How Do Nuclear Submarine Launch Missiles #Shorts

Soon after the second world war, the work on concept of a submarine launched missile began. But some skeptics thought that it could never be possible! Instead of using underwater propulsion, engineers focused on compressed air. So the secret is this shield. it prevents water flooding into the missile tube. Just few moments before the launch, submarine opens the hatch, and the seal is blown apart. Before water has any chance to pour in, a valve opens at the bottom of tube, and shoots a burst of compressed air into it. This air forces the missile out the tube, at some 40 miles per hour. This is enough momentum to cut through almost 40 meters of water, and once in the air, its engines are able to ignite! The successful launch of Polaris test missile from the submarine USS George washington SSBN 5 9 8, on July 20th 1960, began the new era of ballistic missile submarines. The U.S Navy's first fleet ballistic missile, the Polaris A-1, had a range of 1400 nautical miles, with a single 600 kiloton warhead, and today, the Trident II D5 missile has a range of 6,500 nautical miles, and carries 8 to 14 warheads.

My Dad helped in the development of the Polaris Program and was one of the very Few Civilians to ever attend Nuclear Power School. He received a commendation from Admiral Nimitz a year after nearly dying from a coronary on the Job. A True Patriot and would never tell me a single thing about the Technology even to his dying day at Age 93.🇺🇸

I've heard the missles doesn't even touch water, it's like cavitated in an air bubble

US has not used compressed air to launch SLBMs since Polaris A3, 1960s, they use gas generator (a small rocket motor) to flash water to steam, Steam is used to push the missile out of sub

I thank All of you who served in the military and may God continue to bless you and your loved ones

It’s a pretty awesome sight to see them launch. Served 4 years in the 80’s on an SSBN Tender. We served as target practice for torpedos on occasion and would get to see them launch as well. Amazing and somewhat terrifying at the same time.

Father served 21 years USN on the original “41 for freedom SSBN’s with the new FBM boats. Missiles just kept getting bigger and carrying more warheads for retrofits of the new missiles…then came the Ohio Class and more missiles tubes and more multiple warheads per missile… ☠️

[braddawson]

Wow, opening the hatch does not break the seal.. and we dont use compressed air... other than that, most of this was BS.. MM1(SS) SSBN-617

[mikearmstrong]

Well, you see, five guys with hand cranks start winding up this giant rubber

[charlesrichards]

The fact that amazed me the most was learning that 70% of U.S. nuclear weapons are on subs.

[tleetleeyoutube]

1960 s development show the true cleverness of engineering. Big hand to those hidden heros.

[KIENN]

Most impressive of all is the fact it was done in 1960. 😱🏆

[Evan_Bell]

Current US SSBNs use low temperature steam, not air to eject the missile.

[Black-Sun_Kaiser]

Why does that submariner have a hickey on his neck 🤔 😂

[yourfriend]

"the secret is on the cap that doesn't let the water in"

bruh...

[salinagrrrl]

I understood the Kreigsmarine had a plan to launch V2s from a sub. BUT...the sub had to surface & the rocket platform had to be assembled on deck.

[phillipgonzales]

Germany was firing missiles from submarines in WW2

[johnwolf]

all that power at the hands of-- go brandon

[Dra]

Actually during World War II the Germans had a program of Towing a V2 rocket, off the coast of New York City, flooding a container on the back of the rocket cause the rocket to point upward, they fully intended on launching Rockets into New York City

[MavMX]

So the submarine literally farts out the missile? Hilarious and deadly. The one time a fart has deadly gases.

Thank you for this people forget what an amazing feat of of engineering this is the people behind this achieved something damn near impossible all without impossibly powerful computers that we Have today and should be remembered and acknowledged
