Theyve had more advanced subs for more than a decade atleast. Take a look at a supersonic drone that was created in 19fucking60. They waited 20 years to leak even a smudge of info about it.
It's amazing how much larger they are compared to the old diesel subs of ww2. Much respect to the sailors from back then and today. The idea of an accident and sinking in one gives me the shivers.
I got to visit the USS Pennsylvania in Florida back in 1991. It was an SSBN and very, very large inside between the missile tubes. Lots of room to move around but I suspect the empty spaces would be filled with provisions prior to its six-month operational deployment.
@@luckydawg7176 Yes, but by definition a fatal mistake by anyone results in it being over for them. I visited the USS Pennsylvania and it was impressive and very well built for compartment and pressure hull survivability, so I think it was a safe as it could be designed.
I've always been fascinated by submarines, but I would be terrified of being inside one when they are deep in the ocean. Kudos to the brave men and women who do this.
theres a submarine in long beach california thats docked by queen mary that you can tour, althought it might be closed to the public right now due to it needing repairs.
I figure it is sort of like an airplane. You know that you are really far down, but you can’t tell except by an electronic instrument, and you have four walls around you.
My dad and I are both retired submariners and we were lucky enough to tour this boat shortly after its conversion from SSBN to SSGN. I served on a SSBN and my dad served on a diesel boat. We were both very impressed with the Florida. Awesome piece of machinery.
Can I ask you a question then if somehow that sub in the video is blown away will it cause a nuclear explosion? Or they have preventive measures to avoid a nuclear explosion?
I think that most/all nuclear weapons have to be detonated in a very specific way to reach fusion/fission. Blowing one to pieces shouldn't cause a nuclear explosion. In the past, American and Soviet subs and aircraft have suffered catastrophic events (explosions, crashes, sinking) and the nukes didnt blow up.
@@adityakaushik941 it wont cause a nuclear explosion. There is a real chance the reactor spews out radiation on the sea floor as the reaction speeds up without control rods.. but that just makes lots of radiation, it wont go into a thermo nucelar state.. It really depends on the type of damage the sub receives. That said.. that is how older reactors work... newer ones in ships like this probably slow down the reaction once it hits sea water,....(we have no idea the reactor desgign.. definitely be alot of rads... but not a huge nuke like explosion like hiroshima.. etc.. just fissile material reacting with what ever it comes into contact with.. specifically oxygen...
@@adityakaushik941 Yes, for a nuclear explosion you need the Uranium in the reactor to "fuse" like in a nuclear bomb to create a chain reaction... this is done with a precharge of TNT dedicated to slamming 2 uranium atoms together. With a nuclear sub this has begun allready and is controlled in the reactor, once the control rods are removed the reaction speeds up, but it is not runaway like a bomb. essentially the material is fissile and spews out radiation... again depending on the reactor design. Russia has many of these reactors rusting in ports in old subs as you can not turn off a nuclear reactor.
Squidward Tortillini hes kinda right. i mean it ok being patriotic but like the whole. “we soo cool. that ship made of american metal,we’re the only people in the world with secret technology. MURICAAAAA YEE” sort pf attitude seen in sooo many american soldiers is just laughable. its stupid to think that germany,russia,china do not have better scientists.the rocket tech nasa used to beat russia was found using nazi scientists because they were soo desperate. americans are wayyy over their head like. bitch sit down, be humble.
Just came across this video as recent as Oct-2021 ... Would like to say this : I've the utmost respect and love for those silent warriors put their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe here at home . Thank you for your sacrifices
Actually since it's been converted from a ballistic missile sub to a guided missile sub, its HAS become a scalpel instead of s sword. Our guided missiles are very very accurate.
Can't even begin to imagine being stuck inside that type of confined space for months at a time, hundreds of feet under water. Yikes ! Takes a special breed to tolerate that.
My late brother, a onetime submarine commander, Vietnam War, was the prog. mgr. for the Tomahawk testing, development, and successful launches from surface ships and submerged boats. As a civilian, I was fortunate to spend a day at sea on two different submarines. Submariners will say that they're somewhat insane to do what they do. Iron men in steel ships (windowless steel tubes.)
Hello there. I retired as a senior chief sonar tech. I also commissioned the Florida when I was a Chief and later commissioned the Nevada as a Senior Chief. Had fun doing it.
Can't believe it, this sub is nearly 20 years into service and still out-tech all others by nearly that much time! And the constant alertness the crews is demonstrating is just admirable! Respect from China!
I was stationed on the Florida for five and a half years back when she was an SSBN. It was really cool to see the spaces I haunted for so long in the video (though they only showed the door to the engine room spaces I spent most of my time in). I still have submarine dreams many nights even though I haven't set foot on her since 1999.
My husband's a nuke and I was lucky enough to be able to tour his last boat. I consider it to be one of the best experiences of my life! Unfortunately, the engine room, where he works, is the one place I could not go in.
I was on the USS Ohio back when it was an SSBN. Incredible experience that I look back on fondly. I didn’t appreciate it as a young man but I’d give anything to be able to do it now! Fair winds and following seas to all of my fellow shipmates who are out there defending our freedoms now.

Back in 1978 I was on the USS Albany CG 10 Gaeta Italy. She was the Flag ship of the 6th Fleet. I knew many submariners and the Mediterranean was the best duty in the Navy as far as I was concerned. Great job David
Life aboard a submarine has clearly become much more complex since I was a submariner during the 1960s. Nevertheless, it is basically the same: be silent, be invisible, and be deadly. I owe much of what I have become to that experience and although folks sometimes thank me for my service I feel it more appropriate to thank the Navy for what it gave me. Having served on one of the last diesel-electric boats from WWII I know how brave those men were. Though they were advanced technology for their time those subs were vulnerable to a myriad of things that threatened disaster at every moment. The crews that manned them were an interlocked human-machine and a brotherhood that defied the sea and worked together to accomplish their mission. Admiral Rickover's first-generation fleet, upon which I also served, and made in defiance of the Navy Brass, was a world-changing concept that made possible the end of the 'Cold War'. I would have to spend months aboard one of these modern Goliaths to really evaluate their worth and from what little I have seen I'm unsure the crew esprit is still the same. What the Navy has made public is insufficient to reach conclusions, but what I do see makes me uneasy. They seem more like aircraft carriers or cruisers in deportment. If so, that is a great loss and would lessen their effectiveness.
I was a Fast Attack Sonar Tech on a 637 stretch. Fast Attack Crews and Officers were tight but on Boomers not so much. The Florida is a Boomer and the crew acts it. Necessary I guess for Boomers where they have failed their Primary Mission of Deterrence if they actually ever have to shoot.
I fully agree. Life on a boat is truly unique and I would not give it up for any reason. I loved the fastboat life and tried the boomer life but it's not the same. I was on 4 fast boats and 1 boomer (not a GN) and the difference is night and day. A lot has changed since retiring 4+ years ago and of my twenty-year career, I miss the five deployments the most. Three patrols were nice (they made a movie about that boat, lol, Denzel Washington running in the compartment) but I'd do two more deployments before I'd ever considered doing another patrol. Just my two cents. As a sidenote, I understand the Navy trying to get word out about subs but it is 'the silent service' for a reason. ABC or ANY other news outlet should leave it be. Don't report on subs, what they are capable of, what they have on board or Seals for that matter. Want to learn about that job or profession? Go be one.
I was assigned to the sub tender at Kings Bay when they opened in the late 1970s. These men & women today deserve the utmost respect for what they do to keep all of us safe today. Shalom
@@heller4196 Those are cool too, don't get me wrong. But, travel under the oceans is just something that gives off a feeling of mystery, compared to creating technology beyond our mesosphere, where there isn't much mystery considering we know so much about our solar system. That being said, warfare in space > warfare under water.
@@deadmanperipherals there's no mystery in oceans, submarines are just used for Warfare, ISS was built with a united front, here we might be divided by nations, but out there we represent the whole Mankind and also the biggest mystery of all time is is there life outside the earth and where did life come on earth.
@@heller4196 Like I said previously, I'm not discrediting any of that. I just happen to find the deep sea more intriguing nowadays. All the aquatic life and ancient artifacts that still haven't been observed yet is jaw-dropping to me. That being said, I still love me some space.
Glenn Holland the Virginia are SSN subs, designed primarily as a naval attack vessel, used to sink enemy warships or launch cruise missiles from built in missile hatches, added for multi mission capability. The Ohio Class, the ship class of this sub, is an SSGN, whose primary mission is to launch missiles at enemy targets. Other members of the Ohio Class are SSBNs, and those are the bad boys with the nukes.their mission is as part of the us nuclear triad, consisting of sub launched weapons, bomber launched weapons, and ground based weapons.
Much Respect for our men and women who sacrifice there time so I can even watch this post and comment, Thank you Armed Forces, may our Lord bless each and every one of you!
I did 20 years on board submarines USS sargo SSN 583 USS hawkbill ssn 666 USS salt lake City and USS San Francisco. All fast attacks from 1974 to 1994 watching this gives me flashbacks All my respects to today's submarineer submarines once submarines twice...... Dive Dive 🇱🇷
My uncle was a nuke man on sub on the Mediterranean..... kept his AC in the house on 60 degrees year round after being under water for months at a time. RIP Uncle Tony ✊
This is something I have noticed when watching videos of US and British submarines: they aren’t modernised through their lifetime and continue using obsolete sensors until they are retired from service, unlike French submarines who are modernised through their lifetime.
Jonathan Mcaleece If they had enough space to grow plants and with the waste of the plants feed fish they could stay underwater for months or even years if necessary
I'd be willing to bet there is a plan to ration food onboard if need be (WAR!), to extend submerged time, they could probably stay under for 6 - 9 months if it's done right!
Admittedly the crew would have to love seafood, like really love it, but this submarine could stay submerged for a decade, theoretically, if you gave the crew the means to capture big fish like tuna or bass while submerged. *"Crew, this is your captain, operation 'Send the Seal Team to Harpoon Some Chow' will commence in 15 minutes!"*
I served aboard 2 fast attack submarines, 1 FBM submarine, 2 aircraft carriers, an instructor at 2 NPTU sites and as an instructer at Advanced Engiineering School NSS New London for over 20 years as a nuclear trained MMC(SS) USN Ret.
Thank you for your service.🇺🇸 Sounds like you have been through a lot. Rewarding though, right?👍 I hope for world peace, wisdom and for Love to conquer all,someday.
@Stephen Jenkins Typical american "basic geopolitical" BS talking: threats, sanctions, ultimates, bombing, killing, etc. For the last 25 years - 188 military interventions! And you wonder why all people around the world hate this drunk world gendarme?! nationalinterest.org/feature/why-america-addicted-foreign-interventions-23582
@Stephen Jenkins you are wrong. Russia has no interest in invading European countries (maybe some small part of the Soviet union) and they are not financially that strong. And Europe can defend itself if it wants to because it has the money and the technology. The French, Germans and brits can make more advanced weapons than Russia if they want to. So Russia being the monster trying to invade all countries of the world while us is the Saint fighting against them is the scene in only Hollywood.
@Stephen Jenkins if the French did ask for us to help in Libya then they were using this as an opportunity. The French already has a good military. The Europeans are more likely to spend on their people instead of arms. But if they need arms suddenly, they can make them as they have the money, technology and the manufacturing power. And as they are united now they don't have big threats. Especially western Europe. And they are already thinking about it. France and Germany are planning to build a unified force and hi tech weapons. Right now they are chilled because the US is there on their soil. But when the US leaves, they have to start their activities
I've been on the USS Florida.Back in 1993 she came to Ft. Lauderdale for the Navy Days Celebration Week. A friend and myself waited for 2 hours for this once in a life time chance - it was well worth the wait. What an incredible experience!
Currently halfway through my training at NNPTC, pretty cool to think that I’ll eventually be in one of those reactor rooms turning hot rock into propulsion
@Harris Witherden You are an idiot! The Military is NOT a place for social experimentation. Subs are war machines. Having women aboard detracts from its mission. And that mission it to kill the enemy and break his things. USS Narwhal (SSN-671), 7/83-1/88

I owe much of what I have become to that experience and although folks sometimes thank me for my service I feel it more appropriate to thank the Navy for what it gave me. Having served on one of the last diesel-electric boats from WWII I know how brave those men were. Though they were advanced technology for their time those subs were vulnerable to a myriad of things that threatened disaster at every moment. The crews that manned them were an interlocked human-machine and a brotherhood that defied the sea and worked together to accomplish their mission. Admiral Rickover's first-generation fleet, upon which I also served, and made in defiance of the Navy Brass, was a world-changing concept that made possible the end of the 'Cold War'. I would have to spend months aboard one of these modern Goliaths to really evaluate their worth and from what little I have seen I'm unsure the crew esprit is still the same. What the Navy has made public is insufficient to reach conclusions, but what I do see makes me uneasy. They seem more like aircraft carriers or cruisers in deportment. If so, that is a great loss and would lessen their effectiveness.
Dada Fan Much RESPECT ‼️
I was a Fast Attack Sonar Tech on a 637 stretch. Fast Attack Crews and Officers were tight but on Boomers not so much. The Florida is a Boomer and the crew acts it. Necessary I guess for Boomers where they have failed their Primary Mission of Deterrence if they actually ever have to shoot.
Ok boomer
I fully agree. Life on a boat is truly unique and I would not give it up for any reason. I loved the fastboat life and tried the boomer life but it's not the same. I was on 4 fast boats and 1 boomer (not a GN) and the difference is night and day. A lot has changed since retiring 4+ years ago and of my twenty-year career, I miss the five deployments the most. Three patrols were nice (they made a movie about that boat, lol, Denzel Washington running in the compartment) but I'd do two more deployments before I'd ever considered doing another patrol. Just my two cents.
As a sidenote, I understand the Navy trying to get word out about subs but it is 'the silent service' for a reason. ABC or ANY other news outlet should leave it be. Don't report on subs, what they are capable of, what they have on board or Seals for that matter. Want to learn about that job or profession? Go be one.
Thanks, guys
Our grandfathers played this game, and they played it well.
A game of chessh.
I know this book, your conclusions were all wrong Ryan....
LMAO! Now that's funny. Not exactly the line Captain Ramius spoke - and of course he was speaking of the Russkies - but close. Witty.
A war with no battles, just casualties...
Anymore tea anyone?
I was assigned to the sub tender at Kings Bay when they opened in the late 1970s. These men & women today deserve the utmost respect for what they do to keep all of us safe today. Shalom
Subs are the coolest thing mankind has ever made imo.
International Space Station: Cool
@@heller4196 Those are cool too, don't get me wrong. But, travel under the oceans is just something that gives off a feeling of mystery, compared to creating technology beyond our mesosphere, where there isn't much mystery considering we know so much about our solar system. That being said, warfare in space > warfare under water.
@@deadmanperipherals there's no mystery in oceans, submarines are just used for Warfare, ISS was built with a united front, here we might be divided by nations, but out there we represent the whole Mankind and also the biggest mystery of all time is is there life outside the earth and where did life come on earth.
@@heller4196 Like I said previously, I'm not discrediting any of that. I just happen to find the deep sea more intriguing nowadays. All the aquatic life and ancient artifacts that still haven't been observed yet is jaw-dropping to me. That being said, I still love me some space.
I think Aircraft Carrier are more awesome.
Rip for those people that had to clean and scrub the sub on their off time for the TV time.

used to be a nuclear missile under the hatch
Are you channeling "Key & Peele - Black Ice"? LOL ;)
God Bless that crew and all who serve 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video. I wasn't medically fit to be in the military so this is the next best thing
The amount of work put into building something so complex and huge is mind boggling
I know Icould have Never Do what these young Men and Women do, much Respect and Prayers for them One and All
I always take a peek when THE NAVY is WILLING to show off their submarines...AWESOME!!!
factinator33 they usually only show off when something newer and better is already taking the place of tech they showing off...USS VIRGINIA class
Glenn Holland the Virginia are SSN subs, designed primarily as a naval attack vessel, used to sink enemy warships or launch cruise missiles from built in missile hatches, added for multi mission capability. The Ohio Class, the ship class of this sub, is an SSGN, whose primary mission is to launch missiles at enemy targets. Other members of the Ohio Class are SSBNs, and those are the bad boys with the nukes.their mission is as part of the us nuclear triad, consisting of sub launched weapons, bomber launched weapons, and ground based weapons.
@@spikethompson2000 thanks bro
Much Respect for our men and women who sacrifice there time so I can even watch this post and comment, Thank you Armed Forces, may our Lord bless each and every one of you!
Mr. Johnston is good to see that you sir understand the importance of why these men and women do what they do.
@@dspates51 Thank you Mr. Spates Our Heroes deserve so much more then they get, hope it changes soon!
"There's not a day when we are not watching the every single day"
We are going to miss these 4 SSGN's in a few years when their service life is over. They are the most useful Subs we have made in a long time.
What keeps these guys from running down the aisles hollering 'let me out". I could never be a submariner but I do admire them with the utmost respect.
A lot of mental screening
I did 20 years on board submarines USS sargo SSN 583 USS hawkbill ssn 666 USS salt lake City and USS San Francisco. All fast attacks from 1974 to 1994 watching this gives me flashbacks All my respects to today's submarineer submarines once submarines twice...... Dive Dive 🇱🇷
"I think they would like to watch us." they way he said that. 👍 3:26
Sucks when you realize you've been underestimating someone.
Mad respect for submariners. I just couldn't live like that.
Imagine how many times they hit their heads
No don't feel bad there all immature assholes
Now this looks like an actual submarine, I feel bad for the passengers on the Oceangate sub, they didn't stand a chance
OMG!!!! The A-Gang LCPO!!!! I actually served with him when I was in the US Navy. That is so awesome to see he is still in and a Chief now.
My uncle was a nuke man on sub on the Mediterranean..... kept his AC in the house on 60 degrees year round after being under water for months at a time.
RIP Uncle Tony ✊
Funny story. My dad was also in a sub and also kept the ac on the lowest available.
You’re uncle was a mercenary.
Trevor Paul what is your issue? What happened to you?
Trevor Paul And you’re a piece of shit. Stop sitting on pinecones maybe it’ll make you less grumpy

Great report ABC.
"Theres not a day where were not watching them every single day"
I caught it too. I laughed
I think they’d like to watch us cracked me up
Needs some time away from the boat....
Hey hey.
This is something I have noticed when watching videos of US and British submarines: they aren’t modernised through their lifetime and continue using obsolete sensors until they are retired from service, unlike French submarines who are modernised through their lifetime.
It’s hard to imagine that the only thing that stops her from surfacing is food for the crew.
Jonathan Mcaleece If they had enough space to grow plants and with the waste of the plants feed fish they could stay underwater for months or even years if necessary
I'd be willing to bet there is a plan to ration food onboard if need be (WAR!), to extend submerged time, they could probably stay under for 6 - 9 months if it's done right!
Nah you always will need ass wipe
Wonder if they could get bidets on the toilets.
Admittedly the crew would have to love seafood, like really love it, but this submarine could stay submerged for a decade, theoretically, if you gave the crew the means to capture big fish like tuna or bass while submerged. *"Crew, this is your captain, operation 'Send the Seal Team to Harpoon Some Chow' will commence in 15 minutes!"*
3:02 Didn't know Jeff Bezos spends his free time in a submarine
Thought that too
No hes saitama
Respect from this Marine for the Silent Service.
"Hey Ryan - some things in here don't react well to bullets." Seriously. Thanks to all who serve to keep us safe!
It's actually more roomy than I had imagined.
Old "Boomer" like the USS Kamehameha is better.
Truly incredible technology

I give these guy the up most respect .A lot of heart because I wouldn’t do this type of job. Blessings troops.
Incredible. God bless America💪🏽
Deepest respect for the man and women working on that sofisticated submarine.
I served aboard 2 fast attack submarines, 1 FBM submarine, 2 aircraft carriers, an instructor at 2 NPTU sites and as an instructer at Advanced Engiineering School NSS New London for over 20 years as a nuclear trained MMC(SS) USN Ret.
Thank you for your service.🇺🇸 Sounds like you have been through a lot. Rewarding though, right?👍 I hope for world peace, wisdom and for Love to conquer all,someday.
This video wasn’t long enough!

Russia russia russia
Threat threat threat
YOU GET THE MESSAGE
@Stephen Jenkins Russia shot a missile at ISIS and it scared America, because Americans fund ISIS.
@Stephen Jenkins Typical american "basic geopolitical" BS talking: threats, sanctions, ultimates, bombing, killing, etc. For the last 25 years - 188 military interventions! And you wonder why all people around the world hate this drunk world gendarme?!
nationalinterest.org/feature/why-america-addicted-foreign-interventions-23582
Ever joke on these killers?
@Stephen Jenkins you are wrong. Russia has no interest in invading European countries (maybe some small part of the Soviet union) and they are not financially that strong. And Europe can defend itself if it wants to because it has the money and the technology. The French, Germans and brits can make more advanced weapons than Russia if they want to. So Russia being the monster trying to invade all countries of the world while us is the Saint fighting against them is the scene in only Hollywood.
@Stephen Jenkins if the French did ask for us to help in Libya then they were using this as an opportunity. The French already has a good military. The Europeans are more likely to spend on their people instead of arms. But if they need arms suddenly, they can make them as they have the money, technology and the manufacturing power. And as they are united now they don't have big threats. Especially western Europe. And they are already thinking about it. France and Germany are planning to build a unified force and hi tech weapons. Right now they are chilled because the US is there on their soil. But when the US leaves, they have to start their activities
Thanks for keeping peace of the world
We love you boys! Proud of you all, boys and girls, in the Navy.
That's not a submarine. That's an underwater freedom tube.

Rommel you magnificent bastard I READ YOUR BOOK!
I've been on the USS Florida.Back in 1993 she came to Ft. Lauderdale for the Navy Days Celebration Week. A friend and myself waited for 2 hours for this once in a life time chance - it was well worth the wait. What an incredible experience!
Currently halfway through my training at NNPTC, pretty cool to think that I’ll eventually be in one of those reactor rooms turning hot rock into propulsion
And you'll have to learn not to talk about it.
Loose lips sink ships.
I was a nuke in the 70s. (ELT). Here’s a tip to you and your buddies. Wear ear protection, we didn’t have any back in the day.
Thank you for serving. Best Navy on earth.
I never thought they would let women on subs with men!
Such tight spaces everyone shares everything, crazy!
@Harris Witherden You are an idiot! The Military is NOT a place for social experimentation. Subs are war machines. Having women aboard detracts from its mission. And that mission it to kill the enemy and break his things.
