Come on now; we talking about submarine military; they are not like soldiers or marines, way less meat heads, more nerds. Which is fine, I bet there’s never any fights. Navy people are different in mentality. I had a buddy who went navy when I went army; few years later when we met up. We weren’t even friends anymore, he changed very much, same with me. We talked about our experiences and his was a lot more softer, but I definitely would not want to be in a submarine vs a fox hole. But I will say; wish I went navy. They really do get better food; he talked about Friday was steak and lobster; He definitely enjoyed it; mine was just a suck fest. And not the good kind of suck off.

I was a rider on submarines and surface ships. I agree that submarines have the best food in the Navy.

I deployed on many different types of ships including subs. Maybe it was an anomaly, but the best chow I ever had in my 25 year career was not on a sub, but an aircraft carrier! USS America during a North Arabian Sea deployment in the early 80s. Chow was good on a boat when you first pulled out, but once you "ate your way through the boat", and were underway for a couple of months, the food got hinky. But, it was a very different USN back then.

I agree, some of the best food I've ever had has been on the aircraft carriers, but unfortunately it's a trade-off for long lines. I remember waiting an hour and a half to 2 hours on lobster/ steak night for some chow.

At 12:20 the guy didn't look to happy being the dining room waiter. He got the guy at the table a cup of soda and just looked like he was having a bad day.

That guy is a FSA (Food Service Attendant) or Crank from back in the day. He is a very junior guy (typically less than a few months onboard). That is exactly his job so that the guys can get their food & eat quickly. It limits the amount of people up in an already cramped place. We don't get a ton of time to eat, especially when you have to get an entire forward and aft watch team through in 30min so these guys help get drinks, refill condiments & get deserts for the guys eating and relieving. He could be having a bad day but unbeknownst to him, he is being judged by every qualified guy that comes through there. Because it is a tight knit crew and the survivability during an accident requires every person to know alot about firefighting and damage control the qualified guys are seeing how he handles doing the worst job onboard to see if he even wants to be a "Brother of the Phin"

I remember when the Doc Roberts was a HM1 NUB.

I never served on a sub, but I served on a rather small surface ship (an old 'tin can'), and my trick for finding privacy was to catch a nap in one of the tiny fan rooms inside the ship's main deck exterior.

He was much softer; at time I found it not respectable as a military man…also nicer in personality like a nerd, and you know how 19D were toughed up leather. Pit bulls in cages poked with sticks. He was more like an indoor cat with a rich family. 😂 Years later I see how it was better, he’s married with three kids living nice house. I’ve been in out of homelessness; divorced and been to jail.

Spent my time in the Navy on a YTB attached to a sub squadron. We spent our time putting subs alongside a tender, and getting them underway. I don’t remember ever actually going inside one.

Really cool documentary. In case one of the crewmembers get's a contagious winter diarrhea and vomiting disease how will that work out inside the sub?

💯 many similarities in the mess hall and the bunkbeds as the penitentiary system in California. 🛏️🍽️

We were on 18 hour days. Not 24 hour days. And the food was good only during the first half of the tour. The second half, it started going down hill. : )

How do they handle death on board.

All while being aboard the most sophisticated piece of machinery in the world. The range of technology is found nowhere else.

Do they have a psychologist or some kind of counseling available? It seems like an environment that would be psychologically and emotionally very challenging, especially over the course of months of confinement. Aggression and fights breaking out, among other issues.

How they throw the stomach dumbs under sea

They do things similar to the U-Boat crews during World War II....hot-bunking, storing provisions everywhere, no shaves, etc.
