I spent over 23 Years on Submarines in my US Navy career. During that time I spent more than 17 1/2 of those years at sea away from my family. Missed a large amount of Family functions, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Births, and Deaths. Was at sea for 9/11. Submariners are a special kind of person. We rely on each other to make sure the number of dives equals the number of surfaces. Each and every crew member knows that if there is a casualty onboard, we will do everything in our power to correct it and save the boat. Would do it all over again. ETRCS(SS), USN RET.

My boy, Kevin, has been a Submariner for almost 12 years now. You do not know how hard it can be. My MOST respect and accolades to the Submariners. He is set to do sea trials later this year SSN Massachusetts SSN-798.
Honestly, it's refreshing to see this comment. I think you'd understand better than most people here. Everyone thinks the hardest part is being underwater or being cramped like that. But that's nothing. Especially not compared to the daily grind. Even the easiest jobs I've seen on subs are ridiculous compared to most civilian jobs, but then you get to the lives of and the expectations placed on all the nuclear operators and the officers... it's not an easy life. I simultaneously love my work and hate my job.
One observation about a sailor being on a submarine is that the sailors are working, eating, living and sleeping in the confines of a specialized machine that travels underwater. They are inside this machine for the duration of their mission and basically cut off from the rest of the world. It must take special people to handle this type of living conditions.
Submariners either are, or become, a very special breed. Let me put it like this, if you're out to sea and a family member dies you won't know about it until you step on dry land again. There are no communications and safety protocols prevent it. I know a guy who was a submariner, the longest trip he did was 9 months. Even he admitted he became a bit weird after that. 9 months and it's essentially a different world you're coming back to, 9 months of missed news.

COOL VIDEO WHERES THE SAAB SUB GONE ? WHY IS AMERICA LAYING THE KEEL FOR SWEDEN ? SORRY I JUST GOT CONFUSED A BIT WITH THEIR GOOD WORK AT 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT SUBS WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE , THEY COMMISSIONED A SWEDISH SUB IN AMERICA AND YOU THINK ITS A COOL VIDEO...... REALLY . BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWEDEN AND U.S IN SUBS MY FRIEND OR DID YOU NOTICE THE US LAYING THE KEEL FOR SWEDEN ? GOD
Its unfathomable to me how humans today are able to build such a thing , 2000 years ago we still used the horse for transportation, the last 100 years humans have made incredible achievements, in science and technology, now we have the internet, fiber network, capable of incredible speeds . Now We can build submarines and aircraft carriers. It’s unbelievable how far humans species have come in a 100 years , imagine at this rate what we have in 100 years from now . I think we will be able to travel to other stars and planets in the next 200 years
@ Kim Schneider, If you are happy with your life then you made the right choice. You probably wouldn't be married to the man you're married to, you wouldn't have his family in your life. I'm a former US Marine, I went to proudly serve my country and nothing else. I'm in the architectural industry, there is nothing I learned from the USMC that transferred over into my industry, I'm okay with that. You should be proud that you at least considered it
@@PurpleObscuration thanks for the reply. Just a couple things though. I’m a man, not a woman. I have a wife and two great kids. But your right about life’s path. Like the butterfly effect, one event no matter how small in one’s lifespan can change the trajectory of their life. So yes, I guess I wouldn’t change a thing.
Bull. You can’t carry enough suppliesto stay underwater that long. Ever since nukes joined the fleet Patrol (assuming you are a fast attack) ever may last 6 months or more, but your generally bouncing in and out of port showing the flag.
Bullcrap. I've sailed in Nuc Subs and you carry around 90 days of stores. 30 days of which is emergency store and you really don't want to be eating those as all the good stuff has already been eaten. (50 years later I still can't look at a 3 bean salad) Deployment may last 6 months, (my old boat did an 11 month deployment but only remained submerged for around 60 days at a time.) but the need to reload stores is every few months. Really, learn your shit before you open your mouth.
@@bammab977 they managed to re-supply them with mainly the basic survivial supplies/food, and a few extras so they had what they needed to stay underwater. Yes, this made it hard on several crew members, but they stuck with it.
Nope, 6 months under water without surfacing does not occur because of food supplies that need to be replenished - even being highly creative and stretching food supplies, 6 months straight is not possible due to the size of the crew.
@@LiPo5000 So, what boats you sailed in that makes you so informed? How many days you been submerged? How deep you been? What was your longest underwater deployment?
All the money couldn't pay me to be on a submarine but I thank the sailors who work hard and put their lives in harms way to defend our freedom. Btw, as a retired Navy , my preference are destroyers and cruisers. Go Navy!!
$4 billion US sub. Spends first few minutes talking about Saab and Swedish sub. Huh? Then suddenly all about US Subs. I think editor missed their coffee at the start
Kinda sad you lot are. Did you miss the part about Saab producing submarines across 7 continents? Also, the sub is owned by the US. Please refrain from leaving shit comments without actually paying attention to the video
@@bluemicrobe7744 but SAAB doesn’t make subs for USA, GDEB does. It’s clearly a mix up of two different stories. Saab might make some sun systems but not the whole sub.
@@TheMelbournelad OKAY, I agree it was a mix up and quite random. It’s free content anyway and the transition isn’t hidden you can tell where it is so no information is getting mixed up. I found it quite informative for a free video and a little mix up isn’t something to shun them over.
I have complete admiration, respect and appreciation to all U.S. Navy personnel who serve and have served. Love them all, and I thank you all very much! This is a great video; very informative, I just have one issue with the flow of information. The video begins with a U.S. Navy submarine on the surface showing its Colors (US Flag) and then jumps to SAAB a Swedish company that designs and builds truly incredible world class submarines. Then the video jumps to the commissioning ceremony of a U.S. Navy submarine without stating that the U.S. Navy Subs are designed by General Dynamics Electric Boat Company & Huntington Ingalls Industries and are constructed by New Port News Shipbuilding, all in the US. 100% United States of America. The video is 11:16 minuets long, add a few more seconds and state that the U.S. Navy Virginia Class submarines have nothing to do with Sweden and SAAB Industries. Just saying….
I'm clostrophobic and I've inspected many types of marine military vessels.A Submariner is a special individual whose sensory deprivation is reduced to surface,sub,mission and fresh air.I can't imagine a prison at or in the sea; this is it.
My dad served with a guy in the submarines that had claustrophobia. None of them know why, but this guy was just determined to be a submariner. Anytime he had a panic attack, they just knocked him out lol.
I love this stuff my dad was in the Royal Australia navy for 20 years spewing I was a dumb kid😢Legends all these people love from Melbourne Australia 👍🙏
Thanks, guys, for another outstanding video. Even as a Navy vet from long ago, I still appreciate what our fine young men and women are doing each day as they serve our country.
Just so it is clear, a foreign entity is not manufacturing US Subs. They should have stressed this in the video as it leaves an impression that they are. Ex-bubblehead here and proud of my service. Haze Gray and Away to all my fellow submariners. SSBN-625 Gold.
One thing I’m going to dispel is the myth that submarines had great food ie better than the surface guys. Most skimmers and bubble heads don’t go onto the others ships so this myth persists. Near the end of my career I worked as a rider for SUBLANT being farmed out to a DESRON as a sub liaison for water space management. I rode Perry’s Burkes and Ticos. I also rode with NATO in an Italian flagship. I was surprised with the quality of the food onboard. Some were ok and some were amazing. BTW having an open bar in the mess decks on the Italian ship was a big plus.
You need to be a different breed of person to handle being a submariner. Could not pay me enough to spend months at a time inside a metal tube in the ocean lol. Mad respect to the ones who do.
It's overwhelmingly amazing and scary af , a pure combination of a deadly beast. I'm pretty sure even the people operating them on a daily basis don't understand what kind of savage machine they're using. Art at its finest ❤️ the pinnacle of human imagination.
Not really. Submariners have to qualify to continue serving onboard. You have roughly 1-year to earn your qualification. If you fail, you are shipped off to the surface fleet. That being said, the qualification is comprised of every system on board, electrical & mechanical. You MUST learn and understand how every system works and is interconnected with other systems. Learning how one failed component can cause multiple problems throughout the boat. You must learn damage control technique, how the internal ventilation system is designed, everything about the emergency recovery systems, how the reactor systems work, memorize how the waters systems are designed and what modes and operations are performed by it. This isn’t just the mechanical rates, everyone on board has to have a basic knowledge of the submarines entire systems to stay and work on board. The funny part is this, those qualifications are just the “basic knowledge required”, you have to build on that knowledge to qualify higher level watch stations.
I have looked everywhere to try and confirm that the Virginia-class submarines are made anywhere else other than in the USA. From Wikipedia: "The Virginia class is built through an industrial arrangement designed to maintain both GD Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding, the only two U.S. shipyards capable of building nuclear-powered submarines. Under the present arrangement, the Newport News facility builds the stern, habitability, machinery spaces, torpedo room, sail, and bow, while Electric Boat builds the engine room and control room. The facilities alternate work on the reactor plant as well as the final assembly, test, outfit, and delivery." I SEE NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE BUILT BY SAAB. SAAB builds subs. Just not for the USA. (The video never actually claimed that the Virginia-class submarines are made by SAAB)
they are not, Saab does build some Diesel powered subs , but not for the US Navy. This whole video is just a bunch of irrelevent facts taken from different videos. Pointless.
I don't remember ever having that much steak on my boats . Not enough freezer space for a 90-day load out with all that we needed for a balanced menu . CHOP would've been in trouble for that one.
@@pedrosalazar4748 Could be a result of the times. I was in 1964 to 1970. Also it may have depended on who your skipper was. Out Capt was a WW II white hat who got Academy trained as an officer. Also towards the end of my enlistment porkchops were starting to be assigned to boats vs a Jr line officer as Supply. Ours ended up as having come off a DD almost right to the boat. Proved to be pretty much of a Dick.
Dude take a polaroid of his submarine out of pride and gets dishonorably discharge and prosecuted.. But joe schmoes can do entire videos showing the inside and missile doors open and the like and its all fine and dandy....
OK, so now I have even more respect for those in the U.S. Navy who work on a submarine!!!!!! Only question in my mind, besides what's for dinner, is since the mess hall is where they cook, how does the cooking appliances (stove, ovens, etc.) vent out the exhaust when the sub is submerged for so long?
I'd say recycling or pumping it in the heat/cold system. Or going up once and again to pump it out without too much pression? O simply putting it in some torpedo and launch it as it is?
This is a great question. So all the air in the submarine gets recirculated while submerged. All of the grill exhaust that you're talking about goes into the fan room and recirculates with the rest of the air. There is equipment on board that cleans the recycled air and removes the toxins and harmful gases from the air. Fresh air replaces the old stale air when the submarine comes up to snorkel or comes to the surface.
Man I just don't know how submariners do it. Sewer pipe Sailors have a very difficult Iife l think. 2 months underway underwater would be jail. I don't know how they do it. More power to them.
Some people are just wired different. I know people who prefer to be indoors with all their windows covered and no fresh air, to being outside in the elements. I am not one of those people. I go nuts after one day indoors.
@@webbtrekker534, The guys at the front lines should be getting the best pay. BTW, I was stationed for a while at a US Marine Corp base that had a cook school (Camp Johnson, North Carolina) boy, did we eat well
"Aruugah! Aruugah! Dive! Dive!" Wanna see a great WWII submarine flick? 'Run Silent, Run Deep' with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster and a supporting cast of great character actors ! 5 stars!
They're the best at what they do, the primary purpose purpose of the military is to fight when needed to defend our country. Many of you may not know this, but the US Marine Corp is in the department of the US Navy, the US Marine Corp is the best prepared fighting force in our Nations and in the world, traditionally Marines end through the sea, secure territory for the army and sometimes the air force. When that has been accomplished they leave through the sea. Marines are Americas amphibious force
I am commenting about the food. I have a culinary background. Several vacation cruises I have had great dining. This galley seems to be a "cafeteria" style. Very difficult to maintain quality. The back of the line can be a real hustle. Keep it fresh, appealing, and fast, while keeping waste to a minimum. Very difficult, dumpster or compost? I've been there. Not many options here. From this vid, it looks great. These long-term deep-sea sailors deserve the best. Yes! the best. The USN realizes that good eats are a morale builder. Anchors Aweigh!

SORRY I JUST GOT CONFUSED A BIT WITH THEIR GOOD WORK AT 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT SUBS WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE , THEY COMMISSIONED A SWEDISH SUB IN AMERICA AND YOU THINK ITS A COOL VIDEO...... REALLY . BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWEDEN AND U.S IN SUBS MY FRIEND OR DID YOU NOTICE THE US LAYING THE KEEL FOR SWEDEN ? GOD
Its unfathomable to me how humans today are able to build such a thing , 2000 years ago we still used the horse for transportation, the last 100 years humans have made incredible achievements, in science and technology, now we have the internet, fiber network, capable of incredible speeds . Now We can build submarines and aircraft carriers. It’s unbelievable how far humans species have come in a 100 years , imagine at this rate what we have in 100 years from now . I think we will be able to travel to other stars and planets in the next 200 years
Wonderful machines. If I was young again I’d jump at the chance to serve on one.
You had your chance, you blew that opportunity
Nahh.. All peoples just a same. Live to love much better
@@PurpleObscuration pretty sure he knows that man. I don’t even think your comment was necessary.
@ Kim Schneider,
If you are happy with your life then you made the right choice. You probably wouldn't be married to the man you're married to, you wouldn't have his family in your life.
I'm a former US Marine, I went to proudly serve my country and nothing else. I'm in the architectural industry, there is nothing I learned from the USMC that transferred over into my industry, I'm okay with that.
You should be proud that you at least considered it
@@PurpleObscuration thanks for the reply. Just a couple things though. I’m a man, not a woman. I have a wife and two great kids. But your right about life’s path. Like the butterfly effect, one event no matter how small in one’s lifespan can change the trajectory of their life. So yes, I guess I wouldn’t change a thing.
From experience as a RN caterer I spent most of my time teaching the crew basic table manners, courtesy and hygiene!
This is a job that I definitely could not do. I just cannot comprehend the pressures of living on a submarine.
Pun?

The life on a sub starts at 7:32. You are welcome
nice video
Back in the time of the Iran hostage situation sub patrols lasted six months underwater, and sailors received credit for two yrs. Service.
Bull. You can’t carry enough suppliesto stay underwater that long. Ever since nukes joined the fleet
Patrol (assuming you are a fast attack) ever may last 6 months or more, but your generally bouncing in and out of port showing the flag.
Bullcrap. I've sailed in Nuc Subs and you carry around 90 days of stores. 30 days of which is emergency store and you really don't want to be eating those as all the good stuff has already been eaten. (50 years later I still can't look at a 3 bean salad) Deployment may last 6 months, (my old boat did an 11 month deployment but only remained submerged for around 60 days at a time.) but the need to reload stores is every few months. Really, learn your shit before you open your mouth.
@@bammab977 they managed to re-supply them with mainly the basic survivial supplies/food, and a few extras so they had what they needed to stay underwater. Yes, this made it hard on several crew members, but they stuck with it.
Nope, 6 months under water without surfacing does not occur because of food supplies that need to be replenished - even being highly creative and stretching food supplies, 6 months straight is not possible due to the size of the crew.
@@LiPo5000 So, what boats you sailed in that makes you so informed? How many days you been submerged? How deep you been? What was your longest underwater deployment?
I don't know how they don't go crazy doing nothing but work. I'd lose my mind.
A Mars bar was the most precious thing to me on the ship, Reese peanut butter cups was a close second, pizza ALWAYS makes people brighten up!
Man all those make u fat...
Only fhocas target fhast trrek aatek sacses point super 🌟 speed 🌟 king 🌟 best 🌟
All the money couldn't pay me to be on a submarine but I thank the sailors who work hard and put their lives in harms way to defend our freedom. Btw, as a retired Navy , my preference are destroyers and cruisers. Go Navy!!
This should be called life outside a 4 billion dollar submarine
$4 billion US sub. Spends first few minutes talking about Saab and Swedish sub. Huh? Then suddenly all about US Subs. I think editor missed their coffee at the start
It's all around pretty sloppy writing. I don't think they care. It's all about clicks, not about accuracy.
Oh shut up
Kinda sad you lot are. Did you miss the part about Saab producing submarines across 7 continents? Also, the sub is owned by the US. Please refrain from leaving shit comments without actually paying attention to the video
@@bluemicrobe7744 but SAAB doesn’t make subs for USA, GDEB does.
It’s clearly a mix up of two different stories.
Saab might make some sun systems but not the whole sub.
@@TheMelbournelad OKAY, I agree it was a mix up and quite random. It’s free content anyway and the transition isn’t hidden you can tell where it is so no information is getting mixed up.
I found it quite informative for a free video and a little mix up isn’t something to shun them over.

Cheerleader.
Life inside one these things probably sucks. But, as long as the food is good, and I have plenty of books to read, it might not be so bad.
I have complete admiration, respect and appreciation to all U.S. Navy personnel who serve and have served. Love them all, and I thank you all very much! This is a great video; very informative, I just have one issue with the flow of information. The video begins with a U.S. Navy submarine on the surface showing its Colors (US Flag) and then jumps to SAAB a Swedish company that designs and builds truly incredible world class submarines. Then the video jumps to the commissioning ceremony of a U.S. Navy submarine without stating that the U.S. Navy Subs are designed by General Dynamics Electric Boat Company & Huntington Ingalls Industries and are constructed by New Port News Shipbuilding, all in the US. 100% United States of America. The video is 11:16 minuets long, add a few more seconds and state that the U.S. Navy Virginia Class submarines have nothing to do with Sweden and SAAB Industries. Just saying….
Yeah... I was going to mention the same thing, until I saw that over two million people watched it and obviously did not care...
You have an IQ of four.
6:02 AYYY my boat finally made it to a TH-cam video!
I'm clostrophobic and I've inspected many types of marine military vessels.A Submariner is a special individual whose sensory deprivation is reduced to surface,sub,mission and fresh air.I can't imagine a prison at or in the sea; this is it.
Clostrophobic?? Come on...learn to write it at least...
You're 💯
My dad served with a guy in the submarines that had claustrophobia. None of them know why, but this guy was just determined to be a submariner. Anytime he had a panic attack, they just knocked him out lol.
I can’t believe people exist that can make that a reality..wow
A big thank you for their service to our armed forces...
Thank them with your tongue.
Ok ma'am.
I love this stuff my dad was in the Royal Australia navy for 20 years spewing I was a dumb kid😢Legends all these people love from Melbourne Australia 👍🙏
Nice video of the Virginia Class Submarine. The United States has a great/formidable navy.
YMCA!
@@teeess9551 LOL..i'm sure some of that goes on.
@@johniii8147 well, from this video, there are apparently women now. Who thought that was a good idea. 97 men. 3 women. In a tin can for 6 months.
Wonderfull machines!!!!!
Thanks, guys, for another outstanding video. Even as a Navy vet from long ago, I still appreciate what our fine young men and women are doing each day as they serve our country.
Just so it is clear, a foreign entity is not manufacturing US Subs. They should have stressed this in the video as it leaves an impression that they are. Ex-bubblehead here and proud of my service. Haze Gray and Away to all my fellow submariners. SSBN-625 Gold.
One thing I’m going to dispel is the myth that submarines had great food ie better than the surface guys. Most skimmers and bubble heads don’t go onto the others ships so this myth persists. Near the end of my career I worked as a rider for SUBLANT being farmed out to a DESRON as a sub liaison for water space management. I rode Perry’s Burkes and Ticos. I also rode with NATO in an Italian flagship. I was surprised with the quality of the food onboard. Some were ok and some were amazing. BTW having an open bar in the mess decks on the Italian ship was a big plus.
You need to be a different breed of person to handle being a submariner. Could not pay me enough to spend months at a time inside a metal tube in the ocean lol.
Mad respect to the ones who do.
What an excellent informative video! Thanks.
President Carter was a great Submariner. He signed my hard hat when he came to the USS Jimmy Carter sea wolf commissioning.
The shots of the sea, and the ocean, are mesmerizing.
Simpleton
To think that right now in the middle of the Pacific ocean, deep below the water, someone is baking a fresh pizza.
It's overwhelmingly amazing and scary af , a pure combination of a deadly beast. I'm pretty sure even the people operating them on a daily basis don't understand what kind of savage machine they're using. Art at its finest ❤️ the pinnacle of human imagination.
Not really. Submariners have to qualify to continue serving onboard. You have roughly 1-year to earn your qualification. If you fail, you are shipped off to the surface fleet. That being said, the qualification is comprised of every system on board, electrical & mechanical. You MUST learn and understand how every system works and is interconnected with other systems. Learning how one failed component can cause multiple problems throughout the boat. You must learn damage control technique, how the internal ventilation system is designed, everything about the emergency recovery systems, how the reactor systems work, memorize how the waters systems are designed and what modes and operations are performed by it. This isn’t just the mechanical rates, everyone on board has to have a basic knowledge of the submarines entire systems to stay and work on board. The funny part is this, those qualifications are just the “basic knowledge required”, you have to build on that knowledge to qualify higher level watch stations.
If I ever was going to get in a submarine and stay down there for 3 to 6 months, they better have a bar ,load it with beer and tequila lol
1 Tequila
2 Tequila
3 Tequila

I have looked everywhere to try and confirm that the Virginia-class submarines are made anywhere else other than in the USA. From Wikipedia: "The Virginia class is built through an industrial arrangement designed to maintain both GD Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding, the only two U.S. shipyards capable of building nuclear-powered submarines. Under the present arrangement, the Newport News facility builds the stern, habitability, machinery spaces, torpedo room, sail, and bow, while Electric Boat builds the engine room and control room. The facilities alternate work on the reactor plant as well as the final assembly, test, outfit, and delivery." I SEE NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE BUILT BY SAAB.
SAAB builds subs. Just not for the USA. (The video never actually claimed that the Virginia-class submarines are made by SAAB)
U.S. subs are 100% U.S. built. Very few parts are sourced from LCGs and none of critical nature.
they are not, Saab does build some Diesel powered subs , but not for the US Navy. This whole video is just a bunch of irrelevent facts taken from different videos. Pointless.
🥱
Damn , I really miss "pizza night" ! . . .
Italian night wasn't bad either
I liked the fact we had steak three times a week on my boat. Loved those Rib Eyes!!!
I don't remember ever having that much steak on my boats . Not enough freezer space for a 90-day load out with all that we needed for a balanced menu . CHOP would've been in trouble for that one.
@@pedrosalazar4748 Could be a result of the times. I was in 1964 to 1970. Also it may have depended on who your skipper was. Out Capt was a WW II white hat who got Academy trained as an officer. Also towards the end of my enlistment porkchops were starting to be assigned to boats vs a Jr line officer as Supply. Ours ended up as having come off a DD almost right to the boat. Proved to be pretty much of a Dick.
Dude take a polaroid of his submarine out of pride and gets dishonorably discharge and prosecuted.. But joe schmoes can do entire videos showing the inside and missile doors open and the like and its all fine and dandy....
Essa tecnologia tem que ser usada para proteger a vida marítima...

even surface ships use dry docks if it involves hull repairs or maintenance or something with the props or shafts
I most definitely enjoyed it you guys always bring out some really interesting material keep up the hard work thanks for your efforts
Their efforts are performed flawlessly on a minute by minute daily basis.
I have the highest respect for these submariners.
Thanks for your service.
I was a Marine for 20 years but wanted to do the Navy. Damn recruiter was never around lol.
OK, so now I have even more respect for those in the U.S. Navy who work on a submarine!!!!!! Only question in my mind, besides what's for dinner, is since the mess hall is where they cook, how does the cooking appliances (stove, ovens, etc.) vent out the exhaust when the sub is submerged for so long?
I'd say recycling or pumping it in the heat/cold system. Or going up once and again to pump it out without too much pression? O simply putting it in some torpedo and launch it as it is?
Just move the exhaust fumes to a separate chamber, and then release the fumes from the chamber.
This is a great question. So all the air in the submarine gets recirculated while submerged. All of the grill exhaust that you're talking about goes into the fan room and recirculates with the rest of the air. There is equipment on board that cleans the recycled air and removes the toxins and harmful gases from the air. Fresh air replaces the old stale air when the submarine comes up to snorkel or comes to the surface.
This submarine looks spacious compare to some other.
I know a crew member. He said they eat like kings and are always on duty at a moments notice!
The USA Navy
The Greatest Navy is all ways.
The Greatest Navy in whole world.

Man I just don't know how submariners do it. Sewer pipe Sailors have a very difficult Iife l think. 2 months underway underwater would be jail. I don't know how they do it. More power to them.
Some people are just wired different. I know people who prefer to be indoors with all their windows covered and no fresh air, to being outside in the elements. I am not one of those people. I go nuts after one day indoors.
@@theobserver9131,
Most of the civilized people spend most of their time indoors
That is why we get better food and more pay!
@@webbtrekker534,
The guys at the front lines should be getting the best pay.
BTW, I was stationed for a while at a US Marine Corp base that had a cook school (Camp Johnson, North Carolina) boy, did we eat well
@@PurpleObscuration so what is your point?
I get anxiety just from thinking of no windows or fresh air for consecutive months 🥵
I think I can't sleep every night underwater...................
"Aruugah! Aruugah! Dive! Dive!" Wanna see a great WWII submarine flick? 'Run Silent, Run Deep' with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster and a supporting cast of great character actors ! 5 stars!
Great video guys .
Thanks You to the US NAVY.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !!!
L.GRAHAM ...HAMPTON, VIRGINIA !!!
They're the best at what they do, the primary purpose purpose of the military is to fight when needed to defend our country. Many of you may not know this, but the US Marine Corp is in the department of the US Navy, the US Marine Corp is the best prepared fighting force in our Nations and in the world, traditionally Marines end through the sea, secure territory for the army and sometimes the air force. When that has been accomplished they leave through the sea. Marines are Americas amphibious force
Submarines are like underwater ships.
My next older brother was a lifer and chief on nuke boats. He was on duty during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
I am commenting about the food. I have a culinary background. Several vacation cruises I have had great dining. This galley seems to be a "cafeteria" style. Very difficult to maintain quality.
The back of the line can be a real hustle. Keep it fresh, appealing, and fast, while keeping waste to a minimum. Very difficult, dumpster or compost? I've been there. Not many options here.
From this vid, it looks great. These long-term deep-sea sailors deserve the best. Yes! the best.
The USN realizes that good eats are a morale builder. Anchors Aweigh!
No, they don't "make" water and oxygen. They extract oxygen from water, and they purify saltwater.
@Blob B your name is fitting.
