Life Inside $4 Billion US Gigantic Submarine 

I spent over 23 Years on Submarines in my US Navy career. During that time I spent more than 17 1/2 of those years at sea away from my family. Missed a large amount of Family functions, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Births, and Deaths. Was at sea for 9/11. Submariners are a special kind of person. We rely on each other to make sure the number of dives equals the number of surfaces. Each and every crew member knows that if there is a casualty onboard, we will do everything in our power to correct it and save the boat. Would do it all over again. ETRCS(SS), USN RET.

I was an infantryman w 1st Cav 68-70, and I gotta tell you, there’s no frigen way I’d get on one of these and spend months underwater 😳I’d be claustrophobic as hell. My salute to the guys who are in submarine service. Salute👍

My boy, Kevin, has been a Submariner for almost 12 years now. You do not know how hard it can be. My MOST respect and accolades to the Submariners. He is set to do sea trials later this year SSN Massachusetts SSN-798.

One observation about a sailor being on a submarine is that the sailors are working, eating, living and sleeping in the confines of a specialized machine that travels underwater. They are inside this machine for the duration of their mission and basically cut off from the rest of the world. It must take special people to handle this type of living conditions.

PRAYING FOR ALL THOSE PRECIOUS PEOPLE UNDER WATER THE LORD PROTECT EACH ONE.

I am in awe of these folks. I can’t imagine being that brave. Thank you to all service people.

I work where these are being built. We build subs and carriers and they're both interesting to see in person. Hats off to the service members that can spend months on either of them.

To all who serve the great United States of America, God Speed!

3:42 "Submarines are not perfect, however, and will need occasional maintenance." Every submariner: *_dies laughing_*

These guys are not given enough praise for what they are and do ! It takes a VERY specialized guy to be able to pass that training. When I was a Flight Attendant and the guys came home for whatever. I would bring the liquor kit to them and say TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT AND AS MUCH AS YOU WANT . Then I would just write it off to catering … they absolutely deserve it ,..thank you guys and God Bless you all!

Been on a few subs. The silent service. It’s tight, crammed and takes a special breed of men to adapt. Everyone relies on each other. Bravo Zulu US Navy #1. 🇺🇸

Interesting documentary. The importance of those tug boats, the food being good and the morale of the submariners very clear evident.

Navy: "A good and happy crew means you have darn good cooks onboard"

Proud of my submariner ❤

I'm not a submarine, But at least I'm a Marine.

What an excellent informative video! Thanks.

Cool video, good work. I lived on boats for 10 years, from old diesel electric to the most fierce warship ever laid. Was port and starboard the entire time on the last boat, sleep was not had. It was a very intense life-style to say the least. I remember walking on boxes of canned food upon leaving, all lined up in the berthing quarters along the deck. After chasing around everyone on deployment, then maybe having to do other stuff, you start picking away at those boxes of cans. As we would get out of our racks in the dark and move down the passageway, you'd find the holes where the cranks took out a box and you'd take a header off something on the way down. A lot of tough love to be had, but all in all, it was an amazing time in my life and I appreciate what I learned and who I served with. BTW, there are many different vintages, types, and even multiple countries boats represented in this video so don't take it too much to accuracy of details as it would apply to our current new builds. The LA class was the game-changer, and cold-war stopper.

I have worked over 12 years and still working in Indian navy submarine Called Arihant class it was wonderful experience in my life and i enjoy a lot working in submarine in the deep ocean with my crew it's like an another family to me🔥

I most definitely enjoyed it you guys always bring out some really interesting material keep up the hard work thanks for your efforts

Hats off to these guys it's not easy to spend 3 months under water

I served in the Royal Navy back in the 1990's. I respected Submariners as these naval personel are a special breed whichever navy you belong to. God Save the King and our Allies

Hat's off to the submariners !!!

Vídeo muito legal e instrutivo! Viva os submarinistas! BZ!

The most important weapon on a Navy sub? The food.

Your taxpayers' money at work, ladies and gentlemen. And a salute to the sailors doing their very best keeping our country safe while staying above the abyss.

Great video! Thank you all for your service!

Great video guys . Thanks You to the US NAVY. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !!! L.GRAHAM ...HAMPTON, VIRGINIA !!!

Wonderful machines. If I was young again I’d jump at the chance to serve on one.

God bless all who protect us!

Glad our USA 🇺🇸 guys eating great. Made me hungry.

Nice video of the Virginia Class Submarine. The United States has a great/formidable navy.

Thanks, guys, for another outstanding video. Even as a Navy vet from long ago, I still appreciate what our fine young men and women are doing each day as they serve our country.

Essa tecnologia tem que ser usada para proteger a vida marítima...

Speaking as a soldier ~ I can really really really really really appreciate what The Navy does for America. I'm long retired. God Bless The United States Navy!!!

Prayers for all our military personnel keeping us safe 🙏

The shots of the sea, and the ocean, are mesmerizing.

Thanks

I have had a fascination with submarine’s ever since watching. Voyage to bottom of the Sea….. been waiting to see if they come up with a flying Sub .. that can be deployed from the main ship .. now that would be. COOL. !

God bless the underwater crews for such a dedication and their families. Sridhar Devadoss India

Great job crew! I appreciate each and everyone of you!!!

These machines are a whole new level of awesome!

Большое спасибо за такую ​​полезную информацию, я так много узнал

It's overwhelmingly amazing and scary af , a pure combination of a deadly beast. I'm pretty sure even the people operating them on a daily basis don't understand what kind of savage machine they're using. Art at its finest ❤️ the pinnacle of human imagination.

I helped build these at Newport News Shipbuilding. You don't realize how huge they are until you see them up close.

To think that right now in the middle of the Pacific ocean, deep below the water, someone is baking a fresh pizza.

At the 7:37 mark, If an Army MARCHES on its stomach then I guess a Navy FLOATS on its stomach.

A Mars bar was the most precious thing to me on the ship, Reese peanut butter cups was a close second, pizza ALWAYS makes people brighten up!

This is a job that I definitely could not do. I just cannot comprehend the pressures of living on a submarine.

I could only imagine the stories the female sailors have to share being in a space like that with a bunch of dudes for so long.

I'm helping build one now at Newport News and this video allows me to see the finish product and those that will be aboard it. Salute to yall!

Man, if you're gonna be on a submarine deployment for 3-6 months, the boat with that one guy with an eye patch is definitely the one you want to be on....

Essa máquina é incrível demais,

If I ever was going to get in a submarine and stay down there for 3 to 6 months, they better have a bar ,load it with beer and tequila lol

Thank you for sharing.

A big thank you for their service to our armed forces...

All the money couldn't pay me to be on a submarine but I thank the sailors who work hard and put their lives in harms way to defend our freedom. Btw, as a retired Navy , my preference are destroyers and cruisers. Go Navy!!

Impresionante máquina....💪💪💪💪💪💪

Amazing sabmarin. Very good end very Nice. Respect !

You can defiantly tell that many of these sailors want a break. Sub work would be very hard.

Love to all Americans from your mother country England. Love you guys. I'm high on morphine for sciatica feeling close to my American brothers and sisters right now. Xxx

Gostei demais deste vídeo, parabéns!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Nice video, I hope we can contribute in CFD analysis for such models

One thing I’m going to dispel is the myth that submarines had great food ie better than the surface guys. Most skimmers and bubble heads don’t go onto the others ships so this myth persists. Near the end of my career I worked as a rider for SUBLANT being farmed out to a DESRON as a sub liaison for water space management. I rode Perry’s Burkes and Ticos. I also rode with NATO in an Italian flagship. I was surprised with the quality of the food onboard. Some were ok and some were amazing. BTW having an open bar in the mess decks on the Italian ship was a big plus.

I was a Marine for 20 years but wanted to do the Navy. Damn recruiter was never around lol.

Wonderfull machines!!!!!

I have complete admiration, respect and appreciation to all U.S. Navy personnel who serve and have served. Love them all, and I thank you all very much! This is a great video; very informative, I just have one issue with the flow of information. The video begins with a U.S. Navy submarine on the surface showing its Colors (US Flag) and then jumps to SAAB a Swedish company that designs and builds truly incredible world class submarines. Then the video jumps to the commissioning ceremony of a U.S. Navy submarine without stating that the U.S. Navy Subs are designed by General Dynamics Electric Boat Company & Huntington Ingalls Industries and are constructed by New Port News Shipbuilding, all in the US. 100% United States of America. The video is 11:16 minuets long, add a few more seconds and state that the U.S. Navy Virginia Class submarines have nothing to do with Sweden and SAAB Industries. Just saying….

*WE'RE SO PROUD OF OUR SUBMARINE SAILORS...THEY REALLY ARE SPECIAL, GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU PATRIOTS SAILING IN THE LORD'S CARE!!*

God bless USA, saludos from Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸🤝

From experience as a RN caterer I spent most of my time teaching the crew basic table manners, courtesy and hygiene!

Cool, thanks

Damn , I really miss "pizza night" ! . . .

I can’t believe people exist that can make that a reality..wow

Its unfathomable to me how humans today are able to build such a thing , 2000 years ago we still used the horse for transportation, the last 100 years humans have made incredible achievements, in science and technology, now we have the internet, fiber network, capable of incredible speeds . Now We can build submarines and aircraft carriers. It’s unbelievable how far humans species have come in a 100 years , imagine at this rate what we have in 100 years from now . I think we will be able to travel to other stars and planets in the next 200 years

I'm clostrophobic and I've inspected many types of marine military vessels.A Submariner is a special individual whose sensory deprivation is reduced to surface,sub,mission and fresh air.I can't imagine a prison at or in the sea; this is it.

I know a crew member. He said they eat like kings and are always on duty at a moments notice!

Interesting view of sub propeller.

You need to be a different breed of person to handle being a submariner. Could not pay me enough to spend months at a time inside a metal tube in the ocean lol. Mad respect to the ones who do.

I get anxiety just from thinking of no windows or fresh air for consecutive months 🥵

Back in the time of the Iran hostage situation sub patrols lasted six months underwater, and sailors received credit for two yrs. Service.

Just so it is clear, a foreign entity is not manufacturing US Subs. They should have stressed this in the video as it leaves an impression that they are. Ex-bubblehead here and proud of my service. Haze Gray and Away to all my fellow submariners. SSBN-625 Gold.

Bless you bro

The life on a sub starts at 7:32. You are welcome

My next older brother was a lifer and chief on nuke boats. He was on duty during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It's amazing how much healthcare you can fit inside one submarine.

Muito lindo. PIÚMA, ES, Brazil.

Man I just don't know how submariners do it. Sewer pipe Sailors have a very difficult Iife l think. 2 months underway underwater would be jail. I don't know how they do it. More power to them.

OK, so now I have even more respect for those in the U.S. Navy who work on a submarine!!!!!! Only question in my mind, besides what's for dinner, is since the mess hall is where they cook, how does the cooking appliances (stove, ovens, etc.) vent out the exhaust when the sub is submerged for so long?

Army Vietnam vet here: We owe our vets of all branches a LOT. I could not pull duty on a sub, kudos to ALL who do.

I love the mystery of the ocean, but I will NEVER voluntarily choose to explore it.

Couldn’t pay me enough to get into any submarine and go under water…

I have looked everywhere to try and confirm that the Virginia-class submarines are made anywhere else other than in the USA. From Wikipedia: "The Virginia class is built through an industrial arrangement designed to maintain both GD Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding, the only two U.S. shipyards capable of building nuclear-powered submarines. Under the present arrangement, the Newport News facility builds the stern, habitability, machinery spaces, torpedo room, sail, and bow, while Electric Boat builds the engine room and control room. The facilities alternate work on the reactor plant as well as the final assembly, test, outfit, and delivery." I SEE NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE BUILT BY SAAB. SAAB builds subs. Just not for the USA. (The video never actually claimed that the Virginia-class submarines are made by SAAB)

Building a submarine is one thing, Building the factory to build the submarine is another 😆

The new Swedish boat is a killer.

$4 billion US sub. Spends first few minutes talking about Saab and Swedish sub. Huh? Then suddenly all about US Subs. I think editor missed their coffee at the start

Sad that humans on this planet should have to spend such enormous amount of money and energy on protection against each other. Think of what all this fear costs, think of all the good constructive things that all this money could be spent on if we didn't have to live in constant fear of each other!

I served on the SSBN609 Sam Houston 1972-75 3-4 months gone from home then 3-4 months home. Best time of my life. Great food every 6 hours. Got hurt in 75 so put on the beach,

Awesome video. Got my bags pack for an undersea adventure. All aboard?

Is this Ohio nuclear submarine ? IT can carry more than 110 missles including the nuclear missles of 10 Marches Speech.
