Shouldn't the title be "Tug didn't get it's ass out of the way?" This isn't the first time a ship was launched in that way and won't be the last. Bravo Zulu to the tugboat captain and the skill they displayed there.

It looks like they used it to tug the ship free and start it sliding into the water. They probably should have had a lot more rope and been a greater distance away though.

Takes time for lessons to be learned? The side launch of the ship christened "Leviathan"-but renamed "Great Eastern"- before the finally successful third attempt at launch clearly pointed out how carefully such maneuvers need to be planned. In the years since 1857 this seems to have been forgotten. At least the launch of LCS 31 did not, unlike that of Leviathan, cost any lives. BTW although the Navy calls this class "Littoral Combat Ship," I am told by some who have served on these ships that the sailors call them "Little Crappy Ships" These ships were designed with the idea of actually physically swapping out part of the ship to allow different roles (eg mine sweeping, anti-submarine and so forth) to save money. This has worked about as well as you might guess-not even as well as this botched launch. On the good side, the contractors who design, build and maintain these albatrosses continue to reap staggering profits even as these ships are being decommissioned as unfit for service. Good value, I suppose, as the first was commissioned "way back" in 2008.
After spending so much money, they could not afford another 20 yards of rope? Or was it: 'Yes, I have done this before, there will be no problems here. You people are clearly paranoid." Well it could have been: "Oops."
@@jmf5246 Not really. A large portion of the "bad design" and "not seaworthy" hype is due to comparing the LCS to a standard "blue water" US Navy warship. As with many things military, the problem comes in when you take a piece of equipment specifically designed for one purpose and attempt to use it for another. The LCS was never intended for deployment in a standard at-sea combat environment. The intended function of the class is to get up close and personal in shallow coastal (littoral) waters where a Frigate cannot operate due to draft and a Patrol Boat does not have the required capabilities. The Freedom class has a draft of about 14 feet. The latest frigate under construction has a draft of 18 feet, the Perry-Class has a 22 foot draft. As far as combat effectiveness, pretty much everything is modular and can be swapped out in hours, even the berthing areas. What the mission requirements are determines what modules will be installed. Instead of a compromise, the configuration can be specifically tailored for the mission. Crew berthing can be configured for anything from the base crew of 50 up to around 100. Need a minesweeper, load the modules. Need support for a SEAL team, load the modules. Need a SigInt vessel, load the modules. Need to "show the flag" in a bunch of foreign ports, leave the combat modules at home. There were a few trials done that indicated the addition of anti-aircraft missiles would present a major problem for an adversary, as the small size, low radar cross-section, and the ability to travel at 47 knots make it extremely difficult to engage by enemy aircraft. Ditto for enemy seaborne platforms. The shallow draft enables the vessel to hide in locations where a warship would not generally be found.
@@kevincrosby1760 Wrong again shill "operating restrictions will limit the service's current LCS fleet to a top speed of 34 knots rather than the normal 40-plus knots" Also they decommission them as fast as they can as they do not work and cannot be fixed.
@@fredsalter1915 I don’t know if it’s shameful. Embarrassing yes. But shameful? Maybe actually considering the dent they put in the ship is going to cost a million to repair.
The harbor master dropped the ship after the tug captain radio'd that he was still getting set. The opposite tug hadnt even moved into position either. Hard to blame the crew when they did everything right and an antsy shore crew failed to listen or follow basic safety checks for laying a ship.
Can’t win a World Series, can’t make it to a Super Bowl…what did you THINK was going to happen when you launched this warship? This is the modern version of the ‘Vasa’ warship.
That is the democratic party's way of doing everything. If it is going good, change it without thinking about safety and without thinking about additional costs associated with the change.
From these views, if there was contact, it would have been negligible on the U.S.S. Cleveland. The Tug's bow did raise a bit though. But hey, they're designed to handle a bit of direct contact with ships. I'd give this a 1/10 damage assessment. 😂That crewman wasn't though! 🤕 /s
I work on these ships and seen the damage, I think you'd be amazed lol 3 bent frames 10 bent longitudinal, bent deck, 2ft hole or crack, bent sideshell for steel section 2 parts, for aluminum section 1 part, damaged ballistic material on inside, I heard the tug is in drydock now cuz of the whole back end bent down and cracked and was leaking, millions of dollars in damage, cause was miscommunication by marinette marine and tug boats and a guy that launches boat had a itchy trigger finger
@@homie6166 what's " ballistic" material? all these aluminum boats being built for billions are about as tough as a beer can.. we should be building these things to T-bone Chinese or Russian ship to the bottom

Look, I don't know the first thing about launching big ships but is this really a smart way to go about it? I mean, it looks like something that Beavis and Butthead would come up with.
