stability a nation thrives, the UK has been cutting back on military spending as the world was becoming more stable now there’s been a significant ramp up in global tensions there must be a build up of our military, before WW2 appeasement was used at the last minute to make time for rearmament and only let the third reich gain more momentum and confidence since then it has been British foreign policy never to bury our heads in the sand again.
I’m joining the submarine service when I’m 22, so in 2027, when the submarines will nearly be in service. Hopefully, by the time I’ve qualified they’ll be ready.
@@henryfchapman3544 good lad
WHY would a reporter want to give up facts about this sub?! ANY REPORTER?! This machine is beyond awesome, beyond extraordinary . . . . . . AND there are his countrymen on board! God bless the United Kingdom for manning this sub!
It's just banter captain obvious
Every government around the world knows far more about all other countries subs than this brief report.
Respect to all submariners.
good to see a news outlet actually reporting truthfully on our armed forces for once, instead of just criticising something it's obvious they know nothing about
This deterrent force has helped keep the peace for over 40 years. Long may it continue.
*70 years. 🤔
Really? What kept the peace for Switzerland? Spain? Portugal? Sweden? New Zealand? None of those nations have Trident.

Wow I'm just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Mary I thought I'm the only one trading with her, She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self.

Who's this professional, everyone is talking about? I always see her post on top comment on every TH-cam video I watched.
I think I'm interested how can I get in touch with Mrs Mary?
Brilliant! Beautiful too! Not joking!! WHAT great looking equipment! England needs to produce a car similar to this!

+English Patriot If your comment is a statement, I agree. If your comment is a question, I do not consider myself qualified to choose one. I WOULD however hope it be made solely in the United Kingdom, by hands of the United Kingdom. 😀
It would be a real big car 🚙
Yeah right, UK as an automotive manufacturing nation? Too funny, my abs are killing me now!
I recognize this officer from the 2011 Perisher documentary. Glad to see he found a good command.
192 possible nukes is one hell of a deterrent.
It remains secret where position of submarine at all time at sea
The UK should just send flowers and pray that belligerent nations who have nuclear weapons do the same.Right?...WRONG!!! Strength and security through power!
No. Nice pray and pretty flowers must be send as well. But the recipients must also know. When it is needed. Nuclear tipped missiles can be send as well.
🤣😂🤣🤣 Amen to that pal
He's having fun being secretive!
Love the British subs .....badass looking
Better to have them and not need them, then need them and not have them.

She is vanguard class
A nuclear future as a defence in a regard as a generation of submarine.
Superb
“Heavily Guarded”…With an SA-80😂
and a laminated navy biff chit
At 0:23 a police boat,which is probably,an MOD police boat,with heavily-armed cops onboard.
to say "there are 17,000 nuclear weapons in the world today, and they represent an extreme threat to the UK", is perhaps a slightly melodramatic statement and a bit naive. During the cold war, which lasted about 44 years, no nuclear bomb was ever fired. I agree the UK needs submarines and ships to fire nuclear weapons to protect the UK, if needed, but . . . well. I said it above.
nuclear weapons will make both sides lose nobody ever wins in a nuclear war
God bless Global Britain :=).
With new ships, Vanguard class could be rebuilt into SSGNs, carrying special forces and mix of Scalp-Naval, Tomahawak and LRASM missiles. Pretty much like Ohio.
Their hulks are approaching end of life.
Is this supposed to be instead of scrapping them when the Dreadnought class gets going, cos I don’t think it’s a good idea to convert a Vanguard into a sort of ‘Super Astute’ class, primarily because they are quite old now
1:16 The fire drill confused me, was it the missile firing they were partaking or fire on board 😋
I nearly started serving on one of these. I passed the interview for submariner and then immediately said no lmao rather be on a boat
Lol sailors in submarine suffer with radiation 🤣🤣😂😂😀😀😂🤣🤣
No, they are kept in a secure part of the submarine preventing the men from getting any radiation
the captain is English dan. there is a documentary on him and others taking the perisher submarine captain course.
Send couple to moscow
Listened to similar interviews of American submariners, all gung ho, while the Brits very calm and quietly efficient.

But are we protected? or are the government protected?
3 months at sea! Submerged! Why? Coz they have scalelecric! Why not.
Thanks for keeping the bogie man away from uk....stay safe chaps
I think Lt. Woods ate one of the missiles.
Trident missiles are American ?
Heyy Now trident missiles are US made, the warheads and submarines are from the UK
@@barnabyg6808 The warheads are useless without the missile that carries them...
Derrick Landers in the same way that missiles are useless without the warhead. One is useless without the other
trident is the delivery system, american technology, we supply the war heads and submarines, as far as i know the americans maintain the
system for us
@@DaGabbaGangsta The missiles are maintained in the US and rotated from a common pool used by both navies. The UK uses its own warheads based, it is believed, on the physical properties of the American W76 warhead. The US uses w88 warheads as well. In the future both navies will use "independently developed" but strikingly similar warheads which America is calling W93. The reason why it is stressed they are independently developed is that both countries are signatories of the non-proliferation treaties and the two countries can't swap nuclear weapons technology. Wink, wink.
Heavily guarded lol - one bloke with an SA80 is then seen...
It’s also guarded by a battalion of Royal Marines
Cannot understand telling where these ar ffs
It’s pretty common knowledge that the subs are based at faslane
“This is the missile compartment”. Fun fact. By act of US Congress no British servicemen or contractor may touch or inspect the Trident missiles as they are classified and still the property of Lockheed Martin. Loading and unloading of missiles my only be carried out by US personnel at a US naval base.
Load of bollocks. We are allowed to do what we want with them.
Absolute rubbish they are loaded onto the boats in Scotland.
How do they get the warheads onto them so new the warheads are British - the trident D5 is a joint pooled asset
Don't get me wrong great programme, but why do they have to include the same old boring fire drill ever time?
The cold War is over guys
Doesn't stop Russia and China being a threat
UKs access card to the big boys club
Trident will probably have to be kept in Portsmouth after Scotland is Independent as the people in Scotland want rid of Trident.
Well... sure
Pray, why are they wearing 'breathing gear' inside the sub when commencing to launch the Trident II missles ?
MrHalvnir It was a fire drill 😂
First thing they do in a fire is crash stop ventilation to stop thesmoke spreading. We then start "sucking rubber". Breathing from the emergency breathing system. Happy dayz
I kinda wanted there to be a big red button saying "Break in an emergency". Naturally when I come to power this shall be remedied.
This isnt the "ultimate insurance policy" this is the "ultimate arson plot". I wonder who will collect from the actual proceeds of the arson.
Best get your vote in parliament done sooner then. I doubt we can build 4 new nuclear subs in just 4 years. We never do anything first time and on budget. So I estimate 2040 😂😂😂
I spent 17 on these boats before switching to hunters , it a good thing that we do 😳💥😜
lol sure u did
If the submarine was to be blown up, would the warheads go off?
No impossible - a lot of very complex things need to happen in a very precise sequence for a thermonuclear weapon to detonate.
I think that near to what a dirty bomb is, the nuclear detonation doesn't take place but the conventional explosion would release radioactive material.
Howard Stephens .... mainly from the nuclear reactor rather than the missile warheads
Well, it is conceivable but extremely unlikely. It’s more likely that the conventional explosives would go off out of sequence (or only partially) this wouldn’t cause a nuclear explosion but would spread the fissile material around a bit, not quite Hiroshima or Chernobyl but still bad
Здравствуйте, спасибо. Несколько минут назад прочитал сообщение "BBC" о намерении ввести 2-а корабля в Чёрное море : лучше бы лорды пили чай у себя дома. Флот USA вызывает уважение, достаточно сравнить лица экипажей. Извините
Мой отчим служил на предшественнике "Трайдента" (подводной лодки "Поларис"). Он сказал, что они никогда не считали российских подводников своими врагами - и уважали их, поскольку они выполняли ту же сложную работу, что и они. К сожалению, Великобритания, Франция, США и Россия нуждаются в таком оружии.
Я думаю, что многие британцы согласились бы с вашим комментарием о Черном море. США никогда не должны были финансировать государственный переворот на Украине и должны были позволить Украине сделать свой собственный выбор.... Это действительно угрожает миру, который установился в Европе после окончания Второй мировой войны, когда другие страны ввязываются в махинации на границе с Россией....
Владимир, пожалуйста, извините мои плохие навыки письма по-русски.
@@grantchallinor5263 Most Britons agree that Russia had no right to annex Crimea.
It doesn't matter if they agree of disagree with the direction Ukraine was going they aren't Ukraine's overlords anymore, nor are they the masters of the black sea.
ok so they have 12 war heads on each missile , does that mean , they drop , them of on the way??
the warheads are released as the missile comes back into orbit, warheads then hit different targets
They can manouvere during their ballistic trajectory in the upper atmosphere so they can hit different targets. Some are not warheads but decoy penetrators to fool anti-missile defences. The exact setup is needless to say stunningly secret.
@@davidcollins9258 interesting and that is one misile ?thanks mate
Send those missiles to China
Our Armed forces in UK are our heroes and Sturgeon wants rid of them.
What's the difference between vanguard and astute?
vanguard carry trident missiles, astute carry cruise missiles
blardmann I thought astute also carryed trident missiles?
A-random-stormtrooper nope just vanguard
Astute are attack subs, Vanguard are ballistic subs, our attack subs hunt their ballistic subs and their attack subs hunt our ballistic subs. It's cat and mouse except the mice are way bigger than the cats and very good at hiding.
One's a vanguard class. The other is not. Lol
Send those beauties to the Persian Gulf and park them off of Iran's coast........
That may be where they are.🤷🏻♂️
Why have them that close? They'd be just as effective in the Indian Ocean.
Now thats how a nutjob sounds like. It's good your job is to type useless comments behind your basement.
they aren't so secret when the world finds out what they are doing.
Yeh, But The World Doesn`t know where they are. Muppet.

Are trident submarines capable to protect her colonial African countries if that country were to be in a nuclear threat.
that submarine is ????
HMS Vigilant
4 nuclear warheads
that's wrong. just saying :)
It can be 16 if we wanted but we only put 8 with 5-6 Warheads and two with 1 for rouge nations and tactical uses, we load them on what the threat is based on currently.
Jake Hayes all these missiles can be shoot down during thier booster phase
This came up on my feed for some reason today and I’ve never been more scared of the future knowing that our joke of a PM Johnson has a role with the nuclear button .. and I lived near Devonport in the 1970,s and 80,s ..
Rule Brittania.
Imagine asking the exact same questions to an American submariner, all bullshit, bluster and gung-ho. The English, calm, efficent and professionally under stated.
I’m going to give the benefit of doubt to that sailor
I don’t think he understood the question fully
Oh believe me he did. He knows that if he does have to pull that the trigger his family etc are almost certainly already all dead and the UK hammered my nuclear bombs.
🏴☠️
They forgot to say that, they can't launch without US President's say so.
Well there can. Theres just an agreement in place for another 5 years.. only down side is Washington provide most of the key parts that make it a nuke... it would be mentle to think a country can not protect themselfs without permission from another country. Nukes are very expensive to keep. Especially when I can not see them ever been used..
Why does not the Queen have launch authority and only the Prime Minister? What happens if both are taken out?
onetruekeeper there is a letter on board the sub called the letter of last resort or something to that effect. and it is the last official act of HMG. in the event the prime minister is killed and contact cannot be made to mainland UK by the sub. the letter is opened and it states what the prime minister wants the captain to do with the sub. I believe the options available are to hand the sub to another nato country (most likely America) or use the weapon against whoever nuked Britain.
I assume this letter has the launch codes to enable missile launch at the Captain's discretion?
onetruekeeper not entirely sure the only person who will ever truly know is the prime minister as the letter is destroyed unopened when a new prime minister is elected
She doesn't need to. The crew swear allegiance to the Queen, her heirs etc and her appointment government. The PM acts with her authority therefore orders from him/her are lawful.
@@onetruekeeper418 they don’t have launch codes they are key based
Thank god for Trident, prevented terror attacks like the 7/7 bombings. . . oh wait! It didn't!
Anna Key it prevented the Cold War from ending the world. Be a little more grateful
No, things like Trident came close to ending the world.
what a stupid comment
Well what are they supposed to do, nuke London and kill everyone in it so we can kill the ONE guy that bombed London

Billions and billions on weaponry whilst we watch our NHS waste away and poverty rise on UK soil. It's my prayer that one day a multilateral disarmament occurs (If possible a unilateral. I don't care what other countries are doing). I just wonder what steps the current govt are making to work to this.
Billions on nuclear weapons to stop a major war is more important than the NHS in stance.
The world has a forced peace because of these weapons, if we didn't, the world would be fighting eachother every day of the week.
The money also comes from our Defence Budget, there's no point of having an NHS if there is no Britain. Also the NHS is underfunded but also over used especially by health tourists
There are ways to save billions in the NHS, but the Politically Correct culture won’t allow it.
No point in a NHS if there’s no one to use it😂
We spend 2% of the governments budget on all the armed forces (not just the nuclear weapons) the NHS budget is closer to 20% second only to the budget for the DWP
