In 1972, during the Vietnam war, I was flying B-52’s from Guam. Our track would take us north of the Philippines for aerial refueling. One night, during a thunderstorm, one of our airplanes lost their systems that provided flight instruments and they lost control. 7 men were forced to bail out into the ocean. They got into their life rafts in high seas. They had sent a distress signal, so a C-130 was dispatched to the scene. They were hundreds of miles from land and in a difficult situation. But, a nuclear submarine, returning to base from a patrol was able to surface and pick up 5 of them. One injury was a broken leg. One crew member died and his body was later recovered. The Air Force greatly appreciates the Silent Service!

I'm not a service man but I was fortunate enough to work with a couple old sub vets at my old job. We built irradiation equipment for military. We had to two technicians that served on subs and told me some crazy stories. One tech Ralph, served on the USS Skate, was one of the engineers that designed the first nuclear submarine. He had stories better than any movie. Many of you probably read the book blind man's bluff, best sub book ever. One of the secret missions they did was during the cold war America discovered an underwater communication cable used by the Russians. Divers from the USS Halibut spliced into the cable allowing US to listen to all Russian naval communications. The other tech, was one of those divers. He also told me admiral Rickover tried to court marshall him when he was on guard duty because he tried to get on the boat without his ID and he wouldn't let him pass. He said Rickover called him every curse word in the dictionary but he wouldn't let him pass. Luckily the captain came out and saved him. I got massive respect for anyone that serves on these awesome boats.

Yes...Ohio-class boats smaller in terms of displacement than the Typhoon class, but pack a bigger punch. More importantly...of the 18 Ohio-class boats, ALL are still on active duty, but only one of the Typhoon-class is still on duty. Fun facts: --US warship classes are named after the first ship. (Yeah...we're boring and predictable like that.) The notable exception is the Thresher-class which was renamed Permit-class after the Thresher sank with all hands in 1963. --In compliance with treaties signed with the Soviet Union, four of the Ohio-class boats were converted from carrying ballistic missiles to carrying cruise missiles: Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia. Because Ohio was the first boat converted, she has the distinction of being the namesake for two different classes of warship.

Also a very quick glimpse of 13 Days...

I'm a SSBN-730 Plankowner (original commissioning crew). I served on board from shipyard through strategic deployment. As much as I hated leaving home back then, I now miss those times. Glad to have served.

I'm currently on the Henry M. Jackson, she's going through some upgrades right now.

At 2:48, The name of the first ship in a design class is that design's "Class" name. So the future ships are not "eventually give the same name". They are given their own name but are the same design/class as the first. As in the Battleship Missouri on which the Japanese surrender was signed is a Iowa class battleship. Iowa being the first of that design/class built.

I served on the USS Kamehameha when it was a SSBN and will never forget what a privilege it was to serve on this submarine 1968-70.

SSBN 642

I was machinist at electric boat Groton Connecticut starting October 1979 right out of high school the first boat I worked on was the 726 SSBN OHIO

Nahhh, ohio submarine💀💀💀

That's incredible that those people got rescued by a nuclear missile boat. Crazy.

When Ohio memes are actually accurate.

When I was at one of the Air and Space museums, the display about the missiles said that 2 Ohios with peak armament would be able to hit every major target in the entire Soviet Union.

only in ohio

Thanks for a very interesting presentation.👌👌👏👏👏

I loved this video on my Ohio class Nuclear Submarine's! During my service in the United States Navy; I had the distinct privilege to proudly servve aboard the U.S.S. Henry M. Jackson SSBN-730 Blue Crew whilst she was being built (PCU); through Sea Trials; and ultimately when she was commissioned as a United States Ship! I earned and was proudly qualified in Submarines (SS) and amongst many other honorable things got to drive this beautiful monster of a machine! I am a Plank Owner, too! Well done on your video, Sir!

of course its always in ohio

obviously its OHIO O = Only H = Happens I = In O = Ohio

Over forty years old, I remember her trip into Bangor Base Trident Pier.

No more enemies to fight? How things change in a heartbeat! Based on what's happening now in Central Europe, and what might suddenly happen in the Asia Pacific, I think that we need those submarines more than ever !

And now it is alleged that the former occupant of the White House told Australian businessman and Mar-a-Lago club member Anthony Pratt very sensitive secrets about US nuclear submarine capabilities , as well as to scads of other people at his Mar-a-Lago club , long after the former occupant of the White House had left office . The FBI and prosecutors from the office of special prosecutor Jack Smith have interviewed Pratt twice this year about it . I believe that these new revelations are going to snow ball . And who knows what that traitor was doing with classified documents in all this time . THAT'S what was in our White House for four years .

General Dynamics has its biggest competitor…Specific Statics

I live only a few miles from NSB, Kings Bay, Georgia in Saint Marys. It is wonderful to watch the boats as they enter and exit port.

My buddy and I were fishing the St. Marys river 10 years ago and we saw a SSBN coming into King’s Bay and it was breathtaking to see

This will probably get lost but can you do a video on the USS Clamagore? It is the last surviving submarine of its type and on the national register of historic places. They are planning on sinking it before this year's hurricane season and it would be good to get knowledge out there to try to stop it. It is currently owned by the patriot point museum.

WOW! Last time I saw the Clamagore, (Mid '80's) she was open to the public at Patriots Point in Charleston, SC. But then so was the SS Savanna (The 1st Nuclear Merchant ship) , which I recently heard was scrapped as well.
