  • USS Wyoming (SSBN 742) is a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine which has been in commission since 1996. She is the fourth U.S. Navy ship to be named USS Wyoming, although it was only the third named after the state of Wyoming.
    Video includes shots of the sub's exteriors, interior, and general life onboard footage. USS Wyoming is currently undergoing regularly-scheduled patrol in the Atlantic Ocean

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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!

      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.🙂

Because of the high pressure on the outside this required a complicated system. Only some of the crew knew how to operate this system, so when it was time to flush, one of these people had to be ready. At one point, late in the war, a type VII was engaging a British ship when one of the crew members, believed to be the captain, tried to flush without knowing how. He went back to his station and after a while sea water started pouring in from the heads. The submarine started flooding and they eventually abandoned it.

      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.

    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.
