I was on the commissioning crew back in 83. Over 30 years since commissioning, Michigan still continues to serve as a valuable asset to our nation.
I was born in '82, and never served. Yet, I always thank you and the crews you served with so that I didn't _need_ to serve.
Only .02% of Men in the Navy Qualify to join the Submarine Force a 24/7 job no sunlight ,rain , wind ,contact with loved ones . One of the Best Times of my life. A Brotherhood undivided I would do it again , It was once my life and always be Proud that I am a Submariner
Really!?

Thank you for you service Paul. I'm also a US Navy Submariner, I served on the USS Pennsylvania SSBN 735. My Dad was also in the Navy, but he wasn't a submariner. He had a hard time at first understanding why I volunteered to go submarine duty, but after he was able to get a tour of my boat, he told me that I was where I belonged, and that he supported me. I became a part of the Silent Service on December 23rd, 2003, and even though I'm no longer serving, I too am still a Submariner. What boat(s) were you stationed on?

My dad spent most of his 30 year career as a submariner, got to go on a tiger cruise when I was 7 for a few days when he was the XO, I remember I was so scared they would forget to seal the hatches my dad told who I assume was the OIC at the time to double check the hatches to make sure they were sealed. It was such a cool experience to live on a sub for a few days even if it was 20 years ago I still remember it vividly.
My dad was Chief Electrician on several subs over 22 years. We got to go on what they called a Family Cruise for a day. I got to be in the control room during some emergency manoevers, look out the periscope, and shoot water slugs. I was probably middle school age, if I remember right. Aside from the queasiness until you dive, it was pretty fun. Sadly, due to accidents the Navy has had since then, they don't let family on board much while underway anymore. We'd go visit dad while he was on duty if he had the overnight watch once in a while as well. Fast attacks, so not much room in any of the compartments or hallways. Stairs were more like ladders. Nothing much like you see in the movies, where most of the subs are the missile subs that are much larger on the inside. I can't imagine doing what my dad did for so long.
RIP to all lost submariners trapped, crushed, and drowned. Worst way to die. I hope they’re in a better place now.
very quickly.....- I would lose-my-shit even being in one......
It's not the worst way to die..being irradiated burned alive or being beat to death with a hammer is lots worse.

My dad is the one saying "Dive Dive". I was 2 years old when they filmed this.
I feel very good that you got to see your dad in this old movie I made.

My grandfather was a navigator on SSBN 654 George C. Marshall. Spent his naval career in a sub. Can't imagine doing that job myself.
After the Challenger disaster, Nasa adopted the Submarine Force QA systems. Think about that. We had better quality control than literal rocket scientists.
My dad served on the USS Ohio in the 90s and really early 2000s. He's told me so many stories about life on board.
I was on the Georgia around that time. Ask him if he remembers the name, "Oh-hydro"
Small World! Ask your Dad if he knew me. I was on the Gold Crew 96-2001.

And sinister!

Dont blaspheme
Hard to be stealthy if you're clumsy.
I knew a former U-Boat Captain and they are not kidding when they say that things can go wrong in a dive. His first trip on a U-Boat the boat went out of control during the first drill and went to the bottom. Fortunately it was not in deep water, only 150'. So they were able to pump out and get up to the surface without a problem. He told me when he heard the Chief say: "Boat is out of control!" he nearly panicked. On his first dive of his own boat they had a similar problem, but got the boat under control and leveled her off. He told me the scariest time was when they were heading back to France and had to run submerged because there were so many British aircraft in the sky and a lot of U-Boats were lost within miles of land. He ordered the boat to be brought up to 30 meters and the boat shot out of the water and broke the surface at 1:30 in the afternoon on a clear day. They got back under, but he said that the Chief said that "We're lucky that the Tommy's don't like to miss lunch."
I almost missed the U-boat part. I assumed he was with the allies. Which boat was he with?
I have no experience in subs, but I've read extensively - and my Dad with intimate with several members of the U P Submariners Society (with several famous Fleet Boat skippers in it)- and between them, I've come to believe that diving is actually the most dangerous maneuver. Things are on a knife's edge, and just ONE wrong thing can mean a sunken boat.
My dad served in n submarines, from USS Silversides SS 236 a Gato class WW2 diesel boat to USS Scamp SS(N) 588 a Skipjack class fast attack boat. I’m very proud of him, I don’t think I could have done that myself!
Old time fast boat sailor here, Chief Rutherford the diving officer was a shipmate of mine back when, Thanks for the memories David
Same here... aboard USS Flasher
Same here USS Sturgeon 637
I served with QM2 Rutherford late 70's on Sam Houston 609B. I was a SINS tech.
All the people here complaining that they are saying ship. They are qualified US Submarine sailors, I guarantee they know more than the armchair generals. The correct term is "Submerge the Ship". It is a boat, but when they submerge they say "submerge the ship"
The terms ship and boat are interchangeable when it comes to submarines.
The enlisted crew of a fast attack submarine always uses "boat" in any informal communication, e.g., "I'm heading back to the boat" or "I've got duty so I'll be sleeping on the boat tonight." What is said in formal directives is a different matter. There is a manual that dictates the exact wording of anything said over the internal communication system.
Correct ^
Boat is a generic term for any type of vessel. Submarines are very much generic as they create their own branch of naval vessels.
Old Sub Sailor The old 1946 Navy Blue Jackets manual defines any vessel that can traverse the open sea as a "ship" but a "boat" cannot and has to be carried on deck by the ship. However, a submarine can traverse the open sea and is classified as a ship. Does this make any sense to you folks out there?
Now i know where the Cold Waters Ultimate Mod guys have the "Dive dive" sound from :D
My first time at sea was for sea trials. Wed had some new equipment on the boat and a hole had to be cut into the hull and then welded up again. Our guarantee that it had been done correctly. Those who did the welding came out on sea trials with us 😂

@@larrysmith5522To be fair, the _K-19_ was among the first Soviet nuclear-powered submarines. The Hotels weren't exactly capable boats, not like the Yankess that replaced them. While not much better, the Yankees showed improvement.

These subs can go to around 1600 feet deep a sperm whale can go 10 times deeper exceeding 10000 feet deep stay down for over an hour on one breath of air that's really amazing.
Whale is 10000 times smaller and don't have empty spaces filled with air inside :)
@Chad Mower yes, a whales engineering is truly mind blowing.
@@stevejory9679 A Whales engineering is remarkable, yes, but a human's engineering is sufficient to give us the capability of creating nuclear submarines
Our subs can go a lot more deeper than 1600. 1600 is just the safe number. The real number is a secret, but it is probable around 1 mile.
@@baccamafia4363, I take it the H80 steel used in their construction, I think, gives a clue.

Kind of a weak alarm. Major let down.
@@swainer8014 swagu?
The submarine is referred to a boat slangly. As in “ I left my wallet on the boat” or “I’m headed to the boat “ or “hey what boat are you on”
But during actual operating procedures SHE is refereed to as a ship. As in. “ diving officer, submerge the ship”. Or “ the ship is proceeding to periscope depth” or “ rig ship for lady visitors!!!
Or SOP ships operating procedures. NOT , BOP boats operating procedures. Lol
Hope this clears it up.

What about COB (chief of the boat)?
It always bugs me when they refer to submarines as ships. I was taught years ago (RAN) that one “goes ONTO a ship” or “gets INTO a boat”
I like this video very much... Dive... Dive...
Hi David, thank you for this great video clip - brings back a lot of memories from younger days on SSBN-642. Thank you for the memories, Ciao, L
I want to thank you for your service-incredible service I know because I filmed it-and for commenting on my film. David Hoffman-filmmaker
Hi David, thank you for your service as well. I spent 28 years in the Navy (strangely enough, mostly above the "waterline") and I must tell you that I have never served with a unit that was so tightly knit (esprit-de-corps) and respectful of one another than a submarine crew and I have been part of many units in my career. The submarine crews were different, highly educated and trained, well-behaved (at sea ;-), professional and extremely caring/supportive of each other. I had spent most of my life in squadrons (my submarine stunt was a dissociated tour, I was at the right place at the right time).
I learned a lot on her (USS Kamehameha), our Gold Crew was... brilliant (no pun intended)! Peace be with you, Ciao, L

The old klaxon dive alarm we so much better sounding. My third boat had the old school klaxon in control and would use that over the 1MC instead of the stupid electronic one
Agree. I was a Nav ET, and one of my Chiefs had a klaxon that he would plug in for our initial dives. Sometimes, newer doesn't always mean better.
that’s my dad on the radio saying “dive dive” !!!!
Just to prove you are not pulling my leg, what boat was he on?

Even though submarines are one of the coolest things in this world i would never want to be inside that death trap under water :P
Is that M.B.Keef? What a character on San Francisco!!
You will look serious as hell too like the crew diving under very deep ocean powerful water all that pressure surrounding you.
The US Navy learned so much, from the loss of Thresher. Permit and other 593 Class boats were tested pierside and a cause was determined. Several systems were redisigned and a new protocol was developed; called SUBSAFE. SUBSAFE is a testing protocol. If a piece doesn't pass the testing procedure, it's not installed. I qualified on USS Jacksonville SSN-699, on November 10, 1993.
It has been 60 years since I served on the diesel "BOATS". Every one called those old beauties BOATS. Smelly, cramped but crews that tight and dedicated. Fantastic memories. These new nukes are as big as a cruiser so I guess they qualify as ships. I hear they even get to take showers while on patrol. LOL
Been 56 years since I left the Boats....USS Atule (SS403)....diving was two klaxons followed by "dive dive"....surfacing was "surface surface surface" followed by three klaxons. Greatest time of my life. All you old submariners will appreciate "Iife is easy if you're QUALIFIED"!!! Scottie RM1(SS)

Submarines once! Submarines twice!
High risk, an unenviable position down there.
The order to submerge is given by the OD,followed by the spoken words "Dive! Dive!" over the 1MC; the Klaxon is sounded twice. When surfacing, the words "Surface! Surface! Surface!" are spoken over the 1MC, followed by sounding the Klaxon three (3) times.
No need to sound alrm on routine surfacing... only on Emergency Surfacing
"Dive! Dive!" Whoooooooop! Whooooooooop! "Dive! Dive!"
That's only applicable to aircraft
Pull up! . . . .Pull up!

i really miss the AWOOOGA klaxon
It's still used.
Great to hear that it's still used!
"Dive! Dive!" AWOOOOOOOOGA! AWOOOOOOOGA!
That really made you feel like you were on a sub. That other alarm was bogus. I miss those days. Way to old now but thank you for the opportunity to have served aboard a United States nuclear submarine.
I wonder how many lessons we learned from decades of submarine construction and operation that went into the space program.
I remember teaching a guy to run a shop. He had come out of the Royal Navy as a Chief Petty Officer, he told me that the Captain of his nuclear boat went to the USA on an exchange and he reckoned that the American service was too reliant on the “book” and not given to using their initiative. He said someone only has to learn your operating procedures and your as good as dead. I am not trying to provoke a them and us argument as I don’t have any experience myself. Just thought it was an experience worth sharing.
In their defense if you two fatal mishaps like the Thresher and Scorpion, you'd rely on the book too.
Water isn’t pumped from the ballast tanks, they are pumped to and from trim tanks located throughout the boat.
That diving alarm has a Serious case of Asthma, eh??
Not the same diving alarm as when I was in.........miss the boats.USS Barbel SS580USS Patrick Henry SSBN599B
ALARM!!

Hey I’m from Michigan and it’s a nuclear Michigan class sub! Yay!
Actually it's an Ohio class sub, second in it's class too be exact, served on her in the 80's.
i only half listened to the commentary on this video as I was really disappointed that the word "Dive" is in the title 3 times. Submarine operations stipulates the word is used 2 times to initiate that operation. The surfacing operation is initiated by announcing "Surface" 3 times. At least in the video, the actual submariners knew how to do it properly. My qual boat was USS Remora (SS-487).

What is truly harsh is there are not enough heads and showers for the crew.

I know they shout "Dive! Dive! Dive!" When they get ready to submerge... So, do they also shout "Die! Die! Die!" When they get ready to fire a weapon? 😁
My great uncle designed the coolant system on the submarine class the thresher was in
He was on the uss permit the second ship in the clas was the thresher was in and was the thresher class untill it sank
Hey Hoffman.....it is DIVE, DIVE Only 2 Dives. Only the movies and the media get that wrong. which are you?
The boomer I was on had a hovering system.
Its increidible how this huge several tonne ships go under the wave line so fast, and how peacful the sea looks 2 seconds after it sinks... no clue, no signal, no tell that a several tonne warmachine is right under the foam. No wonder why u-boats were so terrifying, you could be sailing perfectly well, with a clear 180 degree view of the ocean and a sky with no clouds to hide planes. Perfect day to be in the ocean you think, no enemies anywhere near to your location, and if they come close, you'll see them comming. out of nowhere a torpedo hits the ship, the perfectly peacful day turns into chaos, as unprepared sailors scramble to fix whatever breach was made while still baffled to where the torpedoe came from. Then another.. the crew realizes the problem, a german u boat emerges while your ship sinks and the unprepared crew sinks with it. In minutes the ship went from joy and ease to combat to sinking. No warning, no "general quarters" order given as a ship approached, just a loud bang, fire and water comming in... sailors dead before they could even realize what was happening.
And this, could be the fate of any ship. Not even a clear sky and clear horizon was a guarantee that you wouldnt die in minutes. Death could come from the most peaceful looking ocean.

You do not pump water to and from the ballast tanks while submerged. The ballast tanks remain flooded during the dive. Water is pump to and from and between TRIM TANKS during the dive.

Some very interesting comments from ex-submariners. Can anyone tell me if you're aware of the movement and attitude of the submarine when you're submerged? I guess that in a normal dive or surfacing you're aware of the vessel being somewhat tilting towards bow or stern, but I'm sure I've seen film of a submarine almost leaping out of the water for some reason, and that must be very difficult for the crew inside. And as the submarine starts to break the surface, you must start to be aware of wave motion. When submerged, does the submarine tilt sideways when turning? Thanks for any information from submariners!
Yes, you can feel the boat turn when going fast or changing depth quickly. Seas have to be really rough to feel anything below PD.
