When I boarded the USS Toledo I did not know I was going to be given the opportunity to crawl down a torpedo tube. Honestly I was thinking I would have a conversation with someone about the periscope or something but it did not occur to me that when you are under the ice you cannot use the periscope. When they asked me if I wanted to see a torpedo tube I didn’t realized I had no clue how they worked. Most people overlook this seemingly simple system, but when you take a moment and analyze it you will realize it is quite complicated. I hope this is the level of detail you were hoping for in the submarine series, because this is what gets me excited. I haven’t decided which video is next but I’ll tell you this, I did not know one of the methods they use on board to make oxygen. Anyways, thank you for watching the series and please consider subscribing if you feel like this is worthy of your time. I don’t know if you’re the type of person that likes to share videos with other people, but I would appreciate it if you could pass the submarine series on to a friend or two. As always, I would like to express my gratitude to people who support Smarter every day on Patreon at www.patreon.com/SmarterEveryDay . I am thankful for the support, and the next video has a special surprise for you, the Patrons.

One of the things I love about Destin is that simple phrase, "My understanding is..." It's genius. It explains to someone that you have an interest in whatever is being discussed, and that you know at least a little about it. Yet at the same time it suggests that you'd like to know more, you're open to being corrected, and you acknowledge that they know more than you and that you're cool with that fact. Those three words are a fantastic tool for opening really worthwhile dialogue. I'm going to strive to use them a lot more in my life.

If you are even a little bit claustrophobic it is recommended you stay out of torpedo tubes. I served aboard 1 diesel boat and 4 nukes and would never allow myself to slide into a torpedo tube. In fact, I only looked into maybe 3 or 4 empty tubes ever. m

I got the chance to crawl down a torpedo tube on my first boat (USS John C. Calhoun, SSBN-630B) when we were at Test Depth. It's a common tradition on Navy Subs and is quite a surreal feeling as you're crawling down the tube with nothing but a steel door between you and crushing sea pressure. Definitely not for those who have even the slightest smidge of clausterphobia.

the 688 is a tad dated, a lot of knowledge about it's inner workings is pretty much public knowledge these days. And remember he could record whatever he wanted.. but at the end he had to give the camera to them and they removed any footage showing anything that would be classified. You'll note for example he never showed any of the valves or the shape of the ports used to flood the torpedo tube as the shape of these openings would be specially designed to make sure the water and air would flow very smoothly to reduce noise.

XIV steam torpedo. I now exactly what the WRT tank is. Thank you so much, for posting this, and thank you to the officers and crew of USS Toledo for making it possible.

@MrBtdobie 3 года назад

True, but your nitrogen supply is limited.

@tobiasl.726 3 года назад

But you can't breath pure oxygen. There is more to air than just oxygen. Produced oxygen can only be used to offset the co2 generated from breathing. It can't offset lost air. When the air is gone it's gone and you would die. No matter how much oxygen you generate from water.

@FabledGentleman 3 года назад

What he says can be a little bit confusing. Yes you can make endless amounts of oxygen with electrolysis. But in case that fails, it's of course neat to keep as much air as possible, and air is not only oxygen, the majority of air is nitrogen, this is also the main reason why you want to keep it. If you keep venting the air, and keep making oxygen, at some point your air inside the sub would be 100% oxygen, which is a very bad idea.

@1schwererziehbar1 3 года назад

Air is only 20% oxygen. 80% is nitrogen. You can't get that from water.
