    I live next to the British Underwater Test and Evaluation Centre, (BUTEC), on the NW coast of Scotland. I actually worked there when I left school. It’s a place where our own Navy and other Navies send their weapons, ships and submarines for testing and seeing submarines pop up out of the water and slink past the village is something pretty cool. Watching underwater torpedos being hoisted from the water into a net suspended from a helicopter is also pretty cool. HMS Astute ran aground up here a few years ago and I felt so bad for the crew as many boats have done the same. The Royal Navy also sends its Mine Clearance divers up here as the water is very deep and clear and perfect for training. I think submariners are incredible - spending months at a time below the surface, not seeing daylight or feeling fresh air and wind blow onto your face and hair must take incredible commitment. Living cheek to jowl with other folk for so long too…..they deserve respect for what many couldn’t do without cracking up. Think of those poor souls of the Thresher or the Kursk and how they died….that must play on the mind of a submarine crew when they do depth tests etc and they still manage to rock up and carry out duties. Our Perisher course for Submarine Commanders is the best in the world and I genuinely believe our Royal Navy is the highest standard of excellence in the Submarine world.

    • @krashd
      @krashd 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The average length of a patrol varies depending on mission, location and the condition of the sub but is usually between three and six months with the longest in Royal Navy history being 11 months, though on that patrol only seven submariners completed the full duration as the crew were swapped out in groups of 40 so that 120 of the sailors who went out with the sub were not the ones that brought it home.
      Patrols of that length and with crew changes can only happen on an attack sub as they can return to the surface whenever they want unless ordered not to so resupplying them is not an issue, an attack sub crew is also allowed weekly contact with family in the form of 120-word telegrams. The newer Astute-class and the old-but-bold Trafalgar-class are attack subs.
      The ballistic subs are a different story, they cannot surface for any reason as their entire existence depends on finding a safe place to hide from enemy attack subs and to stay there for the full six months waiting for a signal to nuke somebody. They have no contact with the surface for the entire duration so if a crew member dies aboard on the first day they get put in the freezer for six months, and their family doesn't find out until the sub comes home. The Vanguard-class are ballistic subs.

    Sadly submariners are paid really poorly compared to the national average and the amount of duties the seaman branch does per week compared to others puts them over the normal working week hours. The pension has also been slashed. There isn’t much incentive anymore since they removed submarine pay. Also the old submarine pay should reflect in your pension but they screwed the submariners out of that too. You would have to be desperate to join submarines now. I guess that’s why they have lowered to the entry standard to a historical level!
