      chefs are required (but dont) to follow recipe cards. our Filipino chef made amazing fried rice.. to this day i make and eat that cus of this man. he varied from the recipe cards for that. supposedly the recipe cards are formulated by the worlds greatest brains.. to keep sailors happy.. another departure from reality tho. I sadly heard the us navy no longer accepts Filipino citizens in the us navy.. so sad.. these people were the best their nation had to offer.. i think they had to compete to be a us sailor. only the very best was taken. True meaning of friend and ally... when you entrust your military to serve with them. too bad both the us and filipino govts seem to be nuts these days.. and the last 10,000 days..

    Just a thought: Nuclear warheads don't just accidentally "go off". They're not made like that. They require very specific, very deliberate procedures to become armed and to detonate. A mechanical watch doesn't manufacture itself out of loose parts from random collisions. But still, leakage of nuclear material, although not very likely, could cause issues.

    Hey former US Navy Submarine nuclear operator here. Pretty good video, tho I have a few small notes. Fast attack submarines (which also include LA class, of which there are still many) do not have blue and gold crews. You just work like dogs all the time and it never fucking stops.
    Also one of the most important aspects of submarine life is earning your dolphins, an insignia on your chest indicating you are submarine qualified. This entails getting a decent understanding of damn mear every system and piece of equipment on the entire vessel to the satisfaction of multiple system experts and completing a board where you demonstrate the knowledge all over again to the satisfaction of three high ranking people on board. This typically takes about a year of diligent study to complete, but it can vary wildly depending on the submarines culture.

If one is in Engineering on a surface vessel you actually are not much more able to be outdoors than on a sub. Tell me what's the difference? Being in an enclosed engineering space with jet engines, turbines, motors, switchboards with no windows or being in a sub with no windows but a lot more quiet, having better climate control temps and not dealing with sea sickness when the ocean is rough.

In the Army/Marine Corps, whenever you move with vehicles you have to cram everything imaginable into/onto the vehicles. It gets cramped very quickly. I spent many a night attempting to sleep in on top of bags/boxes of supplies. The vehicle element of movement is very cool, but, it means you have to cram your self, your soldiers, and your supplies into a "miniature submarine."

    "But given that these subs are equipped with nuclear weapons, one can only imagine the consequences of a more damaging collision." Yes, I can imagine. The consequences would be... nothing. Because, you see, the people who build and design nuclear missiles aren't stupid. They know that they are building enormously destructive devices. And they realize that making it so that bumping them could make them go off is a *bad idea.* So, in fact, nuclear warheads are designed to only work when a very precise number of things happens in the right order. This is why shooting down nuclear missiles is a safe thing to do, because there is very close to zero chance that you will accidentally cause the missile to detonate.

Yeah, okay, if the local marine life get within and stay within close proximity to it should that occur, they could develop cancer.

    I am a former submariner (USS Lousiana SSBN-743 Blue Crew). There was a critical error in your video that is public knowledge. We do not operate on 24-hour day cycles, but 18-hour cycles when we are underway. So you are on watch for 6 hours, then off for 12 hours. This is due to the fact that we never see daylight so no need to operate our days based on solar cycles and the fact that oxygen is kept very low so we are lethargic.

    Submarine life looks fairly comfortable these days. Certainly in the second world war it looked horrendous on diesel subs. Those vessels had to surface to run diesel engines to charge a battery that allowed them to go underwater for short limited periods. They were cramped like a sardine can and the oxygen system on board was rudimentary and it got hot and humid too fast. They didn't go very deep either.
    If anyone wants to see how life in diesel subs was like see the German war film Das Boot. The sailors were keenly aware at all times that they were going about in what was potentially an extremely cramped coffin.

    IIRC the rescue submarines go down about 3000 feet. That's probably a ballpark guess of the "true" maximum depth of US military submarines.
    The inertial guidance thing was pretty neat, too. Reminds me of the part from "Hunt for Red October" where navigating that way is described as trying to drive a car with blacked-out windows using only a road map and a stopwatch.

    10:12 - This really just includes the weapons sinking with the boat. Nuclear warheads are failsafe, not fail-deadly, so they need to be intentionally triggered in a many-step process. Even if they were caught in an explosion, they would just release some radiation at most without actually causing a nuclear explosion.
