This was my first boat!!! 🙂I served on this boat from 1999 to 2002. I was a sonar tech, STS3(SS) when I got out of the Navy. At the time, she was still SSBN. She had not yet been converted to SSGN. SSBN stands for Submersible Ship, Ballistic missiles, Nuclear powered. SSGN stands for Submersible Ship, Guided missiles, Nuclear powered. Originally the boat was designed to carry the Trident Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile, which is designed to have the capability to carry nuclear warheads. I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of a nuclear warhead on the boat at any time. But now it's Tomahawk Guided missiles. There is a nuclear warhead variant of the Tomahwak missile, so the current crew would say the same, "I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of a nuclear warhead". But yeah, I've seen this video before, and it's nostalgic, lol. 🙂 Btw when they're in Missile Compartment 3rd level (the area with the orange tubes), in between each tube you see a curtain. Behind the curtains was junior enlisted bunking. Each room is the size of an office cubicle, and 9 of us slept there. 3 forward, 3 aft, 3 amidships. Officer bunking is also a series of rooms the size of an office cubicle, but officers only have to share their room with one or two other officers (depending on how many officers are aboard). The Captain is the only one who gets a room to himself, again, the size of an office cubicle. 🙂 Longest I personally have been underwater on a submarine was 87 days, on this boat. 87 days without coming to the surface. 🙂It's very stressful duty, it was common to be up for 24 or 48 hours, and I once had to stay up for four days. 🙂

I am a nuclear trained submariner (MM1/SS), an expert in radiation control and water chemistry. I qualified back in 1984 on board the USS Tullibee SSN 597. I spent a total of 6 years on board a total of 3 different 'boats', the USS Scamp, the U SS Tullibee, and the USS Tinosa SSN 606. There are many things I can say, more I can't talk about, but I can say it is an experience I wouldn't give up. Trained as I was, I can tell you I worked with the best - it took nearly 2 years to train me for my job, during which time nearly 70% of those who started ending up dropping out of the program. Mind, the Navy only accepted the top 5% of enlisted members into the program, and only the top 5% of those (at that time) were accepted into the submarine service. It is unique in the services, as many of the experts in the various nuclear ratings (machinists, electricians, and reactor operators) were at least the equivalent in intelligence as the officers in charge. Couple that with the small crew sizes, typically less than 150, the usual officer/enlisted relationship is far more casual than the more formal one. Thank you for your reaction and your respect. If you ever get the chance, you should visit the USS Nautilus at the Submarine Museum located in Groton, CT. There you can visit and tour the retired vessel, the first nuclear powered submarine in the world, as well much history of the service. Barring that, I do believe there are several youtube videos of the facility.

You can go to a space that is wide as the sub is , string a line from one side of the room to the other side pull it tight so its level across room , dive and the string starts to droop , the deeper you go the more pronounced the droop becomes , its drooping because the pressure outside is compressing the hull , as you go back up string becomes taught again.

As a kid, I was on a sail boat when one of the Nuclear subs surfaced less than a mile away on it's return to Bangor Sub Base . It was quieter than the sail rigging flapping in the breeze. They ended up contact us because they wanted to know about sailboat we were on because it was a square rigged top-sail ketch at 45'. It had 15 different sails, 12 of which could be used at once. The skipper of the sailboat had grown up on the water before getting drafted to Korea. After 35 years he retired as Colonel and built his dream sailboat. He had a lot of fun talking to them. Sadly you can't get anywhere near that close, even if they were the ones who surfaced near us.

There is more room than you might think on Ohio-class submarines. For instance, in the compartment where the 24 missile tubes are located, sailors can jog around the perimeter of the missile compartment for exercise. Also located in the missile compartment are a pharmacy, exercise equipment, medical services, and enlisted personnel berthing spaces, among much more. When they say every space on the ship is utilized, they are not kidding. No energy goes to waste. Heat removed from fluid “here” for cooling, is exchanged for use “elsewhere” on board the ship for heating purposes. The ship produces the potable water for drinking through reverse osmosis filtration. Although I’ve only been on the USS Maine (SSBN 741) as a commissioned ship, I participated in the new construction of every single one of them, including the USS Florida during the course of a 4 decade career as a defense contract employee. An actual sailor could attest to how much room might be found while underway, I can assure you that while building them it is very cramped as service air (pneumatics), exhaust ventilation, electrical power cables, hydraulics, temporary services requirements, etc, must also enter the interior of the ship, snaking through those logistic & escape trunks that you thought were “narrow”- the vertical cylinders that are the only normal access in and out of the vessels. You saw ABC reporter David Weir climbing up the ladder to the “sail” where the watch was approximately 25-30 feet (6-9 meters) above the waters. I feel privileged to have been able to provide my labor to build in excess of 40 submarines in the new construction phase and worked on others as well in the US States of Connecticut, Virginia, and Georgia. I won’t say more because loose lips sink ships, but there are many excellent books out there to tell you more about historical accomplishments of the submarine service and declassified information regarding missions during the Cold War. One excellent title is “Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage” (ISBN 0-06-103004-X) by Sherry Sontag, Christopher Drew, and Annette Lawrence Drew, published in 1998. It reads like a thriller but is in fact non-fiction. Another book discussing life on board a Trident (Ohio class) submarine from a sailor’s perspective is “Big Red: The Three-Month Voyage of a Trident Nuclear Submarine” (2001) ISBN 0-380-82078-1, a book featuring the crew of the USS Nebraska. And yes, submarines are very cool. I can tell you how much pride I feel when I see a film, a documentary, or other media discussing submarines that I’ve worked on knowing I’ve installed parts others created, and currently creating parts that others are installing. The weight that was mentioned is actually the weight of the water that the submarine “displaces”- pushes out of the way to occupy the same space in the ocean. If you recall what it is like to try to hold a balloon or kick ball underwater at the beach, imagine how difficult it is to get a 590 foot submarine to descend to depth. An enormous amount of lead storage (stowage) is involved to accomplished that feat in order to overcome buoyancy. Interior tanks take on seawater and is transferred internally through piping to tanks for those purpose as needed (forward-aft or athwartship (side to side/port/starboard) for hovering, trim and stability. If you think in terms of “shock absorbers” every machine noise/ vibration is designed to not transfer to the outer hull of the submarine which would travel through the oceans and be detectable on sonar. If you consider that 70% of Earth is covered by water, a ballistic missile submarine can be anywhere or nowhere that you might think. Submarines are euphemistically regarded as the “silent service”. In the case of ballistic missile submarine- they dive deep, and “disappear” acoustically (to sonar detection). So they hide deep and listen only- while remaining undetected between differing temperature layers of water far below sea level. Hunter/killer submarines are (Virginia-class, Seawolf-class, and the older Los Angeles class that Virginia-class subs are built to replace). The “fast attack” submarines (“Hunter/killer subs) go everywhere and listen, listen, listen, for all manner of hostile acoustic transmission, or whale. Sonar personnel are so good at listening that they can recognize/ distinguish sounds emitted by aquatic life vs. marine vessels half a world away. Pinging (use of “active” sonar would reveal a ship’s position half a world away. Sonar detection hydrophones are a key asset lining the bottom of the ocean outside Naval stations in international waters, trying to lock on a signal, identify the source, and try to connect a particular “sound signature to a specific ship” for surveillance purposes, and then followed for days, weeks, or possibly even months by a “Hunter/ killer- fast attack sub”. Anecdotally, when U.S. subs descend below the surface (dive) they “disappear” to acoustic (sonar) detection. That is the technology that ensures the advantage of the U.S. submarines to remain undetected to hostile adversaries. “Nothing to see” underwater per se- no windows, no “screen doors”. Just listening and analyzing all sounds while making none of their own, to remain undetected. As one amateur enthusiast to another, think of the submarine at equilibrium regarding buoyancy. Seawater taken on to the ship in the multiple ballast tanks at the front and back of the submarine allow it to dive as water displaces the air, adding weight allowing it to descend. Think of “plugs” in the high point(s) of those tanks that allow air to escape (when “open”) while diving- as water enters though baffles (that resemble “washboards”) at the bottom of the ballast tanks . To resurface to sea-level, those “plugs” will be closed to allow the tanks to eject water back out through those same lower baffles as air stored in cylinders is pumped into those tanks, displacing the water, allowing the submarine to conduct a controlled ascent back to the surface- which is the opposite of opening the “plugs” which allows the submarine to take on more weight (the seawater) to allow it to “dive”. I hope this over simplified explanation allows you understand the basics of how submarines “work” both at the surface and underwater. The hovering/trim stability (depth) is controlled/maintained/adjusted (fine-tuned”) by the aforementioned transferral between tanks inside the submarine interconnected by piping. The secret (not so secret) advantage that U.S. submarines enjoy comes from their ability to transit the world’s oceans listening always, while remaining undetected to hostile entities. Truly the “Silent Service”. Stealth is the name of the game. I hope this short blurb provides you with a thumbnail sketch of how submarines do what they do.

It's funny to me how you absolutely get it and most just don't - one of the absolute #1 reasons Russia never nuked us or did a 'surprise/decapitation attack' was that they knew to a certainty, that they couldn't stop our submarines. With the exception of the Walker Spy Ring information, which worked two ways, the Russians knew they could never find our SSBNs, and while the Walker and other spies gave them a ton of priceless intel, it also informed them that we were able to track their submarines - pretty much we had a follower trailing each of their SSBNs at all times. So they knew, they could nuke the shit out of us, but they'd be getting it right back in 30 minutes. And so they never did. And also from sunny Florida myself 🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠

FYI, the tonnage of a ocean vessel is not how much the vessel itself weighs. It is the weight of the water it displaces. For a surface ship the displacement can vary slightly depending on whether the ship has a full load. For a submarine, the surface displacement is very different than it's submerged displacement. Yes, Garin, you do know if it's night or day. During daylight hours normal lighting is on inside the boat. During night time hours the boat turns on red lights. You're still able to see, but the red lights do not interrupt the body's normal rhythm's. By using the red lights it allows members of the crew not on night watch to get normal sleep.

One of my cousins was in the Navy for over thirty-five years and did really well with his rankings. The longest he ever spent in a submerged submarine is three months. He never had an issue with it and actually enjoyed it. Maybe because it kept him from his soon-to-be ex-wife at the time, and his extremely wild, troublemaking step-kids. 😄 The only part that was bothersome was when a crew member would go stir crazy, have a panic attack or start to show any signs of serious mental distress, because of being in and down for so long. He said it was the first-timers who went through that. They're trained to know what to expect before going down, but he said it's completely different from being in a training session and being able to say you're done and want out of the simulator after a few hours or a week, vs being in the real thing, knowing you're several feet under water for several weeks, that you can't look out to see land or sky, etc. He said there was one guy so upset that he had to be sedated because he was trying to fight his way out. He said there were a few times when crew members would flip out because they would be counting down the days until they're back home, and suddenly they'd be told they have to stay a few more days, while others would just shrug it off and keep working. I've been inside of a one-man WWII Army tank, and I was about your son's age/size at the time. It was a popular attraction at our county fair. As small as I was, I felt cramped and claustrophobic. I couldn't imagine an adult being inside for hours and hours. I remember the attendant being surprised that I, a little girl wanted to get inside a tank. 🤔 Maybe most or all the other little girls didn't want to or their parents wouldn't let them. Anyway, I grew up with many family members in the military, and had three boyfriends who were in the military, so I've always enjoyed seeing the military equipment. My little brother practically did a swan dive into the tank and didn't want to get out. He wanted to drive it. 😄 When he was a teenager, he decided to join the Air Force as a jet pilot, but the recruiter told him he was too tall and likely still growing. 🙁 He is now a well-respected police Sergeant. 🙂

What you should know is that this is one of the 4 "tame" Ohio class SSGN subs that carries conventional munitions. It was converted back in 2006. The other 14 Ohio class subs are SSBN subs that can each carry more explosive power, in the form of nuclear armed ballistic missiles, than everything used in WWII combined. The SSBN subs, also known as boomers, if fully armed to their capacity could carry about 42% of all of America's nuclear warheads. Although you would never see this in real life as they are almost never armed to full capacity nor are they all deployed at the same time. Like with the aircraft carriers, only a small amount are deployed at any given time while the rest are undergoing repairs, upgrades, or being used for training.

This is a ballistic submarine which is used as a nuclear deterrent. The other type is a fast attack submarine. This submarine is smaller and per form training and missions near the home base to protect the US. One big is to become part of a carrier strike group. The group is composed of numerous ships headed by a carrier. The group would be out for months visiting over see ports. The fast attack submarine would be underwater most of the time to interdict any enemy submarines or surfact ships. Fast attacks also carries Tomahawks for strike missions. BTW US submariners would get insulted if you call the sub a ship like a surface ship. It's a boat.

The only thing that limits a submarines underwater operation time spent is the amount of storage space for food. And if they lowered the quality of food, they could spend much more time under seas. But the food is usually the highest quality in the military because morale is very important when any one submariner can get them all killed if they have a mental break.
@ryanbenton2376 Жыл бұрын
In my experience, the food quality was shit onboard. If you have cooks who care, it can be decent/good. We loaded boxes onboard that read “rejected by Georgia State Prison”. Zero exaggeration.

@@ryanbenton2376 lmao I think it's a requirement that if you served in the military you complained about chow. But I hear that a lot, ours (on submarines) was the best food you can get. Just makes me wonder just how bad the food is on the surface 😲 I was STS3(SS) from 1999 to 2003. from 1999 to 2002, I served on the boat in this video!!! USS Florida SSBN-728. Of course, after I got out, she was converted to SSGN. Still, very nostalgic video for me.🙂

That’s true🤣 although I suspect the food on surface ships are better, because they hit ports frequently and resupply their fresh foods. On the contrary, we rarely got fresh provisions at port, and we’re stuck with easily stored fried foods!

@@ryanbenton2376 "although I suspect the food on surface ships are better, because they hit ports frequently and resupply their fresh foods." I dunno, man. The surface ship is cooking for 400 people, or in the case of a carrier, thousands! Whereas on a submarine, he's (or she, now) only cooking for 120 people! Plus, don't forget the other thing, which is very important: enlisted and officer eat the same meal on a submarine. That's not true on the surface. As much as we all liked to complain, I think we had it good as far as food. I mean, they could have made us eat MREs down there. 😲

The USS Florida is a Ohio-class submarine, it can carry 20 Trident II SLBMs, armed with up to 12 nuclear Warheads each. Or they can carry 154 non-nuclear cruise missiles. At their absolute maximum payload, you're talking upwards of 1.5 Billion Megatons of explosive power if ALL of the Ohio's were completely full of W88 475 KT warheads. That's not how they actually operate though. USS Florida carries cruise missiles and not nuclear warheads.

subs use their sonar to navigate , sense their surroundings underwater, like the under sea mammals like whales , dolphins, porpoises, etc they echo locate by sending out pulses and wait for them to hit something and bounce back. this kind of paints a picture on a sonar screen to visualize their surroundings. They have radar too for when they are on the surface for detecting air threats, and surface ships.
@ryanbenton2376 Жыл бұрын
That’s not entirely true. Going active on sonar allows you to navigate, but going active gives up your location. Submarines rarely go active on Sonar.
@tmcmurdo826 Жыл бұрын
In my three years aboard a submarine, we never once used our active sonar while on patrol. Active sonar is loud and travels for miles through the water, instantly giving away your boat’s location. We used our passive sonar to listen instead. With passive sonar, you quietly listen for what is in the water in your area. Nobody knows you are there.
@mjc1389 Жыл бұрын
A sub doesn’t navigate by sonar per say. It’s a combination of many things to include charts, inertial navigation with gyroscopes, satellite fixes using GPS and even celestial fixes among others. It’s a combination of state of the art technology and the oldest known navigational aides.
