There are two. Red is the 'real' one and black for training. They are modeled on US Police Magnum pistols. Much heavier than the little Scalextric controller.

Agreed but show respect to the boys, i did it for 26 years, we miss our families and dont see daylight for up to 4 months at a time , we do it to keep our families safe

@@exnavy1969 could u talk some more about it I’m really interested and thinking about it my self

*hits joint*

Duh...maybe because Trident's are of American design?

No they aren't. Aspects of missile command and control are though which stands to reason given the missiles are from the US. Rest of the submarine UK design.

No - missile bodies are US, not sure about launch tubes. Hill, propulsion, control etc are all British although I am sure some US stuff is in non - critical areas. Reactor is entirely British design although the US did help obliquely in the early days. Now there is much more information sharing. Warheads are all British including the plutonium.

@@derricklanders7260 The Americans were not very happy with us for redesigning the warhead arrangement, the control systems etc.

Definitely money well spent. UK should go all put andake us a lot more powerful. We have the cash.

orbitaldildo almost every country is “broke”, there are very few countries without a budget deficit but we have the 5th largest economy in the world so... A superpower no, but then only the USA is, we are most certainly a global power though.

orbitaldildo about the economy or the global power?

@orbitaldildo wrong it isn't a super power but it isn't broke it is the 5th biggest economy and it's only rising when the coronavirus is gone

@orbitaldildo America is in a lot more debt than Britain is same with China and other countries Why do countries do this? Because they get profit from it Britain is the 5th biggest economy in the world any reliable source would say that so stop lying to yourself

Imagine the commander of the submarine watching this next to the guy who messed up

Nah it ain’t a problem a little screw up is fine unless it’s a unstable weapon anyways

Every government around the world knows far more about all other countries subs than this brief report.

Bulletproofcammy That be the Dreadnought class ballistic missile subs, 17,000 tons in weight

Yes building more war machines all while your country falls apart from the inside out, nothing like spending tax payers money on war and screw the people domestically

50 Ducks In A Hot Tub deterrents maintain stability and in stability a nation thrives, the UK has been cutting back on military spending as the world was becoming more stable now there’s been a significant ramp up in global tensions there must be a build up of our military, before WW2 appeasement was used at the last minute to make time for rearmament and only let the third reich gain more momentum and confidence since then it has been British foreign policy never to bury our heads in the sand again.

I’m joining the submarine service when I’m 22, so in 2027, when the submarines will nearly be in service. Hopefully, by the time I’ve qualified they’ll be ready.

nuclear weapons will make both sides lose nobody ever wins in a nuclear war

Their hulks are approaching end of life.

Is this supposed to be instead of scrapping them when the Dreadnought class gets going, cos I don’t think it’s a good idea to convert a Vanguard into a sort of ‘Super Astute’ class, primarily because they are quite old now

and a laminated navy biff chit

At 0:23 a police boat,which is probably,an MOD police boat,with heavily-armed cops onboard.

MrHalvnir It was a fire drill 😂

First thing they do in a fire is crash stop ventilation to stop thesmoke spreading. We then start "sucking rubber". Breathing from the emergency breathing system. Happy dayz

Load of bollocks. We are allowed to do what we want with them.

Absolute rubbish they are loaded onto the boats in Scotland.

How do they get the warheads onto them so new the warheads are British - the trident D5 is a joint pooled asset

the warheads are released as the missile comes back into orbit, warheads then hit different targets

They can manouvere during their ballistic trajectory in the upper atmosphere so they can hit different targets. Some are not warheads but decoy penetrators to fool anti-missile defences. The exact setup is needless to say stunningly secret.

@@davidcollins9258 interesting and that is one misile ?thanks mate

No, they are kept in a secure part of the submarine preventing the men from getting any radiation

It’s pretty common knowledge that the subs are based at faslane

vanguard carry trident missiles, astute carry cruise missiles

blardmann I thought astute also carryed trident missiles?

A-random-stormtrooper nope just vanguard

Astute are attack subs, Vanguard are ballistic subs, our attack subs hunt their ballistic subs and their attack subs hunt our ballistic subs. It's cat and mouse except the mice are way bigger than the cats and very good at hiding.

One's a vanguard class. The other is not. Lol

Steve Jory the Royal Navy submariners are nicknamed ‘the silent service’ for good reason

No impossible - a lot of very complex things need to happen in a very precise sequence for a thermonuclear weapon to detonate.

I think that near to what a dirty bomb is, the nuclear detonation doesn't take place but the conventional explosion would release radioactive material.

Howard Stephens .... mainly from the nuclear reactor rather than the missile warheads

Well, it is conceivable but extremely unlikely. It’s more likely that the conventional explosives would go off out of sequence (or only partially) this wouldn’t cause a nuclear explosion but would spread the fissile material around a bit, not quite Hiroshima or Chernobyl but still bad

Heyy Now trident missiles are US made, the warheads and submarines are from the UK

@@barnabyg6808 The warheads are useless without the missile that carries them...

Derrick Landers in the same way that missiles are useless without the warhead. One is useless without the other

trident is the delivery system, american technology, we supply the war heads and submarines, as far as i know the americans maintain the system for us

@@DaGabbaGangsta The missiles are maintained in the US and rotated from a common pool used by both navies. The UK uses its own warheads based, it is believed, on the physical properties of the American W76 warhead. The US uses w88 warheads as well. In the future both navies will use "independently developed" but strikingly similar warheads which America is calling W93. The reason why it is stressed they are independently developed is that both countries are signatories of the non-proliferation treaties and the two countries can't swap nuclear weapons technology. Wink, wink.

It’s also guarded by a battalion of Royal Marines

Мой отчим служил на предшественнике "Трайдента" (подводной лодки "Поларис"). Он сказал, что они никогда не считали российских подводников своими врагами - и уважали их, поскольку они выполняли ту же сложную работу, что и они. К сожалению, Великобритания, Франция, США и Россия нуждаются в таком оружии. Я думаю, что многие британцы согласились бы с вашим комментарием о Черном море. США никогда не должны были финансировать государственный переворот на Украине и должны были позволить Украине сделать свой собственный выбор.... Это действительно угрожает миру, который установился в Европе после окончания Второй мировой войны, когда другие страны ввязываются в махинации на границе с Россией....

Oh believe me he did. He knows that if he does have to pull that the trigger his family etc are almost certainly already all dead and the UK hammered my nuclear bombs.

onetruekeeper there is a letter on board the sub called the letter of last resort or something to that effect. and it is the last official act of HMG. in the event the prime minister is killed and contact cannot be made to mainland UK by the sub. the letter is opened and it states what the prime minister wants the captain to do with the sub. I believe the options available are to hand the sub to another nato country (most likely America) or use the weapon against whoever nuked Britain.

I assume this letter has the launch codes to enable missile launch at the Captain's discretion?

onetruekeeper not entirely sure the only person who will ever truly know is the prime minister as the letter is destroyed unopened when a new prime minister is elected

She doesn't need to. The crew swear allegiance to the Queen, her heirs etc and her appointment government. The PM acts with her authority therefore orders from him/her are lawful.

@@onetruekeeper418 they don’t have launch codes they are key based

Why have them that close? They'd be just as effective in the Indian Ocean.

Now thats how a nutjob sounds like. It's good your job is to type useless comments behind your basement.

that's wrong. just saying :)

It can be 16 if we wanted but we only put 8 with 5-6 Warheads and two with 1 for rouge nations and tactical uses, we load them on what the threat is based on currently.

Jake Hayes all these missiles can be shoot down during thier booster phase

Well there can. Theres just an agreement in place for another 5 years.. only down side is Washington provide most of the key parts that make it a nuke... it would be mentle to think a country can not protect themselfs without permission from another country. Nukes are very expensive to keep. Especially when I can not see them ever been used..

Billions on nuclear weapons to stop a major war is more important than the NHS in stance. The world has a forced peace because of these weapons, if we didn't, the world would be fighting eachother every day of the week.

The money also comes from our Defence Budget, there's no point of having an NHS if there is no Britain. Also the NHS is underfunded but also over used especially by health tourists

There are ways to save billions in the NHS, but the Politically Correct culture won’t allow it.

No point in a NHS if there’s no one to use it😂

We spend 2% of the governments budget on all the armed forces (not just the nuclear weapons) the NHS budget is closer to 20% second only to the budget for the DWP

Will take our investment in Scotland with us too i guess lol
