I rode subs many years ago. I am a plank owner of the USS Grayling from 1969, SSN 646. Before that, I rode diesel boats.

Thank you!! I read your USS Grayling had an "exciting" depth gauge issue at one time. Glad the guys in the engine room were paying attention.

I admire all you bubble-heads. I couldn't do what you guys do. I spent my time on surface ships. An LPH, a CV, a CVN, a squadron of PBR'S, and a navy tug boat, (not in that order). I made 2 Pacific crossings, rode out 2 typhoons ,and a couple of storms in the North Atlantic. But I just could not be a crewman on a submarine. They scare me.
Legend says the Captain is still chewing his gum.
Seeing the real captain's character, this actor characterized him well. Excellent show

HEy I was on that boat for 1 day back in the 70's. Stationed at Patrick AFB just down the coast from Port Canaveral. Got a tour on her 1 day for checking something about public health issues.
little did they know, at the time of filming this, but the Grayling was to be found by undersea exploration. She is now Forever on Patrol.
You'd think a Rear Admiral would call a sub a boat not a ship
The admiral later played Mr. Drysdale in the Beverly Hillbillies.

8th was the patrol that doomed the grayling...uble...lol
A lot of the information presented in this video is incorrect. The dates were off by months. She left in March of 1943 for her sixth war patrol and returned in April. After the sixth patrol, the captain was replaced by Captain Brinker. Brinker made the seventh war patrol to Borneo, and she returned in July. On her eighth war patrol is when she was lost with all hands.
It is great to hear from these naval heroes.

good videos, but i find it interesting that the depth charges always go off at the exact depth of the sub no matter if the go deeper or not
Barry Atwater played a lot of heavies back then.
I wonder what that whale thought when he started getting depth charged.

Geez what a Gaddy whale? Biggest farts ever?

Give that whale the Navy Cross!
Brave Men
and of course the next question is, (why is not the whale's hearing so damaged by the previous depth charges it will now beach itself and die). This has occurred a lot in the last few years with cetaceans here in puget sound. The wales can't even take our sonar, it destroys their hearing making them useless, and feeble, thus killing them. Modern sonar may make pulses when near whales beyond their recovery factor. In fact we control our sounds greatly compared to the past to try to protect these animals. Why this whale was not killed outright by the depth charges is beyond me unless a thermocline protected it against the depth charge sieges.

Good questions. I had the same thought, especially since the experiences in Puget Sound. Perhaps the whale was stunned (and deafened) by the first run of charges and that is why he bumbled into the midst of the action.
I haven't found a source yet that said the Grayling disappeared on her 7th patrol. All sources indicate it was her 8th patrol. What's up with that? Anyone know?

How do those on a destroyer know when they've zeroed in on a sub with depth charges?
@lurking0death
4 жыл бұрын
Sonar gives the destroyer the approximate position of the sub. The destroyer runs to the position and drops a "pattern" of depth charges. These may or may not hit the submarine. Or, they may be close enough to submarine to damage it and force it to the surface. Also, the submarine may be low on breathable oxygen, it may have broken batteries that are giving off deadly chlorine gas, it may have broken pumps...any number of things can nullify or sink a submarine. Sometimes destroyers just add to pre-existing problems and the sub has to surface, where it is defeated-sunk.

Great story. But a whale would be nowhere around an area where depth charges were being dropped.
Mr. Drysdale had a better barber when he was on the Beverly Hillbillies.
Such a terrific series, if only they could have improved upon the "Interviews" with the Special Guests. Some of these are downright painful. Submariners are the smartest people in the US Navy, why didn't they trust these men to just speak and answer questions? Instead they scripted every word they were to speak in horribly canned monotone responses.
@stevemcconnico1837

You have to remember, TV was a new medium and many of the guests were very nervous about appearing on nationwide television. Hence, they had to read the teleprompter so they could remember their own stories.

+Bobby Paluga Teaching acting and guiding interviews has changed a lot. That's why the new actors in so many shows and movies are still very professional. And interviews are now much better too. But the older generation wasn't like us. They didn't live with microphones and all kinds of cameras everywhere. That equipment was very distinctive and continually obvious to them. It made for stilted responses. We bought a tape recorder to try to capture my grandfather's Depression and gold mining stories. But he just couldn't talk into a machine. We tried sitting in on the recordings so it would be more personable. But to him those whirling reels were quite intimidating. How sad that we lost all that history!

Nah, it's just poor production value. I've seen much better from the period. It's true tho, in the early days people would dart their eyes about, not sure if they should look at host or the camera or the director.
