@@johnleeson6946 What was it like working in machinery / propulsion spaces on a SSN boat. Did you get to enter the reactor compartment when it was shutdown? Were you ever concerned you may not ever surface if there was a real emergency? Submariners have a lot of guts and trust in their commanders.

I know it's a simulation but just thinking about the engineering that goes into these subs is amazing 2 million pounds lighter is a huge amount of stress for the structure to handle and the engineering that went into the designing is impressive
A bad simulation... WW1 and WW2 subs often had to do this, an emergancy action to get to the surface. The sub is going to get to the surface as quick as it can (akin to an express elevator)... but that upward motion is not going to simply stop when it gets there. The sub will continue to move upward and forward until it's own weight takes over, and then it's a nasty pendulum effect (up and down), until the sub eventually settles on the surface. In other words, this is going to seem like the worst rollercoaster ride you've ever had. The sub, once it reaches the surface, now being exposed to waves/etc, on the surface. Now, it's not just the rapid vertical movements, as the sub settles on the surface - depending on the sea conditions, it is likely to now experience rolling (side to side) - and there is very little time to adjust.
ALL RIDERS, ALL RIDERS...Please keep your hands and feet inside until the ride comes to a complete stop and as always thank you for riding USS Kentucky.
Holly Hell that's a crazy coincidence. The Sailor (Dive Watch) leaning over between the two sitting sticks (Helms / Planesman) is retiring soon, and I have two months left on my first boat. He's an outstanding Senior Chief. Really does care about his sailors and mission. I may have worked with him only a few times, but he certainly left an awesome impression on me.
No it isn't. The chief of the watch on the San fran went to mast. It was dropped for obvious reasons. The ood couldn't give the order because he went throat first into the conn at AAF. Should it be an immediate action? Probably, but running into uncharted mountains at flank isn't exactly a common occurrence.
Prior to an Emergency Blow, the Diving Officer should check with Sonar and call out any close aborad contacts prior to surfacing. A Baffle check of 30 degrees both port and starboard would make sure you did not surface into a a warship or collide with a freighter, fishing boat or naked woman riding a Spinnaker on a sailboat. No need to panic because of flooding. Wait for report DC party and rate of flooding in main seawater bay or engineering spaces. Report on the 1 MC damage and water rising every 15 seconds. At least that was how we reacted in a flooding situation. The Main Ballast Blow was only to be used when all else failed. Did he say 600 or 800 feet? You would ascend at a rapid rate and no stopping once you started.
@@reneacosta6422 Uh, Rene (Frogger?), you're kidding, right?! If the OOD orders an Emergency Blow, the Chicken Switches are opened!!!! The boat bolts to the surface... No time to do a sonar sweep. Unlike Captain Waddle that surfaced his boat that sunk a Japanese boat full of school children. I knew him at S8G prototype, 8205... Typical Annapolis "Ring Tapper" through and through... Any Navy man can understand my terminology. Fast Boat Sailor, Nuke, Blue Nose.
Best spot to be in during an EB from Test Depth is all the Forward in the Bow Compartment. It used to take us about 90 seconds at Full once they hit the switches in Control to broach the Surface. Being that far forward you can really feel it as the bow comes out of the water. However….Trust Me when I say you NEVER want to hear the words “Flooding in the Torpedo Room” when you’re near Test Depth. We’re not special, unless you mean we’re “Special” in a mentally unbalanced sort of way. They don’t select us for being normal; “Normal” people don’t spend months at sea in Nuclear Powered sewer pipes…. Then there’s our tale of losing our freezers and refrigeration capability a month into a 4 month mission (we had multiple Freon leaks under ice; you know that Phosgene isn’t very breathable). Weeks of eating dry stores and canned deli meat, cheese (we put what we could in Tube 4; it’s 28 degrees in the Arctic) and Spam. It was years before I was able to eat ham or salami, and to my knowledge no one on that mission has ever even looked at Spam again. I managed to lose 70 lbs though, our YNC 100 lbs. Others more, some less. Submarine Cooks are amazing though; you’d be surprised at what they can do with canned tamales…..🤔🤢
A smart, useful, valuable, insight into how competent submarine crews get back to the surface in a rush. No one is made richer by a crushed submarine.....
I just read the term "chicken switch" elsewhere and just had to see what they actually looked like. During the two minutes of time it took for me to find this, I pictured a box with a lid that flipped open to reveal a big red button.
I once heard of a Bad Conduct Discharge referred to as a Big Chicken Dinner... (And, no, it was not me. I was escorting an airman to prison at Lowry Air Force Base.)
Actually, that valve in the dive trainer appears to be part of a low-pressure ballast tank blow system, where the lever actuates a flapper-style valve disk inside the valve body to allow (typically) 10-30 PSI air (from a large blower) to enter the ballast tank. This would be used only at shallow depths, such as periscope depth. High-pressure ballast blow systems are also used to surface from greater depths, using a system of ~4500 PSI air flasks and remotely-actuated Marotta valves to control the airflow into the ballast tanks. The HP blow chicken switches are typically detent-style toggle switches that are similar in appearance to switches used on military aircraft.
been there done that. at the end of our patrol we would surface by emergency blow as PM. diving officer would throw the switches with the forward tanks pulled then the aft about a second later.
My dad served on the Houston (which was the Dallas in the movie), but after they made the film. They had a big picture of that shot of the sub breaching the surface in their chief's quarters. If my dad weren't on shore duty at the time of filming, he could have been an extra.
I remember going through this when I was stationed at NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE IN GROTON CONNECTICUT. We were in the Submarine simulator and the Senior Chief programmed a JAM DIVE. But unbeknown to him another instructor at the SUBMARINE SCHOOL told me about the causality of a JAM DIVE. Now back then to mitigate this you had to order ALL AHEAD FLANK, FULL RISE ON THE PLANES, FISHTAIL THE RUDDER AND EMERGENCY BLOW THE FORWARD TANKS FIRST AND THEN THE AFT TANKS. Then as you are approaching the surface you have to expel a RED DYE to inform all surface vessels that there is a Submarine Emergency surfacing and will breech the surface at a very high rate of speed. Has any of you ever heard about the SSBN that hit an uncharted underwater mountain and lost part of its bow? CLASSIFIED INFORMATION! Now that was on a simulator and it was extremely scary.
Yeah, that submarine rammed into ground and the crew immediately blew the MBT without much waiting, however they totally lost vertical control and jumped out of the water, then splashed down hard. Fire started at engine room and the sub began to drown again (it was still too heavy even after the blow, with all that incoming water). At this moment they supposed to die, but engineers managed to put out the fire just on time and started engines which pulled sub back to surface purely on Bow and Stern planes.
It's a simulator... First off, they would be a reply from the Chief of the Watch (COW), an announcement, and the Diving Alarm (albiet for surfing.) Second, the COW would blow the forward group first to get a positive UP angle and them blow the after group to continue the Emergency Surface. Yes, I've been through a few of these, but for testing purposes only. Of course when it's done from Test Depth, it's a hell of a ride!!!!! Oh, as a "Nuke" (8205-S8G), we didn't go to Sub School. After a year or more in Nuclear Power School/Prototype, the Navy knew it would be a vacation for us. Our Sub School was on a real sub....!!!!!
The trainer in Groton was lame in November 1980. That Thames river water froze your balls off in the flooding simulator. I can't find a Band it kit at Hime depot Wtf?
I broke that Maf when they had me stand COW as a nub in bess, i flung every switch. CO missed wakeup, we’re going to the roof! Pump 5K forward, we’re going to the roof!
As an old submarine USS John C Calhoun SSBN chief of the watch, you blow the front tanks first wait 4 seconds and blow the aft. BTW I am IC1 (SS) division LPO and also qualified as diving officer.
Question: where does the air come from that allows the ballast tanks to push out the water and become buoyant? My assumption is basically there is an advanced air compressor on board that pushes in the air, but what if that air compressor is damaged? Where does the air come from? Would they ever take the air they’re actually breathing in the living space and force that into the ballast tanks to become buoyant? That would take away a lot of their oxygen but as long as they get on the surface immediately, which I would say the they would, then their oxygen problem would be solved I would think.
If this is in real time without edits: The boat is at 600 ft. Flooding reported in engine room. Emergency blow ordered. It begins around 1:00. They rocket through 500 ft in under a minute?! Jesus Christ. That’s fantastic. And this is done _entirely_ using the ballast system and not engines at all? But what does it feel like for the crew? Has anyone experienced this real world or only simulation? Do navies train emergences like this on real subs?
Man movies have lied to me. Where is the klaxon? Where is the airline pilot voice going "General quarters! All hands man your battle stations! This is not a drill"
I just don't understand. The Marines have camo to blend in to either desert or woodland. The Navy went to blue camo's. So if they abandon ship and didnt have time to grab floaties/flares etc,.. how will they be seen wearimg blue camos in the ocean
Terry Akuna depends, I’ve been on boats during emergency surfaces where we just did them for testing and it seemed pretty smooth, ive been on them during genuine flooding and it feels like it takes and age to reach the surface and the angle up is crazy.
Best exchange on the show JAG. "Colonel maybe later we'll do an emergency surfacing drill, blow us out of the water like Moby Dick" Mac: Oh thank you Commander but theres no need to entertain me. "Hell Colonel, it entertains ME!"
It's the trainer over at sub school in Groton. It's unlikely that a real sub would take something as serious as an emergency blow lightly enough to do it for entertainment purposes.
at which dept exterior pressures supersedes the emergency blow pressure ??? I mean if you were to try to expel water 1000ft deep is there not a risk outside pressure being higher than the emergency blow pressure ?
@@mannys9130 the most recent Submarine I ve seen was built in 1980s would you trust Emergency blow pressures systems which were created almost 40 years ago? 🤔 🤔 🤔
@@niceboy60 The current SSN is the Virginia class. A new SSBN is being activated to replace the Ohio class. Our Los Angeles class subs have been rebuilt to flight 3. So there are wayyyyy newer subs than the 1980's flight 1 Los Angeles. The emergency blow system is critical and it's maintained very strictly. We have the Sub Safe program which was spawned by the Scorpion and Thresher accidents. Manufacture, maintenance, and repair are taken EXTREMELY seriously. I'm talking, you can trace the origin of a rubber o-ring seal back to the date and factory it was made. The Thresher accident highlighted just how absolutely critical the emergency blow system is. She sank because an unforeseen design flaw in the air valves caused ice buildup within them which blocked off all air flow and prevented the sub from surfacing. Thresher sank to crush depth and was lost with all hands. That mistake will never happen again. So, I do think one can trust the emergency blow function of an active duty US sub. In peacetime, all there is to do is maintain, upgrade, and test the fleet.
It is probably really weird to drive a vehicle and not have any indicator of where you are going... Obviously you can't have a windscreen like you would on any other vehicle, but you'd think the "driver", or helmsman would have a sonar image, a map, or something... Nope, all of that info is for the captain and the navigator. Whatever the captain tells you, you do... you are basically driving blind.
That's more true than you think. if your Commander misplots the course or uncharted mountains pop up, bad things can happen. About a decade ago, a U.S. sub ended up crashing into a underwater mountain. They were able to get the ship to the surface and towed away, but it was extremely close to not making it to the surface.
Note the now-abandoned "blueberry uniforms." I could never make sense of them. If I'm in the infantry, I want to wear cameo. If my position is overrun, I want to be able to hide and evade capture. But if I'm in the Navy and my ship or sub sinks, I want to be seen. Being a POW beats drowning. And I do drown, I want my body to be found.
I'm wondering out of curiosity what if they were aboard a 1941 submarine how would the operated what I mean is what if they got stuck for example as a teaching learning experience how they learn how to operate a 1941 submarine you seen the TV show Survivor I would like to see them go aboard a 1941 submarine and would live aboard the submarine for 6 months
Little fun!Are this guys who,surfaced submarine so fast,when,Submarine Feb.2022, entering the Russian national borders waters noticed Russian Frigate 4km into the line. lol. Maybe sea currency was to strong,or they have to miss,Japaneese Island smaller than the sub. Peace!

Staged. One sailor jumped the gun. Had his hand on the chicken switch before the order to blow was given. You would never do that, never! Accidently blowing in a combat situation where you have frigates or even destroyers actively looking for you is death. Its the same concept as a gun, finger never touches the trigger except to pull it. edit- Before i get slack, i realize engine room flooding is an extremely disastrously situation and the order to blow is most likely to be given anyways. My observation was just that, an observation and I am by no means a submariner.
I've been for a World War II submarine those are real submarines the u.s. Navy submarine probably would not know how to operate a World War II submarine from 1941
I would hate to be in one of those Submarines duo to way to Much Borocracy even on Emergencies .

"Sorry our Submarine run in to some problems when we were spying on your International Waters could you send us a nearby recovery vehicle 🤔 🤦"
There’s a woman at the gas station that for $5 will give you an “emergency blow” but I don’t think she has any experience onboard a sub or surface vessel
If it hasn't already been said, this is not on a sub. It is in the Dive Trainer in a building at the Sub Base.

1:31...AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA..
We will talk about it on the surface.😎
Question: where does the air come from that allows the ballast tanks to push out the water and become buoyant?
My assumption is basically there is an advanced air compressor on board that pushes in the air, but what if that air compressor is damaged? Where does the air come from? Would they ever take the air they’re actually breathing in the living space and force that into the ballast tanks to become buoyant? That would take away a lot of their oxygen but as long as they get on the surface immediately, which I would say the they would, then their oxygen problem would be solved I would think.
The air used for emergency blow is stored in huge air banks
@@robertgrant2934 - Thanks. I guess they just have to hope nothing happens to those air tanks.
nice sim
hell on the Cavalla as Chief of the watch you had a 4 second time to push the Front . . . . Back if not you would come up up side down... a bad thing
This isn’t the USS Kentucky 😂😂 it’s the USS Nevada
If this is in real time without edits: The boat is at 600 ft. Flooding reported in engine room. Emergency blow ordered. It begins around 1:00. They rocket through 500 ft in under a minute?! Jesus Christ. That’s fantastic. And this is done _entirely_ using the ballast system and not engines at all? But what does it feel like for the crew? Has anyone experienced this real world or only simulation? Do navies train emergences like this on real subs?
Alright chief, put us on the roof.
2 Million pounds lighter!
at what pressure is "high pressure air" on a modern submarine?
Not 100% sure but I believe it to be 300 BAR or 4500 PSI...
4500 PSI
Shields up, Red Alert
Solute from Milwaukee Wisconsin deployment of Queen Elizabeth
No collision alarm for the flooding, COW pulls the switches before the order was given, no “emergency surface” on the 1MC. So many mistakes!
Absolutely!
On the 709 our SOP was to also blow forward, then aft, not at same time, not sure if they changed it.
LOL! SO TRUE
I'm not military, but this is a training pod...with cameras. They gotta make it flashy for the news, even if it's wrong.
come on big D fly
This is a simulator is it not?
Man movies have lied to me. Where is the klaxon? Where is the airline pilot voice going "General quarters! All hands man your battle stations! This is not a drill"
Needs to make a chicken noise when you pull the levers.

@@anthonyciampaglia3453 yes
its not wise to allow a soldior to be insulted because of idiots who can be eliminated
Kind of weird seeing an aircraft-like yoke on a submarine
Standard stuff, sort of. Because ... at some point they switched to Joysticks. For sure on the Virginia class.
Strange they're wearing blue camouflage uniforms...in a submarine.
😄
This is simulator room
I just don't understand. The Marines have camo to blend in to either desert or woodland. The Navy went to blue camo's. So if they abandon ship and didnt have time to grab floaties/flares etc,.. how will they be seen wearimg blue camos in the ocean
You dont wear camo uniforms underway on any vessel you wear coveralls. Also they arent the blue camo anymore.
Not as dramatic as I expected ... Watching it surface from the outside it looks like it would really suck being inside.
Terry Akuna depends, I’ve been on boats during emergency surfaces where we just did them for testing and it seemed pretty smooth, ive been on them during genuine flooding and it feels like it takes and age to reach the surface and the angle up is crazy.
@hamblyrock. Precisely my experience!
It doesn't suck, it is a wild ride hehe. That being said, this is merely a simulator, which honestly, does not come close to the real thing.
Best exchange on the show JAG.
"Colonel maybe later we'll do an emergency surfacing drill, blow us out of the water like Moby Dick"
Mac: Oh thank you Commander but theres no need to entertain me.
"Hell Colonel, it entertains ME!"

Wait this was not a simulator?
I think it is a simulator.
It's the trainer over at sub school in Groton. It's unlikely that a real sub would take something as serious as an emergency blow lightly enough to do it for entertainment purposes.
at which dept exterior pressures supersedes the emergency blow pressure ???
I mean if you were to try to expel water 1000ft deep is there not a risk outside pressure being higher than the emergency blow pressure ?
Water pressure is ~670psi at 1500 feet (near Seawolf test depth). The high pressure air tanks contain several thousands of psi of compressed air.
@@mannys9130 traveling with 24 Nukes for months its not safe
@@niceboy60 huh?
@@mannys9130 the most recent Submarine I ve seen was built in 1980s would you trust Emergency blow pressures systems which were created almost 40 years ago? 🤔 🤔 🤔
@@niceboy60 The current SSN is the Virginia class. A new SSBN is being activated to replace the Ohio class. Our Los Angeles class subs have been rebuilt to flight 3. So there are wayyyyy newer subs than the 1980's flight 1 Los Angeles. The emergency blow system is critical and it's maintained very strictly. We have the Sub Safe program which was spawned by the Scorpion and Thresher accidents. Manufacture, maintenance, and repair are taken EXTREMELY seriously. I'm talking, you can trace the origin of a rubber o-ring seal back to the date and factory it was made. The Thresher accident highlighted just how absolutely critical the emergency blow system is. She sank because an unforeseen design flaw in the air valves caused ice buildup within them which blocked off all air flow and prevented the sub from surfacing. Thresher sank to crush depth and was lost with all hands. That mistake will never happen again.
So, I do think one can trust the emergency blow function of an active duty US sub. In peacetime, all there is to do is maintain, upgrade, and test the fleet.
It is probably really weird to drive a vehicle and not have any indicator of where you are going...
Obviously you can't have a windscreen like you would on any other vehicle, but you'd think the "driver", or helmsman would have a sonar image, a map, or something... Nope, all of that info is for the captain and the navigator. Whatever the captain tells you, you do... you are basically driving blind.
That's more true than you think. if your Commander misplots the course or uncharted mountains pop up, bad things can happen. About a decade ago, a U.S. sub ended up crashing into a underwater mountain. They were able to get the ship to the surface and towed away, but it was extremely close to not making it to the surface.
Looks like a simulator
Note the now-abandoned "blueberry uniforms." I could never make sense of them. If I'm in the infantry, I want to wear cameo. If my position is overrun, I want to be able to hide and evade capture. But if I'm in the Navy and my ship or sub sinks, I want to be seen. Being a POW beats drowning. And I do drown, I want my body to be found.
450? Good to know it’s a trainer. We wouldn’t want any classified depth information to show up on social media, eh?
LOL
They go deep
I'm wondering out of curiosity what if they were aboard a 1941 submarine how would the operated what I mean is what if they got stuck for example as a teaching learning experience how they learn how to operate a 1941 submarine you seen the TV show Survivor I would like to see them go aboard a 1941 submarine and would live aboard the submarine for 6 months
Little fun!Are this guys who,surfaced submarine so fast,when,Submarine Feb.2022, entering the Russian national borders waters noticed Russian Frigate 4km into the line. lol.
Maybe sea currency was to strong,or they have to miss,Japaneese Island smaller than the sub. Peace!
Put all submarine creue on alert from Kanyakumari vishaka patnanm east of goa mumbai andman nikio bar one one towrds morishes and one near small iland nearby dont tell me tomorrow we havent send you alret message
Those pesky terribles!
If Smith knew... Boyer boy!
Nice simulator
Now if those switches overloaded, would they now be considered Kentucky Fried Chicken?
they're mechanical
Staged. One sailor jumped the gun. Had his hand on the chicken switch before the order to blow was given. You would never do that, never! Accidently blowing in a combat situation where you have frigates or even destroyers actively looking for you is death. Its the same concept as a gun, finger never touches the trigger except to pull it.
edit- Before i get slack, i realize engine room flooding is an extremely disastrously situation and the order to blow is most likely to be given anyways. My observation was just that, an observation and I am by no means a submariner.
Also it's a simulator, it's clearly staged, that's the whole point of a simulator.
Dull
What a stupid crew, he performed the emergency blow before getting the order.
Weeeeeeee!
Simulator....do the real thing. I did.
Got to be fake, no one was even tilted or holding on from a 45 degree surface. FAKE
Crappy camera work.
I was waiting to see just how a Boomer crew could do an EB and surface a Trainer……🤔🙄
Disappointing
I've been for a World War II submarine those are real submarines the u.s. Navy submarine probably would not know how to operate a World War II submarine from 1941
Seems more a simulator than actual sub....thumbs down.
It is a simulator
Nothing gets past you.
Ahhh, your a flat earther, figures.
USS Kentucky Fried Chicken
I would hate to be in one of those Submarines duo to way to Much Borocracy even on Emergencies
.
Let's say one of this Submarines Sank
Do you honestly Expect the Industrial Military Complex to ask for Help to Save your life 🤔 if the Closest Recovery Vehicle is 16 hours away 🤔😳
.
"Sorry our Submarine run in to some problems when we were spying on your International Waters could you send us a nearby recovery vehicle 🤔 🤦"
There’s a woman at the gas station that for $5 will give you an “emergency blow” but I don’t think she has any experience onboard a sub or surface vessel
Emergency blow is what my gf does to make up with me after she does something upsetting
