Thanks very much for your support. Our patrols were off our east coast sitting about 3,000 yards behind a Russian missile submarine insuring that they could not launch on the United States. We had determined that their missile firing submarines had to surface to launch. So, if we received a message that we were at war with USSR, or if they surfaced an opened missile tube doors we would be obliged to sink them. Thankfully neither country wanted to launch on the other and to that I say AMEN! to

@Dr Asif You sound mad.

@Dr Asif I mean nearly all of the world.

James, that was a very interesting and exciting career. Good for you and I thank you for your patriotic service to our country.🇺🇸

legioner9 sure does, but america is ten times worse people actually believe they are the greatest when they are not! We have the best navy and a high class air force but other then that if war ever made it to America you’ll see a bunch of wimps running who claimed they were patriots

@@GHustle4 What is this will see BS? Did the entire world not watch goatherders taking on the US military 'might' with commercial airplanes? Heck they even hit the US Pentagon itself. Did you not see that? Nah I remember seeing the US navy and those US sailors down on their knees crying and calling out for Commander Mommy. The world was watching. Yea I have seen more then plenty of US runners. We call those deserters. The weak to very weak US military has 1000s of those annually. Over 20+ US combat veterans each day take their own live when they figure out they cannot run forever. When I invade the US mainland I will see no one. Cos they will have ran away. Simple.

The US is not great. It is just a nation with good and bad points. Nuclear submarines and no universal healthcare system 😂🤣😂🤣.

@Bass Mekanik No, spoken like a person who values universal healthcare over useless nuclear weapon systems.

@Sanuk Jang Lery. Beautifully executed. 😆 🇺🇸 👍

@Sanuk Jang Lery the orange man 😂 I loveit

@@davidbrisbane7206 Hmmmmmmmm. Wonder why half the population of the world is trying to get into the US? Also Canadians come to the US for treatment on a regular basis when their universal healthcare isn't so universal. Nobody has trouble getting healthcare in the US. But, of course you don't know that do you?

im currently gonna be working for the company that builds these and am currently getting my secret security clearance to be able to work on these subs. i can't wait.

Then I’m surprised you refer to a submarine as a “ship” and not a ‘boat.’

Your right, ships are targets. Coner or nuke?

@Dale Anderson Yea Stolen Valor is more like it. No submariner is going to call his ... boat a ship ever. Your ship at best flew the crossbone flag? Arrrhhhh? Haha!

Michel Platteeuw and Ian Docherty believe what you want, I have the dolphins to prove it. Stand tall on the internet trolls. I’m commenting on a great piece of engineering that I had the privilege to operate that continues to protect our country and you spineless jackasses pick my comment apart. You were probably an E-2 cranking in the mess and compacting trash, while I was standing watch in maneuvering. Typical internet cowboys!

@@doughuey8038 Sorry US law and Proof of Service to be asked for by anyone who proclaims to 'have served' is mandatory. Take your believe to church or a temple? Wow so you did not pledge or take an oath to uphold the US Constitution but instead you turn into ... a namecalling child? Yea you wouldn't survive bootcamp ranting and namecalling, lmao! Sure call me names like a commie shooting the messenger? The US Constitution and US law remain exactly the same.

I went on board the same boat seven years ago while she was in dry dock at Bangor. I had a good long talk with the commander, given we had the same grade. He was very accommodating.

Thank you for your service Luis

A TRUE THANK YOU TO ALL THAT SERVICE AND ARE VETERANS GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILYS ❤️🤍💙🤿

please share some secrets with us (we won't tell anyone)

@Jared Harris ok there are 2 types in my opinion. There are the fast attack class which are the older Los Angeles class subs and the newer Virginia class. Then there are the boomers which the middle carriers which would in this case be the Ohio class which would be your ssbns and the converted ssbns which are now the guided missile subs which are the ssgns. The trident class are the boomers. The Seawolf is a class of subs but their fast attack and their a very secret covert sub class. The reason they weren't massed produced was because the end of the cold war and the massive expense they cost. A class of subs is based off the lead ship of the design like the lafeyette was the lead sub of her design. Different sub classes are based off new designs. The Virginia class is a class based off the virginia nd their very modular. Class vs designation. Designations are fast attack and boomers. Hope this helps

We could only afford three Wolf class submarines silent but deadly the are what is called a black hole. And are used in tailing other subs or recon of particular areas of concern.

@@georgewashington938 Take a gander at "Smarter Every Day's" YT channel. He visits a sub -- in fact he gets picked up by one somewhere in the Arctic. He's a civilian who has an engineering degree. Guided by the Captain and the submariners, he breaks down the complexities of operating a sub to the layperson. It really makes you appreciate the enormous responsibility involved and the attention to detail of those who operate them. I had a new respect, more than ever, for those who serve.

Ya i was waiting to ask someone who knew....what does it mean when they refer to boomer when talking about subs???

*AND GUESS WHAT? THE U.S. USES ALL THAT POWER TO HARASS THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES BECAUSE THERE ARE NO MORE COUNTRIES TO CONQUER AND RULE.* And they can’t even end the 19 years old war in Afghanistan and Irak and now they want to invade Iran. They send the CIA to Latin America and around the world to destabilize the regions and keep them poor, example Venezuela. No I don’t support the corrupt Venezuelan Maduro, but the USA are far worst enemy. They seem to forget that 95% of countries in the world are not even afraid of them. These hardware are totally useless in the War of Guerrillas in the Amazon, in South America where the words DETERRENCE and SURRENDER don’t exists in their vocabulary, not even two nukes will make them surrender. And the conflict will not only be in South America but in the USA too. All that money wasted for nothing and nothing for Coronavirus, Testings, the homeless, Racism, and Detroit. It’s like Detroit, West Virginia and Puerto Rico are not America.

@@yolamontalvan9502 triggered much?

@@gabrielbloch8837 america is weak and is nothing without allies....stop buying the propaganda they sell you

@@GHustle4 Your answer is a bit like quoting a statistic as an established fact. Fact: The US expended many thousands of rifle rounds for each enemy killed in (choose a country...Viet Nam, for instance). Statistic: Thousands of rounds did not kill any enemy. Statistical Error: As it only takes one round to kill you. Do not mistake the foolish ignorance of many (due to the fact that the US has not killed them yet) which allows them to conclude that the US cannot or will not kill them in the future. Just remember, "If you are going to be stupid, you'd better be tough as well."

I was a blue crew nuke on the Henry, 77-79. Did shipyard at Mare Island, DASO and missile launch in Florida, transit from Hawaii to Guam, then two patrols. Was on a tour of the OHIO at EB during its new construction, they didn't seem to realize how nice they had it. The Henry brings back some memories. Thanks for your service!

built with Chinese chipsets.

@Sir Man Actually, that was not a real dolphin. It is part of the Russian intelligence using it's new aquatic, A.S.D. program, * Aquatic Submersible Dolphin.

Ohio Class submarines are equipped with automatic sonar to neutralize any dolphins or porpoises that enter its projected path up to 10 miles ahead. An upgrade over the Lafayette Class subs that could only detect tuna if it bit the hook trailing behind the ship.

@@whereisnow859 Love it.

Really cool but painful for them since they have to listen all that engine noise in the water

more firepower than was used in ALL of WWII including the 2 a-bombs

“The only way is underway” I also served on the USS Michigan when it was still a SSBN and Retired in 2003 when it was getting ready to convert to SSGN.

@Emmanuel Mayol why? Bet that if you ever was in the military you probably was a remf

@Emmanuel Mayol I hope the US uses it on North Korea

No doors still standing so...Bravo Zulu.

Yeah, the clip was definitely not matched with the narration.

@@danielfronc4304 LOL! Thank heaven that's a trophy I didn't hook into.

I bet that was a sight to behold.

20 missiles 8 war heads each. 160 nuclear war heads is a hell of alot death and destruction.

Didn't you just search on your smartphone for a couple million pics of a US missile sub surfaced during daytime? He was probably Stolen Valor. Happens all the time really.

God. Bless. Our. Navy. Safety. Thru. Strenght. I. Will. Miss. The. OHIO. SUBS. Sounds. Like. A. GREAT. SUB. AKA. BOAT

the was a PM we performed at the end of each patrol. dive to over 700 feet, then do an emergency blow. what a ride!

Nah the US taxpayers won't suffer for crappy US subs that cannot make it from point A to B without ramming into random stuff? Ehime Maru and USS Greeneville collision, USS Dolphin major flooding and fire, USS Oklahoma City collision with tanker, USS Hartford grounding, USS San Francisco collision with undersea terrain, USS Philadelphia collision with MV Yasa Aysen, USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul incident, USS Newport News collision with Japanese tanker Mogamigawa, USS Hartford and USS New Orleans collision, USS Miami arson, USS Montpelier collision with USS San Jacinto, USS Jacksonville collision. Why would anyone want more of that? How many more deaths do you want to see? Will you burry all those sailors personally? US knows not to spy on us. The consequences will be devastating.

@@MrFlatage Ok, let me show you how you are wrong on every point you made. The USS. Greenville collision was the result of a malfunctioning monitor that displayed sonar data and human error for not spotting the ship. The USS Dolphin was the oldest submarine in the navy when it caught fire, so it's destined that something was going to go wrong sooner or later. The USS Oklahoma City collision was entirely human error. The USS Hartford collision was due to poor, lax leadership on the submarine and a failure to adequately prepare for and conduct the crossing of the Hormuz Strait by the crew. The USS San Francisco collision was due to the leaders and watch teams failing to develop and execute a safe voyage plan, The USS Philadelphia collision was due to the other ship's sonar not seeing the submarine causing it to t bone the sub. The USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul incident was due to human error in rough weather, the USS Newport News collision was due to the large tanker creating a vacuum underneath the ship as it sailed swiftly above the sub, causing it to raise the sub's depth and collide. The USS Miami fire was due to a worker at the shipyard setting fire to the sub and had nothing to do with the sub itself. The USS Montpelier collision was due to human error and poor teamwork. Only God knows why the USS Jacksonville collided with so many things, however. So, all of these were human error and were not caused by "crappy US subs that cannot make it from point A to B". No vehicle is without accidents. Planes crash, cars collide and so do ships and submarines on occasion. You are just an idiot, and you don't know what you're talking about. And I would say that the US is already spying on you.

I wouldn't worry too much about China, Russia etc. The US is imploding as we speak....with no end insight. A small spark will set everything in motion and then it's every man, woman and child for himself. Trump ''loosing'' the next election will be seen as illegitimate by the gun totting, bible bashing ''deplorables'' who will then go on to punish all those they believe are responsible. China, Russia etc will be watching from the sidelines. Karma....is a bitch.

Liar, AMERICA will not have hypersonic missiles for at least five to ten years.

@mcnet name it.

@mcnet you are a complete moron and IDIOT. the Patriot is an ANTI AIR DEFENSE MISSILE. it can ONLY shoot down missiles. So is the Rim. The Minute man and the Trident are BOTH ICBMs. Those are NOT hypersonic missiles. Not a single one of those items you listed are. Stop wasting peoples time with your BS.

@N.W. Jonkhart let me get this straight. The Chinese got their tech from AMERICA? the same AMERICA that does not have ONE hypersonic missile in it's arsenal? Name these AMERICAN hypersonic missiles if they exist?
