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).

Love it.
I lived that life. Pizza night was a small thing that helped add a little joy. Running the magic teapot back aft took a lot out of your joy in life.
Mine too
If they used sous vide products they could stay out for months.
A dumb but honest question, why not fish for food ??
Kinda weird how in a random location deep in the middle of the ocean there might be a fresh baked pizza
yes but now it brings the real question,
Can you cook Pizza in Space?
What about on Mars?
@@Sapphire_Jack Not really
@@Sapphire_Jack I don't see why pizza on Mars wouldn't work.
when submarine crew eats more fresh than I can.
Good point
As a professional Chef of many years, i am deeply impressed by the work ethic of these young chefs. To work and produce such
high quality food under those conditions is truly exceptional, even insperational. I would employ any one of those guy's in a heartbeat.
NO question.
As a professional food eater (I've been doing it my entire life!), who has zero level of kitchen-awareness except for that one time I volunteered as a prep cook in a local restaurant in highschool, I can say that even as someone who has barely stepped foot in a professional kitchen, these guys absolutely know what they're doing. I would hire them in the blink of an eye and I don't even own a restaurant!
No question even if they were dishonorably discharged fr some reason?
@@shawnhtpc2271 u sound suspiciously like a dishonorably discharged navy chef
iam a Chef also and I agree with what you said, galley is very small, most people think our job is easy.
Great point...
Please post when you pull the trigger on hiring a Mess Specialist... That would be awesome
I love how serious the ownership is for each of these submariners. You can see and hear how proud the kitchen personnel are and how much pride they take in watching out for their crew's morale. It's great!
It’s a very beautiful thing. They love taking care of the crew.
That was super nice to see, they were extremely straight forward about how much they looked after one another.
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.
@@deusexaethera if these have it tough imagine those poor guys who served on the U boats in WW2? At least modern submarines are bigger and more spacious inside, in fact their huge compared to those U boats. Most of the crew didn’t even have proper beds too sleep in, they slept in hammocks above the torpedoes.
@@matty6848 : Yeah, conditions were pretty terrible back then, but at least they weren't stuck underwater for months at a time. Submarines back then had to surface every few hours to take on fresh air. Crews could climb out and see the surface periodically.
The chef's answer to "is it hard?" with serious contemplation and a definitive "yeah" made this whole series for me. I really appreciate that candid of an interaction.
I like when the guy said "even when we give them pizza they still find something to.... to gripe about."
Because you can tell he didn't want to say "gripe" lol
@@zacharychristy8928 haha yes, one of my favorite parts and favorite SED episodes
That Chief in the Goat Locker was being nice. It could be worse. That cook should have had his poppers that instant. @@zacharychristy8928
It might just be me, but it makes me so happy seeing the people in charge of food genuinely really care about what the crew likes
That's if you have good cooks. You sometimes get a cook who doesn't care and the food is a good reflection of that
@@neghogroar you kinda have to if you get assigned to a sub. There's not even much room to move around & exercise, let alone to hide from the crew when they get uppity about your cooking. 😂
Imagine getting some grimreaper-looking female about to be all healthy and environmental and loading just tons of carrots and cabbages to your submarine.
@@jounikorhonen9441 Into the torpedo tube she goes
Cuz the crew is small. On carriers they don’t care what they make or what people like. Their main priority is to just feed a crew of 3,000+ enlisted sailors.
“The crew loves syrup. If their waffles aren’t swimming in it, they aren’t happy.”
I feel that.
Syrup is one of the few things that doesn’t go bad for a very long time
I still love the mapleine syrup I grew up with, and it seems like a submarine would be a fantastic use for it.
Flashbacks to Elf with Buddy dumping syrup on everything 😂😂😂
As a Canadian I thought I agreed until I realized it must be that gross fake stuff. Oh well at least they like it.
@@tasmanmillen it's not trust, real syrup has a longer shelf life.
Fake start to break down and separate.
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.
Could you link the place on google maps?

WHY THERE IS A RADIATION SIGN IN THE KITCHEN!!?
@@pdsng69Most likely that wall backs up against reactor spaces, and you need dosimetry and clearance to be on the other side of it. The occupational exposure to radiation in navy reactors is so low as to be negligible.
@@pdsng69 when the pizzas are running late they pop them in the nuclear reactor to speed up the cooking
I can't imagine cooking for hundreds of people in a kitchen that small. Huge props to these guys!
Plus having to hand wash all the dishes
I can
Hundreds? Dude this is not Titanic xD There is 12 officers and 98 men.
@@4Core100uh that’s where your wrong American subs hold about 120-140 men most subs hold around 120
@Bustle83 I had 157 on my deployment although like 20 were riders
As a professional chef and working in kitchens in Canada for over 25yrs, no matter if your under the arctic sea ice on a nuclear class sub or working in the nicest hotel, the cooks are all the same, and you are truly in the trenches most of your shift and can quickly adapt, improvise to meet the needs and receive little recognition. Thanks for highlighting this aspect of keeping the people who stand on watch, allowing us to enjoy our freedom by keeping them happy and healthy. God bless America.
I love how respectful Dustin is with everyone.
He's respectful even to people who get his name wrong.
It's Destin. But he would never correct you.
@@galacticboy2009 Burn. lol
I thought submarine food had a Lesser varitry of food.. But oh am I rong!
I mean what reason would he have to not be respectful?
Those are pretty respectable people...
“Requesting to enter with pizza” is an excellent sentence
I'm sure that's a request that has never been denied
It's because the answer last time was, "no, and don't ask again without pizza."
I would enter with "Pizza Time" like in Spider-Man
In almost all contexts, it's the best sentence.
You can safely bet that the reply will always be a resounding "Yes".
Incredible respect to the cooks making everything from scratch - there’s restaurants all over with entire full size kitchens that aren’t swaying around that microwave their dishes
To be fair, I'm sure the restaurant employees can hide away when their patrons don't like their dishes. On top of keeping up morale, it'd be scary to be in a nuclear-powered pressurized tube under sea level with a bunch of guys that don't like your cooking.
Homemade bread and buns! Wonder if the smell wafts through the sub?
The difference between cooking for everyone and cooking for oneself
Not “everything” is from scratch...
All the fried foods were premade.
But regardless, it’s still impressive!!
Is it really efficient to make most food from scratch on the submarine, with limited time, stuff and room, when you can purchase premade food so cheaply ?
Buddy was dead serious abt those poppers. 🤣💯
well you don't want the appetizer AFTER the entree do you?
😂 I was confused about them speaking about that as well. I thought they meant something else with the same name lol.
@@Engineer9736 well it is the navy... you might be right!
@@XX-121 - 🎵 In the navy...🎵
the cook seemed a bit put off about it too lol.
It's been 27 years since I served on a 688 and after watching the cook walk the pizza to the goat locker, I am convinced I could still do that walk with my eyes closed.
Same here. I know the inside of a 688 like the back of my hand.
Didn't mention the mess cranks washing the dishes. I cranked for 90 days during our Med Run in 94'
Thank you for your service. As someone who is claustrophobic, I admire these crews tremendously.
Even the best soldiers can't fight on an empty stomach. And every army is only as good as those keeping their fighting men and women fed, supplied, patched up, and in good spirits.
It has been 48 years since I served on the Jolly Dolly (boomer), but I could walk back aboard and I think that I could earn my Dophins in 2 weeks tops.
I was a Marine cook from 2013-2017. I got to go on a deployment on an LHD class of ship. Now while a bunch of the Navy cooks were not very good the store room guys were excellent. Glad a big youtuber is showing a part of the military not many people know about.
I also suspect that quality of cooks will vary in general when you're hand-making things. I wonder if subs get priority on the really good cooks, hence you dealing with cooks who weren't as good?
I've been at shoreside Marine chow halls where they couldn't make over easy eggs to save their lives. It's a complete tossup when it comes to the quality of military cooks.
@@roguishpaladin I think the cooks are better because:
There are fewer people to cook for than on a large ship
The crew eats the same food as the Captain
I think that subs get more ($ per person / day) than big ships, allowing for better ingredients
I keep forgetting they are submerged... this is absolutely incredible. so much respect for the crew. Blew my mind how they utilize the space so well.
I used to think that the importance that was given to chefs and cooks on submarines and ships was a bit overblown...until I actually started working with submariners and sailors on long patrols. When options for fun are limited, food becomes FAR more important to people. A good meal makes everything seem better, a bad one stays with you and does have an impact on your performance as well as your mood.
People underestimate the power of nutrition
@@Blessedup69 I certainly did: working in places like Seattle, San Francisco, Sydney and throughout the best parts of Asia meant that superb quality food was available readily and at every price point. You start to assume what is globally exceptional cuisine being the standard for everyone. Until you are in a situation when its not, and then you really look forward to that pizza, the bacon and eggs and the like. 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). It know this may sound a bit like those $20,000 hammers of the 1980s Pentagon procurement fame, but those guys in that tin can for 60+ days under the sea will be grateful and perform better for longer.
I was lucky to have cooks that cared on my boat. One of the guys made these big rolls the crew called “crack rolls” dude mixed honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter and slathered it on oversized dinner rolls. No matter how bad your watch got, if your off watch meal had crack rolls it was a good day.
@@Oksobasically2 With that much sugar, you'd have to swallow a bottle of Dexedrine to have a better day! Sounds really good - an alternative is to replace the butter with creamed cheese.
You also can't just go and get something when you start feeling like it. There's only one guy in your isolated world who gives you all your food. You're entirely dependent on what he decides to put before you.

cooking for 180 people in a almost regular size kitchen? i'd have liked more explanation on that. also, what are these "catalogs" they order from? do they carry money or is it just billed to the country? but how does that work in war? after this show i have more questions that i had before.
@@p0gr i guess there must be contracts and arrangements for that,. and as payment probably bills.
about the 180 peopel thingy.. they work in 3 shifts so around 60 people are active at 8 hours
that means theres enough pizza for around 60 each 8 hours. so i guess its like
... 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
As a mom to a newbie sub sailor I can't even tell you how amazing it has been to watch your vids in this series. We have enjoyed your channel for years as a family, but now it's as if you are giving me a chance to be a part of his new career and life from afar. Thank you so much, Destin.
Thank you for your sub sailor's service, you don't know how much your support is appreciated by the crew! The family back home has a really tough job and your support is nourishment for the soul, just as important as the food!
The chefs are the heart of any navy crew. Sometimes when you're out there, the only thing keeping you going during a long day (or night) is knowing that those poor suckers in the galley are cooking up a storm for you and your buddies.
Shipmate, we do not call our CSs/MSs "chefs"
From how you worded it I can also tell you really don't have a clue about the other things you're rambling on about either

Seriously - this is my all time favorite youtube series. Probably even outside youtube. I've never served, have zero military experience, but this is simply fascinating to me. I love every single minute of these series. Thank you Destin.
“What did you do in the Navy?”
“Making bread from scratch. We love making bread”
Its that or stripping paint, or painting

@@jackfiercetree5205 Better, people love fresh bread. It really gets them fired up for the day.
In the mid 90s I was the baker pretty much my whole time on my last boat. (The USS Supply) Anyway, we were the rock stars.
What is amazing diesel boat's are much closer quarters.. much more less room.
The only Military member who can joke about their superiors: The chefs
Since they control the FOOD, and no superior wants bad food.
Always keep the chef happy.
The cooks and the A-gangers. The cooks have the food, and the A-gangers have the hot water you prefer in your showers.
Chefs are like natural pacifists though
@@anonymoususer638 I think most chefs respect their tools too much to use them as weapons and that's the only thing stopping them
I was wondering if the military has specific recipes and requirements they have to adhere to. Everything else is so regimented...
@@4jonah There are recipe cards that they are supposed to follow for each of the meals. Sometimes they treat them a little lax, but usually they follow them pretty closely, as the amount of food they use is pretty important. If you flub the sugar or something by 25%, now you run out of sugar or something 25% faster.
To think there's probably a submarine out there right now, hundreds or thousands of feet below the ocean, where a bunch of dudes are just hanging out, eating a freshly made pizza, and playing video games is so crazy to me
i thought the same thing
@@JadonLolleyso did another commenter 2 years prior to this one.
You will notice that Chief in the Goat locker was all by himself. Its lonely at the top. There is no way some chitty film like Down Periscope would be playing in my Goat Locker. 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.

It's great by military standards, but it's still hit or miss. Breakfast was always good.
Army: "Here have this meal in a can"..
Navy Submarine : "Woohoo, Gourmet Pizza Night"
I don't know how in the US but in my country army is the branch that has the most retards who either don't have high school diploma or their diploma is so worthless that they wouldn't get into most universities and that's the main reason they're in the military. I guess good food comes with actual education and I'm sure that on a submarine everyone there has some kind of degree
😂😂😂
@@boonxai Ok? Thanks for the very relevant discussion on degree attainment in various branches of the military. Meanwhile, I guess the rest of us can talk about how surprisingly good the food prepared on a sub looks.
@@boonxai Half the troops are sub-rock, the other half has a masters in astrophysics or something like that.
There’s not a lot of middle ground.
Officers all have a four-year degree.
Yeah, we had surf and turf nights on my Carrier, ice cream, submarine sandwich bar, salad bar, ship’s store, and during the Super Bowl we had watch parties on the hanger bay. Oh, wings, hot dogs, hamburgers, were typical at the forward galley if you didn’t like what was at the main galley.
This series brings me such a genuine sense of joy. Normally I queue up a bunch of videos for background noise, but with these nuclear submarine ones I can't help but drop everything and watch. No lie, my smile is stretching from ear to ear and I'm bouncing with excitement like a little kid again, thank you!
Is it me or do they only eat fried food and pizza on this sub + plus a lot of bbq sauce and syrups?
Submariners have always been given nicer/less healthy food to help deal with the high stress environment and extreme workloads. As far back as WW2 they got to eat wayy different to the surface navy because the work is so much more intense.
Yeah I was surprised how unhealthy it all is. Aren't there any vegetables?
High calories they do work out in the sub too
@Doble T matutino 420 lack of vegetables is unhealthy though
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.
Destin, the footage walking through middle-level passageway was so nostalgic for me. I think it adds so much context for how it really feels, particularly with the human traffic jams.
Great job on the series so far. It makes me miss it even more, especially all my fellow Sailors.
thank you for your service
Likewise. I already know all of this - I served on the Seawolf - but watching these brings back the memory of those days. Simpler times. And my younger life. And it's also refreshing to see an outsider experiencing what we did. An experience shared that bridges the internet gap. I guess. Not wording it the greatest.
As an FS in the Coast Guard, my hats off to those guys. We only served 80-90 on my Cutter, but with more space. Our pizza night was also known as “Morale Night”, every Saturday. I always enjoyed slinging some pies for the guys and gals. Poppers were the hot ticket item! Wings mozzarella sticks as well.
Food is probably one of the biggest thing for morale. Even getting skittles in your mre made your day. Only difference is you usually would make the candy last a long time.
@@f1rebreather123 No doubt. It will certainly make or break the crew.
when the world ends in nuclear salvo exchange , those guys will be having pizza somewhere beneath arctic ice .
I can imagine worse ways to engage in the end of the world.
One more party then they turn out the lights.
*homemade from scratch delishious pizza
"I mark the passage of time by when pizza was."
Sounds exactly like how I spent 2020
That when thing goes wrong. I eat pizza quite a bit
Pizza is every Saturday
Sometimes I eat it every day ;) Small pizza from one large cup of four. It is trivial to do, and after a month of practice (or two), you will make it as good as in a pizzeria. 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 work on a submarine based in southern Georgia we base everything off of burger day
Except just before he said that, he said he was there for ONLY 24 hours. "Oh, that happened 2 days after pizza."
Here's what I noticed the most in all these videos, but this one really stood out. When they are walking through the halls with a pizza pan you really can see how much room you DON'T have! I know through this whole series that was a major factor, but seeing this really brought it home!! Thank you and all the men on the submarine for this look, I have really learned a lot!!
It’s one thing that you’re a brilliant human being, capable of asking great questions and explaining your newfound information to laymen. It’s another thing that you’re always obviously lighting up rooms with your personality and giving everyone a reason to smile. This is by far my favorite channel on the app!

I love this crewman at 8:44 who sees this pizza roll by for about half a second and immediately mumbles "Hmmm, looks good."
Honest crewman being honest :D
Didn't even notice that on the first run. Thanks mate :D They all seem to be so chilled and kinda happy. Wired ^^
Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I first watched this. Me and my boy watch it a few times each year. Love pizza night on the submarine.

I served on several submarines, and we always began missions with the entire floor of the submarine lined with boxes of large food cans and walked on top of them until we ate them all. Then we could walk on the floor again. I'm surprised they didn't talk about that. Food was great!
What.
Good times till you have to use dehydrated food, lol.
They did mention something to effect of having already been underway for a little bit.
thank you for your service!!
they did tho?
my favorite thing about this series is that every member seems to love and be proud of the work they do, regardless of how miniscule or mundane it may seem. (to ordinary people such as myself anyway). They really understand that their role is just as important as the rest of the crew in maintaining their ecosystem functioning properly. Huge respect to this guys.
This is why its so important to have a volunteer service. All the men on that sub want to be there and that can make a big difference when you are fighting and greatly improves morale.
Amazing what happens when you let people have real responsibility and you encourage people to learn and do more. You know the opposite of all American companies, especially corporations. When I was a combat troop in the Army I loved what I did and always wanted to do more for my infantrymen. To help them in any way possible. Make their lives easier.
@@mackdyegames3035 thank you for your service
When everyone’s lives potentially hinge on that seemingly mundane task....
Yeah, I’d obsess over doing a good job too! 😆👍
My fellow bubble heads would probably agree with me when I say this. We take great pride in what we do every second of everyday rather we are in port or out to sea because we know it only takes one tiny little insignificant mistake a 1/1000 of second can be the difference between 200 sailors coming home to thier families and not coming home at all. We work and strive and push our pride to the fullest so that heartache doesn't happen. We are a special breed mostly crazy with a little hooyaa mixed in.
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.
It wasn't really a slip up I think the captain mentioned spec ops insertions as one of their tasks in the earlier videos.
Let's goooooooo
I think in another video on the same boat they gave a reporter a tour and did indeed show a SEAL outfitting room
What in the world are 140 people doing on that thing? I thought there were maybe like 40 or 50. How and what is there so much to do?
@Harry_Gersack gotta remember that each position on the submarine is manned 24/7, so it's likely 70 crew positions on 12 hr shifts.
Engineers for the reactor, technicians from plumbers to welders, cooks, weapons specialists, etc. Lots of different jobs that each need at least 2 people to fill them.
i love how when he entered the quarters with the pizza he asked "permission to enter with pizza?" who in their right mind would say no to that
The Chiefs could have been holding a meeting and sometimes it just isn't a good time to enter and permission can be denied. The various ranks have to have areas where they can unwind and do certain types of work and not be overheard or seen by the crew. They have an officer's mess for the same reason.

Can someone explain to me, without unnecessary jokes and comments, what does this "E" means? I can see it more and more often on the internet nowadays.
My stepdad was on subs for 12 plus years. We did a dependents cruise around 94-95 out of Groton. We got to see a lot of stuff and we got to eat in the galley. it was just cookout type stuff but I remember being amazed how good the food was. My dad was a senior chief and the C.O.B and seeing how both the enlisted men and the officers talked to him with such respect has stuck with me to this day.
When you become Chief you can walk on water, but your shoes got wet. When you are Senior Chief your shoes barely get wet. When you are Master Chief you can walk above the water. Chiefs run the Navy, and don't let anyone say otherwise. Rule one.... a Chief is never wrong, and if he somehow is, refer to Rule One. Had my Chiefs Initiation and made Chief in 1990 oh a few decades ago. SC in 1995 and MC in 2000. Have never forgotten those principles. God Bless Submariners.

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.
Step 1
order pizza
Step 0.5 convert all measurements into metric
I prefer to let my dough sit in the fridge for about a week so it smells like alcohol from the fermentation. It makes the dough incredibly stretchy and you always have dough ready
Senior Chief Knoxx was cook on a submarine for 8 years before I joined the Navy and he was my Bootcamp Division commander and one the most important people that shaped my life.

Hey a good rule of life don't mess w/ the people who make your food.
Seems like how on cattle drives the only two people you don’t cross are the boss and the cook
In the Navy the officers still follow the old segregated traditions of navies over the centuries and they eat a higher quality of meals and eat first and in a seperate mess area! In the Army, officers eat the same as the troops and ALWAYS wait for their troops to eat first so that if there is not enough food, it is the Army officers who go hungry!
It was so funny 😂
Dont mess with the chef my man.
I read somewhere that submarines has the best food in the whole navy, that's because they want to boost the crew morale
Very true! They eat like kings! As you said, excellent morale booster!
It’s been that way since at least WW2. My great grandfather had to bail out of his plane over the pacific in Guadalcanal and he was rescued by a Navy ship. They had ice cream. No other military branches did, apparently. Lol
its because they prioritize chefs and food for the subs.
sorry food yields sorry attitudes. those quarters are too cramped to put up with too many people w/too sorry an attitude for long.
Actually it’s because they cook the food with nuclear energy. So it adds that extra zing
These guys eat GOOD for being underwater for months at a time. I never would have guessed they had this kind of stuff. Figured they had MRE style rations.
Nuclear submarines generally have among the best amenities in the fleet. Food, facilities, etc as space allows. One old Russian model even has a swimming pool on board. 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.
100% true. Ive loaded pallets of ice cream, cooked pizza, wings are a constant in the hot drawer, lots of coffee. Movies are always playing, people are in sneakers, video game room. destroyers dont compare to how comfortable a submarine can be. you just trade all of it for space. fast attacks have absolutely no space and are insanely uncomfortable, boomers not so much.
Crew on subs are rewarded with the best food in the Navy because Moral and good mentality is vital for a submarine's survival and efficiency
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.
The one thing we NEVER ran out of is coffee
I could never live for months on end inside one of these thing. I would literally go insane. I imagine however important food is for morale of a normal soldier goes 10x for soldiers on a submarine to compensate for the added mental fatigue
I served on a sub 10 years ago. These video's take me back and do an excellent job of capturing the and representing the crew. It really sucks to be underwater but I'll always miss being part of a crew.
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.
Never been on a sup and never deeper under the sea than I live (holland 6 meters down ) but I already mis the crew I never had
I have been on camps whit the water scouts for my whole life love the brotherhood would be the main reason for me to ever join any navy

The amazing thing is the fact that every single thing in this submarine was carefully engineered with silence and combat ability in mind. This machines are amazing. The difference between WW2 U-Boat and modern ones is that in WW2 the people had to live around the machine in the moderns it’s the other way round.
Youd think that, but with all that kitchen equipment its no wonder they get detected in exercises all the time. ;)
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Nuclear subs are detected all the time because of the fact that they are nuclear. There are pumps running continually to provide cooling water for the reactor. They are nothing like the good ole diesel/electric.
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi All machinery on board is tested for acoustics and is almost always isolated from the hull by rubber shock absorbers. I would bet that mixer has rubber standoffs where it mounts to the deck plate. All tested at NSWC’s in noise isolation chambers.

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.

One of my brothers (now deceased) was career NAVY...served many years on the USS HALIBUT...his job was to run and maintain the reactor.

I don't know if food is the limiting factor on the diving capabilities or not, but it directly affects how long a sub can stay on patrol. I served on a boomer in the early 70's (4 years). Every Saturday night we had Pizza Night where a different division made pizza for the crew. I especially looked forward to the Saturday when pizzas were made by the nukes back in the engineering spaces. Some of the guys were of Italian lineage and they knew how to make great pizza.
5:27 : “What happens when you burn a pizza”?

WHY THERE IS A RADIATION SIGN IN THE KITCHEN!!?
The more I see of this series the more I respect submariners and the more I understand why people talk about learning from them for long term manned space missions.
The technologies and circumstances might not be identical but the human factors are. You can really see the similarities here with how they handle intersection to food and morale on both submarines and on the ISS. Balancing what they need, what they can store and prepare, what's good for morale. Its fascinating.
One day we'll see Destin going in the ISS casually speaking with the folks there.
that'd be nice.
Oh yeah. If Tom Cruise can manage to get up there to film a movie, it would open up the possibility for tourism a lot more. Price would of course still be an issue tho

"what?"

This video made me respect those chefs a lot. From managing food supplies to morale of the crew it definitely takes a lot of skill and experience that not everyone could do. It's an eye opener.
"Thunder Below" is an amazing book. My Commanding Officer would read passages from it every time someone on board earned their fish. These videos are bringing back many memories from my time in the Silent Service. I really enjoy all of your videos but this deep dive is extra special to me.
“You kinda have priority huh?”
“Of course with a hot pan”
I’ll let you all know being a chef, we have priority, GET OUTTA THE WAY 😂😂😂
I prefer the, "HOT, I'll burn ya!" Method of motivating people to move.
A call of "Hot behind!" is the best way I've ever seen to get a kitchen crew to hump the counter.
Either that or they wear it.
When I was holding a hot pan while working at a restaurant, my catchphrase was

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.

Don’t worry about it. General public’s food is often radiated anyway 🤷🏻♀️

For a moment I thought there was RAM stored in the kitchen, then I saw it was a radiation area sign, not a radiation materials sign.
I just wanted to say that this is my favorite video series on TH-cam, I revisit it over and over again. I find it both entertaining and educational to see what these men and women go through on a day to day basis, everything from when/what they eat to how they submerge/emerge. I didn't really know anything about how Submarines actually work before I watched these, but it's been such an enlightening series. Thank you so much to Destin, ICEX, the crew of the Toledo and every member of the armed services for what they do.
Hearing the constant sounds of machinery as you maneuvered around the boat brought back many fond memories. I was a DT3 (Dental Tech 3rd Class) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Oriskany CVA-34 during the 1966 Westpac Cruise where beyond the normal sounds of machinery were added the sounds from the catapults and arresting gear when conducting air operations. Thanks for the memories. Great series.
You guys got space thou most areas to serve dual or more purposes and storage is huge anything shifting is a major issue. If you can think of it stuff is stuffed into it.
My buddy is a nuclear engineer, been on a sub for longer than I've been married. Obviously they hit shore sometimes but he's spent the last roughly 7 years on board. It takes a massive amount of self discipline and a steady mind to basically live underwater in a tube.
If I was forced to live that I would literally blow my brains out. I imagine keeping routine is incredibly important
This series is boss. I've said it before but that the US Navy allowed you this access is awesome, many thanks to them. This is TV quality stuff!
Totally believe that quality food is super important to crew morale and therefore performance. 🍕
"allowed", well he is doing PR and the Navy pays for it.
In American military movies, you always see a lot of F-14s and F-18s. Because the Navy has always been much more happy to give access and let the world see their stuff than the other branches. (I hear the Air Force is particularly pedantic about never letting anyone close to anything.)
