Got to be a record for using the words audacious and audacity in a video😄
-
You don't use the sterling engine to run the diesel engine under water. You use it to generate electricity to power the electric motor under water.
-
Ok small correction the Gotland sub does not only cost “a fraction of the cost of a single fighter “ in fact it cost about 800 million USD which is not much compared to a 12 billion dollar super carrier but it’s a lot more than a fighter
-
I am fascinated by the choice of Stirling engine, great design swedes!
-
Sweden's submarines are deadly. Arguably the quietest.
-
People have no idea how formidable the Swedes are. They mask this characteristic by being ultra liberal and non militant in their politics and culture, however they will tear the ass off you if you provoke them severely enough.

sounds like an audacious use of AI to produce the dialogue?
-
It was not on loan to US Navy when sinking RR, that was a swedish crew. Afterwards though, one or two were loaned to the US for a couple of years.
-
Ok small correctionS 1] it was in the atlantic ocean 2] the sub was NOT on loan 3] it sunk the carrier 2 times in 2 drills
-
Fraction of the cost for a modern carrier based fighter? Mjeh, the sub cost $150M with an additional $210M in mid-life upgrades, that's a lot more than even the most expensive F-35C at ~$90M. Gotland class is also kinda older by now, the new Blekinge (A26-class) is wildly more expensive at $670M ...

Greetings from Sweden. You're welcome!

"Audacious audacity" Really?
-
Word of the week: audacity
-
It is actually HMS Gotland! The submarine at 0:40 is not a Swedish submarine. It is U137 a Soviet Whiskey class submarine stuck on a rock in the hard navigated archipelago in the south of Sweden in 1981. And of course it was dubbed "Whiskey on the rocks" 😁

I was the project engineer and lead designer for one of their sonar systems. The small protruding object you see at the bow is one of the three sensors we developed specifically to their operating requirements. It was nice to see it in action off the coast of San Diego where we developed the sonar system.

Consequently, the US asked to hire one of Swedens subs to study it and apply countermeasures. They kept it for years to study it, and now the US has countermeasures for it. Besides, this new wasn’t revealed until the US had the defenses in place. Not to give russia or china ideas.

Let's keep in mind, Sweden has the largest number of islands in the world in its archipelago. This submarine is designed to operate at is best in a such environment. Silently and undetected, crawling around islets and rocks for weeks waiting for its prey come within range. Sweden joining NATO not only brings the submarine, it also makes this archipelago NATO land. Aircraft carriers and huge atomic submarines are not designed to operate at its best there.

Rubber acoustics were invented by the Germans in WW2 & were used with great success near the end of 1944
-
Expensive is not equal to better. We see this today in Ukraine with a $1000 drone killing a $5 million tank. On the other hand, a Carrier and a submarine isn't comparable when it comes to cost due to the different size and roles, but very gladly we (Sweden) are on the same side as these mighty carriers ❤

A Danish submarine "Sælen" did the same in 1992 - using a design from the 1960s - a German type 207. Diesels/Electrics are very quiet....
