Speaking as an American (and former naval person) I'm DAMNED glad to have allies like this.

The Rememberance Day part choked me up as a Navy veteran. My great grandfather was at the Somme, my paternal Grandfather flew P-51s in WW2, I am a GWOT veteran and have more dead friends than living now. It hits hard.

A Canadian here sending love and support to the amazing crew aboard the HMS Northumberlnd. Thankful they are on our side.

Respect to the Royal Navy from Canada 🇨🇦

Im sure russians analyze every moment of this footage...Despite anything, You guys deserve only the kindest words. With love from the Baltics.

Keep these cutting edge documentary’s coming

What a great ship with a wonderful crew. I wish them safe and boring journeys always. ❤from Sweden.

Sweet!!! Been looking forward to this, stumbled across this a while back and now we're hooked...

Wow! Wearing his grandad's jumper on remembrance day I find really touching!

To say the type 23 is a cutting edge frigate……

Thank You for standing Watch!

When did Bill Bailey become a chaplain? Silliness aside, great crew and captain, they should all be proud of their service. Lovely ending. Great series.

Looks like you have things well in hand, and a tremendous thank you to the sleeping vets, rest in peace men.

The ship should play heavy metal music under water

I've been fairly critical of this ship from the last few episodes. I only have question for this episode. Why wasn't the steering gear greased on a regular basis? I would think that it would be greased as part of its normal maintenance. But perhaps I'm just being nit-picking. As far as the Russians - it was just Russians being Russians. I served in The US Navy during the Vietnam War, and we had a Soviet "fishing trawler" shadowing us everywhere we went. The interesting part was that the "fishing trawlers" had about 100 antennae sticking up from it. I was touched by their Remembrance Day ceremony. As someone who has lost many friends, ceremonies such as this are always tough, but necessary.

Very good documentary. As a Canadian I always enjoyed working with the British military.

Thanks to all armed forces for serving their country!

I really like this show.. Good on the them !!

I would venture to guess the Russians are surveying the trans Atlantic communications cables

I was born & raised in Northumberland county in Ontario, it's beautiful place, everywhere back home in Ontario is named after towns in UK

Covered in rust, zero redundancy when their main systems go down, in the middle of operation no less, seemingly understaffed and green crew, Yeah.. Cutting edge frigate alright.. If anything this video shows the absolute state of the british navy.

We need a strong UK in this ever changing world, hats off to ya.

Im surprised for security reasons more screens arent blurred in the ops room or anywhere for that matter.....but posters in the mess room are blurred lol

Fair winds and following seas to these sailors. I steamed in the North Atlantic/Berants Sea back in 1971 while attached to NATO operation Royal Knight. My ship USS Dahlgren DLG-12 was a missile destroyer and we pretty much did the same thing these guys are doing. Chasing Russian/Soviet subs.

Interesting they run out of footage. 9:22 it is a different ship. F81 Sutherland

I was in the US Navy during the Viet Nam war. We were flown over by Russian Bear bombers on many occasions.

Pretty sure this is what the U.S would call "freedom of navigation"

Wonderful modern military documentaries are always good to watch

That Vickar uses some baddie words isn't he?

ordered to investigate as soon as she is seaworthy 😂😂

Not sure if the went to Sunday service for the service or an hour off. Either way Its great they have a minister on board

@spark upload all episodes

Thank you Great Britain, from the USA. You are our very best, and closest ally. We are grateful for all you do.

How about the Russian ship was a decoy and they had sub or even a drone on the opposite side recording the US sub sound. Also while it's a frigate pretty sure the Brits involved one of their own suba as countermeasure

...Never forget....

This is really good content. It captivates me immensely. I wonder how the Russians know that an American submarine is going to dock and at what location? Also, I'm not sure if that noise will really help. With the materials I have at my disposal, I can build a drone boat so small that it can easily approach within a meter of the submarine without anyone noticing. This video gives me confidence on one hand and, on the other hand, not at all.

This is nice, but it raises some questions. How did the Russians know where to be and when to be there to intercept the U.S. submarine? The radar showed an awful lot of Russian vessels off the coast of Ireland, which the Russians had to know would attract unwanted attention from the Royal Navy. The Russian bomber that flew over H.M.S. Northumberland was "a few miles" off the coast of Ireland and flying toward Ireland. Where were the Typhoons to intercept it?

Sure, state of the art... decades old frigate design, they have already retired few of these.

If they came into my kite space they would know all about it !

The very fact that the russians were there at all, plainly shows that they already knew perfectly well that the US sub was there, long before it arrived.

Did the British submarine fleet finally get an admiral from that linkedin offer they put out?

Tim reminds me of Ricky Gervais.

At 26:40 We will keep this secret and not let the information be spread outside Northumberland. 🤐

Why isn't there a maintenance card to grease the steering?

maybe they are taking king crabs 😂😂😂

Suspicious Russian activity? Ha ha' that's funny! if you know they're there it's because they want you to know, it's Captain Kirk and the Klingons... no cloaking device needed.

How did the ruzzians know the sub was going to surface??!!

Her müessesenin bir mahremi vardir 1:28

Hay we don’t have any steering on the ship. Maybe we aut to look into that. Wahahahaha the funniest part of this video.

press it pyutin

All due respect to these guys, but the USS Ford just got back from a 7 month deployment - they're complaining about being out to sea for a couple weeks???

Nothing sus about it, they been in that area since ever since kids.😊

We all know their still looking for MEGATRON 😂

Russians play in the Arctic.

I've seen the Russian Navy up close (1-2 meters close), I've known Russian sailors. The Russians worst enemy is themselves!

Another name for a russian naval vessel is "future reef".

I love how they play stupid when it comes to intel on Russian ships.. The US is tracking and watching just about every advisories ships and subs with its own subs, ships and satellites. UK just wants to ack like their little bass boat navy is doing something lol!

Why would Russia or China invade England when they can just stay with their mates in mansions in Mayfair, and visit Boris while they're there?

As if you wouldn’t just put a noise maker in the water to disrupt the sound. Just get a few high powered underwater speakers and blast some tunes.

Trade in your ship (Great big target) for a Boat (prepare to dive).....

Freedom of navigation...

🎉🎉

Here comes a comment section full of orcs.

Bet they wish this has never been agreed in hindsight.

INDIA ❤RUSSIA

What's with the crabby rust marks all over the sides? I've never seen such a sloppy mess. Run ashore? Shesh they've only been at sea a couple of days.

Engine room is a good place to wear a knee pad or two to cushion those catwalks.

You continuously showing this one ship....UK dont have any other ship....😅

and you probably think russia only have limited warship compared to yours..

Sadly Canada 🇨🇦 should be helping with proper kit and equipment, we an an amazing service, men/ woman, but the government is NOT funding them properly

Why will it be suspicious for Russia if they will be at the Arctic circle? Can't you see the location of your country from the Arctic? 😅

Suspicious lol

The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂😂

I love this series. I'm a USAF vet and I've often wondered what life would be like in the navy. When it comes to Navys, the British Navy has so much experience, and I think your warships are better than ours in many ways. The Type 45 is a beast and I'm glad you're on our side. I fear WW3 has already started and if so I hope we can stand united and do what needs to be done, no more or no less. I'm a Republican that voted for Trump last go around. That being said, I'm not sure I'll vote for him purely for his foreign policies, i.e., anti NATO, anti Ukraine, etc. This sucks because Biden has been a crappy president and Trump was awesome. Once again we're in a position to choose the lesser of two evils. I pray for our leaders.

2027

The Tupolev TU-95 "Bear" is not a spy plane, its an old cold war bomber that just doing a fly over.

INDIA ❤ISRAEL

Uraaa Russia ♥️♥️♥️

"To improve moral I have the peasants have a cooking competition to cook me my best meal"...... brilliant idea, my little lord fuckelroy.......

This is like the 3rd time you played this but under different titles! WTF?

Nobody is better at ASW than the British, Canadian and U.S. Navy, prepare to be blown straight to Mars Mr Putin

Britain baby is crying in the corner😂

Да в России смотрим . Удивительно только то что на борту корабля много толстых и некрасивых женщин. Это к беде. Впервые увидел в бинокль женщин на борту авианосца Арк Роял в 1987 году в английском канале. Тогда англичанки были красивее

Next, they will be telling us they have landed on the moon

It's best for everyone if you get a serious job

"Northumberland is undergoing rigorous checks to make sure she is sea worthy"... You mean the rigorous sea worthy checks and maintenance that should have been conducted before she was deployed and that got the Moskva Sunk? If I were Cpt of the Russian warship, F238 would be an ocean ornament.

How did the nazi spyship know where the US submarine would come up? The Russians should have been rather clueless about that detail. Or is this a standard approach and surfacing area with regular arrivals!?

The guy sounds like a political operative more than a reverend.

❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉4🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

hold on, they really think that russia doesnt have a recording sound of a us or uk sub ??? wtf are they drinking in their tea

Title should be NATO STILL poking the bear.

Reality TV. Annoying and unwatchable. As a Surface Navy veteran I was hopeful. But this video was to annoying.

Putin doesn’t want none of this

Wonder how long we'll last when ww3 kicks off

YOU ARE BABY FOR RUSSIAN 😅

America is always never the suspect 😂🖕🏽

UK and the US uniting. To make Russia look suspicious 😂😂😂

Very unprofessional and unimpressive 😂

Next Spark docu: "Suspicious Russians" walking around the Kremlin. 🤣😂🤣
