      I got to visit the USS Pennsylvania in Florida back in 1991. It was an SSBN and very, very large inside between the missile tubes. Lots of room to move around but I suspect the empty spaces would be filled with provisions prior to its six-month operational deployment.

    • @jakelivni9576
      @jakelivni9576 5 років тому +13

      I think that most/all nuclear weapons have to be detonated in a very specific way to reach fusion/fission. Blowing one to pieces shouldn't cause a nuclear explosion. In the past, American and Soviet subs and aircraft have suffered catastrophic events (explosions, crashes, sinking) and the nukes didnt blow up.

      @@adityakaushik941 it wont cause a nuclear explosion. There is a real chance the reactor spews out radiation on the sea floor as the reaction speeds up without control rods.. but that just makes lots of radiation, it wont go into a thermo nucelar state.. It really depends on the type of damage the sub receives. That said.. that is how older reactors work... newer ones in ships like this probably slow down the reaction once it hits sea water,....(we have no idea the reactor desgign.. definitely be alot of rads... but not a huge nuke like explosion like hiroshima.. etc.. just fissile material reacting with what ever it comes into contact with.. specifically oxygen...

      @@adityakaushik941 Yes, for a nuclear explosion you need the Uranium in the reactor to "fuse" like in a nuclear bomb to create a chain reaction... this is done with a precharge of TNT dedicated to slamming 2 uranium atoms together. With a nuclear sub this has begun allready and is controlled in the reactor, once the control rods are removed the reaction speeds up, but it is not runaway like a bomb. essentially the material is fissile and spews out radiation... again depending on the reactor design.
      Russia has many of these reactors rusting in ports in old subs as you can not turn off a nuclear reactor.

    Life aboard a submarine has clearly become much more complex since I was a submariner during the 1960s. Nevertheless, it is basically the same: be silent, be invisible, and be deadly. I owe much of what I have become to that experience and although folks sometimes thank me for my service I feel it more appropriate to thank the Navy for what it gave me. Having served on one of the last diesel-electric boats from WWII I know how brave those men were. Though they were advanced technology for their time those subs were vulnerable to a myriad of things that threatened disaster at every moment. The crews that manned them were an interlocked human-machine and a brotherhood that defied the sea and worked together to accomplish their mission. Admiral Rickover's first-generation fleet, upon which I also served, and made in defiance of the Navy Brass, was a world-changing concept that made possible the end of the 'Cold War'. I would have to spend months aboard one of these modern Goliaths to really evaluate their worth and from what little I have seen I'm unsure the crew esprit is still the same. What the Navy has made public is insufficient to reach conclusions, but what I do see makes me uneasy. They seem more like aircraft carriers or cruisers in deportment. If so, that is a great loss and would lessen their effectiveness.

      I fully agree. Life on a boat is truly unique and I would not give it up for any reason. I loved the fastboat life and tried the boomer life but it's not the same. I was on 4 fast boats and 1 boomer (not a GN) and the difference is night and day. A lot has changed since retiring 4+ years ago and of my twenty-year career, I miss the five deployments the most. Three patrols were nice (they made a movie about that boat, lol, Denzel Washington running in the compartment) but I'd do two more deployments before I'd ever considered doing another patrol. Just my two cents.
      As a sidenote, I understand the Navy trying to get word out about subs but it is 'the silent service' for a reason. ABC or ANY other news outlet should leave it be. Don't report on subs, what they are capable of, what they have on board or Seals for that matter. Want to learn about that job or profession? Go be one.

The Ohio Class, the ship class of this sub, is an SSGN, whose primary mission is to launch missiles at enemy targets. Other members of the Ohio Class are SSBNs, and those are the bad boys with the nukes.their mission is as part of the us nuclear triad, consisting of sub launched weapons, bomber launched weapons, and ground based weapons.
