My dad was on SS 222 Bluefish on 8 patrols during WW II so this was a great video to demonstrate some of what he experienced. Thanks so much. BTW I heard so many stories from him about his time in submarines while I was growing up. He passed away at 92 years old but spent all his life in one small town in Oklahoma except for the years in WW II. It was certainly the most eventful time of his life.

In the early 70s I watched torpedoes being loaded into a boomer pretty much the same way. Angled hatch up front, angled framework attached to the hull and torpedo lowered to the boat on our traveling crane. On the framework I believe they still used ropes to lower into torpedo room. Framework must have been stored on the tender as there is no storage below deck. USS Simon Lake AS-33

@gildedbear5355
@gildedbear5355 Месяц назад
Somehow it never occurred to me that you go to sea with the tubes loaded. It makes COMPLETE sense now that I think about it. I guess it's because guns DON'T sit loaded the whole time until they are needed and my brain just applied that rule in general. But yeah, torpedoes (and missiles in general) are big and if you don't load the tubes before sailing you are limiting how many shots you have and how quickly you can start firing when needed.

I've always thought they loaded them by putting them in the tubes from the outside and then moving them to the individual trays from there, with the tubes themselves being the last loaded. I can see this way being easier and much less wet if reloading at sea. Glad to be proven wrong.

At 3:30 tension is when your pulling on something, compression is when you squeeze something. The strong backs ( the white bottle looking thing) goes between the 2 pad eyes and completes the rib that's cut out to let torpedoes fit through. When the strong back is in place and the big screw is tightened up it is in compression.

Pb blast is a joke, wd is only good for installing hoses. If you want the best rusty bolt fixer use marine fogging oil. Omc brand works the best. Been an automotive/marine tech most of my life.

PB Blaster is great at loosening the rust. It does not keep rust from forming for very long in the weather. Once you get a joint moving freely WD 40 will keep the moisture from getting to the bare metal.
