Quote HistoryQuoted: Having an Ohio get popped isn't all that common. It's happened, even back in the 90s but not by 3rd rate hacks. It took a victor III or Akula and even they couldn't track them for long. They letting attack skippers drive tactical boomers now? Had to have been on purpose. There are only 4 of those boats in existence, 2 for each coast. I can't believe they are reckless with them. It's an almost 50 year old design. The Ohio-class hasn't been a black hole since the early 90s |

I'm sure this was done on purpose, but I don't know why we are wasting our time babysitting Iran. They're a joke. Their air force is made up of airplanes that we keep in museums. Ignore them.

They should be the best boats in the ohio class from an equipment standpoint. She didn't get out of the yard until 2008. And again...its not like its the Germans, Brits or Russians that got her passively. The Iranians visually tracked her, little showing of force I would say, or a huge cock up. |

Probably intentional if she’s doing a surface search with a helo close. In daylight no less with the USN announcing her presence.
I will say this is one of the areas where a few SSKs would be handy. Base them out of Diego Garcia and you have a more stealthy platform for watching that area. I think if we had dumped the LCS project we could have fielded a pretty solid boost for about the same price, exported a bunch to Australia, Taiwan, and probably a few other places. It would have been a mini F35 project for the pacific bringing allies closer together against China and giving us a more useful platform. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The water is shallow and fairly clear I think. If the sub is shallow enough you can see it. Pretty much this. The average depth is something like 150 feet and the deepest point is less than 300 feet; the water is also pretty clear. It's going to be difficult to hide something like that for long. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's an SSGN, no other navy in the world has a submarine that looks like that. Russia does have large SSGNs but they don't look very similar. Pretty easy for even an amateur to ID that sub as an Ohio in general and the SSGN version due to the pod on the deck. Given that there are only 4 and the navy announced the Georgia's transit through the area...thats about as good as PID gets on a sub, short of a detailed acoustic fingerprint, which I doubt the Iranians are capable of producing. |

Do you really think they have the balls (and stupidity) to launch a nuclear ballistic missile from Iran to Israel? I can't imagine any scenario where that happens. Third World nuclear weapons are more about "look at me, I'm somebody!" Who are we to say what country gets to have them and doesn't? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guarantee this was a planned sighting. I've had my semi truck parked next to the USS Georgia. It's pretty badass. No pics as they aren't allowed, similar to when I backed in next to Delta 4 rocket. Lol the old Georgia. I left right after the missile offload before the GN refit. The Georgia has a history of scrapes. Took out a helo during a medical evacuation. And supposedly sunk a troller. More peacetime kills than any other boat   When she was SSBN we only came to periscope depth at night, or unless absolutely necessary. One would think the straights would be littered with sonar bouys. They know you’re there, might as well show them your new guns. I can guarantee cruise missile launch depth is NOT periscope depth. I doubt it’s an accident. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Periscope depth in an area where the Iranian navy was conducting drills? Sounds like it may have been intentional to me  100% They are playing games and sending a subtle yet strong message. That thing carries an average of 100 cruise missiles and up to like 154 I think. Im betting after a few minutes it slowly slipped away back into the depths after making the point of "if we wanted to kill you we would have been able, see ya for now". |

I guess I should have been more clear, JiveTurkey has some awesome videos on sonar and different sounds and what they mean, but Destin does a good job of breaking down things from a non submariner aspect to hopefully get the average joe to understand how things work on the submarine. Each are good at what they do, and are good channels to watch and learn from. |

While flying the Kiowa Warrior overwater mission in the early 90's, we used to grab a deck when ever possible. One of the ships we went out on was the USS Monterey. Guided Missile Cruiser part of a group doing training off Puerto Rico. I was flight lead sitting in the left seat doing some day training when I received a call from an orbiting P3 Orion.
He was working "a Datum" and saw us on radar and called us on guard. I responded and we switched fregs as not to clog the emergency freq. I explained who we were, what we were doing and our capabilities. He said he was working two contacts with us being right between the two. About that time, a periscope popped up just in front of our 2 ship flight. I took the controls from the right seater and while calling the contact to the Orion, I hovered over around it with it just outside the rotor disk. I was able to stay on the opposite side of the lens while it did a couple of sweeps. I finally stopped and waited for the lens to come around and stop on me. I waved with my left hand and poof, he was gone like a bat out of hell. A couple of nights later, I was able to do the same thing while under NVGs. I thought if was pretty cool. |
