Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:17,143 --> 00:00:20,306
They have assembled here
from the four corners of the earth.
2
00:00:23,441 --> 00:00:25,352
Fifty-five warships.
3
00:00:25,443 --> 00:00:30,107
Among them, the newest and most
sophisticated ever produced.
4
00:00:32,867 --> 00:00:34,903
The United States is here,
5
00:00:35,036 --> 00:00:37,948
Great Britain, India, Japan,
6
00:00:38,081 --> 00:00:41,824
Canada, France,
Australia, Germany.
7
00:00:41,876 --> 00:00:45,334
Twenty-six nations altogether.
8
00:00:45,463 --> 00:00:51,003
Each will introduce the latest naval
technology in their arsenals.
9
00:00:55,599 --> 00:00:58,557
Twenty-two thousand
men and women
10
00:00:58,685 --> 00:01:01,051
will be tested
over the coming month,
11
00:01:01,187 --> 00:01:06,398
across a vast expanse of ocean
covering thousands of square miles.
12
00:01:19,414 --> 00:01:21,996
Have a great weekend.
13
00:01:22,125 --> 00:01:24,867
The command center
and flagship of the operation
14
00:01:24,919 --> 00:01:27,001
is the nuclear-powered
supercarrier,
15
00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:30,372
a marvel of modern engineering.
16
00:01:36,139 --> 00:01:39,882
The operation is called
rim of the pacific,
17
00:01:39,934 --> 00:01:43,677
the world's largest and most
complex naval exercise.
18
00:01:43,813 --> 00:01:48,398
It will be as close to actual
warfare as is peacefully possible.
19
00:01:57,827 --> 00:02:03,117
They began to appear nearly 5,000
years ago in the mediterranean sea.
20
00:02:05,669 --> 00:02:10,914
They were the largest and most glorious
moving objects known to mankind.
21
00:02:15,845 --> 00:02:19,463
Powered by oars,
their tactics were simple.
22
00:02:19,557 --> 00:02:21,718
They rammed
and sank enemy ships.
23
00:02:21,851 --> 00:02:25,014
Aahh!
24
00:02:25,146 --> 00:02:29,480
Soldiers on board carried
only bows, arrows and Spears,
25
00:02:29,567 --> 00:02:32,434
yet great battles ensued.
26
00:02:34,698 --> 00:02:38,566
Raging for weeks, there was often
the loss of hundreds of ships
27
00:02:38,702 --> 00:02:41,114
and thousands of men.
28
00:02:44,999 --> 00:02:48,958
For centuries to come, navies
with the best-trained crews,
29
00:02:49,087 --> 00:02:54,502
the bravest commanders, and the mightiest
warships would rule the world.
30
00:03:14,529 --> 00:03:19,319
The modern supercarrier remains
at sea for months at a time,
31
00:03:19,409 --> 00:03:23,493
and is home for over
5,000 personnel.
32
00:03:23,538 --> 00:03:26,701
A virtual city at sea.
33
00:03:26,750 --> 00:03:28,536
All right, con. Let's go.
34
00:03:28,626 --> 00:03:31,413
Let's go 3-6-0.
Let's go 15 knots.
35
00:03:31,546 --> 00:03:34,128
That'll get us into the box on time.
Aye, sir.
36
00:03:34,257 --> 00:03:36,498
The captain is from
an elite group
37
00:03:36,634 --> 00:03:41,094
that has over 25 years
of naval aviation experience.
38
00:03:41,222 --> 00:03:43,213
Territorial waters over there, right?
We gotta...
39
00:03:43,349 --> 00:03:46,341
Hey, so, just let the helos know
40
00:03:46,436 --> 00:03:49,428
territorial waters are only
eight miles to the east.
41
00:03:49,564 --> 00:03:51,805
Yup. Thanks.
42
00:03:54,277 --> 00:03:55,767
Okay.
43
00:03:55,862 --> 00:03:59,025
Con, left steer, course 1-7-5.
44
00:03:59,073 --> 00:04:02,190
Con, left steer,
course 1-7-5, aye.
45
00:04:02,285 --> 00:04:05,948
Conning officer, my rudder is left two
degrees, coming into course 1-7-5.
46
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:10,782
Ninety-two fixed-wing
aircraft and helicopters
47
00:04:10,877 --> 00:04:13,584
are readied for a month
of intense flight ops
48
00:04:13,671 --> 00:04:16,413
as demanding as combat itself.
49
00:04:19,093 --> 00:04:22,756
Those wearing green shirts
maintain airframes and engines.
50
00:04:22,889 --> 00:04:26,473
Red shirts are responsible
for ammo and weapons.
51
00:04:26,601 --> 00:04:30,059
Popeye symbolizes
the Navy as a strength.
52
00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:33,897
You think of popeye, and you think
of a really strong, you know,
53
00:04:33,983 --> 00:04:36,395
us sailor that you want
to represent yourself as.
54
00:04:36,486 --> 00:04:39,649
And I think we all use him
as a role model today.
55
00:04:39,781 --> 00:04:44,491
Purple shirts, or “grapes,”
fuel the aircraft.
56
00:04:46,913 --> 00:04:50,781
Aircrew are now Manning up for the event
seven, case three launch, case three recovery.
57
00:04:50,917 --> 00:04:53,829
The temperature is 68 degrees;
The altimeter, 2-9-9-6;
58
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,252
and the density altitude,
940 feet.
59
00:04:58,007 --> 00:05:00,999
On the fod walk,
crews are looking for anything
60
00:05:01,135 --> 00:05:05,720
that might get sucked into an
engine as the aircraft take off.
61
00:05:07,851 --> 00:05:12,936
Pilots have been killed by
almost invisible nuts and bolts.
62
00:05:19,654 --> 00:05:23,272
Nuclear-powered carriers
have almost unlimited range,
63
00:05:23,366 --> 00:05:27,234
like sailing ships of the past.
64
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:32,330
Two centuries ago, sail-powered
galleons with a hundred guns
65
00:05:32,458 --> 00:05:37,202
emerged on the high seas to fight
at battles like trafalgar.
66
00:05:37,338 --> 00:05:41,297
The French and Spanish
were the superior force.
67
00:05:41,384 --> 00:05:45,548
Led by Napoleon, they were
thought to be invincible.
68
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,638
But the British commander
Horatio Nelson
69
00:05:48,766 --> 00:05:52,554
had innovative tactics
and was more aggressive.
70
00:05:52,687 --> 00:05:57,852
Cannonballs fired at close range
inflicted a terrible carnage.
71
00:05:57,901 --> 00:06:01,189
Nearly 8,000 sailors
were killed on both sides.
72
00:06:02,989 --> 00:06:05,731
The French and Spanish
lost 22 ships.
73
00:06:05,867 --> 00:06:08,233
The British lost none.
74
00:06:08,369 --> 00:06:11,657
Nelson, though he was killed,
75
00:06:11,706 --> 00:06:15,540
became a legend, along
with his flagshipvictory.
76
00:06:15,668 --> 00:06:18,751
From the triumph at trafalgar
77
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,996
grew a worldwide British empire
78
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:25,299
that would last another century.
79
00:06:30,308 --> 00:06:33,675
Control of the high seas
requires a mastery
80
00:06:33,728 --> 00:06:38,097
of the most advanced
possible technology.
81
00:06:38,232 --> 00:06:40,097
Deep in the heart of the ship
82
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:44,352
sit two uranium-powered
nuclear reactors.
83
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:47,189
Essentially miniature suns,
84
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:50,404
these radioactive furnaces
boil water
85
00:06:50,536 --> 00:06:54,620
to create high-pressure steam
that spins giant turbines.
86
00:06:57,835 --> 00:07:00,076
The carrier's eight
electric generators
87
00:07:00,213 --> 00:07:03,797
could easily power
a city of 100,000 people.
88
00:07:06,761 --> 00:07:09,298
Using massive
reduction gearboxes,
89
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:13,218
the turbines also turn
four mammoth propeller shafts
90
00:07:13,351 --> 00:07:16,559
that drive the ship
at around 35 knots.
91
00:07:19,983 --> 00:07:23,350
Its top speed
remains highly classified.
92
00:07:27,991 --> 00:07:31,028
With regular maintenance,
they can run continuously
93
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,243
without refueling for 20 years.
94
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:56,883
Teamwork, collaboration,
camaraderie,
95
00:07:57,020 --> 00:07:59,386
staying mentally
and physically fit,
96
00:07:59,522 --> 00:08:04,312
are all critical among the crew
of a smooth-running ship.
97
00:08:06,195 --> 00:08:09,779
Every one of the 5,212 personnel
98
00:08:09,824 --> 00:08:12,361
is integral in the success
of the operation.
99
00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:15,030
Do a nice, easy turn.
Don't thrust or pull.
100
00:08:15,121 --> 00:08:18,079
No tiny detail
is left to chance.
101
00:08:18,207 --> 00:08:19,322
Does that make sense?
102
00:08:19,417 --> 00:08:20,497
Absolutely. Okay, cool.
103
00:08:29,427 --> 00:08:32,009
Roger that.
104
00:08:32,138 --> 00:08:35,596
Deck patrol, 2-11 needs
to be spotted off cat one.
105
00:08:37,435 --> 00:08:41,019
Blue shirts position and secure
the aircraft on the deck,
106
00:08:41,147 --> 00:08:44,639
making sure they are presented
for launch in the right order.
107
00:08:52,366 --> 00:08:54,231
Training has been continuous
108
00:08:54,368 --> 00:08:56,859
since the very first carriers
were launched
109
00:08:56,954 --> 00:08:59,366
more than a century ago.
110
00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:04,374
The battle group commander
111
00:09:04,462 --> 00:09:06,544
is responsible
for the coordination
112
00:09:06,672 --> 00:09:09,630
of all 26 nations
during the exercise.
113
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:12,250
Yeah, that's true. I mean,
we had ships from Italy...
114
00:09:12,386 --> 00:09:15,469
Patience, communication,
and diplomacy
115
00:09:15,598 --> 00:09:18,761
were not the hallmarks
of legendary admirals,
116
00:09:18,893 --> 00:09:23,853
but in an increasingly complex and
lethal world, they are critical.
117
00:09:23,981 --> 00:09:25,941
People want to participate,
and they want to help,
118
00:09:26,067 --> 00:09:28,558
and give their navies
a chance to shine.
119
00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:40,766
Came around on track, sir. Previously reported
contacts now on our port bow drawing left.
120
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:43,202
Recommend maintain, sir.
No. I think what I want to do
121
00:09:43,292 --> 00:09:45,783
is come a little bit more
to starboard, and, uh...
122
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,607
It's starting to merge through the fog. Let's
get through this. Come up at speed 20 knots.
123
00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:51,360
The Japanese on the starboard, and
then the Canadians are coming up...
124
00:09:51,384 --> 00:09:54,000
They're just behind us, right?
Uh, yes, sir.
125
00:09:54,137 --> 00:09:56,173
The carrier, as the flagship,
126
00:09:56,305 --> 00:10:00,674
is responsible for getting 55
vessels from all over the world
127
00:10:00,810 --> 00:10:04,223
organized and sailing together
in reasonable order.
128
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:14,020
Delta, bravo...
129
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:39,003
Seven hours per day.
130
00:10:39,140 --> 00:10:41,472
It's a big beacon.
131
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:47,429
It's, uh, distance...
2,500 kilometers from...
132
00:11:05,499 --> 00:11:07,535
This kind of
international cooperation
133
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:11,536
was inconceivable
even a hundred years ago.
134
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:16,173
By the beginning
of the 20th century,
135
00:11:16,219 --> 00:11:20,462
the giant guns of dreadnoughts,
or battleships,
136
00:11:20,514 --> 00:11:23,722
would dwarf
the cannons of trafalgar.
137
00:11:25,394 --> 00:11:27,601
As the first world war began,
138
00:11:27,730 --> 00:11:30,392
britain had a significant edge
over Germany
139
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:32,480
in both ships and guns,
140
00:11:32,610 --> 00:11:35,727
and did not expect
to be challenged.
141
00:11:38,032 --> 00:11:40,569
But in June of 1916,
142
00:11:40,701 --> 00:11:43,613
250 British and German ships
143
00:11:43,746 --> 00:11:47,614
engaged off the coast
of jutland in the north sea.
144
00:11:52,630 --> 00:11:57,795
It would come to be known as the
greatest battleship duel of all time.
145
00:11:59,762 --> 00:12:03,846
Fourteen British and eleven
German ships were sunk.
146
00:12:06,269 --> 00:12:09,636
8,500 young men were killed.
147
00:12:23,286 --> 00:12:25,618
The age of the battleship
had come to an end
148
00:12:25,746 --> 00:12:28,613
in less than two hours
of fighting.
149
00:12:32,378 --> 00:12:36,621
Modern defense systems are
evolving at an accelerating pace,
150
00:12:36,757 --> 00:12:40,545
questioning the wisdom
of expensive new procurement,
151
00:12:40,678 --> 00:12:43,260
challenging the status quo.
152
00:13:02,783 --> 00:13:05,115
The goal of rimpac is, in part,
153
00:13:05,202 --> 00:13:09,286
to test and integrate advances
in weapons technology.
154
00:13:15,921 --> 00:13:18,458
It gives crews a chance
to perfect their skills
155
00:13:18,591 --> 00:13:21,298
under battle-like conditions.
156
00:13:21,427 --> 00:13:25,295
The operation of an aircraft
carrier is, in itself,
157
00:13:25,431 --> 00:13:28,844
nearly as dangerous
as actual combat,
158
00:13:28,934 --> 00:13:31,971
and everyone on board
is well aware of that.
159
00:13:32,104 --> 00:13:34,390
Easy with it now. Easy with it.
160
00:13:34,523 --> 00:13:36,764
Easy with it. Easy with it.
161
00:13:39,153 --> 00:13:43,112
Modern fighter aircraft,
like the f-18 super hornet,
162
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,526
can lock on
and intercept enemy aircraft
163
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:48,321
long before visual contact,
164
00:13:48,371 --> 00:13:50,532
yet they still
carry machine guns
165
00:13:50,664 --> 00:13:55,249
that look like they might belong
on a world war I biplane.
166
00:13:55,378 --> 00:13:59,121
Even in an age
of advanced missiles,
167
00:13:59,256 --> 00:14:02,498
pilots must still prepare
for the unlikely prospect
168
00:14:02,635 --> 00:14:05,627
of an old-fashioned dogfight.
169
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:14,636
Launching a 37,000-pound
f-18 super hornet
170
00:14:14,772 --> 00:14:16,979
off a carrier may look simple,
171
00:14:17,066 --> 00:14:20,479
but bad weather, enemy fire,
and accidents
172
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:24,437
all contribute
to very real danger.
173
00:14:24,573 --> 00:14:27,485
After a century
of trial and error,
174
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:31,694
one launch system
has proved robust and reliable.
175
00:14:33,207 --> 00:14:35,914
Below deck are tanks
of high-pressure steam
176
00:14:36,001 --> 00:14:38,492
from the
nuclear-powered boilers.
177
00:14:41,424 --> 00:14:44,382
They provide explosive
expansion power to pistons
178
00:14:44,427 --> 00:14:47,715
sitting in 300-foot-long tubes.
179
00:14:50,933 --> 00:14:54,050
Like shells waiting
in the barrel of a gun.
180
00:14:59,316 --> 00:15:02,023
Once released,
the power of the piston
181
00:15:02,111 --> 00:15:05,945
can launch an aircraft
with the force of four g's,
182
00:15:06,031 --> 00:15:10,491
catapulting the plane
from zero to 160 miles an hour
183
00:15:10,619 --> 00:15:12,575
in just three seconds.
184
00:15:36,562 --> 00:15:38,803
Every role on board is critical
185
00:15:38,939 --> 00:15:42,898
to the exquisite ballet
of launch and recovery.
186
00:16:39,542 --> 00:16:40,952
Heads up!
187
00:16:51,929 --> 00:16:54,511
As exciting as the
steam-powered catapult launch
188
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,505
is for the fighter pilot,
189
00:16:56,642 --> 00:16:59,975
a safe landing is even better.
190
00:17:10,656 --> 00:17:16,242
An aircraft's tailhook must snag
one of four arresting cables.
191
00:17:16,370 --> 00:17:20,158
This braided wire weaves
900 feet through the carrier
192
00:17:20,249 --> 00:17:22,331
down to an arrestor engine.
193
00:17:26,463 --> 00:17:29,375
As the momentum of the plane
pulls on the cable,
194
00:17:29,466 --> 00:17:33,175
a huge piston forces
hydraulic fluid in one tank
195
00:17:33,262 --> 00:17:35,378
against air in another,
196
00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:39,260
compressing the air up to
400 pounds per square inch...
197
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:46,230
Stopping the aircraft and pilot
in just two seconds.
198
00:17:50,863 --> 00:17:53,730
The comforting embrace
of the arresting cable
199
00:17:53,866 --> 00:17:59,611
is regarded as among the most euphoric
experiences in all of aviation.
200
00:17:59,705 --> 00:18:04,119
Japanese on the starboard, normandyin
front. That looks pretty good.
201
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:06,040
All right. And the submarines.
202
00:18:06,128 --> 00:18:09,620
Who can find the submarines?
203
00:18:09,715 --> 00:18:13,173
Always...
It's always the submarines.
204
00:18:13,302 --> 00:18:17,170
The great strength of the
submarine is its stealth.
205
00:18:17,306 --> 00:18:20,764
Annoying to its friends,
lethal to its enemies.
206
00:18:20,893 --> 00:18:22,804
We still need one more
submarine to find.
207
00:18:22,936 --> 00:18:26,394
Yes, sir. I'm still waiting on the t.A.
To call back. All right...
208
00:18:26,523 --> 00:18:30,766
Also at rimpac is the new
Virginia class submarine.
209
00:18:32,237 --> 00:18:34,979
It is 377 feet long
210
00:18:35,115 --> 00:18:38,073
and 34 feet wide.
211
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,152
Speed can exceed 25 knots
212
00:18:41,246 --> 00:18:44,283
and potentially over 30.
213
00:18:45,626 --> 00:18:48,163
Onboard, crew number 120
214
00:18:48,253 --> 00:18:51,461
enlisted men and women
and 14 officers.
215
00:18:51,548 --> 00:18:54,005
- Range 4-1-0 yards.
- Very well.
216
00:18:55,761 --> 00:18:57,922
The nuclear propulsion system
217
00:18:57,971 --> 00:19:01,555
produces 40,000 horsepower.
218
00:19:01,684 --> 00:19:04,551
Safety sweep. A
modern nuclear sub
219
00:19:04,687 --> 00:19:07,303
could stay underwater
almost indefinitely,
220
00:19:07,439 --> 00:19:10,556
like an aircraft carrier
limited only by
221
00:19:10,693 --> 00:19:12,934
its on board supply of food.
222
00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:18,822
It makes its own fresh water
for drinking and showers.
223
00:19:18,951 --> 00:19:23,786
I understand what you're saying, but we
cannot risk attacking a neutral country.
224
00:19:23,872 --> 00:19:28,206
They are capable of launching
Mark 48 torpedoes,
225
00:19:28,293 --> 00:19:31,831
tactical tomahawks,
harpoon missiles,
226
00:19:31,964 --> 00:19:33,829
and the new,
advanced mobile mine.
227
00:19:33,966 --> 00:19:35,326
When they racetrack back around.
228
00:19:39,304 --> 00:19:41,340
More than
a thousand feet of water
229
00:19:41,473 --> 00:19:45,182
provides a stealthy layer
of protection for the submarine
230
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:49,053
as it defends the carrier
and other surface ships above.
231
00:19:53,902 --> 00:19:55,984
Like great weapons of the past,
232
00:19:56,029 --> 00:20:00,989
navies simply cannot afford to
lose battles fought in earnest.
233
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:10,533
Despite the horrendous losses suffered
by the Germans and British at jutland,
234
00:20:10,627 --> 00:20:14,085
battleships reappeared
in the second world war...
235
00:20:15,841 --> 00:20:18,708
Much bigger and far more lethal.
236
00:20:18,761 --> 00:20:23,050
Enchanted with the
powerful symbolism of big guns,
237
00:20:23,140 --> 00:20:26,098
Adolf Hitler invested heavily
in battleships,
238
00:20:26,226 --> 00:20:28,888
including thetirpitz
andbismarck.
239
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:41,022
The German ships
were superbly built and manned.
240
00:20:41,158 --> 00:20:45,197
They were thought to be invincible
like the Nazis themselves.
241
00:20:45,287 --> 00:20:46,652
Jj
242
00:21:03,555 --> 00:21:06,046
The
cruisernorfolk sighted thebismarck
243
00:21:06,183 --> 00:21:07,673
before her battle with thehood.
244
00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:10,677
Followed the German ship
like a bloodhound.
245
00:21:10,813 --> 00:21:14,397
Thebismarck's rudder
was damaged by light aircraft.
246
00:21:14,483 --> 00:21:16,439
The crippled ship
was then pounded
247
00:21:16,568 --> 00:21:20,186
by 2,800 shells
from British warships,
248
00:21:20,322 --> 00:21:23,860
before being scuttled
by the German crew.
249
00:21:25,118 --> 00:21:29,202
2,100 German sailors died.
250
00:21:33,836 --> 00:21:37,795
As the age of the battleship
was coming to a close,
251
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,628
that of the aircraft carrier
was just beginning.
252
00:21:53,021 --> 00:21:57,105
Each rimpac features
emerging advanced technology,
253
00:21:57,234 --> 00:22:02,445
like the f-35, a
fifth-generation strike fighter.
254
00:22:03,949 --> 00:22:05,860
Since world war ll,
255
00:22:05,951 --> 00:22:08,693
increasingly powerful radar
has been used
256
00:22:08,829 --> 00:22:11,115
to detect
inbound enemy aircraft.
257
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:13,701
With growing sophistication,
258
00:22:13,834 --> 00:22:16,917
modern radar has been used
to lock on to enemy planes
259
00:22:17,045 --> 00:22:19,252
and shoot them down
with guided missiles
260
00:22:19,381 --> 00:22:23,875
fired over the horizon
beyond visual range.
261
00:22:23,969 --> 00:22:26,631
All right. Hold on.
Let me check the roll.
262
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,342
Much of the new fighter's
advancements focus
263
00:22:29,474 --> 00:22:34,639
on hiding from radar with a
technology called stealth.
264
00:22:34,688 --> 00:22:38,226
The f-35 has multiple layers
of skin coating
265
00:22:38,358 --> 00:22:40,223
that absorb radar waves,
266
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:44,228
preventing them from bouncing
back to enemy radar screens.
267
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:50,158
Engine intake and exhausts
are specially designed
268
00:22:50,287 --> 00:22:53,700
to deflect and mask
the jet's thermal signature,
269
00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:56,998
avoiding detection
from heat-seeking missiles.
270
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:04,419
It can carry more than 15,000
pounds of weapons externally,
271
00:23:04,509 --> 00:23:07,376
or more than 5,000 pounds
internally,
272
00:23:07,512 --> 00:23:11,175
dramatically improving
the f35's stealth profile.
273
00:23:16,605 --> 00:23:19,722
The us marine variant,
the f-35b,
274
00:23:19,816 --> 00:23:23,183
has more than
40,000 pounds of thrust,
275
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,686
giving pilots more raw power
276
00:23:25,822 --> 00:23:28,279
than any other fighter engine
in history.
277
00:23:48,929 --> 00:23:50,840
704 airborne.
278
00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:06,727
704 departure. Radar contact.
279
00:24:17,666 --> 00:24:21,750
The us Navy's version
is the f-35c.
280
00:24:23,088 --> 00:24:25,329
Designed for carrier operations,
281
00:24:25,465 --> 00:24:28,502
it has larger wings,
with tips that fold,
282
00:24:28,593 --> 00:24:34,133
and tougher landing gear for catapult
launches and carrier arrestments.
283
00:24:34,266 --> 00:24:37,133
413 departure. Radar contact.
284
00:24:40,897 --> 00:24:42,262
413 airborne.
285
00:24:55,912 --> 00:24:58,995
201 airborne.
286
00:25:02,794 --> 00:25:06,002
The pilot's helmet displays
all pertinent information
287
00:25:06,131 --> 00:25:08,497
no matter where
the pilot is looking.
288
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:11,375
The aircraft's
distributed aperture system
289
00:25:11,511 --> 00:25:14,093
uses six
electro-optical sensors,
290
00:25:14,222 --> 00:25:17,840
giving the pilot
an unprecedented 360 degrees
291
00:25:17,934 --> 00:25:19,390
of situational awareness.
292
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:21,885
Level 2-5-0...
293
00:25:22,022 --> 00:25:25,640
The pilot can actually
look through the aircraft itself.
294
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,151
All the key information
the pilot needs
295
00:25:37,245 --> 00:25:39,577
is projected
onto the helmet's visor,
296
00:25:39,664 --> 00:25:44,408
allowing for instant
coordinated response.
297
00:25:44,544 --> 00:25:49,459
The missile warning system sees subtle
heat differences across the landscape.
298
00:26:02,395 --> 00:26:07,640
Flight 873's got mam
at 270 for 45 at 25,000.
299
00:26:07,776 --> 00:26:12,065
The new strike fighter shares
data seamlessly with other f-35s,
300
00:26:12,114 --> 00:26:16,949
but also with allied aircraft and
commanders on water or land.
301
00:26:19,621 --> 00:26:21,486
205, Roger.
302
00:26:21,623 --> 00:26:24,535
Computer
technology so sophisticated,
303
00:26:24,626 --> 00:26:28,244
it can identify types of planes
and nationality
304
00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:32,248
and recommend to the pilot
suggested weapons to deploy.
305
00:26:38,223 --> 00:26:40,760
The das sensors
can even spot a whale
306
00:26:40,892 --> 00:26:45,761
or, more importantly,
a submarine on the surface.
307
00:26:45,897 --> 00:26:47,097
Lightning 7-3, target.
308
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,528
When submarines first appeared
in the theater of war,
309
00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:58,899
British admirals
considered them unethical...
310
00:26:59,035 --> 00:27:03,119
The weapons of cowards who refused to
fight on the surface like real men.
311
00:27:07,043 --> 00:27:09,034
The stealthy, high-tech
German submarine
312
00:27:09,171 --> 00:27:12,629
was regarded by some as the
battleship of the future.
313
00:27:14,551 --> 00:27:17,167
In the early years
of world war il,
314
00:27:17,262 --> 00:27:20,595
they had a lethal advantage
in the north Atlantic.
315
00:27:22,976 --> 00:27:26,935
Attacking and sinking thousands
of defenseless cargo ships,
316
00:27:27,063 --> 00:27:31,147
strangling the lifeline
of the allied war effort.
317
00:27:32,861 --> 00:27:35,944
In desperation,
hundreds of small corvettes
318
00:27:36,072 --> 00:27:39,280
were hurriedly built
to defend the convoys.
319
00:27:39,367 --> 00:27:43,986
Based on a fishing boat,
they were cheap and simple.
320
00:27:45,874 --> 00:27:50,038
Their crews were amateurs
and most often teenagers.
321
00:27:50,170 --> 00:27:52,786
They had the smallest guns
in the Navy.
322
00:27:55,383 --> 00:28:00,468
Yet day and night, they fought the
terrible cruelty of submarine warfare,
323
00:28:00,513 --> 00:28:04,677
struggling to save the lives
of merchant seamen.
324
00:28:15,237 --> 00:28:16,797
The British, American,
325
00:28:16,821 --> 00:28:19,608
and Canadian forces
of the sea and air
326
00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:23,359
hurled our strength
upon the u-boat.
327
00:28:32,337 --> 00:28:35,249
Gradually, these
and other tiny escort ships
328
00:28:35,340 --> 00:28:37,922
of the Canadian, British,
and American navies
329
00:28:38,051 --> 00:28:41,259
clawed back
the German advantage,
330
00:28:41,346 --> 00:28:43,632
sinking 700 submarines
331
00:28:43,765 --> 00:28:46,757
and winning the largest
naval battle in human history.
332
00:28:54,567 --> 00:28:58,856
Early submarines were plagued by
lack of situational awareness.
333
00:28:58,947 --> 00:29:03,316
Like blind mice in a cave, they knew
little of what lay around them.
334
00:29:03,451 --> 00:29:06,943
Ship to 5-8 feet. Submerge the
ship to 5-8 feet, aye, sir.
335
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,538
Pilot, submerge the ship
to 5-8 feet.
336
00:29:10,583 --> 00:29:15,077
Thevirginia class's sophisticated
electronic periscope and sensors
337
00:29:15,171 --> 00:29:19,665
allow crew members access
to vital information.
338
00:29:23,096 --> 00:29:25,303
They know exactly where they are
339
00:29:25,390 --> 00:29:27,346
and, even more importantly,
340
00:29:27,475 --> 00:29:30,842
they know the whereabouts
of both friend and foe.
341
00:29:41,323 --> 00:29:45,282
Maritime interdiction, gunnery,
342
00:29:45,410 --> 00:29:48,277
missile testing, anti-submarine,
343
00:29:48,413 --> 00:29:53,703
mine clearance, air defense,
amphibious landing...
344
00:29:57,714 --> 00:30:00,751
All demand coordinated planning
345
00:30:00,842 --> 00:30:04,084
and much trial and error.
346
00:30:07,432 --> 00:30:11,596
Advances in weapons systems seek
to integrate international navies,
347
00:30:11,728 --> 00:30:15,516
armies, and air forces
into unified fighting units.
348
00:30:17,108 --> 00:30:19,599
Advanced electronic
warfare systems
349
00:30:19,736 --> 00:30:23,320
can identify in detail
friend from foe,
350
00:30:23,448 --> 00:30:27,487
jam enemy assets, and provide
an electronic shield
351
00:30:27,619 --> 00:30:30,531
to cloak threatened
friendly forces.
352
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,503
So clear switches hot. Cleared hot.
Release on condition.
353
00:30:54,479 --> 00:30:57,016
Lightning 7-3 kill. C-41.
354
00:31:00,693 --> 00:31:02,558
Fuel 330, speed 2-4.
355
00:31:02,695 --> 00:31:05,277
Confirm that the target
is outside territorial waters.
356
00:31:05,407 --> 00:31:06,442
Aye, sir. Stand by.
357
00:31:07,492 --> 00:31:10,404
We're ready.
358
00:31:10,495 --> 00:31:14,158
Take the... steady!
359
00:31:19,587 --> 00:31:22,374
Ten seconds. Cleared to release.
360
00:31:27,804 --> 00:31:30,671
Lightning 7-3, attack.
361
00:31:30,807 --> 00:31:35,176
Twenty seconds. Master arm on.
Arms armed.
362
00:31:43,945 --> 00:31:47,984
Launch three.
363
00:32:26,237 --> 00:32:29,229
Lightning 7-3 off safe.
364
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,775
One away.
Man 2: Weapons cleared.
365
00:33:02,023 --> 00:33:04,480
What was a gun
battle one moment can,
366
00:33:04,609 --> 00:33:09,194
in the blink of an eye, become a
battle for survival of another kind.
367
00:33:09,322 --> 00:33:14,783
For thousands of years, sailors have
feared violent seas as much as the enemy.
368
00:33:24,045 --> 00:33:26,878
What rimpac highlights is
the very complicated missions
369
00:33:27,006 --> 00:33:29,213
navies are asked to perform
in the modern world.
370
00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:36,425
Terrorism, piracy, earthquakes,
371
00:33:36,558 --> 00:33:40,801
fires, hurricanes,
humanitarian disasters.
372
00:33:40,853 --> 00:33:45,847
Services that once jealously
competed increasingly work together.
373
00:34:10,258 --> 00:34:14,547
Navies, national guards,
air forces,
374
00:34:14,596 --> 00:34:17,212
coast guards, marines...
375
00:34:17,348 --> 00:34:21,341
All of them are invited to practice
their highly skilled crafts
376
00:34:21,394 --> 00:34:23,601
during rim of the pacific.
377
00:34:23,688 --> 00:34:26,270
November, zulu.
378
00:34:33,906 --> 00:34:35,988
Not long ago, the game of war
379
00:34:36,117 --> 00:34:39,029
was played
with much higher stakes.
380
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,033
Sailors and airmen died in
earnest and in large numbers.
381
00:34:43,124 --> 00:34:48,289
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941,
382
00:34:48,421 --> 00:34:51,254
United States of America
was suddenly
383
00:34:51,382 --> 00:34:55,466
and deliberately attacked
by naval and air forces...
384
00:34:55,595 --> 00:34:57,881
Following the
bombing of Pearl harbor,
385
00:34:57,930 --> 00:35:00,967
the Japanese gambled they could
draw the American carriers
386
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:03,466
into a trap
near the island of midway.
387
00:35:03,603 --> 00:35:08,393
But the Americans secretly broke the
Japanese code and were prepared.
388
00:35:08,441 --> 00:35:11,933
Get the saws on these guys and
see what's going on. Aye, sir.
389
00:35:32,048 --> 00:35:36,758
American pilots, knowing they didn't
have the fuel to make it back,
390
00:35:36,844 --> 00:35:39,927
still gambled they could
find the Japanese fleet.
391
00:35:39,972 --> 00:35:42,805
And find them they did.
392
00:35:47,188 --> 00:35:51,352
They sank three Japanese
carriers in eight minutes.
393
00:36:19,178 --> 00:36:23,342
By the end of the day, four
Japanese carriers were sunk,
394
00:36:23,474 --> 00:36:25,681
along with one heavy cruiser.
395
00:36:27,812 --> 00:36:32,681
Three thousand Japanese
crew members lost their lives.
396
00:36:32,734 --> 00:36:37,068
The Americans
lost only theyorktown.
397
00:36:37,196 --> 00:36:42,156
Few of the us aircraft
made it back to their ships.
398
00:36:42,243 --> 00:36:45,360
It was a turning point
in the pacific war,
399
00:36:45,496 --> 00:36:48,203
sealing the Japanese fate.
400
00:36:48,332 --> 00:36:51,824
The battle of midway
remains the greatest victory
401
00:36:51,919 --> 00:36:54,376
in American naval history.
402
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,258
War or not, landing a fighter
aircraft on board a carrier remains
403
00:37:04,348 --> 00:37:09,138
the most challenging and admired
skill in all of aviation.
404
00:37:22,742 --> 00:37:25,358
The landing safety
officer's voice...
405
00:37:25,453 --> 00:37:28,536
Always a fellow pilot...
Provides a vital measure
406
00:37:28,581 --> 00:37:30,788
of precision and confidence
407
00:37:30,875 --> 00:37:33,787
at exactly the right moment.
408
00:37:40,176 --> 00:37:42,758
327, two miles.
409
00:38:07,286 --> 00:38:10,574
The new f-35b
avoids the complexity
410
00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:13,948
of a catapult
and arrestor cables.
411
00:38:24,345 --> 00:38:26,677
It can operate almost anywhere...
412
00:38:26,806 --> 00:38:31,300
A strategic advantage
in almost any kind of conflict.
413
00:38:43,865 --> 00:38:45,856
Like all new weapon systems,
414
00:38:45,950 --> 00:38:50,535
it seeks to provide a distinct
advantage over possible enemies.
415
00:39:06,262 --> 00:39:08,924
Indeed, the goal
of modern navies
416
00:39:09,056 --> 00:39:12,890
is to provide the most
effective weapons, tactics,
417
00:39:12,977 --> 00:39:16,185
and training
as an overwhelming deterrence...
418
00:39:16,272 --> 00:39:21,733
Avoiding at all costs
the risk of real war.
419
00:39:23,779 --> 00:39:26,771
Most captains will tell you
that their passion
420
00:39:26,908 --> 00:39:30,571
is to bring every crew member
back home safely.
421
00:39:30,703 --> 00:39:34,696
For they are young people
who work long, hard,
422
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:37,907
dangerous hours,
months at a time,
423
00:39:38,002 --> 00:39:40,709
with little or no recognition.
424
00:39:40,796 --> 00:39:45,881
They make these sacrifices for their
families, communities, and nations.
425
00:39:46,010 --> 00:39:47,875
Hi, mom. Hi, dad.
426
00:39:48,012 --> 00:39:50,503
Hi, everyone back in Glen arm,
Maryland,
427
00:39:50,598 --> 00:39:52,884
a little town that most people
have never heard of.
428
00:39:52,934 --> 00:39:55,220
Shout out to the people
back home in Texas.
429
00:39:55,311 --> 00:39:57,017
Booyah.
430
00:39:57,104 --> 00:39:59,095
Shout out to people in San Jose.
431
00:39:59,231 --> 00:40:02,268
Stay warm, Michigan.
Salt lake city, Utah.
432
00:40:02,401 --> 00:40:04,608
Hi, mom.
433
00:40:04,737 --> 00:40:06,193
Love you, Texas.
434
00:40:09,617 --> 00:40:15,032
From great naval battles,
civilizations Rose and fell.
435
00:40:15,122 --> 00:40:19,456
Yet there is more firepower
on board the ships of rimpac
436
00:40:19,543 --> 00:40:24,128
than all the bombs used in all
of the wars in human history.
437
00:40:27,343 --> 00:40:32,633
The goal of modern navies
is to avoid war at all cost,
438
00:40:32,765 --> 00:40:35,427
for if there is
another great war,
439
00:40:35,559 --> 00:40:40,019
nothing will rise from the ashes,
neither righteous nor evil.
440
00:40:43,567 --> 00:40:48,652
There will be no romantic paintings,
nor writers to celebrate the victory.
441
00:41:00,793 --> 00:41:04,285
After 4,000 years
of naval warfare,
442
00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:08,419
we have little choice
but to sail together,
443
00:41:08,509 --> 00:41:10,795
work towards peace,
444
00:41:10,886 --> 00:41:12,797
and all return home
445
00:41:12,888 --> 00:41:15,880
safely to our families.
