Sub Brief Live! Hits the Road

February is here and we are getting ready for some travel. No worries, we’ve prepared for this and are going to produce Sub Brief Live! on the road.  This month I plan on doing two Sub Brief Live! Episodes. If I visit anything interesting, I’ll post some travel photos.

If this works, I will integrate naval museum visits into the Patron posts in the future.

January 2022 Wardroom Members

I am extremely happy and shocked that after I announced I would be take a few weeks off this year and making changes to the Sub Brief Live! format, we saw a gain in Patreon members.  Thank you for not unsubscribing because I need some away time.  I really believe that some  time to 'reset' and rest will make future Sub Briefs better.

Kuznetsov-class Ship Brief

The design, construction and operation of the Soviet Union's Heavy Aircraft Carrying Cruiser.

Time 3:53 slide should not have Dalian Shipyard just Black Sea Shipyard.  This is an edit that did not save properly in the video, so you are seeing an unedited slide. Sorry for the confusion.

Kuznetsov Project slide correction

The Kuznetsov Ship Brief has an error in the Project slide. There are two shipyards listed as construction which is accurate and confusing (watch to find out why).  Here is an updated slide for the construction of Hull 1.

Sorry for the confusion.

Sub Brief Discord

Just a reminder to Chief Tier and above, to join the Sub Brief Discord. We are very active and having great discussions about all things.

See you in the Discord Chat!

Discord Server is LIVE!

The discord chat server is live now.  I plan on taking it public next year, but Chief Petty Officer Patreons have early access to it AND exclusive access to the Patreon-only Podcast text channel.  

If Patreon does not automatically add you to Discord, make sure you are logged into the Discord app and manually re-subscribe in December.  This will trigger Patreon to re-invite you.  

If that doesn't work, you will have to make a new Patreon account and re-subscrib...
