As a career employee at SIO, I had the fortune to serve on FLIP for 10 years. It never ceased to amaze me and while in port at Pt.Loma and B Street pier, we saw people from all over the planet wanting a tour.
I remember when we went underway and I saw this thing for the first time off the coast of San Diego. It was amazing to see in person and MUCH bigger than it looks on here.
2022 calling, i just found out about it. We could have smth like that and now we "fight" covid and a russian inva...sorry i mean a russian special operation. we humans are so done.
The same way that submarines are able to rise or submerge in the sea -- they pump pressurized air into them to displace the water, causing the ship to right itself.
When it's in its vertical position is much less susceptible to the movements caused by the waves, and becomes very stable, so it's used for any kind of research that has to be done at sea, and that needs stability.

Jenkins: sir, you told us to paint the walls white and the floors gray and Leroy was trying to convince me that the rooms here had two floors, four walls and zero ceiling. Cpt: go on.

The fact that this ship was built in 1962 and this video is from 2007 is equally fascinating
Built-in 1962 video we are watching was posted in 2007 and here we are now watching it in 2021
@@MaceGaming53 2023 now ✌🏼😎
And now it's being sunk
Now 2 week tell 2024
The 60's are an underrated decade in terms of advancement.

It's a shame it's being scrapped. I'd love to see the top half in a Maritime museum
There has to have been somewhere in balboa park they could've put her instead of just the scrapyard
"Flip stands for Floating Instrument Platform"
Yeah right thats what they thought of first when naming it...
Flipping amazing ₖᵢₗₗ ₘₑ
I remember reading about this ship while in gradeschool!
Glad to see it is being saved and continue working!
I remember when we went underway and I saw this thing for the first time off the coast of San Diego. It was amazing to see in person and MUCH bigger than it looks on here.
It's 2020 & now i know that this ship is exist,, amazing
And she turns 60 next year!
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial amazing ! thanks for the info🤜🤛
2022 calling, i just found out about it. We could have smth like that and now we "fight" covid and a russian inva...sorry i mean a russian special operation. we humans are so done.
Very nice video! From Indonesia.. 😁🇮🇩
23 now and they're scrapping it @@MrHellmirror
Awesome!
And it is Micheal Dorn (Worf from Star Trek narrating
Thank you!!
I saw this thing when I was docked on the Roger Revelle at Scripps in San Diego. It's weird as hell, but truly an amazing concept.
13 years back ahh nice!!
Launched in 1962? why am I just now hearing about this!
And me 7 years after you 😁
@@Elijah5naf and me 2 years after you 😂
And me 10 years after you😂
And here we are
It must be a terrifying feeling sitting on the toilet when the ship is skipped 90°
The crapper rotates
Worst part is now you have to reach farther for the TP!
You think they might pick a slightly better time to do a poop.
@@dano8613video shows you need to rotate it manually, good luck if you’re mid brick
As they mentioned in the video, it allows the scientists to perform various research that is not possible on normal vessels.
are you alive?
@@clenzai I guess not 😔
I didn't know Worf was doing documentaries.
Sounds like Michael Dorn from Star Trek TNG!
oh that's got to be dorn
'Captain, the ship is flipping. Recommend we raise shields.'
'No Mr Worf'
That's flippin' cool.
I got to see RV FLIP today in San Diego! Totally badass!
Man this boat is mind blowing
2023 and I'm here 🖤
wow, i would be very scared if i was flipping on that vessel. i can t believe its that stable. those scientists are amazing!
There are doors on the walls and ceilings
this is the very best example of the thanos meme
> post it
> but sire, the quality
> just do it!
Wait is that worf?
Yup
The Voice Over sounds like it's Michael Dorn.
Woah this video basically one of oldest video in youtube yet lot people just heard about it
I wish they would let Doug DeMuro do a video onboard
... is that Worf?
This is pretty cool. is that Michale Dorn from star trek narrating?
Too late for me to know about thos fascinatimg vessel. It was launched in 1962 and I found about it rightnow.
Bloody video stops when it gets to bits I want to see... lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the narrator sounds like michael dorn (worf)
+Mikee Meador Cause you know, he is
That is sooo weird to read '17 years ago' about a TH-cam video
Is that Worf doing the voice over?
Holy shit it's Worf
I had to find.a.16yr old video to.see.wbat interested me...inside footage as it flips.
240p, we meet again...
144p actually
Are you still alive?

adding this experience to my bucket list.
Don't forget to flush before you FLIP.
is that worf?
It sure sounds like an African Ninja.
I'm left wondering how the hell it gets back to the regular floating position?
Pushes Aire into chamber where water is at.water makes ship stand up virtically.air makes it horizontal again
الله الله على العلم والإبداع
The same way that submarines are able to rise or submerge in the sea -- they pump pressurized air into them to displace the water, causing the ship to right itself.
The titanic scene right?
What's the purpose of thos ship??
When it's in its vertical position is much less susceptible to the movements caused by the waves, and becomes very stable, so it's used for any kind of research that has to be done at sea, and that needs stability.
I have been on it I am 100 percent not kidding
Is that worf narrating?
Insanely cool! :D
just amazing...
I just want to see videos of the inside during the flip movement itself.
First I find is 144p heh
That's so COOL!!

Isso é incrível
Aaaah they even flipped the toilet sideways. If they were really hard core sea-farers, they'd make-do with the toilet mounted firmly on the wall.
Hell yeah. At least it sounds like him.
Cpt:Mop the floors .... Jenkins the downward floors!!!
Jenkins: Oh yes, sir! -- see Leroy i told you rooms only have one floor
Cpt: what are you talking about?
Jenkins: sir, you told us to paint the walls white and the floors gray and Leroy was trying to convince me that the rooms here had two floors, four walls and zero ceiling.
Cpt: go on.
Leroy: Sir, he painted one floor gray tree walls and a floor white and then pulled the paint off the ceil-- I mean upper wall

R.i.p. flip :(
Saved from the scrapper's torch as on late October 2024.
Amazing.
Wow onceit flips it dosent move like its mountedto bottom
3:22 it's Alain Prost :)
I didn't even born when this was uploaded 🤣🤣
How old are you

In my opinion you are 100% right but they will never understand
They were raised to never understand or think
fantastic
Aaaaaye it's I Am Weasel!
144 quality?!?! WTF!
Trouble is the life boats go vertical when the ship dose, shame they didn't pivot them too...
They/we did pivot them after “flipping”.
3:39 Possible monologue: 'Dam I need a shit fast! Oh, toilet! Daaam, it flips over. Fuckin awesome. *sits* ahhhh.'
how it's possible ship can stand on water
Ballast tanks are flooded so just 300’ of FLIP is underwater and the remaining 65’ above.
Can you imagine being on the crapper when they flip it😂
Never happened, everyone is outside and inside secured during transition.
this like a toothbrush xD
@ 2:57 "here we've SPEEDED up the process". SPEEDED???
WTF why so many comments in arabic?

this is the same concept as a flip video except this was recorded with a potato

looks like a giant spoon, dipping for "waves."
