I saw a plane flying overhead in northern Idaho that had the weirdest configuration I ever saw and I never saw anything on that plane until 30 years later and when they were going over what was coming out of area 51 so if they're showing us this they've already got something better.

Back in the early '70s, I was attached to the USS Trepang (SSN-674) as part of DEVGRP12 in Groton, CT. The Mark 48 was under development and we had the electronic nose pods of the fish welded to our bow for testing. We went under the polar ice cap with another boat (I think it was Flying Fish, SSN-673) and we acted as the torpedo while some civilians ran some tests. It is neat to see the old MK48 is still around.

Do you remember the problem the US Navy had with their torpedoes in the first half of WWII? A sub would fire 10-16 torpedoes at a Japanese ship, the torpedoes would hit but not explode. For two years the Navy brass blamed the problem on the submarine commanders. But it turned out the problem was with the fuse. Lack of realistic testing and a reluctance to expend live warshots for stockpile reliability tests left the Navy entering a major war unaware their stock of torpedoes had a major problem. So the US shoots a small number of each kind of missile every year for stockpile reliability testing.

Watching this video brought back many memories of my time in the Navy aboard the USS Leahy CG-16

Very interesting!

Note on the BAe ( British Aerospace) Systems railgun . This was repeatedly tested throughout last year at the Foulness facility in Essex , UK . The impact creates an earth tremor of 3.5+ 20 miles away at the MOD seismic station that sits in the roof of our building across the Estuary . The fact it was fired repeatedly during the day would suggest that the new generation of railgun is probably ready for installation on vessels . Alongside that was tested a traditional gun that had a high rate of fire possibly some form of hypersonic or ultra long distance round . Tests of both were concluded . A few weeks ago a new piece was tested briefly which fired 2 projectiles simultaneously , repeatedly . The test was very short presumably the reason was unsatisfactory performance or reliability .

I agree with you. I realized early in basic training that the genius of how the Army trains people is 1) assuming the person doesn't know a damn thing about the subject 2) starting them at the ground-level nuts and bolts scale and working up from there 3) plenty of hands-on experience during the entire training program. As they told us, the Army is going to show you the right way of doing EVERYTHING once. After that you're expected to know it. But when they tell you they're going to show you the RIGHT way to do anything, they aren't joking around. I've always been a talented marksman, but in basic I met no end of guys who were from big cities and had never even seen a rifle up close. Yet within a few weeks their scores were in the same ballpark as the experienced guys like me. You hit on a reason on why I love collecting military field and training manuals. Want to be a carpenter but don't know squat about it? Get the Army training manual. It'll get you from clueless to competent in a very short period of time. Same goes for just about any other MOS specialty, from wilderness survival to "combatives" to cooking. I would never claim to be a competent medic but when I was doing police work I got and studied the training manuals the Army uses for medics (it's not a pleasant experience watching someone bleeding to death and not know what to do about it), and that and a medical kit in the trunk allowed me to help a lot of injured people before EMS could get there. I love the field manuals and I have entire gigabytes of field and training manuals from both US and other militaries around the world. The vast majority of such things are in the public domain and easily available online from numerous sources. They're a wonderful resource.

You missed out on the largest hurdle to the rail gun system - It destroys itself each time it's fired. To my knowledge they still haven't figured out how to prevent the damage done to the gun each time it's fired. That's been the main issue this whole time. Power is never an issue during testing since we're able to use land based energy production. The barrel deterioration, however, was a big problem. A problem I don't know can ever be fixed, honestly. It might just be that the rail gun is only useful for a handful of shots before having to replace the rails inside.

Yeah, sorry OPSEC, what we really have now are not allowed in public. And yeah, I am older Navy and was a Seabee. Got to tour a FFG when I went to 2nd class leadership school in Evert Washington, only time I have ever been on a ship.

you are full of it, if God forbid that takes place, I would suggest google Satan 1 and Satan 2 missiles and see how safe you are dummy and it is ridiculous, all that money for one missile to kill each other, what happened to United Nations? after WW2 ? people are dying from stress and no jobs and we give tax payers money to these companies charges 10 times the price. and create wars and conflicts to make sure we make more to make them richer, and ultimately one day we wipe ourselves out of this World, so to this saving the World crowd, forget saving the World , World is going to be here maybe 100 million years more it is us needs saving from these weapons and greedy evil man and ignorant us gives them the power .

@Sir Hamsterlot Please do more research, if you put nukes aside the US could tactically defend itself from the world, plus its got a population that has more guns than some countries armies, and its got enough resources in its boards it could survive much longer than any other nation. Heck the USN could defeat most countries by itself.

May be BS but recently up on the national news ticker it stated that the Navy finally abandoned the "rail gun" project. Sighting cost over runs, constant failures, chronic deadlines unrealized, unpredictably of the power systems, etc........

He says nobody can afford the top of line weapons America has..... WE CANT AFFORD IT EITHER!!!!!!!!

We can't afford that level of spending either. We just do it anyway in spite of how it fucks over our citizens to do so.

I think we have to develop and go with lasers, even if they are mounted an rockets that can return to base, like Elon’s gear.

Those tracer lines are insane.

The main focus should be on focused light weapons, as overall they will be cheapest to operate ove their lifespan and the have the most potential to be able to counter the hypersonic missile tech.

One of the biggest lingering problems that rail-guns are plagued by is erosion of the rails. They started out only getting very few shots before they were toast. As I understand it, a little modest improvement has been made to get longer life cycle from them. But they still must be replaced frequently.

All gun barrels wear out, at both the "throat" end, immediately in front of the breech, and, then at the muzzle, the friction of the projectiles, combined with the heat of the nitrocellulose powders just eats them up, after 5,000 to 7,000 rounds fired. With a rail gun, firing a projectile at, 1.54 miles per second, it's no wonder that the rails erode after only a few shots, consider that the video explained that most projectile rounds vaporize in the gun. 1.54 × 60 = 924 miles/ minute ! That's fast !!

@@jamesreney2210 Part of the rapid erosion is also due to some of the rail vaporizing due to mega amps of current flowing through them. I'm not at all sure that our state of metallurgy has any solution to this persistent problem. Time, of course may tell.

Is rail, the gun different from rail the car. I think rail the cars use the magnetism to keep any surfaces from touching then push it forward. How does the Rail Gun Work?

Cheaper is not the primary criterion.

The only U.S. ships that mount the OTO-Melera 76mm are coast guard cutters. Vulcan phalanx has been mostly retired and replaced with more capable systems. Hardly "deadliest weapons" and definitely weapons of the past rather than "right now."
