This is the kind of production I want to see on television. A perfectly crafted documentary, from authentic footage and experiments to animations. Incredibly fascinating. I enjoyed every minute of it.
These are old TV shows ☺️ I remember swing Big Bigger Biggest on TV 20 years ago or more, on Discovery Channel or National Geographic can't remember which channel
The OceanGate has truly ignited the urge to learn about submersibles and the titanic like a crazy person. So bizarre yet powerful, poetic tragedy. This submarine is just so amazing!!!
I don’t think they oceangate imploded, if they found ash and no bodies, it was hit with a missile. Just from what I’ve gathered about submarines, submersibles, implosions and explosions. Anything unidentified traveling at those depths would be “blown away”
Ive always been curious about this, what was your guys food like? In boot, we had a recruit who complained about the food and one of our Di's chewed him out and said something like "If you wanted good food you should have joined the Airforce or tried for the subs, in my Corps you eat what you get and you learn to love it!" On that day I also learnt that the heating packs for food were supposedly for officers, LOL . Which of course was not true, but became the norm much later when we would field strip our MRES to cut weight.
I had the good fortune to be sail boating off Maui when a Los Angeles class submarine surfaced in the waterway between Maui and Lanai. It cruised past me majestically, and then another surfaced and cruised near the first submarine. A few submariners were on deck of both submarines. I lost site of them when I rounded Polihua Beech to continue my day sail. But it was a highlight of my 5 years on Maui. All my nearly 6 decades living near Bremerton, never saw one. Go live on Maui for a few years and see 2 at the same time. Fricking awesome!
As a crew member on the USS Growler, SSG-577, we served up to 3 months per mission. This was a diesel electric (batteries) boat where air, water and food were all at a premium. Like the "leap 5" boats in this excellent video we had to surface to launch our strategic Regulus missile AND guide them to their designated targets with radar. Upon release of the Polaris boats information we were green with envy, where they had gold and blue crews who swapped every other period at sea we we had black and blue crews (no swapping). Brings back fond memories.
Don’t know if I feel safe or terrified after learning all that. Kudos to the S”quids” of these incredible machines for their service. Makes my Icebreaker time in the 60’s seem like a canoe ride by comparison!!
Submarines are fascinating to me. So much power, responsibility, and advanced stealth capabilities in a tube that can hold over 100 men and go so deep its almost unfathomable in my eyes. Imagine no windows, no sunshine, and no loved ones for 6 months at a time.
I'm a former Submariner, so, I am biased; but almost every aspect of operating a Submarine is fascinating. The parallels of Submarining to space survivability are interesting as well, but I've seen few people talk about that.
I'm not sure when this documentary was written, but propellers (propulsion units) have come a long way since this tech. Fully shrouded water pumps are used now, with a turbine designed to minimise localised water pressure drops (which lead to cavitation). It's all very advanced now.
I remember watching this when I was 8 or 9, completely awestruck of the engineering and the power of this submarine. This show sparked my imagination of what could be built and the boundaries that could be pushed. Amazing show
Just name the Turtles Operator. Give him some credit at least. His name was "Ezra Lee". Even George Washington congratulated him for his attempt. He lived for many years after his journey and was buried in 1821 at Duck River Cemetery in Old Lyme Connecticut.
The more I realize how dedicated and amazing Americans were back then. They created all this from scratch, making breakthroughs in invention and technology each time.
I used to work on the periscopes on the Los Angeles class subs. I thought these boats were big, until I got to see an Ohio class “boomer”. Now these are big boats. That was back in the 70’s and 80’s. When I retired in 92 the newer scopes didn’t even penetrate the “people tank”. These were inside the sail. They had cameras instead of actually seeing the light coming throughout the tube section to an eyepiece. You just looked at screens. Pretty neat. I got to see into the reactor once, now that topped everything. The only thing they would run out of underwater was food. Submariners are very unique people, it not just for anybody. I almost went that route. All are volunteers. Highly intelligent to start with, and they do years or training.
I almost went into the Navy out of high-school but backed down before signing the papers. The thought of being next to nukes in a metal tube under water was too much for me. I can't even swim! 🤣🤣 Don't get me wrong, I'm fascinated by these machines and how awesome they are. I missed a great opportunity now that I see how safe they are
@@krashd I would love to have seen a typhoon! But today, many are just radioactive hulks. I wonder if any are still in service! Even back in the day, I don’t think they would have let me onboard. I wasn’t important enough to get an invitation!!
Submariner here as well…USS Florida (G)…it was great seeing the Pennsylvania and her crew here! Very good video explaining the technology of the ship at a high level.
What a great trip thru history ❤️ When I first started the video and I saw 46 minutes, i was not sure i’m gonna make it to the end, but actually i’m sad it finished so fast. Great documentary!
My hat is off to anyone who can endure 75 days at sea, and, underwater. I like my wide open space and sky. Congrats to the men and women who who do this, you are the heroes of the sea.
From a turtle developed into a highly sophisticated underwater war machine that not only can bring enormous destruction to enemy naval fleet but also to our earth in a timely manner.
All these sophisticated war machines are to kill people(ourselves), not, lions, not rattle snakes, jaguars? So we can easily wipe ourselves out of existence. if USA, Russia, China have these arsenals and decided to go to a full scale war, it means the earth will be depopulated in days. What is the use? How stupid?
When I was on SSBN-743 (USS Louisiana, she's 8 year's newer than the Pennsylvania) for 6 years, I always imagined myself on a space ship/star trek made the work day tolerable and sometimes fun lol. I was glad to move on to Aviation side of the Navy though NGL haha
My son a "nuke" on a fast attack submarine. The engineers on board are incredible and face a huge myriad of challenges everyday and every hour. WE SALUTE YOU!
I truly enjoyed this. Every minute. The way this video was crafted from going back in time, I had no idea there was a submarine in the 1700s. Everything about it was just awesome. Thank you
Yes all pretty accurate... but their claim that "rocket engines need air to burn" was completely wrong. They have their own oxidizers inside the missile. The problem is it's difficult to burn under water because of the cooling effect.
@@crocodile2006 sometimes it is "hard" to watch good documentary about a theme you master because you know everything and there is always a few things wrong in every documentary 😁 i feel you
Submarines, (and undersea combat) is the closest we’ve gotten here on earth to space combat. Unlike on land, in the deep ocean and in space, the enemy can come from literally any direction.
@@andrewsocial9309 in air combat, and with modern sensors and visual scanners, for the most part you can see your enemy coming from miles away. In the deep ocean or space, it’s pretty much impossible to see your enemies location with the naked eye.
You aren't blind at all. You just have a different way of seeing, primarily via sonar. You build a literal map of what is around you. And when your boat is quieter, and your sonar more sensitive, and your stack operators better trained with much more experience than the bad guys, the idea of combat isn't scary at all. A real world combat scenario between a US and a Russian sub would go something like this: US sub CO: Is the target solution still up to date? US: Aye aye. Per standing orders we've been in their baffles since they left port. US sub CO: We've just received orders to engage. Flood tubes 1 and 3 and fire when ready. Helm 20 degrees down and hard right rudder on my command. Russian sub sonar operator: Captain, we have a contact directly aft. It's Death.
Correction, they didn't sink 33 ships but 5,000 ships. The German navy used the Unterseeboot, or U-boat, to sink 5,000 ships measuring more than 13 million gross register tons during the war.
But close to 80 percent never came back. 785 were lost BTW. Only 52 US Subs were lost and still on eternal patrol during WW2. That is quite the difference. Considering US Submarines destroyed 55% of all Axis Warships. Even with bad torpedoes up until 1943. God Bless Submariners.
DEI Structural Engineering brother, I bet they let some UNQUALIFIED person who barely passed their Calculus 3 and Linear Algebra class build the sub that kill those REAL American and patriotic young men. It’s very sad brother 🇺🇸
The documentary's narrator says that "a rocket needs air to burn". Incorrect! Rocket motors carry their own oxidizer, completely independent for ignition and burning from the atmosphere. That's obvious from the fact that they can operate in space where there is no air. Whoever wrote this script was clueless!
I always thought it didn't make sense he couldn't drill through the copper bottom. Although it could have been a harder alloy, I suspect weakness from oxygen deprivation was more the likely culprit. I'm glad this analysis addresses it more fully.
Remember though, he is limited in how much upward force he can generate by the buoyancy of the submarine. As he tries to seat the drill, the drill is also pushing the sub down. Add in natural currents in the water moving him up, down and sideways, and it must have been very frustrating.
@@dmrr7739 Don't forget, he'd have been trying to drill into a sloped surface. That's a nightmare even with a drill press, let alone with all the other issues you're mentioning.
He's using a drill designed to penetrate wood, as that was the expected material - not too surprising since all vessels at that time were of wooden construction. Copper is quite soft as metals go, but a lot more resilient than wood. So you're not going to get through copper plating with a wood drill.
Just the fact that the bit will be sliding around the surface of the metal while he tries to get it started is enough of an issue. Have you done any drilling of holes above water? Under water any work becomes ridiculously complicated.
My uncle was an officer on the first nuclear submarine in the Soviet Union. They completed the first ever around the world tour without surfacing the sub. Pretty cool stuff.
@tarastikhomirov6609 Is this another "it was invented in Russia" communist fabrication? USS TRITON did the first submerged circumnavigation of the Earth, not the Soviets. I'm not saying you're wrong, but are there more details to this story that would clarify what appear to be a conflict with actual history?
Chapter timestamp/footnote for "32:08 Nuclear Strike - USS George Washington "mentions CVN-73 (CV = Carrier Vessel/Aircraft Carrier, N = Nuclear Propulsion); I think you meant to put the hull designation of the similarly-named submarine instead. The one you're mentioning is SSBN-598 (SS = Submarine/Submersible Ship, B = Ballistic Missile, N = Nuclear Propulsion). I love the video! I used to serve on the same class of submarine featured in this video (SSBN-738 / USS Maryland).
@@Nevir202 two complete crews who take turns. Boat docks to resupply and she gets a fresh crew as one team leaves and the other boards. No significance to either color; blue and gold are the navy’s colors so those are the two they picked.
There's a cracking BBC crime drama miniseries set on a submarine called 'Vigil'. It does a pretty good job of conveying the tension that's inherent within life upon a submarine (as well as the excellent writing/acting of course lol)
Understanding of swimming pool engineering on simple levels. And then also having an excellent internal gyroscope and becoming part of the machine that you're driving.. could you imagine if that just came naturally.
The USS George Washington SSBN598 was originally designed as a Fast Attack submarine in the Thresher/Permit class. Before it was commissioned, it was cut in half and the missile compartment and systems added.
That's pretty interesting, I didn't know that. I spent a lot of time on the GW when I was in 38A on the Holland. A million years ago it seems. I had my kids later on in my career. They were pretty young when I retired and have no idea what kind of work I used to do. I also was a crane operator on the Alamagordo ARDM-2.
After this video I learned that it is really difficult to live under a submarine,tucked everything in between those strange machines this is so claustrophobic
Very interesting...the 3D illustration was highly superb 👌 and most of my unanswered questions like how missiles are fired under the water was answered correctly..thanks alot
What a way to tell a story with complementing animation about the technology transformation. Thank you! I have enjoyed a lot while watching it. Wish for more informative videos similar to this in technology transformation. Thanks!
I enjoyed watching this video, especially good on submarine history. Yes... The USS Pennsylvania can go 20 years without refueling... But stay submerged only about 3 months before food restocking is needed. Please correct me if this figure is wrong. Now there is a real weakness they talk little about. Instead, they seem to fool around with phrases like "... stay submerged for months at a time". No I do not think so, not more than 3 months at any rate.
As a kid I grew up on the beach near Seattle where the Bremerton ship yard is. They would take submarines out in Puget Sound for testing and I would take my 16' ski boat out to watch them. I would be paralleling the submarine, at a distance, when all of a sudden this large, noisy plume of water would spray up meaning the submarine was getting ready to dive. I would tag along and watch it go under until you would never know anything was there. It was kind of creepy, but cool.
Proud Father of Navy young Men that just arrived in one this Big Boys to Australia, Salute to all the military services in our Country (Mexican/American Proud)🙏🏼
All our submarines are built by General Dynamics Electric Boat in RI ! It takes almost 5000 people mostly welders to create these boats. Best job in the world with the best Teams of CoWorkers along with the Navy’s Inspectors and engineers on site !
After the Type VII U boat, there shouldve been the type XXI that really revolutionaized the entire concept and is the true grandfather of ALL modern submarines. First type U-boat in human history that was from the drawing board designed as meant to be operated 99% underwater rather than as a surface ship, like the earlier U-boats that mostly used to dive for rather short amounts of time, and only to evade destroyers and such... the Type XXI on the other hand, was pretty much designed and built to do everything... while underwater.
Great video! I have actually sat inside the real Hunley in Charleston, SC. We were doing some instrumentation work with the conservatory. It is TIGHT inside, super scary to think of being on the crew turning the crank in the cold, dark underwater.
I live in Charleston. I thought it was still in a tank, to prevent further decay. Never been to the place its located now. I was in Chas when they recovered it out of the mud from the bottom off Sullivan's Island. God Bless Submariners.
The Russians had all kinds of grief with their nuclear submarines while trying nuclear power, like the Kursk and a few others. The crews died a horrible death when the Russians ran into trouble with their nuclear reactors. The Russian sailors had great courage when something went wrong with their ships...
Unbleavable courage, to enter into a nuclear damage reactors knowing that your gonna die a prolong horrible death. I hope their Country remembers them...
The Russians had some problems because they were at the cutting edge of submarine technology and discovering new methods always has problems. The US simply copied what the Russians had already proved to work. This video, although it is very well done, does not tell the truth of the situation, which is that the Russians are far ahead in submarine technology and abilities. And by the way, the biggest sub in the world, by far, is Russian!
KURSK was clearly a weapon explosion at the the fore end - why is not clear --in 1955 in the old diesel RN HMS SIDON there was a torpedo explosion (hydrogen Peroxide) ,that eventually sank the submarine . I don't thinking the Russians have had a reactor problem for many years .
Very interesting. I find submarines fascinating. But I don't think I've got what it takes to be in a crew. Perhaps I've watched too many movies. Being hit by one, after seeing their firepower is no joke. Can't imagine what it must be like to be hit inside one when deep underwater. I guess I would rather be turned into dust on land, than face the sinking and inevitable death in the ocean bed. It better be quick, man. Anyways, very cool documentary. Nice work!
I am NOT IMPRESSED that the captain of a nuclear submarine walks near all that expensive armaments and navigation equipment with a cup of coffee in his hand. EXTREMELY dangerous.
Uncle was a nuclear missle tech instructor, mom was a welding ( metals) inspector at PSNS. Apparently approximately 93 feet was lost off of the Pennsylvania back around 1983 I don't remember the exact dates, (Google 'em) but around '83 all of the USN's "Boomers," (nuclear capable, nuclear powered submarines) went through a retrofit because of the SALT/START treaties. One of the welding inspectors back then told me how they cut the subs in half, removed 12 of the vertical "Trident" nuclear missiles as well as ther their launch tubes, then welded the parts back together again. Off the Pacific coast, a whale couldn't fart all the way to China without us knowing about it. Seriously, the microphones (SOSUS network) can detect ANYTHING! Whenever you see footage in a movie, commercial, news, etc of a big nuclear sub breaking the surface I believe it's usually the USS Ohio. We used to watch them leave and cone back from operations at FT. Casey on Whidbey Is, WA. I'm 56 and gotta say, They are soooo cool!
Hey brother I wouldn't b telling that kind of information I think as former navy man ud know that remember loose lips sink ships I hate way America newsmedia esp expose everything about us u don't c China or Russia or alot of country's doing that 1 agreement Trump sed were not telling our adversaries wat were going to do 1st it's stupid I agree and w th internet nowadays too much info what people don't know know this itcant hurt us that's 1 thng for sure
The Turtle was not the world's first submarine. The dutchman Cornelius Drebbel built a working submarine a hundred years before the Turtle. Drebbel's submarine even had a rudimentary air cleaning system.
The progression from small, tactical subs to massive ballistic missile submarines reflects humanity’s drive to explore, conquer, and secure the oceans. As technology continues to evolve, submarines will remain a critical asset in naval warfare, exploration, and global defense, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible underwater.
Even newer subs in the future will have a circular ring around the propeller and change from mechanical to electric to further reduce supercavitation at high speeds.
This is the kind of production I want to see on television. A perfectly crafted documentary, from authentic footage and experiments to animations. Incredibly fascinating. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Just name the Turtles Operator. Give him some credit at least. His name was "Ezra Lee". Even George Washington congratulated him for his attempt. He lived for many years after his journey and was buried in 1821 at Duck River Cemetery in Old Lyme Connecticut.
The more I realize how dedicated and amazing Americans were back then. They created all this from scratch, making breakthroughs in invention and technology each time.
What about the pyramids or anything else ever ….
I used to work on the periscopes on the Los Angeles class subs. I thought these boats were big, until I got to see an Ohio class “boomer”. Now these are big boats. That was back in the 70’s and 80’s. When I retired in 92 the newer scopes didn’t even penetrate the “people tank”. These were inside the sail. They had cameras instead of actually seeing the light coming throughout the tube section to an eyepiece. You just looked at screens. Pretty neat.
I got to see into the reactor once, now that topped everything. The only thing they would run out of underwater was food. Submariners are very unique people, it not just for anybody. I almost went that route. All are volunteers. Highly intelligent to start with, and they do years or training.
I almost went into the Navy out of high-school but backed down before signing the papers. The thought of being next to nukes in a metal tube under water was too much for me. I can't even swim! 🤣🤣 Don't get me wrong, I'm fascinated by these machines and how awesome they are. I missed a great opportunity now that I see how safe they are
If you think An Ohio-class is big you should see a Typhoon, it has twice the displacement of an Ohio and the size of a WW2 aircraft carrier.
@@krashd I would love to have seen a typhoon! But today, many are just radioactive hulks. I wonder if any are still in service! Even back in the day, I don’t think they would have let me onboard. I wasn’t important enough to get an invitation!!
Submariner here as well…USS Florida (G)…it was great seeing the Pennsylvania and her crew here! Very good video explaining the technology of the ship at a high level.
What a great trip thru history ❤️ When I first started the video and I saw 46 minutes, i was not sure i’m gonna make it to the end, but actually i’m sad it finished so fast. Great documentary!
My exact thought. I initially thought it would take a couple days to watch it through, but I finished it without even pausing.

My hat is off to anyone who can endure 75 days at sea, and, underwater. I like my wide open space and sky. Congrats to the men and women who who do this, you are the heroes of the sea.

@@VirgilTStone Yep, just ask your parents.
I hope one day such devices will be rosted and rotted away and forgotten.
@@tcf70tyrannosapiensbonsai ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All these sophisticated war machines are to kill people(ourselves), not, lions, not rattle snakes, jaguars? So we can easily wipe ourselves out of existence. if USA, Russia, China have these arsenals and decided to go to a full scale war, it means the earth will be depopulated in days. What is the use? How stupid?
When I was on SSBN-743 (USS Louisiana, she's 8 year's newer than the Pennsylvania) for 6 years, I always imagined myself on a space ship/star trek made the work day tolerable and sometimes fun lol. I was glad to move on to Aviation side of the Navy though NGL haha
Among so many documentaries introducing nuclear submarine, this is the best! Especially, the use of CGI is doing its job perfectly.
Superb engineering on single sub hulls for submarines makes them smaller than the double hull design and is more maneuverable with stealth !
My son a "nuke" on a fast attack submarine. The engineers on board are incredible and face a huge myriad of challenges everyday and every hour. WE SALUTE YOU!
For those about to rock
I truly enjoyed this. Every minute. The way this video was crafted from going back in time, I had no idea there was a submarine in the 1700s. Everything about it was just awesome. Thank you
Yes all pretty accurate... but their claim that "rocket engines need air to burn" was completely wrong. They have their own oxidizers inside the missile.
The problem is it's difficult to burn under water because of the cooling effect.

Lies again? Elevate Training Easy Target
Submarines, (and undersea combat) is the closest we’ve gotten here on earth to space combat. Unlike on land, in the deep ocean and in space, the enemy can come from literally any direction.
@@andrewsocial9309 in air combat, and with modern sensors and visual scanners, for the most part you can see your enemy coming from miles away. In the deep ocean or space, it’s pretty much impossible to see your enemies location with the naked eye.
@@GlamorousTitanic21 well i guess space compensates that since someone could be shooting you down from a distance like a moon😂
@@GlamorousTitanic21 think about what you said. That’s exactly what space warefare would be like. Blind to everything, unlike Ariel combat.
You aren't blind at all.
You just have a different way of seeing, primarily via sonar.
You build a literal map of what is around you.
And when your boat is quieter, and your sonar more sensitive, and your stack operators better trained with much more experience than the bad guys, the idea of combat isn't scary at all.
A real world combat scenario between a US and a Russian sub would go something like this:
US sub CO: Is the target solution still up to date?
US: Aye aye. Per standing orders we've been in their baffles since they left port.
US sub CO: We've just received orders to engage. Flood tubes 1 and 3 and fire when ready. Helm 20 degrees down and hard right rudder on my command.
Russian sub sonar operator: Captain, we have a contact directly aft. It's Death.
what enemies do we have under the sea?

Superbly done in every respect, from an ex-ASW operator. Thank you so much.
Thank you for serving. Please, write a book!!
@@j.b.9581 I think that book's already been written, but thank you for your kind compliment.
Amazing, weapons created to destroy fellow humans and continents of their habitation. Sad, so so sad .
What do I have to do to work on a submarine (Schooling? Applying? etc.)
Correction, they didn't sink 33 ships but 5,000 ships.
The German navy used the Unterseeboot, or U-boat, to sink 5,000 ships measuring more than 13 million gross register tons during the war.
But close to 80 percent never came back. 785 were lost BTW. Only 52 US Subs were lost and still on eternal patrol during WW2. That is quite the difference. Considering US Submarines destroyed 55% of all Axis Warships. Even with bad torpedoes up until 1943. God Bless Submariners.
Here because of titan. Rip.
Same
same too bro. something so scary but fascinating about the deep, the dangers.. the unknown. Fng with nature. Trying to tame the untamable
It’s fine. The controller died that’s all.
DEI Structural Engineering brother, I bet they let some UNQUALIFIED person who barely passed their Calculus 3 and Linear Algebra class build the sub that kill those REAL American and patriotic young men. It’s very sad brother 🇺🇸
I love how they explained the advancement of technology succinctly.
Succ my technology.
Wow, they finally figured it out, thanks to Roswell!!!!! Two thumbs up, Godspeed!!!! Outstanding balance and integration of both Technologies!!!!
The documentary's narrator says that "a rocket needs air to burn". Incorrect! Rocket motors carry their own oxidizer, completely independent for ignition and burning from the atmosphere. That's obvious from the fact that they can operate in space where there is no air. Whoever wrote this script was clueless!
I've played this while I sleep, I was clapping in my dreams at the ending sequence. Totally magnificent.
I always thought it didn't make sense he couldn't drill through the copper bottom. Although it could have been a harder alloy, I suspect weakness from oxygen deprivation was more the likely culprit. I'm glad this analysis addresses it more fully.
Remember though, he is limited in how much upward force he can generate by the buoyancy of the submarine. As he tries to seat the drill, the drill is also pushing the sub down. Add in natural currents in the water moving him up, down and sideways, and it must have been very frustrating.
@@dmrr7739 Don't forget, he'd have been trying to drill into a sloped surface. That's a nightmare even with a drill press, let alone with all the other issues you're mentioning.
He's using a drill designed to penetrate wood, as that was the expected material - not too surprising since all vessels at that time were of wooden construction. Copper is quite soft as metals go, but a lot more resilient than wood. So you're not going to get through copper plating with a wood drill.
Just the fact that the bit will be sliding around the surface of the metal while he tries to get it started is enough of an issue. Have you done any drilling of holes above water? Under water any work becomes ridiculously complicated.
No leverage in addition to being exausted and needing enough air and strength to make an escape.
My uncle was an officer on the first nuclear submarine in the Soviet Union. They completed the first ever around the world tour without surfacing the sub. Pretty cool stuff.
@tarastikhomirov6609 Is this another "it was invented in Russia" communist fabrication? USS TRITON did the first submerged circumnavigation of the Earth, not the Soviets.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but are there more details to this story that would clarify what appear to be a conflict with actual history?
Chapter timestamp/footnote for "32:08 Nuclear Strike - USS George Washington "mentions CVN-73 (CV = Carrier Vessel/Aircraft Carrier, N = Nuclear Propulsion); I think you meant to put the hull designation of the similarly-named submarine instead. The one you're mentioning is SSBN-598 (SS = Submarine/Submersible Ship, B = Ballistic Missile, N = Nuclear Propulsion).
I love the video! I used to serve on the same class of submarine featured in this video (SSBN-738 / USS Maryland).
Great catch on the hull number! I didn't see that!
it was really well done documentaries like this that inspired me to get into engineering.
What a magnificent specimen of a man used for the experiment
I love the little James Bond music in the background
For big, bigger biggest I would have expected a mention of the Russian Typhoon. By far the largest submarine ever build.
I was on the Pennsylvania Gold crew when this was made! The Blue crew had the boat at the time!!! Was the top Trident in the fleet for years!
I was on the Nevada Gold Crew just out of DASO trials in the 1980s. It was the top submarine.
What's the difference between Gold and Blue? I mean obviously they are designations, but do they mean anything more than just separate designations?
@@Nevir202 two complete crews who take turns. Boat docks to resupply and she gets a fresh crew as one team leaves and the other boards. No significance to either color; blue and gold are the navy’s colors so those are the two they picked.
@@krash2fast99 thanks much
Amazing how mankind can invent such destructive devices instead of devising ways to avoid the need for such weapons.
This is a truly insightful piece keep up the good work to the people who made this
You're profile picture says you shouldn't be watching nerd stuff. Are you a Unicorn?
There's a cracking BBC crime drama miniseries set on a submarine called 'Vigil'. It does a pretty good job of conveying the tension that's inherent within life upon a submarine (as well as the excellent writing/acting of course lol)
Thank you for giving a detailed yet easy to understand explanation of how and why this horrifying tragedy occurred.
Understanding of swimming pool engineering on simple levels. And then also having an excellent internal gyroscope and becoming part of the machine that you're driving.. could you imagine if that just came naturally.
The USS George Washington SSBN598 was originally designed as a Fast Attack submarine in the Thresher/Permit class. Before it was commissioned, it was cut in half and the missile compartment and systems added.
That's incredible; you'd think an SSBN would have to be designed that way from the start and couldn't be modified that extensively.
With a modification like that, i wonder what the test depth was compared to the normal thresher class subs. Its got to be declassifide at this point
Would you go back to the ocean deep I know that it is beautiful down there with all the life that lives in the ocean absolutely stunning created
@@ilonaruru9187 and you ain't gunna see any of it lmao
That's pretty interesting, I didn't know that. I spent a lot of time on the GW when I was in 38A on the Holland. A million years ago it seems. I had my kids later on in my career. They were pretty young when I retired and have no idea what kind of work I used to do. I also was a crane operator on the Alamagordo ARDM-2.
Very great teachers in this clip. No way you'll hate physics or chemistry with them.
After this video I learned that it is really difficult to live under a submarine,tucked everything in between those strange machines this is so claustrophobic
Very interesting...the 3D illustration was highly superb 👌 and most of my unanswered questions like how missiles are fired under the water was answered correctly..thanks alot
The process that accelerate the missiles is so strong that it doesnt require air
Man, with all his might, and with all the alternatives, saw it most fitting to build a weapon capable of destroying himself.
What a way to tell a story with complementing animation about the technology transformation. Thank you! I have enjoyed a lot while watching it. Wish for more informative videos similar to this in technology transformation. Thanks!
This is beyond amazing. I have re-watched the documentary for the 5th time in a row
I enjoyed watching this video, especially good on submarine history. Yes... The USS Pennsylvania can go 20 years without refueling... But stay submerged only about 3 months before food restocking is needed. Please correct me if this figure is wrong. Now there is a real weakness they talk little about. Instead, they seem to fool around with phrases like "... stay submerged for months at a time". No I do not think so, not more than 3 months at any rate.
Thanks Navy for your service!
That 1776 turtle sub totally has the best sound.
US Navy submariner are a special breed of patriot. Smart and brave. Imagine going on a sinking ship.
As a kid I grew up on the beach near Seattle where the Bremerton ship yard is. They would take submarines out in Puget Sound for testing and I would take my 16' ski boat out to watch them. I would be paralleling the submarine, at a distance, when all of a sudden this large, noisy plume of water would spray up meaning the submarine was getting ready to dive. I would tag along and watch it go under until you would never know anything was there. It was kind of creepy, but cool.
Proud Father of Navy young Men that just arrived in one this Big Boys to Australia, Salute to all the military services in our Country (Mexican/American Proud)🙏🏼
It was very enjoyable to watch.. And very educating.. The experiments was an added touch. Very informative. Thanks
All our submarines are built by General Dynamics Electric Boat in RI ! It takes almost 5000 people mostly welders to create these boats. Best job in the world with the best Teams of CoWorkers along with the Navy’s Inspectors and engineers on site !
Straight up. Remember watching this as a kid like a little less than 10 years ago. USS turtle is burned into my memory
Thanks
The engineers of the old days and bravery. True heroes
To all the brave submariners, thank you .
My uncle was a submariner in WWII. One who CAME BACK to the USA!!
Oh my god
After the Type VII U boat, there shouldve been the type XXI that really revolutionaized the entire concept and is the true grandfather of ALL modern submarines. First type U-boat in human history that was from the drawing board designed as meant to be operated 99% underwater rather than as a surface ship, like the earlier U-boats that mostly used to dive for rather short amounts of time, and only to evade destroyers and such... the Type XXI on the other hand, was pretty much designed and built to do everything... while underwater.
Yes the xx1 is to me the first of its kind
Great video! I have actually sat inside the real Hunley in Charleston, SC. We were doing some instrumentation work with the conservatory. It is TIGHT inside, super scary to think of being on the crew turning the crank in the cold, dark underwater.
The crew of the Hunley had courage beyond any that I can think of in the history of submarines!!!
Lpl0
I live in Charleston. I thought it was still in a tank, to prevent further decay. Never been to the place its located now. I was in Chas when they recovered it out of the mud from the bottom off Sullivan's Island. God Bless Submariners.
I ve scene the Huntley in a museum in South Carolina before you enter West Columbia South Carolina 1985.
The Russians had all kinds of grief with their nuclear submarines while trying nuclear power, like the Kursk and a few others. The crews died a horrible death when the Russians ran into trouble with their nuclear reactors. The Russian sailors had great courage when something went wrong with their ships...
Unbleavable courage, to enter into a nuclear damage reactors knowing that your gonna die a prolong horrible death. I hope their Country remembers them...
The Russians had some problems because they were at the cutting edge of submarine technology and discovering new methods always has problems. The US simply copied what the Russians had already proved to work. This video, although it is very well done, does not tell the truth of the situation, which is that the Russians are far ahead in submarine technology and abilities.
And by the way, the biggest sub in the world, by far, is Russian!
KURSK was clearly a weapon explosion at the the fore end - why is not clear --in 1955 in the old diesel RN HMS SIDON there was a torpedo explosion (hydrogen Peroxide) ,that eventually sank the submarine . I don't thinking the Russians have had a reactor problem for many years .
Kursk was nothing nuclear, it was destroyed by a faulty torpedo.

Very interesting. I find submarines fascinating. But I don't think I've got what it takes to be in a crew. Perhaps I've watched too many movies.
Being hit by one, after seeing their firepower is no joke. Can't imagine what it must be like to be hit inside one when deep underwater. I guess I would rather be turned into dust on land, than face the sinking and inevitable death in the ocean bed. It better be quick, man.
Anyways, very cool documentary. Nice work!

Uncle was a nuclear missle tech instructor, mom was a welding ( metals) inspector at PSNS.
Apparently approximately 93 feet was lost off of the Pennsylvania back around 1983
I don't remember the exact dates, (Google 'em) but around '83 all of the USN's "Boomers," (nuclear capable, nuclear powered submarines) went through a retrofit because of the SALT/START treaties.
One of the welding inspectors back then told me how they cut the subs in half, removed 12 of the vertical "Trident" nuclear missiles as well as ther their launch tubes, then welded the parts back together again.
Off the Pacific coast, a whale couldn't fart all the way to China without us knowing about it. Seriously, the microphones (SOSUS network) can detect ANYTHING!
Whenever you see footage in a movie, commercial, news, etc of a big nuclear sub breaking the surface
I believe it's usually the USS Ohio.
We used to watch them leave and cone back from operations at FT. Casey on Whidbey Is, WA.

The Typhoon class, Soviet designation Project 941 Akula was slightly bigger than the biggest USA built sub.
Not anymore though, only one left and it's not in fighting condition.
Slightly? I hope that was sarcasm.
The Turtle was not the world's first submarine. The dutchman Cornelius Drebbel built a working submarine a hundred years before the Turtle. Drebbel's submarine even had a rudimentary air cleaning system.
But was it a war vessel? The video kept making that statement when talking about it. I don't know, myself, but just questioning it.

The progression from small, tactical subs to massive ballistic missile submarines reflects humanity’s drive to explore, conquer, and secure the oceans. As technology continues to evolve, submarines will remain a critical asset in naval warfare, exploration, and global defense, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible underwater.
It always amazes me how far the human brain has gone and the height of our accomplishment
Even newer subs in the future will have a circular ring around the propeller and change from mechanical to electric to further reduce supercavitation at high speeds.
It's called a shroud, and our torpedoes have had them for many years.
