im ex RN, 76 - 90 and I totally agree with you

I'm an ex-Coast Guard GM who sailed on a 327' high endurance cutter with a 5"/38 gun and full anti-submarine capabilities. Your assessment is spot-on accurate. This would have never happened with our old girl whose keel was laid in 1939. How in the f___k does something like that occur on a modern warship? And I just don't get how a vessel could have a design where any seawater ingress in the gun handling compartments could in any way enter the common spaces of the vessel. Should be totally segregated only be able to enter the upper handling room, where it would have its own dewatering system. If water can transverse between the gun handing spaces and the common spaces, then so can rapidly expanding gasses from an ammunition casualty....serious design flaw that could sink the ship. I could also do without the faux drama of a water-induced electrical spark setting off ammunition in the gun handling area...ain't gonna happen.

I’m Army but I sailed on the USS Anchorage in 95. First Woman on board..and I am Canadian. Every sailor was respectful and asked me a million questions. I had galley duty…wasn’t bad… better than scrubbing pots in the snow 🤣 . My hubby was a deck ape,now a clearance Diver Chief PO. But yes,…he complained constantly of painting the ship. I said he was a baby…3 hots n a cot….spoiled 😆🫡

I know! This is really terrible. The Royal Navy needs some re-organization all around.

First things I noticed also, I'm just a metal fabricator with no naval experience. I do run a massive operation though and understand the importance of redundancy in critical systems, and preparation ahead known weather events, like parking your trucks and equipment inside before a snowstorm or hail event.

Seriously it is like that in every service and every countries services. People join for multitude of reasons and attitudes are based on perspective, home life, boredom and so many little things. The newer are the most egger yet have the most anxieties about the unknowns. While the older last trip and I'm out crew are, the "been here done it got that check mark, just kick the tires I'm off next time in port" are less motivated. If you have ever deployed you know that last few weeks before going home, fights break out, restlessness, complacency is a killer.

every nation has the right to protect the intigrity and serius treats to maintain peace and order

The leak at the gun barrels rubber gasket was odd. They could have just turned the gun turret 170 degrees and having the back of the turret take the sea spray .

To be safe start from being friendly to Russia. GB is not Gb any longer. Just a lilliputian army not even good enough to fight Houthis in Yemen only.

@@bobtate6812 Lilliput and Blefuscu are two fictional island nations that appear in the first part of the 1726 novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. The two islands are neighbours in the South Indian Ocean, separated by a channel 800 yards (730 m) wide. Both are inhabited by tiny people who are about one-twelfth the height of ordinary human beings. Both are empires, i.e. realms ruled by an emperor. The capital of Lilliput is Mildendo. In some pictures, the islands are arranged like an egg, as a reference to their egg-dominated histories and cultures.[citation needed]

WE were all that young with all that responsibility.

@@bobtate6812 Russia needs to fix its homosexual problem first. And Russia's GDP is tiny compared to GB, it's like comparing the USA to North Korea.

Old stories sung by English people to discredit other nations. However, their ancestors were much more DISGUSTED of colonizing other nations in the past.

yeah cant wait for Emma from London with James the penguin vs Vladimir from Novosibirsk who is used to eating tree bark for breakfast and wrestling bears.

Hype? 🤭

I believe on the Type 23, the Mark 8 cannot traverse a full 180 to the rear due to the VLS configuration.

@@LumaLabs Even 1 degree would make a difference; to not turn it at all is very strange. Almost makes me feel it was staged. You'd think they would have a spare seal too but at least they got their Amazon Prime deliveries.

too busy swapping sonar processor boards to worry about bow waves

@@larry365 Probably all is staged. Or just part of an exercise. There was never a Russian submarine around.

We took Middies with us on some patrols on our Submarine in the summers. After a few days it was easy to tell who were going to be good Officers and who weren't. They were usually the 'Ring Knockers' .

Better than Netflix, the Russian's will be listening. I'm astounded ahwell victory only to Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Australia 🇦🇺 slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇦🇺 ♥

Nope your dead wrong he’s upset very very upset God likes it when we fight his impending truth to end all civilizations from recreating a more oh life’s to breath a.k.a live

to be fair Northumberland is 30+ years old. She should have been de-commed years ago, but modern politicians don't care about the RN, RAF, Army, until it's too late.

On all boats, maintenance and repair is constant. That's why they say boats are "holes in the water into which you throw money"

If you have modern war ship leaking because of heavy seas, you have a bad quality and design problem.

Worked in the med on a 65m M/Y and it was constantly getting fixed. It was 2 years old and breaking. Although Benetti the Alfa Romeo of yachts 😅

@@jeremymcpherson3024 Fix It Again, Tony!!

Boats and semi trucks, two vehicles that you will still be paying repair bills for even after you’re dead

I'm no sailor, but I thought with as many centuries experience about naval warfare, they would have figured out how to make ships more watertight and perhaps even have some pumps for the water instead of buckets.

Yeah, I was impressed at UK's Falkland Island response...

Ever see any UFO/uap/ or USO? Asking seriously.

@@VinceBucyvery quiet they are and invisible

She's supposed to be an officer, then she asked a crewman "What does that do?" What happened to England's navy? Y'all had the best navy in the world, and now you have officers asking what part of the ship is for.

@@Hollylivengood W O K E. I was wondering the same thing? I don’t think the others in the documentary enjoyed her enthusiasm.

@@VinceBucy Not a knowledgeable person about boats, myself, but I used to work at a sail maker's loft, sewing spinnakers, and met a huge worldwide community of boat people, and all of them, all to a man and woman, said the main thing about a sailor that sets them apart from any other branch of the military, is that every sailor has to have knowledge of everything that's on the ship they're on. Like the ship is a living thing, with all these people who make up it's parts. So she of the many questions made me wonder.

they lack staff and ships not even joking but the two aircraft carriers break down 100% of the time they are used

If my kid was serving on that boat, I would be pretty pissed off at the whole situation.

not to mention that Northumberland is 30+ years old and her class is in desperate need of replacement.

It really wouldn't make sense for the RN to have a large fleet like that anymore, not when they can just use the US as their bodyguard

@@KubiqFeet Britain can hardly do anything for itself anymore

​@@KubiqFeetit really wouldn't be possible.

India was a colony under that time you have the resource but its not possible now.

@@dfinlen I agree, it also wouldn't make sense to have a massive navy, it's all about alliances now, the US-UK alliance is not going to go away anytime soon.

WTF?

Don’t UK officers get briefed on vessel layouts prior to going aboard?

Pshh who needs directions, that's the British way

Actually labling decks, corridors and bulkheads is controversial, as having those directions available in a wreak where salvage by the enemy could be made easier if something top secret was aboard. It's also thought that knowing your ship without signs pointing out where you are and are going means that if attacked and dealing with fire, smoke or flooding, a ship that is listing or capsized, one would still know where one was. Most smaller Naval shops opt to not label directions while the city sized air craft carriers have to be marked out as memorizing the ship would reach a point of no return because of storage and other areas that are rarely visited to be recognized, and in larger ships spaces can be reconfigured even while underway and become unrecognizable in only a few days.

Directions to the tea room

There's enough sonar in that area to drown out an Oasis concert

It isn't clear from the description or title, but these are episodes of a documentary series. This is the 2nd episode I've seen - the first episode is on their channel now and was posted last week. I imagine the next installment/continuation of the story will be next week.

@@danielwaynemiller it's a documentary behind the scenes of another documentary that was aired a while ago. The mission was aborted when the sub damaged her towed array, rendering the deep listening sonar inoperative and requiring replacement in port. Some speculated that it was intentional, but the array is basically a long cable with microphones, silent and two miles long. So, a wee bit hard to find, let alone hit and a big risk of fouling the screws on a submarine, leaving them immobile.

Next episode dropped on this channel fyi

Oop, our radar got caput.

Yep, as a laymen I was still surprised that as many centuries experience of having a navy, they haven't figured out how to make ships watertight during storms yet. And buckets instead of pumps reminds me of having to use water bottles for heating in London hotel when I was a kid. Felt like kind of ancient tech by then already.

I’ll give a pass on the junior sailor, everyone needs a start and nobody is perfect out of the gate, the rest of the issues, yes it’s pretty bad the level of incompetency

I doubt that submarine was all that worried about this ship.

@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 problem is she is a commissioned officer not a sailor and all the experienced sailors need to call her “ma’am”

@@maxanders3000 , Ви ошибаетесь жестоко ... Я на мнении,що русские уже хотели сделать разворот обратно на случай SOS от англичан , но все обошлось ...

Have you ever served?

​@@maddogtank8425I have. Us navy. I'm shocked she's an officer who doesn't know what sonar is used for. Hell, most civilians know what it is.

Maybe there could be more than one sonar; task specific

She seems really immature for an officer. Did she go through any training, because it doesn't appear so.

This is the end result of the Woke DEI Virus

There is simply no substitute for the real deal, my friend. Don't be too critical.

Cant wait for Emma from London with James the penguin vs Vladimir from Novosibirsk who is used to eating tree bark for breakfast and wrestling bears.

"This is the sonar" "Whats that?"

unfortunately vladmir's t-55's rusted commanders hatch got hit by a drone-mounted anti-tank grenade, so he won't be joining us for this one@@valyshknee4203

Believe it or not all ships look like this after being underway for a while, it is quite normal.

no its not the entire ship looks like a broken rust bucket@@CRAZYHORSE19682003

​@@Crashed131963correction. Ukraine HAD a navy. It got wiped clean.

​@@valyshknee4203 Ivan can wrestle bears all he wants, but meanwhile he also can't read and distinguish the 'shoot' and 'self-destruct' buttons. And because he's a Siberian minority, good chance he's pressed into service by uncle Vladimir, and because of this he hates every officer and NCO of his navy. My money's still on the penguin and the kids 🎉

that's because it's a tourist ship only NOT a warship

Loser😂 russia is conducting freedom of navigation

Boris Johnson sabotaged a peace deal between Russian and Ukraine. Your leader's don't give a damn about "keeping the peace". Get a clue.

So what's a sealed operating pump going to look like on the viewer's screen, just humming away? Boring! The same with a bunch of other things people here are bitching about. This is an edited documentary by film makers. This is how they typically stitch together days worth of random footage.
