its radar stopped working..............this ship was in drydock before deployment. Infect this deployment was supposed to be its sea trial, Its Radar actually broken down in that missile attack. That's why its going back again for drydocking for ''maintenance'' and that's why Houthis are claiming victory. As they believe they have scored a direct hit as a result of Radar breaking down in that attack! HMS Diamond is a newly build ship, it hasnt cloaked enough hours yet for its natural drydock maintenance life cycle yet. Ships go to drydock for either maintenance, disassembling/scrapping/refitting or for repairing as a war casualty. Make what u will, but something has happened to Diamond thats being pushed under the rug.
yeah the growler is one of the most under rated unknown jets in the world its capabilities are absurd ive heard some air defense guys saying if there is one thing they are scared of its the growler
Growler is basically a stand-off/escort jammer jamming almost all frequencies that can generate a weapons quality track down to even S-band. Finer points might be unknown, but not to the extent that folks believe. Much more dangerous are the next gen jammer pods US Navy is equipping it with. Those are capable of Cyber-attacks. Yeah, cyber. Through an F*ing Electronic attack mode. Even I don't get how that one works. But it is good because it will allow US Navy to keep their edge in the wake of American near peers developing their own Growlerskiis with better tech than the existing Growler.
Launching every 60-90 minutes is a flex. The US is able to do amazing feats of logistics that no one else in the world can do, and yet it is barely acknowledged by our friends or rivals.
There might not be anywhere they can reload their VLS in that AO. If i remember correctly there is somewhere that the USN can go reload close by. Bahrain?
Yh the royal navy youtube channel said it was a standard rotation as hms diamond was due for maintenance period & a type 23 is already out there replacing her, the crew where due on leave as well
My initial thoughts on HMS Diamond departure from the AO was it was premature and due to exhausting the limited missile magazine. The lack of rearming at sea, and the contemporary lack of local area dominance that the west has enjoyed for decades (which implies the freedom to dictate resources) forces unfavourable rotations and local area limitations.
@@raynetorrin no one can reload VLS at sea its their downside would not surprise me if HMS Diamond was not fully armed to start with our government likes letting the treasury set policy and weapons are better stored in a warehouse than bounce around at sea
I remember Nora Odonelle interviewing a skipper of a carrier, she asked what they’d do if targeted by China. He said “there’s something I can do about that”. Prob some folks here that could get the story straighter than I.
With respect to sea drones in the Red Sea, the US Navy learned hard lessons after the USS Cole bombing. I suspect that the doctrine, weapons, and tactics adopted from that event are in use and have been effective against these drones. With respect to the UK ship leaving, its possible that it left due to a depleted stock of weapons resulting from the last attack. One strategy the Houthis may be pursuing is to target one ship with so many missiles and drones to force them to expend their weapons at the least. That will force them to leave the scene to rearm.
HMS Diamond was due to leave, as it's replacement passed it on the way home. But it's perfectly possible that it was running low on Ammunition and instead of a restock, the decision was to leave the region a couple of days early. Although I don't believe it did leave early.
Any news on the use of the CIWS to destroy a cruise missle a few weeks ago? Was that intentional or was it a real last line of defense? Also, what weapon systems are being used to take down the unmanned ships?
@@christophermorris6386 There was a post from the MOD a few weeks back saying Diamond had 'engaged and destroyed' incomming drones with 'missiles and guns'. Interesting that they said guns. That implies CIWS.
@foxquetzal420 ohhhh. Yeah, so Yemen fired a couple of volleys at Diamond, which I don't know the precise number, but I do it was a lot. They claimed "victory" because afterwards Diamond left side was replaced by a frigate.
I'm sure it's information that can't be made public.....but I seriously wonder about the capability of an Aegis equipped ship being able to possibly completely jam if not incapacitate the communications equipment of those spy ships.
I don't know the specifics, but I believe the ships would have to be relatively close for that to occur. I would guess (I'm no Navy guy, just a civvie) that, if those Iranian ships truly are what they appear to be, there would be some protection nearby. I would also guess that those ships are only lightly armed, if at all. Iran would want to be able to claim "unarmed Iranian ships maliciously attacked by US"[
@@timmason2212 I agree completely. Iran would claim U.S. attack if they collided with their own vessel. But......how difficult is it to PROVE an electronic attack has taken place? And, by whom? I have no idea either....army guy here. I would just love to know if that capability exists. But, it's understandable that we are not likely going to find out anytime soon. I'm ok with that.
It's absolutely incredible the USA is able to take out a missile truck before it fires. This should be covered on mainstream media, the public needs to know how good our military is. It should be known to the world. Our military is well trained, funded, and extremely capable.
What good is a military if the civilian government are a bunch of narcissistic idiots Remember the military is at the mercy of civilian government And well the civilian government is horribly incompetent
They probably used up a good amount of their missile stores, either Aster-15's or Aster-30's. Those can only be replenished in port since they're in VLS.
My grandma was alive when Iran issued its first warning to retaliate 18 years ago. she is no longer with us, My grandfather then counts those warnings according to tradition. I pray that my grandfather survives to see those warnings come to true.
Aaron I think the HMS Diamond had just gone home to be replenished, they can only carry so much ammo and I do not think the Brits have the same capability as the US for at-sea replenishment, VLS cells can only be reloaded in port.
The US cant replenish VLS at sea either, all nations with VLS decided at sea replenishement for VLS is far to risky and none of them do it, in fact both the US and UK have both in the past completed at sea replenishement for VLS and both came to the same conclusion that it is not viable.
@@furiousscotsman2916 Which is a shame imo, even if you need to configure an auxillary to do it, and it can only be carried out in port whilst rafted up or at anchor, its still saves on a long journey home.
@@foxquetzal420 Im sure in a war situation most countries would find a way to make at sea vls replenishment work, the conditions would still have to be perfect tho, any pitch and roll in the ship could bea travesty waiting to happen.
@@furiousscotsman2916 True but the US has more platforms there so can distribute its resources, once the one Brit ship (which has performed spectacularly) empties, or nearly empties its cells there is no point in keeping it there.
@ronaldhunt7617 that's the same for any ship of any navy ? Once it's dry, it's a floating liability, and the US has more platforms than every other country. I'm not sure what your point is.
@@Unknown_Soldier_2 You mean the sea drones that can't get through the AEGIS combat system because it's a f**k of a lot better than the defenses on russian ships?
I assume the Diamond was due for home, and likely re-arm and maintenance after getting such a barrage of weapons, can't blame the Royal Navy at all for making sure the ship fully operational in clearly quite hostile conditions.
Unlikely she has less than 15 kill markings on her atm so even assuming a 2 to 1 for missile intercept she wold still have some left, she was due in to port for maintinence and crew rotation.
11:00 Considering how all these disruptions to international trade, as well as the issues with the Panama Canal are driving the prices of everything up as well as increasing tensions and making groups like the Houthi Rebels bolder...small wonder we're going back to policing the sea.
Just 18s? No 35s or 22s? Furthermore i am still concerned about that chinese missile. I think its the Jf18 or something. Hits mach 3 at the terminal phase. While this version may have incredible counter measures there is something to be said about limiting the time to respond to a attack down to potentially seconds if not minutes depending on the range of the engagement.
The 22 isn't a carrier aircraft and the 35 is only on one carrier at the moment I think... im sure the Navy is taking every threat seriously but AEGIS is knocking down ballistic missiles like its child's play, im sure it can handle the JF18 too.
It's interesting that (unless there's something I don't know) the F35 hasn't been involved I would have thought that it's radar would have been amazing at this situation in terms of using its sensor suite to find launchers and take them out rapidly. The fact that a frigate is replacing a destroyer is likely due to the small number of destroyers the RN has, that said the T23s (which are basically falling apart from old age tat this point) do have CAMM which is pretty good.
Aaron!!! We need a video ASAP on the underwater drone the US took out this weekend. Did a torpedo take this thing out? Has a Virginia class entered the chat?
This has just become wayyy out of hand as I‘m writing this. Would love to hear your insight and comments on the currently ongoing attack of Iran on Israel.
If we don't see the UK's frigate coming to the theater in near future then it surely means they wanted to protect their ship and avoid the high risk region. Also, you can't rotate / replace an Air defense destroyer with an ASW frigate. Especially in the region where there is no threat of submarine attacks but huge threat of incoming projectiles.
Whut ? HMS Diamond was due for maintinence and crew rotation lol, and yes you can especially when that ASW frigate has air search radar and 32 Sea ceptor air to air missiles lmfao.
I just imagine the sailors on the destroyers when they discover a USV like "Alright, free beers on the next port leave if you can disable it with 1 shot" while the guys on the 5" gun just blasts the thing out of the sea laughing diabolically "muahah, my stick's bigger than yours!".
CVs don't just have multiple shifts, they often practice 'hot-bunking' where one sailor at the end of a shift goes right into the bunk of a sailor just starting their day.
@@AT2Productions Okay. I have a first-person story from someone serving on the Gerald R. Ford during its teething phase which directly contradicts you. I'd be willing to bet this is practiced where and whenever it's convenient for the ship.
@@FunkmasterRick You mean during the phase of acceptance sea-trials where additional people that are not part of the regular compliment for a deployment are on board for an extended period of time? Or were you told about an underway testing period where not all the berthing spaces had been completed prior to departure? Oh dear me, how dare I refrain from making a broad generalization based off a special case that happens once in a class of vessel’s service life, but rather used every other instance of a ship type’s movement. Want to know another factor I didn’t/don’t consider, the Ford was first in her class, JFK and Enterprise won’t have the same added vendor augment for sea trials. Guess what else that means, an even less likely chance of needing to hot rack. Plus, let’s go really pedantic, I was part of the last full crew on the last serving CV in the US Navy, guess what we didn’t do in my years aboard that ship. And guess what we didn’t do during my next deployment on a CVN. Do you know the differences between a CV and a CVN? In summary, your choice to say hot racking happens often on US CVNs is wrong. I don’t know who lied to you, but you have been lied to if you were told that instead of assuming it’s a frequent thing yourself. On the Kitty Hawk we had a little under 5,000 people total with rack space to spare. The Nimitz and Ford classes are larger, with more efficient layouts, and only a slightly larger crew complement.

Making a sponsored video and then calling it unbiased is pretty funny
HMS Diamond ran out of interceptors. It was a sitting duck. Def wasnt normal rotation lol -
like the Russians found out guided weapons are expensive
@@M167A1 What does that have to do with what he said?
HMS Diamond might have gone home to reload and rest
Probably on schedule but nothing wrong with reloading either.
Even assuming a 2 to 1 for missile intercept she wold still have some left, she was due in to port for maintinence and crew rotation.
It's interesting that (unless there's something I don't know) the F35 hasn't been involved I would have thought that it's radar would have been amazing at this situation in terms of using its sensor suite to find launchers and take them out rapidly. The fact that a frigate is replacing a destroyer is likely due to the small number of destroyers the RN has, that said the T23s (which are basically falling apart from old age tat this point) do have CAMM which is pretty good.
Can you do a video on this Russian space nuke thing?
The usn and armed services have nothing to be worried about.
Instead of "we will retaliate", it should be "we" "will" "retaliate"?
Aaron!!! We need a video ASAP on the underwater drone the US took out this weekend. Did a torpedo take this thing out? Has a Virginia class entered the chat?
Interesting.
Thanks!
Thank you again, Mr. Dennis.
Was the Diamond out of missiles? Maybe she shot her stores and had no more stones to throw?
I’m surprised they haven’t taken over their drones and turned back on them.
That's an ability we'd want to keep in our back pockets for exactly the right moment.
@@killman369547 that’s my guess as well. Not drastic enough to reveal sources and methods for counter defense.
Hell yeah thats damn good news!!! Thanks Capt.😋
Ward Carrol is a former f-14 pilot who has a great channel similar to Sub Brief but from a pilot's perspective. should try and do collaborations
when I was on the Kitty Hawk we always ran 2 shifts, though we called to them day and night shifts as opposed to left and right shift.
This has just become wayyy out of hand as I‘m writing this. Would love to hear your insight and comments on the currently ongoing attack of Iran on Israel.
If we don't see the UK's frigate coming to the theater in near future then it surely means they wanted to protect their ship and avoid the high risk region. Also, you can't rotate / replace an Air defense destroyer with an ASW frigate. Especially in the region where there is no threat of submarine attacks but huge threat of incoming projectiles.
Whut ? HMS Diamond was due for maintinence and crew rotation lol, and yes you can especially when that ASW frigate has air search radar and 32 Sea ceptor air to air missiles lmfao.
I want Pine Gap News but that's top secret news
I just imagine the sailors on the destroyers when they discover a USV like "Alright, free beers on the next port leave if you can disable it with 1 shot" while the guys on the 5" gun just blasts the thing out of the sea laughing diabolically "muahah, my stick's bigger than yours!".
Love the content but is there really a "right" vs "left" argument or policy on things that really matter?
Umm, republican support for Russia suggests yes?
impressive capability
At least you trying bro,
CVs don't just have multiple shifts, they often practice 'hot-bunking' where one sailor at the end of a shift goes right into the bunk of a sailor just starting their day.
Can this hot bunk be done for 6 months? The stress of this ..
This is BS. I was on a CV and a CVN, hot-racking was never done. FFGs and SSNs are where it can/does happen, not on our carriers.
@@AT2Productions Okay. I have a first-person story from someone serving on the Gerald R. Ford during its teething phase which directly contradicts you. I'd be willing to bet this is practiced where and whenever it's convenient for the ship.
@@FunkmasterRick You mean during the phase of acceptance sea-trials where additional people that are not part of the regular compliment for a deployment are on board for an extended period of time? Or were you told about an underway testing period where not all the berthing spaces had been completed prior to departure? Oh dear me, how dare I refrain from making a broad generalization based off a special case that happens once in a class of vessel’s service life, but rather used every other instance of a ship type’s movement. Want to know another factor I didn’t/don’t consider, the Ford was first in her class, JFK and Enterprise won’t have the same added vendor augment for sea trials. Guess what else that means, an even less likely chance of needing to hot rack. Plus, let’s go really pedantic, I was part of the last full crew on the last serving CV in the US Navy, guess what we didn’t do in my years aboard that ship. And guess what we didn’t do during my next deployment on a CVN. Do you know the differences between a CV and a CVN?
In summary, your choice to say hot racking happens often on US CVNs is wrong. I don’t know who lied to you, but you have been lied to if you were told that instead of assuming it’s a frequent thing yourself. On the Kitty Hawk we had a little under 5,000 people total with rack space to spare. The Nimitz and Ford classes are larger, with more efficient layouts, and only a slightly larger crew complement.
@@AT2Productions I'd like to think the tone of this response was beneath a military service member.
