@@PsRohrbaugh The answer is yes if you are a Family member 😊 before 9-11 I got the pleasure of a Dive in Hood Canal on 😊 USS Alabama SSBN-731 the sub was coming back to Banger Sub Base after deployment. We came on board the same way by Tug and the same boarding gang plank. We then cruised to the torpedo test range in the North end of the Hood Canal The depth of the Hood Canal is 600 feet. The crews always do a test dive after deployment at Sea. My young son even got to sit in one of the two dive plane wheel stations, for pictures taken. We got a tour of everything on board except the Nuclear power plant. On another trip to Bangor I had the pleasure of visiting the USS Nevada SSBN-733. The security at Banger is intense. We had two other checks by security after entering the main gate. Even when we got to Drydock that the USS Nevada was in. The CAPTAIN makes the FINAL "ok" to welcome us tour guests aboard. There was a sailor with a 45 in holster and a sailor with shotgun at entry hatch station on deck 😊 what amazing to me is how happy straight natured the crew on the Alabama was after being at Sea coming home to rotate the crews. 😊 Of all the US Navy vessels I have had the greatest experience of a ship board tour or Ride on. The Sub crews are the nicest and most gracious personality that I have seen in the Navy. They are incredible MEN. The security is so much changed after 9-11. They do have open house at the Fair Winds Torpedo test range Base every two years at NANAIMO BC. The last one I went to had a Canadian Attack Sub at the Pier open for Tours. You might check that out, if No luck with US Navy bases open for ships tours. The Captain of the Subs always has the final say on who can board his boat.

The answer was "get off my dock", same with the second sub, but the 3rd guy on "gate watch" said lemme ask the Captain-who said YES! WOW! I was flying C-130 aircraft (trash haulers) back then and I was AMAZED at the sub's nav system-in C-130s we were lucky to know where we were within a couple of MILES (before GPS) in the middle of the ocean, and these sub guys knew where they were with unbelievable accuracy!

I’m writing to you because, You can take the boy out of the submarine but you can’t take the submarine out of the boy. I qualified on a WWII submarine. USS SEA OWL SS405. Four patrols on a nuclear FBM. USS ETHAN ALLEN SSB(N)608. On patrol In Norwegian Sea during Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. On patrol April 10, 1963 when THRESHER exceeded crush depth and is still on Eternal Patrol in 8400 feet of water. I shipped with two sailors on board. Our Captain took us to test depth that morning, on the way back up to patrol depth he told us of THRESHER and wanted to show us we still had the integrity of our boat. After 4 years I left the Navy and used GI BII to learn to fly airplanes. I retired as Captain of GULFSTREAM flying at 45,000 feet at .85 MACH (630mph). My son enlisted in Nuclear Submarine Navy in ‘92 right out of high school. Today, 32 years later he is the COMMODORE, SUBMARINE SQUADRON 15, GUAM. The military has a lot to offer young people.

As a former US Navy submariner (USS Plunger SSN-595, USS Shark SSN-591), it was interesting to see modern submarine life. I served before cell phones and personal computers. We would have movie night with watching tapes in criuse mess. Das Boot was our favorite submarine movie. Very realistic for WW2 deisil boats. They surfaced or came to periscope depth not only for fresh air but the deisil engine recharged the batteries that the boat ran off. You did do one thing that I never did, which is crawl to the end of the torpedo tube. Great video!! Thank you, and it brought back a lot of memories.

Good video... I'm sure a few things are different since I last set foot on board a boat in 1989. The only thing I would challenge is the statement that submarines like to and spend most of their time on the surface. It was probably just the nature of the Groton to New Jersey trip that kept you mostly on the surface. Of our underway time, only what was necessary was surface time. Our job is to be a silent, invisible, deadly threat. And, there's no boat worse on the surface than a round bottom boat.

As a former submariner (from way back in the '90s), I always enjoy seeing how civilians/non-submariners react to being on a submarine. I also enjoy seeing how the newer submarines look compared to the very much older boats I served on. I'm looking forward to seeing any of your more in-depth videos you have from your visit aboard. To answer your question of favorite submarine movie, I also go with "Down Periscope", for being accurate about the personalities; but "Das Boot" for absolute submarine life accuracy on the old diesel submarines.
@gottagowork7 ай бұрын
With no marine experience whatoever, I found "Down Periscope" to just be simple and funny but not very plausible. Yet "Das Boot" is likely in my top ten ever. Not gonna lie, I found it very odd it wasn't even mentioned (as far as I was able to pick up anyway). "Das Boot" also scores massively higher on imdb, and #78 on the top #250 list. What's the reason? Americans don't like foreign movies, don't watch older movies, or can't emphasize with "the enemy"?

The Oregon inherits its name from the US state of Oregon. It's a Virginia class boat. You can tell, because the major class before them (the Los Angeles Class) were all named after cities. An example would be the USS Dallas, an American attack submarine that appeared in The Hunt for Red October. That boat was retired in 2018. When the Virginia boats rolled out of the line in the early 21st century, they inherited the names of US states, which was a naming convention that was originally meant for battleships. This might give people an idea of their importance for the modern USN. Thank you Emily for taking us on this adventure. The US Submarine service is as close to being an intelligence operative as most US service-people will ever get. Don't believe me? Look up Ivy Bells, the USS Parche, or for a modern take, the USS Jimmy Carter.

Huge props on talking about the mensuration aspect, I think that's one of the biggest worries women have looking at that opportunity/ career.

It's funny to to see my home in the background of a KZfaq video! Let alone a boat I worked on!

I went aboard USS Blueback (the last US Navy diesel submarine) at OMSI a few months ago, and I was surprised at things that look the same aboard this modern submarine. For example, the cabinets with wooden paneling and the torpedo room look almost identical. USS Oregon does look a lot more spacious aboard than USS Blueback.

3:44 That transition tho...smooth AF syncing the voiceover to match up with the tugboat footage. A+

Well done on this video. As a Submarine Veteran I appreciated the job you did with this and the comparisons you made to a space ship. Throughly enjoyed this.

How many people get to sign the front hatch of a torpedo tube, amazing. I imagine your cheerful energy and curiosity was a nice boost to the crew.

Very cool. I spent 4 1/2 years in the US Navy but never got to be aboard a sub .I had a Sonar buddy who did a tour on a sub but all he really said about it is: "You really don't wanna do that. Just be thankful you're a surface guy!" Anyway now I know its every bit as freaky and claustrophobic as I imagined. Love it, p;lease do more videos like these.

Ok, so, I have to watch Down Periscope now. Radio shrink captaining a submarine, could be fun. I love his "Pentagon Wars"!

Not gonna lie. I have tried to watch other 'Submarine Guest' videos in the past and they seemed to bore me, where as you kept it interesting the entire time and I made it right to the end, where I am leaving this post. Great job.
