    22 years in the Navy. 13 of which was on subs. Each and every man on those boats was smarter than the average bear. Every man was a brother and could be counted on to his job flawlessly.

      Looking back at life as an old retired non military, I regret not having the guts to join the Navy. I didn’t swim. Pretty sure the sub guys are expected to at least swim. So when I say that my family and I are very grateful for your service and all those who serve. Where I worked, we were pissed if we had bad paper cut.

    9:52 I served on a nuclear submarine tender in Guam back in 1973. Boy, things have progressed since then, starting with women serving on board subs. Most civilians don’t realize that the US has mobile nuclear missile launch platforms patrolling the globe 365 days a year. This serves an incredible deterrent to Putin should he do something stupid. This makes each $4 billion sub worth every penny! We should all rest easier knowing this fact.

I went on a L.A. class fast attack sub.(I'm from Bham Al and the sub was the U.S.S. Birmingham SSN 695). Anywho, it was fun for 4 days. Learned a lot by but nah, claustrophobic lol.

    I've had really cool career that has afforded me much, but this is definitely on my list of "if I could do it all over again." Not sure I would last for careers, and mentally and physically so rigorous, but I'd SO love to give it a whirl for a few months. I've worked with several submariners and have heard some amazing stories - then you watch a video like this and it's hard not to get a little giddy...

    In 1965 we were in a Japanese port drinking when shore patrol quickly rounded us all up to escape to our ship. The locals were upset about a nuke sub in port. I'll never forget, as our little shuttle boat was gliding along about midnight, that we came upon the sub, and what an Erie sight it was. It was like a sea creature lurking for prey. Today the Japanese welcome our subs but it was a whole different experience back then.

      Puddle Pirates making the Navy look good? Formerly of the department of transportation and the only branch with a height requirement. Have to be at a minimum 6’ tall. In case your ship breaks down/DIW you can wade to shore. In sonar “A” school at FLEASWTRACENPAC, San Diego…once we were at the “secret” phase the coast guard students were gone. Very odd I thought.

    I love the mindset that we need to actually take some special nuclear submarines like this you know just the parts say up to the ISS space station set up a construction Bay up there right go ahead and put things together actually in space and retrofit them with actual you know space engines and stuff and actually use them as Starships I mean they're already able to withstand high pressure and our air and water tight so it seems like an obvious thing to me.
