If this was an apocalypse boat build (which this minesweeper spec hull and fittings keeps inspiring for me), you’d keep the central prop shaft for a big back up old fully mechanical diesel engine. In general, my mind is blown by all this. I’m also Australian. I can’t imagine how much insane fun I would have building this boat out. And also can’t believe I found this channel with only 8k subs. Onwards and upwards, I’m here for the ride. (P.S. if it were me, I can see the benefit of slicing the back off, for the swim platform, but I’d not stuff with the hull shape (vertical sides). The hull itself is what makes these so amazing to me, I’d not want to alter it unless the new shape and build was guaranteed to be better handling and built to the same incredible spec…. But then it’s your ride and profession so that’s just like my opinion. Carey on!)
Very impressed by your knowledge, ability to explain in easily understandable terms and your vision for the vessel. I know less than nothing nautical and am really looking forward to following your progress over the next year or so.
haha thank you for the reply, I have some great news for you, this will take definitely longer then finishing by next year so keep following us and lets see what we can make out off them😂😂😂
at 12:40, im not sure what they used or major vessels but i know it has a similar effect as Argonite. Depleting all oxygen from a room, mainly used in engine spaces or generator rooms for extinguishing fires quickly. Deadly stuff tho..... especially without correct training. Great work tho guys :)
The "copper" pipe might be cupro nickel which is highly corrosion resistant and like everything else non magnetic. Nice insight into the build of the vessel, thanks.
thanks for the info, I will make work of it to figure out what material it is, super interesting right, sooo many goodies on board😂😂😂. keep on watching, way more to come.
@@TheOneironautLife lots of broze parts too, no expense spared, like in aviation, good quality steel, stainless as we see already, possibly some titaniam or tunstan parts, i get a lot of that, doesn't rust, but seems very heavy
Working closely with the American Navy it means most equipment on an Australian ship will be cross compatible being able to support each other in the event of a break down in an emergency situation.
yes they were indeed part of the airbank, the airbank that was in there had as far as I can see at least 8 tanks, very nice right, there is a lot more to see, keep on following the candy store walk around 😂😂😂
I am indeed looking into that. at first I wanted to leave them where they are but now I changed my mind and will move them backwards. it would be indeed great to re use, time will tell I guess😂😂😂
its a funny thing when it comes to military equipment, the amount of good quality materials used (the expense) and when you compare to standard marine applications, lesser quality materials are used - so then you compare the lifespan of the equipment - your standard civilian vessel you want to last for years (but it won't) where as something military has a relative short service life before it needs upgrading i know many may feel, such a waste, but its still worth a lot when it comes to scrapping (as i do with aviation equipment) many civilian vessels won't get as much value from the scrap i guess the fire suppression systems possibly used similar to aviation with Halon gases now being phased out (if not been phased out) i wonder if you might be able to use some of the existing lines and connectors since they are good quality, would you be replacing with Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide extinguishers? NAF S 125, 227 are electronically safe inert gases
thanks for all the info, I am looking into fire systems as we speak Novec1230 and HFC 227 EA are on my list but things might change again. I think you have to follow the channel to see where we end up with😂😂😂, will be indeed a good money saving if we can use the old nozzles.
@@TheOneironautLife loving the plans, conversions are right up my street, military stuff (as you are showing us) is built to last, so indeed why waste it when its that good
With the amount of hydraulics on this ship and the thrusters were electric over hydraulic is there a chance the "Air tanks" are Hydraulic accumulators?
at first we wanted to keep them where they were, then move, then keep and now, since 2 days we're 1000% convinced to move😂😂😂. Sounds like we change our minds like the weather but that's how things go with a rebuild I guess😂😂😂, keep on following and let's see where they end up hey😂😂
I wonder if anybody from the PH Navy/AFP/DND ever inquired if you guys would sell the Mine Hunters/Sweepers to them... The PN could certainly use them for sure!
We have a contract and are not allowed to re sell, at least not without contacting the navy. there is a lottt to be done to use them as navy vessels again though. Keep on watching and you will see the state of the rest of the vessels soon👍👍👍
as part of the conditions of sale these would not be allowed to sold to anyone else for military use with the express permission of the AUS govt. Even if a govt wanted 2 minesweepers, they would be better off buy the last 2 that were retired dec of last year
yeb understood although i dont think a government cares about thinner cables😂😂😂. the explanation they gave here was that the only reason doing that was if they had exercise with US navy that they were also on 60hz. For electric machines ( vacuum cleaners, cooking, pumps etc) it's tricky to buy 60hz in Australia though.
red lights are used to allow you to not be blinded by the white light at night when you go out onto the upper deck. they also limit how far the light can be seen at night from other ships.
thanks for sharing, in the control rooms ( will show in a later video) they have also blue lights. they told us at the shipyard that they have done research and blue was apparently even better. all very interesting stuff right.👍👍👍

You’ve got a great idea there… we’ll need to give it some thought! 😉 Love that you're here for the ride. Thanks for the subscibe! Enjoy!

Yep, we definitely have to do some more homework on that. Thanks for the message of appreciation. Hope you'll keep watching and subscribe!

I see both ships requiring a lot of reengineering for conversion and costs!
Shhhhhhhh, this is true... we don't mind the work but try not to think too hard about the costs 😂
Your awesome be safe out there
thank you🙏🙏
Working closely with the American Navy it means most equipment on an Australian ship will be cross compatible being able to support each other in the event of a break down in an emergency situation.
yes very interesting, that was indeed the explanation I got as well🙏🙏🙏
The 2 compressed air bottles were used to fill dive tanks without having to run compressors.
yes they were indeed part of the airbank, the airbank that was in there had as far as I can see at least 8 tanks, very nice right, there is a lot more to see, keep on following the candy store walk around 😂😂😂
Thank you for a very interesting tour. Please try to keep light away from direct sight of camera as it's quite blinding.
Yep! Totally agree, will try to keep the light under control in the future, hahaha 😂
Are you able to use the existing thruster beds for your new thrusters?
I am indeed looking into that. at first I wanted to leave them where they are but now I changed my mind and will move them backwards. it would be indeed great to re use, time will tell I guess😂😂😂

from what I can see is that they were all connected to the dive tank filling station, so no I don't think so. 🙏👍
What about the plan to move the trusthers more to the stern? To complicated?

Very interesting..but to short.
Next time we will do a longer one, completely new on this and we try to figure out the sweetspot😂😂😂
60 hrz, higher voltage(440V), lower amps. this means thinner electrical cabels.
yeb understood although i dont think a government cares about thinner cables😂😂😂. the explanation they gave here was that the only reason doing that was if they had exercise with US navy that they were also on 60hz. For electric machines ( vacuum cleaners, cooking, pumps etc) it's tricky to buy 60hz in Australia though.
60hz is the NATO standard for ships. Australia aren't NATO but are an operational partner.
The Radar, transceivers, magnetometers, and some other sensitive equipment would be 60 Hz. if sourced from US.
Ah! This makes more sense @ronanellison8875 - thanks for sharing!
That ship would have cost mega $$$$$ to build 😊
tell me about it, crazzzzyyy stuff. keep on following because I will show you many more goodies 😂😂😂
Nearly every merchant ship in the world is 60hz 220v
yes interesting, I start to figure that, although it still doesn't makes sense to me😂😂😂.
