This may be confusing to the uninitiated with no commentary, but one of my favorite captures of SSBN life. Just various ambient noises, cutoff bits of conversations, and candid people just hanging out. I'm a bit nostalgic having left the fleet just two years ago, but I'm also reminded of the insane daily grind of passing between the same sets of tubes for months of a time. It was a great experience, but the repetition really gets to you.
Cody Kyser I think these machines are amazing! The amount of stuff going on...engineering awesome. But after watching it and seeing them do that same “step” to get through the tubs, I said hell naw. That is the one thing that would annoy the shit out of me out of everything lol
@@ronaldmarks5772 Yes' they are, all equipment is resiliently mounted so no noise producing objects are directly conntect to the hull making it quiet noise inside the sub isn't transferred to the hull therefore it is quite for the people trying to hear us
23 years on the boats, The last 12 on the boomers. A total accumulation of 8 years under water. The experience was indeed great. Been retired since 1978, still miss it.
I served aboard the USS Kentucky SSBN 737 from 2001-2005. I’m not sure how much I can say on a TH-cam comment with so many words to say. Had I been wise, I’d have stayed in and retired at the age of 40-41. I miss and love (a word you don’t hear most submariners say often), everyone I served with aboard that boat during that time. I’ve not seen or heard form any of them since. I hope you’re doing well. You see these guys more than you see you own wife and kids. You hate them and love them at the same time. I often think about going back, but I digress. There were no women serving aboard subs at that time. That’s not a negative comment just a statement. This video didn’t show any sonar but, it can’t be shown due to being classified. You could hear the Tach-9 (I may have miss labeled it, it’s been 14 years) going off at one point. That sound haunts you and never leaves you after you’ve spent years hearing it. I could say more but it’s late and I have my 3 year old asleep in my arms. To those I served with if you ever read this. I wish you all the best. To Senior Chief Boyle, I hope I run into you again some day. I still have your microwave that you gave my wife and I when we first moved to on base housing and literally had nothing but a bed and a car. The dang thing was built in 1972 and still works great.
WOULDA, COUDA, SHOULDA. All of us that served (me, Army), wind up wishing we had stayed for twenty years and retired with half pay in our early forties. Truth is, only a small percentage of personnel reenlist and go for the golden goose. Twenty years seemed like a long time when we were in our late teens or early twenties..right?
Video and photos are often deceiving. I'd probably avoid hitting the top of my head on some ceiling fixture my first few months there despite the fact that it's probably engineered such a way, I'd have to actually try to end up hitting my head. Need confirmation from people who served in these vessels of course. Do newbies actually walk around like retracted turtles in there?
@@mistaowickkuh6249 "Do newbies actually walk around like retracted turtles in there?" If they're tall, yeah. My first boat was a Trident and one of the guys in sonar (I was a sonar tech) was over six feet and he would still have to duck. Ohio Class (SSBN ("Trident")/SSGN) definitely has way more room than 688/688i/Seawolf/Virginia, though. Not THAT much, because most of the extra space is taken up by the missile tubes (the large orange tubes), but significantly more room.🙂
I was on Fast Attack boats, and when I got my dolphins, they were the metal type pins, not a Velcro patch. Nearly the entire crew congratulated us too, but it sure was different than this video. You see, back then, everyone who already had their dolphins got to line up and congratulate you one at a time, by tacking the dolphins on. Simply put, they would punch you in the chest right where the metal pin was attached. After one or two tacks, the steel pins would punch through the brass backing clips and stick into your chest. The next guy would pull them out and then punch them back in again. After a hundred men punched you over the next 24 hours, your chest was a bloody mess and badly bruised. But being so proud to finally earn your dolphins, you quickly healed physically and mentally. You also remembered when the next batch of sailors received their dolphins. It was an obligation to tack theirs on, and an insult to their achievement to go easy on them when doing so. I still have my original bent up set, and cherish them more than any other replacement set I ever bought. Earning your dolphins was an achievement unlike anything else. It meant you were now a trusted member of a fraternity. One that understood that you could trust your life in the hands of others, and they would trust theirs in you. You had to learn every inch of the boat, what every system did and how it operated, where every circuit breaker was, where every valve was, what it did, blindfolded, how to do every job, regardless of what your actual job was. It meant that in an emergency, you didn't have to ask what to do, you knew what to do, how to do it, and you got the job done.
And also remember, these were designed in the late 60's and early 70's. They started building this class of ship in 1976, which means all the engineering and design work had already been finalized.
Ingalls builds them in Virginia, I shipfit at the other Ingalls, and can't imagine building these things. Ships seem so easy and basic compared to these
This brings back memories. I was on the USS Pennsylvania SSBN 735 submarine, and even though I didn't serve on the submarine shown in this video, it's mostly similar to the one I served on.
It's an amazing thing that you can be warm and comfortable while cruising around at the bottom of the sea. For me the compressed sleeping accommodation would take a lot of getting used to.
Such a responsibility carrying the ballistic missiles. Salute to these professionals of the best navy in the world. You Braves keep the world at peace ~
My dad was a submariner for 21-years...retiring as the last COB for the USS Tunney (APSS-282)...and old WWII-era diesel-electric which was converted to a troop (SpecialOps) transport based at Subic Bay during the VIetnam War before being decommissioned in 1969. When it returned to San Diego, the Navy gave him a choice: Transfer to/become a COB on a newer LA-class sub--but move the family (again) to Pearl Harbor....or become an instructor at NTC-San Diego. My mom was tired of moving...and "ordered" him to take the "desk/land" job! He used to say it would've been nice to serve aboard "those damn cruise ships" (what he called the more-spacious/more modern LA-class subs)...but then he remembered how much he enjoyed living the 8am-4pm life in sunny San Diego!
Yep even more so I love the counter intell that it and voice garbling represents. Those of us in and retired from The Force certainly understand and appreciate it!
Sending deepest condolences and prayers to all the crews of Submarine KRI Nanggala 402 sailors and their families. Rest in peace brave sailors. They didn’t die they commenced their final mission to guard the seas for eternity 🤲🏻🇲🇨
@Cheese That is cray-cray! I love the scene in, "Das Boot" when Johann, the engineer, went completely bonkers and started up the ladder in the conning tower. Do you think the captain would have actually shot him?
Left the boat (730B) 30 friggin years ago, UUUGGGGHHHHH!!! In retrospect it’s about as unique and amazing experience a person could have, BUT when your grinding through those 80+ day patrols with a CO that LOVES to drill all day, it ain’t easy. Thanks for the video, amazingly things look at least 90% the same. A recurring dream I have is that I’ve re-enlisted and return to a trident and have to requalify! It’s not a nightmare, but it ain’t exactly a pleasant dream either!
@@debbob78 enjoyed that video. First thing that came to my mind was the young sailor a few years ago that took a couple of photos in the conn that were obviously for family and friends but those pics got him in deep do-do and ended his career if I recall right….seems like a lot more classified backgrounds could be in this video. I would imagine it all came down to a ship’s policy of zero pics on board. By the way did you ever run into master diver (navy) Richard Radecki (aka ragman)?
What an incredible video..... no bullshit, no narrative, just life carrying on within one of the most intricate ( and deadly ) machines ever designed by man........ amazing........
The thing I remember most about shipboard life is the non stop sound of the ventilation systems. You don’t notice it until it stops, when you are away from the ship. It was the first thing I noticed watching this.

US military is greatest not because they have greater weapons but they display them on TH-cam with better cinematography than any Hollywood on earth..!! Kudos from India
Submariners are one of a kind. I couldn't do 1 hour on that boat. Yet these guys do 3 months without even going stir crazy. Just imagine WW2 U boats. Folk in the engine room, worked and slept in the engine room in this U boat tour I saw on here. Incredible. Awesome machine
Well, with each of the 24 Trident II missiles containing 8 warheads of 100-455 kiloton yields, each of which if at 455 kilotons is greater than twenty times as powerful as the highest estimates for the yield from either bomb that we dropped on Japan, a full salvo could definitely change the look of the map.
We were aboard this sub in July 1995 when she was in New London, CT, for a one day stop offering tours before she picked up her nuclear payload. We waited over 9 hours to tour her. Our kids were 3 and 1 1/2. It was awesome!
Im a Veteran Submariner ,USS Von Sueben 632, Wonerful footage 📽🎞🎞🎞🎞.❤ These men and women in the silent service are the best of the best ‼️. Im posting this in Honorable memories of Admiral George Hyman Rickover, Admiral Jeremy BROODA ,Cmndr George O Neil Cmndr C King , All on eternal patrol 🙏⚓🙏 rest in peace my Warriors of the deep ♦️♦️♦️🙏
Having served on subs back in the 60's I can only imagine what this female Lieutenant went through to earn her dolphins. I admire her for her fortitude and courage.
It is a rotten shame what Obama did to the military, including putting women on submarines. Another example of reality being replaced by political correctness. I was on a fast attack in the early 70s...
Pretty awesome responsibility when you can fire enough missiles to annihilate the world, but also deter nuclear war. At 6'2" I would probably be too tall to have to navigate those hatches. When you're the only woman on board this sub, you are the prettiest woman in the world as well as a capable sailor! Thanks for your service to all.
At 9:55 there is a orange curtain on the left that was a bunk we created for one our yeomans that was 6'4". There were only 8 places on board he could stand staright up. Mainly the engine room but the cone didnt hang out in nuke land that much.
It was once my life and I will always be proud of it. A brotherhood undivided one of the best times of my life Paul Mazurek FBM Thomas Jefferson 618. Cold War Veteran
Such an intimate portrayal of how sailors work together in tight units- communications, sonar/ radar, navigation, weapons systems, etc. This video gives a nice glimpse into the technical skills required to man a nuclear sub.
These guys are the best of the best...I just returned from Groton this afternoon and it was a privilege and an honor to see these young men and few women in training for our nations defense. Some of the smartest I’ve ever met. Hooah.
Got my fish in Oct 1987. Never forget that day. One of the proudest days of my life. It was a bit different back then. We still talked them on back then.
Wow so this is how they do it. I can’t imagine being there. It’s crazy but it’s amazing. Thank you US navy ⚓️🇺🇸 for serving our country today and everyday. You guys are rock.
@@AZ-ve9km Oh cool a terrorist on the internet, haven't seen that, why don't you keep leeching off american creations like the internet and this exact website you're using. Hopefully 2 years later you've improved. Oh and you're watching a video about an american warship, are you just that obsessed with america? seek therapy.
I had a PR tour of the USS Florida before she was converted from SSBN to SSGN, great boat, clean and beautiful vessel, we saw Sherwood Forest, aka the missile section, one floor of it, mess hall and launch control as well as CNC, impressive boat !!
Having served on U.K. Trident boats, this was fascinating to watch. So familiar yet so different at the same time.! The missile compartment was near enough identical, just different colour paint. I must concede, the food looks better, although when we qualify as submariners, the metal dolphins pin is served in a glass of rum ☺️👍🏻
Bro I could never live on that. First of all, I would prob get claustrophobic. Secondly, ive been on a submarine before and the feeling I got knowing I was around 100 feet underwater just gave chills (in a bad way, I hated it), and I don't get seasick so it wasn't that. And yes I know they aren't always underwater. Thank you for your service.
The USS WYOMING SSBN 742 is a USS OHIO SSBN 726 Class Ballistic Missile Sub soon he will be replaced by a more Stealthest Ballistic Missile Sub the USS COLUMBIA SSBN 771 Ballistic Missile Sub it delivered by 2027
Wow! It's been over 31 years since I stepped off an Ohio-class boomer. In fact, it was the Ohio - hence the number 726. Didn't get to see any of the engineroom in the video, but I knew I wouldn't.
It's significant to me the fact that just only one man by holding the steering wheel with just his fingers can take action & move this huge sub that means superb technology to me on the other hand I do enjoyed the moment when by ordered & approval of the captain the new crew members issued the sub badge.
It is interesting seeing my old boat (99-03). And it is nifty to see some of the upgrades/changes to paint schemes. Granted, they can't show the "really" interesting stuff back aft, since that is all classified. That area is spacious in comparison to many of these spaces because the equipment dictates the size. The nine person bunk room looks crowded, but there is a reason that the Ohio class was nicknamed the "hotel of the fleet". Fast attacks are far more cramped.
This is awesome. You submariners are the best! Didn't want to wait 2 years to get into nuke school, so chose Airborne Infantry instead....go figure! All those years going cold, hungry, wet, tired and getting shot at, I kept thinking of a super cool nuclear submarine and what I could have had. You all rock!
I and my family were aboard this sub in the late 90s when she stopped in New London CT for a one day tour prior to moving on to pick up her nuclear payload. It was an awesome tour.
I served on 2 SSBN'S in the late 80's to mid 90's. We were very close and not robots like this video depicts. 5 men getting dressed for watch at same time in 9 man stateroom? Get real. All for show. Breakfast scene was odd... Food so apart as was the crew. We sat close and had craziest conversations! Nuts to most and most strained in life. Brothers of the phin are my brothers forever. Can't find that in civilian life. This vid is watered down reality on an SSBN!
It's the look of be silent and don't run into anything! Terrifying when you hear "emergency deep" on the 1MC (intercomm) cause you know you just scraped by near death... happens all too often o.O

Man just the amount of technology in one of these subs is unimaginable. Truly a modern engineering marvel.
I never saw such a comfortable submarine before. There is so much space for the crew.
Gotta be, SSBN's are boring as fuck to serve on to me anyway.

These are a very special breed of men and women! No room for mistakes on a sub. The degree of trust between these good people is unparalleled.

Yes!!! And more detailed descriptions! Nah, classified-shmassified. Come on, tell us!
The thing I remember most about shipboard life is the non stop sound of the ventilation systems.
You don’t notice it until it stops, when you are away from the ship.
It was the first thing I noticed watching this.
Still to this day, when I hear a ventilation fan stop, I think:
"Loss of shore power. Rig for reduced electrical. Prepare to snorkel!"
GTFO in '91
This is like doing jail time, but with a lot of responsibility.
Paul ST No rape vibes, and really good food.
AND freedom. They still can move around the ship freely.
Except they have gadgets and gizmos and buttons and levers that do cool things like go underwater or blow bad guys up

those drivers are so serious as if traffic is heavy
It's not that traffic is heavy, there's just a ton of security involved whenever boomers are moving on the surface. They have to be very careful
amaw67 that's because they're carrying nuclear warheads with them. The government doesn't take that lightly.

Please Help Me KRI NANGGALA 402
We were aboard this sub in July 1995 when she was in New London, CT, for a one day stop offering tours before she picked up her nuclear payload. We waited over 9 hours to tour her. Our kids were 3 and 1 1/2. It was awesome!
Damn it the breakfast looked really good
Im a Veteran Submariner ,USS Von Sueben 632, Wonerful footage 📽🎞🎞🎞🎞.❤ These men and women in the silent service are the best of the best ‼️. Im posting this in Honorable memories of Admiral George Hyman Rickover, Admiral Jeremy BROODA ,Cmndr George O Neil Cmndr C King , All on eternal patrol 🙏⚓🙏 rest in peace my Warriors of the deep ♦️♦️♦️🙏
Compared to the early WW2 Uboats and US Subs. This is a absolutely Palatial !!!
Like going to sea in the Hilton.
@* AnimalHeadSpirit * I just watched that on Hulu. Great movie even though it's over 30 years old.
Having served on subs back in the 60's I can only imagine what this female Lieutenant went through to earn her dolphins. I admire her for her fortitude and courage.
It is a rotten shame what Obama did to the military, including putting women on submarines. Another example of reality being replaced by political correctness. I was on a fast attack in the early 70s...
Hopefully, no more OR no less than any other sub sailor.
@@kenwbrenner why would that be a problem? What submariner duties require having a penis?
@@kenwbrenner You never served military...your arrogance says it all
@@kenwbrenner Yeh stupid liberals stopping you from having an all gay orgy on your submarines
These people are amazing thank you for your service.
I have so much respect for these people. I for one would not ever manage this kind of work.
Go Navy and thanks to all who serve and served in the past. My father was a signalman in world war 2.
Gotta respect a military that goes off to battle with an armoury of condiments. Kudos.
5:11 even under water, boy got the shoe game
LMAOOO
2:40 I didn't get to finish hearing his story.

MKW31 opsec
IKR. They were like stfu...
Thank you for your service. I appreciate you all.
There's only 2 types of boats on the ocean. Submarines & Targets.
PumpkinsDontCry that’s the best comment I’ve heard in 2020!
Pretty awesome responsibility when you can fire enough missiles to annihilate the world, but also deter nuclear war. At 6'2" I would probably be too tall to have to navigate those hatches. When you're the only woman on board this sub, you are the prettiest woman in the world as well as a capable sailor! Thanks for your service to all.
At 9:55 there is a orange curtain on the left that was a bunk we created for one our yeomans that was 6'4". There were only 8 places on board he could stand staright up. Mainly the engine room but the cone didnt hang out in nuke land that much.
It was once my life and I will always be proud of it. A brotherhood undivided one of the best times of my life Paul Mazurek FBM Thomas Jefferson 618. Cold War Veteran
My best friend was on the USS Thomas Jefferson (SSBN 618) in the early 70s, homeported out of Rota, Spain.
Are You ready steal oil and gold another country?? Libia .Iran is waiting for You. Mayby You need motivation?? Two towers more??
Mazurek greetings from old country!:)
same here. AJ 619B

This one machine could end human civilization if it wanted to.
russian phisics: nice joke amer - but in russia thermonuclear explosions is freezing to non radioactive ice
Алексей Суханов in Russia joke makes you
It will, otherwise why it's made.
You say it's like a lathe! It's only called a "machine" by propaganda. It's a SHIP with lots of machines on it.
B S, they don’t have enough missile for ALL over the world.
AWESOMENESS. Thank you for your service to this country.
Chow looks great man, nothing but the best for our fine fighting ladies and gentlemen! Thanks so much for protecting our great country! God bless.
The field days that were had because of this doc must have been horrific!
Such an intimate portrayal of how sailors work together in tight units- communications, sonar/ radar, navigation, weapons systems, etc. This video gives a nice glimpse into the technical skills required to man a nuclear sub.
To me it's a huge, daunting responsibility. The Captain is right there watching everything like a hawk.
This was my second boat. Back in '13. Qualified on the USS TENNESSEE
Kill the Bear
These guys are the best of the best...I just returned from Groton this afternoon and it was a privilege and an honor to see these young men and few women in training for our nations defense. Some of the smartest I’ve ever met. Hooah.
Hooah lol
Got my fish in Oct 1987. Never forget that day. One of the proudest days of my life. It was a bit different back then. We still talked them on back then.
Thank you so much for even a small glimpse into your lives. Thank you for choosing that duty.
Are You ready steal oil and gold another country?? Libia .Iran is waiting for You. Mayby You need motivation?? Two towers more??
@@AZ-ve9km SSBNs don't steal gold, they melt it.
5:44 Damn that chair was duct taped into existence lol
Keeps the farts out.
Wow so this is how they do it. I can’t imagine being there. It’s crazy but it’s amazing. Thank you US navy ⚓️🇺🇸 for serving our country today and everyday. You guys are rock.
Are You ready steal oil and gold another country?? Libia .Iran is waiting for You. Mayby You need motivation?? Two towers more??
@@AZ-ve9km Oh cool a terrorist on the internet, haven't seen that, why don't you keep leeching off american creations like the internet and this exact website you're using. Hopefully 2 years later you've improved.
Oh and you're watching a video about an american warship, are you just that obsessed with america? seek therapy.
Awesome raw video with no extra unneeded sounds. Great job!
I had a PR tour of the USS Florida before she was converted from SSBN to SSGN, great boat, clean and beautiful vessel, we saw Sherwood Forest, aka the missile section, one floor of it, mess hall and launch control as well as CNC, impressive boat !!
Having served on U.K. Trident boats, this was fascinating to watch. So familiar yet so different at the same time.! The missile compartment was near enough identical, just different colour paint. I must concede, the food looks better, although when we qualify as submariners, the metal dolphins pin is served in a glass of rum ☺️👍🏻
Mine were punched on by the COB.
We have our greatest sailors aboard our submarines. I’m proud of you all.
Bro I could never live on that. First of all, I would prob get claustrophobic. Secondly, ive been on a submarine before and the feeling I got knowing I was around 100 feet underwater just gave chills (in a bad way, I hated it), and I don't get seasick so it wasn't that. And yes I know they aren't always underwater. Thank you for your service.
Much Respect !! So much love !! God Bless America !!
The Amount Of Paperwork Was Incredible, And Never Ending!
was part of the commissioning crew on the Wyoming.
I am a Plankowner on the Nevada!
The USS WYOMING SSBN 742 is a USS OHIO SSBN 726 Class Ballistic Missile Sub soon he will be replaced by a more Stealthest Ballistic Missile Sub the USS COLUMBIA SSBN 771 Ballistic Missile Sub it delivered by 2027
Wow! It's been over 31 years since I stepped off an Ohio-class boomer. In fact, it was the Ohio - hence the number 726. Didn't get to see any of the engineroom in the video, but I knew I wouldn't.
Bigger better than the 640 class SSBN. Best Sub video I have seen on TH-cam! Nice work. ;o)
Brings back many memories of my time aboard a fast attack SSN
Hope the crew do not get as bored as I was watching this video.
That's some nice chow right there.
Idali Beltre Acevedo looks pretty damn good. These guys and gals are all my heroes, even the cooks.
justin k especially the cook.
aimhigh_ida, you look like some nice chow babe. Lol. Someone please pas the salt. I'm hungry for some aimhigh_ida!
During WWII, submariners got the best food the Navy had available as a perk for a very demanding job. I don't know if that's the same nowadays.
justin k no no in Soviet Rios’s a we make soul food for our crew
Its so claustrophobic down there ill scream every moment im awake!!
Thats why u r not babybitch
Kesini gara gara Kri Nanggala 402, ada yang sama?
Nggak
Sama, aku juga
sama
Thankyou all these dedicated personel for your service
It's significant to me the fact that just only one man by holding the steering wheel with just his fingers can take action & move this huge sub that means superb technology to me on the other hand I do enjoyed the moment when by ordered & approval of the captain the new crew members issued the sub badge.
Ah, galley food. The single most connecting experience throughout the Navy.
It is interesting seeing my old boat (99-03). And it is nifty to see some of the upgrades/changes to paint schemes. Granted, they can't show the "really" interesting stuff back aft, since that is all classified. That area is spacious in comparison to many of these spaces because the equipment dictates the size. The nine person bunk room looks crowded, but there is a reason that the Ohio class was nicknamed the "hotel of the fleet". Fast attacks are far more cramped.
This is awesome. You submariners are the best! Didn't want to wait 2 years to get into nuke school, so chose Airborne Infantry instead....go figure! All those years going cold, hungry, wet, tired and getting shot at, I kept thinking of a super cool nuclear submarine and what I could have had. You all rock!
Some of the nicest and most patient people I have ever worked with were subs, some went into air traffic control after the NAVY.
I and my family were aboard this sub in the late 90s when she stopped in New London CT for a one day tour prior to moving on to pick up her nuclear payload. It was an awesome tour.
It was really nice watching this, reminded me of my time on the USS Kentucky SSBN 737; What a pleasant surprise to see ETC(SS) Roth in this video!
ETVCS at the time of this patrol. lol
Thanks guys, it was pretty cool to do it!
Good ocean viewers and good looking fun!!
I just came for the food I think the people on ships and Subs eat the best
I served on 2 SSBN'S in the late 80's to mid 90's. We were very close and not robots like this video depicts. 5 men getting dressed for watch at same time in 9 man stateroom? Get real. All for show. Breakfast scene was odd... Food so apart as was the crew. We sat close and had craziest conversations! Nuts to most and most strained in life. Brothers of the phin are my brothers forever. Can't find that in civilian life. This vid is watered down reality on an SSBN!
One of my JO's on 768 just finished up hid command tour on Wyoming. Nice to see traditions and excellence carried on
I wanna drive the submarine! I have a clean driving record ashore.
Опасная работа у подводников. Русским и американским подводникам желаю мира и добра!!!❤❤❤🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊
@Олег Шерстнев I wish the same.
Wish the same as well. We are all humans under the sea.
Man, the looks in their eyes. It's like they know something that we don't know. Like about what happens to first timers down there.
It's the look of be silent and don't run into anything! Terrifying when you hear "emergency deep" on the 1MC (intercomm) cause you know you just scraped by near death... happens all too often o.O
Can you fathom the responsibility they have piloting a literal submarine to that can unleash a nuclear apocalypse?
I wonder what kind of psychologocal tests they have to get through. The pressure and responsibility are unreal.
I saw the Wyoming being built at EB in Groton when I was there building the Columbia. I was at her launching ceremony. Good memories.
0:02 I bet she starts to look real good after 3 months at sea
