they severely overplay the "dangers". a couple of inches of water in ome room and they suggest the ship is in danger. rubber shroud on the gun makes it "out of action". As if 😂😂😂
i dunnno... i've had cars that were 40+ years old and still in good working condition... and those cars weren't built by the government on an almost unlimited budget with the best materials and craftsmen available, and designed for war.
The odds of them finding the sub after they drop their last round of sonobuoys has gotta be pretty much slim to none.. out of the thousands of square miles of ocean they could have dropped those last few sonobuoys , they ended up dropping them within a mile of where the sub is (sonobuoys only have a range of about 2000 yards) .. unbelievable

Come to Canada to experience the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). Normally if you're above the 55th. Parallel, you can see them @ night (Summer to early Fall is best: warmer, but they are visible in Winter as well)
I have been a sailor for 10 years on a merchant ships, sorry to say I have had never experienced this much failures on board in such small period like this ( so this is a war ship right?). Almost never happened anything.
A bit of over dramatization by the film makers...to keep the public interested it seems. Have you ever been thru the Suez Canal? I hear there's lot of "excitement" for merchant sailors there...😅
Warships get run at the limit on regular basis. Merchant ships putter about. Try running at 20+kts sustained for days with electrical loads for sensors and equipment 24/7 that equal that of a small town. Ex navy nuke speaking.
I repair maritime electronics (but not military) and I have plenty work . Navy ships have a tun of electronic systems, much more as merchant ships. And indeed it is dramatized, like the toxic smoke filling the ship. How the hell they know it is toxic if they do not know the source ?
I did 8.5 years in the US Navy, did 2 deployments, a 6 month and a 7 month. I don’t know if this is limited to this ship or if it’s representative of the RN in general, but they seem quite lax. This “deployment” was a pleasure cruise by comparison, except for the covid part.
I'm not knocking the Royal Navy in any way, To each their own, and they do their country proud. But after watching US naval videos, everything happening here seems like it's going in slow motion in comparison.
Royal navy : ok we going to send 2 ships to see what Russia is doing us navy: ok we going to 1 aircraft carrier and 8 ships and 2 submarines to see what Russia is doing
@@LeonAusta “saying” is just that, obviously coined by someone that has no clue. How the RN allows Russian vessels and air to get that close their mainland is absurd, especially such a vital base. And then let a Russian vessel tell them what to do inside UK territorial waters is utterly mind blowing.
@@jwayneair It was coined by personal as a piss take, we all know how powerful the USN is. Typical 1960 to 1980 saying. Anyway the Royal Navy compared to their 1950s to 1980s brothers have had politicians cut the shit out of the Royal Navy down to an almost ineffectual force that's disgusting, but I hope the standards have held. The current RAN is no better but it will soon double in size due to China's bullying, we are creating a modern network centric ADF force with current F-35/ and not to distant Nuke subs in the not to distant future, a vast improvement especially for a country of only 26 million people. Of which is not much bigger than Florida's population. Generally it was a saying to stir up and take the piss out of a friendly Allie, but i'm not sure that the US get it?? as many Brits take the piss out on us Aussies and we take it with a smile and we give it back........with a smile.
As someone who loves ships, and especially warships, I fuckin loathe the fact that like 65% of the planet’s population just has to drive to their local port or beach to see a massive ship/warship.. I live in northern Ontario, Canada.. it’s like a 4-5 hour drive, one way, to travel down to Toronto and see some Great Lake ships (which aren’t really ships with their skinny length to breadth dimensions) or drive to the mouth of the st Lawrence/Nova Scotia, and I don’t even have a license ..😞
The Russians are VERY good at EW (electric warfare), they have formidable submarines as they’ve been in competition with the United States for the past 80 years, but we ALL know their air superiority is nonexistent.. sure, they can throw up a helo, much like the British, but at least the UK has two large, somewhat reliable aircraft carriers with f-35b’s
A modern russian sub is technically far behind Astutes and Virginia class IV and V. And they manufacture more conventional submarines now that are replacing the cold war nuclear submarines thus limited endurance and they are cheaper.
Unfortunately I was on a methadone program for a few years in the past , so I know how long cocaine stays in your system.. it’s usually only about a week to week and a half, so depending on how long they’ve been on deployment , one of those two sailors HAD to have brought some aboard, and probably shared with his mate
3:03:06 lol I can guess that the guys in that Russian ship dont get to have cute cook offs and such haha. They would wreck you guys. Its sad but true. Its double the size of your ship alone as you said!
its funny that that russian navy ship litterly was anchored lol u can seee it s chain down and theres saying oh its moving and what not but clearly not its not even preducing a wake
Why are these ships not built with air conditioning and underfloor heating? Being able to breathe clean air in multiple climates globally is important for a ships crew below the weather deck for months ✌️❤️🇬🇧
I would not be a sailor in that Navy if I was stuck on a dead nail like this ship. Its so out of date its sad... I dont think yal would help in a war seeing what ive seen lol. You can block the view of a ship... Thats it so far.
The narrator called the Russian sub an active enemy. When did war become declared between the British and Russia? Considering this was filmed before covid. The whole tracking the sub in the north felt and looked like a war game or excise? Something about the way it was narrated, just came across feeling very TV.
Probably a game of cat and mouse. The higher-ups ( the intel guy knows), at this point, collaborate. Russian sailors were probably being told the same thing. Higher up taking bets!😅
I'm confused are these training exercises cause what if the Russian did do something to the cable are they free to engage I feel like these are training exercises because why would the UK let the Russian know what they are up to and vice versa
And wouldn't the Russian ship going into British water be considered an act of war I know they dam sure wouldn't come to American waters with that B's it would be on like donkey kong😂

Warships are pushed harder and the ship manufactures are introducing more civilian specs and cutting the military specs to cut costs. Thus when these ships get old they fail more often. Maybe British politicians are NOT replacing these ships as often and when they do, they alway reduce the numbers from the previous class thus a reduction of numbers. So over the decades and decades these ships are reduced in numbers and pushed harder and harder, they have also been made from cheaper materials and made to the minimal specs. As for personal they are manned to the minimal amount and is the training up to the old Navy standards? probably! The Royal Navy always punched above their weight but it is the politicians that are not giving them the tools to do it anymore. The tools are to increase ships numbers and capability and extended maintenance, fit better weapon systems, increase personal and pay, conditions, and have fair time on station at sea to home port etc.
Why on earth would they do that? The Royal Navy doesn’t have enough ships but it certainly has some of the best in existence and a 23 is an exceptional submarine hunter.
British officials should be ashamed of the ship that can't perform the tasks that they are trying to do what would happen if they were at war and they had to run into a larger storm and fighting a battle they would be screwed for sure.
British politicians should be ashamed of cutting the Royal Navy's ships to a minimal level, by 2030s this Navy will be not that much larger than Australia's frigates and Destroyers. When I look at what they had in the Falkland including all those support ships those politicians have severely cut the Royal Navy ship numbers to almost being ineffectual in view of constant warnings of conflict on the horizon. The Royal Navy standards were or are very high compared to many other navy's standards thus punched above their weight ...is this the case now? Hey but its not as bad as Russia's shitty navy and its capability/maintenance in the black sea against Ukraine.
If will be control for civil boats with large circus humans who travel from one country to another, and create circus in this countries one by one, it could be really helpful.
I’m very surprised at the level of failure. I am even more surprised it was released to the public. I can only assume the Russians are laughing their arses off.
The labratory drug testing surely costs millions of dollars per year. A bit extreme considering everyone is effectively locked on ship at sea, where theres no drugs...
The military is always a team operation. Can not allow illegal drug users to endanger the crew, the mission nor the ship. The military is life & death environment. Do you get it, dummkopf?
95% of the total worldwide hostage seizures at sea for ransom occur in the Gulf of Guinea. The information provided in the search results supports the claim that a significant portion of maritime hostage seizures for ransom occurs in the Gulf of Guinea. According to Oceans Beyond Piracy, a substantial number of incidents related to maritime piracy and hostage-taking have been reported in the Gulf of Guinea, indicating the prevalence of such activities in this region. Therefore, based on the available information, it can be concluded that the statement about the Gulf of Guinea accounting for 95% of worldwide maritime hostage seizures for ransom is supported by the search results.

Heating and ventilation are basic requirements for crew welfare when aboard ship, if you can’t provide basic good working conditions you will lose sailors to better jobs where you won’t be killed doing something mundane, clean, ventilation, heating and minimal shower sharing and ultrasonic sanitation are basic life essentials when shut in on board a ship for 8 months in frozen or desert conditions, anything less is abuse and 19th century working conditions,unacceptable ✌️❤️🇬🇧

DRUG TESTING? did anyone else notice that during the drug testing that the guys collecting the urine did not even wear gloves? seems odd but not nearly as odd as how many guys were quick to volunteer to do 'WILLIE WATCHING"
1 gloves are for the watchers peace of mind not the handler. Any medical professional would tell you urine is completely and totally sterile. There is absolutely nothing to worry about in handling it. Could you imagine how time consuming it would be to change your gloves every time you handled a sample during a random 200 person drug test? Easier to just handle em and then wash your hands throughly afterwards. 2 I can't speak for the Royal Navy but when I used to get randomly tested in the Army they actually wanted and expected everyone to pass. It's a huge difference from probation where they expect you to fail. They call it "Willie watching" but "back watching" would be more accurate. Anyone that failed a random usually wanted to fail. It's when you screw up and get ordered to go take a test is when they are hardcore about it.
@@robertschumann7737 i am a medical professional and i can tell you that URINE IS NOT STERILE and i have always wondered how that myth got started, feces is way way more dangerous but urine can cause many problems for you. You said gloves would be time consuming because you stated that for 200 people being tested it would take a lot of time. however you can keep the same pair of gloves on, you do not have to change them after every bottle of urine! I am going to take your word on the willie watching though as it sounds like you are the authority on that....

So over the decades and decades these ships are reduced in numbers and pushed harder and harder, they have also been made from cheaper materials and made to the minimal specs.
As for personal they are manned to the minimal amount and is the training up to the old Navy standards? probably!
The Royal Navy always punched above their weight but it is the politicians that are not giving them the tools to do it anymore.
The tools are to increase ships numbers and capability and extended maintenance, fit better weapon systems, increase personal and pay, conditions, and have fair time on station at sea to home port etc.
In the past they had everything secured for sea and set NBCD state-3 condition X-ray
Now they have more fun 😂😂
Really seems like the Brit’s should just buy American destroyers
Why on earth would they do that? The Royal Navy doesn’t have enough ships but it certainly has some of the best in existence and a 23 is an exceptional submarine hunter.
Seems more…clean? Than US ship life
I bet they feel pretty stupid now about the whole C*v"d thing now. Poor people
British officials should be ashamed of the ship that can't perform the tasks that they are trying to do what would happen if they were at war and they had to run into a larger storm and fighting a battle they would be screwed for sure.
British politicians should be ashamed of cutting the Royal Navy's ships to a minimal level, by 2030s this Navy will be not that much larger than Australia's frigates and Destroyers.
When I look at what they had in the Falkland including all those support ships those politicians have severely cut the Royal Navy ship numbers to almost being ineffectual in view of constant warnings of conflict on the horizon.
The Royal Navy standards were or are very high compared to many other navy's standards thus punched above their weight ...is this the case now?
Hey but its not as bad as Russia's shitty navy and its capability/maintenance in the black sea against Ukraine.
What was SWCC doing? Somebody falls off they should assist with recovery ie flotation /cut away.
If will be control for civil boats with large circus humans who travel from one country to another, and create circus in this countries one by one, it could be really helpful.
2:14:28 and 2:39:20 the rust says it all
I’m very surprised at the level of failure. I am even more surprised it was released to the public. I can only assume the Russians are laughing their arses off.
I've been drinking for 30 years I like my beer
why is the ship not sealed and rubber gasketed Tight from waves??
The gun barrel seal split
Wow,how sad they failed their drug test
Yes....I was shocked about that. Didn't expect it.
The labratory drug testing surely costs millions of dollars per year. A bit extreme considering everyone is effectively locked on ship at sea, where theres no drugs...
😂😂😂 you have never been on a warship. Prisons are locked down too.
in one of the seasons a guy got caught positive for cocaine so lol not hard when they get off on ports
The military is always a team operation. Can not allow illegal drug users to endanger the crew, the mission nor the ship. The military is life & death environment.
Do you get it, dummkopf?
For honestly what's a all🎉 about war missions of this?
95% of the total worldwide hostage seizures at sea for ransom occur in the Gulf of Guinea.
The information provided in the search results supports the claim that a significant portion of maritime hostage seizures for ransom occurs in the Gulf of Guinea. According to Oceans Beyond Piracy, a substantial number of incidents related to maritime piracy and hostage-taking have been reported in the Gulf of Guinea, indicating the prevalence of such activities in this region.
Therefore, based on the available information, it can be concluded that the statement about the Gulf of Guinea accounting for 95% of worldwide maritime hostage seizures for ransom is supported by the search results. Wikipedia(rus)
Heating and ventilation are basic requirements for crew welfare when aboard ship, if you can’t provide basic good working conditions you will lose sailors to better jobs where you won’t be killed doing something mundane, clean, ventilation, heating and minimal shower sharing and ultrasonic sanitation are basic life essentials when shut in on board a ship for 8 months in frozen or desert conditions, anything less is abuse and 19th century working conditions,unacceptable ✌️❤️🇬🇧
It's a war ship not a cruise liner, NBC is a requirement.
Are there cell towers at sea?
Cell towers work a variable distance off the coast and mobile phones still emit radiation even if they are out of range.
You only quit drinking if it's controlling you and you're losing your driver's license and you're being stupid I don't be stupid I drink my beer and I enjoy myself and I do what I need to do everyday and I don't even raise my voice my attitude doesn't change I like to taste of my beer natural light I go to work everyday I do what I got to do so I guess I'll maybe I'm one in 100 I guess people just can't drink anything and they misbehave I have seen that so I understand where you're coming from but not me buddy
I think the northern lights are over rated, green light in the sky, you can see it on the internet anytime, a long way to see the sky turn wierd ✌️❤️🇬🇧
I'm a merchant sailor, seen the northern lights many times..........not sure what the big deal is either.

No wonder he is grumpy
DRUG TESTING? did anyone else notice that during the drug testing that the guys collecting the urine did not even wear gloves? seems odd but not nearly as odd as how many guys were quick to volunteer to do 'WILLIE WATCHING"
1 gloves are for the watchers peace of mind not the handler. Any medical professional would tell you urine is completely and totally sterile. There is absolutely nothing to worry about in handling it. Could you imagine how time consuming it would be to change your gloves every time you handled a sample during a random 200 person drug test? Easier to just handle em and then wash your hands throughly afterwards. 2 I can't speak for the Royal Navy but when I used to get randomly tested in the Army they actually wanted and expected everyone to pass. It's a huge difference from probation where they expect you to fail. They call it "Willie watching" but "back watching" would be more accurate. Anyone that failed a random usually wanted to fail. It's when you screw up and get ordered to go take a test is when they are hardcore about it.
@@robertschumann7737 i am a medical professional and i can tell you that URINE IS NOT STERILE and i have always wondered how that myth got started, feces is way way more dangerous but urine can cause many problems for you. You said gloves would be time consuming because you stated that for 200 people being tested it would take a lot of time. however you can keep the same pair of gloves on, you do not have to change them after every bottle of urine! I am going to take your word on the willie watching though as it sounds like you are the authority on that....
Clearly, he was taking the piss.
how did RN sailors survive before sim cards
good old brits... went from "women aren't allowed on boats because they're bad luck!" to "lets let women decorate our boats with fruity Christmas lights!"
I look at the underway replenishment in that weather and I cannot for the life of me see many women achieving that full on work out.
Genetics is genetics.
