SUBMARINE SURFACE

[waterman1976]

this looks like it was filmed with a calculator

[gloveriix]

great vid check mine out

[rmachayes]

I called the James Madison SSBN627 Gold home for 4 years back in the late 60's-early 70's. We once did an emergency blow from below 100 feet. That was quite a ride!!!

[ZamolxisReborn]

oh, no!

i took a shit, and it surfaced...

[TheJrida]

This is Chuck Norris when he get out of the jacuzzi

[legoguyfilms]

this was shot from a heli right? because if I didn't know any better, I'd say that was a small, 3 person sub.

[basslinedan]

@legoguyfilms Ha, no that's most definitely a 150m long, 15,000 ton, 130 man sub. ;)

[fatkat357]

I've seen these rapid surfacing videos before, and I always have he same question - how do they know where to even begin pointing the camera? In this one, they sort of have to zero in on it (quick thinking though) but in others it's as if they knew exactly where the sub would broach.

[kittensof1984]

@fatkat357 Well generally the people shooting video are probably on a tender meeting the boat. When the boat surfaces to meet a tender, it's generally communicating where it will do so. The boat just doesn't pop up; they look around before they do so.

[Fender869]

@kittensof1984 Yeah , for sub training and courses, there will be specific locations for them to pop and usually the ship(S) assisting or operating with, will hold radar contact andc

omms with them for the excersize. Otherwise, you would correct. No one would know to be in the right place at the right time. Those guys are well equipped with sonar systems to monitor the ocean around them and surface when they predict no one will be in range to visually identify them. no radars = hard to track

i've seen these things go down the clyde from the naval base there as they are deployed,quite an impressive site.

[goodstuffbunny]

iron whales, heroes of the sea.

[fawley144life]

WHOOOOO YAAAA!

[nathanbrett15]

what type is this?

[luffbraguy]

Vanguard class. British Royal Navy.

[Megabrain20]

@luffbraguy yes Vanguard class (like which had collided a french SNLE last year)

[TAC8808]

for some reason i thought the aft end surfaced first lol,

[carlasecret14]

A sausage whale? I thaught they were a legend? but now I belive they exists...

[roudy1689]

wow i like this submarine subject, not one miserable comment! you ask a question and get a civil answer, thanks all

[luffbraguy]

The second "sail" is the tailfin.

It's a Vanguard class bomber - British Royal Navy.

[o3941]

I was under the impression only aircraft were bombers. He said Boomer, as in, nuclear missile submarine.....Think Red October and the rest of the Typhoon class.

[luffbraguy]

Only Yanks refer to the as boomers.

The best navy in the World (Her Majesty's Royal Navy) colloquially refer to them as bombers. :)

[pentacleboy]

I apologize for my ignorance but I've never heard of a sub with twin sails. What might that one be? Also am i incorrect in thinking its a boomer?

[calisaetia]

at 00:25 the part closest to us is the tail, the furthest part is the bridge sticking out.

[pentacleboy]

oh ok thanks

[EventualPilot]

She's a beatiful boat, a lot like our Ohio's. Props from an American to the Brits serving on those beauties :)

[pathos1983]

Modified emergency surface?

[zoeylilcuds]

That succer came out of nowhere!

[mikeyhoggy]

[nkx1]

I think it's a Scotch Gaurd actually.

[cook123kid]

[ponycar98]
