American Submarine Going to iraq in a secret mission caught

[Navy0313]

i myself happen to be a US submariner, and i can tell you right now, thats not american.

[cwood4ever]

@Navy0313 Do you think the USA has the best Subs in the world?

[av8or757]

It it were american the person filming would have been vaporized by this point.

[Gbusterbrown]

That looks a lot like the suez canal. i doubt they allow dived submarines to transit. not to mention thats a french boat.

[Dogmeat1950]

Ya.. fix the name of the vid this is not at all a American sub

[Xigano1]

For the first few seconds I thought the sonar mast on the bow was an open hatch.

Allmost jumped through my screen :)

[Gbusterbrown]

The looks like the suez canal. i bet its too shallow to transit dived.

[bookzoo]

That is not a us sub.

[JessLovesJay72707]

Not American like PP said... My husband is a USN submariner(5 yrs on a fast attack).. I've heard a lot of things from him.. Wouldn't be seen if it were American like previous posters said.

[MsJjg1]

Not American! If USN was on a secret mission, THEY WOULD NOT BE SEEN!!!!

[airwolf33270]

This is not an USS submarine, it is a french rubis(Améthyste) class submarine of the mediteranean fleet based in Toulon or Brest.

I'm French and i know my submarines.

[mcanesrock21]

definitely not american lol

[ariesleao]

Im sure the US navy would accidently surface a secret sub so everyone with camera phones could film it and put it on youtube....

/sarcasm

[sharkfin2009]

joke....not American

[223asia]

Not Yank, French

[TheGatman101]

if it was secret im sure the sub would b underwater

[Shootskas]

Not a US Sub

[kevinbomb123]

if it was what u say it was u would be shot and ur whole family

[robcole24]

Thats not an american submarine. Get your facts straight.

[Jovian84]

did iraq even have a navy? adn if they did did our subs eat them?

[skycaprobb]

the more improved american subs that they would of used for this type of operation if it was secret would of been alot larger than that if it was a modern plus that looks older and eroperan not american

[seawarrior98]

For those of you who think this is a US Boat, please submit the class of submarine you believe it to be. This can be done on a Form ID-10-Tango available from your closet check-valve locker!!!!

[wavefool]

French Amethyste

You can tell by the foul smell coming from 73 unwashed frog bodies.

[Naut571]

That is not an American Nuke. If anything it is footage of an OLD USS Barbel class which are diesel/electric and ALL retired around 1990.

The current classes of American Nuclear subs are the Improved Los Angles SSN-688 (688I's), the USS Seawolf SSN-21, and the USS Virginia (SSN-774). Every on of these classes have silouttes that are longer and leaner the sub pictured here!

[BlacktailFA]

A Nuclear Submarine on a secret mission would NEVER surface, unless it was either a double-bluff, or it was a decoy.

'Nukes, as their crews call them, have the supply capacity and oxygen generation capability stay submerged for at least a MONTH on end --- that, and no Sub Captains are as dense as the title of this video suggests.

[seawarrior98]

Nukes are personnel not Boats!!! LMAO! The Boat is just The Boat!

[BlacktailFA]

seawarrior98,

"Nukes are personnel not Boats!!! LMAO! The Boat is just The Boat!"

Roger that, seawarrior98, although I would have been more inclined to believe that the WARHEADS on board would be called 'Nukes!

;-)

[s3ath]

nay mate they wernt goin on some secret misssion didnt u see the golf course in da back ground they were just havein a round and then did u see the water skiers geting toed behind the sub lol

[bpwatl]

My two year old has a "sub" that he plays with in the tub. It must be an American sub on its' way to Iraq.

[bradbakula]

haha, secret while surfaced...

[RedOcktober]

starbuck is right... that's not an american sub...

--Mike

[Navy62802]

agreed. transiting the Suez is in no way a secret evolution. in fact the Egyptian military knows about it and provides security

[IdunCareLesSn00b]

LOL secret asif would be surfaced

[afopie]

You think it's a secret mission? I doubt it's standard operating procedure to "secretly" pass through the Suez Canal in broad daylight.

[xekul]

I thought it looked like a British Swiftsure-class boat, but I'm no expert.

[starbuck5250]

It's not American, it's a French Rubis / Amethyste. Look at the back of the sail and the shape of the rudder.
