Why US Coast Guard Ships CAN'T SINK in MONSTER WAVES

Did you know that ships of the US Coast Guard are specially designed to remain unsinkable, even in the massive waves of the open sea? Beyond battling towering waves, the US Coast Guard's mission is critical, even in the harshest of weathers.
From conducting daring search and rescue operations to enforcing maritime law and safeguarding national security, these ships and their crews are routinely called upon to perform missions under extreme conditions. How do these maritime powerhouses withstand waves as high as two-story buildings and still remain stable?

For a quick minute, put yourself on a small boat, completely at the mercy of monster waves. Think of what would happen if the tremendous force of a big enough wave the size of a two-story house came crashing down, threatening to overturn even the sturdiest of vessels. So, why do we mention these monstrous waves?
Well, it’s because understanding the challenge of these maritime forces is crucial to appreciating the unsinkable US Coast Guard ships. In the face of such overwhelming power, it's incredible to think that these ships are designed not only to withstand but to conquer these massive waves. It's a testament to the US Coast Guard’s proficiency, and ship stability is the balancing act that can make or break the show. To be specific, there are 3 factors that come into play! #uscoastguard #roughseas #usnavy

As a 20+ year NAVY veteran my respect for the Cosaties is immense. I have sailed through two Typhoons and one hurricane and dodged countless ones after a sea going career of 14 years and seven deployments. The Coast Guard goes into the storms we avoid or even out right run from.

[anitasmith]

The Coast Guard is amazing. They make rescues that most folks could not imagine.

[normanlesmerises]

A wave in open ocean and a wave breaking in the coastal surf zone are two completely different animals. The Coast Guard 47 foot motor life boat (usually seen in it's unpainted silver aluminum" is a fantastic asset for saving lives in the surf. Well done Coasties.

[TomBTerrific]

I was in the Army and seeing videos of boats, ships or whatever else you call the certainly puckers me up. I can’t even imagine what it would be like. Kudos to all the men and women who served and literally put themselves at risk for others. There is no higher calling. Thank you all.

[IAMcommunistkiller]

My son is in 752 Stratton. He could be anywhere in the Pacific or Alaska now. God bless all Coasties!

[ozziestrom]

I have a cousin from NJ who joined the CG right out of HS to do only 3 years. He retired after 22 serving in the Great Lakes, Alaska, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and NJ.

As a retired Coastie I really appreciate the extremely positive light this video shed on the Coast Guard as a whole. My second career was on the IT staff of a nuclear power plant. Needless to say, a hefty percentage of civilian nukes are former Navy nukes. To a man (or woman) they always voiced their immense respect for the Coast Guard. OK along with the occasional "shallow water sailor" joke, but that was all with respect and a smile. Thank you for this.

[sharonlevy]

I will always love. And respect the coast guards x, one saved my life and I will never forget

[annamara]

GOD BLESS AMERICA'S COASTGUARD, AIRFORCE, NAVY, ARMY, AND ANYONE WHO ARE THE REAL PATRIOTS OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY, BLESS YOU.

[joeladams]

That is funny. As a uscg boatswain mate that drove the old 44mlb’s. The 41 footer that is pictured on the front screen is not self righting. If it got hit broadside with a wave it would flip and stay flipped. Max seas for the 41 i think it was 4-6 foot swells never anything breaking. Thanks for the reporting anyway.

[raymondeargle]

I was on the 44 USCG turn in training roll felt like it took for ever to self right open cockpits it was a wow moment 1977

[kshepard]

It's not bow-on waves that are the problem. Taking a big breaking wave on the beam is the problem.

[zgkebnf]

What is wrong with some of these people and their negative comments, I'll bet none of them have ever been in a life threatening event when you thought you are actually going to die, I am and will always be Coast Guard and are really sorry you lost 3 minutes of your precious time waiting for the video to get going, you poor poor THING!

[joegibson]

I retired from the Coast Guard in 1993. I cringed everytime he called one of these boats a "ship".

[wesleyferguson]

I have a lot of respect for all our military service members. Thanks very much for all the men and women who have served and those who are serving around the World. I served during Desert storm for 8 years in the US Navy and am proud of my service time. It's a wonderful day everyday I meet others and appreciate them all for their service.

[andrewmarshall]

God bless the coast guard ! They are more sophisticated than some might think .
If you’re slamming them don’t call .

[slidestrings]

I suspect the most important skill we could apply to our daily lives is the internal gyroscope to quickly shift our balast to maintain stability, to hold our frame, to remain centered.

[ardeladimwit]

look nobody really wants a rollover like Altair or Americus or other lost ships, so yes, it's logical that USCG would tip test ships and design for stability.

[emilyrose]

Nothing but the absolute 💯 RESPECT 🇺🇲 for all coasties of past and present!
Although I can't help but feel like claiming "UN-Sinkable" is almost like challenging mother nature and we all know how well that can go! I'm not saying it isn't true, I'm just saying it feels risky puttin that challenge out there for her lol
