- Secretly patrolling the world's seas. And keeping an eye on ships and other submarines.
As a submariner you will be living and working in an extraordinary, covert environment. Where you'll be part of a close-knit community where lives literally depend on your ability to work as part of a team, safely and with great attention to detail.

The Brotherhood of Submariners. Hello from the US Navy, MM1/SS, Retired here.
Was on the USS Chicago SSN 721 and the USS Honolulu SSN 718. Remember the day I got my dolphins well. We were on maneuvering watch pulling in to Thailand. American or British, we few submariners are a special breed! Hooyah shipmates!
God bless UK and god bless her mighty Royal Navy ❤🇬🇧
Nothing would possess me to go under the sea,on it,yes by all means,but not under. Great respect for those who do.
😂
Agree
This is the closest thing I have to an unfulfilled ambition. I tried to join as an officer out of uni but didn’t make the cut (I think I would now I’m older and more experienced) and I was too proud after that failure to join as a rating. Twenty years later I wish I’d had the self-confidence to brush that off and gone in at the bottom, esp now I’ve seen another friend of mine pass out at Dartmouth after doing 15 years as a rating first. Oh well. All of life is a story of regrets.
Just turned 30 starting the process now. Can’t wait
@@backoffnowg Hows it going? considering it myself
My eyesight is sadly too bad.
Applied for marine engineering in the submarine fleet and am going off to raleigh in a few months. Cannot wait
How did it go?
How’s it going?
I know it’s probably too late to say this but good luck mate, I’m thinking of going into the RN sub service after uni
Kit musters out the top window 😅🤣.
Im almost there my entry date is on the 24th november for ETWE submarines
Callum Frogley I saw your vids...... you made it, you made it son
I loved my years wearing the dolphins, best cammadre in the Navy !!
I'm half way through the navy process for CIS surface fleet, but considering a change to sub service. What was it like and would you recommend it over surface fleet?
At least when you have served your service you can officially say you've served and fought for this country. I'm joining up as a marine engineer doing all the things with generators keeping the water clean. Every little helps really without the marine engineers you wouldn't be drinking for a while
JCgethyper did you join mate
Update?
Served on Revenge stbd crew, Splendid, and Trafalgar. rusty B was the only skimmer I was on ....joined 1973. I'm now 64. Throw snake eyes I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
best days of my life
Can't wait for this. Really want to start on a sub as a killik engineer.
The guys in the submarine service are that elite they dont even breath the same air as anyone else. And that's a fact.🐬
@HengistUndHorsa recycled farts and spunk bubbles
Submarines are more complexed than Space Shuttles
we know about space more than the depths of our oceans
*Krautik* That was the best comment I've seen on youtube in along time! Thanks
that's as maybe,but from what I've seen the views out of the windows are amazing
And the men that run them are less advanced than chimps
@@Clickshanks have you ever served on one? I think you'll find it takes a certain state of mind.
Living next to the training range for British and other NATO underwater weapons means I grew up watching submarines cruising past my home and tying up on the pier 30 seconds from my house. I never gave it a thought about how amazing they were until I was a teen and went to work at BUTEC in Kyle of Lochalsh….my home. As a female born in the late 70s, I wouldn’t have been allowed to serve on one and as it was, Wrens were only just being allowed to go to sea when I considered joining the RN. My job meant that even as a shy 17 year old I was lucky enough to get to go for jollies on minesweepers, (Sandown Class were here for showing off to the Saudi navy), Seaking helicopters and plenty of RMAS vessels. I never got the chance to go to sea for a day on a sub though and I understand why etc, but I wish I could’ve. I felt terrible for the poor crew of HMS Astute when it grounded at Kyleakin. I was driving into Kyle that morning and thought I was tripping balls……but plenty of other vessels have ended up caught on hidden sandbars round here and it’s got some terribly fast racing currents, so it’s easy done I guess. The amount of people who came up from down south with tv cameras and made such a fuss made me feel terrible for the crew.
Only 2 types of boats, submarines and targets.
Zzzzzz
only 2 types of boats? you obviously don't know much about the sea, A Warship is a ship a Submarine is classed as a boat, and a boat can be put onto a ship so in your logic your target is either other submarines or fishing boats.... :)
@@davidedwards1988 literally shut up
@@davidedwards1988you’re a bunch of fun
themostintelligent1 That stems from simple numbers. The Royal Navy will soon only have seven subs, all of the Astute class. Superb boats, truly next-generation, with the captains and crews to handle them well. Only seven boats though. They *have* to do the business *every time*. That's why the Captain and crew are recruited and trained to the exacting standards that they are. There was a good documentary on British TV about 4 years ago, showing part of the Perisher course, and a USN Officer was taking part, alongside four RN Officers. The American passed, in the end, one of the British didn't, and was sent packing. The Perisher is a very, very harsh school.
Imagine one of those surfacing unexpectedly near your trawler. Inspection time!
When i grow up I want to be a engjneer officer on a submarine
I'll be honest, if I had my time again, I'd go that route too. However, as a lad, I had my head too far up my own backside to realise it was an option, so I say go for it. We had a next-door neighbour when I was growing up, he was a CPO on Boats, always spoke highly of the life. Only downside being that if you are married or have other strong commitments onshore, it can be a real strain. Many Submariners end up getting divorced. For a young person with no real ties though? A great start to a career. Decent money, and not much chance to spend it while you're at sea.
Same who wouldn’t.
How did that go for you?
@@pogdog8689 ^^^ this
What are you doing now?
Now this is how a recruitment ad should look like! They don't make them how they used to...
I should have been a part of one these teams
I thought this was a Short, Sharp well made promotional video. Just curious if it had the result of attracting more candidates to want to become submariners. Also, I always see the crew as a very harmonious bunch, which is great. What though of those who, once out at sea turn out to be 'not quite the right fit'. What happens to them?
Well, the threat of a good old fashioned 'keel-hauling' when dived a few hundred meters soon gets them to toe the line.
To fulfill your curiosity, I've been thinking about joining with my boyfriend if he drops out of uni, being a submariner seems pretty appealing to me and I've been watching videos about it non stop for the last while but I need to think on it a lot more before I make any big moves. I am 18 currently so if I am going to join now is the prime time haha
@@kevg3320 I needed to Google Keel Hauling'. I might have to try that on some kids I know.
@kerrpoww Did you make it? I'm applying to be AET but now I'm thinking MESM is a better path.
Deep down , you know it makes sense. 🏴☠️⚓️
0:56 Is that Ben Duran (I think that's his name), from Warship, Life At Sea?
thank you very much
Go get um lads 🇬🇧
Looks cool
0:06 Those are my hands!
Thanks 😁
You need to clean your fingernails lad
😆 Why I didn’t get any further work as a hand model…
With hindsight I would have gone is as Engineer (Not weapons) rather than Warfare, and left with better employment prospects on Civvy street. There's not much demand for counting bog roll, and scrubbing out Civvy side. :-)
Why not weapons?
If you were unlucky enough to be a strategic weapons engineer your tied to ballistic subs you whole career. Tactical weapons can do both but the choice usually comes down to what the RN requires, not your preference.
Mechanical engineers would also leave with plenty of experience for Civvy street.
***** fair enough
See I want to be a medical assistant partly because I don't want to go to uni and partly because I will be a qualified emergency medical technician after the training as eventually I want to become a paramedic . And so naturally the navy was the best option with very good pay for an early 20 year old and experience like no where else, and of course you get to travel the world but I don't know whether to become a submariner or be on the surface fleet
did you ever decide between submariner and surface fleet? (I'm in the same situation)
surface fleet
Yo graig long time no see buddy. Bobby ball
From v boats
Well lads, let's muster and chow... ;)
Gust wonderful
Great
badass
Non payment, enjoy your last few days with your submarines
Bhai Kya jiskai eye me defect hai WOH jaa sakta hai Ya Nahi
HM Submarine service ❤
Very much
i wish it was me!
Thanks alot for the Upholder crap subs you sold to us in Canada.
Sold as seen,
Buyer beware
Blah blah blah
We did ask "Do you want the Haynes Manual?" but oh no. You knew better!! 🤠
@@kevg3320 I made my original comment 7 years ago. Wow!
@@Admiral8Q I actually trained (briefly) in the Manoeuvering Room simulator back in the early 90's. I was doing an advanced diesel engine (Ad/ICE (S/m)) course at the time.
@@kevg3320 Nice!
I unfortunately got stuck in 'communications' in the Army. heh! I wanted to be in the Navy, submarines was my choice. ;)
Honestly is wouldn't go to sea in one of those for a 1000 pounds a day.
Had an oppo on P&O boats who constantly stank of diesel. 😂. Skimmer for all of my 24 years
Sun dodgers
Had some good times (S-Boat Sonar Maintainer), but I wouldn't want to do it again. This video mentions nothing about the smell of BO and sweaty feet in a 30 man bunk space! Not to mention the sounds of people fapping away in their bunks. Good luck to all future submariners.
I think the Astutes have a bit better bunk accommodation than that, no hot-bunking for one thing. On the downside, the lads nowadays can have videos of their girlfriends/missus/just ordinary porno on a little phone or other media player, so maybe the "thrashing curtains" are even more noticeable these days!
***** The worst was when the sewage hull valve wasn't opened properly, it would blow the flexible coupling of the back of the sewage pump. The first time I set foot on an S Boat this had happened, and it stank of raw sewage. I thought it was the normal smell for a boat!
Friend of mine fucked you up in a computer game, Elite Dangerous, and you went ballistic. lolz
@@ghostdog4330 Wow, this is really funny. I haven't played that game for a long time, not since it was in early Alpha, back when there was only a small number of places you could visit (making PvP easier etc).
The fact that you would say this on a comment I wrote 7 years ago (about submarines of all things!), regarding a game that I was playing 7 years ago, is really hilarious.
Also, how exactly did I go ballistic? The game back then didn't have any text or voice chat. There was no possible means you could use, to communicate with other players back then.
Who was your friend? Was it really just you? Did I mock you on the forums for loving gimbal/auto-aim weapons, and you haven't gotten over it (after 7 years LOL!).
Honestly mate, thanks for this, I couldn't have asked for a better laugh today!
LOL, ask how little they get paid!
Not as bad as you think mate, an engineering technician gets paid £23000 a year at the start, not much but they also get paid £1200 for each month their on patrol on top of the £23000, which incidentally can increase to around £80000 a year as you progress. Combine that with the fact that your not paying for food, utilities mortgage (or rent) for around 25-50% of the year when your submerged, I’d say it’s actually pretty decent all things considered
EDIT:
I’ve run the numbers, accounting for tax and assuming that you get paid the minimum £23,000 per year with the 1200 extra per month on patrol with a patrol of 6 months you’d earn £30200 gross, factoring in tax you’d get a take home pay of £24558 per year, current average living costs in the UK accounting for average rent is £1519 per month (you only pay this for 6 months) this give a final amount of £15444 to play around with after tax and after living costs. That’s a hell of a lot, I know I’ve made some erroneous assumptions to make these calculations, mainly that the money is all there so to speak but I’d say it’s a pretty good estimate
nobody mention the emergency station bunkspace swordfighting why these animals need to sleep nude is beyond me

Ooooops..in the newspapers..the submarine service is full of people who bully women and have been labeled misogynist s...who would have thought !!!😂
Uckers suckers.
They forgot to mention the suck ass gun trots over the 24 hour duty period all the scrubbing out and all the off watch fun you get to do
I miss the job even 33years after leaving the silent service, but in my day only men served with men !!
Who is jimi Errington trying to convince that he works constantly??
