As a person who spent the latter part of the the 90s working 3rd shift... I have seen many infomercials, "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease." You have a duty as a public individual to not mislead your viewers. And the greatest way to prevent this is integrity. You talk about the Mess Attendants taking care of the commanding officers clothes and etc. The honor and trust it takes for that is immense.
As a lowly BESS student. We have been informed by instructors and the crew of the Indiana, that hot racking is still very much in use and will most definitely happen to us.

I’ve got a friend from high school who ran a messes for the U.S. Navy for 25 years. She’s about to have her retirement ceremony in a couple of months and she doesn’t think it’s that big a deal. I told her she’s crazy; running a mess for a ship like that, and she was the boss lady, is an accomplishment that few can even understand. None of it is easy and every meal is important.
My grandfather sailed on the old S-Boats, which were built in the early 1920s. He was always amazed by how "luxurious" modern submarines were. His bunks were just hammocks between racked up torpedos along the main walkway, and it was three to a hammock.
Retired Fire Marshal here. Industrial dryers can and do start fires, I have seen items removed, placed in baskets, left on a countertop, and an hour later start smoldering, all caught on video....
Almost every underway (and I had a lot of them), we would have a dryer fire at some point, because some numbskull didn't clean out the lint filter properly..
US submarines don't use a dryer, this is absolutely false and irresponsible. All clothing it put out to dry on a line right outside the sail. For upcoming Chinese submariners gleaning info from this channel, remove your clothing dryers before deployments. This will save space and weight.
I'm curious how they store bananas on a sub? As they emit ethylene which destroys other foods how do they keep them from ruining the other perishables?
One hundred percent correct, we had smoke in the laundry room once. That'll get your heart started. Not mentioned but critical evolution, the trash room. So much fun reminiscing, I wasn't smiling then but I am now. Do more of this if possible.
Old Diesel Oberon class in the RAN had no showers. Wet wipes for underarms & groins...you can imagine the smell after a few weeks at sea... Hotbunking was also common for sea riders & some lower ranks.
German U boats were called "Schweineboots" or "Pig Boat" because they had no provision for bating or laundry on them and the sailors would come back absolutely filthy
I did a tour of the Oberon at the RAN museum, it was not too dissimilar to the tour of the Endeavour next door in principle. Cramped and lots of things to bang your head on. I didn't realise there was no shower at all though, I guess you wouldn't notice the aroma being cooped up in it all the time.
@@alphgeek You're right you get 'immune' to the smell when you're part of it, but when you're berthing party for a boat that has had a long trip away, lets just say 'hits you in the face' when they open the hatches😆

@@alphgeek Mostly high volume commercial washing. But they have a line for marine applications, and within that they supply machines to the Navy and Coast Guard. Nowhere on their site do they talk about submarines though. Really want to know what they do to quiet them down.
Got to BESS in March of 1975. Retired june of 1997. MMC/SS AGANG. 6 submarines, instructed BESS in mid 80's. NSSF twice. One hell of a ride. Enjoy the ride young Squid. Get those Dolphins and finally become a brother of the Phin. Fair winds and following seas .
Maintenance, qualifications, training, drills, college courses, burn a flick (watch movies), sleep if you're lucky...not a whole lot of "free" time per se, at least when I was in and on an 18-hour day cycle...they've since shifted to a 24 hour cycle, with 8 hour watches, so I can't speak for the most current means of "downtime"
I believe the sleeping accommodations are sometimes referred to "jack racks" for a reason. Not that there's a lot of free time for this expression of personal entertainment, but I have been informed from former active duty submariners that they would witness the occasional rhythmic ruffling of the blue curtain from a nearby bunk. In some circles, the rack curtains have acquired their own nickname as "splash guards".
Sub fleet: "We have michelin star chefs making gourmet food to keep up morale." Surface fleet: "You know that shipment of food that the prison rejected as unfit for human consumption? Yeah we'll be taking that."
LOL! Actually, the best chow I ever had was on USS America when we were deployed to the North Arabian Sea. Our skipper, Captain “Snuffy” Smith, made sure we were taken care of.
In the Seawolf’s lower level head, when using the inboard commode, it was common courtesy to announce “Flushing” when flushing because it blow your backwash up the outboard commode. The most advanced submarine ever built, indeed…
« Most advanced submarine ever built IN THE US NAVY », at the time. Other countries already had more advanced subs. Americans tend to think that when their outlets say « most advanced » it means in the world, but it truly only means in the USA. There are so many different categories were the USA claim to be the most advanced, but aren’t, that people in the USA tend to forget there is a world outside the USA.
@@brunol-p_g8800 These days, the most advanced military tech is coming from American companies and American R&D. We share that info with our allies to help them build high-tech stuff. China and Russia are getting close but in terms of pure technology, nobody's beating the US right now. Manufacturing is where we struggle :/
Having written Bearthing Bills on two VA class boats, I can say with authority that we absolutely do not have enough racks for everyone. With 6 racks in the Torpedo Room our normal number of Hotrackers was usually between 24-36 hotrackers. I have seen as many as 80 and as few as 12.
I touched pretty much everything but I probably wasn't supposed to. The only time I was concerned was when I had to clean directly under the reactor. But the rad level was very low, amazingly. We had lots of fires. We had an O2 candle catch fire. Nice bright yellow fire, and if you don't use the right extinguisher, you just blow the flames around as I found out.
I have Spend sometime on french ssbn and ssn (18 years). We have 2 cooks which lake à very good meal, May be to rich, and à Baker which make everyday fresh bread and parties. The main difference is that onboard ssn there is à lot of freezer-dried végétale and and fruit due to lack of place. That not à problem on ssbn.
Yes! I really wanted a video like this! Edit: SmarterEveryDay has, as part of a series in submarines, how to use a submarine toilet. I'm glad I was just a knucledragger because I know I would've fucked it up somehow.
Chief Jive, this brings back memories being onboard the submarine tender, tending to you guys needs back in the day. Many a day being voluntold to help out on pier duty bring food onboard the subs alongside of my ship, not to mention doing sheet metal & other mechanical repairs inside the sub too, and I too know about those old toilets, the 637's had them. I think in part 2 of this, you let them know about the old school "bug-juice", the WIFCOM, when you could smoke onboard the sub, and how to remove the XO's door before going underway...LOL (sincerely HT1 Thomas retired)
I like how you say the guy is a cardiologist, and yet he somehow has the knowledge of a nutritionist, a gastroenterology professor and a biochemist. This " one simple thing" medical stuff is just not real. It is a way to get you to buy a supplement or subscribe to advice. You know , get in my funnel. It saddens me to see you advertizing such unproven and frankly quack doctors and their "miracle cures"
My Dad served in the Navy on two aircraft carriers back during the Vietnam war. Growing up, we always had a squeegee in the shower at home. He'd also joke about 3 minute showers, too.
My wife wasn't in the navy but she introduced me to the squeegee. You know it's a good idea when wives start doing it 😂. She also taught me to hang my socks in pairs, makes it easier to take them down.
This was a really great video. The sub-focused content has been amazing lately. That being said, you really do need to vet your sponsors better. Promoting snake oil is unbecoming of you and could undermine your credibility.
Can female sailor do 3 min showers? I don't think they want to shave their heads. I have only been to surface ships, and the females clearly take shower more then 3 mins......
I think the sleeping rack stuff, is still not resolved. As I was just touring one of your boats(what, when og where is not relevant) But people still have to share rack, even if you have racks "everywhere" in the boat. As the crew was still stating it was not a great thing to share the bed.
Not Aaron, clearly, BUUUT was on subs: short answer it depends...if you were allowed to know the location of the boat, then yeah, there was probably some form of festivity (depending on the command too); if the location of the boat was only known by a small handful of folks (and every one of them was actively on said boat) then probably not, at least as far as doing the ceremony EXACTLY as crossing the equator or PM happened.
The MS cooking is not the same as the on duty Wardroom attendant that takes care of the officers and their laundry. Whenever they are blowing the san tanks DO NOT open the Ball Valve. You will have a very bad day.
Lived aboard multiple subs (LA/Virginia class) for a few years, only piece of media I’ve ever watched that will get you in the mindset of living on a sub is the movie “The Lighthouse” about two whickeys stuck on an island for weeks. Nothing else comes close to
One of the "trick" qual questions for a 688-Class was "How many watertight doors are installed on the submarine?" The respondent had to include the door of the washing-machine...................... At least on my boats..... We were keeping it real
I wonder how long it takes to get used to not seeing daylight for SO long......... I can see how it makes a LOT of sense that food has a huge impact on morale.
I can only give my first-hand experience, but what I noticed on my 11 or so underways, is that it seems fine fairly quick once the hatches close, but something happens at about week 3 (plus or minus a couple days). It's then that we had what was referred to as "hate week", where everyone, from the nubliest nub (which is New Underway Buddy) to the CO is just *GRUMPY* at everything. Which honestly is about the time the cooks whip out something pretty amazing, and then we just fell into the groove, level heads returned, and we just did the job.
@@xbubblehead I read somewhere that submariners coming ashore from a long patrol are not allowed to drive a car for a couple of days, because that can't judge distances beyond a couple of meters anymore. Is that true?
Back in 2007, we had a bad drought in Alabama and had to post water restrictions. I started taking Navy showers where possible, and have kept the practice; I just don't like to waste time (and water) on long showers. QUESTION: Do cooks use cruise menus where meals are planned before deployment? And if so, how much flexibility do the cooks have to innovate for variety?
I think that the art of silently pumping poo at depth is a closely held secret of the U.S. Navy. It's probably very interesting on an engineering level, but I don't need to know, so I don't get to know. But now I'm very curious, and I'll never know because I'm too old to enlist.
For a somewhat more detailed look at life aboard a US sub, the channel Smarter Every Day has a series of videos where he got film aboard a sub during an operations in the Arctic. He got a look all over the boat an talked several of the crew, both officers and enlisted. He even made the XO incommutable when he wa able to work out the match for somehting (I forget what) that was supposed to be classified.
A cardiologist is not a surgeon. Two completely different pathways. Nobody in the medical field would make that error. It’s not trivial. Don’t know this ‘doctor’ but clearly he doesn’t pay attention to his advertising.
How could 1 or 2 cooks possibly prepare that many meals every 6 hours from scratch while washing dishes and cleaning up? There’s really only 1 guy who does that all day before the mid rats guy comes for 1 meal?
I subscribed to your channel because I felt your naval background and experiences gave credibility to your content. However, seeing that you have very different criteria for evaluating the validity of information you endorse than I do, seriously damages that credibility with me. You have every right to accept sponsorship from whomever you choose. But this is one now former subscriber who can no longer assume that your content is credible so I am no longer interested.
What I don't get but really interested to find out. Is whats the work week like. I mean you don't do a 40 hr week 9 till 5. Are you days like 12 hrs on / off, do you work 7 days week when underway.
Disappointed to see you promoting the latest "quick fix for everything" food fad. "its so bad and in all the health foods but you can quickly and easily cure yourself at home" stinks of nonsense im surprised you let it through.
I don't know how you bubbleheads do it; must be made of sterner and stranger stuff. Those industrial dryers are a nightmare to maintain. Exposed elements, sharp edges and enough lint to make a human sized nest.
Could you do something to more clearly separate your ad from the main video? You spoke, did your intro, and gave the entire ad in the exact same tone of voice as your normal content. It took about 40 seconds to realize you were doing an ad.
7:20 What happens if you suddenly get sonar contact while the tumble dryer is going? Mine is definitely not quiet and won't turn off at a moments notice.
Do subs have a jail or lock up? What do you do if a sailor loses it, or commits a crime? Also do they separate females from male sleeping quarters etc?
HAha, I remember my dad, who is a Dutch submarine veteran, telling me about the "vented poop tank" and how they used pressurized air to dump it overboard. I don't know if this was different for you guys, but on his boat they had to get the air out out of the tank before they could start filling it again. The way they did that was to simply vent it back into the boat. They did have filters to make sure no particles and pathogens would enter the sub, but it didn't quite get rid of the smell :)

@@xbubblehead I read somewhere that submariners coming ashore from a long patrol are not allowed to drive a car for a couple of days, because that can't judge distances beyond a couple of meters anymore. Is that true?
@@SolarWebsite Never heard that one before.
@@xbubblehead Could be wrong of course. I don't believe everything I read on the internet. In fact, I believe very little I read on the internet 😁
Navy definitely might be adding vitamin-d doses to submariners diet
Back in 2007, we had a bad drought in Alabama and had to post water restrictions. I started taking Navy showers where possible, and have kept the practice; I just don't like to waste time (and water) on long showers.
QUESTION: Do cooks use cruise menus where meals are planned before deployment? And if so, how much flexibility do the cooks have to innovate for variety?
if there smoking there cooking and when there burnt there done... The Laundry Queen's last word when the XO's Khaki's got toasted.
That is a name I have not heard in a long time. 😂
Can you imagine what its like to have a outbreak of food poisoning on a sub?
Navy got that Serious Gourmet Chow 😉
Imagine they go on silent running the guy presses that red button to stop the laundry lol 😂
Hello Mr. Aaron
I'm a minister of the CCP
Would you be willing to visit Beijing and present a lecture about the Keeps sound deadening technology ?
I think that the art of silently pumping poo at depth is a closely held secret of the U.S. Navy. It's probably very interesting on an engineering level, but I don't need to know, so I don't get to know. But now I'm very curious, and I'll never know because I'm too old to enlist.
For a somewhat more detailed look at life aboard a US sub, the channel Smarter Every Day has a series of videos where he got film aboard a sub during an operations in the Arctic. He got a look all over the boat an talked several of the crew, both officers and enlisted. He even made the XO incommutable when he wa able to work out the match for somehting (I forget what) that was supposed to be classified.
A cardiologist is not a surgeon. Two completely different pathways. Nobody in the medical field would make that error. It’s not trivial. Don’t know this ‘doctor’ but clearly he doesn’t pay attention to his advertising.
On 766, drier broke, fixed the drum bushing with an old valve found in the lathe tool box, glad laundry wasn't hangin in the TR
Do the sailors have secret sexual relationships when onboard like in prison?
I was on a surface ship, and yes, every deployment I've been on has had at least two couples, and that's on destroyers.
How could 1 or 2 cooks possibly prepare that many meals every 6 hours from scratch while washing dishes and cleaning up? There’s really only 1 guy who does that all day before the mid rats guy comes for 1 meal?
I subscribed to your channel because I felt your naval background and experiences gave credibility to your content. However, seeing that you have very different criteria for evaluating the validity of information you endorse than I do, seriously damages that credibility with me. You have every right to accept sponsorship from whomever you choose. But this is one now former subscriber who can no longer assume that your content is credible so I am no longer interested.
Remember the German world war 2 submarine that sunk because of the toilet overflowing? 🤣🤣😂😂
What I don't get but really interested to find out. Is whats the work week like. I mean you don't do a 40 hr week 9 till 5. Are you days like 12 hrs on / off, do you work 7 days week when underway.
Why reverse the background image? It's just annoying to have to read backwards.
Disappointed to see you promoting the latest "quick fix for everything" food fad.
"its so bad and in all the health foods but you can quickly and easily cure yourself at home" stinks of nonsense im surprised you let it through.
Prunes are God's Ozempic.
(Joke stolen from proffessional comedian.)
USS Cod Memorial has made a video about the WW2 style submarine HEADs just the other day.
Ok gotta say this too. How come people underwater get better food then every plane flight I've been on?
I don't know how you bubbleheads do it; must be made of sterner and stranger stuff. Those industrial dryers are a nightmare to maintain. Exposed elements, sharp edges and enough lint to make a human sized nest.
Could you do something to more clearly separate your ad from the main video? You spoke, did your intro, and gave the entire ad in the exact same tone of voice as your normal content. It took about 40 seconds to realize you were doing an ad.
Hot bunking on a multi-billion submarine in the 21st century is unacceptable and inexcusable.
7:20 What happens if you suddenly get sonar contact while the tumble dryer is going?
Mine is definitely not quiet and won't turn off at a moments notice.
Great video but hey.. the snake oil advertisement of pseudoscience guru is getting on my nerves...
How about "Das Boot"? Any comments on that?
I know it's tradition, but I always thought the officers should do their own laundry , at least the JOs
Do subs have a jail or lock up? What do you do if a sailor loses it, or commits a crime? Also do they separate females from male sleeping quarters etc?
What happens if someone brings a cold virus aboard? Are there enough people to have different strains aboard?
Much like Sally K Norton's book on toxic Superfoods.
will the not hot racked bed space be used for food stowage which is moved all the time ?
Do sailors on subs get ever get sick while underway? Does the whole crew eventually get the same illness?
Damn sub brief you lost a good bit of credibility shilling that Dr Gumby crap 👎
Hey sub brief, what software are you using to illustrate your explanations in the last video?
There must be some good stories about both excellent cooks and bad cooks.
And the Captain's efforts to find one while avoiding the other.
We use to say being a cook was the hardest course in the Navy, why? Because nobody has ever passed it.
I too dream of being a commissioned laundry officer 🫡
I came to watch a sub video... left when it turned into an infomercial
Do you have time to relax? I heard of sailors playing xbox on a submarine.
Imagine how much money can be saved , if they serve 2 minute noodles for all meals.
😂😂😂 just why man lol
that wouldnt save much money in the end when all of your sailors are sick and demoralized from that "food"
Sub duty is voluntary. You wouldn't be able to have a crew if you didn't treat them right.
You know Im joking right?
Guest for money has hit new all time low by you siding with a scammer.
"pediatric heart surgeon" =/= "gutt cleansing"
HAha, I remember my dad, who is a Dutch submarine veteran, telling me about the "vented poop tank" and how they used pressurized air to dump it overboard. I don't know if this was different for you guys, but on his boat they had to get the air out out of the tank before they could start filling it again. The way they did that was to simply vent it back into the boat. They did have filters to make sure no particles and pathogens would enter the sub, but it didn't quite get rid of the smell :)
Yes, the old "blowing sanitaries" and "venting sanitaries." Those were the days - still miss them....
Does the sub have to get near the surface to release the poop lol
You ever have problems with people pissing in sinks?
