I joined the US Navy at 17 and enlisted a week out of high school. I served from 79 to 83 aboard the fleet ballistic missile submarine USS John Adams, SSBN 620 during the cold war. We would deploy for about 3 to 4 months underwater. Our mission was different than the fast attack boats. We were to remain undetected and be ready to launch our missiles should the order ever come. Thank God it never did. But our motto was "we hide with pride". And riding in the top of the sail while on the surface was a blast.

Hey guys, the US Navy submarine crews are not out on deployment in the ocean for 6 weeks, its 4 months! I know someone who served on a Navy submarine and he said basically you are living in a big metal vessel under wafer with no view of anything outside for 4 months. They don't come up to the surface or the water very much because then their cover is blown and they can be found and detected by the enemy. In fact if a loved one of a crew member died, they are not allowed to find out because there is no way they can get off the sub anyway. They can't airlift them out because then there is too much risk of the enemy finding them. Since they can't leave and go home, they don't want them distraught for the rest of the deployment because they are stuck and can't go attend the funeral and be with family and grieve.

My husband served on both fast boats and boomers. Boomers have more of a schedule. But, sill 6 months a year( 3 months at a time) not only gone but NO communication with the outside world. Fyi, if you have a fight with your spouse before a patrol, finish it before he leaves. Seen too many sailors coming home from a patrol and divorce papers are waiting for him.

My husband served for 20 years in the US Submarine Navy from 1992 to2012. He served on both "Trident" Subs and "Fast Attack" Subs. I can tell you that for the most part, everything that this new sub is supposed to do, the Virginia class and the converted SSBN's to SSGN's have been doing for a while. It's called the Silent Service and they serve proudly.

I knew a submarine navy officer. He said it was hard not to go “stir crazy” on a 6-9 month deployment. He said he imagined the space station astronauts probably go through a similar experience.

In a Submarine, the Missle is "Launched" by Compressed Air pushing it out of the vehicle. It then 'ignites' once it is above Sea Level and it then is fully powered by it's own rocket engine. Hence, the reason why you see it 'pop' up above the water then ignite and take off towards it's target.

Love the background! Millie, you NEED Home Free in your life!!!! Make James show you! ❤ from Texas, we are below freezing today- for my birthday 🤠

A full deployment on a sub is 6 to 9 months, not just 6 Weeks.

Someone else just recommended it, too. I think Millie would really like the Ohio State Marching Band’s Blockbuster/Hollywood show.

It is amazing to know the subs. Crew are on duty 24/7 out in the ocean.

When someone falls off any ship or sub they immediately say which side and the helmsman will turn to that side. Remember the rudder is in the back so it pushes the back prop end away from the person that fell in. then they do a figure 8 sort of manuver to come back and retrieve the guy.

Your new setup is a nice look. The only negative is that in order to watch your reactions the viewer isn't watching the video. And vice versa. That's the one main issue with this setup. The viewer is constantly having to look back and forth. The reason most reactors have video insets is because it is more pleasing on the eyes. That's just my opinion. Take that for whatever it's worth. I still enjoy watching your reactions.

Agree 100%. Liked the prior setup with a larger main window and video inset.

One of my Great Grandfathers was a submarine Commander during WWII. He also participated in The Great White fleet when he first joined the US Navy. Unfortunately I never got to meet him as he passed away a few years before I was born. There are great videos on You Tube that provide details on The Great White Fleet if you both need reaction video ideas. Earl Victor Hand RIP.

Also, an old submariner here, patrols are longer than 6 weeks, have done several 80+ day patrols underwater, that is a boomer, fast attacks spend half a year or more at sea but usually not as long underwater, they surface to freshen the air and just look around.

Love your background. I love any combination to the U.S. and U. K. flags. 👍🏼🇺🇸🇬🇧 Whenever I hear computer voices narrating though, all I hear is “nails on a chalkboard”.

My younger friend just got back from a 6 month deployment on a sub. He seemed to have loved it. Though he did say its hard work and you do sometimes just want to see the outside and smell fresh air.

USS Triton in 1960 broke thru the polar ice. That was information made public. First Nuclear Sub USS Nautilus was reported to have popped up 1956 at the North pole. Polaris missal when into service 1960. There is documentation that 45% of WW2 sinking done by subs in Pacific.

When I first got back in the Navy Seabees in 1986, we deployed for 8 months at a time and back home for 6 months. We eventually went to a 7 & 7 rotation. I made 2 8 month deployments and 6 7 month deployments. Total deployment time was almost 4&1/2 years.

Love the new look. You two are killin it.

I spent 23 years in the US Navy, in the Nuclear Power Program. I was assigned to 6 Fast-Attack Subs. I completed 9 deployments on those "boats". Most of the deployments were done prior to the 9/11 attacks, but I did do two deployments after the 9/11 attacks, before earning my commission and moving onto aircraft carriers. To answer the question, if you fall over the side of a submarine while underway, you will be sucked under the hull and then pulled thru the "screw". It is an almost certainty that the victim would not survive that event. Another fact is that submarines spend about 95% of their underway time submerged. Aside from entering and exiting ports, the only time a submarine would operate on the surface would be to launch a remote flying drone or a crew morale event, like a swim call or a cookout. Yes, I have done a swim at the equator. about 500 miles into the Pacific. Those air-fed masks are for damage control. If a fire were to break-out, while submerged, the crew will need to don the air-fed Emergency Air Breathing (EAB) Masks to continue the mission. It is a routine event to hold a weekly fire-drill while underway to continuously train the crew in casualty operations. If you have any questions, I would smile and nod and then tell you what I am able, and enforce it up with a sea story.

Gas masks are for protection in case of fire or other problem that may produce toxic gases. We used to practice or "run drill" on fires and other events. During the drill we would put on (or "don") the masks. The Navy does a great job of preparing sailors for many different scenarios. I served on a submarine, the USS San Francisco (SSN 711), between 1983 and 1986.

It is weird to think about how submarines work. Like how it ascends, descends, and keeps from tipping over. Also neat to think about how "submarines" were kinda invented and first used in America during the Civil War.

The submarine as a war item was first used in the Revolutionary War. It was called the Turtle.

Guys first, if you fall off the sub from its perch you probably may hit some very hard surfaces on the way down that may kill you. Secondly, if hitting the hard surfaces on the way down doesn't kill you the water temperature may kill you in a very short time.

I’ve only been on a submarine once - in high school, we took a trip to Philadelphia and went on the WW II sub in dry dock at Penn’s Landing. I remember the bunks being next to torpedoes. I came away thinking people in those days had to be slimmer, and it was definitely not recommended for people suffering from claustrophobia.

When I was a junior Sailor onboard a "modern" and "larger" Improved LA boat, my first berth was in the Torpedo Room. I slept on the port-side lower stow, outboard of a Mk-38 Torpedo. It was probably one of the quietest places on the boat. It was also so much better than having to "hot-rack" in one of the crew-berthing areas. It took me almost 6 years before I was senior enough to be able to be assigned my own rack.

Next time you guys come to NYC, you should visit the Intrepid Museum on the Hudson River, while there you can tour the aircraft carrier UUS Intrepid, the submarine USS Growler, see the Space Shuttle Enterprise, and even a Concorde! I think you would enjoy it.

Years ago there a movie of a sub that was underwater for a long time. When it came up, they were alone, except for a morse code being tapped out. It tuned out that a coder was tangled in a cord moved by the wind.

Brits are family. God bless you across the pond

The oxygen masks are SCUBA system masks for fire fighting just like land based fire brigades have. Fire is a huge danger onboard a submarine because it can quickly deplete all the oxygen you have. Crews train extensively to fight fires. And each crewmember has a self contained breathing apparatus that they wear during training. Great video, guys!

I operated the nuclear plant on an FBM Submarine in the 70s. We had two crews that swapped out every 3 months. You spend 3 or 4 days turning over to the other crew, another couple of weeks performing refit, stores loadout, etc. A patrol would last 60 to 70 days totally submerged, then return to port and perform turnover to the other crew. During Off-crew, you would go back to your home base and attend training

Smarter Everyday did a real good series about submarines and crew.

Take it from an old sub sailor the propellor things on the back , are called screws

I enjoy your videos. I served on a much older fast attack submarine from 1978 to 1982. The video you were watching showed a number of different subs. The older ones have planes on the sail and the newer ones have gone back to bow planes which you can't see. What you thought were gas masks are what we called EABs Emergency Air Breathing. They have an air hose that can plug into many 100 LB air receptacles on the boat. Each EAB also has an air receptacle that others can plug into. Although they would be used for an unlikely coolant leak from the reactor, they are most often used in the event of a fire.

Growing up as a “navy brat” 6 months out, 6months in. Even in included training exercises that could go around a month at a time. Sea duty can vary from 3months to 9months depending on where home port is located.

Even , here in the USA, subs are not that common as the surface ships. It's still a site if you get to see one pulling in and out of port. My husband served on subs for 21 years. One day my son and I were driving over a bridge about to go into a tunnel and traffic was stopped for an accident. We live near the largest Naval base in the US in Virginia. As we sat on the bridge, all of a sudden people got out of their cars and ran to to rails. A submarine was going over the tunnel. Aircraft carriers and other ships pass more often than subs. Well, my son was playing his game. I asked if he wanted to watch. He said "I'm good. I've seen enough subs". Eventhough, it's not too often to witness one heading into the Chesapeake Bay heading out to sea. It's still cool. My husband stared on a fast boat for 5 years in the 80s. Durring the hight of the cold War. He was on the Dallas. The one from "The hunt for the Red October ". Then the rest of his career on boomers on the west coast. He is a nuke too. 1st on last off from a patrol. The one he retired from was one of the 1st to change from SSBN to SSGN. As a civilian, he spent the last 19 years as a test writer . Now retiring , for the 2nd time. He technically served 40 years on subs. Even as a civilian, he would go on test runs. We calculated he has been physically out to sea for 10 years under water. So, not a glamorous job. Tough on families. But one we are very proud to be part of.

The channel Smarter every day did a very in-depth look at the U.S Navy Submarine

My son's an Ironworker and he worked on the new buildings where they're going to build these huge new class of submarine. The last one he was working on was about 200 feet tall since they didn't have a building big enough to build it in

Hey guys, even if it was "click bait", I'm cool you watched it because now it got you wanting to do a reaction on Submarines, which I think you will really enjoy; for example the Navy SEALs use Submarines to launch their own little Submarine, so that the SEALs can go to shore and do whatever operation they need to do or person that needs a killing'. 😂

you should watch the channel Smarter Everyday, he has a series got clearance to board a US submarine. he shows you a good bit of the behind scenes work it takes to operate a nuclear sub

You need to check out Smarter Every Day's submarine deep dive series. He was able to spend some time on a submarine, and he made 9 videos detailing different aspects of submarine life.

In multiple port cities across the United States you can view and tour the insides of different navy vessels. There are several submarines that you can tour the insides of. One of my favorites is in Cleveland, Oh. It’s called the USS Cod it is a WWII era sub, it just had a face lift in Aug of 2021. There is also a Great Lakes Freighter you can go in as well

Yes, the sea life is disrupted to a point. We used to have pods of whales follow my boat around. Had a couple them run into us. Yes, we breach the ice caps. Yes, we go anywhere and everywhere. My boat did some pretty cool stuff during our underways. And yes, we worked with the SEALs

The music in this video made me feel like I was watching a Michael Franzese mob video.

I basically learned we are working on a post-Virginia class of attack subs due in the next decade and equipped with all the latest whiz-bangs the imaginative can conceive. The details were too speculative to mean much but I didn’t know, though I probably should have guessed, that we are already designing that next iteration of the attack sub.

Was worried you didn't post yesterday......love the new art stuff.... 👏 👏 👏

I worked with a guy that retired from the navy. He worked on subs and told me one time they tracked a Russian sub for about 6 months before returning to port.

50 yrs ago when in the Navy, was on a subtender and would rather be on a newer sub and then older, because of the space available. Submariners were well fed.

Smarter every day has a good series about life on a submarine. I would recommend that one. Even if it's not a reaction video and just something for you to enjoy.

Very interesting stuff to see. I marvel at the people who can endure long deployments in such a small confined space. Lots of respect to those who serve willingly so we don't have to.

The masks are called E A B’s. They provide air during fires, etc. . Emergency air.. You have to connect your hose to an EAB manifold located throughout the boat..you hold your breath until you find one..or you can connect directly to someone else and share their air.

If you fall over board on any large vessel there are multiple hazards the vortex's From the bow suction from the screws and sea chests (water intakes for reactor and equipment cooling, drinking water and oxygen, The masks are for dangerous fumes from fires and damage. the reactor spaces are shielded if the reactor is damaged and the shielding fails your screwed depending on the amount of time, exposure amounts and if you can even get to the surface.

Love the background! 🙂

A couple of FYIs the Ohio class subs are being replaced by the Columbia class, the Virginia was supposed to replace the Los Angeles class and has been - but the Virginia class started production back in 99 and launched in 04. The Los Angeles class was produced from 76 until 96. The boats have a limited life span - the Ohio class is well past their prime, the youngest being a mere 25 years old. Also deployment is 60-90 days with extension to up to 180 days. The masks are in case of fire, still the most dangerous problem on board a ship or submarine. The atmosphere gets quite deadly with all the electronics there, and there isn't an easy way to ventilate. Good video Beesleys Edit to add: The sonar does affect marine life. Whales and dolphin are especially vulnerable to issues from it.

A cruise is 6 months. They come up once a day to exchange..yes.. Email. Sub school is looking for a very mellow personality to become crew. They stay down until the groceries run out.

Gas masks are GQ drills. And more than likely not for CBR. Did something similar on our surface ship. They go full air masks, we did for fire fighting, but they are obviously underwater so like on an airplane, loss of compression...

There's a number of reasons air breathers masks. Smoke from a fire especially in electrical systems also if becomes foul because other internal system failures and list go on from there.

James I’m actually understanding you more and more

You'd be surprised how many people in the Navy can't swim...in boot camp we called them "swimmers" sarcastically/ironically. I served aboard cg62, ridiculous how many couldn't swim

I leave for navy basic training June 14 I’m so ready

Enjoyed the video. There is a camera in San Diego CA that shows Navy ships coming in and leaving port. Subs are often seen. The huge aircraft carriers are my favs. It's called San Diego Web Cam. Check it.

Go watch the "Smarter Every Day" series on subs. The masks are used by fire control teams in the event of a fire. Underwater drones are super cool, like a drone that flies, they are even more advanced. There are many challenges in an ocean that you don't have in the sky, water currents, pressure, thermal gradients, salinity changes. It's a whole different ballgame.

The submarine crew constantly train for fires so that is what you were watching, training.

Thank you. 👍👏

I like the background keep up the good work be careful out there peace out!

i think most marine life rely on sonar .. or some type of vibration of the water for survival and feeding, if they hear something that size coming I would imagine for the most part they would steer clear.. unless they are curious cute little dolphins i suppose :)

It's an SCBA. There's no fire department out there at sea. Fire-fighting and damage control is... we don't mess around.

Talking over the audio while playing the video also makes it difficult to hear.

Greetings. 12 years in the US submarine service. The masks are Emergency Air Breathing (EAB) apparatus. They attach to air manifolds placed every few feet throughout the ship. They provide breathable air in case of contamination (smoke, fuel spill, radioactive particles, etc.). One of our qualification tasks for subs is to is to walk the ship, (blindfolded) bow to stern and be able to find all the manifolds along the way. Let me know if you have more questions. Love your videos. The sub video itself sucked, through no fault of yours. Computer voice, the use of a non-existent "United States Military Defense Force" seal and videos of decades old subs.

Also I'm surprised nobody said it but the majority of the time the suits that they were wearing are mainly for oxygen conservation instead of breathing it out into the air where it mixes with the natural air it stays inside the suit and limits how much exposure oxygen actually gets so that it's no longer a waste issue. There is a nuclear radiation limit but it's not as severe of an issue because the nuclear radiation is actually contained in side of the room that it's exposed to that way it doesn't actually get anywhere except for that one room...

If submarines Peak your interest then I would recommend checking out what the Navy in America feeds the sailors in the submarines when they are out on patrol. They eat better than anyone else in the service. Food is a big morale builder in a place where you literally hot rack as they call it, sharing a bunk with another man replacing him as soon as he gets up and vice versa. It is also impossible to tell time underwater so depending upon the meal they have they will know if it is morning or evening

The newer boats never have to be refueled. The reactor fuel load will last the lifetime of the boat. The air masks are in case of fire or fumes that may affect the crew.

Love y'all's videos!

Y’all did a video on the logistics of aircraft carriers by wendover, I believe they did one on subs too

Those masks were part of the fire fighters equipment aboard a sub. I think when it comes to a reactor leaks, they wear different type of suits with built in respirators.

I am very proud of the US and GB navies and have always found the sub's, especially the OHIO class nuclear sub's fascinating. They have been referred to as "continent killers" and for good reason with it being suggested they are the most destructive military systems ever built. Enough nukes on a single sub to wipe out whole countries. It certainly keeps countries like China on their toes. Let's hope they always stay a deterrent and nothing more.

If you ever make it to Cleveland Ohio we have a sub you can tour.. it really shows you what the seamen have to deal with for months on end
