10:02 The UK makes its own nuclear ballistic missile submarines too, though it buys American missiles to mount its warheads on. It had a nuclear triad but decommissioned the other two “legs.”
Yes, US and UK share some nuclear sub designs, and of course share the most sophisticated ICBM, SLBM missile in the world. The Trident is by far the best in the world, Russia or China can't build one as effective as this one, not even on land!
Exactly. Really surprised me he didn’t include UK….
The UK does not have a large landmass and is fairly weell poipulated. That limits the number of airbases and missile silo bases in the UK, giving the then USSR a small set of targets. While not cheap, nuclear subs posses less of a security risk than land bases. You don't have to worry about a couple of drunks thinking it is a good idea to try to get into a sub 100 meters plus in the middle of the ocean. Same can't be said of bases. LOL
The deal with Australian will be a sub of British design.
American tech used but not the family jewels.
UK’s subs are some of the most formidable boats on the water. The only other subs that come close are likely swedens subs….I want to see Sweden step out for Aukus. Their tech would likely be the key to severe dominance from The Soviet and Chinese fleets.
Too bad they didn't buy the French conventional submarines along with the nuclear submarines because we could have had the glorious acronym of "FAUKUS" meeting in San Diego 😂
Submarines were never, ever irrelevant. The US operates 10 nuclear carriers, but it has around 75 submarines of various types, including 2 new Virginia boats every year.
People think they aren't important because they don't get a lot of screen time, but then again that is the point.
There are two kind of vessels. U-boats and targets.
I guess that statement rings true to people who only get their military knowledge from movies. Submarines aren't as flashy as other ships and don't work for the camera well.
People don't realize just how damn big they are either. I've seen one sectipn at EB being built - they are MASSIVE when ya see it outside the water.
Submarines are the corner stone for all nuclear powers safety. One submarine can basically destroy any nation thrice over.
They are just out of the limelight yet do a lot when it comes to everything from deterrence, intelligence, and special operations.
They don't call it the Silent Service without reason!
If you are going to have a special on submarine, then you probably should address the fact that although China may have more ships on the water pound for pound, we have about four times as much tonnage so you can count every canoe. They have floating, but it doesn’t make them a battleship.
😮😮
in the next 20 years China is bound to become Superpower if all trends continue. They are using long term planning knowing they can build in peace as no one will ever attack.
When they count our ships they don't count our mothball fleet which I almost as many active ships
Lol no the tonnage is soon gonna be 2 to 1 then 1 to 1
@@Myanmartiger921 more like 3 to 1 we have 20 or 21 super carriers only 11 active

When you imply that the Chinese Navy is superior to the US Navy based on hull count, you lose all credibility. Navies aren’t measured in hulls they are measured by tonnage. By tonnage the US Navy is over three times as large as the Chinese Navy. It is larger than the Chinese Navy and Russian Navy combined. In fact the US Navy is larger than the next six navies combined and four of those are allies.
Interesting fact by hulls North Korea’s Navy is over 20% larger than the Chinese Navy.
The Taiwan Strait and South China Sea isn't that deep - @300ft in a lot of spots. That limits the ability for a submarine to hide from helicopters and ASW airplanes. Even less water to evade a torpedo homing on you.
Doing a submarine combat mission there could be a death mission for the crew.
That explains why a U.S. sub hit a stealthier object in the region
The explains why the U.S. have delegates that role to their proxy in the area, Australia. America is quite willing to fight Russia and China to the last Ukrainian and Australian.
@@StoutProperyou forgot to the last japanese and last south korea, and filipino
All those countries would choose death to the last man over being ruled by China.
The Subs aren't for attacking through the Strait. They are intended to bottle up the PLAN surface fleet inside the first island chain. Combined with a blockade at Malaccas, the plan is to create a kill box in the SCS.
At about 4 minutes in to this video, you state submarines had sunk "BATTLESHIPS"? Being a bit of a naval buff apart from WW 2, I have never red of a WW 1 submarine sinking a Battleship by torpedoes or their deck gun which was their primary weapon.
As to WW 2, three Battleships where sunk by submarines: HMS Royal Oak by U-47, HMS Barham by U-331 and IJN Kongō by USS Sealion.
Now if I am error please correct me.....but I find today so many people can not tell the difference between Warships and Battleship, a very distinctive 'TYPE' of Warship!
Man I swear you're the king of audience retention, I always get hyper focused when I watch your videos. 😂
Same
Me too. He does it so well
Same for me
The Soviets had a series of horrible accidents aboard nuclear subs, from their heavy water reactor leak.
Submarines have been the most important thing at sea other than aircraft carriers since their invention. You may have thought they weren't important, but they have been the entire time
As with any other type of weapon there importance and effect has fluctuated as submarines and weaponry to counter them have advanced.
There are two kind of vessels at sea. U-boats and targets.
Aircraft carriers are as relevant as battleships. They will be sunk within days if total war breaks out.
Submarine and Anti-Submarine concepts are far too reliant upon Orbital-Space.
Australia had a prime minister who wanted to bully China at the behest of the US. Australia banned Huawei from its plans for 5 G were among 14 complaints China had against Australia. Eventually China instituted a series of economic sanctions against Australia, high tarriffs or banning Australian export to China. The Australian people then voted prime minister Morrison out. AUKUS is really more about getting Australian tax payers to send money to US defense contractors more than anything else. The Subs from AUKUS won't arrive till the 2040's and will cost ~300 billion over the next few decades. A huge amount considering Australia's 1.5 trillion GDP. In the ceramony at the start of the AUKUS deal president Biden famously forgot the name of the prime minister of Australia, PM what's his hame.
Lets see how much different this is from Johnny Harris's video
In your introduction when you spoke about the 'Turtle" you should have also mentioned the 'Hunley' which was a manually operated submarine created by the Confederates during the Civil War, and if I remember correctly, it sunk a Union ship during the blockade. A very interesting story in history if you've never heard of it, and well worth a mention here, for early historic context. There was even a movie made about it, that tells the basic story.
Had to stop watching / listening because of the bleeping music. Not good at all for the brain. Overly done talk versus music. Skip the music instead of spamming bleeping music!
Yes music is too loud. Dear John, I would turn down the gain on music by 50%.
agreed, music was a little much on this one.
Great video, but could you please talk about the software defence prime palantir?
are you an investor in anduril, or in any of the companies that invested in anduril? either way, i think you should state it when boosting a company because I understand that you are an investor? thanks. good content though (and you've got a very unique voice)
Germany amd japan had the best torpedoes in ww2 our torpedoes sucked and theirs a lot of stories of our torpedoes u-turning and sinking the ship that fured it
Ever heard of the Skval?
Top speed +200 knots!
Supercavitaton rocks!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA-111_Shkval
Just for fun. The first official sub ever used in a combat mission was during the civil war. It killed more operators than enemy ships.
The CSS Huntley, the first submersible to actually sink a ship, deserved a mention at least. Good presentation otherwise.
@@Prolificposter definitely! The poor thing was terrible and sunk from the explosion it created. It wasn't the first time it sunk
They used black men to invent all this yet relegated them
The Nuclear deterrent has an acronym M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction.) This is an appropriate acronym because you would have to be totally stark raving bonkers to even contemplate their usage. As Jason discovered in War Games, the only winning move is not to play.
"China stronger than the Soviet union ever was" lol.
Was searching for this comment…
Since we are at submarines… Soviet Union produced 240 nuclear submarines, China produced how much? 10?😀 30 years later..
Aircraft carrier? Soviet copy:)
Nuclear weapons? 2% of what Soviets had 60 years ago?😁
Tanks? Soviets 50k, China 5k.
…
Busnell failed to attached explosive under the British ship because those days the British ships are clad with bronze under the bows. 😂 he couldn’t drill the damn thing..
Actually they were copper sheets nailed in place, same effect, hard to hand drill holes thru!
@@michaelsnodgrass1808 This is where we get the saying 'copper bottomed' implying that something is built to a higher standard. Interesting the copper sheets were put in place to slow down the accumulation of weed adhering itself to the hull which would become a trailing skirt of substantial mass slowing ships down, and causing massive lee way. The copper was also there to try to prevent ingress of a creature called the 'torpedo' worm (which would bore holes through the ship's timber) a century or more before torpedoes were invented.
John your content is well researched and presented in a way for everyone to understand. Keep up the solid work man, stay true to yourself and you're set bud.
It's really not, or he's intentionally being misleading by omission. For example, his comparison of naval power by entirely focusing on number of ships.
Imagine if I told you that my hostile neighbor has 100 weapons, and I only have 1. Obviously I'm in big trouble right?
Well, like John, I'm forgetting to mention that he has 100 knives, and I have SAW light machine gun, a steel reenforced door, and metal bars on all my windows.
That's pretty much exactly what he did comparing the number of Chinese naval ships, to the USN.
You're talking about Johnny Harris right?
Macron is a weenie. Morrison was 100% right to axe the FR sub deal…Delivery was not only “behind schedule,’ FR kept raising the cost of the (old tech) subs…
No, he missed a big chunk on the history and origin of the 11-Dash lines following the 1945 Potsdam Conference in which Stalin, Truman, and Churchill decided to return the islands to China. Get the full facts.
@@sirkl4272 strong argument
The multi decade plan for the Navy is called Ghost Fleet. Essentially, half the navy would be autonomous - small, medium and large ships and the same for subs. Leave the carriers, mini carriers and other ships manned. I really like this plan and believe it could be extremely effective - imagine a carrier group commanding forty, mission specific ships/subs. Some are doing recon, some laying mines, some searching for mines, others providing Missile defense, some conducting anti submarine warfare, some moving supplies, etc. It's brilliant and the costs of those autonomous ships are far lower due to the fact that there are no people and they're mission specific (hopefully either nuclear or full electric as well but nothing said on that). There's also been an idea thrown around of a "Democratic 1,000 Fleet Navy" - India actually made hints at this. Essentially, all the major democracies, think NATO, Japan, Aussies, India, etc, would chip in a couple hundred ships and coordinate in order to fully secure the global oceans. I love that idea personally. It would Essentially ensure secure trade routes between free nations using oceans which America is becoming less and less willing to do (understandably). This could be a wonderful new model to replace the solo-American ocean security model that's been occurring since Bretton-Woods. Anything that brings all the democracies in better cooperation and coordination with military functions is a win in my book - hopefully it does not take a Chinese invasion to create it (it might - it took WW2 for Bretton Woods).
Also, my English heritage obliges me to correct one thing in this video (it's a wonderful video as always) - The UK is the world's most important island, followed closely by Japan and the Aussies
Why is UK the most important island. You need to back that up with some context unless it’s just your opinion?
As always, context is everything. and John Coogan distilled perfectly. Thank you for putting this content for everyone to watch.
One thing to understand about subs is that while they are really good for a launching base for nuclear missiles because of it being invisible from satellites, but as you mentioned they aren't fast or maneuverable compared to conventional subs. Also, they are much louder which makes it easier to be noticed by sonars which kinds of sucks as a sub and if you don't plan to put nuclear missiles, It really doesn't have much merit. So there isn't much rationality purely from a military standpoint for Australia since they are not planing to arm the nuclear subs with nuclear missiles. I think the fact that Australia geting the capability for US and UK subs to get maintenance is rather much more important since those countries would be able to launch nuclear missiles from the middle of the Pacific Ocean would allow them to project much power in the Indo-Pacific region. Countries don't just make military decisions just because of military reasons. Sometimes such decisions are politically motivated and we should not ignore such points.
There is one rational point for Australia to have nuclear powered subs; range! Nuclear powered subs can operate across much larger distances without needing resupply. Australia's nuclear powered subs will easily be able to go from their bases in Western Australia to the Straights of Malacca, and have plent of time to run any missions there. Diesel-electric subs just don't have that endurance. Australia can militarily independently cut off the main trade artery to China with nuclear powered subs.
Diesel electric subs have to surface constantly every few days so it’s not comparable to nuclear powered subs being stealthy.
It is so SICKENING to hear that boilerplate again, “Beijing considers Taiwan to be a renegade province.” Doesn’t anyone have the professional balance to mention what Taipei considers China to be? Similar to Ukraine there needs to be a policy of “Nothing about Taiwan without Taiwan.” They have been a participating member of the modern world economy and an open society much longer than Ukraine has. Time to give Taiwan the respect and fair hearing they have done so much to earn.
When do we ignore history? When is history significant? When is history rewritten?
When you are the victor. Taiwan lost.
Good content John 🎉, do you think deterrence could be used in the tech space?
I think it would be really cool to see a new version of submarines be made by the military. A different category then the usual design. One that is meant for way more intricate maneuverability and visibility. Still go with the modern advanced nuclear energy options. Just instead of only the large bulky no visibility submarines. How about some new subs that are highly maneuverable. Sure maybe they can't go to the deepest depths, but they will fill a different role where they can move around and do things and go places that no other sub can..
I think the extremely high water pressure fundamentally limits the maneuverability of submarines. Even aircraft need to deal with wind resistance. Now try turning sharply when then pressure is 100 atmosphere… or 1,000 atmospheres!
@@Ryan256 i totally understand & hear you out about "How much they must respect & engineer around pressure resistance" if they are designing Deep diving vessel's. *But i was trying to point out how it could be beneficial for the military to make Nimble, maneuverable, small agile vessels that dont have to go to extreme depths. Where the military could use them in places, environment's, conditions that other under water vessels couldn't go. (It could be utilized for stealth/reconnaissance missions, etc.) *If they're doing deep dives, that should be with a completely different vessel. But it would be cool to see them create new designs for different engineered niche uses because imo the "classic submarine seems pretty outdated except for very particular uses"
They should give a few of them octopus arms, that would terrify people
@@benmcreynolds8581 Oh, I see. Your idea is more feasible if you're talking about a very small vessel built around a single person operating at shallow depths.
Still, water is more like molasses than air. Think about the maneuverability of a really expensive speed boat vs. a cheap single engine light sport aircraft.
I don't know enough about radar/sonar to tell you if the stealth aspect would be relevant, beyond visual obscurity. I imagine the enemy would quickly adapt to detecting them (because fast and maneuverable vessels generate lots of noise), but they might be effective if developed in secret and suddenly deployed in large numbers.
The other question is weapons payload. It's hard to fit lots of torpedoes in a tiny vessels.
Laser beams or other exotic compact weapons maybe?
Or how about ill-tempered seabass with friggin' laser beams attached to their heads?!
Sorry... that's an Austin Powers reference 😂
The Japanese had human-operated suicide torpedos during WWII, but I think we're both not talking about that! 😂
My guess is what you're describing would work best as an unmanned AI powered torpedo. No human lives would be put at risk and thousands of them would be cheaper than an aircraft carrier.
Even better would be an unmanned torpedo that could loiter at great depths, then suddenly ascend for a sneak attach when an enemy is detected. They could work as a swarm and share sensor information. As soon as one detected an enemy, all the others could swarm in for a concerted attack. 🦈💥
Hydrodynamic is dynamically different only hyper (super cavitating) torpedoes have turning issues at pressure by having a rough skin that drags a small layer of water friction is reduced water and water slips by easier than the smooth metal and water also sonar stealth is enhanced with a layer of air creating an air envelope the torpedo slips in but turning is problematic
More proper Names for the Seas:
For the Ocean water near Vietnam,
We should call this the "Vietnam Sea".
Not the misnamed: "South China Sea". As China already claimed the (North) China Sea.
This way, everyone in the world will understand the Vietnam legitimate claim to their water.
Thank you.

Well, you forgot about autonomus nuclear submarines that might be new era in submarines. One of them is russian "Poseidon" or status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System. This is submarine with nuclear bomb inside, that goes autonomus among the oceans and can blow up. It is designed especialy for targeting city near the ocean shore and poluting water with radiation. It scares much, because they dont need to acsend or change fuel or other staff. And also this thing is less able to be spoiled. Very dangerous thing. But luckely none of them yet had been launched
autonomous nuclear submarines. . .armed with 4 tubes.
Can lurk on the bottom undetected for months, years.
Small and hard to detect, they have been placed around
the oceans near major world coast lines. I mean will be.
Giant carriers are sitting ducks for airborne drones, jetskis
and submersibles. They might be able to fight off
hundreds simultaneously but not thousands.
After Ukraine, asynchronous just took on a whole new meaning.
A kid masters the video game of drone warfare and take out a tank.
Australia does not want nuclear weapons. This was mooted during the late 1960s, but the research and engineering to build Australia's own nuclear weapons were then rejected (it causes a nuclear arms race with it's large neighbors, in particular Indonesia). The nuclear powered boats bought or acquired by Australia is for sinking ships, other submarines and dare it say it, fire cruise missiles at land-based targets.
are you not mixing up nuclear propulsion and being nuclear armed? serious question, as I thought they were different concepts. it seemed like you were talking about being powered by nuclear at the beginning, due to diesel having too many problems, but then you start talking about the missiles it carries. I was actually looking forward to finding out about how these nuclear engines(?) work.
and whether we could have nuclear powered planes, ships, tanks, etc.
if any one could explain if there's a difference, or just correct me if i mixing things up, i'd be grateful, thanks
Believe it or not, it is Theoretically possible to have nuclear powered aircraft. the US came up with some designs in the 60s
The main issue, is size. making a small nuclear reactor is a bit beyond us, especially when the most effective shielding method for radiation requires thick materials. Subs, and large aircraft, are about as small as we can make reactors, at the moment, while also allowing the crew to remain safe.
Also... reactors work basically the same way whether on land or at sea.
Use fusion reaction to create heat. Use heat to make thing spin, typically turbine, typically using steam. Spinny thing makes either electricity, propulsion, or both.
Downsides... well. in the case of an aircraft, they kinda would spread radioactive material around them if they ever suffered an accident and crashed, let alone if they were shot down.
The most important island in the world regarding tech* yes. If we lost it to China it would be devastating. But if we lost the UK to China, that would be more impactful to the economy right now.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Bingo 🎉
The Soviet Union was a minor economic force that poured far too much of its money into its weapons. It was never an equal of the United States in any way except for its weaponry, and even that has been called into question.
Same as China, I'll talk. No walk.
@@slimbride777
Unfortunately, the whole world has made China extremely rich, and 90% of the money has gone to their totalitarian government. They can afford to buy lots of weapons, and they are not as dumb as they used to be. We are fortunate that totalitarian regimes have almost always produced militaries that are handicapped by the fear of taking initiative or deviating from the plan provided by the autocrat. But even a handicapped Chinese military with hundreds of thousands men, is still one that can take out a lot of our fighters before their government decides they have had enough.
You Americans are so desperate to try to show and tell everyone that nobody is on your level, which we both know isn’t true, the USSR then had you all shitting yourselves, and china right now is doing the same thing
Wow never knew subs were so important.. What about aircraft carrier subs like the Imperial Japanese tried to create at the end of WW2.. Guess you can use multiple attack drones instead of Manned Aircraft these days 🤔
Yea John...the Music was too much!! i barely could hear or pay attention too your story!! there was so many different musics man!!💯👍turn it down! thanks!
He said the “Dive LD” was a bit smaller than the Ohio class submarine. He then went on to say the Dive LD was just 20ft long….. ummm that is a WHOLE LOT smaller than an Ohio class submarine LOL. The Ohio class Submarine is in excess of 550 ft brother, Did I miss something there?
I always can't wait for you to post new videos every time. Please do more
US should send more manufacturing and tech to China.... so smart 😂
Australia has the right to defend ourselves and we do not need any license from nobody to protect our territory. Nuclear submarines are conventional.
Can your voice be any lower? Smh
In the late 80s, Canada considered purchasing nuclear submarines to defend its arctic sovereignty. US and Russian subs would make visits in its territory unannounced. After lengthy consideration, Canada decided to purchase 4 used Trafalgar class diesel submarines from UK instead. In 2004, HMCS Chicoutimi (the first of 4 subs) made its way from UK to Canada. It caught fire along the way, resulting in one dealth and eight injured.
Wow I did not know this

You took a *lot* of inspiration from johnny harris video lol
The notion that modern nuclear submarines are "silent" is also a bit of common misconception, in fact, they're noisy little buggers and require some of their crew to use noise-protection gear. The noise level in the engine department can easily reach in excess of 100 decibels which significantly louder than your average subway train.
Inside can be noisy when not on noise-alert status. Outside, if you were blind and in the ocean, the Virginia, Ohio, and especially the Sea-Wolf classes could pass 10 feet behind you and you would NEVER KNOW. You are highly misinformed sir. American submariners haven't worn padded footing since long ago. We are allowed tennis shoes on watch as well as a hat of our favorite team if we choose. But it is not for noise at all. Strictly a morale thing. Motors hang on springs from a shelf which hangs on springs from a wall, which hangs on springs for the module, which is suspended within the pressure hull using hoodoo voodoo. It's not springs, but dampers that are specifically tuned for whatever equipment it will be in conjunction with. Modern nukes can run on low power with NO equipment running, with cooling water circulating strictly from natural drafting- hot rises, cold sinks.....
I will never speak of an American sub engine room. The nuke plant is quiet, I assure you. When backup engines have to be started up, they can be noisy, but they are last resort equipment or run in port during routine testing. That's the only place you'd ever need hearing protection lol. And don't even try to say you're a submariner- no matter what nationality you might be, anyone who even makes a peep about decibel levels even in the kitchen would be court martialed and do time because other than a few officers and the captain and the man that vibration tests everything 24/7 with his handheld stethoscope/oscilloscope, nobody else knows decibel ratings because it's beyond need to know and is most definitely classified Top Secret.
You pointed out that post-World War 2, the USA and the USSR were competing with each other technologically and in other ways. You then show a picture [11:31] of the British computer - the Colossus, being operated at Bletchley Park by ladies from the WRNS. In fact the Colossus was the world's first digital,semi-programmable computer which first saw service in 1943 several years before the earliest American rival.
Pretty sure subs are important to an island mid sized nation like Australia that depends on shipping

Your videos are very educative,john🎉
As an Australian, I have to say for defence we shouldn't have just Nuclear subs. Automomous subs should be something we should also have. It's efficient, probably cheaper, could sink adversaries like specific vessels off of Taiwan and our mainland. (If we were to go to war). Which could also serve to protect our country from invasion. I mean if Mexican Cartels can make their own cheap subs, why can't we make better? Way cheaper options for our military?
Cheap subs are loud and have to come up for air. In a world of stealthy nuclear subs anything less than that against an adversary is just a liability.
It’s significantly more nuanced than this man. A lot of it has to do with geopolitics. The world is in the process of becoming multipolar after many years of a western hegemony. It’s a good move imo
@@Daydreamave Do you know anything about autonomus submarines? Are they loud machines? This ain't sarcasm, it's a literal question I have as I am not sure.
@@lukewilliamrimmington I actually don’t. But I help build the Virginia Classes. 🙌🏼
@@Daydreamave That's sick! Would autonomous minisubs do the same do you think in wartime scenarios as well or would they be more like reaper drones for stealth like the US has?
The Ohio class is to be gradually replaced by the Columbia class beginning in 2031.
Your facts are uncontroversial and true, but I question a small bit of the context of presentation. Please be more careful.
There were submarines around n the Civil War -- the famous Monitor.
NOT a submarine, it just tended to act like one in moderate to heavy seas!
Actual quote from this video at 1:09 "After a generation of irrelevance, submarines are emerging...". Kind of a laughably stupid statement because nuclear powered ICBM submarines have never been irrelevant.. like ever. Period. And hunter killer subs have never been irrelevant either. They've always been a significant threat to countries.

Why are you ignoring Palantir?
I almost agree with china on some issues. Like just this week they cut infront of one of our ships and planes. We dont want chinese battle ships crusing off our coast so why do we do it to them. Just imagine a russian or chinese desroyer only 100 miles off the west or east coast. We the people would raise heck about letting them that close. But we do it every other week to them.
The problem, is the area China considers owned by it, that aren't.
@@Destroyer_V0 i understand but i for one dont think a 20 mile shore buffer is right. No nation should be allowed to have warships within 500 miles of another's coast line to me
@@evrydayamerican That literally doesn't work for any nation in and around the south china sea. If they all had areas of ocean they controlled 500 Nautical mile zones? Lets say, china and vietnam. Their areas of control over the ocean already butt up against one another. THEN, you take into account china making a bunch of islands in the south china sea, and measure, again, 500 nautical miles from each of those? NO ONE HAS ANY CONTROL OF THAT SEA BUT CHINA, because they can enforce their control of the zone, and no one else can. Is that fair? That China can, theoretically, sail their ships right up to the coast of another nation and invade them cause they own some islands within 20 nautical miles, let alone 500 NM of the coastline of them?
Or how about europe? The danes with their control into and out of the baltic sea, and the mediterannian with a bunch of small islands in it controlled by larger nations, would again, mean certain nations can bully others into sayin noooo, this is MY SEA, LEAVE. Same goes for anyone trying to pass the UK.
Don't get me wrong, I see your point. Warships have long range weapons, the further they are kept away the better. But it is literally impossible, without breaking international codes or asking for permission then (which may not be given if another nation feels strongly against what you're doing), for certain nations, lets say france, to move their fleet from their northern coast into the Mediterranean, if they needed to! Same goes for the US in fact, trying to move their fleet from the east to west coasts, if other nations, again, decided to extend the area of ocean they own such as mexico, and brazil.
Lol yea it’s true that China has more ships than the US Navy does. But A LOT of those ‘ships’ are nothing more than patrol boats that can’t stray far from the coast. TONNAGE is a better descriptor of the size of one’s Navy. That is how big your ships are and the number of them you have. The United States still right now to this day has TWICE the tonnage that the Chinese navy has. And the Chinese economy is In real trouble right now. It’s on the verge of collapse. I think they have been feeding the whole world a line of bullshit. That economic miracle we all heard so much about is looking more and more like they will need a religious miracle to make it happen. Meaning they aren’t as big and bad as they want everyone to think. We thought Russia was the 2nd biggest baddest army in the world. Now we know that Russia is the second biggest and baddest Army in Ukraine. I think the Chineese are more of a paper Tiger. There is exactly zero 0 chance they invade Taiwan. That would be the largest most complex military operation in human history. They can’t pull it off. I doudt anyone including the United States could pull it off. China hasn’t caught a war in like 80 years too. They have no one with the expertise to do this. And if they did invade the Taiwanese would blow up the chip fans that China is after guaranteed. They would invade and at the same time cut both of their feet off. The US has invested 54 billion and is currently building 3 chip fans over here. TSMC is building one in the US and Intel is building 2 more. They will be able to manufacture the most advanced chips in the world. South Korea can manufacture these chips so can Taiwan and soon the US but not China.
Great video. Thanks for all your hard work! Can you turn down the gain on the background music?
How is China more powerful than the Soviet Union at its height? Just in military terms, this is absurd. The Soviet Union commanded 40,000 nukes; China has fewer than 500. The Soviet Union was part of a formal military alliance featuring half the planet; China has no formal allies and a handful of loose ones. The Soviet Union had the world's second most powerful navy and was fully blue water; China is at best the world's 4th best navy (far behind the US, Japan, and UK) and 90% of its naval ships can't leave the South China Sea. The Soviet Union had jets and submarines that were nearly technologically equivalent to the US; China's jet technology is estimated to be 15 years behind and its submarine tech is estimated to be 30 years behind. China might someday get there, but to pretend that it's anywhere close today is absurd.
A major turning point in submarine technology occurred around 1940 when the US Navy investigated a way to locate downed pilots at sea.
What they found was a "deep sound channel" that carried sounds for thousands of miles with almost no signal loss.
A serious study of the unexpected ocean acoustic environment followed.
A related achievement was the use of digital signal processing (DSP) to eliminate circuit noise in the analog equipment that previously examined sound signals to locate the specific sources & movements of underwater items.
A digital signal processor immediately transforms every detected signal in an sonar array into an array of digital numbers.
This conversion is done with Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs). From then on, all signal processing is done by using mathematical, rather than electronic, transformations.
The advantage we had over unsuspecting Soviets lasted until a Navy Warrant Officer, Johnny Walker, sold them the secret.
Russians have since learned to make their huge submarines disappear.
We have nuclear subs and President Biden signed a deal with Australia to provide them with for nuclear powered submarine, but within 10 years and my gosh, we can do them in a year!!!! Joe gardener still living in the Cold War and people like myself born in the late 60s remember the Vietnam war in the bowl for and Iraq and Afghanistan and dessert warfare is different. The United States could’ve defeated the communist in the Vietnam war, & McNamara was a business genius.!!!! However, as a defense secretary, he was horrible and what happened after the Tet Offensive in 1968 what is that criminals that got sentenced to prison had their choice between going to prison and going to Vietnam and of course they went to Vietnam and McNamara had a major draft through the president Johnson and Nixon and he was taking people into the military. He couldn’t even passed the ass fab they were referred to as McNamara’s idiots!!!
If you look at the very first battle of the Americans, fought in Vietnam, which was a hard-core battle 395 American soldiers up against about 4000 in VA and God knows at least 1000 or more Viet Cong, and they were farmers living in South Korea, and they were farmers by day, and they were communist fighters at night. Occasionally they would come out during the day in mast Road if the NBA was getting their asses weird and then when they were getting beaten, they would runoff into Cambodia because the Americans wouldn’t or couldn’t go across Cambodian lines. They would regroup in Communist, Cambodia, and get resupplied and go back through the door and tunnels. They’ve been working on for 40 years and stay hidden from Americans. With the satellite technology we have today we could’ve easily pinpointed their tunnels from space back then and easily put toxic gas or smoked them out anyway to get them to run out of the tunnel because they had to get out and get oxygen and then once they were out of the tunnels, they get shot at and that would’ve been the most humane thing to do because I don’t believe in using any kind of gas.. smoke them out and they will come running out just like they did in World War II and we use that against the Germans.
The thing with Vietnam overall is that the American spirit just wasn’t worth it and thankfully, even after the Vietnam war and Vietnam went to the communist on Americans inevitably pulled out in 1974 or 1975, but I wish they had drawn out faster and just pulled out because For the last five years of the war, the presidents have been limiting the number of troops going over to Vietnam and we didn’t have enough over there and sadly it just lead to a lot of unnecessary deaths and injuries on the American side and simply because McNamara was a terrible defense secretary, but a brilliant businessman and technology guy.
Just recently chairman Xi met with some of the Americans, who are billionaires like Bill Gates and Elon musk, and a couple others and it’s funny how Xi calls Bill Gates “ an old friend”😂😂 china is friends with nobody and they hate Americans and they hate Japanese and they hate Black people and they really hate the whole world and are even prejudice against other Chinese living in their country if they’re not Han Chinese!!
I’ve been seriously thinking about transferring and moving from southern Virginia to South Dakota because up in that area is where our largest bases are, and try and has been trying to steal nuclear technology from our biggest bases, but I would love to go up there and get a civil service job And work with the defense industry!!! I have lupus and it’s not like with arthritis and fatigue. I can do a lot of physical work, but God willing as long as my brain I might fingers keep going I wanna be able to do whatever I can.
This channel seems confused about why nationhood needs military dominance. Military dominance ensures that military bullying will overpower every other form of 'management' and decision-making. Non-military methods involved in 'democracy' are not good for physical military threats. Democratically 'elected' leaders, including Hitler, know this. Covid-19 is just one method for military tactics to ensure the 'stability' of the existing systems of governance.
When AUKUS was created, the three major nations involved are not directly being impeded by who owns the South China Sea. There are well-established international laws and regulations on the use and ownership of these waters. The directly involved nations of these international waters, however, do need international protection from national and other pirates who threaten the smaller nations and nation-states.
Japan made these military mistakes in World War Two. So now Japan cannot yet 'protect' itself from national bullies as easily, alone. Hence we created AUKUS.
A generation of irrelevance? Where have you been?
Not in the US, that is obvious.
The nuclear sub fleet of the US is the most important part of our Triad, our strategic nuclear deterrent.
Subs have NOT been irrelevant since the 1960's when the SSBN was first created.
Attack subs, which are what Australia will get, have also been relevant.
That is why the US has them, and why Australia getting them is a big deal.
Saying that subs have been irrelevant is just asinine.
10:48 During the colonization, other countries like India, Iran and the rest were drowning in poverty, hunger thanks to European and the corruption they created! so I think the definition of the world was stable is arguable! like for whom it was stable? European people only? most of the Chines were slaves or workers, African were slaves! 12:00 11 September is questionable, many also believe it was an inside job! 12:14 These terrorist groups like Taliban were created by US to fight Soviets! they even made movies about in US! this project started by US, these terrorists are founded by big countries to fight each other or affect their influence! specially in Middle East! the Spark was done by US creating Terrorists in Middle East! the very first one is Iranian Coup that started Islamic Revolution! ISIS was a project by these countries as well! these Terrorist Groups are so advanced at organizing that only big rich courtiers can manage them! 13:33 there is big Island in South Chines seas that is covered in the video there! it's very helpful strategically that owned by China right? why not mentioning it! Taiwan is not the only Island there! see in 14:59 Sadly there will be war at the end and mostly weak countries will be the first to suffer!
Get ready China 🇨🇳 and North Korea and Russia 🇷🇺 and the rest of the world God and the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 of Heaven will put mankind in there place forever you will never see it coming checks mate.
100 years old technology is still technology...a musket could still kill....im just objecting the use of this phrase
All this without mentioning AIP and new Batteries, check Singapore's latest submarines, and AIP is substantially quieter than nuclear...
[10:02]
The UK is a part of the nuclear triad also, according to ChatGPT.
My question is to what extent these subs in Australia with the 330 Billion investment might be countered by Chinese drone technology. I just look at the efficiency of robotic-based tech in space, combat drones, etc vs manned fighters and think really if the Chinese want to counter the threat to this technology it probably won't be as hard as people think.
while China still building 1 or 2 bases in south china sea.. United States has established long ago over 100s military bases/points in Pacfic alone including south china sea, where it is not its backyard. I don't like Chinese government/politic but watching (this) videos from some western view point of own interest is also an insult to our intelligence.
Submarine just got more important ?? Where have you been living ?? Outside of an Air Craft Carrier, It's the most lethal warship in the water for many decades now !!
Hey John and team, can you change the highlight color of purple? It’s really hard to read the headlines when it’s black on dark purple. Thank you for all of these videos!!!
We need to take heed of Paul Keating's concerns about Aukus.
if you understand geo politics and not only as americans will have you believe you will have realized that the only country which is more likely to invade Taiwan is the USA, and not China, China has nothing to loose even if Taiwan where to build Fabs in the USA, its the USA which is at risk of loosing its tech superiority and its the USA which is likely to invade Taiwan in order to prevent this. China has nothing to worry about since its their scientists who are working both in Taiwan and USA, they will therefore develop their own tech back at home, to get around the tech they already developed in USA which in turn the USA has taken as their own, and in turn is now using Proprietery rights and sanctions from using.
China has near zero reasons to ever invade China. and wont do it, let alone because its their own people working there and living in Taiwan.
China is ahead in a couple technologies but they have stolen a lot of those technologies. And their navy has more ships but most of them are small coastal ships they cannot sail much farther then their own shore. Tonnage wise the American navy dwarfs theirs. China does NOT lead in hypersonic technology lol. The United States has made a lot more progress in this field. First off all ballistic missiles are hypersonic, the American patriot reaches Mach 5 and it’s an old missile. The hypersonic missile the military is afraid of is a maneuvering hypersonic. No nation has a fully functioning maneuvering hypersonic yet.
A lot of people think that we're going to beat China because of our military spending is just so much more but in reality that's our greatest disadvantage.
Let me explain!
Because China is the aggressor they can pick when and where to engage so if a theoretical war were to happen it's not going to happen anytime soon and because of the amount of waste and world focus in our military we spend a lot more than China. Even as China keeps increasing its military spending throughout the next decade we will have to do the same to keep ahead of China but at a greater cost. That's where China has the advantage.
This is what happened to the Soviet Union, they just couldn't keep up with the military build up of the United States.
Australia is actually a continent. Macron the socialist admirer of the CCP may be replaced with the conservative Marine Le Pen. That would be very good for France.
12:53 the Chinese navy counts every single canoe and fishing boat as a ship in their navy.
America has more tonnage and advanced technology Ike the aircraft carriers and nuclear submarine fleets.
1:10 "A generation of irrelevance" hahaha
Bro, anyone who thinks that the very bedrock of our world order is "irrelevant" isn't worth listening to about this subject, sorry.
Such quality content
"famously there isn't much oxygen under water"
uh.. but there is, because water is mainly oxygen. In fact I'm pretty sure there are more oxygen atoms in water than in the air :)
Why can't Taiwan integrate with China in the same successful manner that Hong Kong has? Hong Kong is doing very well with China and no one in Honk Kong is complaining.
I don’t know why but I have a big interest in submarines more than all other military vehicles and even above NASA they are just amazing
I agree. The music on videos is a nonsense.
Like those old cowboy's movies that i love are all contaminated with such an annoying music that sometimes i have to turn the sound off.
As a retired O-6 hopefully the Senate will block this. Australia is not capable of operating and maintaining them.
