There are at least 471 submarines in the world, many of them lurking in the world’s oceans right now. We mapped them all.

very polite of all the countries to line up their submarines for this video
-
As a romanian, I can say that we have a submarine too. It wasn't used for the past years, currently undergoin repairs, but I think it still counts as one submarine.
-
South Korea: has the sixth biggest submarine fleet in the world Also South Korea: their submarine fleet is the smallest in its neighborhood
-
The country with the largest number of Subway restaurants per million people worldwide in 2014 was Canada. I don’t know if this is relevant, since we’re talking about submarines.
-
It's crazy how a small country like Singapore has 8 subs
-
High quality content and decently short waiting times? Am I dreaming?
-
You missed the 4 British Vanguard subs that carry nuclear warheads as a deterrent. French have something similar as well.
-
6:52 just little inaccurate india already inducted k4 missile way back in 2020 with the range of 4000km & currently working on k5 with the range between 5000-6000km Don't you think 750km is a joke maybe it happens by mistake please correct it We all love you and support your work
-
Its always a good day when johnny harris uploads
-
How did some sandwiches become called “submarines?”
-
All of these submarines are impressive, but can they win against the Kingdom of Atlantis?
-
South Africa’s submarines aren’t ‘anywhere’. They’re permanently broken and docked at Simon’s town
-
one of your more statistical videos
-
Some people like to rearrange their furniture, clean their Legos, or just read a book. Johnny likes to rank submarines 😂 my kinda guy
-
The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. - by Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
-
Just remember two things. 1/3 of all navy vessels are in dock for maintenance at any one time. 1/3 are transiting to or from a station, so only 1/3 are patrolling at any one time. The second thing is…the oceans are really big.
-
Missed out a key detail on nuclear subs: Both Brazil and Australia have nuclear submarine programs going on right now, so in the next decade or so they’ll both join the club - Brazil sponsored by France and Australia sponsored by the US.
-
China's dominance in the south china sea needs more media attention imo
-
hypothetically speaking you even dont need any other nuclear weapon except the ones within the submarines. They are by far the most dangerous ones which are almost impossible to track.
