Give me a ping Vasili, one ping only.

A you please tell us where in the submarine the sonar room is located? I’ve seen some diagrams where it is depicted on the lower deck (periscope films) and others where it says upper deck

Is it true that you have or had a cribbage board on board?

Would the ship have had a piano on board when it was in service like it has one now?

She is a Grand Old Girl, we could never pay her back for all she has done.for us.

How do you define a length of thread for grommet? Is the working formula for this length or there is only your experience? Thank you.

THATS MY BEST FRIENDDD🎉🎉🎉

This is a VERY complicated subject. This vid is not even a overview.

I never had a chance to wish you the best for the new chapter in your life. After 5 years as Volunteer on the Olympia and the Becuna, I miss you and I miss the Seaport Museum! Ahoy and Godspeed. Alles Gute wuenscht Rolf Willers

I Hope to get back to the USS Olympia before Christmas, it's on of the only historical ships my wife hasn't been to.

grr. this annoying music, whyyyy

Greg, Lovely tour, but wish you had done it in LANDSCAPE video mode. As an old QM2 (SS) who served on three different Guppy boats (Tench, Entemedor & Corporal), I realize that this is not an in depth tour but a quick once-over tour. However I still can't help offering a few extra highlights, but NOT as a criticism of your content. FWD. TORPEDO ROOM: 1. A bit about the escape trunk, perhaps. 2. The Guppy inboard profile plan notes 17 bunks in each torpedo room. WHERE ARE (or were) THEY? I don't recall from my service, as i bunked in the after battery. 17 + 17 (in torpedo rooms) +36 (in after battery) + 5 (in chiefs' quarters) = 75 enlisted bunks. Just about enough to avoid "hot bunking", but no guarantees. Any further info? FWD BATTERY: 1. There were several plans for the officers' staterooms, with some offering more bunks than others. Perhaps the best plan I have seen is two fwd stbd. rooms each with 3 bunks, then the one port room with 3 bunks plus the CO's cabin. Total TEN possible officer bunks w/o extras in the wardroom. With this config, often times both the officer's head and shower were in the starboard rear corner of the torpedo room. CONTROL ROOM: 1. Everyone talks about the Christmas tree, but no one talks about the main hydraulic manifold directly below it where the real work is controlled, including the main air induction valve inside the aft end of the sail. 2. "Normal" main ballast tanks are open to sea at the bottom without any valves. There is a large air vent valve at the top of each tank, normally closed when the sub is on the surface. The surfaced boat thus always rides on a cushion of air. When submerging, the hydraulic valves on the manifold below the Christmas tree are opened which opens the air vent valves at the tops of the ballast tanks, allowing the air bubble inside to escape and water to flood in thru the open tank bottoms. This makes the boat heavy enough to submerge. When surfacing, the air valves at the tops are closed and 600# compressed air is blown into the tanks forcing some of the water out thru the open bottoms. The sub gets lighter and begins to rise then surface, still low in the water. The 10# low pressure blower (located in the passageway outboard and opposite the periscope wells) is then used to blow the tanks dry with outside air without using any of the sub's more precious compressed air. It is easy to see from the bridge when the tanks are finally dry because the 10# air escapes thru the open tank bottoms and bubbles up beside the sub. CONNING TOWER: 1. Point out radar, navigational plotting table/DRT for manual fire control (my watch station), torpedo firing consoles and periscope wells extending to bottom of the pressure hull. CREW'S MESS: 1. GDU - Garbage Disposal Unit?? CREW BERTHING: 1. Thirty-SIX??? bunks??? 3rows x 3high x 4banks = 36. Is Hogan missing a bunk? 2. Generally the heads on Guppy subs all emptied by gravity into sanitary tanks below and the bowls thru a simple flapper valve at the bottom of the bowl, flushed with a bit of sea water. But when emptying the sanitary tanks compressed air was used. But VERY important, all drain and vent valves to the tank first had to be closed and the outboard expulsion valve opened before the tank blowing air could be turned on. Back in the '60s it was standard practice to blow the sanitary tanks late each night when the tide at the New London sub base was ebbing out to sea. NOT done any more. It was no fun being the topside watch when those tanks were blown into the river and then vented up thru the decking topside. MANEUVERING ROOM: 1. The explanation of the cubicle levers you gave on your separate Maneuvering Room video was the VERY BEST and simplest sensible explanation I have ever had. Thank you. AFT TORPEDO ROOM: 1. Other items of note are crews' head, the 3" signal ejector, the pair of hydraulic steering rams outboard of the tubes and the stern plane ram in the aft center overhead. AGAIN GREAT TOUR !!! Thank you both. Byron Stuart Boyd QM-2 (SS)

I love your costume ❤❤

Delightfully dorky!!!! Hope you had an awesome halloween! (with your bat onesie, of course)

Wonderful! 😅

I was hoping for more information on how a TDC works. Any suggestions?

Thank you for doing this.

Very skipped over period of history. 📚👨🏽‍🎓

Completely forgot to say when the yeoman rate was born

Very Nice video!, I live in Jersey and dive the Heavy gear almost on a daily basis the MKV suit is actually not as cumbersome as some might think!

Beautiful

it's hard to believe we could build something like that in the 1800s

Too bad youboob decided to put big banners for other videos over 1/3 of this

The original Netflix! 😂

I went aboard the USS Cod in the mid-1960s and can only imagine how claustrophobic it must have been to serve on one of the fleet boats. With utmost respect for those sailors, Wright Flyer, USAF (1968-1972).

good stuiff!

Sub duty is not fun.

🦀

What’s the exact name for the transmitter? I cannot find a single thing on it.

Wow the reach of General Motors is mind blowing 🤯

I did not know this. How cool.

Cool!

Poor whale. Cool video!

WOW!

🦀

The captain's statecloset.

Nice tour of that WW2 sub.

It was known as hot racking, the Germans did it and probably still do !👍👍

I leanrd a lot from this video about the BECUNA. Thanks!

BECUNA is so cool!

Wow so cool!

Intresting.

I got a chance to tour that ship when I was a little kid.

I did not know that.

Cool!

Great info.

I learned alot.
