Submarine Nuclear Power | Engineering behind it Nuclear Reactor How it Works

Ohio-Class Submarines are America's largest nuclear submarines. Capable of carrying nuclear missiles like the Trident-2, Guided missiles like the Tomahawk subsonic cruise missile, and Advanced underwater torpedoes like MK-48 ADCAP Torpedo, Ohio-class submarines are the deadliest and the most powerful submarines ever built for the US Navy. In this video, with the help of 3D Animation, we'll take a deeper look at how these powerful submarine works, in detail.

Amazing !!!!
Wish i could subscribe a million times

My grandfather helped design those ohio class subs. Those were his babies! retired from ELECTRIC BOAT and then died from cancer due to asbestos from working on subs in the yard at a young age. RIP Gramp the Vamp! Hell of a man!

[jordangouveia]

I worked on the construction of all 18 of these magnificent ships!

Low frequency means longer wavelengths, not shorter.

Having served on an Ohio class submarine, there are quite a number of errors in the layout of the spaces depicted in the video. Without going into too much detail I can safely say that there is no large medical space in the front of the sub.

[Acousticmarine]

You forgot to show the kitchen (galley), which I would argue is the most important part of the Sub :)

[genopsdir]

I learned how to qualify on the S8G. It’s amazing what knowledge isn’t available to the public but I found the video a good general explanation for those who didn’t serve.

4:44 the officer doing his paperwork 💀

Good video. Even if not totally accurate still very informative. Good job.

VLF (Very Low Frequency) communications uses LONG wavelengths, NOT Short.

Someone should edit these machine narrated scripts for pronunciation - I could feel the collective wince of sailors everywhere when it pronounced "bow" like a bow & arrow... it's pronounced like in Japan people bow to each other...why I don't know....
But the animation & 3D views are great - thank you!

Ohio class never had anechoic tiles. When this class was introduced, USA did not have this technology and when they received that from British, unlike on american SSNs, they never installed them on their SSBNs. I did not figured why. My theory is, that these tiles are effective against active sonar during fight and Ohio should never get itself into fight. And when you do not need to damp active sonar then anechoic tiles are burden (because if they peel off, they increase passive sound emission of submarine).

VLF is one direction communication. From land to submarine. Submarine lacks antenna capable to transmit on that frequency.

Sonar is used in active mode only in specific situation, like in battle. Otherwise active sonar always reveal position of submarine.

Ohio class really do not use Mk54 torpedoes. No american submarine does. It will need special adapter to be able to fire 324mm torpedo from 533mm torpedo tube.

Tomahawk with conventional warhead does not have range 2500 km. Roughly half of that value is correct. Higher value is for nuclear warhead, which weights 1/3rd of conventional one and spared room is replaced by fuel.

PDX-57 does not store 2, 6MW of energy, it would be just 722 Wh and this will be extremely poor energy density even for lead-acid battery. In fact, they store more than 10 kA-hours at 2.0V of nominal voltage, so at least 20 000 Wh at weigh roughly 953 kg it is energy density 21 Wh/kg, which is not bad for Pb battery but also not great (for example Kilo class is using Pb batteries with energy densities from 37 Wh/kg at rapid discharge to 52 Wh/kg at slow discharge).
Whole Ohio class batteries capacity is 2, 6 MWh (it has 130 PDX-57 cells which are producing via inverters stable 240VAC and 155VDC used on american submarines).

Although I admire your 3D animation capabilities, I have to say, that layout and cutaway is more your imagination than reality.

Amazing machine that is a underwater spacecraft

[peterdrury]

Interesting, but some incorrect info here regarding radio communications. VLF (very low frequency) radio waves have extremely long wave lengths, not short.

[RoberinoSERE]

I was stationed on one of the first 5 Ohios in 1984. The forward compartment layout is wrong. Medical is in the Missile Compartment starboard aft forward of the O2 generation machinery room. Torpedos are flushed out with a HP air driven turbine water pump that flushes the torpedo out of the tube.

[mscottmiracle]

Not bad. Just be careful about putting steam into a gas turbine. You will want to use a steam turbine for that.

[Chris_at_Home]

I worked at EB in 1976 and saw the first hull sections of the Ohio come together.

[JV-pukx]

Ships don't have floors. They have decks. And naval ships don't have restrooms. They have heads.

[gojoe]

Awesome 3D animation, send it to my wife uncle and gee it helped him understand how submarine works and it answers a lot of questions. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

[Matthew-mgr]

I'm super excited about our new Columbia class submarines. The sonar will be super advanced high tech they will be able to hear the steam and bubbles in a reactor in an enemy submarine💯
