50 Insane Submarine Facts That WIll Shock You

Do you know these 50 submarine facts?
The US Navy's submarine force is known as the Silent Service- quiet, deadly, and utterly secretive, they represent everything that makes these weapons of battle the most feared by sailors on the high seas. With nations around the world fielding submarines ranging in size from half of that of an aircraft carrier to barely the length of a school bus, these undersea terrors are as versatile as they are deadly.
Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show - today we're taking a look at 50 incredible facts about the history, development, and deployment of submarines.

The coolest thing about subs for me... is that they taste so darn good with white bread, roast beef, lettuce, onion and mayo. All served in a little deli; that piles ON the BEEF... unlike corporate food places that DO NOT! My gosh, if you go into a place (I will just call bun-way) you get 90% bun and like 10% meat. You have to pay a whole buck for 1extra slice of meat! Also: It's meat that has been processed like crazy, shipped to us over sea's & frozen for MONTHS before we eat it! NO thank you...

It's the truth... Trident missiles and their mirvs account for about half the entire nuclear arsenal of the country.. this is on purpose because of the stealthiness , survivability, and endurance of the subs they are aboard... They are only limited by the amount of food they can carry for the crew... They set sail in secret, remain in secret sitting silently is strategic places around the world. And can reach any place on earth. And in all out nuclear war, are likely the only surviving military assets ... In nuclear war all effort will be to neutralize the opposing countries ability to retalliate .. China and Russia both have long known the location of our minutemen silos.. airplane delivery is fraught with danger due to radar, and other ways to see them coming.. that's why so.much emphasis is put on the b2 spirits stealth capabilities.. this make nuclear missile attack subs the most deadly, reliable, survivable and likely to be used means of attack in nuclear confrontation

"Recovered portion of the forward hull" *Casually picking the entire back of the sub*

That whole part of the video was mixed up. The Russian K-129 laid one the floor as 1 piece, and the CIA mission was designed to grab the entire sub, but when lifiting, some of the "claw" made to grab it broke, which in turn snaped the k-129 into a lopsided half. They were only able to recover that forward part that the claw device was still able to fully support.

But at the entrance of the river, there was a coastal defense artillery base (Fort Stevens) which they needed to get past. They started firing at the around the area with its 3 inch deck gun. The fort chose to not return fire and go lights out as to not give away its position. The submarine eventually gave up and turned around. During the incident, there were no casualties and the only thing destroyed was part of a baseball field.

No, the Turtle wasn't the first of it's class. Along history many other had done similar machines. The first working submarine as we know it today was the one built up bu Isaac Peral in 1888. He solved all the problems of the submarine machinery of that time. He designed an underwater navigation system, he designed the torpedo launching system using a german tube and he also solved the propulsion question by using 2 electrical engines powered by batteries. Al the previous ones like the Turtle worked on pedals or had to be towed. The first working submarine wasn' t american, it was made in Spain. Oh, and I forgot this. He made the ship as silent as possible becouse he thought that the enemy could find it by it's noise. He did this before the invention of the sonar, he was a great visionary.

In WW2, the Kriegsmarine with its U~boats was the most successfuly navy in Altlantic, sinking over 14,1 milion tones of merchant shipping plus attack warships. I think this is cool too.

[@pigboat659g6]

So They could not stop the flow of goods. SO .NO they were not the most successful, because they could not complete their mission. Now in the Pacific, Our subs completely cut off Japan. Mission complete. Lost 52 subs. Germany Mission failed lost 784 subs. Successful, I don't think so. COOL, Death and destruction ??? your an ass.

[@ioandascalu8533]

@@pigboat659g6 The Royal Navy was far superior beside Japan, is not like in the movies, Japan didn't know how to fight, if you search deep you will find out that Yamato, went down the ocean without firing a single shell with the biggest guns in the history.

[@ioandascalu8533]

@@pigboat659g6 Don't think I am stupid, I am a USA suporter too but face to face, u-boats would have crushed the american subs as they had better technology and way better crew. And you are right, they didn't stopped the shipping but in the Atlantic Theater the concentration of merchants was enormus, if 2 convoys had to unite, meant almost 500 ships plus way more destroyers and anti submarine warfare ships

14:44 - Bayview's not so secret to anyone living in the area. Heck, there was a bunch of press when they constructed and launched the Cutthroat LSV-2 used in developing the Virginia Class. Dunno where the video came up with the BS about a "secret passage to the ocean"... They do screw research, anechoic material research, and flow noise research on scale models IIRC. One of the acoustic engineers did a career day presentation at my high school.

[@leecupp2573]

I was expecting more facts on the German subs in WW2. Like for example, the Type-21 class being the first true submarine and becomes the basis for all modern subs.

[@apolloaero]

So you mean the first modern sub. Or the template for all future subs. Germans were crazy with their engineering skills and creativity back then. The British too in some other areas, the US had a lot of catching up to do.

[@aslamnurfikri7640]

HulKevin the first modern submarine was USS Holland because it has torpedo tubes and powered by gasoline engine and electric motor. Type 21 becomes template of modern submarines because it's the first submarine designed to be faster underwater than on surface. Previous subs were faster on the surface

[@ssu7653]

@@aslamnurfikri7640 So the previous subs, were boats that didnt just sinkwhen going under water. Where the Type21 was made to move SUBmerged?

Typ XXI not Type 21, Japan named theyr stuff like Type 21, Germany not. The Typ XXI was the first real submarine, designed to operate mainly submerged, all other where surface vessles capable to dive

Hello. As a retired Submarine sonar tech I find most of your facts correct. I can't tell you which ones are not but that's okay you wouldn't believe me anyway. Good job. By the way, we had the best food in the Navy, most of the cooks go on to work at the White House.

[@Hoshimaru57]

The Nautilus is located in Groton, CT. I’ve been there a couple times, and my girlfriend’s father was a submariner at one point so she lived on the base right next to it when she was young and would often visit the sub. As a result she considers it a safe place in the same way I consider the USS Massachusetts one, having grown up frequently visiting the battleship in Fall River.

[@soulessshadow5356]

I can definitely understand that sentiment. I feel the same way about the USS Texas as I grew up just a mile or so down the road from her and often during summer spent A LOT(more than I probably should have) of time roaming around her decks, playing on her deck guns, and exploring the inside of her hull. I feel like to this day I could step inside the USS Texas and tour guide the whole thing effectively haha. I love that beautiful beast and I feel at home inside her legendary hull. I'm so glad they finally took her to be repaired, and honestly I'd love to see her put in dock with the USS Cavalia and USS Stewart at Seawolf Park on Pelican Island, Galveston. She'll be taken better care of for there than anywhere else as they've done a good job at keeping the Cavalia and Stewart looking great.

[@Itried20takennames]

Fun fact: During the Cold War, Soviet subs would do a move called the “Crazy Ivan” in which they would suddenly put the sub in full reverse to discourage US subs from following. Another fun fact, some Russian sub (maybe others) have hot tubs inside for the crew.

Russian Navy's Typhoon Class submarine is the largest submarine not Akula Class. 2nd apart from British sinking German submarine, Indian submarine also sunk PNS Gazai during 1971 war

[@Ahmazzan]

He's correct, blame the NATO naming system - the Russian name for the Typhoon class is Akula. And the Russian name for the Akula class is Shchuka (meaning pike). Helpful, isn't it!

[@craftpaint1644]

Akula was the Russian name. NATO called them Typhoon.

[@uoky23]

well you're right about the akula but when it comes to the PNS Gazai it's fate remains disputed among india and pakistan with neither attributing it's sinking to a submarine rather the indian destroyer Rajput or internal explosions caused buy the crew as said by pakistan

[@speedpiet887]

@Siti Mufida Hasana Not really, he gave the stats 113 meters in length of the Akula attack sub (nato designation) not the nato named Typhoon- soviet named Akula.

[@briantdt]

@Siti Mufida Hasana No, because he gave the length of 372ft. Our Ohio Class is 560Ft. Red flags should have gone off for them at 372ft....
