    They call the burnt candle a clinker because it resembles the burnt coal when forging. In the bottom of the forge, there is a trap, so the gas line doesn't get clogged. And it clinks when cleaning the trap. So, the debris is called clinkers. Amazing as usual. Thanks for taking us along.

      @scissorbeaksgames8208 2 ปีที่แล้ว +200

      Submarine service is a training environment. Formal training is held weekly for every division. Informal training is held daily on every watch. Chiefs train their group, the more qualified watchstanders within that group then train everyone else who comes to them for assistance. It is very much hands on training but just as much of it is theoretical in nature. Everyone learns to teach their job to the new unqualified guys coming aboard. Every individual develops into a trainer/teacher. The more we train our shipmates to do their job, the more opportunity we have to learn more advanced tasks. The civilian job sector could learn a lot from this method.

    As a former submarine “A Ganger”, I loved this trip down memory lane!
    My old Geo Washington Class SSBN, the Theodore Roosevelt had different (older style) equipment, but it all worked the same way. Our monitoring equip was analog, of course.
    Also, our refrigerant was R-12, dichlorodiflouro methane. It was much more dangerous than R-134, and is no longer used.

    • @Tampahop

      Hehehe... I was an electrician aboard the USS Robert E. Lee (SSBN-601)blue. I made 6 Polaris deterrent patrols and was aboard when we made the last Polaris patrol ever. It's also when I became a Golden Shellback. 😁 This was definitely a trip down memory lane. To anyone who hasn't lived aboard a submarine, it is about as close as you will come to being aboard a spacecraft with one big difference. Everything you do has to overcome the pressure of seawater. This pressure can be significant as you go deeper.

    I've got a couple of observations:
    1. I feel like the CO2 Scrubbing mechanism is more similar to how our circulatory systems work, where our lungs maximize gas exchange between our blood and air, just like the sprayer tower.
    2. The heat exchanger is probably not just for pre-heating the rich amine but is also for cooling the lean amine coming out of the boiler stripper. Considering that dissolving a gas into a liquid is optimal with a cooler liquid, as well as the fact that you dont want too much amine in the fresh air, the hot amine coming out needs to be cooled down, and why not cool it down by heating other stuff up?

Destin explained himself how that was his role, and how the agreement was just that destin can talk to people and ask question if any popped up. If footage was cut, it would be due to either the officer stepping in during the questions, or something that was noticed when the navy reviewed the tapes later before releasing them to destin (fx if he filmed something unintentionally while walking around with the camera, that was not allowed to be shared).

    When I was in the navy I was on aircraft carriers being an AO. While walking to the Q-80 rec center, a guy on peir watch hollered at me if I was bored. I was given a tour of the ssbn-alaska, they were only in for a quick port stop. Definitely an eye opener on how life on a sub can be rough.

      @ 7th Boss, this was one of the hazards of Diesel Electric Submarines (Diesel Engines turn Generators... The Generators, Generate Electricity ... the Electricity is stored in the batteries... the electricity from the batteries is used to propel the submarine via the main motors,) A flood or even a small leak into the battery compartment had the potential to cause Chlorine gas. Sea water is used as ballast and the deeper the Submarines goes, the more pressure of the external sea water. This is one of the reasons that a mine exploding close to a Submarine had the potential to sink the submarine. The explosion would cause cracks in pipe work or break flanges and sea water would rush in, sea water then acts as ballast and the submarine sinks uncontrollably, sea water gets into the battery compartment causing the batteries to produce chlorine gas and shorting out the batteries causing loss of power to the main motors and no propulsion. The deeper that the Submarine sinks, the more seawater floods in because of the pressure and the more concentrated the toxic air/gas within the Submarine becomes. All in all , it's a nasty way to die. 785 German U-Boats, 52 U.S. Navy Submarines, 79 British Royal Navy Submarines and 128 Japanese Navy Submarines were lost/sunk during World War II. The total loss of all Submarines in WWII is estimated at 1,482 not including mini or midget submarines!

      Same here. Although it was over 45 years ago, I recall that we learned about the O2 generators and the CO2 scrubbers as part of our qual process, along with some rudimentary information about these machines. But watching this video, I learned several important details about them that I never previously knew! And at one point in my active duty time I was the ship's DCA ("A" gang division officer)!! Also, I never witnessed the burning of an O2 candle (don't even think I knew where they were stored!). And had either forgotten about, or perhaps never learned about the "backup system" to the CO2 scrubbers! So thanks for this "refresher +"!!
