Lion's Mane Jellyfish swimming at St Abbs Head Scotland
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 4 lety
Some GoPro footage of a beautiful Lion's Mane Jellyfish (Cyanea Capillata) whilst snorkelling from St Abb's (Scottish Borders) in August 2020. This particular jelly was about half a metre in diameter. This species loves the cool temperate waters found around the Scottish coast and this was the third sighting of the day.

This is a re upload of an existing video that would not play on mobile devise because of it's encoding.
What a brilliant documentary that goes in depth about every aspect of the type 25 destroyer warship much greatful thank you for the upload 🔥🔥🤌🤌🇬🇧🇬🇧
How can you build a modern surface ship that has no cruise missiles😂
speaking of carrier ops the rationale behind Royal Navy's shift from CATOBAR aircraft carriers to STOVL eludes the very purpose of a carrier strike group . . . why . . .
STOVL is cheaper but also allows the launch and recovery of aircraft in graeter sea states. It also proved that it can work, as seen in the Falklands conflict. Japan, USMC, Spain, Italy are al STOVL countries, not a bad group to be able to interop with.
Worked the Eagle from its firest commish Nov 1951...flight deck for 2 commisssions., First commish straight deck..piston a/c (Sea Hornets..Firefly, Skyraiders.. and jet Attackers.).. then came the first angle deck and Seahawks, Venoms, Wyverns, Gannets... No earmuffs for noise!. (whats that you sai.d.cant hear you..shout a bit louder 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Happy days...
hi ross i keep looking 4 my dad he was fleet air arm leading arm mostly on gannets ,, no 1 ever shows below deck
They should show this to all school kids in the last year of school. I personally think it's great recruiting potential , in a different way ...
I was serving at this very time on this flight deck on 804 Squadron, air frames and engine fitter
This must have been when we still had a Navy. Getting smaller but not quite yet extinct.
What a shame.. As Japan produces more Ships then the UK..As they understand the value of the skills needed to build them. Should never be lost. Then the 10+ years it takes to train the Crews.
Can I use some parts of this video for an edit?
No problem :)
@@alexanderfoster3628 thank you
Great video. The music for this perfect.
No surface to surface capability, unreliable power plant, and only 6 type 45 were 16 are needed. Money for migrants, and to waste on the NHS, yet we cant defend our shores.
Despite all the bad press it's performing better than any other destroyer in 2024
how can a globe have 4 corners?
Fantastic video. Now saved to watch again and again.
Borders open country in a mess and the politicians spend our hard earned money on weapons and fireworks while kids and working class people stand in ques at food banks Fuckwits salavating at this total waste of our hard earned money
It’s great to see the royal navy with two super carriers. It’s very sad. They were not made CATOBAR super carriers. An immense mistake! The radar on the Darings is excellent! However, if the Royal Navy is only going to build six escorts for two super carriers, these ships are grossly under sized, and carry far too few missiles!! Either build six more or you will always be requesting a U.S send Arleigh Burke destroyer to give you another 96 missiles, which in the flight three can also intercept ICBMs. I’m glad to see the royal navy come back as far as they have! As an American, who is an extreme anglophile, I am so disappointed in the decisions which made your carriers STOVAL instead of CATOBAR and although an excellent escort, these ships should be carrying 96 missiles like do US in Arleigh Burke flight three. It makes me sad. Britain has come so far yet decided to stop 10 m short of finishing 100 m race in restoring the royal navy! In my opinion which ships this size you need twelve not six. to adequately screen your two super carriers!
The Type 45s have been going through a project to see the number of AAW missiles increased to 72, The Type 83 replacement is expected to have a lot more missiles and feature Mk 41 sylos. I fully expect to see a CATOBAR solution in the future for new aircraft/drone types. The ships have a 50 year life span and can be configured for CATOBAR. However at the time the decision was made our version of EMALs was too risky to go with and the ships cannot generate steam for a traditional catapult. STOVL isn't so bad, these carriers can generate a sortie rate just below that of a Nimitz and we can interop with USMC, Italians and Japanese.
As soon as a new Cold War aviation video showed up in my suggestions I almost rammed my thumb through the screen to get here. I was also praying you didn’t cram obnoxious music in. Music for this sort of material usually ruins the video but this suits the operations perfectly.
Can someone list the aircraft featured esp. the propeller driven?
Sea vixen twin boom, scimitar ,Gannet aew
probably a Fairey Gannet
Huge hallways and tiny berths.
You don't need to move personnel, equipment and damage control gear at the double rush through a 6 berth cabin.
Been there, done that on the old Ark('64-'66)
The RN's Type 45 destroyers are faulty and operationally unreliable. To call it Britain's ultimate warship is not only a ludicrous exaggeration, it is an insult to knowledgeable viewers. Could be better edited.
Thanks for this 👍
Am i wrong or once the vertical weapons are depleted she has to hit port to ammunition ship as it cannot be done at sea which would make her pretty much a target?
That is correct, but that does also apply to other ships. The majority of weapons in modern warships have their missiles are in VLS. Type 45 does have torpedos that can be launched from a Merlin or anti-ship weapons from a Lynx helicopter and there is also the 4.5 inch gun. T45 is getting an upgrade with 24 extra VLS silos for sea ceptor, meaning there will be 72 VLS on board. They are having a pretty bad day if all 72 missiles are consumed.
@@alexanderfoster3628 None of that fancy stuff on the Type 21 i served on back in the day 😂
All these ships had serious flaws. One was the generator engines which over heated in hot climates. The other was the harmonic voltage distortion (THDu) due to her 2 x 20MW of electric propulsion. The THDu is four times the limit set in Stanag. She also has common mode voltage in kV on the hull. The THDu was known about in 2001 but nothing was done.
" he will lead his men and women " Why don't you call them crew?
No UNREP tune blasting out?!?
The Warfare Officer at 1:12:10, is now appeared as Captain of the HMS Queen Elizabeth in the new documentary BBC Warship: Tour of Duty.
I think the RN should bring back flogging and grog.
Cool video. Awesome ship
Thanks for posting this documentary beautiful stuff! Need more VLS bring back Tico 2033
the world best aegis destroyer, you wont get a more attentive crew than in a royal navy CIC simply because of the falkand war, they take ship protection very seriously.
T45 doesn't use AEGIS. T45 is fitted with Sea Viper which is made up of Astor missiles, Sylver launch silo and Sampson radar.
Very impressive, but why is she not nuclear powered?
Bet they had jam Roly and custard in the evening mess hall.

What if you get hit with an EMP ? Are you sitting in the dark dead in the water?
Modern warefare equipment is emp proofed.
The French had 45 design first. Daring was a disaster and treated as an experiment with it's unusable RADAR technology linked to its experimental missile system. The computer system on board was woeful and kept on crashing, needing a reboot even after being commissioned. This documentary highlights the discrepancies int he construction of modern warships. It was expensive, and the skills base had to be highly skilled in order to match up the unit builds from different parts of the country. It didn't work! For example, holes in bulkheads did not match up. Eventually Daring was launched after a nightmare during construction, yet what followed was a fiasco. This documentary is very generous in its kind of truth. How do I know? I worked for MoD with RN when this fiasco was constructed.
First of class, issues such of these are expected.
More ships need to be built in Britain
She is a beast!
Don't miss the Skyraider at 8.40
how many ships would protect the carriers
Probably at least a single destroyer assigned to each carrier.. alot of the other auxiliary ships accompanying a carrier on a major deployment would be supply at sea logistical vessels.
@@michaeljohn2826 HMS Eagle had the last battleship in the RN as a plane guard when the Daring (destrlyer) had a problem when on plane guard and went for a repair job...and there on the port quarter was Vanguard....
I never tire of this video. Perfect. Love who i am but i would trade a few years to have been on that flight deck with a yellow tabard. RIP Hermes. The most underrated carrier
The Type 45s are amazing ships but we should have made more of them. Originally we were going to have 12 but then successive governments have cut the budget for our armed forces and reduced the total number. I wish we had a government that really believed in and supported our brave men & women in the armed forces and funded more ships which is really what we need right now.
They are crap nothing but trouble and only one can be deployed.
The composer of the scores, Vangelis has passed away aged 79 today 19/05/22. Rest in peace
Thank you was not aware of his passing
This music is from 1984’s ‘The Bounty’.
IMO it is shortsighted of the UK treasury to halt construction at six ships when they should've built the originally planned 12 ships.
This is what my grandpa went through
Not "what he went through" me lad (sounds like it was a bit of a drudge). He was part of the mighty Fleet Air Arm and had every right to be proud of what he did.
This video & others I've seen on Royal navy ships, including the QE carrier, have all mentioned how the UK government over the decades has cut back on this or that, reducing capabilities due to cost etc. Now, in light of current world events, this doctrine has come back to haunt them. Can you imagine how we could've boosted our navy and air force with that £37 BILLION our government found for the COVID track and trace app? It always appears that politicians fail to see what many others do and then react too late.
Lol y'all aren't even in the Top 5 for having the "best Navy." There's a lot of false claims in this documentary. You guys didn't modernize Ship building, nor did you revolutionize anything. America will always be #1. Google it.
Why aren’t they wearing anti-flash?
Nice one, Capt McAlpine, slagging off the previous generations of sailors. Git!
