      I took a physics class in college and met a nuke. A.K.A. a nuclear reactor technician who served aboard a US nuclear submarine. He was very good at physics, eventually learned his experience as a nuke in the Navy meant he already met the physics requirement for his major so he was able to drop the course.
      When I asked him what it was like on a submarine, he quickly replied "boring."

      Well I guess it would be Russia, because tsar bomba was the biggest nuclear bomb ever tested, the bomb itself detonated at 50 mega tons of tnt, and the shock wave circling the earth three times. But even worse, it was a 100 Mega tons nuclear device, but the designer ask the soviet premier to decrease it for the safety of other people in the surrounding and the pilot it self. And the fun fact, tsar bomba have the cleanest nuclear fallout of all bomb because the decreasing of the bomb yield to a half

      There is also some rumors that Red October the so called "Caterpillar Drive" or Magnetohydrodynamic drive (MHD) may have been indeed tested on a Typhoon class but due to major technical and performance problems, it was scrapped quickly and no Navy adopted it. Also it was rumored to have an earlier self arming torpedo, but that was probably just propaganda although one sub in the early 2000's the Minsk supposedly sank because of an experimental torpedo killing over 100 sailors. May they rest in peace.

    In the video, the model used looks more like the Shchuka-B class SSN (NATO classification: Akula) and not the Akula-class SSBN (NATO Classification: Typhoon) which the video references. The true Akula class submarine has a long, wide hull with the sail mounted after, closer to the stern of the ship. The torpedo tubes are mounted on the bow in a 4+2 organization. The sail itself is large and a bit fat-looking where it meets the hull, and has some windows at the top. Soon after the sail, very near to the stern of the ship is the tall rudder, which does not have a towed array pod like that of the Victor III (Nato class.) and Shchuka-B SSNs.
    The model in the video much better resembles the Shchuka-B class SSN, a nuclear attack submarine that had no capability to launch ballistic missiles and was certainly not 172 meters long (Akula I was 110.3m). The Akula, like most other Soviet nuclear attack submarines, has a short sail that diminishes into the hull. Atop the rudder is a large pod that looks very much like the one shown in the video; it houses the submarine's towed array sonar.
    Not a big detail, but I think it's a bit strange to show the wrong model.

      I hear ya Dr__Tarn. One time before we went out to sea, I stood the shutdown watch - then had to do the reactor startup check list (during the overnight), then I was on duty for the actual reactor startup, I was the maneuvering reactor opertor, so had to stand watch when we left port and wasn't scheduled to get off watch until we dove -- after which time I was supposed to be relieved. Lo and behold, immediately after we dove, we ran battlestation drills (and I was the battlestation RO), and right after that, I finally turned over. I no sooner got to the mess decks to grab a snack when they ran a reactor scram drill, so as the off going reactor operator, I had to return to maneuvering to aid in the reactor recovery. All told, I was up for more than 40 straight hours, and I was looking at no more than 5 hours of sleep before I had to be back up for watch again. Luckily my division chief needed to do his proficiency watch for qualifications, so he covered my shift. I slept for almost 18 straight hours...

I still would not serve on a sub even now! Besides when they come back after a deployment they are just weird! All of them! not sure if it's not seeing the sun for 6 months or what ever!

    It isn't true saying that the missiles in the subs alone can take out every city in the USA. The nukes in the main missile can't actually target other cites. The nukes that come out of the main missile can't move far off target from one another. The nukes are all meant to hit the same city just in different places within the city to take the whole city out in one go. This strategy was found to be more effective at taking out a city then building one missile with a single large nuke in it. This is because you first want to make sure a nuke is getting through to a city since there are defenses to ICBMs. Sending multiple missiles in will overwhelm a missile defense system (or at least that is hope of the country launching the missiles, who knows what defenses countries actually have against ICBMs) This is the same strategy the USA missiles from subs and and ground launched ICBMs use as well.

    • @conkeeper
      @conkeeper Před 5 lety

      MIRV warheads can indeed hit targets hundreds of miles apart. The missile enters orbit and the warheads separate from the booster, they then re-enter the earth's atmosphere and independently destroy what they target. They don't behave like artillery shells where they split while in their ballistic arc, this is why the space program was so important to the military.

    You see, they had to come to a near stop to launch, and they couldn't move again until there missiles were all away. This took several minutes, and it was not quiet.
    Both sides escorted the other, and they kept a lock on the enemy. As soon as they started to launch, the attack subs would also launch. It was just a race to see how many you could get off.
    In a nuclear war, the sub drivers would have been the first to die.

    Couple of mistakes, the TK-17 wasn't one of the first Akulas built, it was the second to last ever built. And Russian Navy only has one Typhoon in service with the Northern Fleet, the TK-208, the very first Typhoon ever built. And TK-208 It is now primarily used as a missiles testing platform for new SLBM designs and test-firings. The rest of the 5 subs have been either scrapped, waiting to be scrapped or decommissioned and kept in storage. Also, the TK-208 is not really meant for missile warfare anymore as the R-39 Rif missiles where retired back in 2004. While TK-208 has been upgraded to carry the RSM-56 SLBM, but it is used more for carrying out missile testing than anything else.

Soon after the sail, very near to the stern of the ship is the tall rudder, which does not have a towed array pod like that of the Victor III (Nato class.) and Shchuka-B SSNs.
      The model in the video much better resembles the Shchuka-B class SSN, a nuclear attack submarine that had no capability to launch ballistic missiles and was certainly not 172 meters long (Akula I was 110.3m). The Akula, like most other Soviet nuclear attack submarines, has a short sail that diminishes into the hull. Atop the rudder is a large pod that looks very much like the one shown in the video; it houses the submarine's towed array sonar.
      Not a big detail, but I think it's a bit strange to show the wrong model.

    Bad news. This entire video got the two classes of submarines mixed up. Tom Clancy's Red October was a modified TYPHOON class. Very different from the Akula class atack sub. Akula class subs are smaller, speedier and more maneuverable so they were used as submarine hunters. The Typhoon class behemoth was the strategic nuclear ICBM carrier. Their designs are so different that it is amazing anyone would confuse them.

  • @robknapp8647

    Some very misleading info in this video. Particularly when pretending that these enormous submarines were nearly twice as heavy as they actually were. The Akula class subs were massive, but they only displaced 48,000 tons of seawater when submerged. With their ballast tanks empty they only displaced 24,500 tons.
    The Gerald Ford class carriers displace 100,000 tons, but if you filled one with enough water to sink it, their weight would increase by orders of magnitude. When these subs surfaced, most of the sub remained under water while the overwhelming majority of a aircraft carrier resides above the surface considering they have a draft of 39 feet and the flight deck sits about 55 feet above the waterline. If you really wanted to give us an accurate size comparison you would have taken the time to figure out the volume of these subs.

    • @buildthings79

      I think he said a WWII aircraft carrier. Like the York town. That only weighed 44,000 tons. But it also goes to propulsion also. If it is submerged with ballest tanks full then its engines must move 48,000 tons. And the aircraft carrier also must move that kind of weight.

  • @tekkris
    @tekkris Před 5 lety

    The Nato designation for Akula class submarines equates to the Soviet Shchuka (Pike) class. The Nato designation for the submarine you are talking about is the Typhoon class. Both were built in the 80s and both have a double hull for breaking through ice. Since you use Nato designations for everything else in this video you should probably keep it consistent and use the proper designation of Typhoon. In fact, if you view Jane's Fighting Ships, Google, or even Wikipedia for the Akula Class submarine you will see the fast attack ship. As for their capabilities, Typhoon carried the R-39 missiles with 20 tubes for a total of 200 warheads (you got that correct) while Ohio class has 24 missile tubes that carry the Trident II D5 missile with 12 MIRV's bringing the Ohio to a possible 288 warheads, a pretty significant difference. So just one volley of half the missiles on an Ohio, it could strike 144 targets to the Typhoon's 100.
    Secondarily, hot bunking does not normally occur on an Ohio class submarine as there are more bunks on the ship than there are people normally. Using gym equipment though nice would probably cause a lot of noise so it is not because Ohio is restricted in space but rather out of ship and crew safety. Hydrodynamics says that if you have a tank full of water sloshing around it will cause the buoyancy of the ship to alter based on where the weight is located meaning that the pool and hot tub again are nice but they are dangerous. Look at pools as yet another liquid that can splash around and cause damage let alone the havoc it must have caused the trim and list of the ship (a 4x4x4 foot pool of water weighs 3,840 lbs or 1578 kg). Ohio class also has a large room for crew members to use computers, and another to watch movies, and play video games in contrast to your description.
    This video is very inaccurate if for no other reason than it is stating a false narrative without actually doing research.
