For those mindboggled by the Type III's (green cammies), they're the general working uniform for all Navy personnel on shore. No, they didn't phase it out for the blend-in-the-ocean issue; more so because the Type IIIs were lighter and more fire resistant than the Type IIs (blue cammies). Rather than remaking the blues with the more fire resistant material, the Navy just made everyone get the greens that were already stockpiled. Furthermore, they wear fire resistant coveralls underway (out at sea). That sub is most likely at port doing maintenance.
WTF Arrest the Command of this boat. And the camera crew. That's all CLASSIFIED INFO IN THE BACKGROUND. THERE ARE SAILORS IN PRISON FOR A SMALL PIC OF THIS STUFF!!!
When I was on a ship they handed out Ibuprofen, Sudafed, and Robotussin like it was candy. Some of my buddies would drink a whole bottle of Robotussin then go listen to Pink Floyd with the lights off in the shop.
Respect and appreciation to our current submarine sailors from a nuc attack submarine sailor (1970-1976). One can tell from how these men talk they are very knowledgeable and professional in what they do. God Bless our Navy nuclear submarine crews...
My corpsman (Boat Doctor) saved my life after we went underway my appendices burst, I was the ICLPO, he kept me alive while the Uss John C. Calhoun turned around and dropped me off a Cape Canaveral Hospital. Actually, the most expensive Ambulance ride ever. and My Boat Doctor kept me alive.
I also served on a fast boat out of Hawaii, the uss684 Cavalla. I met her in dry dock in hawaii. a 23 year old E-3, we all landed in hawaii Honalula, Pearl Harbor. I had my wife a 2 year old son and a 9 month old Baby,
A friend of mine served on board the Nimitz as a Nuc ET, but he wanted sub duty. He tried to get in, but the review board for crew selection failed him. Turned out he had one bad habit they didn't like. He liked to sleep with the windows open.
There more designed if they go over board and wash up on a possible enemy island there uniforms are ment to blend into a jungle and most of the time submariners were a blue duggeree s
I was stationed at Bangor Washington in 1982, when the 1st Trident boat arrived. I can remember the Coast Guard turning 2 1/2 inch fire hoses on little boats and sinking them because they wouldn’t get out of the way, then the Coast Guard would scoop the, out of the water and cuff them. There was a ship that came from Australia the wizard of something, a green peace ship. The Coast Guard arrested everyone onboard and hand cuffed them on the fantail. Every Wednesday was protest day at the front gate and we would have to use another gate to get on base. It was the best duty I had in 6 years of service.
I had the opportunity to tour the ‘USS Florida’ about 30 years ago as a Scoutmaster with a scout troop, I’m not sure who was more fascinated the adults or the scouts. Very interesting for sure.
@@lukasyaney6446 First of all , thank you for your service. ‘ Kool’ boat, all the scouts had a ‘blast’ lightning up the lunch board, “missile ready “ pull the trigger “missile away”. 🚀🚀🚀 One of our scout joined the Navy right after that to try to get into subs but he ended up having to got out for a medical problem he didn’t know he had before he enlisted.
I was on the SSBN610 THOMAS A EDISON from 77 to 80. I was going to re-enlist for 6 years to go to the trident program an backed out the last second. Regret it everyday. Great times
they're the best deterrent against another nation nuking us...a bunch of submarines, each with the capacity to level every major city in an adversary nation... and they dont know where we keep them when deployed.
In 1970 our bird was shot down twice and In 11 months I was shot at many many many times and was lucky enough to bring it back home and I was with out any doubt one very tough guy.. But big as my balls were I wouldn't last 1 minute on this boat...I tip my hat to these tough SOB's stay safe guys.. & THANKS !
YEA! The old BDU was made, so you could hide in the "WILD BLUE YONDER!", it's also called the GOD"S OCEAN.... Heck, I was pulled off the pier. And it still took people, 5-8 minutes to realize, I wasn't on the pier.... And there were 100 people there. Lost my best hat that day.....
Oh, it was in the shade....dark blue coveralls..... The NEW stuff is 50% nylon. It just creates "heat exhaustion". There is no protection in an "ARC FLASH" or "GAS FLASH" y'all still git cooked....ya I have been there... DEMS in Govt just gittin kick backs from their friends..... That's why uniforms changed every 4-5 yrs. All kick backs to DEMS IN GOVT.
We actually don’t wear this uniform underway or on deployments, we wear “poopie suits” or coveralls. The camouflage uniforms is just the navy’s standard working uniform
The first interview looks like a movie set shot with a wide angle lens that accidently shows the ceiling. There is never this much head space in films. :))
I was the 5th baby born to this Submarine and still have the cup that Officers wives gave my mom and dad. My dad was on the first crew that went out in it, as sailors had kids the officers wives would bring them a small metal cup with the babies name, what number he/she was. I've always been curious if they still do that or is only when the ship or Submarine is new?
I did 4 Strategic Deterrent Patrols as an STS2 (SS) on the USS Henry M. Jackson SSBN 730. The only Trident not named after a state. (Originally the USS Rhode Island) We never wore a uniform at all underway. We wore blue one piece jumpsuits affectionately called "poopy suits"
Seriously, the 1st nuke sub for U.S. was USS NAUTILUS in 1947. Put the crack pipe down dude. A diesel sub is more like it. Guess someone skipped History class.
They're wearing Navy Working Uniforms, or NWUs, not Battle Dress Uniforms. Coveralls (poopie suits) are only worn at sea, and aren't authorized to be worn off the pier
I was a Trident Training Facility ships control instructor for 4 years, made instructor of the quarter. Master of CAMS, and the acquisition of better coding for Ships control trouble shooting a electrical problem or is it Mechanical? We almost sank me being an ICLPO and HE E8 leading A ganger when all electronics are removed from your Stren Planes Servo Valve, and it fails to the Dive position.

The rest are really nice. available Subs get the BEST PAY, BEST BONUSES, BEST FOOD, BEST COFFEE, They even figured out how to do air drops by the US Air Force. YEA!

That's some balls. 1 month after 9/11 in Miami going out. Gave a thumbs up to a trooper/national guard. He came over and tried to accost me. Told him to call his sergeant. No Sergeants.

Even in 2001, LIBS in charge are trying to make nice to islamofascists. Told them both to back off....
Why is everyone caught up with the BDUs? I am retired AF, but I have to acknowledge the Navy has the best training of all the services. After all what else are you going to on a ship for 6 months.
Not BDUSs, as these are not the "battle dress" uniforms, but these are NWUs, Navy Working Uniforms. Theyre designed to be able to hide dirt or grime or grease. And yeah, the training never stops, even on mission >.>
It's so weird that so many people who are far more knowledgeable than I am about nuclear power persist in saying "nucular". I understand the natural inclination, since it's two "u" sounds in a row, but not why people keep saying "nucular" after being informed.
I liked the utilities better than the dungarees, they were the uniform before the dungarees. The pants had pockets you could actually used and they didn’t fade after a few months. More comfortable to wear.
I am still weirded out by these men not wearing dungarees or the blue jump suits (Poopy Suits). in my time, dungarees for the normal working outfit and poopy suits for underway. USS Georgia when she was a SSBN. later.
Looks like they’re in port, we normally wear the nwu in port and out poopie suits underway, although in refit environments we sometimes wear poopie suits in port
@@lukasyaney6446 Thanks Lukas, I am old old ex-salior from the 90's. It make since this was probably film while moored in port. I remember doing the same thing a nub my first year on the boat. I was in an old Discovery film called "Sharks of Steel". We filmed about 90% of that while next to the dock. Only the maneuvers were done underway and in the Puget sound area. Are the camo dress called NWU? Thanks later
@@grast5150 yup the camos are the NWU or the Navy Working Uniform. It’s the uniform we wear when doing dirty work or standing watch on the boat in port. We wear the service uniform when going into an office setting or a less formal even that our dress uniforms wouldn’t be needed
Very impressive! And, I mean that in a good way. I will also say that it is VERY expensive!! Which is why, I believe, Austria does not want to join NATO. They are landlocked and as a neutral country they do not have, need, or even want a navy. They have no problems with not having a Navy and not having to spend anything on such an institution. If they joined NATO then some of their annual dues would go to a navy.
It's so the DEMS in Govt, git their kick backs. And make the Sailors SWEAT Their ass off.. "50% Nylon just creates "HEAT EXHAUSTION"! And you sweat twice as much. Makes you more conductive in an "ARC FLASH" somewhere on the boat.....
You have to wear a uniform while on shift. The camouflage uniform is comfortable, has lots of pockets, is hard to stain, and. Does not need ironing. The tan shirt and slacks are made of polyester, stains easily, and is hot and not breathable, and requires ironing and starching. Now, what uniform would you choose to wear?
The guy is wrong when he says thay no one individual can be an expert on everything about the boat....if you don't then you will not qualify for your dolphins, and more often than not you will be transferred off the boat and the Navy will put you somewhere else. This will also go on your permanent record too.
No. Being an expert and knowing the basics about something are totally different. Compared to someone not on the sub, they might seem like experts but a nuke engineer isn't going to know a whole lot about torpedos.
I believe his statement is correct. Like a cook is going to be an expert on the nuclear reactor or the Corpsman is going to be an expert on firing torpedoes. Each member has to have a working knowledge of all systems onboard a Sub. Just like getting ESWS, have to have knowledge of the whole ship in order to qualify but you better be an expert at your specific job or others will suffer because of it.
@@okiesailor5417 ESWS doesn't make you an expert, though. You might know the types of missiles on board and their range but you wouldn't have any idea how they work or how to even fire one. There is no need to know that unless you work in that department. Lived it so I know the deal.
I also lived it for 20 years, so yes I also know the deal. I didn't say ESWS made you an expert, I said you better be an expert at your specific job. When I was in, our ESWS quals required some knowledge of all aspects of a ships operations from way down in engineering all the way to the signal bridge, not just your specific job.
@@okiesailor5417 I think we are saying the same thing. I didn't qualify ESWS but I did 99% of my qual card before I got out. I was a nuke engineer and had to qualify on every system in the engine room. The qual process for ESWS was a bit of a joke in comparison. The reason I didn't finish it was because I was uninspired by the symbol. I got 99% of my card signed just by walking around and talking to people. I wasn't an expert on any of that stuff but I could easily pass the board based on what others had reported. I only did the 99% because the XO required some percentage per week... then I got out. Anyway, if you were in 20 yrs you know that NO ONE on a sub is going to be an expert on everything. The sub is huge and no human can possibly know enough about everything on it to be considered an expert. Maybe an expert compared to some average Joe on the street. But, if you take 100 guys that work in the nuke engine room (who are probably the smartest on the ship) and ask them to drive the sub out of port and dive to 100ft I guarantee you they douldn't do it without crashing into something.
I noticed that HM1(SS) Romero isn't wearing his dolphins. When I was in, and as soon as I qualified in submarines, I made sure that my dolphins that I worked hard for were always on me. I would rather wear a uniform without my name on it then wear one without my dolphins. Hopefully, he fixed his uniform after the interview. ETV2(SS) Glenn Scroggins
@@jaffsharp769 That's a possibility, but I have my doubts. If he was still working on his dolphins, anyone else already qualified could have done the interview.

Nice to see the crew is wearing the right gear for taking the sub through dense jungle.

I don't think I would make it on a sub. No 55 inch TV, Home theater, cramped sleeping quarters, no Tim Hortons for my coffee. lol.
Oh, you are so wrong. Stay off Sea Wolf subs(They HOT rack). But, the rest are like staying at a Holiday Inn.
The rest are really nice. available
Subs get the BEST PAY, BEST BONUSES, BEST FOOD, BEST COFFEE, They even figured out how to do air drops by the US Air Force. YEA! Making the Air Force drop goodies for SUBS.....
Whenever I see a serviceman wearing camouflage in the airport I have an urge to shout "I see you." 😄
That's some balls. 1 month after 9/11 in Miami going out. Gave a thumbs up to a trooper/national guard. He came over and tried to accost me. Told him to call his sergeant. No Sergeants. And no orders.
Just told to watch for "A RAB" looking folks. Plenty around. But, they pick the white guy. Ya know the current cancel culture thingie. Even in 2001, LIBS in charge are trying to make nice to islamofascists. Told them both to back off....
that's rude, take off your shoes. that is someone else bed!

Did he say nukular?
Thats cool
Pretty radical
3:05 wouldn’t want to be the guy to fart in his sleep
Why is everyone caught up with the BDUs? I am retired AF, but I have to acknowledge the Navy has the best training of all the services. After all what else are you going to on a ship for 6 months.
Not BDUSs, as these are not the "battle dress" uniforms, but these are NWUs, Navy Working Uniforms. Theyre designed to be able to hide dirt or grime or grease.
And yeah, the training never stops, even on mission >.>
Why do these guys need camaflouge unifirms? There is nowhere for them to hide.
It's so weird that so many people who are far more knowledgeable than I am about nuclear power persist in saying "nucular". I understand the natural inclination, since it's two "u" sounds in a row, but not why people keep saying "nucular" after being informed.
Still don't see what was wrong with the old denim uniforms. But I'm a retired "Chair" Force, what do I know.
Yeah, the Navy shouldn't be wearing Army-style green camo on a submarine. That's just wrong on so many levels. :D
@@tyranusfan it's to save the taxpayers money---something we can all agree on!
I liked the utilities better than the dungarees, they were the uniform before the dungarees. The pants had pockets you could actually used and they didn’t fade after a few months. More comfortable to wear.
I wonder why the Navy coveralls are not blue like they used to?
Jungle camouflage in a sub?
I am still weirded out by these men not wearing dungarees or the blue jump suits (Poopy Suits). in my time, dungarees for the normal working outfit and poopy suits for underway. USS Georgia when she was a SSBN. later.
Looks like they’re in port, we normally wear the nwu in port and out poopie suits underway, although in refit environments we sometimes wear poopie suits in port
@@lukasyaney6446 Thanks Lukas, I am old old ex-salior from the 90's. It make since this was probably film while moored in port. I remember doing the same thing a nub my first year on the boat. I was in an old Discovery film called "Sharks of Steel". We filmed about 90% of that while next to the dock. Only the maneuvers were done underway and in the Puget sound area. Are the camo dress called NWU? Thanks later
@@grast5150 yup the camos are the NWU or the Navy Working Uniform. It’s the uniform we wear when doing dirty work or standing watch on the boat in port. We wear the service uniform when going into an office setting or a less formal even that our dress uniforms wouldn’t be needed
no jumpsuits anymore???
I love subs and kudos to all you sailors, but you’d never get me on that tin can. Nope.
A 'tin can' is actually a reference to the older Destroyers.
Why do submariners refer to them as boats versus ships?
@Stop Racism Thank you for the explanation. I think the Coast Guard refers to their vessels as boats.
Because you can put a boat on a ship, but cannot put a ship on a boat.
If any of you experts can design camo that blends in with missile tubes I'm sure our gov't is all ears.
Very impressive! And, I mean that in a good way. I will also say that it is VERY expensive!! Which is why, I believe, Austria does not want to join NATO. They are landlocked and as a neutral country they do not have, need, or even want a navy. They have no problems with not having a Navy and not having to spend anything on such an institution. If they joined NATO then some of their annual dues would go to a navy.
That's why France quit NATO and kicked US Troops out of France.....1952-4???
I went down in a submarine deeper than that thing goes. 😛
Medic/corpsman reminds me of Edward Norton lol.
And they wear camouflage why exactly?
It's so the DEMS in Govt, git their kick backs. And make the Sailors SWEAT Their ass off..
"50% Nylon just creates "HEAT EXHAUSTION"!
And you sweat twice as much. Makes you more conductive in an "ARC FLASH" somewhere on the boat.....
You have to wear a uniform while on shift. The camouflage uniform is comfortable, has lots of pockets, is hard to stain, and. Does not need ironing. The tan shirt and slacks are made of polyester, stains easily, and is hot and not breathable, and requires ironing and starching. Now, what uniform would you choose to wear?
The guy is wrong when he says thay no one individual can be an expert on everything about the boat....if you don't then you will not qualify for your dolphins, and more often than not you will be transferred off the boat and the Navy will put you somewhere else.
This will also go on your permanent record too.
No. Being an expert and knowing the basics about something are totally different. Compared to someone not on the sub, they might seem like experts but a nuke engineer isn't going to know a whole lot about torpedos.
I believe his statement is correct. Like a cook is going to be an expert on the nuclear reactor or the Corpsman is going to be an expert on firing torpedoes. Each member has to have a working knowledge of all systems onboard a Sub. Just like getting ESWS, have to have knowledge of the whole ship in order to qualify but you better be an expert at your specific job or others will suffer because of it.
@@okiesailor5417 ESWS doesn't make you an expert, though. You might know the types of missiles on board and their range but you wouldn't have any idea how they work or how to even fire one. There is no need to know that unless you work in that department. Lived it so I know the deal.
I also lived it for 20 years, so yes I also know the deal. I didn't say ESWS made you an expert, I said you better be an expert at your specific job. When I was in, our ESWS quals required some knowledge of all aspects of a ships operations from way down in engineering all the way to the signal bridge, not just your specific job.
@@okiesailor5417 I think we are saying the same thing. I didn't qualify ESWS but I did 99% of my qual card before I got out. I was a nuke engineer and had to qualify on every system in the engine room. The qual process for ESWS was a bit of a joke in comparison. The reason I didn't finish it was because I was uninspired by the symbol. I got 99% of my card signed just by walking around and talking to people. I wasn't an expert on any of that stuff but I could easily pass the board based on what others had reported. I only did the 99% because the XO required some percentage per week... then I got out. Anyway, if you were in 20 yrs you know that NO ONE on a sub is going to be an expert on everything. The sub is huge and no human can possibly know enough about everything on it to be considered an expert. Maybe an expert compared to some average Joe on the street. But, if you take 100 guys that work in the nuke engine room (who are probably the smartest on the ship) and ask them to drive the sub out of port and dive to 100ft I guarantee you they douldn't do it without crashing into something.
"what do carry on board?". "blah blah blah NARCOTICS IV SOLUTION" "Lemme stop you right there. Hook it up"
... so necessary to wear camouflage combat clothing when you're on a submarine
Man, boomers have sooooo much space compared to the attacks boats
So guys in a submarine under the water wear camouflage. Okay. Makes real sense
No they were coveralls, like it makes any difference.
If we towed behind the sub a mini shopping mall and farm and living quarter then we is scare of 5 star war
Is that Windows 7 on the medical PC? Thats not good.
Look out Army and AirForce. The Navy is looking to eliminate both of competing branches.
Clearly there's a lot of bumming going on
Something weird about being underwater in a sub with bunch of dudes for months at a time 🙄
Not to mention the incentive pay they get for being on a sub.
Why are they wearing camouflage? Ugly and pointless and it looks ridiculous on a ship at sea. What happened to smart navy uniforms? Bring them back.
I know right, they can barely see eachother
1:04 2 Motrin for everything
You're joking me, right ? 😬
Great questions. What're you a defense attorney? Get the hell outta here. Show some respect.
guy said nucular twice
I noticed that HM1(SS) Romero isn't wearing his dolphins. When I was in, and as soon as I qualified in submarines, I made sure that my dolphins that I worked hard for were always on me. I would rather wear a uniform without my name on it then wear one without my dolphins. Hopefully, he fixed his uniform after the interview.
ETV2(SS) Glenn Scroggins
Maybe he was still a nonqual?
@@jaffsharp769 That's a possibility, but I have my doubts. If he was still working on his dolphins, anyone else already qualified could have done the interview.
