Nuclear weapons are why US Navy ships don't make port calls in New Zealand. Your government forbids any vessel carrying nukes from entering the country, and, the US Navy's official position is to "neither confirm, nor, deny" the presence of nuclear weapons on board surface vessels.
Believe me, the Russians have to give their crews perks, because, the safety record of Russian boats is so profoundly bad. Their reactor shielding is a joke, and, they've lost 11 nuclear boats to accidents, that we know of. Russia has never been particularly forthcoming about their failures...

Yes, ond theirs Typhoons boomers they even did haved a builded in swimming pool for crews and to sauna room and a excersise room withed weight lifting stuff. Very it is easy to looked uped it and see pictures ....becaused all did they do is go hide unders the ice for months even but their stuff was so fulled of noise making always there was a hunter killer just sitting and watching them.
52 US submarines were lost to either enemy action, friendly fire or accidents in both theaters during World War 2. Most times the crews didn't survive or few survivors were found as a result of a sub sinking. This was the case for the USS Albacore (SS-218) which is believed to have struck a Japanese mine and sunk with all hands in 1944.
My nephew is on a Royal Navy ballistic nuclear submarine as I write this. He is due back in about a month after a very long stint. No one, including him, knows where the submarine has been (apart from some of the officers). His parents can send two very short messages a week, but he cannot reply.
You do not get assigned to submarines. The submarine service is 100% volunteer
I spent 8 years in the US Navy on submarines. A really good book to read is "Blind Man's Bluff". It talks about all of the games between US and Soviet subs from the late 1950's until the 1990's.
As for crashes, you'll find the book I mentioned talks about 21 collisions in 18 years between US and Soviet subs.
There's an old video from the late 80's, it's a good one on submarines that's much better than this video. It really shows what life is like on a sub. The youtube title "Voted The Most Realistic American Submarine Movie". That title comes from sub vets making that statement.

Best submarine books ever.
Thank you for sharing the video link. I have been looking for Submarine for a decade now, since my vhs copy was eaten. I knew some of these men. My boat was in the yards on a DMP and some of our crew joined this boat for this deployment.
Hey shipmate. I was 626 and 644 both gold crews. These vids barely scratch the surface. I was late 80s into 90s. We had 110 day patrol cycles.. 100 days submerged.
@@timavery99 The longest I was under was 54 days, this was on the USS Memphis and during the time Russia invaded Afghanistan.
Ah yes - the antics of the USS Parche & co.
There is a guy who did a series on submarines. His videos are under the title of "smarter every day.". One was on how they supply the subs with oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. It was extremely interesting. I highly recommend it.
Absolutely love the Wendover Productions channel. Watch some of his aviation related content!
My oldest brother was on the USS John Marshal almost until it was decommissioned.
Who was he I was on the John marshal untill decom
U need to check out the US Coast Guard and.some of the things they do in high seas rescue

Since there are usually 3 crews working on a sub, they only have enough bunks to sleep 1/3 of the crew at a time. This is called "hot bunking" because the bunks never completely cool off since a sailor is always sleeping in one for 8 hours. Then the next shift for 8 hours, then the last shift for 8 hours. The water in a nuclear sub is very pure because it is desalinated from sea water and the air is high in oxygen and filtered pure since it is made onboard, too. Most sub tours , the sub stays submerged for up to 6 months.
I was on fast attack subs for 12 years (During the 80s and 90s). We worked 6 hrs on, 12 off. So you could eat every 6 hrs if you wanted. If you had to hot rack/hot bunk it was usually 3 people sharing 2 racks. Your clothes are stored in a space under the mattress, so you need to split your supplies between the two racks.
We did not have a repeating schedule, like the missile subs. We would go out randomly for a week, 2 weeks, but it was constant in and out. I think the longest I was out was about 2 months.
Depends lol if you are a senior e5 hotracking with two nubs, you basically have your own rack.
The way we did it was two of the guys had their own racks, and the third dude was a floater. (Meaning when you get off watch, you wake him up, and send him to the other rack). I am an aganger, so the floater usually knew better than to not go to the other rack.
I volunteered for sub duty when I joined the Navy back in 98. I served aboard USS Alaska Blue SSBN 732 as a nuclear trained electrician. To be honest, it really wasn't all that bad under there. When we were not at periscope depth it was just like being in a building with no windows. One patrol I decided to qualify scope operator so I could look out the periscopes whenever I wanted. It's nice to see the light of day or as was usually the case at periscope depth, moonlight at night. Our down time it can be pretty boring so most of us would bring our own entertainment; usually books and laptops though we did have a computer room and a lounge to watch movies or play cards. When I was in, we worked 18 hour days; 6 on watch, 6 off watch (being an electrician this was usually spent fixing something), and 6 hours for sleep. Though it may have changed since I was in. After all, they finally let women serve aboard subs now.
I saw a story a while back. The guy says his parents were French and had decided to take a sailing trip down to Africa and then across the south Atlantic to South America. Now, they were experienced sailors, but didn't quite have ALL of the paperwork and equipment to make the trip 100% safe and legal, but they were close enough. A few days into their trip, as they traveled down the African coast, they noticed that they kept hearing waves breaking at night, which they shouldn't out on the open ocean. Every time they looked though there was nothing there. At one point one of them looked overboard at night and thought they saw a huge black shadow under the boat, far bigger than it, but it disappeared almost right away. They chalked it up to nerves and dolphins or fish making the noise.
Then one day, with no warning, an American submarine surfaced right next to them, cruised next to them for ten minutes or so, then sank back underwater and they never saw it again. In the comments someone said they probably saw the boat and tried to haul them to identify, but because the couple didn't have the right radio equipment they of course couldn't get the message, and when they didn't respond the sub decided to follow them and see what was up. Eventually they got curious enough to surface and when they just saw a couple of sunburned and bewildered French tourists staring at them they had a good chuckle and went back to whatever they were supposed to be doing.
I doubt this very much. Even in peacetime, a submarine doesn't just arbitrarily surface (especially not during daylight hours) and betray its position.
@@brucelamberton8819 Like I said, it's just a story I heard, so believe it or not. I did tell it to my uncle who served on a sub during his time in the Navy and he said it sounded about right. I also don't know how long ago this supposedly happened and operating procedure might have changed since then.
One correction needs to be made, the three shifts are 6 hours long allowing for all of the watch sections to have on coming shifts were they are expected to be sleeping during the days non drilling periods through out the week. The 8 hour shifts presented in the video would have the same watch sections either on watch during drills, off going during drills, or on coming during drills. Those that would be on coming for all of the drill periods would be getting near zero sleep for the entirety of an underway or patrol depending on which class of sub they serve aboard. For the Ohio Class submarine, this means 77 days of getting woken up every day during your sleep time by various alarms all of a sudden and practicing saving the ship for many hours. Those watch sections that are off going or on watch would respond to the different drills the same way every drill period and the crew as a whole would loss valuable training opportunities. If a casualty happens during a non drill period, the crew is not going to respond as effectively because every one would have only practiced responding to the casualty as members of one of the three watch states(on watch, off going, or on coming). For example, if you are the helmsman of the ship and your watch section is always on watch for the fire drills, you will not be as familiar with your off going or on coming fire fighting procedures reducing your casualty response times and giving opportunity for mistakes that could cost the lives of your entire crew.
There are a number of videos of Submarine museum tours. Lots of WWII subs. Even a German U-boat in Chicago. A definite cramped way of life.
Thanks for watching this video, to learn about the modern submarine. As a Cold War era submariner, it’s good to see people’s reactions to the complexity of these powerful vessels.
The “Silent Service” is interesting, but demanding job, so a shoot out to all of the active “bubbleheads” patrolling the deep!!
A few of the Ohio class ICBM submarines were reconfigured to carry 150 cruise missiles instead of nuclear missiles and some of the launch tubes were modified to carry Advanced SEAL Delivery Systems that allowed them to deploy over 100 special operations troops.
Sometimes the delivery involves getting shot out of a torpedo tube with all your equipment.
Almost all of our new attack subs are configured to transport and deploy navy seals.
ASDS was decommed in 2009. They have DDS with SDV's and its not even close to 100. Can't fit that many in a delivery vehicle, and we only carry one at a time.
There is an interesting TV series from the 1950's called Silent Service about American submarines in WW2. If you can find the episodes on UA-cam you may find it interesting.
It was a French and UK sub that collided, according to the video. Not a French and US sub.
Even their subs cant get along.
@@hifijohn well given their history I'm surprised there isn't more conflict between them
Kevin CinnamonToast 11:32 video said British vs French
Bubbleheads are a very unique breed of sailor.
Cool to see someone reacting to this. I'm a woman who was in the US Navy and used to repair nuclear subs. They are fascinating pieces of technology
Crew members on US submarines are all volunteers. I believe that they each have extensive psychological testing before deployment to help ensure that they will be able to handle the unique stresses on living and working on a submarine for an extended period of time.
I worked with a guy that was a former sub-mariner. He may not have been nuts when he went in but he was certainly nuts when he got out.
@@jeffyoungblood4978 The trick is to be a certain level of nuts. The sane people are the ones that go crazy.
We didn't have to go through a bunch of phych evals but we had to volunteer "formally" in a few different ways with the understanding that it's pretty tough, at least that was my experience when I volunteered in Nuke School. The life, by itself, is arduous and demanding but when you are new you have to deal with the added stresses of establishing a rapport with your shipmates, qualifying your "In-Rate" stuff, and going through Submarine Warfare qualifications...needless to say, it can all become quite heavy. All of this is done under the scrutiny of the senior crewmembers as well. The combined stresses of working 80+ hours a week when you are in port, working on qualifications, and deploying is usually enough to make people who aren't suited for life on a boat crack. In many ways, problems tend to correct themselves in that regard and people will get transferred to another platform that isn't a submarine. In rare cases, people do have significant mental breakdowns and get discharged medically but, in my 10 years working on subs, that was pretty rare, most of them just went to the surface fleet.
@@jeffyoungblood4978 one the guys I work with was a former nuke guy on a sub.
He said we are all nuts and if you want a surprisingly accurate sub movie, watch down periscope.
USS San Francisco ran into an underwater mountain that wasn't on her charts. 1 death and a whole lot of injuries. The damage was massive but she was able to surface and remain afloat as she went to Guam. Her whole bow was replaced with one from a sister submarine. She is now a training ship for Navy nuclear reactor engineers.
Then there's USS Scorpion and USS Thresher. 😔
One of the most impressive things I've seen over the years is modern amphibious landings. An Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) can take 2,000 Marines and put them on a beach anywhere in the world. I don't have any specific video to recommend, but between the hovercraft, helicopters, and close support fighters there's plenty of action.
Mid-Air collisions happen all the time. Near ports (hell some even out in the open) there are "lanes" or routes commonly used by other ships/planes (usually lanes are optimized to be the quickest and/or safest route to avoid bad water). In case of planes, collisions usually happen near airports and can be caused by not hearing or telling ATC whats going/what you're doing on; however, stealthy submarines have no clue (IMO they should remain surfaced near friendly ports but I don't know diddly about subs).
I liked your aircraft carrier video. As a sub sailor, I have been waiting to see your reactions to a submarine. thank you for posting, take care
I assume you’ve seen “The Hunt for Red October.”
seen it and read it. One of my favorite books
Incredible story, definitely worth anyone's time.
Crimson Tide is also a great submarine movie.
I love The Hunt for Red October.
Incredible movie mate
Hey Courtney if your interested in the weirdest military stuff check out the Philidephia Experiment where they made a ship disappear. The crew suffered all kinds of stuff like becoming part of a wall or later phazing out and disappearing and such. Or operation High Jump where 13 ships and 2000 men were lost in a battle with ufos.
Love your videos Courtney, and yes, I subscribed.
As repeter 1977 below mentioned, I too was on the USS John Marshall in the Pacific as an SSBN submarine back around 1979, Can not remember all the crew back then, but I was Gold Crew, maybe we were on the same boat.
Was also on USS Francis Scott Key in the Atlantic.
Then later went to NOTU, (Naval Ordinance Test Unit) at Cape Canaveral, Florida. At that time, I was on every Submarine in service at one time or another. Either for her sea trials after picking her up from the ship yards or performing a DASO, (Demonstration And Shakedown Operation), when we got to shoot actualmissiles and test the crew. Granted, we removed the warheads and replaced them with telemetry pods, (if we carried nuclear weapons, "I can not confirm nor deny we had nuclear weapons").
Out of 9 years in service I spent less than 3 years actually under water. But they were really cool.
Don't take this wrong Courtney, my first reason for clicking on your link was several / many years ago I watched this multi part video of this guy buying an old junk car and converting it to electric. That is when I knew that New Zealand(ers)?? were really cool. So if I win the lottery, you might have an American Accent in your neighborhood.
As far as I know, Submarine duty is all voluntary and they undergo training for stress and what do do in an emergency underwater.
not so much training,as it is stress em till they crack ,and if they dont they are good to go
At least in the U.S. Subsurface Duty IS entirely voluntary. You get "the offer" all the time, along with incentives and so forth about it. AND guys "volunteer out" fairly easily.
If you look at the medals on dress uniforms, you'll see a majority of Enlisted (for instance) with a single large plain metal ship and waves decoration right at the top over all his other medals... That's ESWS ("E-Swoss") OR Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist medal, adding a few points toward gaining rank once completed, and is basically the training required to cover ANY position onboard ANY surface warfare vessel with a minimal of "getting up to speed" or "pass down" from the last person there.
Sub Surface has a similar designation, and it does the same thing, and means all the same... only for SUB surface Warfare, and I believe it's made to resemble a sub' in all the turmoil of waves...
Frequently, on almost every ship in the Navy, you'll find personnel sporting BOTH of these medals where they wear medals (which isn't all the time)... They're often authorized, but not necessarily required, to print a copy in linework on their dungarees (working blues)... The reason it's not necessarily required (at least not in my day) was for "Ship's security", the decorations can lend the enemy a guide as to who to capture or torture for information first... SO we were often told NOT to wear collar devices and such, depending on where we were and what we were doing.
Stress testing... It's basically just that. There's SOME training, about things like breathing exercises, taking up hobbies, and healthy ways to express the stuff without getting into trouble, turning toxic, or becoming self destructive. MOSTLY, it's just pouring heat into the kitchen every time you show up to work... It comes in manageable doses, but continuously builds until they've weeded out the weakest...
...AND they WILL weed out the weakest by quota. That means, when the instructor says, "Only 20% of you will even make it through the course." He actually means, "We're only allowed to pass 20% of you through this course, and one way or another, the rest of you WILL quit."
In a sub-surface Emergency... There's often not much you can do. I forget which sub' they recovered the recordings from. Back in the day we had one go down. Equipment failures among other things, but it didn't just rupture and kill everyone. They only really recovered most of the audio, but you can hear them passing the gun around and everybody deciding whether to suffocate, or shoot themselves in hopes to buy time for their remaining shipmates... It was a hell of a thing to listen to.
Supposedly, there IS a protocol for emergency egress by way of the torpedo tubes in such an equipped submarine, too. That (at least) DID exist at one time. However, the routine depths of sub's in their services are such that you would be near instantly crushed to death if you were to try.
Hell... Even on a surface vessel we practice fire-fighting so often because it's THE big hazard onboard. AND where we have to go, you either put that fire out or you're friggin' fish-bait. There's no swimming home most of the time...
...AND I was on a "Gator Freighter". ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 From things I've watched subs have an escape trunk now.
The dolphins have to wear a kind of suit with that inflates to get them to the surface.
Bad news is it only works at shallow depths and if you hold your breath on the way up to the surface your lungs explode.
(Boyle's Law. Pressure affecting the volume of a gas.)
@@douglascampbell9809 Some or most sub's are so equipped. Hard to say (prob'ly a matter of National Security, so don't believe everything you see)...
Heard about phasing it into service in the 90's based (more or less) on Seal Team 6 ("Death from Below") and their record for exiting sub-surface.
AND yes, you'd need a buoyancy suit of some time, because at much depth at all, and you're compressed to a degree that your body is no longer displacing enough water to be buoyant on its own...
Lungs exploding... That's long been an issue with even scuba. In the old days, you couldn't be certified without going down to 100 feet, dropping your tanks and returning to the surface on your own... You do hold your breath, but not in the same "hard" manner as everyone's used to doing...
Instead of locking up your throat forcefully, you just maintain the "deep breath" condition in your chest... Already fighting off the "drowning reflex" instead of letting it or forcing it to happen makes it easier to let the air out as you go up...
For the beginner, they'll tell you something like "rise up about twenty or thirty feet, and then let out some air... repeat... and you can get to the surface with that technique, too... so long as you don't choke.
BUT the tests I've seen involved a marked rope or cable. It's a little bit different when you're in the open and "free diving" essentially. ;o)
I volunteered for the Diverfarer program in basic during basic in Great Lakes in 1985. . I was hoping to become a Harrdhat Diver , SEAL , or EOD. I was medically disqualified for diver duties and submarine service due to nasal passages issues . I went on to become an Operations Specialist on a DDG and a CG .
Isangrad: Most of the shore stations for me had four watches, working 2-2-2 and 36. This was two day shifts (0800 to 1600), two overnights (1600-0000) and two eves (0000-0800). In a 24-hour period, three watches would be “on” and one on their 36 hours off. At one point in time, when I was stationed on a shore base,, only three of the watch sections had a person with my specialty working in it. So because of some activity going on, no details to be given, they needed an analyst on duty 24 hours. The three of us were taken out of our watch sections and had our own watch section with the 3 of us working two shifts of 12 hours each. So it was 1-1 and 24. (0800-2000, 2000-0800 then 24 hours off). Time off for sleeping, eating, shopping necessities, laundry, etc., and maybe a catnap before starting over. Those were the days **sighing**. - CTT (Ret) BG
You were what I consider on the "front line" of what protected the U.S.. Than you for your service!
He didn't even use when USS Hartford collided with USS New Orleans in 2009. I was onboard New Orleans, and awake when we collided. I thought we had picked up speed, cause it's a similar effect. Only when I woke up the next morning did I find out what had happened. The sub had a cracked sail, and we had ruptured ballast tanks. That was our maiden deployment.
When I was a kid my dad took me a tiger cruise on the hmas Onslow Oberon class submarine it was amazing to see the crew work on submarines and you could do a reaction of hmas Collins submarine
Out of the Academy, my dad was a weapons officer on a missile sub, career sub captain on fast attack subs then sub squadron one commander in HI
I just found this channel. I don't know if you have seen them but since you like military and drill for drum lines you should look up the marine corps silent drill platoon
You should check the history of “submersible” the Turtle. Very primitive vehicle (think of a wooden barrel with a top attached). It had tricycle style pedals that turned the screw (nautical for propellor) and a drill. This was the days of wooden ships, so the drill would bore a hole in an enemy ship’s hull. And thus started the USA’s submarine service. Big as our ICBM subs are, while in our Navy, I was given TAD (Temporary Assigned Duty) once in one of these. No wasted space. My rack (bunk) was literally next to the silo of such a missile. Creepy feeling. - BG
Hey Courtney!
I swear I'm not trying to be one of those channels promoting their stuff on other peoples pages, but since your onto Submarines right now I thought you might wanna hear the Submarine perspective from a couple of Submariners. Would love for you to drop by. Keep up the good work!
Speaking about collisions the submarine USS San Francisco ran into an underwater mountain 15 years ago doing like 30 miles per hour. The whole front nose buckled but help pressure and they were able to steam home. Very impressive pictures of that.
My best friend serves on the USS Florida Ohio class submarine. One thing is since being in a sub everything is so close your eyes never see anything far so when sailors exit the sub they need a few minutes for their eyes to adjust and to use muscle they haven't used
One aspect that was missed in the video is that most subs don't have to surface to lauch their armaments. So out of the blue missles/torpedoes can just fly out of the ocean.
That food actually did look really good! Better than what I ate last night! You should check out the movie The Hunt For Red October...GREAT film about submarines starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin.
I had a relative who crewed on subs and he said they worked 6 hrs on 12 hrs off.
He was correct...no 8 hr shifts
I was an Operations Specialist on two smallboys . We stood Port and Starboard wattches , six on and six off around the clock 24/7at sea . Our patrols were shorter though .
I did a 65 day patrol standing port and starboard...was horrible
@@barrysmith6935 times have changed. We shifted to an 8 hour day about 8 years ago. Some study showed that the 18 hour days were one of the causes of submariners having a shorter life expectancy
I'm a retired submarine sailor. I really enjoyed your video. It's an interesting life, but you get used to it, eventually you don't really think about it. Keep up your videos, I enjoy them.
Thank you for your service!
@@captsprite6059 Thank you.
Would love to see you react to the USS Thresher. My great uncle was lost on the USS Thresher.
It was the best job I ever had!!
I don’t know about the best job, but definitely the best people. I haven’t worked with a more competent and professional group of people since those days. There are things that happened on ops that put the rest of my life in perspective. Anytime I think I’m dealing with something stressful, it doesn’t take long to remember what REAL stress with life and death consequences feels like, then I can laugh my way through whatever hardship I’m facing at that moment.
One more comment. There is a book called Thunder Below. This is about a World War II sub. It is one of the best books I have ever read. The captain of this sub did some very dangerous missions and pioneered things that are common today. It is well worth the read.
Watch the SR 71 blackbird next👍
You should check out the History of the battleship USS New Jersey. It was the most decorated Battleship in WW2 and fought in the Pacific. The Japanese called it the “Black Dragon” because it terrified them. Since the New Jersey was laid to rest in Camden, NJ, the government confirmed that they are making a Virginia class USS New Jersey submarine in the ships honor.
Not entirely true. She is the most decorated Battleship in history now, but not during World War Two. North Carolina achieved 15 battle stars during World War Two while New Jersey achieved 9 battle stars in World War Two and accumulated the rest of her 19 battle stars until she earned her last in the Persian Gulf before Operation Desert Storm
This really helped to give some understanding to the movie "Crimson Tide" (starring Denzel Washington) and what the problem was concerning the VLF antenna that got damaged by the attack from the other sub. That is a hell of a movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you will understand it more having watched this video.
The other comment I have is that nations with "Boombers' (nuclear subs) may be too confident in their capabilities to protect their home nations. A good example of this conundrum would be the movie "Down Periscope" (starring Kelsey Grammer). Yes, it IS a comedy, but the plot is based on the overconfidence that the Navy puts into relying on nuclear subs to protect the American continent against a "rogue nation" with a "diesel powered" submarine.
I hope you can find the time to watch either one of them, preferably both. :D
I have Periscope Down
@@paulmolloy7154 If someone needs to look it up, it is actually "Down Periscope." ;)
- entertaining movie? Yes. Accurate? Not so much. Communication blackout with contradictory orders has already been considered and planned for. That would not happen.
As far as the supremecy of nuclear subs. In blue water there is no sub more dangerous than US nuclear attack subs. In brown water, diesel subs are often more effective and more dangerous to a US taskforce than a nuclear sub threat.
@@martinsharrett1872 I got the distinct impression from the movie that communication blackout plans you referred to were the result of this incident (which was based on a true story). :/
Look up the U.S.S Pennsylvania: she is an Ohio class submarine and was only recently moved to seconed biggest U.S. sub when the U.S.S Texas came onto the scene. She has a video all her own that goes into wonderful detail as to how she works.
The Pennsylvania is nearly 200ft longer and over double the displacement of the Texas, which was commissioned in 2006 so not really recent.
Evscar/Eve Whelan
Here is the URL for that video about the USS Pennsylvania :
ua-cam.com/video/UxB11eAl-YE/v-deo.html
She made history in Halloween of 16 by being the first SSBN to port in Guam in 50 years I know this because I was on a ride for quals then it was a fun time I would say the closest Hollywood movie to depict lifestyles of submariners is periscope down
The Pennsylvania also holds the record for longest ssbn underway
Texas is a Virginia lol there is no way it has ever been the largest American submarine
Glad i was able to see an awesome video again
Used to work at a factory that made torpedos.
How was it
Joe Bïden dont you have some kids hair to smell
Seeing your comment right at the end of a long day really confused me until I saw the e not a.
Each one of those orange tubes the man was walking between are the missile tubes with the trident 2 missiles in side them.
My father served 3 years on the USS Casimir Pulaski in the mid 1970s. This was an insightful look into what it's like.
Look up USS Scorpion and USS Thresher
I did 8 patrols on the USS Von Steuben.. ssbn 632 Blue crew!!!
Old timers in the days of the Diesel Sub's would tape a bit of sash-cord across a space inside the sub before getting their new crew onboard... They'd be sticklers for whatever (usually made up) reason about their cord staying RIGHT where they put it. As the sub' ran deep, the compression of the sea would literally squash it down, and watching the cord suddenly start to sag lower and lower and lower could make new recruits get a little crazy. It's pretty amazing how much abuse those things took... and continued running.
Now, with the big advancements in hull technology, and much larger sub's, I'd imagine that sort of thing is a relic of the past... Even if the hull still goes through distortion, it's probably not so detectable from any particular spaces inside. ;o)
Why make up a reason for the cord, it's a depth indicator :)
@@mfree80286 I think "Old Salts" just get kicks out of telling tales just to screw with the noob's... It doesn't take a reason, just so long as nobody messes with "the important cord"... and when it starts to sag, the noob's will ask "Why?"... AND the answer is terrifying the first time you see it at work. ;o)
My Dad was on was sub (Coast Guard) at the N. Pole and on their leave time they would hunt polar bears and give them to the locals.
What the sailors on subs call sharing a bed , or rack in the Navy, is "Hot Bunking". I am a U.S. Navy Veteran and was never on or near a sub but knew a few of what sailors on the water or on land as "Tin Can Sailors", I was a member of the "Gator Navy" as I was with a Amphibious unit while I was in the Navy.
Better known as targets. "In the US Navy there is only two types of ships, Subs and Targets."
I remember being order not to wear those T-shirts because it upset some surface sailors.
One time I hauled a waLk in freezer that was to be installed in a submarine from Missouri to Indiana. It was the only oversized load I ever hauled.
I been on the hmas ovens submarine class Onslow 1984 when my dad was a sargeant in Australian army reserves special forces
Just to let you know, despite what you might have heard from Australia: Submarines can operate under water for longer than 20 minutes.
Oh I love that video!
So much cringe watching that video
You mentioned the likelihood of being a little freaked out about being underwater for that long after reviewing the Aircraft Carrier. You have to remember that of the 6,000 people on a carrier , only about 1000 get to see daylight every day. LOL. It's kind of funny to say this, but Sub's can take pleasure in the fact that they at least have a smoother ride. LOL! LOVE YOU!
As a U.S. Marine of 20 years service, I spent some small amount of time aboard a WW-2 era diesel/electric sub during Amphibious Raider Training in Okinawa. I didn't care for it.

Thank you for your service, Mr. Boyte. I served aboard 3 US Navy surface vessels during the Viet Nam era and was aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise CVA(N)--as she was designated then-- when she nearly burned down, just before we went to Viet Nam.
One of our Ohio class subs with a full load of nukes is the single most world ending weapon ever built
There is a submarine base just north of Jacksonville FL and submarine hunter Navy planes are based in Jacksonville FL.
I served for 20 years and I never served on a sub. I just couldn't imagine living and working on a boat that "sank for a living." However I have heard and read many things about the "crush depth" and that was more than enough to keep me away from these things....
CC,EVER SINCE I SAW THE GERMAN MOVIE "DAS BOOT" SUBS HAVE SPOOKED ME BUT I FIND THESE VIDEOS FASCINATING...KEEP UM COMIN' COURT...ALL MY BEST,KENT IN OHIO.
The sub they used in Das Boot was the captured German sub on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois. If you're ever there take the guided tour, it's a great tour.
The USS San Francisco didn't have updated sea floor maps and actually crashed into an underwater mountains. Luckily with they crew's training they were able to save the sub. Unfortunately one person did pass away.
The U.S. lost 2 nuclear submarines in the 1960’s. The Thresher had a pipe burst in the engineering space in 1963, and the Scorpion was lost in 1968. The cause of that incident is still classified, but the rumor is that a torpedo explosion sank the boat.
It was British and French submarines that collided. To check out and American submarine collision google USS San Francisco. You'll be amazed at the damage done to it. I think a couple of sailors were killed in the incident but the "bumping" into things happens more than one thinks.
In world war 2, the deadliest branch of the militaries was the submarine service. The Germans took the most casulaties once the Allies learned to track the German submarines and learned to use their depth charges more accurately. If you ever get to Chicago, Illinois with your boyfriend/husband have him take you on a tour of the captured German Submarine on display at the Museum of Science and Industry. They will give you a guided tour of a real captured German submarine and it is a very worthwhile tour. It was used in the Movie Das Boot(German for The Boat) a true story about a German submarine in World War 2. One of the interesting facts from the tour. They only had one bathroom in a German submarine and it was only big enough to sit in. You could not reach your arms around without getting off the toilet seat. All the men in the sub had to share this one bathroom. However, this bathroom could not be flushed when the sub was under water. They were afraid that some enemy would spot the ejected feces and detect the sub. Each man had to collect a coffee can or some container to hold all their bathroom outputs until the sub surfaced and then they could dump out their holding cans.
When are you planning to move to the States? I’m new subscriber love your channel! Keep up your great work I love watching now. I’m US Army Vet and think it’s great that people from other countries care about us more than a lot of our countrymen. Just something to think of watching your video on subs what you get to see is only a very small part of their mission it’s scary what all these vehicles do and you really don’t want to know!
Not so much about fast attack type submarines. That’s because the best stories or even hints about them have some classifications above top secret of which even the names of the classifications are classified.
Submariner from 87-93. USS Pargo SSN 650. It was a 637 class fast attack boat. I was a SONAR tech. I suppose you have to be a little off to be a bubble head. Proud to have worn the dolphins for five years. One great benefit to Subs is it is highly unlikely you will be stationed in some crappy area of the world. Only a few sub bases.
Gotta add the Blue and Gold crew setup is only for the missile boats. Fast attack submarines have any variation of times out. Could be a week or six weeks.
My cousin Bob was sent out to find a couple of lost US nuclear subs using the ROV (remote operated vehicle) he had access to in exchange for funding the search he really wanted to do.
No way to rescue any crew members, they had sunk 18 and 22 years earlier (one had an electrical failure during a deep dive test, the other exploded due to a torpedo onboard malfunctioning and setting off.) The Navy and the CIA wanted to know the exact positions of the wrecks and their conditions, especially with the nuclear reactors having been underwater so long.
He and his team found and surveyed both, and the gov't gave him the funding to search for the Titanic.
I Swear I caught one while fishing the Strait of Juan De Fuca here in Washington. My line was screaming of the reel in an area with no large fish and had to cut the line. This is the only way in or out for our sub base here.
It's very possible. I've had to cut fishing line off the fairplanes more than once.
You gotta react to the F-22 Raptor
Fun Fact: Sonar was inspired by dolphins who use it to see just like a submarine.
Lol
Bats use SONAR too. When I was a kid, I used to toss pebbles in the air to see the bats dive after them. Poor bats never expected flying rocks.
My dad used to build nuclear subs. Well, He started as an electrician then worked his way into the nuclear aspect. In hindsight, I can see why he came home grumpy. Everything has to be perfect. One screw up and heads rolled. My dad's favorite expression was "Hey, shit rolls downhill." He had to make sure that things were perfect and didn't mind if he wasn't loved by the crew. I can't tell ya how many people would hear my last name and say "do you know Bob?" "Yeah, that's my dad." "Damn", they'd say, that guy was a dickhead". Yup. he was. but only to people who tried to cut corners. I'm proud of the work my dad did. He's still a bit of a dickhead when he wants to be but I love my dad more than I'm able to put into words. Thanks for this.
Hello Miss Courtney ! I love your videos and I'm a US Navy veteran . While you're on the topic , could you please react to the US Navy SWCC ( Special Warfare Combatant Crew ) boat teams ? SWCC are the boat crewmen that operate Special Operations small craft in support of SEAL Teams and other SPECOPS in maritime environments. Cheers , Mate !
When I was in the Navy, I worked with a guy on flight simulators. He had just transferred from a nuclear submarine and decided that he was tired of subs so he transferred to flight simulators (no sea duty working on flight simulators). He told me that it was not uncommon for the submariners to sometimes be hidden under the water for as long as 6 months. I asked him what was the first thing he noticed when the sub crew came to shore after a long undersea session. He said the air. He said that the air produced and purified by the sub was much better air than the typical air in a city.
This video was so amazing
The subs have an emergency basis system that if they need to will luanch them to the surface insanely fast.there are real cool videos of this
That is not true.,I spent 20 years on US Navy submarines and we all knew there was no coming home
@@davidschempp3684 so you never saw or took part in an emergency blow test.also on more than one occasion people have been recovered alive from sunken subs and ships it depends on the depth
Maybe other country,s assign sailors to subs, but in the US ( and probably Britain, France and Israel) they are volunteers. They have to know what kind of service they are getting into, they probably would like them to have above average machincal aptitude and a more introverted temperament that could better handle the lack of outside contact.
No country will release the actual maximum depth of their sub fleet
@Courtney Coulston
I know you do videos on Medal of Honor recipients. Here another one you might like to see:
ua-cam.com/video/1DrVK3PQZgg/v-deo.html
This is about MSG Leroy Petry who lost his hand and was shot when he picked up a thrown hand grenade and tried to toss it around a corner to save other wounded men and medics. The story is told by the men who were there.
What the video left out is the fact that the US is the leader in Sub technology. Meaning that when a US sub wants to 'disappear' underwater, it has been compared to a "hole in the water". A situation where you simply can not detect anything at all, not even ambient noise due to the sound reduction ability. Making it not only difficult to detect in general, but so difficult that even sea-animals have been documented of not being aware of the Submarines presence. Making it even HARDER for man-made objects detecting it because the sea-life itself is actually easier to detect than the submarine is. The only drawback to this ability is that you become a sitting duck, and anyone that notices the 'odd' features of that area pretty much knows exactly where you are and can easily destroy you by calling in support or reporting your location and focusing everyone's attention on that area to keep it contained.
But the shocking thing is, the fact that US subs can indeed become so 'silent' underwater that sea animals register it as a 'natural area' is amazing.
To be fair it was a british and french sub they share the english channel and that is a relatively small area of ocean competitively.
Courtney you should react to Men's 4x100 freestyle medley, 2008 Olympics. Its pretty much the best performance of the US swim team.
read a book called Blind Man's Bluff, about spy submarines in the Cold War.
Hi there how are you? I recommend Texas High School marching bands such as Vandergrift, Claudia Taylor Johnson, Leander, Ronald Reagan, and and Allen Texas! Have a great day and keep it up!
Sailors on submarines are referred to as bubble heads.
Or squids
Gerald Olson That’s generic for any sailor. Lots of ‘em: white-hat, swabbie, deck apes, snipes, nukes, airdale...
You forgot to add "Proudly" referred to. It was originally meant as a gentle dig from our skimmer brothers and sisters that we have co-opted and made our own. Of course we do remind them that there are only two types of ships in the Navy. Submarines and targets.. 😂
@@donovanparker7476 I was also on a target. The uninformed are no longer ignorant.
You don't get sun but you can set in front of uv lights to help you with your vitamin D intake witch you usely get from sun light
Hi Courtney, you are flat gorgeous , and seem to have great outlook, perception, & and personality my friend
You may be interested in the documentary about the sinking of the Soviet submarine, Kursk.
You must watch the excellent submarine moviesThe Hunt For Red October, Destination Tokyo, Das Boot, Operation Pacific, and Operation Petticoat.
Hi Courtney,
I am a former American soldier. Did fifteen years in the US Army. If you get to Invercargill, I would love to talk to you about anything military.
I was on a submarine back in the 80's, believe it or not it wasn't that bad
Just so you know ... you aren't assigned to submarine duty, you volunteer for it, and then go through a series of tests to determine if you can handle it; and you then go through special training, more than typical sailors. Submariners are very proud of that; in a way you could say that they are 'semi-special-forces' ... except the extra training isn't personal-combat oriented. (Also, because of the conditions they serve under, and the extra training, their pay is higher than others.)
There are two kinds of ships. Submarines and targets.
if you are fascinated by submarines like i am, check out the largest submarines in the world, Russia Typhoon class subs, its got an indoor pool in it....oh, and also check out the first use of a warfare submarine, was used by the Americans during the American Revolution
