On Board Britain's Trident Nuclear Submarine | Full Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Armed with multiple thermonuclear warheads, Britain's Trident nuclear missiles are launched from one of four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. The Trident nuclear missile system is also carried by fourteen US Navy Ohio-class nuclear submarines.
There have been 172 successful test flights of the D5 Trident nuclear missile since design completion in 1989, the most recent being from the USS Rhode Island in May 2019. There have been fewer than 10 test flights that were failures. The most recent being from HMS Vengeance, one of Britain's four nuclear-armed submarines, off the coast of Florida in June 2016.
The Royal Navy operates their Trident missiles from a pool shared with the Atlantic squadron of the US Navy Ohio-class SSBNs at King's Bay, Georgia. The pool is 'co-mingled' and missiles are selected at random for loading onto either British or American nuclear submarines.
The UK has not had a programme to develop an independent delivery system since the cancellation of the Blue Streak in 1960. Instead, it purchased US delivery systems for UK use, fitting them with warheads designed and manufactured by the UK's Atomic Weapons Establishment. Under the 1963 Polaris Sales Agreement, the US supplied the UK with Polaris missiles and nuclear submarine technology. Nuclear-capable American aircraft have been based in the UK since 1949, but the last US nuclear weapons were withdrawn in 2006.
In 1982, the Polaris Sales Agreement was amended to allow the UK to purchase Trident II missiles. Since 1998, when the UK decommissioned its tactical WE.177 bombs, the Trident has been the only operational nuclear weapons system in British service. The delivery system consists of four Vanguard-class submarines based at HMNB Clyde in Scotland. Each submarine is armed with up to sixteen Trident II missiles, each carrying warheads in up to eight multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs). With at least one submarine always on patrol, the Vanguards perform a strategic nuclear deterrence role and also have a sub-strategic capability.

Now that's a sub ✌️🇬🇧👍
Captain and the lads are a credit to our Royal Navy . Great people and thanks
No idea how those boys do that. But I am glad they do. If the last two years have shown anything , having HMS Vengenance (or her sisters) on the loose in the oceans depths is our best defence from the mad men.
I think if you join the navy, you have to do a bit in subs.
You dont
@@TeddyBear-ii4yc being a submariner is mostly a choice, however some people are forced into the silent service during basic training if they're a bit undermanned
@@verynormalperson7003 I think that's what I tried to say. 😉
I joined the Navy to become a submariner about 10 years ago. I got to basic training and at that moment realised I'd made a terrible mistake. The disapline and the reality of spending 6-12 months in a metal tube just sent shivers down my spine. I left HMS Raliegh after 10 days. I'm not ashamed of it. The military just wasn't for me. I've had a very good career in civilian life and actually get to see my family. Nothing but respect for the men and women who can hack it. It's also interesting to see what could have been. I don't have any regrets and DEFFINETLY made the right call.
If the reason you never stayed in was because of disapline then that says your mentally week it’s an excellent job I loved it
@CalRapz has nothing to do with my levels of disabling. I'm a successful small business owner now. The military just wasn't for me what so ever.
Capt. Mason seems a very reasonable, rounded kind of guy. His matter-of-fact, reasonable, laid-back nature reassures me. As he states....he's only the 'trigger guy'.
Thank you very much for sharing, appreciate it a LOT 👍
Salute from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, T.
They are very brave and we are lucky to have them
When I grow up I want to be a nuclear missile ❤️
“Slowly slowly catchy monkey” - the captain of a Trident nuclear submarine
Wow, this is such an amazing documentary!
Man you are courageous , l would never be in a Submarine which is already on a mission
Wonder if they every get tempted to do a Brian Blessed style DIIIVE ?
Not sure how wise is it to make a documentary of one of your most important ships 😅
Its important people know what their taxes are paying for
With nutters like Putin (to name but one) this submarine is one first class reason to have a nuclear deterrent. A very good documentary, with grateful thanks from me. 🌻
This aged poorly. Second trident missile test failure lol. I'm a British citizen and I'm rooting for Russia. The West is an absolute joke that has lost all common sense. The UK is not the same country I once loved and immigrated to all those many years ago which is sad but it is what it is.
@@niloticshadowRussian military has overwhelmingly failed in Ukraine - who is really the joke 😂.
Hundreds of thousands of dead, and a loss of material and equipment that will take many decades for Russia to recover.
Please return to Russia where you can dickride Putin more freely, and maybe even get mobilised for his glorious campaign.
@@niloticshadowthen go to Russia
@@jamescharlton4915 Last time I checked, it's difficult obtain a permanent residence there. Also, it would mean I would have to go through a culture shock.
I'm already feeling homesick for a country I currently live in so I can only imagine how much worse it would be if I moved abroad. It's not as simple as you make it out to be.
@@niloticshadow go fight for Russia they will let you in then
The dumbing down of British television never ceases to depress me. Or maybe that’s the point. Maybe it’s just all about some nice working class lads doing a job. The commentary, however, comes very close to parody.
What do you mean? I thought this was a really fascinating documentary and I learned a lot
It's the music frequency, gives me heart palpitations and a foggy feeling ❤.
Yeah this almost was unwatchable.😂
Nothing wrong with the commentary. You need to get off the drugs mate.
I have to believe it's on purpose to avoid any classified info being given?
Crunch crunch 🙌
Has anyone commanded a sub while dressed as Batman?
I doubt that seriously, but I have trolled for salmon in the straights of Juan defuca, Washington off of a Ohio class submarine heading out to sea and caught a salmon a bit small but I seriously did....
Yes,myself,quickly removed in a straight jacket and writing this on a phone smuggled into Broadmoor
I’ve done it dressed as Wonder Woman and I’m a bloke.
Dry Your Eyes!.......Try an Army 6 Month tour, pre deployment plus training, 9 months + to a year!
Its no more secret after watching it
Any particular reason why quality of British Television documentaries has crashed to such an extent, Defence of the realms covered same class of submarine well over a decade ago. Yet amount of dumbing down here takes my breath away.
This isn't a documentary, it's an extended news report
"It reminds me of the international space station." Cos he's been on that too! It's like his target audience is primary school kids!
don't mess with Britain.....
4 months later: second trident missile test failure. Sounds about right.
[Somewhere in the Atlantic]
Chief o the watch
Sir?!
Set course to Denmark
Sir? !
I m going to rehearse....
Rehearse Hamlet
There s no better place
Aie Sir, shall we sound GQs?!
NO! 😒
Set course and advise the crew....
Private School (PS) access to military opportunities and secrets isn't what we pay our taxes for. Military personnel should have equal opportunities regardless of their education or wealth.
The thing about a sub in war time. One hydrogen bomb detonate in the general area and fish bait city
Foreign warship spotted with a set of binoculars but hasn't been seen by satellite or anything else? Cobblers. And if the sub is on the surface it's already compromised anyway. Purely theatre.
It cannot be that secret...
Top secret hahaha
If Britain is allowing this to be filmed. Dreadnought is already in service. Sailing around the seas. Know one knowing she’s there.
And the bloody uniforms gots to go. It's kinda hard to be serious on a sub around the sailors wearing that uniform.
I say yank are you in the bloody navy 😮😮😮😮😮😮
What uniform?
submarine base in one place is not a good idea with enemy missiles already pinpointing it. never put all your eggs in one basket.
All the eggs aren’t in one basket though because a British nuclear submarine has been at sea 24/7 since 1969
Shut up lad
I don't agree with this documentary, what would stop Russian agents waiting around faslane for the lads on this documentary and blackmailing them somehow. Like special forces these lads should have their identities hidden. Just my opinion.
Before the boat dives she drives down the Loch.
MOD know there are eyes on her,once she dips who knows what way she goes?
Daft comment mate.
i know full well what it feels like getting screwed out of a cruise you were dying for - sucks - can see the dissapointment on his face
I hung with brit bubble heads when I was being a bubble head, there more drunkerds than anything, they keep a blue bucket a sign they drink to much......
Here from “his” video on Rumble 🤌
