Explore the marvel of the 47-foot Motor Lifeboat (47 MLB), an unsinkable force operated exclusively by the United States Coast Guard. Uncover the physics behind its self-righting ability, achieved through a low center of gravity, a high center of buoyancy, and watertight integrity. Join us on a journey into the world of naval engineering and discover why these boats are considered unsinkable.
Delve into the intense training regimen of surfmen; the elite operators trained for six years to master the art of navigating treacherous waves. Learn the intricate techniques they employ to outrun, dodge, and absorb wave energy, ensuring the safety of both the crew and those they rescue. Gain insight into their dedication and expertise as they become adept at avoiding capsizing in emergency situations.
Despite their exceptional capabilities, these boats face a challenge: time. Originally designed to operate for 25 years, maintenance efforts are underway to extend their operational lifespan by at least two more decades. Witness the commitment of the Coast Guard as they ensure these unsinkable heroes continue saving lives at sea for years to come. This is more than a boat; it's a symbol of resilience, training, and unwavering dedication to maritime safety.

Whenever I hear the phrase "Impossible to skin" I remember The TITANIC xD

@davidjordan2011 8 ай бұрын

It was only due to the combined arrogance and ignorance of its designers and owners that the Titanic was declared unsinkable. Since then designers of large ships have used the lessons of the Titanic, and certainly other ships that sank, to design ships less likely to sink. You'll note that the rescue boat in this video is relatively very small, so it's physics is much simpler. Pretty quickly, I'm sure, they also started putting adequate numbers of life boats and life preservers on ships.

Decently presented, but one factual error, Coast Guard Coxswains, even those who are registered surfmen, are usually E-5 or E-6 and recieve the same pay as others of similar rank in the other branches of the military. There is no additional pay for being on the Surfman registry. Being on the surfman register is purely a matter of pride. Also, it should be pointed out that the 47' MLB is nearing the end of its service life - they've been in service over 25 years, and that self-righting surf boats have been in service around the world for around a century.

Yeah, not sure anyone in the military gets paid that much, even with hazard pay.

@erichammond9308 6 ай бұрын

@@akespt yeah, I really don't know where they got that idea. I was 8 months, and a class at the NMLBS, away from the registry when I got out and went to college. I had already been qualified as a Coxswain for almost a year, and had dealt with surf, and even hurricane conditions far in excess of what they train in at Cape D., and there was no mention of increased pay for getting a Surfman pin.

@markymarknj Ай бұрын

Don't the surfmen at least get hazardous duty pay?

@erichammond9308 Ай бұрын

@@markymarknj No. They receive the exact same pay as anyone who has the same rank. There's no added benefit except the prestige. Oh, and only Coxswains are awarded the Surfmen badge, the crews are junior enlisted (E-2, E-3 and E-4)

@markymarknj Ай бұрын

@@erichammond9308 okay, thanks. Given the job they do, I think that those guys should get hazardous duty pay. What, you call charging 40 foot waves in a 40 foot boat safe?

What if you put thousands of small air balls or balloons in the empty space under the boat. In a big net, then it just keeps floating even if there is crack. Put cages for walking

Sinkings are usually by fire,rock/iceberg/torpedo. They should say the boat is unsinkable unless you hit something
