Great video production, but ask yourself, if all that rocking and rolling is going on...Who shot it, from where and why is so stable?
Having equipment is only half the battle, employing it, with the right personnel, trained to do their job, that is where the US and Britain are exceptional! It takes a lot of mistakes…

It’s an engineering dilemma, make it work as good as it looks!
I was a TM2/SSDV on a 637 class, USS Aspro, SSN-648 and I was considered a heavy on board. The ET’s I talked to were really worried about the systems on board being now so redundant. I had a serious flooding incident on our sub and a lot of water got into electronics and it wasn’t pretty. That they had an ET tech,…
Ever cooked with aluminum...transfers heat really well, that has been the problem, It may not burn, but it’s might as well. Also does not protect as well from blast damage as steel.
The aluminum didn’t burn, but radiated the heat from the fires much easier and higher than steel, that’s why we use it in cooking! It also didn’t offer the blast shielding, which created it’s own problem, by not limiting the damage to near by compartments, which also allowed fires to spread. Its’ pretty much ship…
Yes, they have, and whenever those electronics meets seawater, the results are all the same!

There was a lot of whitewash on many of these reports, because the folks in charge were caught with too much damage from what shouldn’t have been a cataostrophic hit, by the aluminum design, which was my point!

I was qualified on submarines, but a different class. The in-depth knowledge of all submariners of thier vessles is always a point of pride. The tour guide of our group was one of the heavies, a guy whom his shipmates decide knows even more than average. He and I had discussions about the departure from the norm in…
This ship, is the thinking that will get somebody hurt! Think the Falklands, did we forget that lesson? This is a floating expensive disaster. It is a missile/bomb magnet, that once hit, will be a huge inferno, but don’t worry, the flooding as it sinks will put that out!
People do not realize the tremendous amount of engineering that goes into canopies! From the clearness, the strength, the weight, maintenance, even the ability to make it go away when you have to abandon the aircraft. Just the makeup of the acrylic is top secret still, I think. It’s incredible how much goes into the…
The thing I always notice is something an old P-51 pilot told me, always look what the pilot looks like, sitting in his cockpit and what he can see...He told me that the best thing about the P-51 was, it had the best unobstructed view, “we could see them, way before they could see us and that’s a huge difference in a…
I’m seeing that both of these new systems aren’t really going to work for the amount of Marines they quote. Have you seen all the trash and crap loaded onto a Marine today! They outlawed pack mules carting the much stuff! You would be lucky to get 3 marines and their gear in these configurations, and I think that’s…

Walk softly and carry a big stick comes to mind...
The Ausies do seem to have a lot more fun...Seems like they arent affraid of lawyers like we are here...
It looks like Land Rover and a Jeep had a really ugly bastard child, that will do exactly all a Chinese military committee could agree upon!
Be worried, be very worried...All those Russians and no vodka insite...Nothing and I mean nothing gets done without it! If they intend to control anything, vodka will be involved. If it’s not involved, in copious quantities, there won’t be decisions, there will be chaos! Now you know they are in trouble...
You know Tyler, you know more than about anybody about these sorta things and thats why I read what you write and belive what you post! The scary part, so many people believe what others post, who don’t have a clue what they are writing about...
