Let us know when you have worked on a submarine and tell us about your experience so we can enjoy it with you! ⬇ ⚓
My next door neighbor went into the navy to specifically become a submarine chef, because they were the best of the best and could go on to become chefs in the white house. There were also height limits on how tall you could be to serve on a sub. Just a couple random facts I learned from him!
I received a tour on one when it was moored next to our ship. It was actually the USS Sunfish
No amount of money could pay me to ride one of those. I enjoy the open air and ocean
Ok Y not ❓❓❓ Posting in Honorable memories of Admiral G.H Rickover ret Admiral Zumwalt ret Admiral Jer Brooda ret , David Staudohar USMC USN SS USCG ret , Including Command Submarine group 6 , I got my kicks in the 6 th. 🦅🇺🇸🦅
Nice PR……. I’ll just leave it at that. The morning alarm thing though…………
OMG…. The LIBRARY. C’mon Son
My son is currently on a submarine. I thank active and inactive submarines for their courage, sacrifices and service. May y'all be blessed.
We are, you have it harder......
Retired Submariner 20 years 1974-1994. God bless your son. He is the new generation of heroes 🇺🇲
Back in the early 1970's our neighbor's son just retired out of the Navy.
He was a submariner, 28 years under water..
Had some great stories and memories...
28 years underwater ? I appreciate his service, but I would never ever be ok with that life. IMO
astronauts get glory but these heroes are hidden away. bless em all.
My husband served in the navy 22 years and all of those years he was either under the water or talking about going under the water. While we were dating he joined the Navy Submarine Reserve to keep from being drafted into the Army. He was called to active duty during the Cuban Missle Crisis. He went on a diesel boat in Florida. He then was recommended to go to Nuclear Power School so that he could be on the newer subs. He graduated from the schools required and was assigned to a fast attack sub. When his time was up on that and was given the opportunity to go to a FBM, he refused. He loved his fast attack subs. It made him feel special, I guess, I don’t know. We got married in between all of this and had children. As I said he retired after 22 years and then worked at the shipyard repairing them. Until he retired again. I went on two Dependents’ Cruises. Submarines are not meant to ride the surface of the water. I was dreading when they dived the first time. When the horn sounded and the words, “Dive! Dive! Dive!,” we spoken my heart stopped. They shut the hatches, and we started down, but when we breathed the air that the ship generated, it was wonderful. It was like going down on a smooth elevator and the air was the cleanest air I had ever breathed. It was great! Of course all the men that served on the ship were not on board. Only the crew needed to conduct business. We never really left our waters. My only complaint was the bathroom. It didn’t operate like a regular bathroom. My husband prepared me for that. The food served on the submarine is very good. I remember when we first got married and I was eating baloney sandwiches for lunch, he would come home later and tell me about the number of lobster tails he had eaten and he made sure to eat one for me, too. They have some of the best cooks. At least back then. The other thing that was very special was because fast attacks have only one crew, the men are especially close because their lives depend on each other doing their job! Of course there were a couple of a**holes but even they were in check when out to sea. There weren’t any women on subs back in those days. Being a spouse of a Submariner was not on my list of things to do when I was young and planning my life. At times it was difficult because he was gone so much. Fast attacks has the schedules of any surface ship. There were six month patrols and then three months here and two weeks there. I’m glad we had our children late in our marriage. As it is my oldest child doesn’t remember him much for the first 5 years of her life. He retired when she was 8 and our youngest was 2. They had Dad home for the most important parts of their life. I got to me some people who are very important part of my life now and I would never have gotten to meet them if we had not been a Navy family. There were ups and downs but I don’t regret any part of it. It made us enjoy our times together better. We are a very close knit family! 😄❤️🇺🇸
he probably blew a few sailors
Stfu nobody cares about you and your terrorist husband which is part of the worlds dirtiest most scumbag nation ever.
You americans have millions of africans, asians, PEOPLES blood in your hands
I am glad your husband is alive. However I question why anyone would seek the thill of a chance to kill other people. You are proud of your husband for fathering your children and being alive, but why the need to gloat, but then question about this career?. "It made him feel special, I guess, I don't know". Your comment made really no sense and actually reflects on how small/big attitudes effect the world. Good on your husband for serving for 22 years... you never saw him and why post this comment. Clearly peace is not something you prefer?
My husband didn’t join to Navy just to kill someone. He was protecting his country but I guess with your mindset you wouldn’t understand. I never said that I never saw him! Yes, he was proud of his work and his family was very proud and we still are. We are still part of the Navy family. That never really goes away. I’m sorry that with your mindset, you will never understand and I’m happy that there are not many people like you in the world! Because he was out there sailing the seas of the world, I did have peace knowing he was a peace keeper. You’ll never understand so please don’t say anything more about it. Since you are an enraged man, I wonder what makes you so very enraged? I guess that’s why you don’t understand the need for the military! I’m sorry you are so enraged. Maybe someday you will find peace of mind. I’ll pray for you!!
@@BH-sn7ws How many men did you sleep with while he was away?
God knows, I could not survive that due to my claustrophobia. Great Respect.
Thanks pops for your service as a chef in the Navy for 21 years.
Geez the kitchen looked huge. Almost like it was video from an aircraft carrier..
It is actually a Aircraft carrier. They did a whole documantation and cut varios pieces together to make some small Clips. So they don’t make Sense any more. You can tell as well by the uniform the sailers are wearing
Dawgs be splicin’ the video.
Lmao. 😂😂😂
As some one who builds submarines...yea a lot of this footage looks like CVN 78 lol
@@floriandurre4953 He’s being sarcastic.
Been there. Done that. The Commanding Officer and the Executive Officer generally observed a standard 24 hour cycle. The rest of us, officers and enlisted crew alike, stood a 1 in 3 watch rotation of six hours on and twelve hours off.
Which ships were you on?
That 18 hour / 3 section day is exactly why I can't sleep more that 5 or 6 hours at a time to this day. I retired 23 years ago. 2 boomers and 2 fast boats.
@@armcchargues8623 I appreciate the time that you served
Your sacrifice for your country is honorable
🇺🇸
U see anything cool under water
We had fish in the evaporator once.
i was an lst sailor in the 70's . i know what your going through. thank you for your service
There are two kinds of boats in the Navy. Submarines and targets.
You are all AWESOME! God Bless you all. Thanks for your service!
OMG...just watching this video has caused me immediate anxiety 😱. Thank GOD for all those serving our country and especially those on those submarines.
From one vet to another. May God continue to bless you this day and all your days. You make us proud. Thank you for your courage and sacrifice.
I’m claustrophobic just watching this video. My grandpa, dad, brother and father-in-law were all Navy men. My dad was a medic and my brother was a fighter pilot. My grandpa served in WWI in the Army and WWII in the Navy. He received two Purple Hearts. Anyhow, I’m a new subscriber and I’m enjoying your channel. ❤️👍🏻
Your family has reason to be very proud! As for claustrophobia...I'm an old Army guy who would probably have gone absolutely crazy after a week on a submarine.
I didn't know the u s navy have women on subs;
My brother and myself joined the US navy after graduating in 2008. We both had dreams to be pilots and to fly together, UNTIL he met some bubbleheads and was instantly hooked. He was never the same and now calls me a airedale for choosing the sky over crushing depths. All good fun though! Takes a special kind of person to do what these men/women do on the daily! o7!
Haha, bubblheads and airdales🙂
Your are an Airedale and he is a Bubblehead, as I am a Ping Jocky live with it,....LOL, Thanks for your service...a Bubblehead, Pingjocky.
@@zed332lsonar girls.
I take my hat off to them, and respect.
This old Army guy is astounded by this video. That's gotta be tough duty... *really* tough.
Really what's tough about it they aren't humping the gear days on end in shitty weather with no sleep.
@@marklee8226 They're feet away from a nuclear power plant that might be emitting deadly stuff...they're feet from missiles that could malfunction and explode...the boat may develop a sudden leak causing everyone aboard to die.
Bla bla what if what if so dangerous what if!!
@@marklee8226 I'm gonna go out on a limb and ask: have you ever served in the Armed Forces?
Served on two diesel boats in the 50's, one fast attack and 4 boomers in the 60's through the 70's. Been retired 46 years. Diesels and fast attacks were a little crowded but going to sea on a boomer or Trident boat was like going to sea in the Hilton Hotel. Good memories.
Correct. TDY on the Whale ,...SSN 632 could not wait to get home ,..Tecumseh....SSBN 628 and when I got home guess who was in my rack, the 100 plus lb bust of Chief Tecumseh thank God no ice.....that came later years, you want a weapon a bordered Submariner....LOL.
Thank you for your service sir. My first submarine in 1974, USS Sargo ssn583 skate class sister of the Nautilus. I did not have my own bunk till my second sub. USS Hawk Bill SSN 666. Caught a ride I one diesel sub for 2 weeks. Had to get rid of all my clothes afterwards. They all smelt like diesel ⛽. Live long. Submarines once submarines twice......😮
that ain't a submarine galley
Awesome video
Thank you!
💖👌🙏
Submarines are the most lethal weapons on the planet bar none. They can be anywhere anytime and nobody is the wiser. Imagine the human beings that operate these weapons. Only the best of the best.
A GREAT JOB GUYS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AMERICA IS SO MUCH SAFER WITH YOU GUYS AT SEA.
God bless all who serve, and all who have served. It seems, from videos I've seen (I'm not an American) that the military provides excellent food to service members. The food in this video looked fantastic.
Submariner food was the best in the U.S. military (better than the regular USNavy food)
I never had the honor of serving. But my father lived on the USS Flasher for many years. This video gave me great insight of how my father lived in the 70's-80's.
You are correct, He "Lived on" many people do not realize "It is our home". thanks for pointing that out. You attack us you are attacking our home.
I commissioned Flasher in 1966. Left the boat in 1968. When was he aboard?
@webbtrekker534 my father wasn't assigned to the Flasher until the late 70's. God bless you and all of those sailors.
Superb verbal clarity of different jobs a submariner has to do and practice.
Thank you for your service 🙏
USN Submariner MM2/SS (A-Gang) USS Pittsburgh 720 2002-2008… Truly the best decision and experience of my life!
god be with these brave men and women, ive been at sea 45 years and will take my chances on the surface lol. god bless you all
Presented very well. Bravo.
I like these navy videos always have an extended sequence on the food/meals
Thank you for your tremendous sacrifice. I also thank the families that I have to be without their own for months at a time.
While I'll agree the environment is cramped it is positively spacious in comparison to the WW2 submarines. I saw one in Charleston, SC and don't see how they men could have lived like that for weeks. We've come a long way.
Diesel boats forever!
Imagine how cramped the German ones were, American (gato class mostly) subs are so much bigger than the type 7's.
Thank you and God Bless
Thank you guys for your service 😢
Excellent
Teamwork and comradery is key to dealing with the stresses of submarine duty. I know I couldn't do the job but want to thank those that do. Thank you.
🔴🦅🇺🇸🦅 i Served on board a Nuclear submarine in Charge Charleston South Carolina command subgroup 6 , Great memories Great pay, U S A ALL THE WAY ‼️ As Always patriotically inspired by your posting David Staudohar USMC USN SS USCG ret
Lol, ".. As the primary navigator, the submarine's navigator is responsible for the safe and efficient navigation of the ship."
What revelation will they hit us with next? "As the primary cook, the cook is responsible for cooking?" Nonsense, I tell ya!
Brave men and… Men.
Hearing about the chow kinda makes me wish I’d been in the navy instead of army infantry. Hearing about the cramped quarters and trying to imagine life under water for months makes me thankful I wasn’t in submarines.
Much like being an astronaut
Some people are made for it
Close proximity with fellow humans!
I believe submariners are the best suited for deep space missions, if we ever reach that point...
I was on a British Diesel/electric sub and the area to move around was so small. The coning tower was the only place for a sailor taller than 6'2" to stand upright. Food was stored everywhere throughout the sub. If you had even a smidgen of claustrophobia it would be a cruel event. The nuclear subs are void of a window to the outside but still have a healthier area to get around.
Nobody cares about Britain
There is no way i could go on a sub being claustrophobic. The thought of being locked in a metal tube underwater would drive me crazy.
You wouldnt notice on a modern sub they are huge inside
You are showing a trade in summering are used to build them at general dynamics. In fact, I built the first Sea Wolf that the Navy purchased as an attack submarine, the Sea Wolf.
Incredible
i wish there was that much space
Good videos, one thing I can guarantee is that every one of them will talk about the food on the ship.
Nice submarine window with tree outside 3:24 🤣🤣🤣
Thank hod for every sailor
Food looks delicious! Would love to try it 😋
I like the window at “03:23”!
The closest thing to working in a sub I experienced was when I was hiding in a closet from a girls mother who came home early!
😂🤣
And by 1:11 it is 100% clear I could never do this. Good bless them.
Very informative, however, you till not find an aircraft carrier galley in a sub. The only thing I see wrong with this video.
I guess this is life on a Fast Attack Sub, as I had to say what to "the day starts early with the crew rising before dawn". My 6 "Boomer" (Ballistic Missile Sub) patrols on a US submarine was different from the workday described in this video as an A-Ganger. Did have 3 section watches, but the 12 hours between your watches you were off unless there were drills or equipment needed repair/maintenance. Food was good with milk and fresh vegies lasting the first 2-3 weeks into the patrol cycle. Claustrophobic feeling - never crossed my mind. It never felt confining and if you needed more "openness" space just go to the Torpedo Rm or Missile Compartment.
1:39 Must wear Eyepatch I pirate! I in water!
Positive and informative video. Also a Good quality!
I didn't know the pantry in a Sub is maintained by US Army personnel.
Also, a lot of "target" footage in this. Perhaps the USN should staff their next boat doc with only people who know about subs. Didn't make it to 3 min of this. EMCS(SS) Retired
It also had a window 🙄
Imagine the BO. No thanks. That’s gotta be one of the most difficult assignments in the Navy.
A great video. Thank you for the tour. 🙂👍🇺🇸
10 years Navy. 6 1/2 years on two fast attack subs. Shhhhh. Be vewy, vewy quiet. We’re hunting wabbits. This video got a lot wrong. Three 6 hour watches. The whole crew was only up at the same time for drills or battle stations. The only communications with the outside world was by receiving satcom messages. We never transmitted. Most of the time our own military didn’t know where we were.
I was a Missile Technician 2(SS), served aboard USS George C Marshall SSBN B&G, June 1971 to November 1974 and completed four patrols. You volunteer, they train you well and then go to sea, sometime for months!
MANY months!
Went on a dependence cruise in 77 while 6 months pregnant! Enjoyed the experience and went to the con! Lunch wasn't the greatest
Being in those tight spaces would freak me out….
I'm only a few minutes in and my anxiety is through the roof lol
Also the navigator souns like the captain behind the captain lol
Very informative. Thank you. I'm curious why the is footage of US Army soldiers in a US Navy video.
I see Marines in one scene, an Army Specialist in the galley, and Officers from another country.😮
I saw a submarine from another country and a galley with a window.
Riding before dawn; how do you know dawn
why does the 'pantry' have a window with a tree outside when its under water????
I like the window in the pantry. This video is ridiculous
I only made it halfway through this video. Too many things were way off. Wrong video clips of carriers, etc. He made it sound like we all are asleep and in the morning, the lights go on and everybody gets up!
I did six patrols on a boomer in the North Atlantic in the early seventies.
Holy Loch..8 trips in the 70s. Qualified in one patrol. Would u do it again? Easy to say YES now since am tooooo old to play.
I wasn’t claustrophobic till watch this 😵
What do Marines do in the submarines? Are they just cooks that get sent there? or is there like MARSOC and recon units that get sent there too?
That’s nice and all but how about showers?
Excellent video. Captain David Muir is so cool and calm under very stressful conditions.
omg lol I'm so glad not the only one to notice that was him!!!!
I spent 4 years on SSN 575 and 587….a completely different experience.
At 01:38....good to know pirates transitioned to submarines.
On land, you may command...
At sea, it is me! 🐧 🚢
Was the vid of the kitchens all in subs? Doesn’t look like it. Watching from Ontario Canada 😮
YOU FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THE OPERATIONS SPECIALIST (RADARMAN)Also Fire Control technicians, optical Specialist too.
told rates aren’t on subs anymore.
Did not know a submarine galley was so large...
Narration too much repetition.
I had to end this video 8mins in. Why would you make a video about US Navy personnel & include 2 sailors from the Spanish navy & twice show US Army soliders?
The difference between prisons and submarines is that prisons don't have a test depth.
The thought of the hull imploding on me spooks the hell out of me
I recon these machines,go beyond Antarctica!
You 100% took footage from a documentary I’ve seen.
"as the navigator, the navigator is required to navigate the ship"
As a former US sub commander, what would you like to know?
Was there any effects of not being in contact with the sun for days? What was longest amount of days on board without returning to port?
Should someone get claustrophobic, what was the procedure to calm them?
@@adamchapman3358 for me no effect without sun for 72 days. Crew members are young and healthy.
@@teresahixson8716 I made 8 SSBN patrols and only once did a new crew member insist that he could not continue with sub duty, he was simply upfront about it and got a transfer.
The thing that would get to me over time is that you are never more than 5 feet away from ANYTHING! People need space! Those sleeping quarters...nope
Yea I hear you tough life but when we come up look out women when men become like animals lol 😆
Great military people . You protect all Ameticans. America depends on you along with all military services.
Retired USN submariner. Not all of this upload was submarines. Some of the segments were skimmer vessels. Some of it was accurate. Not all of it. How it's changed. In my day, we never had a single female onboard when on deployment. I wouldn't recognize the submarine force today from what it was when I was active duty.
Nah. I bet you’d remember. It still sucks just different lol. #embracethesuck.
@@clemboslice43 Well yeah. Likely. Submarine school would definitely be required, I'm sure. In my day we drove with control wheels and called ourselves helmsman/planesman. Today I think they're called pilots.
@Rob Did you say ‘control wheels?’
@@Mecca4BA Yes. But, they're not really wheels. Looked more like aircraft control yokes. The wheels or circular controls were what was used on much older boats.
@@robr2389 Ooooooooh... I thought you were talking about the old school old school boats. You know, the ones that had the two big wheels on the port side of the control room.
It's just like being on the starship.
This sub was so advanced compared to the titan sub that was made of fiber glass and had no room at all
"Just enough space to sit up in bed" yeah okay pal. Try sitting up
I was on a trident and there was no alarm that sounded for breakfast lol….
I’m pretty sure whatever they are showing regarding the galley is from a ship and not a submarine.
Well I was prepared to sit back and enjoy this as it was suppose to be a "Navy Production" I'm 3:14 into this and half the footage was shot on an Air Craft Carrier!!!! Plus a good portion of this footage has been seen in other TH-cam videos.
And it is Sub Ma Reen Er not Sub Mar In Er. If it was good enough for the WW II guys I sailed with it is good enough for me.
Submarines 1964 to 1970!
"After close inspection of your file, we have determined your claustrophobia and anxiety is not service related"
Claustrophobia warnings 😂😂😂
