"Who's the guy waffling in the corner?" Lmao. Your humor cracks me up man! Can't wait for the party!lol
I know! Forget about the waffle guy in the corner. The idiot babbling on the entire screen at the beginning is going on so much. Don't know what he's about!😉
Regarding the speed of submarines. First, NOBODY's going to tell you. Second, the assumption should be that they move as fast as they can while being a nightmare to detect. Defensive submarines for a battle-group can likely sustain the speed of the entire group, but as soon as that group enters its operational area, accompanying submarines will essentially become holes in the water while they listen for adversarial ships and submarines.
Speed is the main reason why US Navy attack subs are nuclear as it lets them keep up with the carrier group.
Can confirm holes in water. -ET1(SS)
Absolutely. No one seems to realize that carrier strike groups almost always have attack submarines in the group
Speeds stated in this video are extremely inaccurate. The speeds are significantly higher.
Yup
Could you imagine what would happen to the poor bastard that sunk a U.S. carrier, you know what happened to Iran's navy when they hit a U.S. ship with a mine in the 80's.
We'd make the response to Pearl Harbor look like an April fools joke
or when the Bismarck sunk the Hood
Yeah, the US government has a slight tendency to go bug-fuck crazy and over-react to threats. Actually SINKING a Nimitz class carrier? Yeah, we'd grossly over-react to punish the bad guys for that one.
The Globe would need a update.
Simply a proportional response
>minions
Our guys refer to it as "angry R2-D2".
I really wish they didn't have to go with the uniform grey paint and were allowed to deck them out like pilots got to do with their planes in WWII
To put it in perspective, an Iowa class battleship from WWII cost $100 million or $1.7 billion accounting for inflation, and the USS Gerald R Ford cost a whopping $13 billion.
If someone actually damaged a carrier, let alone sunk one, the US wouldn't take that well. Temper temper comes to mind
She’s up to 18 billion now believe it or not
Temper temper seems a bit mild. I think "HULK SMASH!" might be more in line with the US reaction.
We would be turning a desert nation to glass, an island nation to a coral reef, a mountain nation into a crater, and anything in between to ash. If you don’t want to learn what the sun tastes like, DONT TOUCH THE BOATS
The small flat top in between the aircraft carriers is probably an Amphibious assault ship. That carries marine helicopters and other VSTOL aircraft. That type of ship is sometimes referred to as a Gatorfreighter.
AT1 AW Robert McDonnel USN Retired
Sad part it they are as big if not bigger then other countries carriers.
That’s what I thought. My uncle was on the America and when I visited him at Virginia Beach in the 80s I got a tour of the wasp(lhd-1) a couple months before it was commissioned. It’s a little bigger than the carrier I’ve been on many many many times, uss lexington(cv-16), which was the training carrier stationed at nas Pensacola for my childhood before it was replaced by the kitty hawk which Pensacola bay was too small for. 😭
Gatorfreighter! Ha. It also sounds like the name of a big Transformer robot with smaller robots assigned to it.
“Decepticons incoming. Gatorfreighter, move to intercept!”
To answer your question @ 8:50 1 Nimitz class (near) 1 Ford Class (far) 1 LHA (center) 2 Ticonderoga class cruises w/ 120 VLS launchers 2 MK 54, 5 "American inch" guns 4 MK 48 torpedo launchers ( CG's) 6 Arleigh Burke class Destroyers w/ 60 VLS launchers 1 MK 54, 5 "American inch" guns 2 MK 48 torpedo launchers all link together WIFI to form a protection dome of over 2 mils around the CVN's
The F22 is almost 30 years old and still dominates the sky. Now think about what they could have cooked up since then that you don't even know about yet.
I heard they still operated the F-117 long after it was replaced because it was so good and its even older than the F22. Also, cant sell either of them. Aliens probably 😂
Your video commentary always makes me giggle 😂 you seem so geeked and genuinely excited by all the carriers!
Dude that's madness that it's like there are no penalties for the size of the ship. Build a massive floating city? Sure. Put enough armor on it to resist mines and torpedoes? Sure. Hey while we're at it let's make it fast enough to just drive away from attacking submarines. Sure.
Christ on a bike! I'm now using that for everything 😂
I’ll never get the people who click on a reaction video and then get upset when the person reacts or gives insight like come on… if you wanna watch the un-interrupted video, go watch that one, you goober.
Or to put it simpler, my brother in Christ you clicked on an Original Human video. You CANNOT be that shocked when Original Human speaks
I know! One would think that when clicking on a reaction video ONE WOULD EXPECT A REACTION TO THE VIDEO!!!!
And to give this commenter credit (sorry, I don't remember his name) HE LINKS THE ORIGINAL VIDEO every time! And he mentions that the original video is linked to his!
Who’s the bloke in the corner carrying on???
As a Brit I thought you’d call it a Dalek instead of a Minion
Boy this IS an old one. The US fields 12 mainline Battle Carriers and one Super Carrier, the Flagship of the Fleet the Gerald R Ford.
I'll tell you now that, if someone ever sank one of our carriers, they would find out why you don't touch our biggest boats in the most horrific way. The public would be supportive of this as well. Americans would be reunited once again against a common enemy.
Who's the guy in the corner who keeps on talking? Lol😂
That's known as "waffling".
I love your content and commentary. Your humor as well. Keep on cracking on my friend. Looking forward to 700 k celebration.
The newest carriers also have catapults that utilize magnets to launch aircraft instead of the traditional steam catapults
When you see a fleet like that from the USA. It’s really not entirely what you see you should be afraid of. It’s what you can’t lurking below the surface that will really ruin your day.
BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDS FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW, NEW SUBSCRIBER
Every inch of an aircraft carrier is designed to support crew and aircraft. Part of the carrier group are several supply ships whose job it is to supply/ refuel the other ships as necessary.
14:45 Probably thinking about the whole "Any sensor. Any decider. Any shooter." plan. Basically, just leveraging any sensor: someone with eyes on the ground, air, etc. Any decider: any one in command who can authorize a strike. And any shooter: anything with a weapon that can hit the target. So instead of a "kill chain" it's a "kill web." Apparently we were practicing this with the UK, Canda, Australia, France, Japan, and New Zealand not too long ago in the Mojave.
These carriers are FAST. During 9/11, the USS Enterprise was steaming back home from the Indian Ocean. Once the Captain realized America was under attacked, her turned the ship around, without waiting to hear from Washington, and out ran her escorts. Two weeks later, they were flying sorties into Afghanistan.
Did you know UK started with Imperial System?
then we switched, and thank god, it's so much simpler
I always have enjoyed it when our military is viewed by military members from other countries. I have learned a lot that way, as well as taught some. That is how we all improve.
But seriously, who’s the guy in the corner? 😂 Love your content, keep it going.
Just found you, binged like 10 videos and subbed. Keep up the great work. Love the banter. While I never served, my grandfathers and great-grandfathers did (Vietnam, Korea, and WWII. U.S. Army Air Corps/Air Force B-17 Pilot, U.S. Airborne/Green Beret, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and their stories were amazing.
Another channel I watch might have something to say about the "impossibility" of sinking an American carrier. Check out some of Sub Briefs stuff. Ex-U.S. Navy Submariner. Great info on Naval news and capabilities.
😂😂" my little minions "
I was watching through the video and by #3 it popped into my head. I think the fifth thing you might have included would be Satellites, but that might fall into the Radar category. Continuing on...
I'd say it's more like Alexa. Alexa have himars down this target.
Ohhh yes, that's why we took a "target photo" of the USS Enterprise through the telescope of U24 in 2001 (an old diesel boat type 206A)
But I bet you could not have sunk it. Or even put it out of war-fighting condition. Maybe put some small holes in the side.
And if you had launched at them... how good were your chances of getting away before they returned the favor?
@@markpukey8 you know, modern torpedos dont punch " Holes" in ships anymore ?! they´ll break the "Spine" of it and the longer the ship, the easier it is to break in the middle!!
The DM2A4 "Seehecht" is fiber optic guided and has a range of over 30 miles
@@axelk4921 OK, so how exactly does this magic spine breaking happen? And why hasn't anyone told the US Navy about it?
I'm pretty sure we keep building these carriers because that "spine breaking" risk is acceptable to them. And survivable.
Perfect example was during Desert Storm in the Iraq War Rockies didn't know about number one or stealth Fighters and they didn't know our tanks could navigate an open desert because we had GPS for targeting targeting weapons and also for navigation
The ship that is in between the two big carriers is actually a carrier. It's a much smaller carrier, and it is used as an amphibious landing craft that can deploy tanks and troops.
Conventional submarines have maximum submerged speeds of 16 to 24 knots, and very low acoustic signatures. Their maximum speed is much lower than that of nuclear-propelled submarines. They also have very short endurance at maximum speed. Top seed of a nuclear powered submarine is secret but its believed to be in excess of 30 knots. They would have to have capability of at least 35 knots to be able to be part of a carrier strike group. A WW II subs top speed was 8 knots submerged but could only maintain that speed for 16 hours. If the reduced speed to 2 knots, they could remain submerged for 48 hours before surfacing to recharge its batteries.
Habitual Linecrosser is an expert in Air-defense in the US Army and he has a video on the Agis
Who's the guy in the corner? Does he have a channel where I can see more of his reactions?
the thing is that you cant physically sink them they have so many sealed compartments that theyre basically styrofoam but made out of steel. like they spent 6 mo cutting holes in one from the 60s to sink it and that was before CAD. now buring down to the water line is a real concern, the big loss would be all those very specialized people. And subs can cruse at 35+ knots as far as the navys ever told, so take that for what it is.
I like the fact that the US Navy "admits" their ships and subs can do certain speeds. But they never, ever state "This is the max speed". It's good to have your opponents guessing.
As a side observation, both Russia and China brag about their maximum capabilities and how much they overwhelm US capabilities. The US never, NEVER EVER, discloses our max capabilities. And in those cases where we really test our hardware (thinking of Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missiles in Ukraine here)... theirs sucks and ours outperforms what was said (Those shiny new Kinzhal's were shot down by 20 year old PATRIOT missile batteries and older generation ammo). I'll leave to the readers to decide which is a smarter strategy.
@@markpukey8 gotta keep them on their toes. Something else to consider is when they disclose the operating speeds they never disclose where the “throttle” is set to either haha
@@longtallzach9 i knew someone who served on a carrier and he told me that the speed dial thing is actually not even labeled all the way so no one can guess what the real max speed it.
And I'm sure it's only like 5-10 knots above what we already know, but in the real world that means the ship could be FIFTY MILES away from where you thought was the furthest it could move in just a couple of hours. It's a big ocean, there's lots of room to get lost in if you need to.
@@markpukey8 As someone who was a helmsman aboard a super carrier, 30 knots is the "official" top speed. The bigger issue is I dont think anyone has been allowed to see just how fast they can actually go. Im not even sure if Im allowed to say how fast I have personally seen it get up to.
Another part is since its nuclear, you can just set it on "cruise control" and go at roughly the same speed for decades, never stopping. it gets really hard to keep track of something that never has to stop.
Unless it is a German submarine, in recent years it has repeatedly managed to slip through all defences during exercises😂
MORE CORNER GUY! He Waffles, and I LOVE WAFFLES! Have him sit and comment with you a couple times!
There's nearly three times the amount of sailors on board an aircraft carrier than there were in my town growing up in the swamps of Texas.
The submarine I served on....had three (3) decks...three....
You had a THREE STORY BUILDING UNDERWATER!!!! Don't sell that amazing feat short my friend! You did it underwater and moving {secret} knots of speed!
Swedish, french and german submarine.
"Are you sure about that?"
Lol. Junk! Swedes maybe. But highly doubful.
How about the Swede Sub that “sank” one in a war game a while back?
Seahawks with sonobuoy mines “yes. We are sure”
This is the comment I was looking for.
@@theepicgerman6153 The CBG was operating with one arm tied behind their back, with a "hangover"....
Other ships do not get resources from a carrier. They usually have a supply shop for resupply
Submarine(s)? Ohhhh yeah!
It's not a minion, that's R2FU
This video doesn't touch on one of the most important defensive aspects: the offense.
The enemy has a "kill chain" that is required to attack a carrier that includes among other things the need for intelligence, communications, locating, targeting, and track to target guidance. Break anyone of those and it becomes nearly impossible to sink a carrier. Much of how the US military would go about doing that is classified but some of the tactics have appeared in open publications including speeches made by Admirals.
After all, the best defense is to prevent the enemy from using its offense effectively.
They are nearly impossible to sink because they are so gods damned small and fast
Interesting that they don't really talk about the survivability of carriers. They're so big, and have so many compartments, that even if you blow a hole in the side, they don't sink. They are really, really hard to sink!
He mentions this video is from 2019, and 2024 is solidly in the age of Drones. But I don't imagine a drone swarm could be large enough to really sink one. Sea drones tend to have limited range so they can't get to the carrier 100 miles off shore. Not without someone noticing them in plenty of time to react. Even if 3 or 4 drones managed to hit and blow up on the carrier, it is unlikely they could do enough damage to sink it. Just make it sail home for repairs... the day after 3 other carriers show up to take its place.
A carrier will not outrun a sub and once it gets a lock it doesn't need to keep chasing the carrier because the torpedo will catch it. However the torp wont sink it unless you get a dozen direct hits.
The deck is still only roughly ab .016 km from being .1 km in height or 100 meters. Although don’t quote me on that bc I only speak in freedom units 😅
combined arms warfare Germans may have invented it but the USA has superbly refined it to its perfection today. Love the vid and commentary keep em coming brother
The SeaWolf class nuclear attack sub used by the us can go like 35knots iirc which is 40ish mph
If a submarine goes at flank speed, it's going to be easily heard by the escorts and surrounded and sunk before it could engage
Unless it's a Swedish, Gotland submarine 😂
@@hansramstrom3635 American aircrafts are always followed buy american subs. Your Gotland would get her shot in but would be hunted down
Lol all this integration of Technology talk reminds me a little little movie I watched called "Terminator" and it's computing and integrated system called "SkyNet". Makes one think
Didn't these guys watch Battlestar Galactica? You don't want your ships networked, EVER!
"How fast do submarine's go?"
Fair question. I think the fair answer is "If they move fast enough to chase down a carrier... they are loud enough for the carrier and it's anti-submarine escorts to eat them for breakfast."
When you are a sub, it's not about racing, it's about sneaking. And you're not a sneaky sub when you are racing along at 30+ mph.
The replacement for the Arleigh Burke-class are being replaced there going to be bigger then the late WW2 cruiser thay will be massive further defending carriers
If I'm not wrong I think the Swedish Gotland Class Submarine has sunken American Carriers during battle exercise and gotten away with it 😀never getting caught!
Don't touch my boats!!!!
250 ft = a 25 story building
ya after Iran put mines in international waters in the 80's (in violation of international law and then sued America because we kicked there ass because one of our ships hit one of those mines) America checks EVERYWHERE for potential threats before allow such an asset to enter the area.
3 cv's, 2 large deck CV's, and a LHP/Helo cv.
I’m finally somewhat early to one of your videos! I agree with the boomers that some commentary is just straight up annoying because it’s just rambling, but you offer such an interesting perspective with your commentary.
Side note: think about how strong the US navy is with their carrier groups. Other nations have carriers that are powerful but there isn’t a single country that has proven that they can be a sustained force on the other side of the planet and conduct battle against a nation fighting on their home shores. They can sustain the navy and army/marines while being more powerful than other nations navies who don’t have to support anyone else.
This is shown by just how powerful the US was in WW2 where they could invade three countries on opposite sides of the planet.
…but one kaiju and it’s all over!
a german Aircraft Carrier? Bro, we have like 5 Jets that can fly. 💀🤣
Todays submarine can do 35 knots so the sub is faster the carrier is 30 knots and just so you are aware one knot is 1.151 miles an hour
we don't resupply from carriers, We have tenders for that
Dont forget MSC ships.
Normally, yes. However they can and do resupply other ships as the missions parameters require. Sometimes you cant get a fuel shipment out to that one DDG, but the carrier has a few million gallons its not planning on using any time soon. I've done it personally aboard CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln.
@@nerocaesar9249 I know, I was on the A.W. Radford... JP5 is all you really get from then.
The other part of us military is we been in war pretty much since the country was founded .
The defense funding is what separates the US from every other country, if you have the ability to spend billions on failed projects, what results is the best equipment and expanding technology is pushed faster then most countries with smaller military budgets. Allies of the US can purchase military equipment without any R&D costs. All we know is build costs of military equipment but the development costs would be interesting if not mind boggling.
And consider the strategic value of that massive spending. If the US suddenly said we had invented a teleportation device to deliver missiles on target... our enemies WOULD HAVE TO spend money trying to figure out a defense against teleported missiles! We have successfully demonstrated so many world changing technologies in the past, and we have so much money to spend, that no one can afford NOT TO try and counter whatever we say we have.
That much spending is criminal. It's shocking. It distorts our entire economy. And at the same time, it's a major strategic weapon in our arsenal.
I love your laugh!!!
One to two attack submarines in a carrier battle group.
DON’T TOUCH OUR BOATS!!!!
I'm not sure the differences in communication between the iPhone and Samsung phone is a good comparison. With my Android phone I can print from a printer, tune into Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, to a speaker, other phones, my computer, my smart home device and the car. They're all made by different manufacturers yet there's a common technology in between which connects them, whether by WiFi or Bluetooth. I don't see why the iPhone would have such a major advantage in that regard.
you should see what the US Gov. did to the USS. Nevada aircraft carrier. Nukes don't have shit on them... lol
Your comment about the troubling countries being on your doorstep is another advantage the US has over other countries. Almost all military strat is based around defense of the homeland and incursions to nearby countries that might start something.
The US is so far away that it has minimal worry about the homeland so our military strat is designed to go anywhere in the world and fight on 2 fronts at the same time. UK has is the 2nd best navy and has 2 carriers. US is at 11 now.
I love these videos so much! Thank you for sharing
I think I am probably a boomer at this point (42), but I live on YT.
Lad, if you were born in 1982 you are GenX, maybe an "old Millennial". The borders are slippery. But you ain't a Boomer. The last of them were born in 1964 or 65 depending on who you ask.
Hey man , I like my stone age units of measure
Saw your face when the Gundam appeared. What, you didn't know we had those now? 😂
This is a very old clip ?
You should check out Helldivers 2 as a game to play.
All it takes is one DF21D or Df26
Btw best way to describe the integrated system is like a hive mind. If one weapons platform is aware of you THEY ALL ARE and the thing that sees you can direct attacks from those that cant
You had me at curry and naan bread. My guy
I think you a Star Trek Borg Hive-Mind or like the Trade Federation from SW Phantom Menace
We are living at times when nation without fleet at all sinks ships corvette-frigate size several times in a month. So who knows what might happen.
True. Ukraine is performing fantastically against the stupid Russians. But they are all in a tiny pond compared to the open ocean. It changes the strategic challenge.
And I'll add that it is REALLY REALLY unlikely that the US would ever allow a carrier into the Black Sea! Exactly because it's too small and it eliminates several of the carrier's advantages when on the open sea.
Side note carriers in middle is a helicopter carrier likĺey a marine ship
Unsinkable ? well say the to the skippers on USA Ronald Regan aircraft carrier, the one that got sunk 5 times in simulated fight vs the svedish MS Gotland submarine :)
It got sunk, or it got HIT. Big difference when you're talking about a 1000+ foot carrier.
I've heard the same stories about the Gotland getting in some hits in war games. I don't know that anyone said it survived the experience OR actually forced the Reagan out of service.
It scored several hits that would have sink it, 5 times it played the same game
@@markpukey8 the thing is, when the US does war games we intentionally have severe limitations placed on us. In the example given it would be things like "no using off ship/other ship sensors or assets, no using sensors specifically made to find submarines, and you are not allowed to engage unless you have visual confirmation on A SUBMARINE."
the US trains under "worst case scenario" conditions so when those "worst cases" happen, we can confidently deal with it, and when its just "less than average" conditions its a walk in the park.
its like saying "so and so 'shot down' an F-35 in a wargame" when the rules stated the F-35 cant engage further than visual distance. defeating the whole point that the F-35 is a long range weapons platform, not a dog-fighter like the F-22.
You're reaching with your naval tactic theory. Their theory is sound and easy, lol. Superior fire power! Speed & the ability to back it up! Look at any attack on any naval vessel ever on the navy (don't mess with the boats). You might get one, but then the county asks, "was it worth it?"
25 decks is a lot mor then the hms victory
Dont forget the GatorFrator with a ton of pissed off marines and their own airwing in the strike group.
It's 2 carriers plus a marine lha or lhd baby amphibious ship.
That's the reason why the U.S doesn't have free healthcare
Gatlin guns
I love how EVERYBODY has to try and make new terms for the SAME technology.... ITS CALLED A LAN!!! Local Area Network... Yes most people only refer to cable connected assets as a lan but if EVERBODY in a war zone is on the same network its a LAN or if you wanna get technical a WAN Wireless Area Network. Its not new, only the security measures around it to keep threats from accessing it are new. LOL
why is there a tiny guy yappin in the corner?
LOL 😂
he said 10 carriers when there are 11
Who's the guy in the corner? Lol
What if I were to tell you you have offensive and defensive in space? In high orbit and low orbit. It started in the Reagan administration it's called Star wars.
Forgot one more reason : "Big Balls!!" I guess you'd say bollocks
