Ok ok, one last one,
Hydrofoils are the fastest way I know to have the benefits of sea travel, but with reduced drag.
Other than the sharkskin thing are there any interesting or novel ways for travelling at speed underwater?
Do the fastest subs just power through?

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

thanks

verivir.bsky.social•133 days ago

Why have we not built cool underwater bases or even cool hotels? Have we no vision or is it just unfeasible or actually not that fun?

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

Good question, thanks!

verivir.bsky.social•133 days ago

Im a lecturer, questions is what I do. I have to remind myself to hold back when i meet SMEs.

How in gods name do undersea drones receive signals?
I saw a cool drone that could fly from under water, and imagined a cool unmanned sub that could launch these, but i thought water messed with signals.
Lots of repeaters?

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

That one might be trickier to answer fully, it’s nuanced

I’ll see if I can fit it into a concise answer

It’s hard is the short answer, autonomy is key

verivir.bsky.social•133 days ago

Ok. I can see how that might work. But basically we arent advanced enough to use quantum entanglement or something like this.
Light, sound, EM, the sea hates everything.

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

Quantum comms are a thing, but what are the power requirements? (Cooling as well etc)

verivir.bsky.social•133 days ago

Fair enough, i'll save it for my subsea hotel - quantum-powered business calls suite.

Looks like VON STEUBEN

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed a number of innovative submarine technologies, arguably many more than the US Navy. But US Navy submarines were always quieter, sometimes much quieter than their Soviet counterparts. Which navy made the right decisions re submarine technology?

covertshores.bsky.social•132 days ago

U.S. and UK.
Might be able to address it in more detail in the Q&A

kennen11.bsky.social•133 days ago

Do you mean you want questions for things you can answer on your YT channel?

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

exactly

kennen11.bsky.social•133 days ago

Okay, I'll ask one, then.

Have there ever been a Yellow Submarine?
Would a Yellow Submarine be practical and would it harder to see in the Yellow sea by the seashore selling sea shells?
Thanks in advance

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

Yellow is a common colour to paint submarines and underwater vehicles because it's easy to sea, so better find them. Even US Navy SEALs have at times painted their minisubs yellow for this reason.

So when the Beatles sung it, it was because it's normal

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

easy to see even

irawolf.bsky.social•128 days ago

Exactly how is NATO now protecting undersea cables in its northern seas? How can undersea drones presently assist with this mission? Thank you.

jkirkfischer.bsky.social•125 days ago

Most af Denmarks missiles is placed on 5 frigates and DK is planning to build more frigates. It seems like a vulnerable asset to be placing so much defense capability on, as seen in the black sea. I think that goes for most European navies, they seem vulnerable in a prolonged war. Your thoughts?

macpohl.bsky.social•133 days ago

I'm still curious about the narco subs. Their max range? Did the ones discovered in western Europe come from the Americas? If so, were they refueled en route? Have any been discovered that were fully submersible? If you've answered these in your narco sub videos, I may have missed it. Apologies.

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

I think I have covered these topics in numerous places, but I can address it in the Q&A for clarity

macpohl.bsky.social•133 days ago

I'll read your book on the topic too! I must have been sleep walking.

macpohl.bsky.social•133 days ago

I'll go back and catch what I missed. Thank you.

bassetwrangler.bsky.social•130 days ago

What are the gaps in European navies that will need to be filled if the US is no longer dependable?

covertshores.bsky.social•130 days ago

Blimey that’s a deep question

Will try

barthpeter.bsky.social•133 days ago

Are there any still classified technical details, specifications /design elements/ equipment of USS Halibut, USS Parche or NR-1 you are quite keen to know?

duncanajones.bsky.social•125 days ago

For conventional subs is A.I.P or large banks of lithium batteries, the way forward?

pgsw.bsky.social•132 days ago

Do you have any idea what happen to Estonia?
Check Fokus Estonia on YT!

ctosterhout.bsky.social•133 days ago

I'm still wondering how the aircraft equipped subs were even possible BITD, let alone the guiding concept behind them — what would be your recommendation to learn more about these fascinating chimeras?

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

There's no one answer, but I'll address it in the Q&A. Thanks!

Might be worth a dedicated video some time

walydug.bsky.social•133 days ago

What are the best features that have never been built into submarines?

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

Oh, define best?

walydug.bsky.social•133 days ago

Very cool ideas that lost out to compromise/actual needs, or things that might come in the future

dagigs.bsky.social•133 days ago

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the future of the Russian navy as funding is being diverted to Ukraine instead of maintenance and procurement for the Navy.

Might be a good episode, Love your content and books as well they are a staple of my military history shelf.

covertshores.bsky.social•133 days ago

Partly covered here, but can address it at a high level in the Q&A
