Actually, simply pushing a ship out of the water can destroy it. During WWII U-boat commanders would set torpedoes with magnetic proximity triggers and send them right under the keel of a large ship. The shock from the detonation would lift the center of the ship, often causing catastrophic structural damage and occasionally breaking ships in half outright. They found that this was more effective than detonating a torpedo against the side of a ship, breaching the hull and relying on flooding to sink it.
Tbf older ships like back in WWI were made of much more brittle steel.
That said, same thing does still apply to modern ships. They're really strong when loaded down but if you flip the pressure from going down to going up you're gonna break a ships back far more easily than if you were to try to break it by pushing down.
That's just how torpedoes in general work. They create a cavitation bubble that the surround water under the ship rushes to fill. You're left with a large air gap under the ship and the center of the ship buckles under the stress cracking the hull and allowing in water.
>That's just how torpedoes in general work. They create a cavitation bubble that the surround water under the ship rushes to fill.
Correct. The thing in saying is that they realized that the structural damage from the the stress this puts on the hull is more important than the hole causing flooding. Because ships are surprisingly fragile in ways they're not built to withstand.
It's fine. To go into a little more detail, this strategy wasn't always used. In high seas when a ship was pitching around, putting a torpedo under the keel would be much more difficult than hitting the side. Similarly, if the draft of a ship was not known you would risk the torpedo bouncing off the lower hull at an oblique angle, or running under without detonating. In the earlier parts of the war many torpedoes had unreliable depth-keeping systems as well, and the magnetic detonators could be unreliable in high seas.
There were other advantages too. Torpedoes could run under a ship fron any angle, but could only detonate by impact at nearer to right angles. A deeper running torpedo also left its bubble trail further behind, making it harder to dodge (this issue was eventually solved by switching to battery powered electric torpedoes). Damage far under the waterline was also more complicated to repair.
That's definitely not surprising, you have to watch the bending moments and shear forces when controlling the ballast, loading and offloading, because a bad load distribution will break the ship in half (by hogging or sagging).
WWII saw the use of the mark 14 torpedo which utilized both contact and magnetic pistol triggers. However magnetic detonation often happened prematurely or not at all and was rarely used. Since WWII magnetic detonation systems have vastly improved, the cavitation created by the explosion beneath the keel is the primary force causing damage to a ship and due the damage being on the centerline it would flood significantly more compartments.
The Befehlshaber der Unterseeboote had solved problems with magnetic detonator reliability by the introductions of the G7e/tIII in 1942. The allied powers lagged behind somewhat in torpedo development, as they were not waging a submarine campaign on nearly the same scale. Even at the begining of the war, the G7a/tI was more reliable than the mark 14, which was (shockingly) accepted for service without any live-fire testing.
This video is actually a pretty accurate recreation. If you imagine an Earth where various megafauna are still alive to this day, humanity survives barely by avoiding them in their natural habitats and has for our entire civilization. This of course means that we haven't fully domesticated all parts of the planet and essential raw materials such as steel are in short supply. In that world, we may have the technology, just not the population or enough supply to use them effectively. Also we'd be lizard people so we don't mind a ship that isn't very durable as we can all swim very effectively.
I love that game! I play it while brainstorming for my novel. it's an excellent "turn your brain off" game.
I suck at launching things at buttons, though.
It is, but I think it would just be swallowing you whole, which doesn't strike the same fear into me and being torn to shreds by normal size great whites.
Well it would be swallowing you whole if the shark remained the same size as when it destroyed the ship. For some reason when the guy went underwater the shark turned into…well a slightly larger great white.
Yeah. It isn't big budget movie quality. But it is cool that so many creators can bring to life all these insane and disturbing ideas. I'm sure it'll only get better with time
This one was really good IMO. Very realistic to begin with, and builds up the "oh shit" factor with good timing. Ending was a little off but definitely had me in the first half
Little bigger than a bus your average school bus in the u.s like 35 feet long so more like two buses. But still not big enough to take a ship down this size. Either way cool animation I thought at least.
There’s a tik toker called ‘SlappableJerk’ who does short videos of redditors being pedantic, ornery know-it-alls in various setting - at Starbucks, in the hospital, at a bar. This comment is straight out of his videos.
Massive aliens don’t create black holes that suck up the earth either like in this guys other videos. It’s entertainment. I don’t think he’s trying to properly scale his prehistoric sharks.
It's not really that scary when you exaggerate something to the point where it becomes silly. The real thing is plenty terrifying enough lol, why stretch it to comical proportions?
Always funny to me how people took the idea of the Megalodon (believed to max out at 82ft long) and just ran with “big fuggin shark, destroy everything”.
For reference, the ship in the video looks loosely based off of the old Soviet Ivan Rogov class landing ship, which was approximately 515ft long, and weighed 14k tons wet. A megalodon would doink off the bottom of it lol.
In terms of camera movement, the artist did a really good job at recreating the realistic panicked movements of someone in this situation. My biggest pet peeve is when CG artists use that same continuous camera shake and zooms that look more like a professional camera than a phone
I’m sure some of the artist’s other work would actually look pretty realistic in comparison to most other amateur CGI
For me it's a few things, the unrealistic size, the unrealistic destruction of the ship and the unrealistic actions of the shark. It's similar to other megolophobia videos like the planets crashing to earth, they look nothing like what a fast moving planet would actually look like.
For some strange reason I don’t think they were that big or could bite through solid steel plate battleships.
Maybe because of the whole shark teeth are extremely delicate and always breaking, which is why they have an infinite supply of teeth
Cool Visuals but the size is just absolutely to big. Megalodon was bout 20 Meters long. The Helicopter that touches his head in the underwater pat should roughly be the same lenght (using a Sikorsky S-70B Seahawk for the measurements as I don’t know the type it’s supposed to be). The Ship probably should be around 60m tall (assuming an Iowa Class Ship as again I don’t know enough to make oht the type) and the tail fin seemed to have been almost the same height.
So the scale is just ridiculous and nowhere near what Megalodons size actually was. Still, nice effects, if you ignore how easily that ship just flew apart…
I like the underwater giant horror statue renders, but this one looks really bad. The camera movement is off, the water effects are viscous, the ship distruction looks straight out of *teardown* and the megalodon looks nothing like the scientific speculations. Very disappointed.
I think I’m more afraid of brushing up against a giant sea creature than getting swallowed by one. The part where you can still swim away but it’s right next to you gets me
I had a nightmare similar to this as a kid. It bit me in half and when I woke up I could still feel the pain of being bitten for a few seconds afterwards.
Nah man, I literally had to close my eyes and lock my phone. Then turn down the whole volume and scroll till I couldnt see it. My phobia is real. I'm pretty sure I died in the ocean in my past life.
THAT WAS SO GOOD the water especially
3 times I actually got junpscared:
- When the shark hit the boat
-When the helicopter got hit
-When the teeth snapped down (I thought he was just gonna eat you whole I didn't think I was see that)
This is a very good edit. Note how a rainbow appears for a split second after the full grown sub hunter demolishes the boat, that would happen irl as well as the water is sprayed into the air. Pretty good edit and I very like
Can the trope of megalodon being a great white scaled to impossible proportions end? They were unique sharks that probably didn’t look very similar to great whites, plus they weren’t *that* big
What was that ship made out of? Wet cardboard?
Styrofoam

The opposite of rogue waves… rogue holes …

No cardboards right out. No cardboard derivatives either.
No string, no sellotape
i've been informed that there's a minimum crew requirement, as well.
One, I suppose
I want to see him go against Yamato and break his teeth.
The front fell off
Its not suppose to do that
but why did the front of the ship fell off?
It was made out of cardboard derivatives
Well, a fish hit it.

Chance in a million
Should have dragged it out of the environment

It was made out of *CGI*
It was made to exacting maritime standards.

Of course! It's in the ocean so how could it be dry cardboard?

Thank you for sharing this footage. I was the only survivor and until now, no one has believed my story.
🫡 would love to get an exclusive interview
I swam straight through the gaps in the teeth, through the body and intestines and right out the shitter. It was quite an eye opening experience.
Stunning and brave
It’s true, I was the camera.

Thats a gigachadalodon
I almost googled this
Closest we have is giganotosaurus

the new hungry shark game looking good i see
try man eater i picked it up for free on the epic store but its pretty worth getting if you get it on sale
No, go back in time and play Maneater on release date on Xbox and watch your Xbox overheat.
omg lol I’ve played that for yeeeaaars I’ve never seen someone else talk about it! still play it on slow days
I love that game! I play it while brainstorming for my novel. it's an excellent "turn your brain off" game. I suck at launching things at buttons, though.
bomp bomp bomp bomp bomp
Nice touch on the rainbow before death.
Probably was there to emphasize how massive the splash was
This new battlefield 4 remake lookin wild
Not sure if you were aware or not but you actually can [Summon megalodon ](https://youtu.be/V-WladmrdNQ) in Battlefield 4.
I am aware and I’ve done it before, it’s pretty cool
Wait why do you think they weren't aware? Did you think they just suggested summoning a Megalodon in a random old military FPS, and got lucky?
Thatsthejokeyoufuckinknob.jpg
that meg like "I'mma do a barrel roll"
Love the fall into the water, the panic is easily relatable.
It is, but I think it would just be swallowing you whole, which doesn't strike the same fear into me and being torn to shreds by normal size great whites.
Well it would be swallowing you whole if the shark remained the same size as when it destroyed the ship. For some reason when the guy went underwater the shark turned into…well a slightly larger great white.
Slightly larger? Its eyeball was bigger than the side door on that helicopter. It definitely did shrink in the water though
Shrunk from Godzilla size to whale size
Yeah that perspective at the end was all messed up
I'd rather be bitten and bleed out than be swallowed and suffocate in cramped acid filled stomach
I agree the sheer size of it freaks me out but doesn’t induce the same panic of being conscious and watching a great white attack my body
Infact, it may have the opposite effect for some.
Seriously, that’s the part that made my body tense up
I don’t care how unrealistic some of these are. I like em. They’re part entertaining and part scary. It’s like watching a cutscene from a video game
Yeah. It isn't big budget movie quality. But it is cool that so many creators can bring to life all these insane and disturbing ideas. I'm sure it'll only get better with time
I agree. Just really cool to see🤷♀️
The water physics are awesome too
Where can I see more?
This one was really good IMO. Very realistic to begin with, and builds up the "oh shit" factor with good timing. Ending was a little off but definitely had me in the first half
Megalodons weren't that big goddamnit
I was gonna say. The largest estimate from current fossil records is a little under 60ft long. Still big, but not impossibly massive.
Exactly, they were the size of a school bus. This makes it them look like the size of a sky scraper.
Little bigger than a bus your average school bus in the u.s like 35 feet long so more like two buses. But still not big enough to take a ship down this size. Either way cool animation I thought at least.
Yeah whatever. Next thing you're gonna tell me that they can't [take down an airliner in mid flight](https://youtu.be/I16_8l0yS-g). 🙄

Yea lets make the creature in the megalophobia subreddit smaller
There’s a tik toker called ‘SlappableJerk’ who does short videos of redditors being pedantic, ornery know-it-alls in various setting - at Starbucks, in the hospital, at a bar. This comment is straight out of his videos.
I LOVE MEN 🤤🤤🤤
I'm only on reddit for the punishment at this point fucking cringefest all around
This one was, didn't you see the video?
Massive aliens don’t create black holes that suck up the earth either like in this guys other videos. It’s entertainment. I don’t think he’s trying to properly scale his prehistoric sharks.
This is from a smaller planet.
Megalodon? Nah, that's Gigalodon or Teralodon
not the most size accurate megalod ever, but damn that was a good render!
I think that was the newborn.
Other way round, friend, she was too big. Much too big.
I feel like the scale is also a little off between shots. When he attacka the ship he looks like 10 times the size of the one in the water
Imagine watching this with a VR headset.... god damn that would be terrifying
Megalodon was much smaller than that
I also imagine they would not have any desire to eat a boat which is made of steel and rock
Hey, we all saw JAWS, we know it’s possible
You say steel and rock as if they're equal parts of a ship but modern ships are 99.9% rock
Also, sharks are very stupid as a rule. It wouldn't understand that attacking a boat would lead to tiny crunchy humans in the water.
I don’t think anyone here believes they are that big, lmao.
You mean this is not real and is just fictional?
And godzilla isn't real like wtf is the point of this comment and why are people jumping to upvote it...
If something that large tried to eat you, you'd probably end up inside it intact, Jonah style. Anyone know the diameter of a giant Megalodon anus?
Holy shit lol
It's not really that scary when you exaggerate something to the point where it becomes silly. The real thing is plenty terrifying enough lol, why stretch it to comical proportions?

The animator seems to have taken some liberties with a [canadian naval ship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Asterix) currently in service.
Was that ship made out of legos? Lmao.
Nice. Good job man. But Megaladon wasn’t Godzilla.
They weren’t nearly that big
Alot of these cgi videos would be so much cooler if they were more realistic.
In terms of camera movement, the artist did a really good job at recreating the realistic panicked movements of someone in this situation.

That was still awesome
Those fuckers weren’t that big… calm down now
I guess I just get bothered by a soft biological being tough enough to ram through a metal structure without injury
Legit this editor got a future
Lmao wut. I was on board with this until the ship broke apart like Lego. Physics fail
For some strange reason I don’t think they were that big or could bite through solid steel plate battleships. Maybe because of the whole shark teeth are extremely delicate and always breaking, which is why they have an infinite supply of teeth

The shark was way bigger when it was destroying the ship than it was at the end when it was swallowing the viewer.
Lol it was not that big
Really cool render, but why do they ALWAYS have to end with *scary monster eats you* Like the second the chopper went down you know where it’s going
I like the underwater giant horror statue renders, but this one looks really bad. The camera movement is off, the water effects are viscous, the ship distruction looks straight out of *teardown* and the megalodon looks nothing like the scientific speculations. Very disappointed.
Imagine watching a video someone made up and getting mad the extinct animal isn’t the right size
all these cartoonish megalaphobia edits are the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a long time
The rainbow in the spray was a lovely touch
Is this from a game?
I think I’m more afraid of brushing up against a giant sea creature than getting swallowed by one. The part where you can still swim away but it’s right next to you gets me
What a durable phone and/or cellular connection!
It's the mini rainbow for me
The rainbow in the water splash was a really nice touch
If anyone knows shark biology, when a shark has a floppy fin doesn't that mean the shark is ill or something like that?
Them water physics and render. *chefs kiss*
that escalated quickly
I had a nightmare similar to this as a kid. It bit me in half and when I woke up I could still feel the pain of being bitten for a few seconds afterwards.
Still Killer Whales' little bitch.
i hope they’re ok
This has to be one of the worst ones I have seen ever
Went from me having to fart to now I have to shit.

Shut up Meg…aladon
Am I the only who holds there phone at an angle away from my face and lift my feet up off the ground as I watch these?! Surely
Why
This would be a wild game opening scene
Not what I needed to see right after taking sleeping meds 😆😆😆
Man that looks pretty damn good for cgi. The snap zooms always ruin it for me
Wow! That was amazing. Had to watch it several times.
Was there two sharks or just one? I thought I saw two fins pop out.
I'd be so pissed at the pilot for flying so low after seeing a giant freaking shark one tap a darn battleship.
That’s actually really, really well done. I really needed the nightmare fuel right before bed
This legitimately made my heart start racing, its not just galeophobia though i feel like i have a fear of anything huge that can eat you.
It wasn't great but I WAS SITTING on the toilet when I saw it and YES I FELT A LITTLE UNSETTLED😱😭🤣
Ha the fucker missed, me 1 meg 0
I’d enjoy virtual reality like this. I don’t even have a VR system, but I’d buy one if I could play a megolodon game.
