Voted America's Most Realistic Submarine Documentary Movie

Why you guys call is a 'ship'

Back when you could smoke on submarines

Where u goin? Im not sure they wont tell me! 😂

* It was said, "There is room for anything on a submarine - except errors!"*

Adm McKee interviewed me for subs in 1987. First year after Rickover retired. He asked me about rowing crew at the Academy. I explained that I was not the best athlete and only rowed in the third boat. He then asked "So you stuck with crew all 4 years and never made it higher?" "Yes Sir" He had no other questions. It was a test of resolve. Fortunately, I was much better at technical stuff than rowing. Ha Ha. I wonder if Rixkover would have let me in

Spent 3.5 yrs on a 688 class.. same as featured in this documentary ..USS Boston SSN 703...I'm glad I served.. sometimes I miss being at sea..

Double hull redundant design::: H.G. Rickover

Thank you David!!

It is funny to see guys dressed in dungarees and officers dressed in khakis reading familygrams. This never happened when I was on a boat. Poopie suits would have been worn.

I always thought a steel tube full of semen was called a syringe 💉

Absolutely, excellent!

Wouldn't want to do it. Was offered it but turned it down

Run Silent Run Deep Movie 1958 is on You Tube.

Richard Compton Hall. Respect.

I was a P3 Orion acoustic operator, but I worked at IUSS (SOSUS) twice. Working with the subsurface sonar techs was interesting.

A interesting coincidence this is the USS Hyman Rickover. a documentary on a nuclear submarine in a sub that had the Father of the Nuclear Navy´s name on it.

that america doesn't exist anymore, if you watch sailors nowadays

Interesting they banned smoking.
As a aircraft mechanic i always hated working on large jets where smoking was ok as all the interior parts would get covered inside and out in a sticky brown goo, it made maintenance just that much harder, so I'd imagine a submarine would be similar.

I982 royal navy viva malvnas 😉😁😁

Just a great documentary about some really brave men in those subs...takes special men to be submariners!!!

You couldn’t get me into one of those things on top of the water, let alone submerged! I tried to get through this but I kept getting more and more claustrophobic just imagining being underwater. I have no idea how people stand it.

I didnt know Ferris Bueller became a submarine skipper

I don’t miss the Navy …. I miss being a Submariner like hell though

where in this video is the part about the sonar? or the launch drill? or is that a different documentary? thanks

And now its soon real war . So sad

I will never forget the years spent on a submarine. A part of me wants to go back. I knew myself then. At least the version of me that worked in the Navy. I had lost everything that took with me to the boat. What was left was someone who lived to work. I had no happiness or comfort. But it was simpler. I miss it.

Smoking in a sub is crazy.

By chance through a family member I had the distinct honor of meeting a gentleman who was a commanding officer on this boat.

Mesmerizing. I could watch documentaries like this all day.

I've sometimes wondered if the Navy ever puts small or normal size people on subs. One of my dad's friends was probably 240 lbs and 6'3" and was a sub crew member in WWII. Years later a man I worked with left the company to join the Navy. He was a sub crew member. Yeah, he was also about 6'2" and 230 lbs.

😊

Even though I served in the United States military myself in another branch, I totally understand and respect any sailor who served the silent service.

I was stationed in Charleston doing boomer patrols as a sonarman out of Kings Bay when this was made. This is a really good film. I'm surprised at how much access they gave the filmmakers. We were still heavy into the Cold War. This really hits home. Thanks for making it available. I never saw it before.

Wow…. So many memories stirred up. And yes I’d do it all again

I sleep well at night thanks to you fine men and women.

first manned mission to mars will be comprised of ex-submariners

RIP Tom Clancy!

Lucky, film crew!

Would not get me into one! Button up in a tank in combat with RPG‘s on the side of the road. 50 caliber on a CH 46 in combat.
Never! Never could get me into one of those undersea things!!!! God bless them!

I feel we have the best. My fear is American politicians have betrayed US.

I will never forget deploying on the USS Tarawa LHA1 on my first Westpac in 1986, while watching as we left port I watched as our submarine submerged, never to be seen again until 6 months later as our battle group returned it came to the surface, I'm so happy that I wasn't a bubblehead...

You made this shortly after the Senior Chief at Nulcear Power School asked me to volunteer for subs and I said I wouldn't go on a ship that sinks on purpose.

Senior Chief was not really amused. But nobody asked me to go on subs again.

i thought that movie was "Down Periscope".

SSN 678/SDVT2. SSBN 731 (B)

I served 20 years in the Fleet Ballistic Missile (SSBN) submarine force as a Missile Technician and retired in 1993. It's true what the narrator said at the end of the documentary.....submariners may retire from the submarine service but they will always be submariners.
