Size is not an advantage for a submarine. It is a disadvantage. The larger you are, the easier it is for you to be detected for example by sonar. So boasting about the size of the submarine is.. not very smart.
Certainly there is a need for this sub class as part of the Triad defense. Given that most countries (friend and foe) still have most of the thermonuclear assets they had in the cold war. But putting it near the coast of an enemy (ie. concealed) is taking a giant risk as it could be detected (even accidentally). There are other equally good detection abilities that the US military has.
It would be a shame to waste this elegant platforms weapons against a dictatorship, third world & fourth class country(NOT nation) like IRAN, as well as waste of the USA's hard earned taxpayers money. Hopefully, they will repent their evil ways & start behaving like a civilized country (right. when cows fly).
haha i love it when people wite big ass messages and make em sound so technacal to make them selves sound so smart and know all about the sub, ITS JUST A YOUTUBE CLIP!!!!
its funny that even 150yrs after the industrial revolution we are still using steam powered ships. and dont go telling me that its nuclear powered cuz its not. the nuclear reactor boils the water which makes steam which turns the blades.
I worked on this sub a few time during the last year of my enlistment, 2006, while I was on shore duty acting as the Squadron II NSSC towed array coordinator. Amazingly advanced submarine. Most of my time in I was a Sonar Technician (STS2 SS) on the USS Miami.
The video didn't exactly explain how this submarine is different to previous modern submarines. Torpedoes, missiles, silent shallow creeping... this has all been around for decades.
@TheARMAProductions yes but the first military submarine was the turtle, but in many ways the uss holland was the submarine that started the diesel submarine race, while the uss nautilus started the nuclear sub race, the first submarines including the drebble were manpowered and very unpartical, but the drebble is considered the first submarine
@TheARMAProductions was it built no, the turtle is considered the first submarine, the hunley was the first sub to sink an enemy ship, and englands first submarine was hms holland which was copied from the uss holland

@beamla Because it is an American made sub , not a British one. Ex: We do not normally refer to length in in kilometers / meters etc, we use miles or feet in most cases. It would just be better narrated in our lingo.
It all starts with a idea . Ever hear that term loose lips sink ships. lets not give away to many ideas. just enough info to use as deterrence. I think that may be the biggest benfeit of subs. letting our ennmies know that just off their coast is a sub that could tear them up helps keep peace.
HELP! I served on the Greatest boat ever, The USS Minneapolis St Paul as SK3(SS) Freeman. I am seeking any info on any crew members who were on the 1991 north pack during the storm of the century. contact me asap please. one2rock@hotmail.com
@MILLMANTV1 Both the Astute and the Virginia class are impressive submarines. However, the most capable submarine in the world is the Seawolf class submarine. Now that is a really impressive submarine. 8 Torpedo tubes, a little over twice the test depth of either the Astute or the Virginia, a bit faster and a bit quieter than either the Virginia or Astute classes. It's a shame the US only decided to build 3...truly a beautiful machine.
@leinadthem It really came down to ease of modifying. Navy is trying to make it so that boats don't take decades to get retrofitted and require a large amount of hull cutting and rewelding. Virginia is a bit cheaper less capable but easier to work on than the Seawolf.
@jrm21386 Don't be ridiculous. The Astute is far superior to the Seawolf class. In stealth and operational capability. We invented submarines and developed the nuclear technology for them. America's attempt to censor export of our OWN research back to the UK wasn't too successful.

@jrm21386 The Brits did invent Radar in fairness. Up til then Donitz and the boys were annihilating allies in the water. And it was German scientists who came up with Nuclear technology and rocketry, remember that. And the Soviets beat *everybody* into space and to the moon .....
@Nautilus1972 technically the brits were just the first to use radar in a military conflict, and rocket tech came from the us, namely robert goddard, and the first nuclear chain reaction took place at the university of chicago, and the us is the only country to put a man on the moon
@packr72 i think u will find the brits invented radar not just used it, and rocketry and nuclear fission were german inventions, with the help of austrians, using the discoveries made by the brits.
@TheEternalUniverse no single scientist or country developed radar, and robert goddard built the first liquid fuel rocket, yes german scientist discovered nuclear fisson, but the first nuclear chain reaction took place in the us and the us was the first to develop nuclear weapons, and submarines
@Nautilus1972 no the first sub was the turtle, and the first submarine to sink an enemy ship was the css hunley and namely the uss holland was copied by the britsih royal navy
@MILLMANTV1 Most of the Virginia class's capabilities are classified. So, really you will never know if your above statement is correct. One thing to consider though, is the fact that there will be 30 Virginia class subs and only 7 Astute. Not like it matters though, as the US and UK will always be on the winning side/same side in any conflict.
America's arch-enemy has not disappeared at all. It has moved inside the United States with the soviet jewish mafia, (the so-called "russian" mafia) who came under the false flag propaganda of helping the "suppressed soviet jews" in the 1970's, when they massively immigrated from the looted and corroded soviet union, starting to bring down the US from within.
You are correct, submarines are called boats. Sometimes called just "sub" but most often it is called a "boat", as in U-boat which stands for "undersea boat."
lol, i dont think its the end of the world weather its ship (which is more logical) or boat (which is a technicality), i was probably feeling shitty when i posted the original comment and now everyones stuck with thumbs down. its a sad day for youtube :(
i am impress with US weapons. defence budget 600billions this year US will spend 15billions on high speed trains for the next 5yrs China will speed 300billions
the military industrial complex is getting out of hand
In my book "Modern naval combat" (by David and Chris Miller) edited in 1986 it says +30 knots submeged for the 688 class.
So, it would be very funny, if not a tragedy, if the newest and what is the pride of the USN, the VA class, couldnt reach a minimum of 30 knots while submerged.
In my opinion, the operational depth of the VA class ranges from 300 to 400 meters, perhaps 450, the crash depth exceeding 600 m. Im quite positive 'bout that.
Yea, sure, so we had to wait at least 20 years to know what is the the real operative and crash depth of the VA, no way. I want to know it right now, but i donno how to find it out.
You're right, they are allways speaking about +20 or +25 knots submerged....funny.
Yea, and that 25 knot top speed is the same top speed theyve been giving since the 1950's Skipjack subs. But ur right, that kind of info is REALLY classified. My friend served on the USS Hampton. He told me that even alot of the crew didnt know the true limits of the sub. He did tell me that it could dive MUCH deeper and go MUCH faster than they will ever publicly admit. Maybe when they finally retire the Virgina subs we MAY find out.
At 4.42 is a SSN, an LA 688 class nuclear fast attack sub, NOT an SSBN (ballistic missile) as it was said by the speaker. What a morron.
By the way, the VA class is simply a superlative sub, but i miss so much the horizontal stabilizators mounted on the turret that were the "signature" of the LA class.
I agree. those bow planes looked cool mounted on the mast of the LA subs, I think it was a problem breaking through ice though, so they moved them on the Seawolf.
I think you meant the greatest nation on Earth, with the best technology, because only an idiot would compare the U.S., the most generous superpower the world has ever seen, to the islamic terrorist sponsoring nations.
@dbviewer5 The best technology, you mean the one with Stem cells, Chobham tank armour and designing the F35? That's the UK. Superpower? GENEROUS? You're delusional.
Hi m8 something tells me that " they " would be very stupid indeed to let that information out of the bag eh! - The Canadian Military is not short of certain " stealth " abilities, of that I am sure!! It appears to be the way to go in all aspects of Military hardware etc..
Its named after Carter because Carters was the only U.S. President who served as a Submariner (even though he never completed Nuke training and ended up only serving on diesel boats)
I knew that, but he jumped ship. then went on to nearly destroy the United States. he continues to this day to support America's enemies, spread enemy propaganda, & generally act like a douchebag. I'm glad he never got to be in charge of an actual live reactor. saved the navy a terrible disaster.
yes rugby, the actual diving depth is classified for subs like this. also the plant type and speed is classified. if you notice, throught the video they do not go near the engineroom of the sub. the reason is because everything in the engineroom is classified to the outside world. as well they do not show you the propeller at all. oh and not everything that they told you about the sub is correct. i cannot tell you anything about it but lets just say the power plant is amazingly powerful
@rugbynimbus Why all this parroted American "best at everything" rhetoric? You inherited it from the British, problem is you aren't the British so it is stupid to say it. The spearfish torpedo is superior.
yeah that's true lol ;) still seems like the understatement of the century considering that some modern British and german attack subs manage 400m with ease. Still a badass sub though!!!
The navy need new toys and the industries need new project. So they justify using chainsaw to slice a pickle.

As far as i know the 688 with the tipical fin mounted planes had/have no probs at all in breaking the ice.
They have just to be turned vertically.
I miss them really a lot, they give to the sub a more "killer", fierce, look.

I wanted to say, below, "...we'll have to wait at least......".
hellcat3 2 years ago
In my book "Modern naval combat" (by David and Chris Miller) edited in 1986 it says +30 knots submeged for the 688 class.
So, it would be very funny, if not a tragedy, if the newest and what is the pride of the USN, the VA class, couldnt reach a minimum of 30 knots while submerged.
In my opinion, the operational depth of the VA class ranges from 300 to 400 meters, perhaps 450, the crash depth exceeding 600 m. Im quite positive 'bout that.
hellcat3 2 years ago
Yea, sure, so we had to wait at least 20 years to know what is the the real operative and crash depth of the VA, no way. I want to know it right now, but i donno how to find it out.
You're right, they are allways speaking about +20 or +25 knots submerged....funny.
hellcat3 2 years ago
Although i believe it is highy classified,does anybody know what is the real operational depth of the VA?
And what is the crash depth as well.
240 meters is just rediculous.
hellcat3 2 years ago
Yea, and that 25 knot top speed is the same top speed theyve been giving since the 1950's Skipjack subs. But ur right, that kind of info is REALLY classified. My friend served on the USS Hampton. He told me that even alot of the crew didnt know the true limits of the sub. He did tell me that it could dive MUCH deeper and go MUCH faster than they will ever publicly admit. Maybe when they finally retire the Virgina subs we MAY find out.

At 4.42 is a SSN, an LA 688 class nuclear fast attack sub, NOT an SSBN (ballistic missile) as it was said by the speaker. What a morron.
By the way, the VA class is simply a superlative sub, but i miss so much the horizontal stabilizators mounted on the turret that were the "signature" of the LA class.
hellcat3 2 years ago
I agree. those bow planes looked cool mounted on the mast of the LA subs, I think it was a problem breaking through ice though, so they moved them on the Seawolf.

I think you meant the greatest nation on Earth, with the best technology, because only an idiot would compare the U.S., the most generous superpower the world has ever seen, to the islamic terrorist sponsoring nations.
Yup, only a COMPLETE ASSHOLE would do that.
dbviewer5 2 years ago
@dbviewer5 The best technology, you mean the one with Stem cells, Chobham tank armour and designing the F35? That's the UK. Superpower? GENEROUS? You're delusional.

Hi m8 something tells me that " they " would be very stupid indeed to let that information out of the bag eh! - The Canadian Military is not short of certain " stealth " abilities, of that I am sure!! It appears to be the way to go in all aspects of Military hardware etc..

last seawolf sub- U.S.S. Carter (why named after an idiot?) has a huge section that houses mini subs & underwater drones.
kdraper2007 2 years ago
Its named after Carter because Carters was the only U.S. President who served as a Submariner (even though he never completed Nuke training and ended up only serving on diesel boats)

I knew that, but he jumped ship. then went on to nearly destroy the United States. he continues to this day to support America's enemies, spread enemy propaganda, & generally act like a douchebag. I'm glad he never got to be in charge of an actual live reactor. saved the navy a terrible disaster.
kdraper2007 2 years ago
Naming a sub after Jimmy Carter is like naming an Army division after George Armstrong Custer.

yes rugby, the actual diving depth is classified for subs like this. also the plant type and speed is classified. if you notice, throught the video they do not go near the engineroom of the sub. the reason is because everything in the engineroom is classified to the outside world. as well they do not show you the propeller at all. oh and not everything that they told you about the sub is correct. i cannot tell you anything about it but lets just say the power plant is amazingly powerful
maritalwingman 2 years ago
As someone mentioned, actual diving depth is grossly understated for security reasons.
Plus, US torpedoes go much, much deeper than any navy's subs, so I'm sure it'll do just fine when the time comes.

@rugbynimbus Why all this parroted American "best at everything" rhetoric? You inherited it from the British, problem is you aren't the British so it is stupid to say it. The spearfish torpedo is superior.

Best Submarine ever build in America? Why Virginia submarine only dive deep about 240 meters! Can make up to 500-800 meters?
~Great~. Good luck

Virgina can go a lot a lot deeper then what is said just like a Carriers true speed is classified.

Wow I'm surprised that the Virginia can only dive to about 240 meters. Compared to other Subs that seems quite shallow

The unclassified depth anyways.
chanrobi 2 years ago
yeah that's true lol ;) still seems like the understatement of the century considering that some modern British and german attack subs manage 400m with ease. Still a badass sub though!!!
