30 years later. Scuba diver: i found a Mexican navy Warship

Crazy how slow it looks outside but inside its anxiety level 1000

It’s actually terrifying how quickly it goes from leaking to being fully submerged imagine you were inside a ship and before you realised what was going on you are crushed by the water around you

For those wondering why it sank so fast: -The explosives were placed strategically to down it as quick as possible -All machinery and safety systems were stripped (it was essentially an empty shell) -Watertight valves designed to slow the sinking in an actual disaster were all removed

Guy on the ship wakes up to the explosion: hey... where is everyone?

Everyone gansta till dem fishes learn how to use a fooking navy ship

The Mexican Navy operates four modernized frigates, two missile ships and a number of patrol ships for both offshore and inshore patrol. The Mexican Navy also has six tank landing ships at its disposal to transport all of it's 120 units of the Mexican Army Panhard ERC-90 F1 Lynx wheeled tanks at a moment's notice. Just enough to patrol it's resort beaches for the safety of American and European tourists.This ship being sunk is the ARM Uribe, and it will continue it's service as a new reef and a new home to ocean life for centuries to come.

Insane how the creaking of the ship right after the blast and before you see the water rush in is almost exactly the same as the type of metallic sound you hear in TV/Movies to inform you that something is going very wrong.

1:30 Absolutely one of the most terrifying noises ever

hearing the metal, and watching the water pour in makes me so scared inside :o and ive never been in a ship :/

It would be interesting to go and have a look at the wreck now, and see the amount of life that has attached itself to the structure. I am a Hydrographer by profession and spend my life looking at things on the seabed, acoustically or visually. One thing that never fails to blow me away is the amount of sea life living in the vicinity of a man made structure, it is amazing.

It’s nice to see this ship get sunk instead of being put in a scrapyard to rust. Also gives you a feel of how it was on the Titanic when she sank.

I guess, it was, sinko de mayo

Homeless guy thats been living on there: *My time has come....*

Now another military ship with the hull number 121 has become a artificial reef - the „Moskwa“ 😈

Them: "uhhh, b4? Mexicans: "You sunk my battleship!"

Thank you Mexico, for your contribution to the coral reef rebuilding programme. Good job cleaning up the ship for scuttling. May life thrive in the halls and rooms again.

I hope the fishies are happy with their new home

2:30 “change da world, my final message... goodbye”

Something about sinking big ships always fascinates me. Such impressive feats of engineering being overtaken so easily by nature is both awesome and terrifying. Even with the inventions of bulkheads and pumps, you can only fight off the inevitable for so long if the ocean finds a weakness. It doesn't care, it just goes where it needs to go.

For any intrested this is the Mexican Navy costal patrol vessel ARM Uribe P121 built in 1982 sunk off of the Californian coast at Rosarito to create an artificial reef

That ship is a paid actor

Small update: there's one video about a dive to the wreck, that was published 3 years ago, but still there is so much coral and fish on it!, she's probably the prettiest artificial reef i've seen, just imagine how she must be now

The Pengu Noots in the music after the ship's sunk are unbeatable.

These russian dash cam videos are getting out of hand

Then the fish find a way to use the turrets.

The amount of people who didn't know (or even assume) Mexico has a navy is genuinely frightening lmao

It's so poetic to see a machine built for war being willingly sacrificed to rebuild nature, without the loss of life and toxicity that usually entails.

*First blood* *Devastating strike* *Destroyed* "We sunk an enemy destroyer"

Nobody: KZfaq recommended: Hey you wanna see a mexican warship sinking?

Funny. Got this Video recommended shortly after the MOSKVA was destroyed.

As someone who works on the water this is fascinating and also pretty terrifying. I've never been involved with any hull breaches but it's insane the amount of pressure that the water enters with. I thought those war movies when the water geysers into the compartments was exaggerated but its completely accurate. And it only takes a few minutes.

Is it just me get scared the hell out when the water starts getting in?

Watching this gave me some sort of sinking feeling

I can’t believe how fast it sunk. Amazing

your vessel: *sinks * The fishes watching you from outside: 4:17

That sank faster than I expected even though it is a small ship

That creaking noise is bone chilling.

I love the Creaking and metallic sound etc.

That sunk fast that would be really scary being on one when it is sinking.

1:30 That’s the ship saying “yo I don’t feel too good”

According to news reports not everyone on shore knew the sinking was intentional and there were several calls to 9 Juan Juan.

While we're at it, I also want to thank Russia for donating one of their biggest warships to create an artificial reef in the Black Sea.

2022: Sinking a Russian Warship

Gives you a brief glimpse into how terrifying it must've been to be on the Titanic without any life boats left

Sea life: *It's Free Real Estate*

do you have footage of sinking Moskva?

Breathtaking. In every sense.

Why everyone is suprised by the fact that Mexico has a navy ?? They are surrounded by oceans, it is just normal... And that's a good video, very nice idea for the environnement !

Special thanks to the camera men that sacrificed their lives for our entertainment

Remember when you watched this when you were 6 and absolutely fascinated? Yeah me too

That’s absolutely awesome.

Why do none of the commenters watch the whole video? Here's a Q&A. "Why did they sink it?" To create an artificial coral reef because all the natural ones are being destroyed. "How did they get the footage?" Scuba divers. You can see one at the end of the video. "Why did they waste the materials of the ship?" It's not wasting. Coral reefs are important.

Who else loves the sound of GoPro's going under water.

This is now home for lot of fish and plant species so don't dislike this

One of the must see clips in life Thanks Go Pro

The ship being sunk is the ARM Uribe, an Uribe-class ocean-going patrol vessel. She's 67m (220 feet) long, weighs around 1,000 tons, and has a crew of 54. Needless to say, she's a small ship. In service, she mainly served as a floating helicopter pad, and was armed with one 40mm Bofors antiaircraft gun. (Yes, the same Bofors gun of World War 2 fame.) The Uribe was the first of six Uribe-class vessels built in Spain for the Mexican Navy in 1982 and 1983, so she had a long career serving her country. Her five sister ships (Azueta, Baranda, Bretón, Blanco, and Monasterio) are still in service with the Mexican Navy. In 2018 the Mexican Navy boasted over 189 vessels of all types, about 130 aircraft, and over 64,000 personnel (not including reserves). The vast majority of its fleet consists of patrol craft to safeguard Mexico's large coastline in both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It's been active since January 19, 1821, and has participated in a variety of conflicts including World War 2 where it fought with the Allies and the ongoing War On Drugs.

Cue the music: "My heart will go on"

Breathtaking.

it's incredible that the cameraman was survived in this video

Next video: go pro declares war on mexico

That one guy who had the job of getting all the GoPros

This was a crazy video. Loved it

Excellent video. What was the total elapsed time, from the first explosion, until it hit its final depth?

You sunk my battleship!!!

1:56 the water rushes in so fast!!!!! Omg

Wow amazing never knew sinking ships helped rebuild coral reefs pretty amazing

I just feel chills running up my spine. This is giving me the hibee chibees

Most amazing part is how GoPros were able to capture that underwater music.

I was eating doritos when friend knock on door. "Mexican warship is kil" No

Those sounds are nightmare fuel. Thanks

I watched this live from boarding school was at pacific life teen program boarding school for troubled teens, anyways cool to see this footage we were all very lucky to have seen this live

The ominous creaking and groaning of the ship gives me chills

oh man,here comes my phobia of drowning

Fish: Finally a gift from heaven

There's something poetic about using a decommissioned weapon of war to rebuild a part of nature

My ship in sea of thieves after a kraken

Samir you gonna break the ship!

I saw a video exactly like this except the boat was sunk in Canada. What's crazy is that the water was murky in that one and this one its clear much deeper depths.

FINALLY a good video of a sinking!!

00:12 "A former Mexican battleship" 00:30 that is a patrol vessel.... not a battleship...

*MY HEART WILL GO ON STARTS PLAYING LOUDLY*

Thank you for the great video.

Exclusive footage of the Moskva

He protecc He atacc But most importantly He ain't got he's gopro Camaras bacc

It served them well when it was afloat, and still does while it’s at the ocean floor

Thanks for the ride to the ocean floor that was fun.

She cried out saying she didn’t want to go, the other ships cried watching it sink. Truly a sad moment.

*anxiety and claustrophobia joined the chat*

w0w it sinks so fast! no wonder why lots of ppl died when the boat sinks...

Dam these new stormworks updates are getting wild.

Scary how fast and powerfully the water rushes in . Imagine trying to escape that..

*it's great to see a ship to become artificial reefs rather than see it on a scrapyard*

Everybody saying that they could have restored the ship or done something with it: They could, but instead they made a new home for fish to swim around, isn't that fine too? lol I don't see a problem with it. It would have costed them more money to restore it too.

Orgullosamente mexicano 🇲🇽🔥 AYAYAY

Long live Mexico

My ship in Sea of Thieves after barely scraping the sand bar

If only this could be played in reverse,we would see an epic battleship rise from the ocean to do battle.

i saw this when i was young good memories

Why does a sinking ship look so satisfying with the water pouring in and the slipping into the water
