Each military vessel has its own story
0:02
to tell. However, it is only natural to
0:04
be more curious when you chance upon an
0:07
abandoned submarine. You would not be
0:09
able to believe the stories about these
0:11
vehicles that we are about to tell you.
0:13
The creation of these machines is
0:15
practically a miracle in itself. Soviet
0:18
naval base. Simushier Island is part of
0:20
an island chain created by volcanic
0:22
activity and lies around 250 mi away
0:25
from the coast of Japan. If you take a
0:27
glance at it, no one would ever think
0:29
that this deserted island is full of
0:32
rusted ruins that makes it look a lot
0:34
like a villain's lair. It was not always
0:37
like this, as the Soviet Union used its
0:39
northern part as a secret base for their
0:42
submarines. After they blasted a channel
0:44
through it and into Brutona Bay during
0:47
the late '7s, they built a whole town
0:49
around this base, which was the place of
0:51
residence of 3,000 people at its peak.
0:54
There were three docks for submarines
0:56
and one of these remains intact to this
0:58
day. The vessels were used to plant
1:00
explosives and mines in northern Japan.
1:03
The base also functioned as a radar
1:05
situation at some point. Nowadays, the
1:08
only traces of the military location
1:10
would be the murals, signs, maps, and
1:13
submarines. German submarine U 352.
1:17
The German submarine U352
1:21
is also known as a type E8C Yubot. It
1:24
began its military career back in 1942
1:27
under the Wolfpack as part of the Marine
1:29
in the Battle of the Atlantic. It later
1:31
made it to North Carolina where it
1:33
attempted to down the SS Frerieden to no
1:35
avail. It ran out of luck on the 7th of
1:38
April 1,942
1:41
when it fired at a US Coast Guard cutter
1:44
after confusing it for a merchant ship.
1:47
The submarine did not have a chance and
1:49
ended up singing to the depths of the
1:50
ocean after it was fired at. The spot of
1:53
the submarine wreck is still a popular
1:55
scuba diving spot thanks to the
1:57
artificial reef and colorful fish. Hara
2:00
Submarine Base. For four decades, this
2:03
site was a bustling military hub for the
2:05
Soviet Union. Since then, the Hara
2:08
Submarine Base has been abandoned and
2:11
vandalized. You will find rusted metal
2:13
structures and an old lighthouse that
2:15
have been victimized by external forces
2:18
and darker times. It was built by the
2:20
Russian military during the 60s and
2:22
served as a base of operations for the
2:25
Soviet occupation of Estonia, which
2:27
lasted until 1991. You would never think
2:30
that it used to house hundreds of
2:32
military personnel if you were to look
2:34
at this place now. The base was made
2:37
using stones from villages in the area.
2:39
It got the attention of the world and
2:41
forced the Soviets to leave after the
2:44
collapse of the USSR. The USS Ling. The
2:47
USS Ling was a high-speed submarine that
2:50
was commissioned in 1945 under the
2:52
orders of George Garvey Malumpy. It was
2:55
created to fight German yubot in the
2:57
Second World War. Although it did not
3:00
ever fight in any battle, in 1946 it was
3:04
taken from the Naval Submarine Base New
3:06
London to the Panama Canal Zone. The
3:08
following year, it was decommissioned
3:10
and then given to the Atlantic Reserve
3:12
Fleet. The USS Ling was repurposed as a
3:15
training ship and brought to the
3:17
Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York, where it
3:19
was then recategorized as an auxiliary
3:22
submarine. The 2,500 ton submarine can
3:25
now be found at the New Jersey Naval
3:27
Museum in Hackinack, New Jersey,
3:30
although it is not accessible to the
3:31
public. Despite the interest in
3:33
restoring it, there was no funding to do
3:35
this. In 2012, the sub was damaged
3:38
during Hurricane Sandy. The SFRY
3:41
submarine tunnels. What used to be
3:44
called Yugoslavia is the site of
3:46
abandoned and eerie submarine tunnels
3:49
constructed along the Adriatic Sea. The
3:51
tunnels in modern-day Croatia made up a
3:54
strategic military location for the
3:56
people fighting for the independence of
3:58
the island of Vis during the German
4:00
occupation in the Second World War. The
4:02
tunnels were the first modern military
4:05
tunnels built into the Viss hillsides.
4:07
The island was shrouded in mystery for
4:09
years since it particularly the
4:11
underground tunnel network used to be
4:13
the base of the Yugoslavian army when
4:15
the communism sentiment was still
4:17
strong. The bunkers were carved deep
4:20
into the mountains and provided vital
4:22
military support until they were
4:24
abandoned during the collapse of
4:25
Yugoslavia in the '90s. It is still a
4:28
tourist hot spot that thousands of
4:30
people visit. The Isisle of May
4:32
disaster. The Battle of May Island has
4:34
become known as one of the worst
4:36
military disasters in history. It was so
4:39
embarrassing that they did not let the
4:41
public know about it until the passing
4:43
of everyone involved. You might have
4:45
heard of it before, but are you aware
4:47
that there were no enemy vessels
4:48
involved? All that was there were a
4:50
battle cruiser ship as well as three
4:53
submarines. On the 13th of January,
4:56
1,918,
4:58
these British Royal Navy Kclass
5:01
submarines collided in the middle of the
5:03
night after they changed direction all
5:05
of a sudden while making their way to
5:07
Scapalflow, Scotland. They changed
5:09
directions after they noticed they were
5:11
about to go toward mine sweepers, but
5:12
collided with the other ships in the
5:14
process. It was disastrous as the two
5:16
submarines sank. All the crew members on
5:19
the K4 died and 51 of 59 members of the
5:23
K17 crew got killed. The submarines now
5:26
lie 100 m away from each other and 50 m
5:30
deep. Sesan Island. Sesan is a small
5:33
island off the Albanian coast and once
5:36
the home of Soviet whiskey class
5:37
submarines, it has since been abandoned
5:40
from the obsolete vessels to the
5:41
networks of tunnels running underneath
5:43
it. The Soviets operated their
5:45
biological and chemical weapon plants
5:47
there. Although Albania later seized the
5:49
base after leaving the Warsaw Pact in
5:52
1968, it increased their navy by a
5:54
significant amount. Of course, when the
5:56
'90s rolled in, the subs were already
5:59
outdated, so they were neglected and
6:01
then abandoned together with the base.
6:04
All you will find there now is a barren
6:06
base against a wonderful landscape. As a
6:08
surprise to no one, there are plans to
6:11
convert it into a tourist destination in
6:13
the future. U475
6:16
Black Widow or Foxtrot B39. This massive
6:20
attack submarined used to be a Soviet
6:22
Navy vessel back in the Cold War. It was
6:25
used to train Cuban, Indian, and Libyan
6:28
submariners. Commissioned in 1967, the
6:31
vessel was categorized under the Soviet
6:33
project 641 class subs, although it was
6:37
known as Foxtrot to the Western forces.
6:40
When it got decommissioned in 1994, it
6:43
went to private individuals and then to
6:45
a public museum ship in England. 4 years
6:48
after that, it was put on display in
6:50
Folkstone. It now lies waiting for
6:52
restoration along the river Medway in
6:54
Strude, England. Foxtrot or Zulu VClass
6:58
B80. Who would have thought that a Navy
7:00
attack submarine could be repurposed
7:03
into a party ship or vessel? At any
7:05
rate, that was the fate of the Soviet
7:07
Zulu Vclass B80 sub, which was a vessel
7:11
under the Soviet project 611. This meant
7:14
that it was part of a series of postwar
7:16
attack vessels. The submarine was
7:18
renamed Foxtrot and moved to the
7:20
maritime quarter in Amsterdam North. It
7:23
is currently in the middle of the harbor
7:25
since submarine enthusiasts want to take
7:27
it to the Netherlands. It was initially
7:29
used as a museum ship in Dan Helder. The
7:32
submarine interior was stripped of
7:33
instruments so that partygoers can do
7:35
whatever they want inside the craft.
7:38
Balaclava, Ukraine. The Ukrainian town
7:41
of Balaclava is so picturesque that you
7:44
would likely never have guessed that
7:46
cold, eerie, and long tunnels exist
7:48
inside the mountain. This was part of
7:50
the Soviet project to create a secret
7:53
submarine base with a dry dock and water
7:55
channel. It used to be called object 825
7:59
GTS and was built in the ' 50s so the
8:01
submarines could come up without being
8:03
spotted. The tunnel network came with a
8:05
nuclear shelter that would protect the
8:07
nearby town in case of a nuclear attack.
8:10
There was also a weapon storage facility
8:12
there. In 1996,
8:14
it was abandoned and then repurposed
8:17
into the Cold War Naval Museum.
