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.

Honestly, it's refreshing to see this comment. I think you'd understand better than most people here. Everyone thinks the hardest part is being underwater or being cramped like that. But that's nothing. Especially not compared to the daily grind. Even the easiest jobs I've seen on subs are ridiculous compared to most civilian jobs, but then you get to the lives of and the expectations placed on all the nuclear operators and the officers... it's not an easy life. I simultaneously love my work and hate my job.
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👍
@@aawells07 That's the neat part: you're not in the ocean, you're in a submarine! Haha, that sounds weird, but you often just forget you're underwater, it feels like you're just stuck in a small building.
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.
Submariners either are, or become, a very special breed. Let me put it like this, if you're out to sea and a family member dies you won't know about it until you step on dry land again. There are no communications and safety protocols prevent it. I know a guy who was a submariner, the longest trip he did was 9 months. Even he admitted he became a bit weird after that. 9 months and it's essentially a different world you're coming back to, 9 months of missed news.

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.

Not really. Submariners have to qualify to continue serving onboard. You have roughly 1-year to earn your qualification. If you fail, you are shipped off to the surface fleet. That being said, the qualification is comprised of every system on board, electrical & mechanical. You MUST learn and understand how every system works and is interconnected with other systems. Learning how one failed component can cause multiple problems throughout the boat. You must learn damage control technique, how the internal ventilation system is designed, everything about the emergency recovery systems, how the reactor systems work, memorize how the waters systems are designed and what modes and operations are performed by it. This isn’t just the mechanical rates, everyone on board has to have a basic knowledge of the submarines entire systems to stay and work on board. The funny part is this, those qualifications are just the “basic knowledge required”, you have to build on that knowledge to qualify higher level watch stations.
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....
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!!
I'm really grateful for all of my boat's cooks. Each one is really good at what they do. You can even tell who cooked what based on what's served, the sweetness or spices, and general flair! Even the most basic meals, where there was no time or resources were running low, are so much better than what I've heard about any surface ship!
I love this stuff my dad was in the Royal Australia navy for 20 years spewing I was a dumb kid😢Legends all these people love from Melbourne Australia 👍🙏
Defiantly? Defiant is someone who doesn't follow orders. The sailors DEFINITELY are not defiant....they would be thrown in the Brig. Just FYI: Definitely and defiantly have two very different definitions.
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.
My dad served with a guy in the submarines that had claustrophobia. None of them know why, but this guy was just determined to be a submariner. Anytime he had a panic attack, they just knocked him out lol.
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 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….
They're the best at what they do, the primary purpose purpose of the military is to fight when needed to defend our country. Many of you may not know this, but the US Marine Corp is in the department of the US Navy, the US Marine Corp is the best prepared fighting force in our Nations and in the world, traditionally Marines end through the sea, secure territory for the army and sometimes the air force. When that has been accomplished they leave through the sea. Marines are Americas amphibious force
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.
Bull. You can’t carry enough suppliesto stay underwater that long. Ever since nukes joined the fleet Patrol (assuming you are a fast attack) ever may last 6 months or more, but your generally bouncing in and out of port showing the flag.
Bullcrap. I've sailed in Nuc Subs and you carry around 90 days of stores. 30 days of which is emergency store and you really don't want to be eating those as all the good stuff has already been eaten. (50 years later I still can't look at a 3 bean salad) Deployment may last 6 months, (my old boat did an 11 month deployment but only remained submerged for around 60 days at a time.) but the need to reload stores is every few months. Really, learn your shit before you open your mouth.
@@bammab977 they managed to re-supply them with mainly the basic survivial supplies/food, and a few extras so they had what they needed to stay underwater. Yes, this made it hard on several crew members, but they stuck with it.
Nope, 6 months under water without surfacing does not occur because of food supplies that need to be replenished - even being highly creative and stretching food supplies, 6 months straight is not possible due to the size of the crew.
@@LiPo5000 So, what boats you sailed in that makes you so informed? How many days you been submerged? How deep you been? What was your longest underwater deployment?
$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
Kinda sad you lot are. Did you miss the part about Saab producing submarines across 7 continents? Also, the sub is owned by the US. Please refrain from leaving shit comments without actually paying attention to the video
@@bluemicrobe7744 but SAAB doesn’t make subs for USA, GDEB does. It’s clearly a mix up of two different stories. Saab might make some sun systems but not the whole sub.
@@TheMelbournelad OKAY, I agree it was a mix up and quite random. It’s free content anyway and the transition isn’t hidden you can tell where it is so no information is getting mixed up. I found it quite informative for a free video and a little mix up isn’t something to shun them over.
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?
I'd say recycling or pumping it in the heat/cold system. Or going up once and again to pump it out without too much pression? O simply putting it in some torpedo and launch it as it is?
This is a great question. So all the air in the submarine gets recirculated while submerged. All of the grill exhaust that you're talking about goes into the fan room and recirculates with the rest of the air. There is equipment on board that cleans the recycled air and removes the toxins and harmful gases from the air. Fresh air replaces the old stale air when the submarine comes up to snorkel or comes to the surface.
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. !
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.
Some people are just wired different. I know people who prefer to be indoors with all their windows covered and no fresh air, to being outside in the elements. I am not one of those people. I go nuts after one day indoors.
@@webbtrekker534, The guys at the front lines should be getting the best pay. BTW, I was stationed for a while at a US Marine Corp base that had a cook school (Camp Johnson, North Carolina) boy, did we eat well
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,
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.
I don't remember ever having that much steak on my boats . Not enough freezer space for a 90-day load out with all that we needed for a balanced menu . CHOP would've been in trouble for that one.
@@pedrosalazar4748 Could be a result of the times. I was in 1964 to 1970. Also it may have depended on who your skipper was. Out Capt was a WW II white hat who got Academy trained as an officer. Also towards the end of my enlistment porkchops were starting to be assigned to boats vs a Jr line officer as Supply. Ours ended up as having come off a DD almost right to the boat. Proved to be pretty much of a Dick.
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)
they are not, Saab does build some Diesel powered subs , but not for the US Navy. This whole video is just a bunch of irrelevent facts taken from different videos. Pointless.
I was an Airedale and I got a tour aboard an SSBN in norfolk.......was the coolest thing I have ever seen! I was like, Damn! you bubbleheads got amazing food!! :D
"Aruugah! Aruugah! Dive! Dive!" Wanna see a great WWII submarine flick? 'Run Silent, Run Deep' with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster and a supporting cast of great character actors ! 5 stars!
Only the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics builds US submarines, at shipyards in Connecticut and Virginia at a rate of one submarine each a year.
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!
No it doesn't carry 110 missiles, the guided missile submarines converted can carry that amount but no nukes on those, other than propulsion. The SSBN can carry multiple warheads but only so many tridents.

The funny part is this, those qualifications are just the “basic knowledge required”, you have to build on that knowledge to qualify higher level watch stations.
The most important weapon on a Navy sub? The food.
Yes gotta feed the nuclear operators
And what's the most important paper? Toilet paper.

The most important weapon/need of all the military is food, destroy their food chain, destroy their forces.
Absolutely

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....
Most likely using the patch so the covered eye stays ready for low-light conditions.

What an excellent informative video! Thanks.
I most definitely enjoyed it you guys always bring out some really interesting material keep up the hard work thanks for your efforts
Their efforts are performed flawlessly on a minute by minute daily basis.
I have the highest respect for these submariners.
Thanks for your service.
Nice video of the Virginia Class Submarine. The United States has a great/formidable navy.

@@teeess9551 LOL..i'm sure some of that goes on.
@@johniii8147 well, from this video, there are apparently women now. Who thought that was a good idea. 97 men. 3 women. In a tin can for 6 months.
Glad our USA 🇺🇸 guys eating great. Made me hungry.
The food on subs is very important to morale. The navy makes sure they're eating good!
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!!
*WE'RE SO PROUD OF OUR SUBMARINE SAILORS...THEY REALLY ARE SPECIAL, GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU PATRIOTS SAILING IN THE LORD'S CARE!!*

From experience as a RN caterer I spent most of my time teaching the crew basic table manners, courtesy and hygiene!
This is a job that I definitely could not do. I just cannot comprehend the pressures of living on a submarine.
Pun?

Stay on the sidelines.
Navy: "A good and happy crew means you have darn good cooks onboard"
Subs have good cooks on board because the crew knows where they sleep. Their mistakes have been known to show up in their bunks.
I'm really grateful for all of my boat's cooks. Each one is really good at what they do. You can even tell who cooked what based on what's served, the sweetness or spices, and general flair!
Even the most basic meals, where there was no time or resources were running low, are so much better than what I've heard about any surface ship!
I love this stuff my dad was in the Royal Australia navy for 20 years spewing I was a dumb kid😢Legends all these people love from Melbourne Australia 👍🙏
A big thank you for their service to our armed forces...
Thank them with your tongue.
Ok ma'am.

Hello Frank 👋
The life on a sub starts at 7:32. You are welcome
Out Strding USA 🇺🇸 😎
You can defiantly tell that many of these sailors want a break.
Sub work would be very hard.
Defiantly? Defiant is someone who doesn't follow orders. The sailors DEFINITELY are not defiant....they would be thrown in the Brig. Just FYI: Definitely and defiantly have two very different definitions.

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.
Clostrophobic?? Come on...learn to write it at least...
You're 💯
My dad served with a guy in the submarines that had claustrophobia. None of them know why, but this guy was just determined to be a submariner. Anytime he had a panic attack, they just knocked him out lol.
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!
Man all those make u fat...
Essa tecnologia tem que ser usada para proteger a vida marítima...
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 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….
Yeah... I was going to mention the same thing, until I saw that over two million people watched it and obviously did not care...
You have an IQ of four.
nice video
Great video guys .
Thanks You to the US NAVY.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !!!
L.GRAHAM ...HAMPTON, VIRGINIA !!!
They're the best at what they do, the primary purpose purpose of the military is to fight when needed to defend our country. Many of you may not know this, but the US Marine Corp is in the department of the US Navy, the US Marine Corp is the best prepared fighting force in our Nations and in the world, traditionally Marines end through the sea, secure territory for the army and sometimes the air force. When that has been accomplished they leave through the sea. Marines are Americas amphibious force
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.
Back in the time of the Iran hostage situation sub patrols lasted six months underwater, and sailors received credit for two yrs. Service.
Bull. You can’t carry enough suppliesto stay underwater that long. Ever since nukes joined the fleet
Patrol (assuming you are a fast attack) ever may last 6 months or more, but your generally bouncing in and out of port showing the flag.
Bullcrap. I've sailed in Nuc Subs and you carry around 90 days of stores. 30 days of which is emergency store and you really don't want to be eating those as all the good stuff has already been eaten. (50 years later I still can't look at a 3 bean salad) Deployment may last 6 months, (my old boat did an 11 month deployment but only remained submerged for around 60 days at a time.) but the need to reload stores is every few months. Really, learn your shit before you open your mouth.
@@bammab977 they managed to re-supply them with mainly the basic survivial supplies/food, and a few extras so they had what they needed to stay underwater. Yes, this made it hard on several crew members, but they stuck with it.
Nope, 6 months under water without surfacing does not occur because of food supplies that need to be replenished - even being highly creative and stretching food supplies, 6 months straight is not possible due to the size of the crew.
@@LiPo5000 So, what boats you sailed in that makes you so informed? How many days you been submerged? How deep you been? What was your longest underwater deployment?
7:37 He said “excellent food” 😂😂😂

$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
It's all around pretty sloppy writing. I don't think they care. It's all about clicks, not about accuracy.
Oh shut up
Kinda sad you lot are. Did you miss the part about Saab producing submarines across 7 continents? Also, the sub is owned by the US. Please refrain from leaving shit comments without actually paying attention to the video
@@bluemicrobe7744 but SAAB doesn’t make subs for USA, GDEB does.
It’s clearly a mix up of two different stories.
Saab might make some sun systems but not the whole sub.
@@TheMelbournelad OKAY, I agree it was a mix up and quite random. It’s free content anyway and the transition isn’t hidden you can tell where it is so no information is getting mixed up.
I found it quite informative for a free video and a little mix up isn’t something to shun them over.
Great video! Thank you all for your service!
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?
I'd say recycling or pumping it in the heat/cold system. Or going up once and again to pump it out without too much pression? O simply putting it in some torpedo and launch it as it is?
Just move the exhaust fumes to a separate chamber, and then release the fumes from the chamber.
This is a great question. So all the air in the submarine gets recirculated while submerged. All of the grill exhaust that you're talking about goes into the fan room and recirculates with the rest of the air. There is equipment on board that cleans the recycled air and removes the toxins and harmful gases from the air. Fresh air replaces the old stale air when the submarine comes up to snorkel or comes to the surface.
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 know a crew member. He said they eat like kings and are always on duty at a moments notice!
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. !
Ever heard of UUV ?
Underwater unmanned drone submarines are already in existence.
Read Michael DiMercurio's novels
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.
Some people are just wired different. I know people who prefer to be indoors with all their windows covered and no fresh air, to being outside in the elements. I am not one of those people. I go nuts after one day indoors.
@@theobserver9131,
Most of the civilized people spend most of their time indoors
That is why we get better food and more pay!
@@webbtrekker534,
The guys at the front lines should be getting the best pay.
BTW, I was stationed for a while at a US Marine Corp base that had a cook school (Camp Johnson, North Carolina) boy, did we eat well
@@PurpleObscuration so what is your point?
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,

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.

Damn , I really miss "pizza night" ! . . .
Italian night wasn't bad either
I liked the fact we had steak three times a week on my boat. Loved those Rib Eyes!!!
I don't remember ever having that much steak on my boats . Not enough freezer space for a 90-day load out with all that we needed for a balanced menu . CHOP would've been in trouble for that one.
@@pedrosalazar4748 Could be a result of the times. I was in 1964 to 1970. Also it may have depended on who your skipper was. Out Capt was a WW II white hat who got Academy trained as an officer. Also towards the end of my enlistment porkchops were starting to be assigned to boats vs a Jr line officer as Supply. Ours ended up as having come off a DD almost right to the boat. Proved to be pretty much of a Dick.
Building a submarine is one thing, Building the factory to build the submarine is another 😆
Incredible ... ! 👍👍👍
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)
U.S. subs are 100% U.S. built. Very few parts are sourced from LCGs and none of critical nature.
they are not, Saab does build some Diesel powered subs , but not for the US Navy. This whole video is just a bunch of irrelevent facts taken from different videos. Pointless.
🥱
This should be called life outside a 4 billion dollar submarine
My next older brother was a lifer and chief on nuke boats. He was on duty during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
even surface ships use dry docks if it involves hull repairs or maintenance or something with the props or shafts
No, they don't "make" water and oxygen. They extract oxygen from water, and they purify saltwater.
@Blob B your name is fitting.
I can’t believe people exist that can make that a reality..wow
Couldn’t pay me enough to get into any submarine and go under water…
A brave person does it like a champ.
I was an Airedale and I got a tour aboard an SSBN in norfolk.......was the coolest thing I have ever seen! I was like, Damn! you bubbleheads got amazing food!! :D
um im not sure SAAB makes american subs ?? i thought that was general dynamics and so forth
Correct. SAAB does not make the U.S. submarines.

"Aruugah! Aruugah! Dive! Dive!" Wanna see a great WWII submarine flick? 'Run Silent, Run Deep' with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster and a supporting cast of great character actors ! 5 stars!
Sweden makes submarines for the US?
No its just jumping around to a bunch of different navies.
Only the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics builds US submarines, at shipyards in Connecticut and Virginia at a rate of one submarine each a year.

And self righteous leftys running for their safe spaces.
@@fleyua7176 Thats kinda the idea. We pool our money so we can build things that break things.

Is this Ohio nuclear submarine ? IT can carry more than 110 missles including the nuclear missles of 10 Marches Speech.
No it doesn't carry 110 missiles, the guided missile submarines converted can carry that amount but no nukes on those, other than propulsion. The SSBN can carry multiple warheads but only so many tridents.
