Could you live in a cramped, pressurized, under-water cylinder for several months? Here is why it sucks to live on a submarine.
A full day rotation on a submarine is 18 hours not 24! There are three, six-hour shifts of working, private time, and sleeping. It is physiologically and psychologically punishing on your body.
Submariners don’t have personal beds. They practice hot-bunking, which means that when you are out and about for your day, someone else is sleeping in your bed! There are only two showers for the entire crew, and the maximum showering time is 3-5 minutes.
The seating on the mess deck is minimal! It is where sailors eat, and only six to a dozen people at a time can sit there. Too bad if you like to nibble on your food.
And I guarantee you are not on a submarine right now. The crew are not allowed to communicate with the outside world because it can give away the sub’s stealth position to enemy.

Time in the shower isn't monitored because you do it in your free time. The amount of water you use is. Turn the water on, get wet, turn it off and soap up. Then turn on again to rinse off. When they're doing a citric acid cleaning of the evaporator, it has to run continuously for a while so "Hollywood showers" are authorized. Use as much water as you want. There are small electric heaters for each shower so the water is warm but never hot. That's my insight on that part of submarine life.

@Conflict_Zone Год назад

@gavindereus3643 Год назад

They’ve got RO units now and make over a tonne of water a day, the only down side to that is you have to make noise pumping it out?

@jzjzjzj Год назад

You wouldn't think a submarine would be so stingy on water considering it's in the ocean

@CaptainBooch Год назад

@@jzjzjzj Absolutely! The idea is not being stingy with water, but what it costs to make the water. You'd have to have a watchstander who has other important responsibilities start up the evaporator or RO unit, run pumps, and use up steam and electrical power. The reactor lasts for decades before refueling but that refuel is like, a billion dollars. So conserving that energy is prioritized. This whole evolution makes noise and is costly in several other ways. In the military, if a problem can be solved by making a sailors/soldiers life slightly more miserable, then it's an easy call.

@clemboslice43 Год назад

@@CaptainBooch you’re not wrong but also not right. It also has to deal with tactics. The more water is used the more waste you have to pump off which makes a lot of noise and could possibly get you counter detected by enemy subs or surface ships. Only good submarine is a quiet one.

@rjgnavy Год назад

Some notes from a submariner. I've been in 2 classes, the Ohio class ballistic missile sub and a newer Virginia class. 1) we have moved away from 18 hour days and now do 24 hours. This is due to studies showing the 18 hour shift was too taxing on the physical and mental state of the crew. 2) hot bunking, or hot racking, is generally only if absolutely necessary. Mostly happens when more than just the crew is underway. We do everything we can to minimize this practice but sometimes it is unavoidable. 3) showers are split between lower enlisted, E-6 and below, E-7 and above, officers, and the commanding officer and executive officer share one. Laundry however there are 2 washing machines and dryers on an Ohio class but only 1 of each on a Virginia class 4) crews mess, where we eat can sit about 40 on an Ohio class submarine and 28 on a Virginia class during meals.

No heat no sitting standing with requirement to cover the ground between the guard posts every few minutes. No cold weather gear. Jus fatigue coat, standard wool glove liners and dress/multi preposterous black leather outers. For some reason they would not allow us to wear our used heavy cotton snow pants. But the shift rotation was what really sucked for me as I could barely get to sleep in two hours knowing I had to be back in station in two hours which meant our sleep time with transit to and from locations made it more like 1.5 hour of possible sleep time if you didn’t need to crap or get chow.

@wyleekan5407 Год назад

You can do the same on a surface ship. They get basket leave after a cruise also. This is only on the fast attack subs… the boomers it’s different more room to roam. Also when you move up in rank then you get your own rack. An incentive to make rate and move up the chain…. On carriers we had are own coffin rack but we had to share the head with hundreds of other shipmates. I finally made my way up to a berthing that had 1 shower for 25 men 2 sinks 2 toilets….

I worked with a guy in the oil field who was a submariner cook. He got kicked out the navy cause he broke in to some area that had alcohol for the officers or some shit if I remember correctly. They found him passed out hammered in side 😂. He always had a problem with alcohol and drugs afterwords too but he’s sober now and has been for many years. It’s just hilarious if you hear him tell the story though.

My boyfriend is in one of those scary things right now. I miss him every every day and I text him everyday so he can see when he gets back. He’s all alone with only his crew mates and those cramped beds ugh it just makes me cry. I understand that we have to be stealthy but can’t they make a call exception for girlfriends?!? I mean those are our man’s out there, they need love. Oh the things I would do for one last call with him. I know he’s coming back soon and I pray everyday he’s safe and ok. But each day without him is misery. My brave soldier, I miss you everyday and I’m waiting for you everyday to come back to me.

It’s unfortunate, but you still have needs sexually. Nothing wrong with fulfilling them in the meantime

@Unknown_user51 Год назад

If they made call exception for girlfriends so how will they call there wife's and other family members oh I forget gf is not a family member 🤣

@scoutguard3015 Год назад

Well there are several reasons to this. First off phones can make calls when the sub is not submerged, but you have to be near a reciever in a costal area and that's very rare, the only way to make calls while submerged is a radio buoy that's limited to the depth, and that's limited by the depth and is only used by commanders and officers Even if you could use phones underwater it would probably not be allowed to not expose the position of the sub. Hope your boyfriend gets back safe!

@sonarshep2814 Год назад

Awesome video and about working hours while underway it's 16 hours. 8 hours on watch, 8 hours off-going, and then 8 hours on-coming or rack time before you start the whole day all over again. Most subs have switched to that rather than 4 6 hour shifts for better circadian rhythm. Also for better productivity.

@Chinfo32 2 месяца назад

Yes, but that would allow a lack of training in different parts of the say, night is different than day, different evolutions, blowing sans, dumping TDU cans, ventilating, training cycles such as fire drills, flooding drills, battlestations, meals. A crew must cycle thru all these evolutions consistently to remain trained and vigilant.

@abluecardigan 17 дней назад

⁠@@Chinfo32when my boat switched from four sixes to a 24 hour schedule, we rotated each watchsection through the shifts about once a month. on top of that, drills were all hands anyway, so no real training value was lost because some mm3 didn't blow sans for a couple weeks

I definitely don’t think I could. I joined the U.S. Navy at 18 and although I wanted to see the world I was terrified of being stationed abroad a ship and I knew I was not smart enough to get a job on a submarine. 😜 Anyways during my A school days I was given orders to Spain. From that point on it was either TAD, detachment liberty to bases across Europe, the Med, Middle East and Gulf region. To say I DID NOT MISS being on a ship or submarine is an understatement. Thank you U.S. Navy and America for allowing me to serve you. It was my honor and pleasure. Thank you America for offering me a safe place to live, raise a family, be married and spend the few years I have left with you. 🇺🇸✌🏽🙏

After watching those ww2 docs getting blown up underwater or getting hit by a torpedo, get stranded in the middle of the ocean. Just watching this is nightmare fuel for me. I've also been on a sub. The air is stale and dry. This would make sense because this sub was at an IMAX in Portland, OR, and hasn't seen action for many years. My guess is that a working sub would have fresher air.
