Served aboard the Patrick Henry during the Vietnam conflict. I could never explain life on a boomer to my friends and family. I still carry a lot of baggage from my service! I was young and dumb and you know the rest of that one. They didn’t have a parade for us but we rode off into history my brothers! May God keep our sub sailor’s safe!! Bless all of our brothers in arms.
I served on the USS Georgia, and with a few of the guys featured in this film, and I was there also. Great bunch of people to spend months underwater with. Lost my mom, while I was on patrol, and took a few days to get where I could get off the sub. Serving with these great men helped me thru it.
Great documentary 👍👍... Okay I was "Flying Navy" during the Vietnam War.. my hat's off to the "Dolphins/Bubble Heads" aboard those Submarines for sure. Personally I like being on the flight deck LOL!... Oh yeah it's dangerous as hell on an aircraft carrier but at least you get to see some daylight!😆.. 💪✌️❤️🩹🇺🇸🐬🤿
Maybe they were comparing it to the amount of room & extra amenities on board a Russian Sub... aka the one that had a saltwater pool, sauna, smokers lounge, Weights room, etc... However they were definitely not complaining about the safety of an American Sub vs the lack of saftey on Russian Sub or heck WWII Subs... or way back to the days of 🐢 The Turtle & Subs before & after the Turtles time.
Part a Los Angeles class inside a Ohio class sub if you too the sail off and just had the Ohio class as a shell. Served on 3 Ohio class subs myself. My brother served on the Phoenix. Besides the Nautilus, his boat was the first one I went on board. He told me the Ohio class boats werent much bigger than the Los Angeles class. Once I got to my first boat, the Kentucky, I called my brother and asked him if he was crazy.
As a land lubber the world of submariners is fascinating to me, I am wondering why you think the intro spoils this video?. From a former RAF ground engineer. 😀😀👍🇬🇧🏴
That young boy at 5:47 talking about his feelings regarding his father's deployments and how he feels when he leaves, how he feels when he returns, was rather touching to me. He articulated his feelings of love for his father in a way which I really empathized with.
As a submarine vet myself, seeing the submariners saying goodbye to their families and loved ones at 39:35, I felt every hug and kiss in those 2 minutes and 30 seconds of footage. I did 18 patrols on 3 SSBNs and none of them got any easier saying good bye to my family. The hardest one was on my second boat 3rd patrol my 4 month old son was in the back seat and all I could do was cry over knowing how much I was going to miss him. I was lucky enough to be home for both of my boys births.
I've always been fasinated my these machines, ever since my uncle told me stories when he served on the HMCS Onondoga, an oberon class diesel boat in the Royal Canadian Navy back in the early 70s. God Bless all submariners.
Two of my cousins were submariners, reactor personnel to be exact. They pronounce "submariner" with the "marine" part as you would pronounce "marine" as in Mqarine Corps. They get on me because I pronounce it the British way as in "submariner" with the "mariner" part as in "The Ancient Mariner", thanks to our grandfather and their uncle, my father--our grandfather, my father and myself were all born in Scotland
Man, I watched this so many times as a kid. Now I'm older than most of the guys were when they filmed it. The things they say mean a lot more, hearing them now. Hope they're doing alright, all of them.
I was single when I served. It was hard to date because of the lifestyle. It takes a special kind of woman to put up with it married or single. I was a radioman so I got to hand out the “Grams”. You were the most popular guy on the boat at that time. Being single, I never got Family Grams because I never wanted them. I told my family to never send them because once the excitement wore off from getting them it was almost more depressing after. Once you get in a routine on a sub, the time flies. It’s even easier when your job doesn’t require any situational awareness to the world around you. You just go about your business. Sleep, eat, work…rinse and repeat. If you worked in communications or navigation it was a lot harder to sever your attachment to the outside world. Sports scores were a big deal as well. We would receive sometimes daily or weekly updates on sporting events. I would post those results in crews mess and everyone on board would stop by to check on their favorite team.
At time 30, The Senior Chief Radioman talking about Family Grams is a friend of mine and we served together! I never knew he was in a video! RMCS(SS), USN, Retired
i tested the ship control system on the Virginia class subs. There is no longer a diving wheel as shown in the beginning of this video. It is touch screen basically. enter a depth and heading and away you go
Much admiration and respect. Everything I've ever seen about Submarines, and those who serve on them is impressive. I'm not sure how they find brilliant people that have that level of courage, but I'm sure glad they exist.
Well the Navy very very closely "screens" and psychologically examines all prospects carefully before they allow one to become submarine sailor. 💪✌️❤️🩹🇺🇸
Mostly it was a matter of "hey, you can either live with 3000 people on hot carrier and when in a 110 degree engine room, or live with 100 people in a 90 degree engine room for hazard duty pay."
this was a fantastic series for anyone who has any interest in submarines i loved it and still watch it now and again love it i grew up during the cold war and was an amazeing period in history
I remember when my command help with this movie, that was my CO when of SubTraFac helped in it's production. I served on the USS Memphis SSN 691 starting back in 1979 and the USS Tautog out of Pearl afterwards.
I was on an American Submarine and we didn't have a pool or a sauna or a workout room (there was a punching bag and a treadmill in the lowest level of the missile compartment). I never used them. I worked in the engine room, where the temperature was 110 degrees, and we were always running up and down ladders, and putting on steam suits, and running here and there, to fight pretend fires, and stop pretend floods, five days a week. No drills on Saturday and Sunday. Contrary to popular belief, the food was not the best. There was limited space and all the fresh produce was gone pretty quick. Most of what we ate came out of cans. The best food was on Sub Tenders, which followed the sub and supplied all the stuff the submarines needed to keep going. Sub Tenders had everything, from spare parts and maintenance equipment, to sirloin steaks and hotdogs, every day! Your choice.
My mistake, I thought submariners had the best food. Sub Tenders best food? Makes sense. That is the ship I would sign up for. I heard the Navy has the best technical training of the services. Other than that, the Air Force has good training and a more normal life.
SSN637, About half the time we would tie-up to the Fulton (Sub Tender) across from the Sub Base in Groton. I was standing a Mid-watch Topside, scared the shit out of me when 3 or 4 guys on the Fulton tossed their coffee mugs down hitting Topside near me. Defiantly awake the rest of my watch. That's what I remember about the Tender.
@@Dabbel2 Defiantly? (in a manner that shows open resistance or bold disobedience) Not definitely? (Without doubt ) lol, nobody speaks english, well, that`s not true, nobody WRITES english. I thought that was more for the younger generation.. I m a pedantic asshole btw, so feel free to ignore my implied correction.
Having served in subs from 1963 to 1969 I thoroughly enjoyed this video. In my opinion you did a great job capturing the life of a submariner. Well Done!
The wind blowing through the rigging of a sailboat, over a couple of years builds enough energy, it discharges through the metallic components in contact with ocean water, creating electrolysis. It can eat almost anything. The stuff you learn over time living on the ocean is endless. I love it. 🤙☀️😎💛
@@philwalton6694 thank you for your question. Yet, if i have to explain it to you? I'm probably not 'talkin' to you my brother. That said, in the very beginning of video, it's stated how much metal, nuclear material, electric components and energy, and how corrosive saltwater is... my point, was to that. *to share a bit more knowledge.* Your welcome, have a great day! 🤷♂️😎🙏💛
My cousins who were submariners pronounce it with Marine as in Marine Corps. Due to our grandfather, their uncle, my father and myself all being born in Scotland, my father and I pronounce it 9:52. They give my father and myself crap for it
Great respect to these young men. I have some degree of claustrophobia . I am even abit panicky when I'm on a train going through a tunnel. These young men, are certainly well trained and courageous.
10 patrols...I lost my family, Destroyed my health, 60 years old have been treated for depression for 20 years ( low light ) (sleep/wake cycle) etc. It sucks but I volunteered for it and I would do it again.
I have to admire submariners. I know I couldn't do it, being cooped up like that for days, weeks, months. A surface ship ok. Tip of the hat to you guys, hope I never hear of another loss from any country's submarine.
it's a reminder of the sacrifice these men make to keep the country and the free world safe.it takes balls to go through what they go through.the sea is a very unforgiving and dangerous place.i salute them for that!.⚓🇺🇸
Was a boomer sailor in the US navy back in the 70's. When I heard of the Argentinean boat, I was devastated. Knew within one day that that boat wasn't coming back. Horrible for all involved.
Yes I know that I could. You missed the point!! After a few days everyone becomes your brother!! That's how the USA trains our boys. In the end. I love my family. But my country needs me. And my friends will protect me!! At all cost.
I did as well and also bought the DVD set from eBay. That was a pretty cool few days when they were on the boat filming for this show (I was on the Georgia). Just found out it was on youtube.
35:30 "I rather endorse that!" I agree with this man. I served during Desert Storm and I found that the last thing you want during war is for people to point your feelings out to you and analyze them. I'm afraid that philosophy may have been forcibly stripped from our current day military.
Back when I was 20 yrs.,my roommate's boyfriend spent time in a sub. When he came back after wks. gone, she would always want me to tag along, go out to eat with them. But I knew it was time to get lost. 😉
Very deep respect to our US Navy Submariners!!! Their job is not sane or safe too. I have to admit honestly. My own job was not very sane or safe for any human being to undertake to voluntarily do in military service. Their job is very important indeed. Go Navy!!!
Yeah, I thought so. Doesn't that cigar chomping Skipper say something like, "If I receive an order from the command structure to launch, I assure you those missiles WILL fly." There was steel in his voice. Chilling.
Wow, did that bring back memories. I was never a submariner but was a mechanic at Norfolk Naval Shipyard and worked almost exclusively on Los Angeles class subs. The video just can't show you how cramped everything is. I enjoyed working on them but would NOT want to live on one.
The title says, 1 of 4. Were the other three uploaded somewhere on RUclips? I'd love to see them again. These 80s and 90s military docs, something about them, I just love.
One day I’m trying to get my son , Aiman to join & study @ the Russian Naval Academy - submarines until he was qualified to service as a crew of submarine !
Wait, what? I served in submarines and ONLY NOW they're saying it wasn't "inherently safe"?! I guess that's because my sub had three interior watertight doors. That must be it. {ROFL}
Good. Very good & it's American too surprisingly. Not drenched in musak also which makes a welcome change. Don't fancy that Latvian sub oh no! Typhoon cor' sauna, fitness room, bird cage, swim pool & weirdly an aquarium with fish, obviously! Looking fwd to other parts. Thanks guys.

Love the boomer guys talking about how cramped it was onboard. They were in a Cadillac RV compared to a fast attack.
Amen. SSN - 653.
Or you could think about WW1 "pig boats"..........
Maybe they were comparing it to the amount of room & extra amenities on board a Russian Sub... aka the one that had a saltwater pool, sauna, smokers lounge, Weights room, etc... However they were definitely not complaining about the safety of an American Sub vs the lack of saftey on Russian Sub or heck WWII Subs... or way back to the days of 🐢 The Turtle & Subs before & after the Turtles time.
Toured a mothballed fleet boat in the 1960’s. Served on USS Flasher SSN 613, 1977-81. But yeah, an Ohio class SSBN looks huge inside
Part a Los Angeles class inside a Ohio class sub if you too the sail off and just had the Ohio class as a shell. Served on 3 Ohio class subs myself. My brother served on the Phoenix.

I paused right after that part, and looked for a comment about it. Really sad and touching
After 50 years I still can’t tell people what happened on a sub, nor would they understand That’s fine those who were there understand
That opening definition of a submarine is GOLD!

Shout out to my buddy ETRC Lance Sergent (SS), USN. He's given over 16 years to the silent service. Good man. Submariners are BRAVE.
Watched and recorded this series when1st aired,,YEARS ago. Brilliant!!
I have watched this probably 10 times, always enjoy it .

To answer the opening question-
A submarine is long, hard, and full of seamen
Dead joke
Wasn't sure where the opening statement was going, but this comment entered my mind.
To the children of the submariners. Your fathers are OUR heroes, be very proud of them
Are you talking to the children at home or are you talking to the children the submariners fathered with hookers in every port?
@@MrCallingoccupants You're a classy moron, aren't you?
My father's in this. You can see him at 23:17, and I, much like my father became a submariner.
@@SaltiDawg2008 He's telling the truth!! your heros are whore mongers
you talk out your arse mate.
"You work inside the machine". How true.
That was one of the better sub docs I have seen. Thanks for posting!!!

Angles and dangles. Afterward the Captain: Now stow the ship for sea!

Were any of the Submariners ever stationed in Pascagoula, MS at Ingalls Shipbuilding?
Seeing the actual building,launch, commisioning,and making it my home for 3 years is something I wouldn't trade for anything.SSN 679.
USS SILVERSIDES.
You didn't have to trade. Our guys used to put on "SILVERSIDES" ball caps and steal your parts off Pier 22. Love, USS Bergall, SSN-667.
I always wanted to build my own submarine.
You gotta respect sub sailors ! A great video !
Rear Admiral Salvador. You seem to be more in the know than me m8!
the floating bridge footage at the end was cool. Does anyone know which direction to look for subs when crossing that bridge?
It depends what side of the bridge your standing on...
Down.
I respect all Submariners. the job is amazing.
Good job guys
Lol at 20:40, that's my Pops going through the door from Fwd crews berthing to take a piss.
Salute!!!
19:30 opening a rack curtain like is an easy way to get a black eye
this is so fascinating like the part about why they all repeat the orders
Learned the hard way, in the "stone age" of subs, worldwide. One mistake, EVERYBODY dies.
🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸. Submariners are a different breed. Nothing but respect! Had to be surreal at times, no matter what Navy you are serving in.
Two types of ships, subs and targets!

Good luck to every submariner
Miss it...
Very emotional
And don't you dare scram that reactor, esp during angles and dangles, RO! Made 40 years ago feel like yesterday.
RO, aye.
Submarines are the closest the average person gets to flying in space
The first part of this episode is missing, showing the mock launch of a nuclear missile.
Yeah, I thought so. Doesn't that cigar chomping Skipper say something like, "If I receive an order from the command structure to launch, I assure you those missiles WILL fly." There was steel in his voice. Chilling.
Wow, did that bring back memories. I was never a submariner but was a mechanic at Norfolk Naval Shipyard and worked almost exclusively on Los Angeles class subs. The video just can't show you how cramped everything is. I enjoyed working on them but would NOT want to live on one.
My oldest brother was a submariner. He served aboard the USS Rock, SSR-274. One of the last diesel-electric boats, in the U.S. Navy service.
I'd hate to be on a sub called, the rock!!!!
The fast attack life is a single man’s game.
Thats hard to watch little boy miss his Daddy. We sacrifice in life sooooo much.

"Not inherently safe." LOL ...

If anything big needs to be done like that, they just cut the boat in half.
stuff like that goes to dry dock, the hatch is only for underway prep
WOW that comms guy needs help FAST !!! " MAIL CALL"

Thank you for your service and protection
One day I’m trying to get my son , Aiman to join & study @ the Russian Naval Academy - submarines until he was qualified to service as a crew of submarine !
Question? Are all these boxes they're bringing on board checked for explosives?
Wait, what? I served in submarines and ONLY NOW they're saying it wasn't "inherently safe"?! I guess that's because my sub had three interior watertight doors. That must be it. {ROFL}
Every submariner I know is nuts. Glad to know ya.
Good. Very good & it's American too surprisingly. Not drenched in musak also which makes a welcome change. Don't fancy that Latvian sub oh no! Typhoon cor' sauna, fitness room, bird cage, swim pool & weirdly an aquarium with fish, obviously! Looking fwd to other parts. Thanks guys.
