- Explore the marvel of the 47-foot Motor Lifeboat (47 MLB), an unsinkable force operated exclusively by the United States Coast Guard. Uncover the physics behind its self-righting ability, achieved through a low center of gravity, a high center of buoyancy, and watertight integrity. Join us on a journey into the world of naval engineering and discover why these boats are considered unsinkable.
Delve into the intense training regimen of surfmen; the elite operators trained for six years to master the art of navigating treacherous waves. Learn the intricate techniques they employ to outrun, dodge, and absorb wave energy, ensuring the safety of both the crew and those they rescue. Gain insight into their dedication and expertise as they become adept at avoiding capsizing in emergency situations.
Despite their exceptional capabilities, these boats face a challenge: time. Originally designed to operate for 25 years, maintenance efforts are underway to extend their operational lifespan by at least two more decades. Witness the commitment of the Coast Guard as they ensure these unsinkable heroes continue saving lives at sea for years to come. This is more than a boat; it's a symbol of resilience, training, and unwavering dedication to maritime safety.

THERE WAS ONCE THE UNSINKABLE SHIP.
Ahhh Yes For the Battleships there Was Yamato And for Ocean Liners There Was The Titanic Funny How They Both Ended Up In the Bottom Of The Ocean
There's also the Nazi Bismarck
@@violetxiv367they learnt from past mistakes.
I guess it's in the bottom of some ocean 😂
English engineering has always sucked
Whenever I hear the phrase "Impossible to skin" I remember The TITANIC xD
It was only due to the combined arrogance and ignorance of its designers and owners that the Titanic was declared unsinkable. Since then designers of large ships have used the lessons of the Titanic, and certainly other ships that sank, to design ships less likely to sink. You'll note that the rescue boat in this video is relatively very small, so it's physics is much simpler.
Pretty quickly, I'm sure, they also started putting adequate numbers of life boats and life preservers on ships.
Thank you for sharing with us! 👍
U.S,C.G. I've always had great respect for these excellent folks. 👍🇺🇸
Nice when something invincible is restored to continue its mission.
Very interesting! Thank you!
Decently presented, but one factual error, Coast Guard Coxswains, even those who are registered surfmen, are usually E-5 or E-6 and recieve the same pay as others of similar rank in the other branches of the military. There is no additional pay for being on the Surfman registry. Being on the surfman register is purely a matter of pride.
Also, it should be pointed out that the 47' MLB is nearing the end of its service life - they've been in service over 25 years, and that self-righting surf boats have been in service around the world for around a century.
Yeah, not sure anyone in the military gets paid that much, even with hazard pay.
@@akespt yeah, I really don't know where they got that idea. I was 8 months, and a class at the NMLBS, away from the registry when I got out and went to college. I had already been qualified as a Coxswain for almost a year, and had dealt with surf, and even hurricane conditions far in excess of what they train in at Cape D., and there was no mention of increased pay for getting a Surfman pin.
Interesting Facts😊
Yeah, They thought the Titanic was unsinkable too!
Smart boat
what happens when the tank of air gets a leak as well?
I want one. What's the closest civilian version
*Iceberg wants to know your location.*
Thunderchilds I and II are unsinkable.
Nice Videos
Is this US Coast Guard ship called the titanic?
The roll over will starve the engine of oil ?😅
Release the Kraken 😁😁😁🤣
What if you put thousands of small air balls or balloons in the empty space under the boat. In a big net, then it just keeps floating even if there is crack. Put cages for walking
also operated by Canada’s coast guard.
Titanic was not flip tested 😂
Titanic, Bismarck, Moscow - hint-hint…
Titanic rings bells?
In Jesus name nothing is invincible.
Showing a boat right itself when attached to lines means nothing.
Hello SirI
want to dub your video in Hindi
Parmesan FOR U
[YES] 👍
[NO] 👎
Titanic was "unsinkable". Until it wasn't.
I am sure the Titanic was not flip tested like this.
200K is wrong
Great video, but they've sort of been around in Europe since the 1850's.....
In just 6 years! Is anyone else sick of AI videos?
Sorry Friends, WE have this Technologie since.Years in Germay❗
sorry, thanks for the bragging that nobody asked, they said it's not "new innovation" in the video and said clearly the "technology" have been applied in many countries, it's physics.
