Steel MenAdded:
Hello, hello. Welcome to Cold Waters, everybody.
Happy Wednesday, hump day, middle of the week. Hope y'all are enjoying it. I think we're getting ready for another weekly session of some Cold War submarine fighting. What do you guys think? Hey, how you doing? Yeah, I'm wearing a jacket today because it's freaking cold again. What happened to winter? I thought spring was here. The winter's back, man.
H. So, I get to break out the jacket one last time, I guess. Let's go ahead and load up our campaign. We're doing North Atlantic 1984 in the venerable Astute class submarine, and it is going to be awesome.
We're going to have a good time today.
Where are we at? There, we're down here.
Okay, briefing.
What's my uh what do we got to do here?
Well, we got to put some uh weapons.
Just like that. We got to put some weapons in there. Let's do this. How many how many torpedoes we got? We got 12. Uh make that 14. 14 torpedoes and one decoy. All right.
What's our order say to do? Oh, we got to go back and get some TAMs. Son of a gun. All right. Today we're starting off this uh stream with a TAM mission.
Everyone's favorite.
So if you're new here and you have never experienced TAM mission, well just go ahead and skip this video and save yourself all that therapy with your doctor.
Oh crap. Yeah, even the game doesn't want to do it. Even the game's like, "No."
So, what we got to do with the TAM mission is attack a land target with eight missiles.
Simple enough, right? Well, the 688 only has four torpedo tubes, flight one. The Astute has six.
So, how in the world are we going to get eight missiles on target? Well, that means we got to shoot twice. So, what do you do between those two shots? A lot of running and screaming and crying.
Shivering in the corner as the depth charges and torpedoes get air dropped all about thyself. Yeah. So, that is what we're going to do today. That's how we're starting today off. Uh probably the loss of our submarine, which hey, we just get to pick another submarine. That's not so bad, right?
Uh we're going to need a lot of decoys.
I'm not going to have any decoys loaded to use them. So, I don't know what's going on with that. Yeah, it's not good.
Uh, let's do a quick check with the crowd over here. All you crowd of hooligans, how you doing?
Uh, who do we have? We got Joe who's here. How's it going, Joe? Scud Buster, good to see everybody. Matty D Rosy's here. Good. Good. Well, I hope y'all are having a great day. Thanks for hanging out with me on a Wednesday. It's kind of fun. It's what we do around here every Wednesday right here. You, me, playing some games. Just chitchatting about the Cold War, about how things used to be back in the good old days.
All right. Did Did we load eight weapons? Let me verify. We We have eight T lamps.
Let's go.
I'm not sure where we're I should probably read the orders again because I don't know what city we're supposed to hit. It's either Merman, Grankia, or Archangel.
And I don't know which one.
Uh, is it Merman?
That's not so bad.
It's still going to be shallow water.
We're still going to probably get wrecked.
Uhoh, we ran into somebody. Who can it be now?
What do you say we get a little bit aggressive? Let's start with 10,000 yards today. Sub on sub, oneon-one. Probably a type six. Kula Sierra, maybe a Victor 3 if we're lucky.
Definitely the gatekeeper to the Barren Sea is who we just ran into. He bears 115. We're on course east.
He's on >> lost contact for ultra quiet. Oh, look at her. This is our fine British submarine.
Smells like warm tea >> and nostalgia >> for how good things used to be.
>> I can't pick on the Brits too much today. We're we're using their sub and it's pretty good.
I got to As an American, I'm contractually obligated. to make fun of the British at least once a day.
>> For 1812, you know what you guys did?
You burnt down our White House with the Canadians. Those guys, we're watching them. Freaking Canada up there. Getting all getting all lippy.
Sorry. Okay. Not sure where I was going with that.
All right. Hey, let's classify some contacts. How about we do that? Yeah.
Let's play the game instead of talking about fake geopolitics that I make up in my mind. Yeah.
Oh god, we're we're we're coming in hot today. We're already off the off the rails on in the first 10 minutes.
What the hell happened? They're like, I don't know. He just started talking about Canada. It went downhill from there.
I got PTSD from 1812. Okay.
Hey, you know what we did is we built a new White House and it's even getting a ballroom now, huh? Yeah. Thanks. You guys were just helping us with the demo.
You got to do demo before you can remodel. You got to do it.
Canada was saving us money. Appreciate that.
Helping us out.
Well, one thing's for sure. This ain't a submarine.
I mean, that is, but what we're tracking is not.
The hell is it? Oh. Oh.
Uh oh.
That's not good. I think I know what it is. Let's try this again because I think I know what it is. Uh oh.
Oh Jesus. Oh dingle. As they say. Oh my word.
Please don't be a noodle. No. No. No.
Not a noodle.
Oh. Oh no.
What the heck is it? Is this a merchant?
Okay, hold on. Hold on. It might be a merchant. Hey, listen. I've been meaning to get my merchant tonnage. So, I'll think a merchant, too.
Not No, I'm not afraid.
Okay. Oh my god, it doesn't line up for anybody.
Okay, fine. You know what? What do you say we shoot it and then we can look at it as it sinks? Let's do that.
>> Come right.
>> Clearly sonar doesn't know what they're doing. So, we're going to have to get within visual range and take a little pixie poo out the periscope. So, I head full. Got to burn some of those zooies back in the reactor because sonar doesn't know what the hell they're doing.
>> Somebody wake up the sonarmen.
>> Sonar lost contact.
>> Somebody check on them. Make sure they're wearing their headphones in there.
1 2 faded.
>> Good lord.
>> Maneuvering turns.
>> We are turning to engage, sir.
>> We are riding to the sound of the cannons.
>> Confir.
>> Aggressive.
Must be aggressive in submarine warfare or else you will be the victim.
>> Shoot first. Shoot often.
You can't miss if you're surrounded.
These are all axioms.
I'm not exactly Sunzoo. I'm I'm American Zoo.
No, I'm working on the name. It's a work in progress.
Got to come up with a Sunzoo title for me in my submarine axioms.
Somebody says, "Happy war crime Wednesday." Yeah, as much as listen YouTube, I have tried to curtail the audience.
They will not be dissuaded. It is war crime Wednesday.
Nothing I can do about it. Yeah. A zoo like the animal place. Yeah. Yeah.
So, what we're going to do, uh, how far away are these guys? They're not very far. We're just going to run over here, uh, do another sonar search, make sure there's no nasty surprises, because there probably is. And then we're going to go periscope depth, take a look at them, see what they are. Help sonar out a little bit because they can't seem to do their job.
These are all things I've heard before, you know, as the sonarmen. I'm like, [ __ ] Sorry. We're trying, Captain.
They were like gripping the freaking handles on the sonar screen going, "Come on, man. Help me out. Give me something." You know, listen, it's a whole process. Yelling at the computer is part of the creative process. This is what I keep telling the officers of the deck. Please ignore the sounds coming from sonar. It's how we do our voodoo in there. We have to chant a little bit.
Got to burn some scents, some uh smelling salts a little bit. You know, the cries of the willing are consensual.
I promise. You know, I know it's the newest guy on board the submarine. He's learning the ways. We're teaching him the ways of the sonar.
Eventually, we're going to come up with a classification for you.
A bump of coke. Yeah.
Listen, if you want a productive sailor, legalize that stuff. I'm telling you, man. G GDP in America would go through the roof.
Everybody be working.
A lot of cursing in Sonar. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Under our breath. Because there's an open mic in Sonar um that records everything, every sound.
It's open mic. So, um, you got to watch what you say because it will be replayed in the court of law should something go wrong. And sometimes even if something goes right, it gets replayed in the court of law. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. The open mic got me a couple times early in my career. I quickly learned to keep my mouth shut in sonar, especially when things were not going well. Don't say nothing. Hand signals. I look like a freaking referee out there, you know.
Yeah.
All right, we're pretty close now to these jabberwockies.
Let's go ahead and slow down. Come up.
Periscope depth.
>> Knotsing eye.
>> Let's uh see who we got going on out there. Find out who this mystical contact is that sonar has no idea of.
regained contact.
>> So, um, when I was in sonar schooling >> between submarine school, so I'm already in submarines, right? I mean, I'm already designated to go to a sub eventually, but I'm still in school, but I haven't gone to sonar school yet.
maneuvering, making turns.
>> There's a bunch of uh electronic schools you go to before then.
>> And I was in one of my electronic schools and I had a a fellow student who was going to become either a radio man or some kind of electronics, it was an electronic school, so I had lots of different jobs in there, fire control, sonar, radio, and I really think we had electronics um ETSs in there as well.
And uh he was acting weird one day, and keep in mind, I'm like 19 years old. I don't know what the hell's going on.
I've never I lived in a small town my whole life of like 10,000 people, no internet, public school funding failures, barely graduated. I know nothing.
This guy's acting kind of weird at his desk. The instructors around lunchtime uh come in, like all five of them that rotate around throughout the schedule and ask him what's wrong and he's just kind of flipping out and I'm thinking he's maybe having a seizure, like it's a medical emergency. They escort him out of the classroom and I never see the guy again. and he's just gone. And I found out later that he had overdosed on his prescription cough syrup that he had got from the uh I guess the clinic or the hospital or they're kind of the same at GR New London subbase.
And he drank like half the bottle, you know, of this Robbitasen or whatever it was. I don't know the brand name. I'm making that up. And uh he was tripping hard and uh really fre and they kicked him out of the school. He's gone. I don't know where he went. I don't think they kicked him out of the Navy, but he was definitely kicked out of submarines for sure. All right, so we got a another contact. We're going to What's his bearing there? Or we're going to blah blah blah. Bearing 133. All right, let's let's raise the periscope.
>> He'll help a gooa out. 133 is right there. All right, sonar. Uh oh.
Let's see what we got here.
This is a uh a single stack. Um good lord. Penta mast. Five or six mast merchant ship.
There you go.
>> All right. Sonar has been >> informed.
>> Mark the charts. Uh oh. Well, between us and the merchant ship, there is a Sierra 2. Perhaps we should take another look at Zero.
Maybe if I can click the right button.
Let's find out. Is he a whiskey? Nope.
Romeo? Nope. Foxtrot? Nope. He's probably in a coola right off our bow.
You morons.
I wouldn't say the word morons out loud in sonar. I would usually say sir.
Yeah, usually I said sir when I meant [ __ ] That was kind of my go-to. Said sir a lot in the Navy.
Oh, ballistic missile submarine. No.
Kind of close though. Delta almost lines up.
It's almost a Delta. It's so close to being a Delta. I really want to make it a Delta. Is it a whale? It better No, there's no way a whale has six lines.
I mean, that's that's a whale. That's off the chain, bro.
Yeah.
>> Sonar Sierra 2.
>> Oh, it's a kiloed as submerged submarine.
>> How did we not get that? Hold on a second.
Did I just not go by the kilo? Romeo Fox tango kilo. What the hell? Am I not looking at the right contact? I'm not.
Okay, that line. No, no, no it lines up.
Son of a [ __ ] Okay. Apparently, I'm the sir. I was talking to myself.
All right, sonar. You've redeemed yourself. Well done.
>> Come left 09.
>> Pray for me.
>> Lord have mercy. We're off to a rough start. There he is right there.
How are we not shot by this thing? I don't know. By the pure grace of Aquaman, we are still alive.
All hail the fin.
His dolphin blessing be upon us.
Turn this ship around.
Goodness gracious. He's right there.
We were about to sail into history. We weren't even going to get a chance to launch the TAMs, which I would argue is the better outcome.
>> This TAM mission is horrible. It's so painful.
>> Sonar new contact bearing one Sierra.
>> Uhoh. We have a new one. A sister.
Let's find out who he is.
Well, well, well. It's a lot like a kilo. So, it's probably a tango. Boom.
>> Sierra is classified as submerged submarine.
>> That is very interesting. We got a tango and a kilo. The threat here obviously is the kilo. Plus, he's the closest >> 200.
>> How deep is the water?
Pretty deep. All right, we got 2,000 feet of water beneath beneath us. So, that's what we're going to do. We're going to go deep. I'm going to shoot both these knuckleheads, by the way.
We're gonna do a double shot and we're gonna get both of them.
That's what we're going to do.
What we gonna do?
I could take the merchant, too. We're going to try not to do that, but that may happen anyway. You never know.
We're heading down to our attack depth, which could be 1100 feet for science reasons.
>> 1 >> at 2/3.
>> When attacking diesel submarines, we always use active son >> on the torpedoes. So that's what we put over there. bearing one one zero.
Contact faded.
>> Contacts will be faded. Um I'm surprised we actually have the kilo still. Uh we'll slow down, regain contact. Uh verify position on CR3, assuming we maintain contact through CR2 through the indive, and then we'll uh attack both.
Yeah, I intend 090 to be my evasion course.
We will attack at 2/3 10 knots with tubes one and tubes two.
both our spearfish torpedoes.
That's how that's going to happen.
And then we get blown up. Probably a double tap. Yeah, somebody pilgrims been mind mapping firepoint procedures all morning. Oh my gosh.
Oh, that's funny.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, somewhere over here is the kilo.
Wow. You know what we can do?
I have an idea.
I can use my attack on the kilo to distract and decoy the tango.
So, we're going to launch one weapon at the kilo that he'll respond to, but so will the tango. The tango will run over here and shoot over here probably. I mean, he might even hit the kilo with his own weapon and and then we'll shoot the kilo and then we'll shoot the tango as he's busy managing that fight. That's not even us.
That's kind of the That's what the geometry is telling me right now.
>> I've checked the ancient scrolls. It's prophesized.
That's how it's going to play out. Okay, we're on depth. Let's go ahead and uh verify position of the tango. I had one third.
>> We're looking to regain CR3.
>> I want to verify bearing. So, this was his old bearing and sonar should regain him here in a second. We'll see how far off he is.
>> Sonar regained contact.
>> All right, so he is going south. Similar to the kilo possible target 2 turn towards >> maneuvering.
>> All right, let's figure out what Kilo is doing before we do anything else. So, um CR3, the tango is down here.
If if uh CR3 hears our shot and shoots uh in our direction after we shoot, then we will snapshot him and run northeast.
But I want to see where Kilo is cut.
Kilo's turning right now.
He might be steady on course. He just did a little course correction there.
This is a very good leg for us to shoot Kilo on. Not a good leg for Tango.
Yeah.
So, uh, for selfpreservation reasons, we're going to maneuver here.
So, if he bears 180. Oh, wow. We can't maneuver very much. Um, about 070. Wow. All right. We're going to come left course 070.
>> Come left two 070. Uh, by making this course change, we should get better bearings on CR3 and a good cross on those bearings, which may give us his position.
Head 2/3 >> turns one.
>> So, on our previous leg, we had a series of bearings on the tango. Now, we're on a new course. We're going to get another series of bearings, you know, line line over time, >> and those will cross at some point. And he'll be uh minimum range is that cross if he's not moving, but of course he is.
Therefore, he's a little bit beyond that depending on how fast he's going and what course he's on.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We assume he's not dead in the water. That's why he's never at the cross of the cross bearings.
There's other reasons, too, but that's a big one. Okay. Uh we're man, we're able to maintain track at this speed. Uh what's the range to CR2?
CR2 range is 4800 yards. I want to shoot him at 65.
And that will give us time to uh localize Tango a little bit more.
Honestly, whenever you're dealing with diesel boats, rarely will you have a track that looks this good on your plot.
You'll usually have this a point and you're like plus or minus 5,000 yards, captain. You know, let Lockheed figure it out. Let loheed figure it out. Shoot the Loheed torpedo. Loheed torpedo figures it out. Yeah, that's that's kind of how you do diesel boats in reality.
So he is going south more southwest but similar to the kilo's course. Kilo for some reason escorting Tango. That's interesting. Normally you would expect that to be flopped. Tango would be the bait but not this time.
Not this time.
I really want Tango to not hear our launch, but definitely hear our weapon whenever it's down. You know, like in this box downst.
>> All right, we lost track at 5,000 yards.
>> Right.
Here we go. Are you guys ready?
We got this.
Okay. intend on doing a deliberate attack on CR2 on generated bearing with tube one spearfish torpedo uh medium to high active homing search u standby for snapshot on Sierra 3 after launch when he attacks because he will attack at some point. Any questions?
All right. Firing point procedure Sierra 2 the kilo bearing 197.
Solution is bearing 197. Course 2000.
Speed 5 knots. Range 5.100 yds. Medium confidence. Ship safety is fence.
Weapons ready. Ships ready. Shoot tube one.
>> Shoot tube one. I sir.
>> Standby. Snapshot on tube two.
Got to drink my tang like the astronauts drink.
I feel like I'm in space.
Tango did not hear a launch. That's really good.
That is really good.
Will this be on the final? Yeah, this is all on the final.
Believe me, by the time we're done, you guys are going to be sonarmen. You guys are going to be able to You're not going to be qualified submarines. You have to do that on your own. But you you'll qualify. You'll be able to pass the basic sonar operator test uh whenever I'm done with you. You you'll be able to sit on a stacked pon a pair of headphones and not be an idiot. No, no, no, no. You'll still be an idiot, but you'll be wearing some nice headphones.
They're Sony. Yeah, it's nice.
Studio monitors. Whoa. That means they're expensive. That's what that means.
These are conversations we have as the torpedo swims because there's not much for sonar to do at this point. Well, there's actually a lot, but there's nothing we could talk about about what sonar does at this point. Surprisingly, sonar is probably busier than fire control right now.
>> Fire control weapon acquired.
>> We're almost as busy as that torpedo is.
Well, Tango did not shoot.
That's interesting.
Tango's probably going to evade. Let's see what he's doing here. He's speeding up.
Six.
>> Okay, we're in the kilo's baffles. He should not >> fire acap counter measure homing.
>> All right, so the tango is going to evade to the south now. We can do a deliberate attack on him.
>> Weapon acquired.
>> All right, finepoint procedures on Sierra 3. A tango bearing 165.
System solution is course 185. Speed 12 knots. Speeding up. Maneuvering to the left. Range 4100 yards. Check fire for target Zigg. He's still maneuvering.
>> All right. Tango is slowing down. Lot explosion on the bearing of CR2.
All right, target is alerted. Firing point procedures on Sierra 3. The tango bearing 18 correction 166.
System solution is course 110. Steady at 6 knots. Range 4200 yards. High confidence. Target is alerted. Ship safety is fence. Weapons ready. Ships ready. Sonar is ready. And hard fire.
Tube two.
>> Shoot two.
We got weapon in the water. Fire clearance maneuver complete. Up and running normally as prophesized.
The fool.
Tango is looking to the west to figure out what happened. I'm going to steer the weapon to the west to give him something to find as we toy with our food before we eat it.
Alonzo. There we go. That's who I was thinking of yesterday. We were talking about the Rumble moderator, Alonzo, and we were talking with uh Angel room 2 ready.
>> And Angel was like, "Not me, not it.
What do you call a nervous submarine?" I don't know. This might be funny.
Aussiey's got jokes, everybody.
Everybody pay attention to Aussie.
Oh, >> he hears us.
Uh oh. So, he finally did hear the torpedo. He needs to shoot this direction, so we're going to be okay.
No, blue stew. No. No. Um, wifey's got the car today, so I'm stuck at the house. Yeah. Yeah. No, I couldn't go get my coffees today, but I got astronaut drink instead. Console noise bearing 1.
Um, yeah, we're a onec car family in the winter time.
Summertime, she's got her own car. It's fancy, but it's a it's a summer car. It's not a winter car.
Okay.
Oh, we lost target. Enable the weapon.
>> Control weapon acquired.
>> The moment you lose the target, you might as well let the weapon search for it.
And there he goes.
>> Oh, good call.
>> Look at that. Well done, sir. Bravo. I applaud your torpedo beats.
And by the way, that's us in the background over there.
He's changing depth. Look at the noise makers. He's changing depth. And he's also changing course.
This is a good captain.
It will not change the outcome. It will only delay it. Yeah. Uhoh. What you going to do? What you going to do? Huh?
Huh?
No, sonar lost contact. Sierra 3 last bearing 1 7.
>> That's what happens. That's what happens, you know. Sometimes you just get blown up by the spear fish cuz he didn't launch decoy in time. But you did a good job. He did a good He he decoyed the torpedo at least once. Had multiple countermeasures in the water. Change of depth, change of course. About as much as you can do as a diesel boat.
Bravo. golf clap. All right, now let's move on to the actual mission.
We're going to shoot some tomahawks and then we're going to run like hell because that's what we do.
We going to shoot some tomahawks and uh oh, that plane went right overhead. Oh lordy. Okay.
So, we're probably uh I think we're detected pretty much.
I'm going to go I'm going to show you this. I'm going to load up. All we have is the torpedo tubes. We don't have VLS.
The king couldn't afford the VLS, so he gave us two extra torpedo tubes instead.
And we were like, "Thanks."
All right. So, I'm going to look. We're going to shoot four and four. This leaves me a torpedo tube for a decoy so we can run like hell. And I'm going to shoot a torpedo at the nearest warship that's hunting us. There guarantees going to be one after that flipping airplane went overhead. Okay, are we all clear?
Uh, the range doesn't matter. We're shooting a land target. So, here we go.
Oh, we got to do battle stations. Yeah.
shift for ultra quiet.
>> All right, let's take a look at the map.
There's our two targets.
I'm going shoot four at the first one and then we'll reload. Shoot for the second one. There is no deep water.
Deepest water is bearing 330 though.
And oh, surprisingly deeper water than I expected. 500 feet with a very strong layer. So, we can come down to 250 ft and reload below the layer. That might save us.
>> We're also going to get on our evasion course.
>> We're just going to run 330 until there's a reason not to, like a torpedo in front of us.
new contact 2.
>> Probably a lot of fishing trwers, lot of coastal merchants running up and down the coast.
>> These don't mean that they're warships.
So, let's get on sonar and see if we can figure out who CR2 is. Let's bring him up.
Uh CR2 is a warship.
See if it's a warship. I'm going to check the warships first.
Uh oh. Hope it's not a Cara. That would be bad. But it might be a merchant. I hope it is. Oh, yep.
>> Con sonar Sierra 2 is classified as merchant.
Conar Sierra 1 is classified as merchant.
>> All right, we got a bunch of merchants out there.
The one right in front of us is a little concerning.
Let's double check his classification real quick before we start shooting missiles out of the water. We have like no data on this guy CR2.
All right, let's go through the warships one more time.
Huh.
Yeah, it's not a warship. Okay.
I guess we're going to run right by a merchant on our way out of here.
>> Sierra is classified as merchant.
>> Okay. Uh, firing point procedures missile land attackive.
>> The mission's already programmed into the missile. So, all we do is do that.
>> We shoot the decoy towards mother Russia. Yes, sir.
>> And then we're going to go evasion.
Let's go there. Let's go Mercy Deep sonar. We are cavitating sonar. No longer.
>> Start reloading all those missiles again.
>> Want to get down below that layer.
>> Make turns for 5 knots. Maneuvering eye.
>> Passing 200 ft.
Okay, pull the nose up on this thing.
Thing maneuvers pretty nicely.
Head full.
>> KN.
>> All right, we're down here at 300 ft.
>> Maneuvering turns for two.
>> Hoping that they chase the decoy while we reload. We're going to reload a second decoy as well.
Uh >> oh, that's not good.
torpedo room ready.
That's our decoy over there. We'll see what happens.
Hey, Vinyl's here. How's it going, Vinyl?
Oh, uh, Brun. Yeah, it was fun. I didn't see you. I mean, I saw you join the server yesterday, but I didn't see your character in this in the game. So, which is okay, which is good. You know, if I ever come across you guys like naturally while playing the game, we'll uh we'll trade trade you something. I I can make good tools now. So, that's the important thing. People need tools to >> survive in Seven Days Die video game.
That's the game we play off and on throughout the week. I don't always stream it. Sometimes I'm just on there playing it on on our community server.
Did that Ugra go active?
No. This is from these two down here.
Okay, that's good.
So, we should be getting torpedoes in the water here pretty soon.
>> Torpedo room ready.
>> All right, we have three of our four tomahawks reloaded, so we're about ready to strike again.
It kind of works out that we have this very strong thermal layer right above us. Like we're right below it, hiding, kind of running away.
You'll trade all my bullets, all all your bullets for my inventory.
I I've been working hard on my inventory. It was a lot of mining and digging up clay and stuff.
>> Torpedo room.
>> Talk about the Seven Days to Die game for just a second. Yesterday whenever we were playing that um I kept running out of clay. I couldn't believe it. I was like of all the things to run out of.
That's usually what you have too much of in your inventory. But it's because I got three forges going now sucking up all the clay. Plus I had to make cobblestone on top of that.
I think now that I'm done with the cobblestone for the most part, we'll start seeing like lots of clay in the inventory. We'll start chucking it out. But yeah, this is a good time. It was fun game.
All right, we're reloading the fourth tomahawk. It's almost there.
So, we we know they launched at us. Uh I never saw >> it.
How far away is that? Oh, all right. All right, the torpedoes are just now splashing into the water behind us.
There's one right there.
All right, torpedoes are loaded. We're ready to go shallow and fire again. But I want to make sure this torpedo doesn't have us.
Okay, it doesn't look like he does have us. So, let's uh come to periscope depth.
>> That's a helicopter.
>> Let's not go to periscope depth.

>> Oh, it's not a helicopter.
>> Uhoh.
How far away is that? That's not very far.

>> I'm going to actually get up in the layer itself cuz I have a helicopter above the layer looking down on me. I have the torpedoes below.

>> Excellent. Excellent. All right, we have a brief window here while they reload to shoot our weapons.

>> All right. So we just made a huge smoke plume for the helicopter to come drop a bomb on.
>> So let's leave. Let's get out of here.
>> Launch all the decoys.
>> Lost contact last 200 ft.
>> We're already below the layer.
Excellent.
>> Sonar no longer cavitating.
>> Not cavitating. Excellent.
Now he will definitely drop something back there. Might be a death charge. I don't know.
But we are going to keep running towards deep water.
I >> All right. So, we've we've completed the mission. All we have to do now is give the missiles time to hit the target.
That's important. And then uh escape.
Don't die.
That's the big thing.
Tell the helicopter what you're doing your best.
>> Helm. Steady course.
>> You guys calm down. You need to calm down, sir.
>> Ready.
Hey, Flosso's here. How's it going, >> Flo?
You're not wrong, sir.
You're not wrong. I really wanted to shoot a torpedo down there, but with all the decoys, all it would do is suck up our own weapon. So, let's see if our our tomach are still in flight, maybe.
Yeah, I think we have to wait for these guys to hit the target. So, this might be a few minutes.
>> Yeah.
>> Torpedo room two ready.
>> It's okay. We'll just run.
Uh oh. Oh, no. We did get credit for the land strike. Eight of eight. Okay. So, all we have to do now is get away from the weapons. Yay.
So, where's where's the other weapon at?
Let's check the chart here.
Uh, probably a weapon there.
Yeah, you can hear it. Okay.
Playable subs has its own missions.
I don't know.
Am I swave? What? No way.
>> Listen, I didn't even look in the mirror.
So now, now I'm all self-conscious. Thanks a lot, Pistol. Thanks for bringing out the anxiety in me.
Might have to go take a break and make sure my hair is okay. I probably should have combed my hair before I came on the stream. Probably should have done that. Yeah.
I get out of bed and I kind of just matt it down with my hand, ready for the day.
Women will take 20 minutes to get everything ready for the day. Not this guy. I had a bed ready.
>> Torp ready.
Yay, we won.
Oh my god, that was a lot of contacts.
And we didn't sink any of them.
Holy smokes.
We could have gone mad. Instead of shooting decoys, if we were shooting spearfish, all of these could have been targets. Oh my word.
Anyway, we did the mission, got out of there. Very surgical, very strategic like.
Yeah.
Uh oh. They don't want us to come back and rearm and reload. They want us to keep fighting.
Wow. In other words, stay where you are.
That's what these orders say. Do not come back. Stay in the barren sea. Man, it is too shallow here, dude.
It is way too shallow.
Continue on course.
Oh, Shiza. We just got ambushed.
That happened fast.
Well, I'm going to keep him at 20,000 yards because we are going to be running for our life.
What I'm going to do, I'm just going to shoot.
I'm just going to shoot everything. I've got four weapons loaded right now. There they are. You see that? Four weapons.
And uh I'm I don't care what bearing he gets detected on, he's getting a freaking spare.
All right. What's his bearing? 149. I'm gonna keep him out at 25,000 yards, man.
Because the only way we're going to evade another weapon is by running from it. So, we need a lead. We need an advantage. That's what that 25 means.
That's our advantage.
>> Sonar lost for ultra quiet.
>> My god, how shallow is this?
It is 500 ft again. Yay. Sonar new contact bearing 1.
>> Once we get on course, we are going to >> new contact bearing 0.
>> One's probably him.
>> Sier 2. We still have We'll bring that up for you guys.
>> CR2 looks like a merchant. I'm not even worried about him. Let's see. Let's see if we can get Oh, man.
really not a merchant.
Wow, it's not. Okay, let's figure out who CR2 is.
>> Con sonar new contact bearing 1 9 >> con sonar new contact bearing 0 6 5 Sierra 4.
>> It lines up for nothing. Okay. CR3 >> sonar.
>> All right. That's a Romeo >> is classified as submerged submarine.
>> CR4.
What is CR4?
Not that.
Oh, that's a whale. Okay, hold on a second. Let me find the whale. Where's the whale at in this menu?
dive back.
>> Whale whale. Whale.
Oh my gosh. Where is it? Whale. Whale.
There is whale.
>> Sonar Sierra 4 is classified as biologic.
>> Okay, those are whales up there. That's the Romeo. We could actually just leave if we wanted to. That might be the better choice.
Head 2/3 knots maneuvering.
>> Const.
>> All right, I'm going to open up a little bit of range and then uh I may lob a little something something down there to keep them busy.
But we have um so there's a submarine contact down here far away distant >> uh diesel boat can't keep up with us. So we can walk away from him over time. So if we want to spend the next couple hours, we could just get further and further away or we could just sink him.
We could do that. All right. So we're going to do uh head two/3 maneuvering eye.
All right, we're going to walk away from him for a few minutes.
>> So, I would be a lot more aggressive if these were submarines, by the way, CR2C4, because we would need to deal with them. But we're already past the point of closest approach with this Romeo. And we're opening range right now. If we do nothing but what we're doing right now, we win.
But I think what we'll do instead is uh shoot them.
All right. Snapshot tube one on CR3.
Shoot tube one.
Zing.
Okay. And then we'll keep doing what we're doing because this is how we're going to escape is by running away from these guys.
Oh yeah. That's good stuff. That's the good stuff right there.
You guys want me to shoot the whales, too? No.
Got to protect the whales.
That's what the Jane Fonda said.
I don't know if she said that.
Uh oh. Damn.
Somebody's shooting at us.
So, I enabled the weapon a little bit early. Okay, our bearing is good.
That's our weapon. Somewhere over here is an incoming weapon something.
Oh yeah.
Fire control weapon acquired.
>> Hey.
>> All right, that means we can go. Head flank. Let's get out of here.
>> Kning eye.
Sonar lost contact. Fire control. We've lost the wire. All right. Post launch tube one.
sonar noise.
>> He's getting close.
>> We'll see an explosion off in the distance here in a second.
Any second now.
Just right about now.
>> Sonar noise bearing 1.
>> All right, there he is. So, he's right about here where my red cursor is at.
Making turns for 30 knots.
>> We We are moving. We're moving some water around the subs. What we're doing?
Got that pump going in the back.
Epic Dragon, how are you?
Good to see some returning faces. See you guys again.
>> Hey, there he is. Sierra last bearing one.
>> Oh, he exploded.
Now we just got to evade this incoming weapon that we don't even see yet.
Oh, there it is. I see it. It's right there.
Yeah.
Okay, we should be able to get away from it.
See it snaking behind us back there.
It's right there.
Uh, Sierra 1 might be a contact of interest. Let's head this way.
>> 04 helm conel. Steady course.
>> He's going off. We're just trying to open range that weapon.
Oh crap.
That's not good.
>> I Well, well, well.
Let's take another look at these whales.
>> Come left two.
>> Oh my god. Helm.
>> Turns out they may be communist whales.
A little bit of letism in one of them.
I smell the workers. People >> regained contact on The people's worker. I smell the people's worker.
>> Smells like kimchi.
>> Oh my god. All right. Which one of you two is pretending to be a whale? You know that's against the Geneva Convention to pretend to be a whale. You can't do that.
>> But you could be Sierra 5.
>> He's hiding in amongst the whales. Very clever. Clever girl.
>> Maneuvering turns for five.
>> Clever girl. All right, let's bring up the sonar. Let's see what happens this time.
Oh my word.
How are we going to do this? So, the Romeo was just a decoy was all that was.
Huh?
How are we going to do this?
All right. How many decoys do we have total? We only have two, so let's hold on to them. Let's send armed reconnaissance. That's a decoy with a warhead, also called a torpedo. Kind of out over that direction. Just see what happens. We're going to do a little little recon and force here.
That's what this is.
It's like a It's a decoy, but with consequences.
Yeah, this is these are all things I'll be putting out at the court marshal from the witness stand as the accused as the defendant.
I need to write my own operating procedures so that I can point to them in the court of law and say it's in the book. If it's in the book, you got to do it.
Keep in mind, I wrote the book, you know.
Oh man, hit two/3.
>> Five's getting feisty.
>> Knots maneuvering.
I know it doesn't look like it, but we're running away again to the north this time. That's our weapon right there. CR5 is right about where my cursor is. I think it's a submarine. Uh, we don't have enough information to kind of know what kind of submarine it is.
So, who knows? Something something following orders. Oh. Oh, it's been a defense.
Yeah.
That's that that that was my defense my entire career. I was I just followed orders. It's in the book.
If it's in the book, it's called Following Procedure and that is your get out of jail free card in the US Navy. If it's in the book, they change the book.
Don't change the sailor.
And matter of fact, give the sailor an award for following the book.
Yep.
I wish that was a joke. That's not a joke. Yeah, that's true. That's how that's how it works.
All right. So, our torpedo's right there. We really can't even barely see it. It's right there. S5 is going to lose his mind whenever I light this weapon off.
Move him down here a little bit.
This blue whale's probably getting curious about who who's sneaking up on me back here.
All right, I think we're about ready to turn back to these. I don't want to get too too close to the whale. I feel like we're already too close to the whale.
There we go. All right, we'll get the torpedo on its new course and let's light it off. Fire control weapon acquired.
>> Now wait a minute. Okay, that weapon better be going to the west. The one that CR5 just shot.
He shot two torpedoes.
He is going active though. That active might might have us.
Yeah, we're pretty broadside. The active He's evading to the north. That's good for us. Okay. In case we have to shoot again.
All right. Torpedo's got solid track now. That's his torpedo. Con sonar Sierra 5 is classified as submerged submarine.
It's a tango.
He wasn't as good as his friend.
>> The other captain had more moves than he had.
>> Yeah.
>> So now the blue whales are like, "What's going on over there? What's all this noise about? This neighborhood's going to hell."
>> Maneuvering eye.
>> All right. All we can do is out run these weapons again.
>> Yeah. The tango's a new reef in the barren sea.
>> Sierra lasted.
>> If I see the weapons, I'll point them out to you. That's the tango sinking.
So, he shot two weapons somewhere down this way.
>> Torpe.
>> I can hear them, but I don't see them.
>> Oh, there they are. Yeah, he shot down to the southwest, so we're fine.
So, there were still two whales over there. It was just behind the whales, but was another submarine.
Yeah, there we go. Let's get out of here.
Foxtrot and Tango sunk.
All right, let's come up here.
All right, so they want us to hang out.
Uh oh. Uh that boy, that plane was coming right at us, too. But the ship got us first. Luckily, we're at periscope depth. Um it's going to be a torpedo shots. I don't have any harpoons, so I want to bring them in to 15,000 yards.
And uh let me just double check my weapons.
So, here's what I got. I got two decoys.
It's our last decoys that we have on board are in tubes three, two, and three. Then we got four torpedoes out of our 20. We have lots of weapons still, so we want to shoot early because it's going to take a long time for our torpedoes to get out to the 15,000 yards we need to travel to sink these knuckleheads bearing. Three, four, five.
Multiple warships on the bearing.
>> Ultra quiet. Okay, let's take a look at the environment. Uh, again, 500 feet, no layer. Kind of screwed.
>> There's no point because we're not going to do a missile launch of being shallow.
>> So, let's make our depth 300 ft.
>> There's no layer. So, what I'm doing is I'm positioning own ship, you know, the keel of it near the midpoint, right?
It's a little bit below.
>> That's going to give us our best uh >> sonar operation.
Let's go ahead and bring up the contacts because we do have multiple already. We believe they're warships. So, the first one is what? A creak. No.
Uh, soy crest. Oh my gosh.
>> Sonar Sierra is classified as escort.
>> Uh, oh shoot. And Sierra 2 is a warship. All right. So, I'm just going to snapshot on their bearing because they're already searching for us. I classified CR2 as a warship because it has active sonar right there. So, snapshot Sierra 1, the Cara bearing 249.
>> When you do a snapshot, the run to enable is predefined, so you don't need to say it out loud.
Snapshot Sierra 2 bearing 266.
I sir.
>> Okay, a head full.
>> We're going to do a little left five degrees rudder. Start opening range on both warships a little bit.
>> I'm only doing a five degree rudder because we have the wires. I want to try and maintain them if I can.
We're definitely connect um counter detected with that active. They're getting good broadside bounces back from us from this angle. So, I'm going to try and minimize that angle as much as I can. He just shot, by the way. Son of a gun.
>> Gone. Fire control. We've lost the wire.
>> All right, we're losing the wires anyway. And we know that he just launched a weapon. Let's go to torpedo evasion now. So, it's a head flank automatically.
>> And we're going to get on an angle that minimizes their active return.
>> Fire control. We've helo both of those tubes. And we're going to get down kind of close to the bottom. Like, let's go down to 400 ft. There's only 500 ft total. So, we got to be very careful about our angle >> cuz when you get close to the bottom and you put on a large, say, up angle, you can actually push the rudder into the mud and then you're screwed because it immediately will like body slam the bow of the submarine into the mud as well.
So, whenever we change depth from 400 feet to anything else, we're going to do it with an even keel, which means we're changing buoyancy, not angle.
So, this isn't our mission either. We're looking for a submarine tender coming out to resupply subs at sea.
>> That's not these guys.
>> Oh, Jesus.
Uh, did that torpedo see us? It might have. Holy cow.
It's changing depth right now.
Huh. That's a good shot.
It's right there.
Huh.
This might be a good use case for a decoy.
Just shoot it to the north while we shoot to the west. As long as they don't evade north, that should that should work. But it's only two warships. Like, it's not like it's a fleet. I want to save my two decoys for when it's one versus seven and helicopters, you know, that's really when you want those decoys. Not >> as far as advantage goes. I know that we're detected and all, but we still have the advantage, I think.
Okay.
Let's take a look at our weapons.
Oh, I still got another one in the air there.
One circling near us. This is our weapon. No, it's his weapon. Oh, there's our weapon right there.
He's getting close to somebody.
Yep, he just locked on. That's a helicopter.
Wow, he's about to hit something.
>> Torpedo in the water. Torpedo in the water. Bearing three 1 zero.
>> The full rudder.

Yeah, that's right.
We psych them both.
Huh?
Victory.
This is what victory looks like.
>> Come right two.
Make turns for five knots.
>> Yeah. Yeah. See, that's that's how you do it. Now, stop giving me orders in the barren sea, you jerks. Oh, there's still weapons nearby.
There's still weapons nearby.
>> Yeah, not a whole lot of wiggle room.
Nope.
Drive it like you stole it. I know, right? Yeah. That's what we used to tell the helm. I mean, that's what practice is for.
[ __ ] >> Sonar regained contact on Sierra 1.
>> Sonar regained contact on Sierra 3.
Maneuvering turns for five knots.
All right. I don't see any other contacts.
Ah, let's get out of here. All right, we got a oloy and a creak and our dignity. We got it. We got it all out of there. Oh [ __ ] Why? This is why you don't come to the barren, man. It's a bad neighborhood.
We're going to get sunk again. Okay. Uh, depth. We're at periscope depth, which is a bad place to be. Uh, submarine contact to the south, 20,000 yards. I keep pushing them further and further away, trying to buy us time to get the hell out of here.
>> But our orders are to not leave.
>> They're like, sink everybody and eventually you'll get the target we want you to get.
>> That's kind of what's happening right now.
>> Contact faded.
>> That's kind of what's happening.
bearing.
>> Oh my word. Okay.
>> Come right.
>> Oh my word. Okay. Sierra 3. Who is Who is Sierra 3? That looks like a some kind of ship.
Kind of looks like a whale.
If the whale had a cold.
Yeah, it might actually be a whale.
>> Oh, it's not available. die by.
>> What the hell?
Okay, let's go to >> Sierra 2 helm steady course.
>> Huh? Yeah, it's a hump whale. Okay, I knew it was >> sonar Sierra 2 is classified as biologic, >> right? But their Sierra 1 is right underneath of it.
Classy schmart.
Oh, wow. That's a merchant.
So, we have a submarine on the same bearing as a biologic.
Very common. Saw that a lot. IRL a lot.
You kind of can't help it because submarines are warm. They put out food that fish eat and they like to congregate around submarines. That's why you see that happen a lot. It's not like it's a tactic. It's not like you do it intentionally. The submarine can't control where the fish swims.
You can go active though.
And the the fish that don't float to the surface usually swim away.
Yeah, but we got multiple contacts there.
Oh boy. We could boy, we could sink the humpback whale and see what's left, right?
Could do that. That's a thing.
The humpback whale is literally masking Sierra 1 right now. So, not a lot that I can do about that.
We could remove the cover.
This is like what happens if you have a bunch of uh bad guys running into a building and now you can't see them.
Well, you bomb the building with a J dam from, you know, 30,000 ft, right?
Let's see if there's we'll give it some time. If there's any bearing separation, we'll prosecute it. Otherwise, we're shooting us a whale. Yep.
Welcome Ryder says, "Did you see that the Iranians two days ago said they had hit a Burke with two missiles and provided video evidence?" What? Okay.
Uh, I did hear the claim. Uh, I know that that did not hit a single American ship. I know that the best CQB is BDA.
Yes. Oh my. Who said that? Smid. That's hilarious.
Yes, I that's probably told over and over again in the ground forces, but that's the first time I've heard that and I agree concurrently.
Sonar should have a mating call for whales.
If I told you we did, you wouldn't believe me and you would make me do it.
So, I'm not I concur. We should have one of those. Someone should get on that.
add that to the sonar system immediately and pay me for it.
Iran used 30 seconds of footage from uh 26. Oh, okay. So, they used some old footage and said it was Oh, god. Yeah, it's so dumb. I Iran is so dumb.
To be honest with you, I have completely unplugged from everything going on around Iran for the last 10 to 14 days.
Whatever last video I did, which was like a week and a half ago, I have not read a single word of news about that. I do not care anymore. It is clear that we are not serious and neither are the Iranians. So, it's a clown show over there. Let the let let the clowns be clowns. You know that's if we were serious we would have ended that war decisively and we did not. So what are we going to do?
Whenever we get serious I'll start paying attention to it again.
Well, we're not getting bearing separation. So, you know what that means, folks. Uh, prep freedom fish one for uh sonar engagement. Bearing 159.
Freedom fish one ready. Sonar solution to Freedom Fish is uh speed 11 knots because he's in a hurry. Holy cow.
Solution 54%. Shoot tube one.
We might be deliberately shooting a whale because he's in the way and he won't move.
All right, Mark's maneuver complete. Uh, weapon running normally.
Either move or get moved, right? That's that's kind of what you tell your girlfriend on the second date. Yeah, you wait till the second day for that one. A little bit of dating advice from the old sailor here. Whale oil lanterns are back in business. That's right.
Prep the whaling ships.
Cook sushi's back on the table. Yeah.
Yeah, that's true. that it could be a communist whale. He could be spying on us. You never know.
Sneaky communist making their whale submarine.
Oh my god. Yeah, Viper. I I see what you're saying there.
That is the first bit of news I've had in 10 days. So, thanks for breaking my streak. Yeah, I'm still not making a Naval News video on it. I'm not doing it. I'm play video games.
my friends like like like an adult.
Uh, let's see what we have here. You're making sushi tomorrow.
Yeah, I've seen sushi at the grocery stores in the little chill section, but I've never had it. Oh, I have had sushi though. Uh it was outside a movie theater. We were walking out and they had like a food truck. Um but it was like a food cart. It wasn't a truck. It was a cart. And he had cold sushi on it.
It was it was like a a spring roll. I don't know if I'm saying that right. I think he called it a spring roll. And they were like, "If you're ever going to try sushi for the first time, you want to start with a spring roll." And I don't know if he was messing with me or if that's true or not. Um I tried it. It was okay, but it's not like I'm going to go out to dinner and have sushi. I didn't like it that much.
You know, it was okay. It was It was rice and it had a lot of spice and it had some like um I think it was wrapped in seaweed or it had seaweed in it. It had some kind of wrap to keep the rice where it was. And then I assume there was fish in there at some point.
Maybe shrimp. I don't know.
Grocery store sushi is worth it. I would say that depends on your grocery store.
Uh we have a grocery store up here that's kind of high fallutin and they have very high quality. They have a dedicated sushi chef cook person that prepares sushi. I guess that's a chef, right? But that's all he does. And he sits there. He's in the little bakery section, but he doesn't bake anything.
He's got his little Chinese hat on. And he and he's um he looks Asian, so that's all that matters. Apparently, he's qualified. And he's there with his little spatula and his little knives.
He's sharpening it up, waiting for somebody to ask for sushi. And he'll make it right there for you. So, I think that that's probably higher quality.
What the hell? What's going on?
Somebody's shooting at us. Oh, Jesus.
>> Weapon acquired.
>> Yeah, he's to your left. The submarine was right here.
That's nuts. We almost missed.
Good. Some good news. We won't need to worry about the whale. The whale gets to live another day.
How far away is that? All right, let's do this.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
That's a That's another tango.
Yeah, we're taking out a lot of tangos today. Con sonar new contact bearing 1 4 3 designated Sierra 4.
Come right to 5.
>> Make turns for 1.
Does anybody else see a CR4?
What the heck is lost contacting?
>> Yeah, that's the whale.
>> Contact is in the baffles.
>> Right. Right.
Huh.
Weird.
Blood for the blood god. Thank you for gifting a sub, man. Appreciate that.
Somebody says CR4 is a tango.
Oh, CR4 was the tango. Oh, that means we got to slow down. Hold on. You're right.
You're You're absolutely right.
>> If I don't get a sonar uh bearing or position on him, we probably won't get credit for the kill. So, >> good call.
>> Regain on Sierra 2.
>> We do have a layer, so I'm going to get below the layer. And now that he's below the layer as well.
>> Kind of surprised we have a layer out here. It's only 500 ft.
Sier one's still in play. Where's Sier one at? Yeah, we don't have a regain of him, unfortunately.
Sier one and Sier 4 might be the same contact.
So yeah, I might have to use the active sonar just to get his position so we get credit.
>> He's right there. We should be able to hear >> on Sierra.
>> Let me go ahead and classify Sierra. We We only have an active return on serial one, so I can't classify him. Oh, he's moving.
>> Uhoh.
>> Did that humpback whale just go active.
>> Sonar Sierra 1 is classified as submerged submarine.
>> Okay.
>> Sonar lost contact.
>> Procedures on Sierra 1. The fox trot bearing 159. System solution is target course 330. Speed 5.6 knots. Range 18,000 y. High confidence. Active sonar range.
>> Shoot tube one. Ship safety sense. Shoot tube one. Shoot tube four.
>> Tube one is empty. We should probably put a weapon in that one.
Had to change tubes at the last second cuz torpedo men down there sleeping on the job.
sonar lost contact.
>> So, we have a fox trot running in on us and yeah, we never got a position on him. So, >> well, I could do without the credit. Be honest with you. I'd rather survive the engagement than get credit for that sunk sub >> because the only thing the only other thing we can do is drive south until we actually hear it.
But um yeah, not a lot we can do at this point.
Uh let's see. Says, "My family roots are in Louisiana," says Charles.
"Fried fish is delicious." I do love a good fish fry.
>> That's a very uh Michigan thing up here.
Uh they have fish fries every Friday uh at lunchtime. Uh the VA usually has one and then there's the Rotary Club which is up here. It's called something different. It's like the Lions Club or something like that.
And then there's any organization.
Churches up here have fish fries. If you want fish on a Friday at lunch, you'll find a fish fry up here wherever we live. It's uh it's very common. And it's good, too. Man, the fish are good. To be fair, you you fry anything. It tastes pretty good. But and it's usually all you can eat. you know, you pay five bucks or whatever it is to the donation, the church or uh the organization, and they'll let you eat as much fish as you want because they usually have too much. Yeah. All the old men out there catching fish all week, sell it on Friday uh as a charity drive.
That's kind of the the model.
So, if you like fish, this is the place to live, man.
Fishing and camping and then in the wintertime, skiing.
Very popular here. Salv, what are you doing? What's going on, brother?
Uh, yeah, the the I've I've heard of the fire station doing fish fries. I've never been to that one, so I don't know if ours does it.
I'm I'm in a Catholic area. I don't know. There's a lot of churches.
>> Sierra, >> there's a lot of churches where I live.
>> There's There's more churches than gas stations. Like for real? Yeah.
I don't think they're all Catholic.
That would seem kind of redundant.
Oh, that's good. That's the good stuff.
That's that tang. It They It took that to the moon and then they went around it and came back and they were like, "Space tang." And then I bought it. It's pretty good.
So, we still have the whale down here.
He's going to be a problem.
That whale's going to be a problem. This a very long engagement, by the way. long in range.
You normally would not engage at this range, but he was coming right for us, you know.
Well, was I affected by any major flooding? Yeah, there was flooding all over my area. I live on a hill, so I'm okay. I feel very bad for the people that live um near near the lake. There's like people that live right on the lake.
All those houses got flooded, man. Every single one of them.
Um, I don't know of a single house that didn't. And if there if there's a house that dodged it, they're not telling anybody because everybody else got damaged. Um, there's still there's still water in some houses right now. Yeah.
But I was out driving around yesterday doing some stuff before we streamed and um I saw a guy in waiters. He had water up to like his ankles in his front yard.
The water had come through his house to his front yard. The lake is in his backyard. and he's like he was pulling some tarp or something.
I don't know. I felt really bad for him.
So, yeah, people up here are still dealing with that. I don't know what happened. Like, we've had bad snows, bad winters. We've had winters that had more snow than this winter and we had no flooding. So, I think something changed and nobody's talking about it. So something that some details about Michigan, there's a lot of lakes and a lot of the lakes are interconnected and to manage the water flow between the farmlands.
There's a lot of farmland up here, too.
We're like North Ohio. Think of that.
Yeah. A lot more a lot more wheat and corn than I expected in Michigan. And between the wheat and the corn fields are ponds and lakes and marshland.
So to keep the marshlands uh wet, they build dams. Some of these dams are privately owned. Some of the privately owned dams get federal money from the state, state money to maintain the dam and operate it. Well, that's a regular check every month, baby, for not doing very much. Um, and so if the person who is a private citizen, a private company operating one of the 50 dams we have in Michigan, probably more than that, would rather >> would rather just uh collect the check and not operate his dam properly and not maintain it properly like what happened in 2001.
A dam actually collapsed up here just north of uh Lancing, Michigan, South Central Michigan.
Collapsed, failed water running through it. It was an earth dam. It looked like a hill and the hill had a hole in it with water coming through it. Yeah, it was a mess. Lots of people got flooded when that happened. Oh crap. There we go. That's better. Um, so I strongly think that because we had flooding this year and not last year, somebody's not operating the water management in Michigan properly. I have zero evidence other than the flooding itself, >> but at least look into it because everybody believes right now the official story is it's because we had a rough winter with lots of ice, >> which is true. We did have two major ice storms up here, but we did not have more water fall from the sky this year than last year. So, where the hell did all this extra water come from? It's because we're not managing the dams properly.
Sorry, I'm talking about something completely different than the game right now.
And nobody in the government or in the dams wants to investigate it. Wants to because they know that if they do, it's going to be a can of worms. There's going to be court trials.
>> There's going to be liability.
>> There's going to be a reelection that doesn't work out for the incumbent.
Everybody has incentivized to not fix or even address the problem of the flooding in my area.
I'm about to get up in a helicopter with a drone and find the dam that's in my area and figure out who owns the dam and see what the hell they've been doing besides letting the water drain out of Lake uh Mitchell and Lake Cadillac.
And I'm not the one affected by the flooding.
I'm fine.
>> Boy, we saw a lot of people who are not fine.
>> Maneuvering >> and nobody's doing anything about it other than throwing their hands up in the air being like, "Well, sometimes that happens. It's clearly not normal.
>> Come right >> because the people in charge of the investigation, responsible for it, starting it, resolving it, are the same people responsible for the water management, >> not the dam operators that actually do the water management.
And nobody wins with that investigation.
So there'll be flood insurance claims, people will get paid, houses will get repaired, contractors who repair houses will get work and life continues.
But I seriously suspect that there was some neglect, criminal neglect by the water management uh people here in Michigan.
That's that's my opinion. That's my two cents. And we'll never know because they'll never look at it.
>> Maneuvering turns for >> get my surplus P25. I do have a pump. I have a submersible pump, but it's for my hot tub.
I have a rotating water hot tub under a disco ball. It feels good, man.
The tub doesn't rotate. I do when I'm in the middle of it, like a starfish, and I just let the water currents push me around.
Uh, let's see. I live near Manasty.
Yeah, I I live I think my house is actually in Manaste National Forest, but yeah, I live in North Central Michigan.
If you Google Manasty National Forest, I'm somewhere in that mess of trees.
Stop trying to find out where I live, weirdos.
He's like, I knew it. Yeah.
How was the house hunt? Oh, that's on that's on hold. Yeah, we're paused. It's paused right now. We went down to Florida for three weeks, looked at houses, and uh we decided to wait.
Yeah.
What we're doing right now is we're running from a torpedo and telling stories about Michigan water management, which is probably very boring. Okay. Oh, there's still a weapon nearby. Okay.
I know he shot a weapon at us. I don't see it. So, we're just kind of running.
I hope it's not in front of us. Long as long as not running at the weapon, we should be okay.
You just want to come over and barbecue.
No, I don't leave my house except to check on my neighbors. You know, I do that.
There's an unwritten rule up here. You check on your neighbors because the the winters are harsh and we have a lot of old people up here. People I don't want to say it's a lot, but it's a disturbing amount of people that pass away in their homes undetected for more than a week, you know, before anyone checks on them.
That's more common up here than I expected. In Florida, you expect that because it's Florida. Old people live in Florida. People up here in the wintertime, it's not as easy to get out and about.
So, you don't always check on your relatives.
But, man, I tell you what, when grandma doesn't answer the phone on the second day, you want to go check on her. I'm just saying that. I don't want to get dark or anything, but that's kind of what kind of what happens up here, you know.
I can hear the weapon, but I don't see it.
It's getting quieter.
Yeah, we don't even I have no bearings to it.
Sounds like it's over here.
Okay. Ah, it says it's close.
I don't know.
Carbon monoxide. Yes, carbon monoxide is really bad up here.
Um, carbon monoxide can just happen in your basement up here. So, you gota have a carbon monoxide detector and a smoke detector. You have to have both. A lot of the smoke detectors I have in my house have have both sensors. So, yeah, carbon monoxide is a thing, man, up here. Pretty sad. Okay, cool. We got two subs and we still looking for our mission. We keep getting detected by that damn airplane.
Are you kidding me? Another submarine.
And no matter where I move, that dumb red airplane flies over me. So, I'm tired of dodging it. Tired of it. All right, let's put some torpedoes. We got four weapons in the tubes. We still have two decoys that I'm holding on to like they're my precious because I know whenever we get to a fleet battle, we're going to need them. So, we have a contact to the west uh right in front of us. We're headed west.
All right, we clear 150 feet. 15,000 yards. Fight.
ring for ultra quiet.
>> All right, let's take a look at total water depth here. We are in 500 feet of water again. Uh we're going to get down to the middle of that. It's going to 25th.
>> We do have a weak layer at 150 ft. So we're going to be right beneath that layer. The layer is very weak though, so it may not even protect us from anything. But the contact's right off our nose.
And once we're on depth, if we don't have good track, which right now we don't have any, uh, we're going to turn so that our toad array can see it.
Uh, when we can food in late summer have problems with CO basement.
Oh, you have the problems in the summertime.
Usually the summertime we air the house out enough that it's not a big deal, including the basement.
But we we have vents. Um there's one in our furnace room for one. That's where the CO2 can happen or CO can happen. But we also have vents in the basement itself. Like you know how your bathroom has a little vent in the ceiling? You flip a switch and it goes on. We have things like that in our basement. So uh we can always you know what's it called?
Refresh the basement I guess.
Can't think of the word at the moment.
Re regenerate the basement. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Regenerate.
Okay. We're on depth and speed five knots. Let's come to the north and see if we can hear this guy.
>> So, basically, he's right off our bow.
And the tote ray does look forward, but you know what's right in front right to >> our big old butt. So, I'm moving our butt out of the way so the Toadto Ray can look, >> you know, this direction without seeing us.
>> And we should regain or gain the contact. He's right there. He's We've already got him. So, we'll pull him up on the sonar.
Uh, and he's very quiet. Look at this.
So, I'm thinking submarine already.
Like, look at these. Look at these signals we got.
All right. All right. So, we're starting with Whiskey Romeo. I'm looking at this really bright line. I want to get that one lined up first. Right there. Okay.
Could be a November. November lines up really nice. So, let's call them November.
>> Sierra is classified as submerged submarine, >> but I'm going to keep classifying.
Could also be a Victor.
Con sonar Sierra 1 is classified as submerged.
>> Big difference between those two. Could be an alpha >> actually. Yeah, I might actually.
>> All right, this might be an alpha, not a Sierra. Oh my god. Okay, it might be it might be a Sierra. It's not a Sierra 2, but it might be a Sierra 1.
Good lord, it lines up so good.
>> Sonar Sierra is >> Yeah, I'm going to call it a Sierra for now.
>> Okay, we're on depth. We're on course. Um, he's probably 20,000 yards.
We could probably shoot on this bearing.
I'll tell you what, let's let's wait.
Let's get three more minutes on this course. We'll see what he does. See see what his bearing rate is. I think it's south. I think he's going north or southeast.
But let's see if I'm right on that.
CR1's a CR1. I Yeah, that is confusing.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Is a blue whale's active sodar any good?
No.
No. It gets kind of annoying after a while to be honest with you. Listen all this damn whale song. I'm like keep it down. Trying to sleep over here with my headphones on in sonar. Sonar back when Sonar had our own room. Uh it was dark and quiet. You could hear the 400 Hz hum of all the cooling fans. Oh, puts you right to sleep. It's so good.
And then you get woke up by somebody slapping the headphones off your head saying, "Wake up.
New contact."
I got a mint. Yummy, yummy. I like my mints.
Try not to eat into the microphone.
Make turns for one 0 knots. Maneuvering eye.
He keeps getting closer and closer.
Suner keeps bringing his range in.
though. He might be going more easterly than south. Yeah. Oh jeez. Yeah, we might be in trouble. This is This is going to be a near pier fight at close range.
4,000 yards. He's already too close. Son of a gun.
But let's see if we can get around him.
He's right here. Right next to us.
My radio is chirping. Yeah, that's my radio.
Have ever heard aliens in the water?
I've seen a lot of things. I didn't know what they were. I'll tell you that.
Yeah. I can't call them aliens because I didn't know what they were. It wasn't a whale. It wasn't a submarine. And it was underwater. I'll tell you that. Yeah.
Might have been a dolphin.
There there's creatures though that are so like down deep in the bottom of the Pacific in the Atlantic that make some strange [ __ ] noises. They sound huge.
Like they're very large and it's definitely not friendly.
So, let's just leave it there. Whatever it is, leave it alone.
Stop messing with it.
You know, James Cameron taking your little submarine down Mariana's trench just to just to see what's down there.
Whatever's down there, don't make it mad.
Yeah.
I don't know if they'll ever release the UAV recordings of um submarines because the recording itself is so sensitive.
Like you could learn things about American Sonar Systems just by analyzing the recording, not what's on the recording. I think that's why it'll never be released.
But there's got to be billions of recordings because everything that ever happens on a submarine in the sonar room, every single one of our submarines is recorded 24/7. We always have like 10 to 20, well 10 to 12, let's be realistic, submarines deployed at any one time around the world for the past 50 years. That's how much recording we have. Yeah.
I wonder where they store all that. We used to literally keep it on real tore like like an old radio show. Real real to real tape recording. Um but it was fancy tape. It was really good quality tape obviously, but I'm I It's got to be all digital now. I'm sure it is.
We probably keep it on like the Amazon Prime video server in Saudi Arabia.
That's probably where it's all kept.
Yeah.
Trying to save a buck, you know.
American military is expensive. Got to use that Amazon Prime services, you know.
You want some recordings? I know you listen. I I'll tell you honestly, I didn't see any aliens, so no.
But I did see a lot of things I didn't know what the hell they were and nobody else did either. We were like, "What the [ __ ] that?" Call it a biologic in the logs. That was our go-to. I think it's still this way, but I can't confirm it because I'm not there. If we didn't know what it was, but we knew it wasn't a ship or a sub.
It wasn't man-made. It was baseline biologics.
And it was clearly alive. It's down there making noise and moving around.
So, it's a biologic. may not be from Earth, but it's a biologic.
And that's just kind of how we got away with it. Got away with it. That's how we classified it because we know what else to call it. Yeah.
Whatever it is, there's a lot of them.
They a few of them sound big.
Do we shoot? This guy hasn't changed.
Oh, we haven't. Okay, I gotta change course a little bit. What's our current course? Northish. Let's come left to course three. Let's say 320.
Come left steer course 3 3 1 0.
>> Come left two.
>> So by doing this long leg, getting a really good solution in this direction.
Now we're going to change course and do another direction.
If both this leg and the leg we're on now have no interruption in contact, you should get them dead to rights.
Because what's going to happen is you have all these bearings, all these lines that come out from one line to the other and they're they're all going to cross right around here roughly. That's where they cross each other.
>> Steady course >> and then we're going to get a whole new set of bearing lines up here that will also cross. And if he's dead in the water, both crosses will be on the same position. But obviously, he's going to be moving. So you got to see where he's at. Whenever we operate the fire control system in the new submarine game, I'll show all of this to you.
Yeah, it's almost a waste of my time explaining it now because in one week we're going to be doing it.
But yeah, we should we should lock him up.
You never saw any UAPs during your Air Force career that changed after you retired. Oh, okay.
All right. Um, well, we still have solid contact on him. It's right there.
All right. So, now we got the shape. So, he was heading southeast like we thought.
It might be that he's so quiet that uh we just can't get a good range on him at the range that that we're at. If we move closer, we certainly could.
And that might be what we have to do.
Okay. So, I'm going to continue to turn towards.
Let's go. Um, let's come left stairc course 25.
>> Come left two helm.
>> Do kind of an aggressive maneuver. I don't want him walking away and fading without us knowing precisely where he's at before that happens. I need a I need a point in time in space here where I know exactly where he was so that if we lose contact, we can generate his bearing out, his position out.
So that's why I'm doing this aggressive maneuver. Um I'm not pointing him obviously, but I'm keeping him about how many degrees?
40 degrees 40 degrees off my >> bow.
>> What's good about that is it gives my toad array a really good view.
>> Sierra is classified as submerged submarine.
>> Hence that we even got his range now.
Oh my god, he's close.
Okay.
Yep. Let's uh come right 270.
>> Come right two.
>> It is a Victor 3 and he's right there.
So, I'm turning away from him. We're going to get to 6,000 yards or greater and engage him with one Spearfish torpedo. This is a neareer uh sub. This is not a diesel boat. This is not something that we're playing with.
steady.
>> We're going to maneuver in a way that he won't be able to shoot us because we don't have enough depth to escape his uh counterfire. We've got to be in a position where he doesn't shoot us properly. He'll shoot at us, but shouldn't see us.
Uh what happened here? Victor 3 confirmed. Yeah, it was Victor 3.
Hey, you guys that are talking about the UAPs and stuff, did you see the new Bob Salazar movie on Amazon, a documentary called S4?
S4. I saw that. I thought it was pretty good. I thought it was well done. It basically tells the whole Bob Lazar story uh chronologically as he experienced it. And it also interviews people that he uh knew at that time that he was uh working down there in u Arizona. Where is that place? New Mexico. Might be New Mexico. Yeah, it's right by a big air base is where is where he used to work. And uh he said that there were nine of these craft that were in different states of assembly or disassembly.
and uh he was responsible for working on the propulsion plant of one of the nine crafts and his responsibility was figuring out how it worked.
So clearly they weren't building it.
They were reverse engineering it to figure out how how it worked.
I thought it was interesting.
You bought some of Bob Lazar's company.
What? Oh, you bought some items. Okay. I didn't know that. Oh, yeah. He runs that um electronics engineering company. He does make stuff. What did you get? What does he sell? I don't even know. I'm curious as to what he sells from your company. I should buy something from him just to say I've got it. I'll put it on display back here on my little knickknack shelf. Yeah. Does he sell lasers? I want to buy a laser.
That'd be cool.
All right. What's his range now? range is 3800 yds opening.
He's making 10 knots. So, this will not take long.
We're going to get his baffles and shoot him once he's outside 6,000 yards.
United Nuclear, that's the name of his company. Okay.
Uh it says uh when you look at the size of the universe you got to be other Yeah. Um there there is a a paradox that I I I worry about I'm trying to remember the name of it about the size of the universe therefore there must be life out there. Um the paradox is any of self in you recognizing intelligence can learn to destroy itself with its own weapons before it learns to travel in space safely consistently for long distances. The Fermy paradox I believe is what it's called.
And uh it kind of makes sense because if you look at us, we're in that stage now where we can certainly destroy each other ourselves.
Uh and we're not ready to go beyond the moon. Really, it's going to be a long time before we even leave uh the inner solar system. to to transit from Mars to Jupiter and Saturn to make that jump is going to be hundreds. Well, it's gonna be a long time before we're able to do that.
So, but we're doing it one thing at a time.
We're going to the moon first and then we're going to go to Mars and then we'll see what happens after that.
Vulcan, I agree with you. Um, I would say that the people that go to Mars don't come back. They stay there.
That's where they get that's where they live now.
solves that problem.
I'm a problem solver. That's what I do here.
NASA should put me on contract.
Current range is 5300 yards. Opening quickly. We're about to go to firing point procedures on Sierra 1. The Victor 3 down there. I attend on shooting one spearfish torpedo in active homing mode from tube one.
into the baffles.
After a successful launch with the wire, I may steer the weapon to the north or to the east, his relative north, so he does not counter fire on our bearing. I may do that. That may be something I do.
A very cooperative target we have here.
Time to waste the victor. Yep, it's very close. Very close. He is uh 5700 yards right now. We're waiting for 6 plus >> sonar lost contact.
>> This is where you start generating bearing of that target. He has shown no signs of maneuver. the entire time he has no idea he's about to get shot. So even though we don't have sonar contact right now, we still know where he is because we can generate every second.
Now he's here. Now he's here. Now he's here. So and we can keep doing that forever until he turns or changes speed.
Okay.
Firing point procedures on Sierra one, the Victor 3 bearing 145.
System solution is course 156, range 6 100 yards, speed 10 knots, high confidence generated solution. Ship safety is fence. Weapon is ready. Ship's ready. Sonar is ready. Shoot tube one.
>> Come left >> or come left.
>> Let's try that again. Shoot tube one.
>> Had the wrong cursor up. That blows. All right. Clearance maneuver complete.
Weapon running normal.
All right. Now that the weapon we have a good wire, I'm going to maneuver the weapon a little bit off of our bearing. Trying to keep it in his baffles.
So, don't want to come too far this way.
Still trying to keep it behind him.
But that little bit right there, that might save us. That might be all we need to evade his counter fire.
That bought us probably two or three minutes of evasion right there.
All right, you guys are getting philosophical in the chat now. I like it.
Keep those moderators busy.
That's our weapon right there.
Merging on the bearing of the target.
He's about to get the one hell of a wake up.
See if we have contact immediately with him.
What we want to listen for is how does he react? Does he cavitate, evade, change depth, shoot back? What does he do at 6,000 yards? He's probably at seven by now.
>> Fire weapon acok us to enable the weapon. Yeah, there we go.
It's probably going to launch a decoy here or not. Okay.
>> That's a bold strategy.
>> One last bearing one.
>> Make turns sonar. We are >> I never was a big fan of let the torpedo hit us strategy, but there you go.
Lord, that was kind of dumb.
All right, now now we got to dodge his weapons. Let's go down to 350 ft so we're not cavitating too much.
>> Bold but not effective. Yes, that's right. bold and not effective strategy.
We're like, he's like, hear me out. What if we let the torpedo hit us? Therefore, we don't have to evade the torpedo anymore. And the Russia's like >> sonar no longer cavitating didn't work.
Dive at 350.
>> All right, we're at 350. We're at a head flank and we are just running away while these torpedoes I can see one right there. I know we're on a good evasion course. Let's just see if it's good enough. Right.
Yeah, Aurora, that's how I feel, too. Yeah, he was he was like I have this out of the box theory, you know, did not work. It is a textbook shot though. Thank you there, Izzy.
I appreciate that. That that that is the greatest form of flattery. I have followed the procedure because he's like, "Hear me out." Yeah, I know, right?
All right. So, I can see both weapons now.
One's there, one's there. We're clearly getting out of the way.
The question is, was engaging at 6,000 yards. Was it still close enough where one of his two torpedoes can still see us? Did I wait to accelerate to flank belt too long?
Did Did I wait too long to do that?
Oh, and you can see a really good picture of it right here.
So, he's currently 4,700 yards away.
He's going to CPA right here. This is inside his detection window, and it's actually right about there.
One of the best things we could do right now is slow down and shoot a decoy.
But I'm going to try to not slow down because it takes forever for this fat girl to get back up to speed again.
Chief Fat is a known 688 is a 9,000 ton displacement submarine itty bitty reactor.
So the acceleration is poor just just went in the baffles but we have the red bearing line still. So we're fine there.
And we're right about 500 yards inside its detection cone when it reaches my cursor. So, when that red line reaches where the green line is, if that range is less than 2.5 to 3.0, depends, uh, you're probably going to get a torpedo in the water call.
So, we'll see what happens here. One torpedo has already passed behind us.
It's this torpedo here that just pinged that. That's the one we're watching.
So, the range of the cone determines is determined by the difficulty setting uh that you set in the options and the conditions of the water. So, if I were to pick a range, I would say at our difficulty level, 2.5 kils, but there's a little bit of plus and minus on that of a couple hundred yards depending on the conditions of the of the ocean.
Oh, I would bring it up, but I don't want to move my cursor because I'm marking a point.
We're waiting to see what that range is when the red line is parallel my green line, which should that that's the one right there we're watching.
Should happen pretty soon.
I think I'm already outside the detection code.
So, we saved ourselves a decoy and we didn't have to slow down and speed up to shoot it, which that really saved us.
The last time we lost a submarine in this video game, it's because I slowed down to launch a decoy, which decoyed the torpedo for all of five seconds, so it worked, but we could not get back up to speed fast enough to continue our evasion that we were doing fine with before I slowed down.
Yeah. Oh [ __ ] something's getting close.
>> Oh, the audio. Oh my god. So there she goes.
>> That's funny. The audio.
>> He had passed under my cursor. So I heard the torpedo at at my cursor, not at my sub.
>> Okay. Wow.
>> Helm.
>> We We almost turned back around into him. That would have been bad.
That would have been a bold strategy as well.
>> Hear me out. What if we turned around?
No.
Okay. Yeah, we clearly evaded that one.
We got to wait for him to get outside like 10,000 yards.
>> Come right to the water. Torpedo in the water. 0 five six.
>> Make turns for 0 knots. Maneuvering eye.
Okay, >> I'm doing what I said I wouldn't do.
>> Maneuvering eye.
>> Shoot to three. I sir, >> come on, baby.
>> I need you to put the hammer down right now.
>> Fire control. We've lost the wire.
>> We need all the knots.
I need you to go fast right now.
You pig.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you pig. I need you to go fast. Please.
Please go fast.
Oh my god. No.
>> It cares not of the decoy. What the [ __ ] It cares not of the decoy.
Come right.
>> Oh my god. This >> it looked at that decoy and said, "You know what's better than that decoy?
That decoy >> helm steady course.
>> Oh my god. Please run. What's our speed?" 29. We make it 30.
Oh my god.
>> Maneuvering making turns for 30 knots.
>> Oh my god.
That's a nice little parabola. you got there science.
You can actually figure out the distance between this point and this point.
You can also measure the curvature of that arc.
Come on little Come on, little guy. I need you to go fast.
Drag this mean weapon away from us.
That's us in the background running away. This guy needs to haul ass.
The further away he is from us, the more likely it is we're going to live.
We should have just kept going west.
But no, somebody had to be fancy.
All right. Yeah, we should be fine.
This little guy did his job.
Good job.
Well, all we have left is torpedoes now.
This torpedo's about to figure out he's chasing the decoy.
Watch what the torpedo does once it figures it out. He's like, "Wait a minute. Something's not right.
That's a decoy."
So now he turns around. He's like, "Huh?"
So he's back here at 6,000 yards away.
He should not be able to see us at that range.
>> Torpedo room.
>> And we're reloading torpedo tubes. We got away again.
All right, let's try not to turn towards the weapon.
>> Helm.
>> Helm. Steady course.
>> Yeah, I know. That'd be nice. Aurora Sure would be.
Roar says they should do more than just go in a straight line.
That'd be great.
Yeah. Error 44 sub not found is what it little brain says. It's like wait a minute. This isn't a submarine after all. We've been deceived.
>> Con to room.
>> All right. We're eventually going to get away from these things. I swear.
Make this gauge say 180. Yeah. Yeah.
Good. Good reference. Wow.
That's a deep call back. Is that 20 40 years ago? How many years a that movie came out in 1990 and it's what? 2026. That's what 36 years.
Holy cow. How old are we? Right.
I remember when I was young.
So long ago.
Yeah, I think it was Vasil. Yeah, torpedo.
>> You were born in 1990 Sin.
Good lord, man.
All right, we're go to this time machine real quick.
Try and get away from these two weapons.
so we can end the game, please.
It's getting shallower, too, I believe.
Look at that. We're about to run around.
Okay, let's We got no more decoys. I can't be messing around anymore. I need to get this freaking mission done. Or we should just leave. Yeah, let's just go.
I'm tired of being harassed by all these communists.
I'm not doing the mission.
Yeah, this is called a mutiny.
I'm not doing it. We keep getting shot at. We almost died twice.
I would say through no fault of my own, but that's not true.
Oh, we got tanks.
What? Listen, Army, you need to pull your weight. We're out here in the Navy doing everything we're supposed to be doing. You're goofing off.
All right, we're gonna get some more decoys.
Um, all right, let's rearm and repair.
Uh, let's get Oh, wow. Okay, let's get like six more decoys. Couple more harpoons.
Yeah, there we go. There we go. Oh my god, look at all the contacts.
The Soviet Navy was pretty big. They had like 150 subs or something stupid. It was a lot of submarines. We were greatly outnumbered.
But fortunately, we brought a lot of weapons with us. We were like, you know what? They may have a lot of subs, but we got a lot of torpedoes, so we're fine.
All right. So, we got a new sonar contact, probably a submarine bearing 225.
Uh, what's our course? We are doing course 223. Oh, it's right in front of us again.
Close 15,000 yards.
>> All right, we're going to see what kind of contact we have at 15,000 yards right here.
How many yards do we have? Let's bring up the sonar screen.
That's him, folks. He's got three lines.
He's a quiet boy. What kind of environment are we in? All right, we do have a weak layer.
Whenever I see a signal this weak, he might be below the layer. So, let's try that. Let's come down to 400 ft.
>> That that puts us below the layer and out of the shadow zone into this, you know, deeper water area.
Ideally, you would want to be around 1,000 feet roughly, but I think coming down to 400 should should be enough to determine if these lines get stronger or do they get weaker as we go through the thermal uh layer.
So, we got we got three strong lines and I see some weak ones. So, we're going to see how is the signal strength affected.
Keep in mind, we're probably closing range the entire time and that will affect signal strength as well. usually 90% of the time. There's some exceptions to that. So, I always like to mention that because that exception will bite you in the butt whenever it happens if you don't think about it.
All right. What's our depth? So, we're through the layer now. I didn't see a significant change. So, the layer must be very weak. And it says very weak layer. So, the the layer even though it exists, it's not effective. So, we cannot rely on it to hide us.
Um, if we want to increase the signal strength, our best bet is to get to search depth. So, best search depth for us is probably 1,000 ft. I'm going to go down to 1,000.
>> Make depth 1 0.
>> Hold on a second. Is this guy off our bow? He is. Okay. Because the initial bearing of the threat was right off our bow.
All right.
Oh, you you made staff sergeant in 2005.
That's pretty good, man. Congrats, dude.
My understanding is that staff sergeant is staff sergeant. I think that's the big promotion.
Anyway, either way, it's good you got promoted.
All right, let's see what's going on here. We're waiting to get on depth. Uh, the next thing I can do is maneuver.
Uh, if I want to maneuver to engage uh and not evade, I would come to the left.
Yeah.
Let's just see which way he goes on this line. Remember I said you generally want to go on the opposite side of the line whenever you're looking at his bearing.
It looks like he's going to the east, right?
His little marker is moving that way.
So, all that really tells us is he's not going west because if he was, he'd either be standing still or he'd be moving west. But because it's going east, he's either going north, south, or east or anything anything in between that 180 degrees.
That's all that tells us.
Now, we know we have to maneuver. So, what I'm going to do, even though I think he's going east, I'm going to go east as well. southeast. Let's come left to course 115.
>> Come left to one I >> and this will give our toad array its best look in that direction. So we'll be at the best depth on the best course looking at a very quiet target or distant. He could be a very loud target that's just super far away. Let's not rule that out yet because we don't know what he is.
But he's the only contact we have right now. So that's what we're looking at.
the Waste. Yeah, I had to change my mind in the middle of it. Yeah, you guys making fun of me. I I can't get anything by chat. Like, you guys pay attention.
Other streamers don't have people that pay attention as much as you guys do.
I I don't know if I should feel complimented by that or it's kind of annoying, you know. Go do your other stuff and have me on in the background.
Oh my god. I shouldn't say that. I'm kidding. Oh my god.
I guess I guess I do appreciate it.
Yeah, >> you guys are a group of people that actually look at the sonar screen when I bring it up. You know, if somebody's playing Apex Legends and they bring up whatever screen, >> nobody analyzes that.
>> I don't know if there's a son screen Apex Legends. I have no idea. I know the game exists. That's all I know about it.
It's the autism. I know, right?
Oh, that's true, man. You're in good company. What if we all have the autism?
>> When will we outnumber the normies?
Then we'll have revolution. Yeah.
>> That's that's that's when we rise up >> and then quickly get distracted.
Oh my god. That's That is such a good skit.
Have an an autistic revolution that is nothing but dogs chasing squirrels.
Oh my god. You You could make that into something. That's that's a story plot for you. Uh there's a second contact, by the way.
Oh my god. That's That's good. You could run with that one.
This is what it's like being in a writer's room. Yeah. One person has an idea, the other person builds on it.
Next thing you know, you're making a silly movie.
Yeah.
I'm trying to classify this guy. I have no idea who he is. And sonar is not helping me.
It might actually be a merchant. So, I'm gonna go through the merchants here.
I'll bring it up. so I can show you guys what I'm doing. So, I'm going through the merchants now. Um, just trying to get any of these lines to line up. Any at all. I got one line right now. And now I got two. If you want to count that line, this could be a trwler. Oh, go back. I'm gonna call it a >> sonar. Sierra is >> So, who's Sierra 2?
>> CR2 is a very different cat. Definitely not a trwler. Maybe a rap. No, this line doesn't line up.
I'm going through the surface ships now.
It's probably going to be a sub.
If it's this quiet, it's probably a submarine. So, let's go. Whiskey, Romeo, Fox Trot. Tango kind of lines up for a tango.
>> Sonar Sierra 2 is classified as submerged submarine.
>> I'm going to go with my um gut instinct.
Call it a tango.
Come right I'm not confident that if we speed up we'll maintain track.
So I was I was going to turn and speed up but now I've changed my mind.
So let's just see what kind of u you know direction of motion we have on him.
Dogs chasing trains. Yeah, that would be a good one. The moment you outnumber the normies, you become the normies. Oh, that's true.
Yeah, good point.
I tried to get my hairdresser to put blue hair on me this this weekend. She said she wouldn't do it.
I guess only girls get blue hair.
I'm about to have him paint it white. I should have white hair and I don't.
I I hope my hair goes gray before it falls out. You know, I'm going to go from having brown hair to bald in my 60s.
All right. Looks like he's headed west.
Well, his bearing rate is westerly. That doesn't mean he's headed west, but he's not headed east. We know that.
All right. So, because he's not headed east, we can head south and not in. We're not going to hit him.
We're not going to collide. I I was going to say we're not going to get closer to him. That's technically not true. We will get closer to him than if we stay on this course, but by just a little bit. We're definitely not going to collide with him. So, >> come right.
>> We're going to come right and then once we're on course, we're going to speed up. I'm gonna try and maintain track on this guy at 10 knots. If we can do that, we're going to be in a great position.
So, we're coming around to a new course and then we're going to speed up.
You got some spray paint. Yeah. Everyone is normal until you get to know them.
That is really true. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like I need a new hairdresser. No, she's great. I like my hairdresser and she likes me because I got an easy haircut.
Like she just puts the buzzer over my head.
Yeah, I have the easiest hair in the world to cut.
Take my gray hair. You don't like having gray hair. Now, if you're a woman, I understand. But in the United States, men with gray hair um are definitely more respected initially until they open their mouth. Once they open their mouth, then it's different story.
But that's the way our culture has evolved here in 2026.
con helm steady course.
>> It's it's very ironic because it's the exact opposite for women. The moment one gray hairs on a woman, they're putting the wig on or dying that stuff.
Yeah.
They they actually sell um a hair dye called just a touch of gray or something like that that will mix in gray with your natural hair color.
It's at Walmart. I've seen it. It's next to the pharmacy. It's on the shelf.
I'm not that desperate. I'm not doing that.
But there's a reason why that's there.
All right, let's speed up 10 knots.
Let's see if we can maintain track on this knucklehead.
>> Knots maneuvering.
>> Uh, let's see. Mrs. Vulcan has been cutting your hair. Oh my goodness. I got to get Mrs. J to cut my hair.
>> Sierra, >> that'd be a good idea. And then I can cut her hair.
>> Chop chop.
I don't think she'd let me get near her hair.
So, we lost contact immediately. So, this guy's not close. We know that. He's definitely outside six. I think we could shoot.
We don't have We don't even have generated bearing. So in a situation like this, I would do snapshot on his bearing 243. Snapshot tube one. Bearing 243.
>> Okay, he did not hear the launch.
I'm gonna try and get him to shoot to the north and then hopefully make some noise as he evades and I'll steer the weapon onto his evasion. This is a high-risk attack doing this because if you lose the wire at any moment, you know, you just have a a wild weapon out there doing whatever sinking whatever it finds. So, you really you don't you don't want to do this. But in this case, in these conditions, I can see this being um not the worst option. It's not it's not my last choice.
This maneuver right here might save us possibly.
All right. So, he doesn't hear the weapon. The weapon's not in his baffles anymore.
So, I'm gonna let it get right to here and then look south. He's somewhere over in this in this bubble that I'm circling with my cursor. He's in this bubble.
Also, the bubble could go back to here.
By the way, it it's a very long bubble because we don't know his range. All we know is he's not close. That's all we know.
Damn it.
>> Fire control weapon acquired.
>> Well, heard our sub for sure. Or our torpedo, I mean.
>> Oh, well. Hello, Mr. Sierra. How you doing?
>> Saraker bearing.
>> We might have multiple subs out here.
Snapshot tube two on Sierra 3. Fire control weapon countermeasure, >> buddy.
>> Gone. Fire control weapon acquired.
>> Wonder what Sierra 3 is. Let's see if we can find out.
He looks like he's another sub. Sonar Sierra 3 is classified as submerged submarine.
>> Oh wow. That might be the one we're shooting.
That's interesting.
I wonder which one I'm about to get credit for.
>> Sonar noise maker bearing 25.
Huh? So, is there one submarine you think? Do you think CR2 is CR3?
This guy's good.
He's good at evading.
Con sonar noise maker bearing 2 6 4 fire control weapon countermeasure homing.
>> All right >> fire control weapon acquired.
>> Yay.
>> Con fire control weapon acquired.
>> It's an interesting little cowboy hat we drew there on the on the plot.
Constaring 2 6 7 breaking up. Con sonar regained contact on Sierra 2 bearing 2 6 7.
Con sonar switching to active search.
Con sonar regained contact on Sierra 3 bearing two.
>> All right, we really want to keep this wire because we're going the same direction as the weapon.
Generally not a good idea to do that.
We should load a decoy. We might need a decoy here.
Yeah.
Sonar noise maker bearing 2.
>> How far away is that noise maker? 10,000 yard weapon countermeasure homing. Fire control.
>> So we were right about it being a long range engagement. We kind of saw that coming into this.
>> I'm curious as to where the second submarine fired.
>> Weapon countermeasure homing. Did he fire at us or did he fire at our at our weapon?
>> Fire control weapon acquired.
>> Okay, weapon aced submarine.
There he is, boys.
>> Nice.
>> Sonar lost contact. Sierra 3 last bearing 2.
Ready.
>> Let's see where we are.
I don't see a weapon coming at us. He definitely shot a weapon, though. We saw the We saw the launch.
>> Let's uh let's speed up. Let's get out of here.
>> The weapon will be coming from this direction.
>> Come left6.
>> We'll see what happens. Yeah. Boop the nose, right?
Helm, steady course.
>> Yeah, that's true. Yeah, the fox trots will launch a spread of weapons. Usually three. I think three is the most that I've seen. And that is a wide cone of torpedoes coming at you.
It's very difficult to get out of that.
So, we'll get into the time machine here.
>> Press a little bit of time while we watch the weapon.
knots.
>> I can I can hear it, but I can't see it.
I think we're going to be okay.
Yeah, it's behind us. Yeah, he's shot towards our torpedo. Good, good, good.
Awesome. Got away with it again. Yeah, I tell you what. Yeah, this this whole evasion thing, it's not it doesn't just happen on its own. And you really got to plan for it and then execute the plan and don't mess it up like we did in the previous mission where I turned back to the weapon and snapped us right up. One mistake, one misclick and it's it's over. It's gone. All right, leave combat.
Here we go. Here we go. Let's save the game and uh let's call it a stream for today. We're going to uh be back on Friday. I have to get this chopped up into little episodes for everybody on YouTube. So, I appreciate you guys watching this on YouTube. On YouTube, whenever I make them into episodes, I'm able to upscale them to 4K because I record the play in 4K. So, there's no resolution lost. You actually gain resolution watching the video after the stream is over on the Drive Turkey channel. That's where it's 4K. Okay. So, we got um oh man, 556,000 tons. We sank a lot of submarines today. What's our What's our submarine count? 23. We almost have as many submarines as we have other warships. Other warships being what? Frigots. Those little guys.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, good stuff. We're working on our next metal and we'll finish that up on Friday. All right. And uh potentially, and I've waited till the end to say this specifically, one week from today, um 10:00 a.m.
Eastern, it's a little bit early, uh is when I should be allowed, unless something changes, to play Modern Naval Warfare with you guys.
We'll see what happens between now and then. So, don't get too excited.
We'll we'll see. Okay, thanks for watching everybody. See you Friday. See you in two days. 48 hours. Actually less than that. 45 hours from now.
