What a brilliant insight into this fascinating history of Barrow,so well done and fabulously narrated! Very interesting and so well presented❤👍

Damn good stuff. Well done. what a professional 20 min insight. Chapeau

cool to see

It's prononounced ''nuuucccclear'' not ''nukular'' - bloody idiot.

I wanted to watch this but found the subtitles too distracting

It is in fact a nuclear submarine. Not a newculear submarine Say new and clear newclear. I know it's not spelled that way but, it's not newculear Not rocket salad guys.

What an excellent documentary. Im glad I found it on my recommendations! I remember seeing Jim Perks as Teacher in a documentary years ago training aspiring COs

Well done

Im sorry but I know of women being subs, But those of the male servicemen,,, it's a hard gig for women to understand, Being subject to being crushed instantly if structure fails, Being a target 24/7 , every hour you are fragile, Those landside wouldn't have a scooby, I have not been a submariner ever, Portsmouth gave me a taster,, It's just unthinkable to ignore the 24/7- 365 crushy denty,, The women onboard are bigger men than I, Respect 💯

That's just genius,, food, Nelson is impressed,

1987-1991 CVN-71 no contact other than a very rare snail mail connection. Today's connections are Luxury! See Monty-Python...

I served aboard an SSN, 1977-81. We have reunions every two years. The ship went out of service twenty years. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t know anyone who served in different years from yours. Because we all had the same experience.

Nucular downvote

How do you get rid of strong odor inside while submerged?

Royal Navy submarine deployments now stretch to around 9 months ⏳, a stark increase from previous durations. For example, HMS Audacious recently completed a 363-day deployment-nearly a full year! 🚢 Such extended missions understandably take a toll on mental health 😟, with the Royal Navy acknowledging rising stress levels among its ranks. Initiatives like the HMS Oardacious Submarine Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund aim to support submariners and their families 🫂, but the strain of these prolonged deployments is leading to higher attrition rates 🚪. It’s a serious issue that needs addressing. 🇬🇧

That life WAS exciting. Well put.....we just NEVER talked about what we did. Another reason we were called the "silent service". We kept what we did quiet. That, and the threat of life in federal prison ensured that!😅🤣😂🫠

Well done!! I did two full sea tours on two different classes of USN submarines. "Submarine Showers" were exactly that.....wet up, soap down head to toe - water turned off in between - then rinse off. On my first "spec-op", or Special Operation, NO ONE else, not even the Captain took a shower for over TWO weeks. We got "bird baths" as we called them. The ONLY people who showered were the cooks and the mess cooks, or "cranks" because of handling food. Tuat was the ONLY time being a crank was worth it.😅😂😂

Great docu 👍 Thank you very much for sharing. Salute from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

God bless you all, for through your sacrifice, looking after us all.

It takes a special person to serve on a submarine. I don't think I could do it.

I did stints on Revenge and Vanguard 😊. Happy days.

This is just talking heads, no submarines. Thumbs down.

It sucks

Salute.

I was a chef on Resolution, and can confirm the food we served was excellent.

This weapons don't make the world any safer,theres always a possibility one may accidentally press the launch burton and all HELL🔥🔥🔥 breaks loose,remember the what happened in hawaii.

I have just found this and I am just in awe. To be away from home and under water for so long and the messages from home I was like wow as to have 40 words from home which has gone through 6-7 different people and to not get the bad news is a good thing of course but I can’t imagine the feeling of coming home after the operation is done and find things out and there is such courage in everyone and those who are at home . Thank you for making this , I had a vision of it being a much smaller sub marine ( I’d not seen any before and so this caught my eye as something good to watch ) and to see when it came up out of the water and how big it was and total respect especially to the chefs and kitchen staff to get all those meals done and then everything washed and put away amd I thought it would be like airline meals and they go with enough onboard for some reason and just heat things . I bit have more questions and so will have to look for more content, My great uncle and then 2 or 3 of their sons served in the army l I was litrle and they had left by then but I saw some photos and it takes a special kind of person serve for any of the army and navy . Thank you all for your service

Thank you for posting this! I never had the privilege of serving, but I am everything submarine. Many, many thanks to all that have served in all divisions of our military! Submariner's have got to be a special breed though. That is not a life that just anyone can live. I would say that you would have to be very mentally fit. I doubt there is a submarine documentary or movie I have not seen. Many more than once or twice. I really like the old black and white movies from WWII. But my favorite is the german movie Das Boot. I'm guessing that was probably as close to the way things really could have been as you can get. For pure entertainment purposes, Crimson Tide is my favorite. Again, my hat is off to all of you submariner's out there. That has got to be one hell of an experience! I like the "I can't tell you. If I would tell you, I would have to kill you" part of their stories. That says so much about what they did do on their deployments, and their strength of caracter to never reveal anything. Very commendable. ..They say it is the best food in the military. You all deserved it!

Was in the Mob for 22 years Victorious 97 to 99 Tireless 99 to 2008 Rest of time skimmer Glad I did it but equally glad I'm out and self employed now

Still my go back to song.... soo good😊

Very simular to the US Submarine Force. BZ Brothers! US Navy Submariner 1987-93.

I’m Australian and went to college in Barrow for a year. Thanks for that.

UA-cam - Bath at war / Admiralty at Bath

Excellent! 👍🙂

So proud of you guys who do this. Such great friendships and the humour is really great

can you have life "on " a sub or to be correct "in" it - a tad wet to be on it!

As an ex - submariner, I have a soft spot for Barrow having been there several times. What a history!!!!

F-ck that.

Loved this video very well done.

Grandfather, Father and numerous uncles and their wives worked at Vickers in Barrow. Shipyard fodder as described in Uncle Maurice’s book. Brilliant documentary but just one small correction. The original A class submarines had petrol rather than diesel engines and were rather hazardous to operate. The A7 lies at the bottom of Plymouth Sound , intact and home to some rather large conger eels.

I was army back in late 80's and was in Haslar recovering from bout of malaria, while revovering they took over to the sub escape training tower at gosport for a nose, at end of that day I knew I was better being a soldier than a submariner, like no way I had the X to be in subs - takes a certain kind of dude to do ok in subs

Having just watched the perisher documentary (how to command a nuclear submarine) on Amazon prime it's good to see Jim again

I wish I could understand what they are saying.

My last boat was the Swiftsure which I sadly left as a L/s (S)(SM) in 1990, and yes I really miss it !! Two minutes per man per day !! I have one of those bad ones to find my wife was seriously ill when I got back from patrol, which promted me to a compassionate discharge after joining in 1979. But even today my family and friends don't know what I did !

Submarines are not undetectable, a tad dramatic narrator.

5:53 Kalev sank somewhere in the Baltic but her sister, Lembit, survives here in Tallinn in the Seaplane Museum.

i met Dave at a pub in Roa island, an absolute gentleman who took his time to speak to us all and answered some questions. xxx

That was very impressive. I'm totally awed by the enterprise and ingenuity of those who make these vessels. Long may they continue to do so, because the baddies are still out there and we need our defence.

Jim Perks - wasn't hecon a series about the Perisher course selecting submarine commanders?

Constant learning. Constant testing. Constant qualifying. Constant drilling. Constant vigilance. Proud to have served. Glad it's over. My Dolphins go with me when I meet Saint Peter.
