Same here brings back a ton of memories. I qualified lookout just so I could spend as much time as possible on the bridge. When the Dolphins start dancing over the bow it's really cool to see!

Most of my 23 years in subs was spent aft in the Engine Room helping to push these marvelous machines through the water. But on occasion I would get the chance to go up on the bridge and enjoy the view. Wouldn't trade those years for anything.

One of the fun things about the Dace was the sail planes were just below the bridge, so it was easy to climb on 'em to dive in the harbor when we were in Bermuda for a few days (we'd been submerged for 26 days, so realllly needed to get in a swim).....The COB threatened us with imminent death if we dove off the outboard plane, so about 6 of us did just that.....Several times.....We left a lot of water on the deck between the main hatch and control.....Of course, we got busted and had to clean it up before liberty.....He never followed thru with death threat...lol....Was aboard the USS DACE SSN607 from about June '66-Aug. '67, then off to the USS ALBACORE AGSS569 (now Albacore Park, Portsmouth, NH) for my last 8 months..... (active duty Nov. '63 - May '68--extended for Radioman A school and Subs)....Only job on the bridge was to raise or lower the whip antenna after surfacing or before diving....

@@nemdenemam9753 some of us are just different and can handle it :) there is a psych exam required to serve on submarines and one of the things they're looking for is to rule out people who don't seem like the type who would be able to handle it. :) I served on USS Florida SSBN-728 and USS Asheville SSN-758. Only went to see on Florida, though. Asheville was in drydock the whole 9 months I was assigned to her. On Florida, I went on four deterrent patrols, and my DD-214 says 365 days at sea. It is VERY stressful duty: 24-48 hours awake was common, and I once stayed awake for 4 days...this is because we need submarines to do a lot of missions and we don't have many submarines. You have to be smart because you have to become Qualified in Submarines, an intellectually rigorous qualification that takes months of study to prepare for, and involves a 2 hour interview with a 3 person board, including one non-nuclear trained enlisted person, one nuclear trained enlisted person, and one nuclear trained officer all three sit there and ask you questions about the submarine, how it works, and how to handle emergencies (we are all trained Advanced Firefighting and Advanced Damage Control) and you need to know the answers. The longest I stayed underwater was 87 days. :) They are taking females now (no females when I was in the USN but I always approved of it and thought it was a good idea). If you know a young woman who has graduated from high school and seems very smart and seems like she would be able to handle stressful duty in confined quarters, send her here: navylive.dodlive.mil/ewis/ Here's the recruitment page for officers (both male and female). To be An Officer of the Line or as we prefer to call it in the US Navy "Line Officer" -- meaning you could be the Captain of a submarine one day -- you need 1 year of calculus and 1 year of science involving calculus. If you don't have those qualifications but do have a degree, you can be the Supply Officer (they need fewer supply officers, they have a greater need for Line Officers). www.navy.com/careers/nuclear-submarine-officer

While stationed on the USS Coral Sea, CV-43, I would occasionally watch UNREPS from the 0-10 Level, if I remember correctly. On that level the hull number 43, was in fluorescent light fixtures, the same that are throughout most ships. On one occasion we were taking on DFM from USNS Monongahela near dusk. On her starboard side was a Arleigh Burke class destroyer taking on stores. She had her surface search radar active. As it swept across the Coral Maru, I kept seeing flashes. It took me a few minutes before I realized the destroyers radar was lighting the fluorescent lights behind me as it sweeped. Being a radar technician on the E2C Hawkeyes, this was something we would discuss sometimes but I had never experienced before. That destroyer was at least 100 yards from those lights. I retreated below carefully coverings my cahones. Better safe than sorry. Soft tissue such as eyes, with a high water content, and testicles are more susceptible to RF radiation absorption. Any ET should have a field strength meter available which can measure the RF strength of any radio frequency source. We used them on the flight deck quite often to measure antenna efficiency and patterns. Look out for number one! No one cares for you like you!!

I did my time on subs in the 80's. Can someone explain to me why the ships onboard radar was rotating and radiating when it also had a Furuno commercial radar topside? When I was out there we used the Furuno to make our profile look like we were a seagoing fishing vessel so the Russian trawlers could not pick us out as being a war ship. My other question is why did the person who posted this video use the term "Conning Tower" It was called the bridge and the flying bridge was where the lookouts were stationed. I guess times have changed because I never saw the OOD or the CO or XO standing up on top of the sail. QM2SS SSN 670 678 and SSBN 635 Blue

The periodic beeping noise between 2:15 and 2:29 roughly matches up with the rotation of the antenna visible between 2:37 and 2:50. I think it's reasonable to say that the antenna is some kind of a radar and the camera microphone is picking it up as EM noise. The whirrs and boops don't particulary sound like EM noise, but I might be wrong on that.

Like a cruise ship they look so majestic and cool from afar, but up close they're rusted and dinged up. Sea water is very harsh, but then again cost is a factor when building these things. Sure they could use a form of stainless steel to prevent corrosion but costs go up astronomically.
