- At 171 metres long, the USS Pennsylvania is the biggest submarine in the US Navy. It can dive deeper than a thousand feet, sail for 20 years without refuelling, and remain submerged for up to 6 months. The vessel carries a crew of 155 men and a deadly nuclear arsenal. The film investigates how this submarine was made possible through a series of six historic engineering breakthroughs. We explore the inner workings of six landmark submarines, including the tiny Turtle and colossal German U-Boats. Each features a major technological innovation that allowed engineers to build bigger submarines, including the development of underwater breathing, torpedo’s, missile launch systems, and stealth technology. Using computer-generated imagery this film reveals the incredible stories behind these machines and the inventions that have allowed them to grow in size. Six ingenious leaps forward enabling submarines to evolve, from BIG, to BIGGER, into the US Navy’s BIGGEST.

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 sound effects made it very entertaining.😁
they made weapons of mass destruction sound sexy
Way too much 'Big Bigger Biggest' graphics combined with loud clunking noises for my liking.
@@breakthecycle5238 Yes! Like when they were putting on the fuel tanks on that fuel sub..
I served for 20 years on submarines, and my last one was an Ohio-Class SSBN. An absolute beast.
Ohio>:)
@@jack1979o shut up normie
I did 10 years on Frigates ASW. Glad we're on the same team 🤝
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.
@@jack1979o yes, ohio high in the middle and round on both ends :-)
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!!!
Let's not forget that a submersible& submarines are 2 completely different technologies.
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”
@Objection_23and1..💀.."poetic tragedy".., Hmmm, how strangely erotic..🥀
i came here for that too. Really wonder how Engineers created this insane Underwater Submarine
@@notoriousnat92😅😅😅😅😅
This sent me way back, to watching these as a young child, and where my love of engineering began. Thank you
The format of this, bouncing between the original ideas and how they've evolved and are applied today, is fantastic.

Can I join your video😢🎉

I absolutely enjoyed every single minute of this video, WELL DONE to the people who made this video.

Yes, knowing how Armageddon can be unleashed upon fellow humans is so uplifting and heartwarming...
@@jimbob-robob It is, if you also know that the reason we enjoy peace is because of these weapons of mass destruction.
Cycling shorts?
it's because it's from the 90s or early 00s, when tv was still good
I've never had anything to do with the Marines, Ships, or Submarines, but this is a fantastic video production. Thank you. 👋👋
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
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.
Did you say. . . "unfathomable"?😉
@@eyesuckle lol
@@eyesuckle Yes it's a word Look up the definition
@@eyesuckle unfathomable-
incapable of being fully explored or understood or impossible to measure the extent of.
@@nathanpell-cook4122 Whoosh.
No wonder why the level of discipline the crew most have to run this incredible piece of art machine. Excellent video
Absolutely. You couldn't get me to step foot inside a submarine, it's way too claustrophobic.
Andrew needs to start a TH-cam channel. I’d love to hear him explain all manner of science.
th-cam.com/video/w2wi6T4P9-U/w-d-xo.html he's a regular on the royal institute
Love how enthusiastic the chemists 👨🔬 are in teaching and encouraging learning.
Superb engineering on single sub hulls for submarines makes them smaller than the double hull design and is more maneuverable with stealth !
Father of an ex-submariner here, really enjoyed the video, thanks.
It was very enjoyable to watch.. And very educating.. The experiments was an added touch. Very informative. Thanks
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.
@Alex462047, it was originally from 2009, so probably filmed in the mid 2000’s.
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!
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.
Who the fck needs u? Be a doctor, dentist etc, not a useless trash who takes our taxes
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!!
@First Last Actually submarines used to always be named after a fish - of which a Growler is one (I'm old - no sense of humor left 🙃) .
Gold crew here, you have a right to your envy !! Camping on the beach for days in Hawaii , skin diving , Yep.
And there is that DASO run in Ft. Lauderdale during spring break. Fond memories.
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!
I love how they explained the advancement of technology succinctly.. Que história sobre submarinos espetaculare! Gostei muito e recomendo. .
Stick to one buddy
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.
Hey there Audrey 😃!!
I wish I had the time & space 2 tell you how exciting it is 4 me 2 watch ur growth on becoming a thru hiker !!! Here is the obvious and then there are the subtle nuances.
For me it is very exciting, wonderous and amazing !!!
Someday you too will watch it and see it in someone else watching them do their video. Knowing what you know about thru-hiking. I'm watching you metamorphose and it brings me great great
JOY 👋👏☺️. NOT every one that does a thru hike grows !!
Even if they are enjoying trail ... I can't explain it in a concise way. As a teacher you would have been disappointed in my scholastic achievements or lack of !! I may not have a great vocabulary. But I've learned there's many kinds of smart 🤓 So thank you 4 sharing ur journey 🙏 !!!!!!
I've truly enjoyed ur videos 😅.
So, peace and keep on rocking the free world 🌍 🤠👍🏽
& ATB2U !!!
Ah yes, quality content
I enjoyed every minute of it, thank you
I usually don't watch videos this long on TH-cam, but damn if I didn't watch every second of this one. Very very well made video.
Watchin some.yertube
it was really well done documentaries like this that inspired me to get into engineering.
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.
Im going to watch
Among so many documentaries introducing nuclear submarine, this is the best! Especially, the use of CGI is doing its job perfectly.
Very interesting and informative. Amazing technology.
Wow, they finally figured it out, thanks to Roswell!!!!! Two thumbs up, Godspeed!!!! Outstanding balance and integration of both Technologies!!!!
Great presentation thanks for the hard work that went into this 👍 👏
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!
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?
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.
Best explained ever. Thank you !
I always looked up to soldiers. And special forces etc.. but i think these Submariners deserve more credit.
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
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 !
Thank you for giving a detailed yet easy to understand explanation of how and why this horrifying tragedy occurred.
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.)
Excellent presentation - thank you ❤
Thanks to the team that put this together
Popped in for a quick preview of the video and ended up watching the whole damn thing in one go absolutely fascinating video. Great work .
I've played this while I sleep, I was clapping in my dreams at the ending sequence. Totally magnificent.
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
Thank you for an interesting and well crafted documentary
I never expected how much I would enjoy this. Props to the makers they know what they are doing.
Бб.
I completely agree with you
Interesting & Enjoyable
Good Combination ✌🏻😉👍🏻
No pun intended, right? ;)
@@JD-je3fg yes
Much appreciate for such a comprehensive demonstration. Thanks and plz keep doing ❤
This is beyond amazing. I have re-watched the documentary for the 5th time in a row
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.
Fascinating documentary!
I loved this series all my childhood. i still love it today
This was a brilliant video. I was so intrigued. Really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot
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
The engineers of the old days and bravery. True heroes
woow,great physics,maths and chemistry
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.
This channel is highly underrated !!!!!! This is a true masterpiece that i have never seen before with such a beautiful history and the challenges solved by the engineers. Its beautiful and horrifying at the same time, kudos to its makers and the whole team.
This is a documentary from the 90's.
Yep. It's called Big Bigger Biggest
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.
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.
Big bangs make a big mess
@@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?
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 would like to know how deep she can go
I love how they explained the advancement of technology succinctly.. I love how they explained the advancement of technology succinctly..
I love the little James Bond music in the background
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.
Fascinating stuff man, its unreal the minds of men and there ability to create.
the production, content and graphics of this video is exceptional
Thanks Navy for your service!
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
Im a submarine, my pronouns are she, her

Lies again? Elevate Training Easy Target
absoulout brilliance in technology
well done. many thanks from me Apo, for sure thank you i appreciate
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
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!!
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.
For big, bigger biggest I would have expected a mention of the Russian Typhoon. By far the largest submarine ever build.
That 1776 turtle sub totally has the best sound.
Excellent history lesson. Thank you.
👍👍👍 YEP.
"Stories that will brighten our day "
Yes , this is it
I completely enjoyed this. I learned a lot of good information. Thank you

Can't help but feel proud 🇺🇸🤍 amazing video dude, from the animations to the storytelling, everything was perfect, deserves those 13 mil views
Couldn’t stop watching. Just fascinating. Excellent documentary.
Did you hear the fart at 8:57? In the video lmaooo
Amazing technological advances!
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.
US Navy submariner are a special breed of patriot. Smart and brave. Imagine going on a sinking ship.
Very great teachers in this clip. No way you'll hate physics or chemistry with them.
This was a certified childhood classic.
This could not have been more accurate

What happened to the WWI German uboats? This film does not truly say what was really happening, the German Uboats in WWI were already sinking allied shipping, WWI was when the electric torpedo came into service….
Well done gentlemen!😉✌️
fascinating! really enjoyed the explanations.
Thnks for the submarine knowledge.
I'm not even interested in this topic but I watched the whole thing. Excellent production.
Thanks for your service! Awesome experience!
Fantastic show.
Thanks for sharing.
I learned so much on this episode ! So nice
Dude the voice just added more power to the submarines
fantastic !!!! really a good job !!! Thanks for sharing it !
I love submarines, especially the U-Boat 🇩🇪 submarines ❤❤
Minimizing the popping bubbles is so amzing. In movies there is a scene when submarines launching canister making bubbles as a decoy.
I really love this video and the way you detailed every section
I’m dame glad this Sub is on our side! ❤
Such a beautifully crafted video. Kudos to the team behind this. Truly Magnificent !
nicely done. great presetation!!
