I'm retired U.S. Navy Helicopter Aircrewman-Rescue Swimmer. When I first graduated from the 4 schools I had to complete, our job ASW. I volunteered for a 4 day crew swap. I went on a L.A. class fast attack sub.(I'm from Bham Al and the sub was the U.S.S. Birmingham SSN 695). Anywho, it was fun for 4 days. Learned a lot by but nah, claustrophobic lol. The ID s video is correct, the chow was AWESOME
9:52 I served on a nuclear submarine tender in Guam back in 1973. Boy, things have progressed since then, starting with women serving on board subs. Most civilians don’t realize that the US has mobile nuclear missile launch platforms patrolling the globe 365 days a year. This serves an incredible deterrent to Putin should he do something stupid. This makes each $4 billion sub worth every penny! We should all rest easier knowing this fact.
It was 100% the best thing for me at 18, I was a wreck less wild man lol. Appreciate your service. I only got to do 3 trident patrols, 2 on Ohio and 1 on Nevada, then right back to the SSBN to SSGN conversion in the shipyards lol.
I was on a boomer from 1979 1980 but we did not have women on board. Different time it was fun I was young I felt patriotic I loved my country I was proud to serve-----Congratulations Rigged ELECTIONS FRAUD IMPEACHMENT I am no longer proud to serve I have more respect for Russia now they do not pretend to be righteous while lying cheating stealing they are forced no pretend freedom Maybe we should not be proud to be war heros killing people
Air Force 26 year veteran here so much respect for our Navy Submarine people I could not do that job. Hats off to you guys keeping our country safe when the homeland sleeps at night and keeps our enemies awake ..
22 years in the Navy. 13 of which was on subs. Each and every man on those boats was smarter than the average bear. Every man was a brother and could be counted on to his job flawlessly.
Well, then I guess they were better than the guys in the Army infantry, lol. Was the food as good as the video shows? If so, better than Army mess halls.
Awesome Jim!! Thanks for your service!! My biggest regret not going in The Navy!! Joined NYPD at 21 and even though still could have joined at some point life just got in the way!!
Looking back at life as an old retired non military, I regret not having the guts to join the Navy. I didn’t swim. Pretty sure the sub guys are expected to at least swim. So when I say that my family and I are very grateful for your service and all those who serve. Where I worked, we were pissed if we had bad paper cut.
I remember taking a ferry from Long Island to Connecticut with my motorcycle when I was 17 (1987) .......gazing and daydreaming during the short trip a "submarine" decided to surface very close !!!!!.........Scared the crap out of me , looked like a megalodon shark bursting out of the water !!!!........kind of frightening but very cool to witness after realizing what it was .......lol .........Erik
In 1965 we were in a Japanese port drinking when shore patrol quickly rounded us all up to escape to our ship. The locals were upset about a nuke sub in port. I'll never forget, as our little shuttle boat was gliding along about midnight, that we came upon the sub, and what an Erie sight it was. It was like a sea creature lurking for prey. Today the Japanese welcome our subs but it was a whole different experience back then.
I certainly admire and appreciate all the men and women in our submarine force. It must be incredibly hard to be isolated for long stretches of time! I'm quite certain that I couldn't do what they do every day, and words are not adequate to describe the respect I feel. May God bless you every one of your days! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Not all heroes wear capes. Those submariners are superman. There is no way in hell I could live in a tube underwater for months at a time crammed in that tiny little space with all those other people with no sunshine and no fresh air. I'd go bat crap crazy. I salute all of you submariners.
I've had really cool career that has afforded me much, but this is definitely on my list of "if I could do it all over again." Not sure I would last for careers, and mentally and physically so rigorous, but I'd SO love to give it a whirl for a few months. I've worked with several submariners and have heard some amazing stories - then you watch a video like this and it's hard not to get a little giddy...
Nice Video. Of course nothing from the engine room as everything is classified. I am a Plank Owner on the USS Silversides SSN 679. ETN/ Reactor Operator. Our food pretty much sucked. I also served on the USS Vancouver LPD-2. WesPac 1969 into 1970. We ate Good!
Подводные силы это мужество ,сам служил в " осином гнезде" во времена СССР. Ходили к курильским островам обеспечивали стрельбу лодки баллистической ракетой ,записывали её полёт телеметрия начиная от залпа до конца полета ракеты ,подводный старт.
Personally I don’t think I could fit in there! I think every one who serves in a submarine sure has my respect and they should have a medal for them that serve on a submarine!! God Bless each one of those that serve !🙏🏼☕️☕️
I give ALL the Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ Who is God and His Holy Ghost 🙌🏿✝️🧎🏽 the One who laid down His Life, only to Take it back again 3 days later, for the Forgiveness of sins of those who believe.
Agreed. Visited the Nautilus a month ago. Well worth a visit. Tiny compared to modern boats, and a travel back in time to the days before computers. I had a great afternoon exploring... Uncle was a submariner out of Groton his entire adult life...
✨♥️looove that the food is so amazing and the wall images of beautiful outdoor scenes for the crew✨♥️ what a dizzyingly complex vessel.. just incredible
OK, let's not get carried away. Other countries have similar toys. The US has a formidable navy but not compared to the combined strength of its perceived rivals and enemies. Real wars are never idealised one on one encounters. Just saying.
It's a good thing it is a volunteer service because there is no way in hell I'd want to be crammed in a tube months on end under the sea. Much respect though.
A great subject, although maybe we shouldn’t show and share any information to countries that don’t have our best interest , if you know what I mean……. My father was a sailor in ww2, and he had a saying “ loose lips, sinks ships”. Maybe a word to the wise……
These guys are on duty for 24 7 day after day in a controlled limited space while many of us had jobs in the military working 5 8 hour days with weekends off and off base excursions available. I hope they get compensation when off duty to make up for their dedication to this critical duty.
Served on 5 submarines during my career. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, minus ORSE, TRE, drills, and some of the PIA stuff! Oh, and Field Day! Some of the greatest people I know served on the boats!
during the 1980's I proudly ran manual lathes to manufacture the drive shaft of Los Angeles class submarines in Lynwood, California. Those drive shafts are Huge in diameter and length. There is some serious power pushing those big subs through the water.....thick heavy chrome-molly steel that dwarfs almost everything else.....almost. There are some special tricks of the trade needed for Big parts with High Precision
6:04 is this the freaking vestibule of a rescue submersible attached to a nuclear submarine? Like, that looks pretty genuine. I didn't think stuff like this would be released to the public. That is pretty fucking badass.
Back in those days we didn't have videos. I think a well placed video showing our military capabilities could serve as a deterrent for anyone not willing to mess with the power of the US military.
Interesting video, but some of the most interesting information in the VO was not supported by relevant visuals. For example, the technical explanation of the torpedo loading and firing was accompanied by random B-roll of ships blowing up.
I served aboard the USS Bryce Canyon (AD36), a destroyer tender, from ‘66-‘68. Good duty, good chow but doubt I would have liked the confinement of a sub.
Life aboard a $4 billion U.S. nuclear submarine is a blend of advanced technology, rigorous routines, and unique challenges. Despite the physical and psychological demands, the crew members form a resilient and close-knit community, united by their mission and the trust they place in one another.
As acknowledgment for volunteering…(all US Navy Sun crews are volunteer) they famously get the very best chow in the military. Filet, strip, lobster are typical. Rightly so, I reckon. 🤘🏼-former P-3 crew here.
Puddle Pirates making the Navy look good? Formerly of the department of transportation and the only branch with a height requirement. Have to be at a minimum 6’ tall. In case your ship breaks down/DIW you can wade to shore. In sonar “A” school at FLEASWTRACENPAC, San Diego…once we were at the “secret” phase the coast guard students were gone. Very odd I thought.
Submariners are some of the most intelligent sailors in the US Navy.
Especially the Nukes
@@robertborglund5783 LOL says the EN(SS)
They are smarter than your average bear.
that doesn't say much.... The military doesn't exactly attract minds

Thank God , and thanks for mentioning that, puts my mind somewhat at ease with all these wackos running these countries !!!!!🙂............ Erik
Thanks for giving Putin the heads up, submarines are about secrecy doofus
Another war mongering soldout
Putin has subs patrolling the world to deterrent the US to do something equally stupid.
Putin and Russia are not the enemy, the enemy is within.
God bless our Submariner's .❤
submariner's what?
Sub life was awesome! Every patrol was like a camping trip with your best friends, one of the best experiences of my life for sure!
I was a cook on a fast attack. I got to see some countries I wouldn’t have gotten to see, if not for being in the “Silent Service”.
It was 100% the best thing for me at 18, I was a wreck less wild man lol. Appreciate your service. I only got to do 3 trident patrols, 2 on Ohio and 1 on Nevada, then right back to the SSBN to SSGN conversion in the shipyards lol.

A law was passed a few years ago allowing women on the submarine.
@@wilchisaelie2847l
Women and seamen don’t mix.
Great job guys and girls !
Make no mistake this is only propaganda.
These sub guys are a special breed. There is no way I could do what they do. We salute you!
Special for sure. Very much on the spectrum but functional.
Not all heroes wear capes. Those submariners are superman. There is no way in hell I could live in a tube underwater for months at a time crammed in that tiny little space with all those other people with no sunshine and no fresh air. I'd go bat crap crazy. I salute all of you submariners.
I was a cook on a submarine . It's not for everyone. Takes a different kind of brave to even get through the escape training. Bubble heads never die.
I have no idea how you cook in the galley. Just walking through it I go insane at the thought of having to cook lol.
My son is a submariner, most recently on a LA class fast attack. These sailors are of a different breed. Keep an eye out for the dolphins 🤫😉
His brain is washed
SUBMARINES AND THEIR CREWS ROCK!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️

Packed with tech & structurale innovation. A starship of the ocean.⚓🇺🇲⚓
Submariners of whole world is brave which are residing live in water grave. Extraordinary life and valour courage and self confidence.
Us military budget is approx 600bn $, china 300bn$. All the human crisis could be over if such huge defence budget could convert to human development
that's not how the world works pal
God Bless Submariners.
Deus abençoe os submarinos.....kkkkkkkkkkkkk
Eles agradecem , bem como estão preparados para sua autodestruição...e...por extensão...

Salute from the Netherlands, TW.
I was in Holy Loch, Scotland in the Navy 70-71 on a sub tender. We worked on them day and nite when they came in. Very rewarding work
It's amazing what they have been able to pack into one of those tubes ! I wish I could go inside and have a look around.
Your wish is granted. The Nautilus is a museum in Connecticut.
Agreed. Visited the Nautilus a month ago. Well worth a visit. Tiny compared to modern boats, and a travel back in time to the days before computers. I had a great afternoon exploring... Uncle was a submariner out of Groton his entire adult life...
What a great show. Very easy to watch. No drama great information. I like the way he does the show!

Im sure the assyrians thought the same, just as the babylonians, persians, greeks, romans.
@@BeatriceBetts US has the firepower to take on multiple nations. Maybe all of them combined.
A trillion dollars a year and the last war “we” won was Grenada.

@ 1:11...word to anyone narrating a documentary about submarines. Submarines are always referred to as "Boats"....not "Ships".

Well done for mentioning the defensive tomahawk missiles
U.S. navy submarines a surprised element for the foes of America .🔥💪👏👌👍
A nuclear submarine today can end the world as we know it. It is THE most powerful weapons platform in existence today.
Yeah. That and the 69th Tranny brigade out of San Francisco. They’re our secret weapon. The “enemy” will die laughing.

Back in the day of War...no country would dare to make a video showing off all our military equipment.
These subs are becoming obsolete with Virginia class anyway.
Oh they didn’t show all of it 🤪
If this is declassified stuff they’re showing…imagine what they’re NOT showing
Back in those days we didn't have videos. I think a well placed video showing our military capabilities could serve as a deterrent for anyone not willing to mess with the power of the US military.

Couldn't serve in a sub myself...too confined. But that looks like luxury compared to the old diesel boats!
Good 👍
Interesting video, but some of the most interesting information in the VO was not supported by relevant visuals. For example, the technical explanation of the torpedo loading and firing was accompanied by random B-roll of ships blowing up.
I went to prototype school on a submarine. I can't imagine being inside one for three months at a time. I'm glad they send me to a surface ship.
I would literally lose my mind with claustrophobia
same here.. i lost my breath just thinking about it
