Navy's New Super Ship

[MrFattyfatfatboy]

These ships are way to big and we will never find the people to mann them,America is now asking that Aus spend more on defence,when we already spend 1.8% of our GDP on defence.The same with Japan, and you know who benefits when we buy more weapons.Electric boat is also nosing in on our futre Subs ,trying to push Virginias on us,W.A is selling out and pushing for Nuclear power,so GE can build power plants and support SUBs that we also wont have the people to mann.STAND UP AUS ,reclaim nation.

[wolfstriked]

Heheehe Silly Loe ya

[deathqb]

even the kangaroo is still "WTF mate?"

[wolfstriked]

Spain is a peaceful country,why you want to attack them?I am Spanish and can tell you that they will welcome you with open arms.They are not a warlike people either so leave alone.And the ship was built in a collaboration between Spain and Aussie,just finished in Spain.

[briansuck]

nice, keep spending like there is no tomorrow, raise the tax, Carbon tax everyone.

[ooljimboloo]

now this is a ship

[melbournefan101]

@ooljimboloo this is the stupidest idea since that roman emperor decide to elect a horse consul.

[ooljimboloo]

@melbournefan101 you make no sence

[melbournefan101]

@ooljimboloo it's the most useless hunk of metal ever devised. does that make sense to you?

[ooljimboloo]

@melbournefan101 your to dumb to even try to reply to you have no idea what this is even about kid.

[ooljimboloo]

@ooljimboloo ur just to dumb to even try to reply to kid you dont even know whats going on

[chenyl0525]

An air craft carrier that doesn't carry fixed wing air craft? Hmmm..... den why build an air craft carrier if aust doesn't require one in the first place? Contradicting statement.

[CarbineKiller]

@chenyl0525 he said "like an aircraft carrier"

[chenyl0525]

@CarbineKiller Ahhh.... Like an aircraft carrier? So.... is it not an aircraft carrier? -__-"|

[MrGuineasaurusrex]

Who needs war?

[Savipalooza]

We don't need an aircraft carrier; just a ship that can carry helicopters.

lol

[VMATT500C]

This might be a good time to attack Spain.

[sidDkid87]

Pardon my ignorance, but why is an Australian ship being built in Spain???

[VMATT500C]

@sidDkid87: I think China was busy.

[sidDkid87]

@VMATT500C LOL! Both comments about China being busy and attacking Spain - LMAO!!!

[VMATT500C]

@sidDkid87: Bush and Obamanation, are the cause of my dementia. 

[T1meW4st3d]

Well i was going to say "all the better to bomb brown people with!" But this might actually be used to do some good with. Cheers.

[SnickerSGames]

It's titanic all over again.

[tanello2]

[dnch]

@kieferbutters australia army people for example?

[kieferbutters]

@dnch alrighty then

[Makkymc]

everybody has an accent, shutup about it because you do even though you say you don't. Everybody grew up with that language and believe its normal. Everybody's different

[iwishicouldsk8]

Australia goes to war?

[quasarthecat1]

Where are the holes for the oars?

[bcmalreadythere]

Wohoo! Lets waste more hard earnt tax payers money on war mongering!

[nickthestick04]

That is an escape ship for a American Naval Ship

[lamborghinimonster33]

If I was Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates I'd buy one of those

[emospadez]

proud ? you didnt do jack shit, its the spanish ship, you just buy it

[STALKERstealth090]

[AppleMediaEvent]

Who thinks this thing just looks like a metal Noah's ark?

[PaintingHeartsBLACK]

oh no Australia's loaded lol ;)

[TheVargr]

It has a very strange bow.

[Bearsdad2]

Woo, I always loved working with Aussie's but this 'converstion' could ruin that. Ahh, no.

[katoyushiromitsu]

I bet you any amount of money that ships got a built in BBQ

[melbournefan101]

1:06 when he said that i spent the next five minutes screaming at the top of my lungs "YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" If we have military leaders like that Australia is fucked!

[Pvjinflight]

@melbournefan101 Where would ya need some aircraft carriers? I mean no one is being mean to you aussies.

[Achaventures]

@Pvjinflight Defence forces are great symbol of nationalism. Nobody don't need to be mean to aussies, but they still can get involved in missions with their ship, just like USA and EU.

[TheTuktuk42]

@melbournefan101 Its okay hes a former defence minister haha

[melbournefan101]

@TheTuktuk42 fucking hope so. that guy is fucking clueless. our navy was 5 times stronger 40 years ago. can u fucking believe that?

[TheTuktuk42]

@melbournefan101 I can believe that tho i shouldn't or we're all fucked when something happens, especially without aircraft carriers

[melbournefan101]

@TheTuktuk42 we had two carriers in the seventies.

[yazza7000]

wooooow i didnt know australia hadan army i suddenly feel so muchmore loved 

[hayharut]

[kamikazeboy123]

@Mojolightnin never will!Iim not being a busybody. but respect is worldwide.so yeah.u know what i mean unless your a five year old kid

[kamikazeboy123]

@Mojolightnin i don't recognise your english.learn to respect other people.you ant the only ones living in this planet.

[dancingferrit]

@Mojolightnin shut up u dick head im not saying your dumb... im saying ure a dickhead

[Mojolightnin]

@dancingferrit You illiterate moron, it would be "you're" a dickhead, not "your" a dickhead. It looks like "YOU'RE" the dickhead, Dickhead.

[dancingferrit]

@Mojolightnin r u trying to be a smart ass?

[Mojolightnin]

@dancingferrit Are you trying to be a moron, or does that just come naturally for you? I am guessing the latter is the case.

[dancingferrit]

@Mojolightnin

A: DON'T BE RACIST TOWARDS AUSTRALIANS WE HELPED U GUYS WIN WW1 AND WW2

B: DONT BE A SMART ASS BECAUSE U WILL GROW UP TO BE GAY

C:......... FUK U

[GalacticEarthling]

@dancingferrit Just randomly butting into your conversations, but you have terrible comebacks

[dancingferrit]

@GalacticEarthling thats fine

[TrangulumAustrale]

@Mojolightnin you're one angry racist. grow up.

[TrangulumAustrale]

I think after the fiasco of the australian built submarines in the early 90s i believe, the Australian Gov wasn't taking any chances with Aussies building our next warships again lmao

Fact is, Australia with all its natural resources and talent, should be building their own Navy ships

[TrangulumAustrale]

@Mojolightnin you are one foul mouth racist

[GnosticHumanist]

We should begin hearing it's motor here in Sydney when it reaches South Africa.

[hurro67]

Sorry I did have to laugh at "super ship" considering a 27K tonne ship in the British Navy is considered small. The new Queen Elizabeth carriers for the British Navy are 70K each.....now that is a super ship!

[GnosticHumanist]

@hurro67

Us Australians aren't really warlike type of people, lol.

[MrRazzeldazzel88]

@GnosticHumanist might not be warlike but we can fucking get it done when we need to.

[tehBLAX]

@GnosticHumanist ???

[MusicIzMySavior]

@GnosticHumanist except when u murder the indigenous people of australia

[GnosticHumanist]

@MusicIzMySavior

You're actually talking about the British Empire. Australia didn't exist then. Idiot.

[binaway]

@hurro67 Britain hasn't had a ship that large since the Hermes was sold to Indian in the early 1980's. Britain is building 2 Queen Elizabeth class carriers but can't afford any aircraft so what is the point and on completion may sell one of them to India.

[LittleBlue424]

@hurro67 Cool story bro

[TheUshankaBrothers]

1:23

"An extremely proud day. Proud because we wasted so much money and time on a military asset we'll never use and even if we do it'll get cruise-missiled in a second, so basically, we want to feel like it wasn't a massive waste of everyone's time."

[TerdFergesson]

Spain makes the best Australian helicopter carriers, bar none.

[Mojolightnin]

@TerdFergesson only TWO things that ever came out of Spain - steers and queers

[blze0001]

@Mojolightnin Oh look! A troll in the wild!

[baijanmew]

what does it do?

[thehouso]

why not make it in australia, we have the facilities and the workers?

[Melville21]

So why is it being launched in Spain?

[milkel79]

It carries helicopters which are much more useful against submarines than fixed-wing planes are.

[wilde1]

is that a fucking Ark? does the austrailian ruling class plan on escaping from austrailia on an ark? what the fuck is that thing?

[FlAmErSz]

1:25 hitler .

[PinkLederhosen]

@FlAmErSz Lol, yep I see him.

[Ex7reMeFx]

@FlAmErSz I thank you my friend! I CRACKED UP ON THAT GUY LMAO!

[iNtErNeTLAMA12]

I am suprised that how something so can big so uninteresting

[TheWonderboy1999]

@killerman778 AHA

[BlameAuntJemima]

THAT THING CAN TAKE THOUSANDS OF HITS... from water guns.

[joewhatthehellman]

First day in combat.....Ship sinks

[joewhatthehellman]

why did the new Australian navy build glass bottom ships? - So they can see the old australian navy! ha im awsome

[44Static44]

@joewhatthehellman So wrong just so funny :p

[SmedleyDouwright]

Why wasn't it built in Australia?

[RIXLAZZZ]

lol they dont build there own ships???? THAT HAS TO BE THE WORST THING IVE EVER HEARD!!! WEAK

[iNtErNeTLAMA12]

It would be awkward if they shampain bottle that was hit against the ship destroyed it

[ghostfire1234]

@iNtErNeTLAMA12

you mean champagne...

[iNtErNeTLAMA12]

@ghostfire1234 Gj for spotting the error you should be an english teacher of something

[ghostfire1234]

@iNtErNeTLAMA12

no you just need to spell better...

[MilkeyCocoa]

@26Keano1 they made a giant white flag launcher bahahah

[THEMSASBOYZ]

Holy shit, How many bbq`s could you fit on that fucker!, Love to the Auzzies!

[iNtErNeTLAMA12]

I would lol if on the side it has written on it "Maked in China"

[FantasticBob7000]

Why was this boat floated in Spain?

[pilchardman101]

@FantasticBob7000

Very perplexing conundrum. maybe because it was built there. . .

[FantasticBob7000]

@pilchardman101Nah.

[FantasticBob7000]

@pilchardman101 That's a likely story. I suggest a greater conspiracy.

[ao10s]

This ship will be destroyed by the U.S. Navy.

[pilchardman101]

@ao10s

why ? oh yeah, i forgot americans kill people for no reason, my mistake.

[ao10s]

@pilchardman101 Yeah, we do.

[SmedleyDouwright]

@pilchardman101

The reason is secret.

[Mojolightnin]

@pilchardman101 Right, unlike the ignorant limey cunts with green teeth who sit around sipping tea and wanking each other off to Elton John records. I bet there are not a dozen toothbrushes in the entire disgusting shithole of a country.

[chrisn0224]

8,1,2 

[chrisn0224]

press 8,1,2

[sonoforion]

The Main reason behind a foreign ship yard being used is down to security, as this ship will host “JSF” JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER and Australia is too far away from allied port of significance to ensure that its new ships capabilities are hidden from spies, Also if Aussies are that worried about the military, then with the reduction of British commonwealth assets and china being said to overtake the US technologically by 2013 and economically 2020 then is it not time for the “ADF” to invest in WMD.

[FalloutZombie2010]

┌∩┐(●_●)┌∩┐ AMERICA FTW!!!!

[painpopping]

@FalloutZombie2010 hey now america and australia FTW we are in this together. lol

[FalloutZombie2010]

@painpopping Damn right we are

[FlashyBandit]

so your going to carry AIRCRAFT on it. so how is it not an AIRCRAFT CARRIER. explain to me how dumb you get.

[DJSchousen]

Really...? A new war ship? How about a new spaceship. Achieve something for humanity instead OF KILLING IT!!!

[omly85]

why isn't this being built in australia??

[zeppirl]

@omly85 they wanted it built within the next decade thats why lol

[omly85]

@zeppirl...we've been building ships since the 1830's..we built all own submarines...cockatoo island shipbuilding yard has been operating since 1913,we built the HMAS success,HMAS vendetta,HMAS yarra,HMAS wewak,HMAS warramunga,HMAS toowoomba,HMAS toobruk,HMAS stuart,ALL 5 armidale class boats,HMAS perth,HMAS parramatta,HMAS paluma,ALL six houn class boats,ALL four adelaide class missile frigates..we have the skills & the know how obviously...we've built them for 37 decades lol:)

[zeppirl]

@omly85 to be smart and funny il reply by saying yes thats about 20 ships in 37 decades by the info ye gave me so il stick to what i said to start with they wanted it built within the next decade lol :P

[omly85]

@zeppirl..we built all ships before 1913 for the british crown,we built a lot for them,it wasn't till 1913 that the RAN built them under the australian flag,we buitl 20 boats for the brits.however we built all 59 of our current fleet & when you consider we only have 14,000 odd saliors that a very good record. i just didn't list them all cause it's large number..well for a nation thats only been around for 220 odd years since federation..were doing very well.a ship takes 4 years to build not ten

[LordNelsonHere]

@omly85 Because our contractors would stuff it up and you don't want blow outs on a major project like this and we've never built and Aircraft carrier Spain has and isn't bad at it.The Air Warfare Destroyers we stuffed that up keel block was the wrong size. Those shit box Collins class junkers we can't man and will be tossed out for new subs soon. Aircraft buy US, Conventional Subs buy German, Nuclear Subs French or US, Tanks German or US, Surface ships British, US or German.

[slabooo]

"We do need a very large ship". Nice one dickhead

[omgitsliamfromutube1]

i only watched this because i thought they would of said shit as a mistake

"they have just lauched the worlds largest shit in to sea"

[zasca1te1di]

JUAN CARLOS I is the best

[MrSovietMudkip]

this is australia?... WTF where are the awesome accents, they sound american.

[calculatorboyqwe]

@MrSovietMudkip Haha really? I'm American; they sound pretty Australian to me. Pretty lightly, though.

[MrSovietMudkip]

@calculatorboyqwe yeah me too lol, i guess i kinda expected everyone there to have awesome accents like in the movies.

[818pip]

@MrSovietMudkip Not all of us have accents, haha, Americans sound way different I believe.

[turbomoonie]

why dont they just call it a cruise ship and get over it.

[TheGreatDefective]

"We don't need an aircraft carrier, we need a ship that similar to an aircraft carrier, that can carry helicopters and planes."

So.. You want an aircraft carrier.

[satojinnthehero]

@TheGreatDefective No he wants an LHD

[MrTheGnomez]

@TheGreatDefective "Won't hold fixed wing aircraft" Not bein a dick mate, just pointing it out =P, have a nice day.

[supashot1990]

@TheGreatDefective uh he said helicopters not planes....

[traingunner]

@TheGreatDefective He didnt say Planes but still I get what you mean lol

[MrFattyfatfatboy]

@TheGreatDefective its not a carrier.

[inconsistanttruth]

@TheGreatDefective no no no no no you don't understand.. we don't want an air craft carrier.. we want a ship that carries planes and helicopters...

[MrMadKath]

Because australia are going to war (Y), what a waste of money -_-

[garyojlai]

...So it's more like a huge transporter more than a war vessel?

[TheWonderboy1999]

Im suprised they didnt launch it in a lake, ZING!

jk

[feeltharythym]

australia doesnt need no ships, they need some more kangaroos!!!

[eattedpudding]

oh ya they dont need an aircraft carrier

[1elgalle1]

sorry my bad english

[1elgalle1]

Norwegians are also our customers, and almost all European countries has a fine reputation Australians have a good warship modern reliable and secure Spain has been making warships over 500 years the Spanish ships that were built before Australia existed as a country

[NPC514]

Why was it in Europe?

[TheCharlie359]

@NPC514, Because if you listen it was built in Spain.

[NPC514]

@TheCharlie359 Oh okay. I never caught that.

[ThisIsMrNeil]

Can I add another "mate"?

[Elltrixer]

By Australia they meant Britain.

[TheCharlie359]

@Elltrixer, What do you mean, "by Australia they meant Britain" ?

[MrPoontang4me]

HMAS canberra? sceriouslly they cant find a name better than the biggest geographically hole in australia?

[gnarkillkicksass]

@MrPoontang4me It's named after the former HMAS Canberras, including the one that was sunk by the japanese with most of its crew killed.

[codynieman]

ha the US Navy has 11 aircraft carriers, and countless ships similar to the size of this thing. The US gets a bad reputation in alot of ways but when it comes to sea power superiority there is none greater

[wattlebough]

@codynieman The US also has a population >300 million people, with a GDP of >13 trillion USD, and an annual defense budget of >$600 billion, that's why. US Army >500,000 full time troops, USMC 180,000 troops, US Navy ~400,000 personnel, and USAF ~280,000 Personnel. Been a long time since I've seen the exact figures, but they're in the vicinity of what I've given.

ADF Annual budget $22 billion AUD

[codynieman]

@wattlebough well that sucks for australia

[wattlebough]

@codynieman Kind of does, the beauty of that is while we don't have the F22s and the Virginia subs, etc, that cost so much, our boys are as skilled with a rifle as anyone in the USMC's 24th MEU.

[Kirkzzy]

@codynieman Ummm.. what does this have anything to do with an LHD being launched? Way to be the typical American and comment randomly on something going "AMMMMERICA IS AWESOME!!!!".. jeez we've heard it enough times, we know it.

[codynieman]

@Kirkzzy yeah.... dont forget it bitch

[spamulike123]

why was it built in spain and not ausralia.
