Fast, stealthy, and attack submarine. Feast your eyes on America’s next generation Block V Virginia class nuclear fast-attack submarine. Its new upgrades will make it the most advanced in America’s subsurface fleet that is critical to protecting the western pacific region. Please Just don’t be like that sailor in the Indian Navy who accidentally left a hatch open and deadlined their 3 billion dollar sub for a year. Guys, There are easier ways to get out of your enlistment.
But The Pentagon recently slashed the production rate of the U.S Virginia class from two per year down to just one. This triggered major backlash within the halls of Congress. Because by the Navy’s own estimates, US shipyards need to produce at least two Virginia class attack subs per year to deter future threats. Today we’re going to find out what makes the Virgina class so deadly. What role it plays in the Navy’s broader strategy. And why the Pentagon is cutting this asset in half. I’m your average infantryman chris cappy lets do this thing!

Chinese Sting Ray drone is a nightmare for USA. The drone operated for 6 months non-stop underwater at the depth of 1000 meter depth during testing. It is undetectable.
A swarm of Chinese Sting Ray drones could be lurking just offshore. US navy has no idea that they are there. OMG.

Hey Mr Cappy, I work for a speaker company! Anechoic chambers are what sound engineers build to reduce or completely destroy an echo in a room. For us it's used to tune speakers using special microphones, that way we know we aren't getting any room feedback or standing waves. Also it took me a bit to understand what you were saying because I usually hear it pronounced AN-ECHO- ICK. Awesome video, this is a very interesting topic to me. Fun fact: Humans tend to feel uncomfortable in anechoic chambers because of the silence and when you talk it's just dead air.
lordlink1...
It's pronounced ana-kOHick.
The emphasis is on the long O sound.
40 years working in audio and studio production and design.
Anechoic chambers are used for testing audio as well as radio and radar devices. Anything that receives a radiated energy needs to be tested in a sterile environment produced by the chamber.
@@videodistrohaha interesting. I believe that I pronounce it the way you are also phonetically spelling it. When cappy says it I hear Anne-koh-ic.
Also I guess I only have 10 years of experience as an audio engineer. 😔

Meh - Doubt I'd be bothered

Nice report. For a ground pounder. Ex boat sailor here (SSBN626). It's called a boat due to Naval tradition. A boat is a small craft that is typically carried by a much larger craft called a ship. The first modern submarines the navy had in quantity in the early 1900s had such limited endurance and range they had to be transported by another ship lowered by crane from the ship then proceed into the combat zone and return. You had to have guts to get in one of those things. They were so flimsy you could die from a dozen different things while on a simple training mission. To honor them we still call submarines boats even though some of those boats are the size of WW2 aircraft carriers now.
Submarine captains insisting that it’s a boat realizing that they have to order rudder amidship
i heard from another channel (Not What You Think) that the distinction between boat and ship are:
when boat steers, it leans inward (opposite to the side it steers to)
when ship steers, it leans outward (toward the side it steers to)
though there was also an explanation in the same video regarding why are submarines called 'boats', but i forgot that part...
@@quoccuongtran724 I stand by my statement. I'm ex US Navy Submarine warfare Enlisted Qualified. I really don't care what a surface sailor says.
f water it makes no sense. There are sharks in my rivers and crocodiles in my ocean. I don't even trust the pools and puddles in Australia
same team man, agreed, puddle make literally zero sense. what's even their point?
The pools and puddles are for mosquito larvae, parasites and other nasties
Bull sharks in the golf courses and a few hundred KM up some rivers at times. I live in Adelaide - some of the biggest Great Whites in tne world down off our local beaches. A mate of mine went fishing in a 18 foot tinnie and a white pointer longer than the boat came up to them and had a bite at their prop. 'Nuff said.
They curtailed their fishing trip.
I haven't been in the sea since I was about 15 years old, whith the exception of amphibious training - in an M113.

The lack of highly trained and experienced personnel to build subs is a real problem for the US Navy. Hence you see actual TV ads touting the good life for these workers to entice young people to enter shipbuilding for such an exotic ships.
Me no spekie engish
I know that one! BuildSubmarines. It's a website
As a submariner for the past 4 months, i hate living on the ship and the work is so frustrating it’s hard not to make sound transients. Everything you see on TV about the life on a submarine is a lie. Not a single thing the tours, documentaries, official statements, or any other info released to the public about submarine life is true except for the statement, its a cramped and challenging work environment.
My favorite Mk48 ADCAP anecdote came from Aaron at Sub Brief. He described trying to evade one of those torpedoes in an exercise. They were throwing countermeasures that make noises you've never even heard of, and that weapon just doesn't care. He summarized by saying that if you're in the water an an ADCAP gets sent your way, you best just surface the ship and start calling your loved ones. It will track, it will find you, it will kill you.
What really interests me about sub warfare in a future peer / near peer conflict is that literally all of the tech has been untested in combat which is unique in the military.
We just don’t know how well enemy systems compare to ours but suffice to say Russian subs, as usual, are probably a greater threat to themselves than they are American boats.
I remember that video very well 😂😂
@@cruisinguy6024 as with anything, especially war, it isn't until the rubber actually hits the road that you truly know 'what' your military is capable of. eg. Russia's "two week special mission" in Ukraine, going into its third year, the Russians are still slogging it out, without any hope of a 'win' anytime soon. Every time Putin threatens "Nuclear annihilation" (9+) it shows how weak and feckless Putin, actual... is
I am one of the designers of the MK48 warhead. The ADCAP added some features which allow the computer to decide between sensor modes, and even if it guesses wrong, it will circle back to find another angle of attack. Once the warhead says it is close enough, you will be destroyed. The only hope for a Sub/Boat is to completely silence and sink without blowing. This cannot be done on any known boat. Surface ships have the same problem, in that they always have onboard machinery running at all times. Noise signatures of common vessels are mapped into the algorithms.
@@brunonikodemski2420 I worked on the Orion, in the early-mid 70's Our squadron did a lot of trials for the ADCAP torpedoes. We had a picture of a Gearing class destroyer having one go off right underneath it. "They" say the destroyer went down in under 90 seconds.
I wouldn't go to war on anything but a submarine!
Are you saying that the Virginia-class is silent, but deadly?
🎉🏆
Poof⚰️
And can sink 250m
It's not silent it just sounds like pfffffffffffff instead of bumba bumba bumba bumba
I'm a prairie boy and have never seen the ocean. Now I don't want to.

US Navy Admiral Chester Nimitz was from central Texas . Before joining the navy his only experience with water was a seasonal pond that turned into a mud hole in the dry season . The oceans are scary , and the most dangerous places for shark attacks are around Daytona Beach Florida . I served ten years in the US Navy , eight years sea duty on a DDG and a CG , and two years shore duty as an MP . The only death at sea I experienced was in the Mediterranean Sea . A Spanish Midshipman fell overboard from a Royal Spanish frigate, and we searched for him for three days before listing him as lost at sea . I was on watch in the Combat Information Center of a CG in the Persian Gulf when an F/A 18 crashed into the water . The pilot ejected and was recovered by a helo . One day our CG was sailing out Long Beach California when a deck seaman jumped overboard and tried to swim to shore . Our small boat crew picked him off the breakwater as he was about to drown . When I reported to my first ship , a DDG , I was assigned to work as a mess crank ( KP for soldiers ) . One day at sea we were disposing garbage off the stern of the ship . The side of the ship slipped below a huge wave and he was dragged overboard . Fortunately we grabbed him and pulled him to the deck . We were drenched with sea water . The Chief Cook told us to get into dry uniforms and get back to work . When I was off duty on my first ship I sometimes went to the Signal Bridge above the Conning Bridge to hang out with Signalman Scooby . During rough seas the bow would plunge into waves that sent a shower of seawater up to the Signal Bridge and drench us . We just laughed it off . The ocean winds dried our uniforms and left a crust of salt on us . There is a navy term for experienced sailors called crusty . Their uniform has seen salt water and been bleached in the sun . They have a tan on their face and their hair is lighter than natural . This applies to sailors of the surface fleet in general . Submarine sailors rarely see the ocean , daylight , or get wet . Bubbleheads usually look pale in complexion comparison to surface fleet sailors . Watch the German film Das Boot and consider how the crew appeared before their deployment and when they returned to their base .
Sucks for you not knowing how to swim 😢
It's more dangerous on a modern highway.
The silent service is my favorite part of the MAD doctrine.
Finally, my state got a ship named after it. USS Montana, Virginia Class fast attack. Also fun fact, certain classes of US nuclear subs can operate their reactors using natural circulation, making them even quieter due to the coolant pumps not needing to be ran.
As a fellow Montanan, we're representing quite well!
Big Sky Country.....all the way.....every day.....
By "natural circulation", I assume you mean that the physical cooling flow channels are designed such that the coolant will naturally flow around the circuit due to its heating/cooling cycle... and _not_ that they would ram seawater through the reactor 😅
@@mnxs Yes, the primary loop is designed to allow significant amounts of coolant to flow through the coolant channels using convection alone and carry enough heat to the steam generators to generate steam for power and answering low RPMs on the main engine. The S8G reactor is an example of a Navy reactor that does this.
Sorry you never got the battleship that would've had the same name.
As someone who served on 3 separate SSBNs (those ballistic subs you mentioned) I say, Come on in! The water's fine! Enjoyed the video! I always enjoy learning about what we are doing now, compared to what we were able to do when I made my living poking holes in the water.
You can’t trick me to go in the water ! There’s perfectly good land right here
@@Taskandpurpose I would like to have seen Montana.
@@Taskandpurpose :)
The Navy recruiter tried to talk me into enlisting as a sub reactor guy but F that. sometimes I regret going Army but it could definitely have been worse
@@Scroolewse I went to high school at a Tech-Vocational school that was downtown, across the street from the Federal building. I walked across the street, went to the Navy recruitment office and said "I want to learn electronics, and I want to ride submarines." He said "Boy, have I got a deal for you!" I became part of the "1974 Year Group". Seems there were a lot of us fools to do that in 1974. We were even offered special sea/shore rotation deals later. I spent about 12 years in, and had good and bad times, but overall, it was experiences I'm glad I had.
At 16:20, it's funny you say technically they are ships. They are. When announcements were made over the 1MC, the Con would use the word "ship", like "Rig ship for ultra-quiet."
But for the crew, we always referred to it as the "Boat".
ah, german influence still persists :D
So this is why the MLB Rickwood field game had all those "buildsubmarines" ads around the stadium.
Ah, the falcon war, very unfairly forgotten. Everyone knows about the emu war. Darn aussies are stealing our valor.

...that's what she said
I recall China rudely testing missiles back in 2010 that was upsetting many neighbors and a polite request by the US was ignored. 3 Ohio's were then simultaneously surfaced near China's coasts and all missile testing stopped...
They probably realized then that they needed the "underground great wall"
I was there.
China wouldn’t stop over submarines they know wouldn’t attack.

He was submerged.
For those of you who love this topic, I highly recommend reading the book blind man’s Bluff. The audiobook is usually available for free on places like hoopla and TH-cam although make sure you get the unabridged version. Some of the stories mentioned in that book are so unbelievable that I still can’t believe the federal government allowed it to be published. Particularly the story of how we tapped the undersea cables of the Russian military, submarines like this. And because most of those stories happened decades ago, I can’t imagine what the submarines are getting up to today. There is a reason it’s called the silent service.
I like how careful you were in the intro to avoid saying "Silent but Deadly".
Gotta appreciate the small detail of the pic of the manatee when saying what the active tiles could make the sub look like.
I've always said, "1.8 billion per sub, I'm worth it." 👍
I have a mate that is in the SBS (British equivalent to SEAL's) some of his stories about submarines. All i am going to say is "F" that for a game of soldiers!
Again, another great and well-researched video. I imagine it was a real pain in the ass finding all of those visual renderings of the different parts and the different sonars and electronics in the nose of sub.
Also, I have to give you credit for the great way you break down otherwise complex ideas muddled with military jargon and acronyms into something that even a non-military civvy like myself can follow along. And, as someone in the teaching “biz,” if you ever get tired of making videos, you’d make a hell of a history teacher 👨🏫
A submariner once informed me that there is only two types of ships, submarines and targets. That always stuck in my head.
Thanks for sharing Cappy
I love how you address this topic with such honesty.

The editor is doing an excellent job
You, and your writers, are superb. Late-night level comedy!!
Pretty sure it’s just the jangling keys and the drone sub escorts close in on either side, like raptors. The drone fleet may even form an acoustic mirage by strategically positioning them to cancel out certain sounds and magnify others.
What I like to say about the VA is that currently with Hydrophone technology, we are at it's limit in terms of the laws of physics. It's why we haven't made any successors to the TB-29 towed array that are "better" in the way of more sensitivity. and instead are trying to move it from Piezoelectric hydrophones to fiber optics while keeping the same effectiveness. To make the Towed Array more sensitive now, we basically just need to make it bigger. Similarly. The WAA ranging uses the fiber optics in the hull that was talked about in the video. This is like the Guppy III modifications back then in the 1950s where you have three passive sonar hydrophones that then can take the data and triangulate a distance. Kinda like how you can measure distance due to the binocular effect of your eyes but imagine having 3 eyes that are massive.
Currently, because of our learning moment from the Gotland class. We are blowing the world of hydrophones out of the war with the Large Aperture array which should actually not necessarily rely on sound but the movement of water to search for submarines using velocimetry. This means in theory. No matter how quiet you are, you can be visualized based off water movement and how water moves around your sub.
You don't actually see shapes of submarines on active sonar, you just get blips. At least that is how it was when I was a sonar operator from 1999-2012. The more important thing for subs to do to hide is keeping the frequencies from gearing and other machinery onboard from eminating outside the submarine. Most ships are passive the majority of the time, listening for these resonant frequencies.
Bro, you killed me with that kazoo kid, literally had me lol. 😆
4:57 Anechoic is prounced "an echo ic" after the word echo
I actually sailed with that SONAR operator you showed from the RCN!!

Virginia subs are for lovers. NTTAWT
🤣🤣🤣😘😘😘
My favorite submarine story: a guy I knew was on the 688s back in the eighties. While surfaced, they would tie a string horizontally from starboard to port inside the sub. When they got to operating depth the string would be bowing down in the middle by six inches.
Can confirm this happens
... and you string a coffee cup in the middle for weight. We did that all the time when we took our families with us to sea for a day on a dependents cruise. Watching how much the cup drops from the sea pressure is astounding.
You missed an entire class of ship. The VPM program and block V boats were built to replace the capacity of the 4 SSGN. 4 SSBN boats were converted to carry 154 tomahawk missiles each. As the life cycle of the 4 guided missile boats comes to an end the Navy needed to find away you put all those missiles onto another ship class. The Navy and Electric Boat have a long history of inserting conversion and modifications in current ships in production. It allows the Navy to have new capabilities while keeping the procurement time under 10-15 years. So basically the Navy wanted lots of tomahawk missiles right now and Block V /VPM was the solution.
For anyone who want's to know how a sub on sub battle would go, or even sub warfare, I would recommend playing Cold Waters. It has 3 campaigns set in 1968, 1984, and 2002 respectively. It is also *NOT* a game, it is a simulation. You *HAVE* to know what to do in order to succeed.
While I still think we should have a minimum of 14-16 CV battle groups. I still think that as proven without a doubt in WW2, manned submarines are a vital part of our defense against Chinese aggression.
Another 5 CV groups will cost at least $135 billion completely untested against what China would bring and are doubtful to be effective that close to China.
Great. First, I was worried about sharks, and now I gotta worry about subs.
And the sharks riding the subs, just biting and blasting everything they see.
Wait till you have to deal with doms
You ain't their food, Jeff.
Putting a form-fitting sonar in the bow is important. It is always good it the tip is more sensitive.
As a retired submariner, I approve this ad.
I miss the Seawolf class...
I can confirm that Down Periscope is the most realistic depiction of life as a submariner.
I second this
I was drinking a cup of coffee when you played the kazoo kid and about choked!😂😂😂😅😅😅😂😂😂😅😅😅😂 You are hilarious!!!!
Been watching for a long time. It's awesome to see my job covered in a video!
10:15 - “200Mw reactor.” - For perspective, the Columbia Generating Station, near my home in Eastern Washington State has an official capacity of just over 1,200 megawatts. So they’re rolling around with 1/6 of a full nuclear power plant in there.
higher...... real number
The Virginia class was designed using the 3D French software made by Dassault.
I also have trouble masking acoustic signatures.
Try hooking the Hydrophone up to the crapper.
I love learning about these things! Thanks for the information amd videos
From an old navy guy here. In the world's navies (principally the Royal Navy where 90% of naval traditions originate) a ship is defined as a vessel large enough to carry boats. A boat does not carry smaller boats. This is the actual origin of the distinction. Much has happened over time and huge, steel submarines might seem ship-like, standardized orders such as "prepare ship for sea" are used across the navy, but if a large vessel carries smaller boats, it is a ship. Submarines are therefore not ships, they are boats. This is another reason why civilian ships are much more often called "boats" by their crews who did not learn their traditions in the navy.
If you think that's the only correct definition then you haven't heard much. There are many and they are all equally valid traditions of naming things.
The US is usually the worst offender of fucking up perfectly good naming conventions like what a destroyers is.
Random thoughts hear.
#1. Submarines usually refer to subs as "boats".
#2. Submarines have been known to carry various types of boats for many years.
For what it's worth!
I was always told the difference between a ship and a boat was the center of gravity. If it is above the waterline, it is a boat and will lean towards a turn. If it is below, it is a ship and will lean away from a turn. That sort of makes sense when considering your definition and the size of displacement required to carry other boats. A sub on the other hand is likely capable of both depending on how it is surfaced.
But what about the subs that carry the seal team insertion subs? Do they count as ships in that case?
I mean, it would seem even the US Navy agrees that submarines are indeed ships; as noted in the video, they just choose to call them "boats" as that is the tradition, although it is not the most fitting.
I have a question: where the hell is our nuclear powered Jets and mobile suits?
It turns out the jets were dumb.
Nobody has an excuse on the mobile suits. With as much as the US throws at Lockheed, Boeing, and the like, I think it's bullshit that we don't have at least a Zaku by this point.
@@able34bravo37Don't worry my guy just wait till we got space colonies i doubt the space force doesn't have any zaku 1s by now.
@@tomwithatophat6457 maybe we need to talk to Elon about this.
@@able34bravo37 Why? You want a farting suit covered in Musk DNA that blows-up when you look at it funny?
Where-ever you can find a battlefield where the fact that the destruction of such a unit carries a high chance of acting as a dirty bomb isn't a big issue. So, like, "nowhere".
Nuke plants are incredibly heavy, expensive, and complex. Unless you can carry enough food for the human crew to be able to take advantage of the nuke's ability to take extremely-long breaks between refuels, there's not a whole lot of advantage. Hence the only nuclear-powered units being big ships and subs.
Is it just me, or are these episodes becoming more enjoyable?🤗 Cappy's humor is this channel special sauce 🍜
Long time Star Wars fan, but the only thing I enjoy about Disney Star Wars is the TH-cam videos mocking it.

best comment i read so far.
Super informative! Learned so much today! Thanks, cappy!
Great video!
Australia is donating billions to the US sub industry to get hold of some of these. On top of helping to build shipyards, it's going to cost us hundreds of billions over the next 20-30 years. We're hoping to get your second hand subs while we get the capability of building some over here.... despite not having a nuclear industry... First new sub probably won't be made until the 2040s. The thinking behind it was that we needed nuclear subs instead of diesel.
To do this we cancelled a deal with the French to change their nuclear into diesel and build them over here. Cost us billions to cancel the program and it really damaged relations between the two countries. You'd think if we wanted nuclear submarines we would have just asked them to stop trying to change the sub and instead help build the original nuclear one that was already working.
Purely coincidentally, the prime minister, Scott Morrison, who cancelled the deal left office and accepted a job in the US defense industry... with his good mate Mike Pompeo ... who said Morrison and he had each other on speed dial while in office.
Or , Austrialia could just upgrade to XXth century and order original, Nuclear Barracudas or conventional Scorpene, without crazy expensive and lengthy redesign.
Conventional submarines don't have the range and endurance that nuclear boats possess. They also have a significantly higher indiscretion rate making detection more likely. As for the Barracuda, unlike the US Virginia or UK Astute they require reactor refueling every 7 years or so. Australia does not have the requisite nuclear industry to facilitate that which means it would be beholden to the French to do that to maintain the subs. The current planned pathway whilst expensive is a much better way to go both in capability and reliability of that capability.
Bro is pumping out content
great job on the video keep up the great work
I like the naval episodes cause I get to hear Cappie say wudder like 40 times 😂
Never realised how big they are, wtf
The Russians build the largest subs. The Typhoon class had a swimming pool for its sailors (SPOILER ALERT: it was a bilge tank with nice tiling).
The Borei & Yasen classes, the 2 newest classes of Russian submarines, are also chunky bois.
However, their size isn't an asset. It's a weakness, & the Russians build their subs & the rockets in them large because they don't have the know-how to build compact AND dependable. The Russians can build compact or they can build dependable. They can't build both.
@8:08: For Bush's memoriable quote:
"Fool me once, shame on- shame on you.
Fool me tw-... you can't get fooled again."
The Hammerhead mine is a total game changer. Unlike traditional mines that would hit everything, Hammerhead's can be targeted, so you can lay minefields ahead of time. Then you just play a global game of battleship, except you've got a satellite aimed at their board
What do you think is blurred out on the sub @13:02 ??
Proud to be American best military on earth
😂😂😂
The issue is America doesn’t have enough shipyards!
The navy has a huge backlog of maintenance waiting to be done on active ships. They barely have any capacity to build new subs and ships. In a war economy, it’s going to be hard to fight without these types of facilities.
The last bit on Germany got me
There's at least one other sub-on-sub kill on record actually, though the one you cited is still the only one where both subs were submerged at the time.
The USS Tang was the most successful US sub of WW2. It was so successful in fact that the only thing that was able to sink it was its own torpedo circling back on itself.
Still think the Sea Wolf class is one of the best but probably the most expensive to make
Impressive advancements in the US Navy's next-gen attack submarines! These subs could be a major game-changer in the Asia-Pacific region. Great video!
regarding the Anechoic Plating/tiles, i have an idea to make it even better. carbon fire is very conductive. so if you got chopped carbon fiber strands and embedded them in the rubber layer in a random weave, would this work as a faraday cage as well as extra structural rigidity as a bonus. do they also help the top speed by golf ball effect? btw. hi from down under. can you lend us a Virginia or two before we need to learn mandarin.
