    I don't know why... but this was one of my favorite videos from the Deep Dive Series. It's so... personal and real. I had no idea that food is literally THE limiting factor on a submarine's ability to dive. Also, I had no idea meals were such a big deal for morale (Ice Cream on Waffles totally works by the way).

      You don't get to serve on a submarine unless you love the job and take pride in your work. The conditions are so grueling and psychologically degrading that there's no room for anyone who halfasses any aspect of their lives. Those people wash out quickly because the stress and depression are too much. Looking at the captain, I can see in his eyes that his brain has no serotonin left, and the only thing keeping him going is how much he loves captaining a submarine.

    I had a patient come to the ER back in early 2019. He was a cook on a nuclear submarine. He was recently separated from the Navy, and back home working at a bakery that has a Breakfast/Lunch cafe. I asked him what he enjoyed making the most and he said he loved making drumstick ice cream from scratch for everyone on board. He even added the chocolate at the end of the cone!
    I think about that our encounter and I enjoy telling his story. I spent his entire ER visit with him. We talked about food and reminisced on past deployments (it was an early Sunday morning and the patient census was low). He truly loved cooking and was eager to update the menu at the bakery/cafe he was working at.
    About 3 weeks ago, I took a look at the bakery’s Breakfast/Lunch menu and it is completely revamped. I hope that was a part of his doing and passion. He was someone who was truly remarkable.

I really hope that when the Columbia class next gen SLBM is finalised, the designers put a lot of emphasis on both crew ergonomics, recreational space and the space dedicated to food storage and preparation. I humbly recommend that in addition to controlled temperature storage, they put equal emphasis on controlling humidity, CO2/ethylene gases and allow for segmenting the same, which will permit much longer storage of different fresh foods, including fruits and vegetables).

      ... around 6 or 7 pizzas with the other stuff baked in these 8 hours. and if is aw right there were around 3 or 4 waiting to be cooked, one rdy and 3 doughes rdy to be mad einto more pizza ground

Not while I was there at least. That TV would be turned off instantly and not by me. . But I had it like that in my later years of service. Most submariners don't. It takes many many years of being the best at what you do, to get there but when you do its fabulous. The Power of 2 Stars. If I'm having a bad day everyone including the Officers feel it. They couldn't fire me back then at all. Now I'm just a cog in the civilian world where I have adjusted to being nice. If I wanted to, I can rip your face off if I so desire. That takes effort so why do it. But I've developed into very mellow person. I'm nice now to most peeps these last few decades out here mingling in the civilian swamp. God Bless Submariners.

      Fried foods are tasty, relatively quick to make and can fill people up quickly. Considering the limited space, it makes sense in a way to depend so much on deep friers and high-protein, high-carb foods. Even more so considering that most veggies would go bad on a month-long trip. Unlike most other restaurants, you can't pop out to a cash&carry to get some extra carrots because your old ones got mouldy. And considering veggies take up more space for a smaller caloric intake, well... Unhealthy, but it works.

You have to bake a dough with everything but cheese, and then add cheese for the last 2 minutes, otherwise, it will burn and the crust won't be as crunchy. The pizzas on the video are not as healthy, with tons of cheese and salami, not great! Americana style I guess. On the flip side, they have bigger threats on the nuclear submarine ;)

    I know the crew is supposed to maintain operational security but sometimes tidbits can slip out. At 5:51, the Chief says that they have 180 on board and then immediately corrects himself and says 140, but can have up to 180. That would mean that, at times, the sub has 40 extra bodies on board. 40 is almost the number of a Marine platoon, or two to three SEAL teams. So. the USS Toledo is most likely outfitted for Special Ops teams and their equipment, as well as scientists studying the Arctic.

    Step 1
    For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
    Step 2
    For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
    Step 3
    Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
    Step 4
    Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
    Step 5
    For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
    Step 6
    Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

The reason why is simple, being in a tiny tube with a hundred other guys for months with no outside contact or even just sunlight means that living on the sub has to be as comfortable as possible, to keep morale and psychological health intact.

      Well at the start of the patrol the food is THE best, you can tell normally whether or not you're getting close to the end of the patrol. Here is how I kept track.
      1. For the first or second week we had fresh food i.e. fresh bread, fresh eggs, fruits and vegetables.
      2. At the end of the second but often times first week, the fresh eggs is gone and I have to start opening cans of powdered eggs.
      3. After a few more weeks there is no more fresh vegetables, i.e. no more peeling of potatoes or cutting up of vegetables. Instead I have to start using the can openers all the time now.
      4. At week 7 is when we cooks have to get really creative, all food are now coming out of cans. And all the meat have freezer burn, dessert is often times just plain old jello.
      5. For me we never went past 60-70 days away from port, if we did then then I better start doing some black magic in order to make something not only edible but tasty as well. I also learned after my first patrol to have at least one or two small jars of Jif peanut butter hidden in my bag. Sailors would trade you ANYTHING for a spoonful of tasty peanut butter on crackers.

      At least modern American sub crews don't have to be worried about it potentially sinking thanks to Sub-Safe standards. Probably the most reliable and safest vehicle you could hope to be in is a US Navy Submarine. The only problems you have to concern yourself with are being isolated from the rest of the world and the cramped living conditions and seeing the same people every day for months on end. There are other countries whose sub crews wish they didn't have to be concerned about their life on top of the less than ideal conditions.

    At the end of the video I didn't even realize I was smiling the entire time. I love your videos Destin. You're such a kindhearted and wonderful person in the way you present yourself and how you're open to new ideas and so many other things. Your ad recommendations mean more to me than anyone else's. A while back you did one for Hello Fresh and you showed your wife cooking it and your family eating it and you talked about how much you genuinely enjoy the service. Another time with Raycon earbuds you actually showed yourself using them and said how much you like them. It totally flipped my perception of the earbuds. If Destin says they're good, they probably are! Your content has inspired me so much to be open minded and learn new things, every time I see you pop up in my notifications I know it's going to be a good day.
    P.S I also love your appearance in other youtuber's videos, like the recent video from Veritasium about how gravity isn't a force.

    One thing I love about watching guys in the military is there so awesome. Everyone is chill and relaxed. No real drama between members. In sure they have their issues like all brothers and sisters. But just the relationship between everyone is amazing to me. Growing up I didn't really know my brothers and sisters because my dad got custody an that was it. I dreamed of being in the military. I was all set up at 16. Recruiters where helping me study the Asvab. I was on schedule to graduate a year early. And then I got in a serious accident that caused serious back problems an wound up with metal rods and screws throughout my body. Just the breaks in my back illuminated my chances. The metal sealed the deal. I was devastated. Going from completely independent ready to join the military and everything to codependent in a wheel chair for 2 years while I learned to walk again. it was a bad time. But I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I got 2 little one's. A good job. Im Studying for computer certifications and Where happy. But it's still amazing to see. And this video shows it perfectly. They all have a job to do and they do it well. But even its time to relax and just be one of the boys everyone is chill.
