Just park it anywhere in East L.A. and it'll be dismantled within a couple of hours guaranteed

This showed absolutely nothing about dismantling nuclear subs. It had some subs half dismantled but that was as close to it as it got

My Dad and I were on a beach in Subic Bay Phillipines when I was a boy of about 10 or 11. We were goofing off just kicking around and I looked up and was like WHOA!!. There was a HUGE nuclear submarine coming into port maybe 200 yards away from where we were standing. It was so massive it defies explanation. You kind of just have to see it. It was moving past us in absolute silence. I remember my Dad saying something about there being enough nuclear weapons on board to destroy several countries. It was a truly mind bending experience I will never forget. I've been aboard the USS Drum at the Battleship Alabama memorial park but that thing was rinky dink compared to the one we saw. Amazing machines. The pinnacle of human engineering.

Very cool and informative. Thanks!

One of my friends was a Nuke tech and ended-up getting exposed to Nuclear material during one of these disassemblies and ended-up getting a medical discharge... definitely not an easy or fun job.

6:08 Didn't know Morgan Freeman did some shipyard work on the side but glad my man is following all of his passions

I did this for 10 years at PSNS including Reactor Compartment Disposal. I became more intimate with Submarines than I thought possible or desirable. PSNS has brought Recycle up to an Art form.

It really is insane the size of the military past and present in the USA…..mind boggling!

Half of the 15-minute video was about planes, I guess "The Hypnotic Process of Scrapping US Gigantic $4 Billion Nuclear Submarine" was not so hypnotic.😁

Tell me that the crane operator did not look like a middle-aged Morgan Freeman.

That is one dangerous job right there.Those workers have to be alert every second.

I was in the Navy in the mid to late 1960's and was in New Construction at Electric Boat in Groton Connecticut. The Polk was there at the same time I was and I got to know a number of her crew and was aboard her a few times as she was being built. Interesting to see the end fate. My own boat was commissioned about 3 months after the Polk but we were decomm'd in 1992 and scrapped before she was, also at Bremerton Shipyard.

I've been doing scrapping part time of whatever I come across since the mid 80's, but this is a whole different level especially with nuclear material goes. This video was too short. 😁

Even more impressive is getting the sub into the blue, recycle tote curbside.

Pleasurable video. Thanks. 😊

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is the only Naval Shipyard authorized to scrap U.S. Navy submarines. The reactors are allowed to cool down first. Then all the remaining nuclear fuel is sent to Idaho for reprocessing. The nuclear reactor is encased in steel shielding and sent to Hanford, WA nuclear reservation for disposal. There are some great photos of the nuke reactors graveyard somewhere. Then all that high quality steel of the hull is cut up into manageable chunks, put on railroad cars and sent to steel mills for recycling. It’s a good gig. The welders hate working cut ups because there of the chance of injury. All the 688 (Los Angeles) class submarines that are scheduled to be decommissioned will be scrapped at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. All the early SSBM subs have been cut up. Even the nuclear surface ships, ex USS Long Beach, ex USS Bainbridge, ex USS Truxton, the later CGNs (ex USS Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Virginia) all cut up at PSNS. The scrapping business is a big part of the PSNS mission.

That crane operator wasn't Morgan Freeman,it was his little brother Lester Freeman. Trust me,this is the interwebs,so it's gotta be true!

Morgan Freeman is such a prolific guy

amazing video

I have actually been inolved in this scrapping at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard!!

Proud to be an American and an Infantry Veteran. One thing our Grunts respect from the Navy is the Submariners, that’s not an easy job and deserves respect. And hats off to our incredible ship designers and builders, we’d be nothing without you.

Interesting and very nice video. Many thanks.

I see thousands of airplanes stored in Mojave Ca all my 58 years. Never knew why though…. Thanks, I subbed!

Just amazing!

As a youngster seeing a couple of Los Angeles submarine launchings in Groton was a bit thrilling. However the Ohio class sub under construction in the dry dock next to it left an impression in my mind to this day with it's immense size. Not to mention the potential destructive power it possesses.

I served on some of these boats and I'd call it Terror-F^cking-fying instead of hypnotic. Seeing Hull fractures and rust up close. Realizing the reality that green water was mere fractions of an inch from blasting into the people tank. Most likely in an inaccessible place. Bonefish had her impulse ram carry away and say a fare how you do as it rifled through the watertight bulkhead from Tubes Forward into the Forward Battery. On her way to killing 4 crew members in 1988. Causing such a powerful explosion it broke her keel. Then the sea water and battery acid produced deadly hydrochloric acid fog. cooking the soft respiratory tissue in seconds. Something I'd never forget seeing up close and personal. The accident was predicted. Darter in her overhaul the same year was found to have the same defect. Bonefish decommissioned herself and I believe was sunk as a target. Darter followed 18 months later. Making her final dive to Davy Jones's Locker in 1992 when Tautog slammed a fish into her starboard side just aft of the sail. You can see the video here on KZfaq.

Hello to all This video is extraordinary How to scrap to sub Thank you very much Thanks to you I learned a lot 🇨🇵👍👋🤔 See you soon for another video

Australia will never have to worry about scrapping its nuclear submarines.

Kind of sad to see the old submarine get ceremonially retired like that - Then cannibalized - Followed by the massive boneyards - Maybe the next episode will be optimistic power and might.

I live in Tucson, AZ Home of the 309th AMARC! Pima Air & Space Museum backs into AMARC. They DO provide escorted tours by shuttle around the boneyard.

Interesting...one of the jobs I had years ago when I lived in SE Arizona was to maintain the Digital Electronics Corp computer system that hosted the database for all the planes there at the Boneyard in Tucson at Davis-Monthan AFB. As such I got to spend a lot of time there.....fun job.

Pitiful! Best of luck to all of us!

Across the street from the Pima air museum outside of Tucson

Always thought it was kind of sad seeing all those beautiful war birds left never fly again.

Its not a ship, it's a boat!

Would have been nice if such care was taken with the $90B of equipment abandoned in the "successful" evacuation of Afghanistan to keep all that technology out of enemy hands.

The sheer spectacle of observing the precise and deliberate disassembly of a colossal engineering marvel, akin to the artistry of expertly cutting through a magnificent fish, is nothing short of mesmerizing. It's truly captivating to witness the meticulous process unfold, revealing the intricate inner workings and hidden complexities of a submarine as if delicately slicing through the layers of a freshly caught fish.

Why do your videos talk less about the actual topic and more on other slightly related stuff? Like all your videos?

Is there a way to purchase parts of the fuselage for personal use or transport to ones home?

GOOD

(Just one),Was a 4-Billion Dollar floating machine.🤔

nice

6:07 Morgan Freeman as a crane operator 😂😂

'Sir I hear the order sir.. Just if I follow your orders I feel I should say that, if successful, we will never be able to eat Tuna ever again sir '

Ótimo.

I was on the 600 when we entered PSNS drydock with the 602, have pics. This was in 1980.

The USS Key West was spotted entering Puget Sound this month. I've driven by the Base multiple time, surreal sight to see.

07:45 I thought this was going to be about submarines but they Flutus again.

Submarines once !

At 1:07 they are boats not ships!

Worked on the Polk at refit 1 Holy Loch.

Curious to where the video material is from, particularly the older material from the subs? Why don't you credit any material sources?

Algum programa brasileiro deveria ver esse vídeo e transliterar pro nosso idioma também

I got to work on the james k polk sub in Holy Loch, Scotland while there in the Navy aboard USS Canopus for 17 months.

what exactly is "Hypnotic" about the process?

Man let me have one of them f 15 ....I promise to put in my garage and take care I it!!

There is somethting extremely sad about the decommissioning, or scrapping, of any vehicle. But the decommissioning of a ship is especially sad.

Morgan Freeman the crane operator.😝

Well, the "2-4-11 of Love(恋の2-4-11)" PTSD from KanColle kicks in......

my friend there is so much of plane in this world and me never trivia in 1

Morgan Freeman at minute 6:09 !!! Driving the Crane!!!

In old movies the men standing on the sail had enough room to play cards, and today it's very little

More related to aircraft, Eastern Airlines 401 which crashed in Florida had parts reused on other L1011 A/C and many of them reported haunting of the dead crew members

While interesting, that was a lot less about the submarine than I expected.

Wouldn't it be great if you could solve every problem by first blowing it up with explosives? Then the job is easier AND you got to blow stuff up!

Very interesting, but suddenly jumps to aircrafts, and hush about the subs nuclear reactors.

I was mildly surprised at a USN nuke sub scrapping. This is the 1st I can recall of such an event with a USN nuke sub.. Wasn't expecting much as even a 30 year old nuke sub is still classified in many areas. It really didn't delve to deeply into an overall scrapping, I get that. Plus it's done in a secure yard and even the yard birds have some sort of clearance to do their job. One thing for sure it's a tough, dirty and dangerous job. Glad we have shipyard workers who do this for us.

Only use i have for a sub is, to savage things

this is interesting

0:57 I know 4 of those dudes lol

un rejunte de imagenes

There is a Huge Bone Yard here in Tucson , As kids ,. my friends and I used to sneak in there and play all day ! It only had an old run-down fence around it then,

Power of the sun leagues under the sea.

Shouldn't scrap them you my need them. Cried when the scraped the Uss john c Calhoun SSBN630. Even an old boat is better than no boat in a time of war

The F-15 I crewed is in that boneyard somewhere.

To me it best to do way with subs. Like the battle ships! Jet bombers can get there faster! Subs can be detected from the air. This would leave LOTS MORE MONEY > For better and more useful military Equipment ! Like Exoskeleton Soldiers ect ect.

Sun are still extremely useful especially as a deterrent.

👍

Seus videos sao ótimos... Mas seriam melhores ainda se tivessem pelo menos as legendas em português...

excellent video, but it is a pity that they do not go into detail about the decommissioning of nuclear components, and the supervision of the UN on this... before proceeding to the sectioning of the resistant hull! greetings from Argentina

Might want to keep them up and running regardless...might need them in a few years...strength in numbers..better keep them seaworthy...

Better share to your allies those equipment rather tha dismantling

@6:40, "God drives crane"

hello what is the music used in the video

استغفر الله العظيم واتوب اليه

very sad

Do the military believe in darkside?

I HEARD THAT THE SAIL WAS SENT TO A NUC MUSEUM IN NEVADA.

Crazy!

1:19 can someone explain me what's this small flag in the big flag is?? it looks like a flag that i know

a submarine is not a ship it is a boat

What was the steam comming out near the con?

stars and bars at 1.20

Background music is distracting.

"if applicable"? every us sub is nuclear. the us navy hasnt had diesel electric boat since blueback was decommissioned in 1990.

Stop it with the hypnotic…

Ha Ha ! Been there done that, got the tiny burn scars to prove it.

o processo hipnotico de desmontar um submarino, dai na metade do video a gente fala de avião, godô forte ta maluco youtube ta foda

How many woman worked on this project just because you mentioned them just curious
