    With 72 submarines in service, the United States fields the largest underwater fighting force in the world. Stealthy and absolutely deadly against surface vessels, submarines are tasked with deterring foreign aggression, nuclear deterrence, intelligence gathering, and even providing fire support for land forces with land-attack missiles. But for most of a submarine's lifespan it will glide through the oceans of the world completely undetected and as they say: out of sight, out of mind. Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look at what life is like aboard a submarine.
    Not every man can be a submariner, and though it is a 100% all-volunteer force, the US Navy's submarine fleet has very stringent entry requirements. Individuals must be male, pass a series of academic tests, psychological evaluations, and intensive courses on the fundamentals of submarine operations. With deployments that can last for hundreds of days at a time and disaster being only one mistake away, the Navy must be confident that it is entrusting some of the most expensive weapons in its arsenal, and the hundred-plus lives within them, to only the most psychologically stable and academically qualified individuals.

    US Submariner here
    1. There is no longer a requirment to be male as of 5 years ago.
    2. We usually replenish food at sea.
    3. Were broken into 3 sets of 8 hours now, changed 5 years ago
    4. We dont slam doors and be quiet so we dont get detected from other boats, not because of sleeping people.
    5. The reactor itself actually takes up very little space, 1/3 of the ship is the engine room that houses alot of equipment and machinery for propulsion, water creation and air production.
    6. Your drawings of submarines seems to be based off russian submarines instead of US submarines based on the conning tower design.

Its not only all Male now days 3.) You dont have to be all that smart 4.) 100 days isnt that long 5.)328 isnt under the water the entire time 6.)its 3/ 8 hour now due to circadian sleep cycles 7.) You have way way less than less than 15 sq feet 8.)you dont get 6 down you only get between 4 to 5 9.) Its not because we cant make more water with boats that have RO on a LA class we have 4 stalls in middle level 10.) The engine room is 1/2 the sub 11.)there not chefs there cs's 12.)

      I spent 20+ years on Subs and retired as a Master Chief (E-9) I did 10 deployments that were 90 days plus and 4 deployments that were 6 months plus. Some were in the North Atlantic, The Med and a couple WestPac. This was back right at the time the new 688 class was being introduced to the fleet and they weren't certified for deployment and lots of 637's were being back fitted with the new Sonar and they couldn't deploy, so we did a few back to back deployments .... I loved every minute of it, EXCEPT the field days!!! LOL

    This is a poorly researched video to say the least. From my experiences on fast attack subs;
    1. A person has to volunteer to get into the sub fleet, but can't volunteer their way out.
    2. Females have served on American subs since 2011.
    3. Food is not the only limiting consumable on board.
    4. All American nuke subs (except the Virginia class) can or have been refueled.
    5. Watches can be 6 hours on 12 hours off, 6 on 6 off, or 6 on and 18 off.
    6. Sailors know the time by clocks/watches, not meals.
    7. Officers have much more personal space than junior enlisted.
    8. There are 2 shower stalls for the junior enlisted, 1 for chiefs, 1 for junior officers and 1 for the XO/CO.
    9. The ship's washer and dryer is usually run anytime, only lazy Sailors run out of clean clothes.
    10. There are 4 toilets for the 110 junior enlisted, 1 for the JO's, 1 for the CPO's and 1 for the CO/XO.
    11. The "no politics" while underway is BS.
    12. The shellback initiation described is wrong for the most part.

    I'm a retired Navy submarine veteran and I would have to say some of the information is correct and some of it is not. I had the honor and privilege to serve on board two attack submarines (USS DACE SSN-607, USS PITTSBURGH SSN-720)and one fleet ballistic missile submarine(USS GEORGE C. MARSHALL SSBN-654). I did it because it was a childhood dream and to be honest there isn't a day that I don't think about it.

They have sold 12 this Submarine abroad. If the quality are so poor . Then why , there are a huge foreign interest. Now Don't tell Chinese Submarine is cheap, so that they are buying them.

    Sealander submariner of 69 years here:
    This is video is lies.
    - Our submarines were powered by steam that had to pumped from land into the submarines by a large rubber hose.
    - Our submarines had gull wing doors (like a Mercedes) so it was difficult to slam them.
    - Our crews were comprised of both males and dolphins of all foot sizes and head circumferences.
    - We usually fished for food using Scuba gear by holding onto the outside of the moving submarine with one hand and onto the AK-47 with the other.
    - Shifts usually lasted 23 hours with 6 hours sleep followed by the same the next day (some times they lasted for 53 hectares but these were less common)
    - Even though I hated my time on the submarines, I enjoyed it.
    - All hail the Principality of Sealand.

    I was in the RN. Our terminology differs somewhat from yours.
    The only thing I resented about being a submar(r)iner was the lack of proper jollies. 3rd sqdn being at Faslane, we got all the sneakies. But I tell you what you can't beat, is coming out of a machinery space after the First watch and, when on the surface getting permission for 10 minutes on the bridge.
    The Adriatic was fascinating. You could see both coast lines lit up. But the best was inside the Arctic Circle with the sea flat calm and not a cloud in the sky. The waves glittering as they broke across the bow.
    The most emotional thing though was laying in your bunk and hearing whales singing.
    We once swam in the Med out of sight of land. Diving from the forward planes and climbing up a rope ladder. Sea so clear you could see right under the boat. A migrating sparrow landed on the casing until it got its breath back and then took off again towards Africa. We all cheered it on.

    My dad is on the USS Connecticut SSN22 right now. I don't think that most of this video is correct. I guess it depends on the sub? The Connecticut is a fast attack sub but still 350 feet long. Idk all he does on there other than like artic training or something but this video definitely got the sleep thing wrong. I remember him saying he'd wake up after a 36 hour shift, taking a 45 minute nap and then going back for another 36 hours and then going to sleep for 22 hours. But I think normal watches are like 6 hours.
    I've heard stories of people on watch with weak stomachs and small bladders who would piss in the bilge funnel or take a shit in a bucket behind the switchboards. Some dude shit his pants without having watch relief.
