49:32 "K-19, now renamed BS-19". Finally they found a name for her. The Soviet navy never needed an enemy. They had their hands full fighting their own engineering.

This 1 month of no content felt like decades. But was the time waiting for it worth it? Yes. 55 minutes of pure disaster (the content of the video) was mastered to a masterpiece of a video. Keep up this great work!
Your content is tip top, well worth the wait. My favorite channel by a Texas mile.

At 32:25 officer Arhipov is named as a man, who saved the World from nuclear Armageddon. But, actually, it was just a luck, that prevented a nuclear war. When Soviet submarine resurfaced at around 5:00 pm local time on October 27, 1962, Saturday, being in a close proximity to US destroyer and with very little chances to escape from pursuing US naval force, it already had nuclear torpedo charged into front launcher, port side. Other 3 launchers, 2 on the back and one in the front, starboard side, were charged by common torpedos. There were 22 torpedos total on-board , only one of them was nuclear. Submarine was detected by US forces around 2:00 pm, was chased and bombed by signal bombs as an order to stop movement and resurface to be inspected in accordance with Quarantine around Cuba, imposed by US President John Kennedy on October 22, 1962.. On that time submarine was charged by 2 common torpedos on the back launchers and for 3 hours submarine tried to escape US forces. Arhipov blocked attempt to fire 2 back common torpedos during this chase. When, finally, one engine broke and leak of carbon monoxide was detected, submarine was forced to resurface. Before resurfacing, nuclear torpedo was charged to front launcher #1, warhead was activated. When submarine resurfaced, Arhipov, Commander of submarine and signal man with projector went to the deck to start negotiations with US destroyer. There was no intention to surrender Soviet submarine to US forces or admit inspection of it by US forces. When 3 men were on the deck, US airplane approached and fired live rounds in a close proximity to the submarine. All 3 men on the deck rushed down, being convinced that nuclear war already started , next step would be firing a nuclear torpedo to US destroyer ( torpedo had a timer and even in case of miss US destroyer would be eliminated by a nuclear explosion). Commander rushed first, signal man second and Arhipov last. Suddenly, signal man was stuck on the stairs with projector and this situation delayed Arhipov on the deck. He put eye on destroyer and found that it started to send light signals to submarine with order to identify itself. Arhipov immediately informed Commander and signal man, projector was pulled back to the deck and light signal was sent: "We are a Soviet submarine, provide us a free passage". At noon, submarine submerged and flew away. US ships didn't chase it. Submarine, altogether with other 3 Soviet diesel submarines of the Group, returned back to the base in the Kola Peninsula, without executing the military task that was given to them. Previously, this military task was revealed to them in the envelopes of " Dooms Day " that they opened upon reaching designated area in the Atlantic Ocean after leaving base on October 01, 1962 in utmost secrecy. Military task was to all 4 submarines to arrive in Cuba by November 01, 1962. Cruise speed during march shall be. 9 knots. One submarine was supposed to go to Havana port to defend Cuban capital from naval invasion. Second submarine supposed to blockade US base in Guantanamo Bay from sea supplies. Third submarine supposed to patrol northern shores of Cuba, the last, fourth submarine, to patrol southern coast. All submarines were authorized to use nuclear torpedos against US forces in case of invasion of Cuba, nuclear codes to activate warheads were provided, but it was indicated that permission to perform nuclear attack shall be granted to crews only by direct order from Moscow.
Just today I saw a comment on FB saying the TV series was a 'great account' of what happened at Chernobyl. My first thought was to lambast them and direct them to this channel! Keep up the good work!
Slightly related yet totally unrelated topic: You should do a video on the Japanese emergency response to the nuclear attack on Hiroshima. How did whomever conducted the immediate recovery efforts go about orchestrating the emergency response to the attack and how were recovery efforts conducted in both the short and long term?
If there ever was one ship telling her crew to stay away, it probably was K19. Superb content, always loved this story that I got to know after reading an article on cinema special effects and how they replicated the Cherenkov effect glow for the movie.
Amazing work as usual! Even my college age kids watch your videos and have become interested in them(they get bored wen i talk history) One question... could you do a video or 2 on the 3 mile island event? I know its not as extensive but its not discussed much. Thank you again for the great content you take your time to publish.
Say what you will about the USSR. Vis-a-vis their navy, there were countless heroic sailors who sacrificed everything to preserve the lives of their comrades. Heroes, every last one. Respect 👊🏽✊🏽
Its important to remember that those men on the ground aren't so different than us. The leaders and politicians are one thing, but the sailors on that ship are just young men who wanted to serve their country.
@ you and me both! My heart breaks for those poor souls, their families, and the entire population of Everyday John & Jane Qs. 750k, expected to hit 1.0M no later than this coming May. And, paying attention to the constant reports beginning from Day One of putski’s folly, it was bad then and has been worsening essentially daily. As a person, I mourn for all of them. Cheers sir!
Best detailed story of the k-19 I've ever seen! Great job on all your research. With anything about the Soviets complicated to accurately obtain, info compiled over decades of research finally gives the "real story" of how history should record events that paint a totally different picture of how the sequence of real events set up a recipe for a real catastrophic tragedy! Thankyou for putting this story we had never heard, together.🤔😲👍
Ye. Was like catastrophe happened, they fixed it went on. Then catastrophe again, aaand they sorta repaired it and went on. Aaand then things really went sideways .. and so on and I'm shaking my head wondering what the f*#¤ would it take for them to stop it and give up. I wouldn't want to serve on some boat that had disaster after disaster after disaster with radiation leaks, near sinkings, people dead here, then there, collisions, and the list goes on. Tough mofos, singleminded to a fault. Respect, sure, but give it up damn it.
@@noth606 and remember, the CREW basically decided to repair it and the state went with it! If cherno guy is correct in all he is saying here. I lost track but I think it was only the second disaster so they doomed their comrades who came after them. But it seems serving in the soviet/Russian navy is a death sentence anyway.
Very well put together documentary covering so many details often omitted. Absolutely heartbreaking to read the list at end of those on Eternal Patrol due to systemic failures and heroism trying to fix it.
Amazing documentary thank you ! By the way, if you're still interested by submarines stories, I found the accident of the K-278 Komsomolets fascinating. That kind of sub could go really deep. During its final moment, the conning tower was ejected in a attempt to save the last crew onboard, but partially succeed.
I served on a Sub Tender for 10 yrs, and I know a lot about subs. It was common knowledge that service on a Soviet Sub was a 50/50 chance of dying, and deaths and accidents were common and usually went un reported by the USSR, service on one was in the worst conditions imaginable.
One more thing: I never knew that there was a criticality part with blue fire in 1961. I thought that all the people died from exposure to radioactive water.
Dear TCG, Few Americans ( though this is slowly changing ) understand how much of a debt of gratitude we, and the world, owe to Soviet Naval Officer "Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov" Born 30 January 1926 - Died 19 August 1998. At one of the most delicate and dangerous moments of the Cuban Missile Crisis was in Submarine B-59 and was the single vote of three offices that prevented an attack upon the American Naval Blockade of Cuba, such an attack ( under the American Naval rules of engagement ) would have almost certainly been met with a counter strike. and pushed control of the crisis out of the hands of Khrushchev and Kennedy. Perhaps one of only three or four humans in history who saved hundreds of millions of lives and prevented a total Thermonuclear war.
"Their sacrifice was for nothing" well it's the same Anatoly Alexandrov who said an RBMK was inherently safe and couldn't even meltdown...so I would take his comment with a big heap of salt.
Amazing, I did not know at all about what actually happened inside the reactor's compartment when they did connect the water pipe. It is soooo russian x)
Is there a chance you would be able to ake future content on the Andriivka Bay fuel storage facility and the leaks that apparently occured there over the years?
A question has been on my mind lately-simple in nature but seemingly without a clear answer. Where did all the wastewater and sewage in Pripyat go? Did the city have a dedicated water treatment plant? If so, what state is it in today? I'd be glad to hear more about this, thank you.
In terms of sewage treatment, there is a giant waste water treatment plant to the east of the city, at the coordinates 51°24'00.0"N 30°05'34.8"E. To construct it, they had to demolish the village of Khutir Pidlisnyi. Today it is completely overgrown and abandoned.
@@thatchernobylguy2915 I see, it's titled "Filtration fields" on an exclusion zone map. It appears to contain 4 large fields of (presumably) soil. Maybe they utilized it to filter water.
I still don't really understand why it's called Hiroshima, the first target of a nuclear attack in human history. Shouldn't Bikini Atoll be the Hiroshima of the Seas? Or maybe the USS Independence CVL-22?
You just opened a pandora box :) Soviet Navy had numerous nuclear accidents, including one proper explosion in Chazhma bay. I also highly recommend books by Nikolay Mormul, who was a CO on 941 project submarines and was well-connected to know a lot of stuff.
agree but the brave sailors who went into domesday reactor to repair and save their fellow man was heroic in the greatest schemes off things and avoid a possible disaster as well with West possibly thinking this was an attack on them
Just saying, sailors are superstitious for a reason. The sub got a taste for blood during construction AND they tempted fate by not having a woman christen it.
It would be great if you took the movie and looked into it a bit as well. Something like what History Buffs does, if you know the channel. Can make topic with 40k views into one with 400k views and much better retention rate. :)
The conning tower/sail sitting on it's concrete base will go to sea again. 70 metres of sea level rise with climate warming will surely get to it. Always find Soviet lack of fail-safe astounding. They seem to go from cock up to cock up, learning just a little each time. Was this rewarding doco made after the special Ukraine operation/invasion?
I’m pretty sure one of those beetles ended up being worshipped by the underground people of Seatopia. Before being sent to destroy Tokyo to protest underground nuclear testing. The Beetle would eventually be stopped by Godzilla and Ultraman’s flamingly gay cousin, Jet jaGuar.
Babe wake up chernobyl guy remembered he had a youtube chanel.

"hands full fighting their own engineering" should really be a subtitle for most of the Soviet era. :D
This is the most detailed K-19 documentary I have seen. It is very well done.
Great job! Keep it up!
I was a Navy nuke on a 608 Class US submarine with an S5W propulsion plant design. Seeing the photographs and listening to your detailed analysis I cannot imagine what thought process resulted in the design of K-19.
Rule of thumb with any story involving the Soviet navy is: It always gets worse.
I love how Moonlight Sonata is the background music for this, just as it was for the primary loop rupture in the movie 😂.

What a cursed sub
agree but the brave sailors who went into domesday reactor to repair and save their fellow man was heroic in the greatest schemes off things and avoid a possible disaster as well with West possibly thinking this was an attack on them
Never attribute supernatural causes to just bad design and generalized incompetence
Just saying, sailors are superstitious for a reason. The sub got a taste for blood during construction AND they tempted fate by not having a woman christen it.

Your editing is off -the beginning segment describes the George Washington, then segues directly to construction of the K19 with no segue. ???
That things crew were as cowboy as cowboy gets
I think by "diving rudders" you mean the diving planes?
What a waste of a museum peice, imagine being able to visit K19, the sub that refused to die and had a decorated and impressive career.
The ship that rescued them was called "Алтайлес" and that is spelled "Altay-lez"
It's a stand in prop of the same class ship :)
