For all the time I was in "The Andrew" I never witnessed a R A S as I was on watch either in the boiler room or engine room, we left all that to the sailors and Bootnicks to do.
TOM MARSHALL I was a Bootneck on a carrier (H.M.S. Centaur), in the 1960's, and during a RAS my job, along with a couple of other Booties, was to hold a rope from the R.F.A ship over to our side. The rope had different coloured flags along its length, and it acted as some sort of basic distance marker between the two ships
@@MajorRoadAhead I was on minesweepers out the gulf, HMS forth out in Singers, then back out on HMS Ghurka we did plenty of Rasses in bad weather and at night whilst on Patrol on the Easy coast of Africa when Rohdesia was misbehaving themselves.
@@tommarshall1660 I remember the 'Forth, always alongside at HMS Terror (or thereabouts!). Always passed it on our way up to RNAD and on the way, back out to sea. The good old days.
@@davidbell8320 Cross winds would make drones pointless and RAZ also would include fuel, which needs lines from ship to ship. So drones will never be needed tbh.
They use an SA80 with a line throwing projectile that looks like a dildo with a rubber end cone on it, this can be removed to put cyalume light sticks in when dark. This is secured to a gunline braided 2.5 mm line fired from the warship. The line is secured to a messenger on the RFA that is pulled back to the warship on the messenger a thicker rope think it is 10 mm there is inglefield clips tied into it on each of those the first will be a distance line which helps indicate the distance between the ships for the navigator or skipper that goes on the bow and kept taunt. Next used to be a telephone line to communicate if passing fuels sometimes another messenger if there is something light to be transferred like a ship's baseball cap or bottle of spirit ect. The messenger is continued to be hauled over and will have the Jackstay which is the main line that things are slewed across that will be attached to a slip on the warship then made to be under tension. The yellow thing coming over is a test weight one or two tonne. There are different RAS and different lines but nearly the same. Hope that helps
My request was a bit tongue in cheek, but it's in those challenging conditions that the crews show their professionalism and tune-up their skills. Lots of navies now claim RAS capabilities, but the RN was one if the earliest, if not the first, practitioner. I imagine not all navies could haul cases of Newcastle Brown, Mars bars etc and a few boxes of 7.62 mm ammo, across, at 2.30 am, on a February night in the Barents sea, but if needs must, our matelots can!
Don't doubt it one bit, but what if at night in a storm is the only way they can minimise the chances of a Russian satellite, or "trawler" sussing out what they're up to?
On Diomede in the late 80's, it was the S&S who did the RASs. However when the weather was flat, calm and sunny, the buffer so 'dont worry, the seamen will do tbe ras'. We told him to jog the fck on, we were doing it, it was our job. Im not sure who decided that the S&S were doing them or if it was a fleet thing or just Diomede.
HMS Richmond was "Making good way" in the approach shot - in that situation how do they quickly stick the brakes on ? Can the props give reverse pitch ? As part of a "Fleet Day" in the channel for MOD civvies and the like, I was on board HMS Cumberland and witnessed a re-fuel from RFA Wave Ruler to Cumberland . . . .the method was different and the approach was far gentler. Cumberland kept station and Wave Ruler ambled-up alongside. Presume they "Go easy" for the visitors on Fleet Days ?
Depending on OOW and the Nav the frigates and destroyers normally run in pretty swift as they can handbrake turn or call missed and breakaway. Bigger ships tend to take their time as they can't manoeuvre as easily and there's not a lot of water between and they can get pulled into a merge.
@@freezingpig8706 depending on the time of the RAS and who's on duty the CO may "backseat" the RAS and so long as no danger in present let the bridge crew work any issues. Handbrake turn is wheel over and trying to wet the freeboard

Miss shooting the dick on a RAS, nearly took a crane window out on one of the old forts. Seems like they have binned the L85A1-LF off and are using a bespoke lower power line throwing unit now.
Ah, that brings back the memories, from the days where the deck hands worked the winches by hand and all they wore were shorts and flip-flops, while working the point. Then ‘health and safety’ got involved and things look very professional now.

Nicely done. Well done and thanks to the lads and lasses of the RN and RFA. 🇬🇧
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition, plays loudly
Hear hear!

Ammo ? Huh. Kentucky fried chicken and a Pizza hut.
How I miss these exercises 👍
Love you UK
Great work
I suppose in time we'll see drones infiltrating into this type of RAS operation via the heli-decks.
Perhaps, but i suppose lines can hold more weight? Dont know but will be interesting to see what happens in the future.
@@davidbell8320 Cross winds would make drones pointless and RAZ also would include fuel, which needs lines from ship to ship. So drones will never be needed tbh.
how do they get the cable across? do they throw it across, or use a boat to transfer the cable?
They fire a rifle with the line attached. I believe the Brits use the SA 80.
Excellent!
Wonder how they get the lines over
a pneumatic gun fires a rope over, and it is attached to a winch, then the main line is winched over
...is that before or after he's been keelhauled?

@@laceandwhisky not enough detail; too superficial!

Impressive; professional, in perfect conditions; like the Serps in Hyde Park. How about a clip of RAS at night in a storm, please?
Are u dumb why would anyone do that

I have video’s of RAS es, In all sorts of conditions, even some where things didn’t go according to plan.

They can both be underway. That way you can still keep tension in the wires.

The yanks think *Richmond* is in their 'muuuuuuuuurca without knowing Richmond has been in England for 600 years = they stole the name.
And Boston.
More like we gave it to them, because we colonised about half of America which is why they have places like Cambridge, Boston, Norfolk, New York etc

What kind of armor do these modern ships have?
Mutually assured destruction
Pretty much none in the Traditional 'Battleship' sense.
Kevlar and thicker-steel armour covering areas containing explosives to reduce the risk of detonation due to small arms fire.
And big fuck off guns and missiles
@@TT-hd3zi Ok. I was wondering if modern ships would be able to take a hit from the same kind of naval guns they have. It appears they would not.
