British Couple Reacts to Living Underwater: How Submarines Work

[@charlieeckert4321]

Sharing a bed as described is called "hot racking" (a rack being military slang for a bed) it happens from time to time on surface ships as well.

[@mostlytrue3150]

Well it's pretty much standard, and on deployment when you have 140 people or so the first classes are hotracking too. I know because I was the guy that kept getting kicked from 3mcs rack over to lelts rack, and I am a second class with fish so I can roll over once or twice before getting thrown to the deck in 21 man.

[@mostlytrue3150]

Speaking of getting yeeted out my rack every now and then, these videos really downplay alot of shit. And we had all the teams on board at the time, we had CTs acint riders like we had probably about 150 people and the whole crew was hottracking. They didn't want to have the CTs, or acint riders hotracking. It was bad enough that the cooks were split racking

[@rileyfam]

I'm a retired submarine sailor, loved it! Windows wouldn't matter because there is no light other than near the surface. Boats can't tell where each other are, they are so quiet you'd never hear them. I can't get into how US boats avoid each other, but ideally we do. Great reaction, as always.

Submarines are called boats, ask any sub sailor, and I'm far from a deckhand.

[@rileyfam]

@@jameslingenfelter3468 So what was the last submarine you served on? I didn't think so. 😀

[@stevem2601]

A couple things that need to be pointed out. First, windows on subs. It has nothing to do with reflection of a window. First, there is no need for a window. Why would you have a window? So the submariners can look outside and see fish? No!!!! There is no military need for a window. Also, when a sub is under water there is immense pressure exerted on the sub outer shell. Having a window would only weaken the strength of the subs outer shell. Also, the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) has been around since the early 1950's, so it's nothing new. THE MAD concept is good in that it almost guarantees that a nation will never use nuclear weapons on another country. Why you ask. Well if you have MAD and you, as leader of a nation know if you use nuclear weapons then your own nation will also be destroyed why use them. So, having no winner in a nuclear conflict guarantees no one will use them.

Obviously it isn't used when underwater because it would be useless but you do have windows in the sail of some Russian subs. They use it as a windbreak while navigating on the surface.

[@MrElis420]

@@HikingPNW Makes sense too considering fuck being a lookout on the surface in the open in freezing temps regardless of cold weather gear lol. And if the windows do crack or shatter, so what, it's in the sail and shut off from the main pressure hull.

[@randlebrowne2048]

There is also the fact that its *dark* down there. You couldn't see far enough to make a window useful under most conditions.

[@eaglelove00]

Not all subs have two crews. It depends on the type of sub. Better food, tighter crew, more pay 💰 I HATE when I can’t communicate with my son when he’s on deployment. If a death or horrible thing happens, you call Red Cross and they communicate with the sub. Then, when command can, THEY counsel the Sailor on what happened. The Red Cross was wonderful when my Sailor lost his grandmother.

[@michaelscoggins3503]

I served on a U.S. Navy ASW ship, a Fast Frigate. We did training with attack subs and it was not uncommon for them to be within a few hundred feet from us without being detected. U.S. Subs can be deadly.

[@1OldBuzzard]

The Typhoon wasn't much longer, but it was twice as wide.

[@mattseller148]

And less of it's internal space carries missiles 16 as opossed to 24 and the US missiles are larger, so it has more space for other things. I know a guy who served in the Indian navy and got to go on one during joint drills with Russia in 2008, and he said it was by far the nicest Russian ship in terms of crew comfort with most Russian ships being near unliveable while the Typhoon was like a resort in comparison.

[@slaughterzealibib]

In my head cannon the conversation after a British sub hit a French sub would be like something straight out of Flying Circus.

[@iKvetch558]

Yes, for the most part, the sub changes depth by using its "planes", and like an airplane, points its nose down to dive and up to surface. When the sub dives for the first time after leaving port, they go through a process of using the many ballast tanks and smaller tanks to "trim" the boat to a neutral state of buoyancy. Then they use the planes at the front and back to point the nose of the sub up or down, and then the forward motion of the engine drives the sub to whatever depth they need or want. Unless there is an emergency, or if they are practicing for an emergency, most of the time the sub is submerged at sea the ballast and trim tanks are only operated to adjust the buoyancy to take account for the changes in temperature and salinity in the local water.✌💯

[@neutrino78x]

agree with the exception that if there is a significant change in ordered depth (like, say you're at 200 feet and the OOD says "Dive, make your depth 600 feet"), the Dive does have to work with Chief of the Watch to take on more water and/or push water out, to adjust buoyancy to new ordered depth. That's subtle though. 🙂 I was a submariner too, I was on USS Florida SSBN-728 and USS Asheville SSN-728, from 1999 to 2003.🙂 Rare that we run into each other real life, I think I have only run into one or two fellow submariners in real life and I think it's largely because I go down to southern California several times a year (I live in Silicon Valley). Of course we have Point Loma Naval Submarine Base down there. 🙂

[@miltonpasley3398]

Not Navy but did take NJROTC in High school Sept 1967- June 1970 based on that I would say: There are NO WINDOWS in a Submarine because of pressure, they must be made out of the strongest material available as the water puts 44.5 PSI per 100 feet down you go, so at 800 ft down there is 371.9 PSI on the subs hull, no window material would stand up to that much pressure. Plus the sub has two hulls the inter and outer hulls with water and air in between these hulls so again pressure of the water and air used to let the sub dive and surface.

[@vniesky]

Actually as the food gets worse, it means you have 6 or 7 weeks left on your cruise. I met a some submariners while I served in the Navy. While they loved the extra pay. They felt it was a tough way to make a living. The actual depth the subs can go down to is a closely guarded secret. One former submariner I served with wouldn't tell us, even though we were close friends.The US also uses a communication system with aircraft. There are aircraft flying around that can relay messages to and from the sub

[@pablozee6359]

The lack of communication was tough. I missed two deaths in my family while at sea on submarines. It was always nerve wracking making that first phone call home when you hit a port or returned from a patrol or mission. You never knew if there was going to be bad news. Sometimes you could get good news from a “family gram,” a 25 word text message system before email. Still, it was an incredible job, surrounded by the most the professional (and simultaneously most juvenile & crude) group of men with whom you could hope to serve. Great reaction, and salute to my brothers and now sisters who wear dolphins.

[@halicarnassus8235]

7:40. Yes, Millie We Americans know the psychology of being submerged so deep and so long without sunlight. We do like to encourage our troops to feel like they are at home in a diner style mess hall.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

LOL!! No Windows . . . The reasons no window on modern subs is it is a weak spot on a hull meant to take huge pressures. They try to make as few holes in this type of hull as they can. In the open ocean, there just isn't much to see out a window anyway. And once you are down very far, it is completely dark. Windows on a submarine, like on a ship, would probably be called a porthole.

[@TLL1969]

Lol...yeah I got a kick out of that too. :) But he is TECHNICALLY correct in saying that it would also affect the stealthiness. But pressure is definitely the main consideration. And to think of those Soviet subs that flirted with conning tower windows still amuses me. :)

And while I do hate being in the middle o the water when I can't see the bottom, I'm perfectly fine being deep down in the ocean as long as I am in something like a sub or base. Though I'd really want lighting so I can see whats outside for fun. People don't realize you can't see sun light if your underwater deep enough. Just blackness.

Stealth is one reason sure. But each window is a potential weak point structurally.. in more ways than one. Pressure found there is MENTAL

[@fooddog45]

There are no windows on submarines because of the depths a submarine goes. If you think about it, the deeper down you go in water, the darker it becomes so you wouldn't be able to see anything out of the windows anyways. Also due to the depth, having windows would make the hull less stable and much easier for the sub to be crushed by the water pressure.

[@7bootzy]

I had a buddy in the navy in the 70's (post vietnam) was in the pacific on a resupply vessel (he told me the class but forgot) anyway said a fishing boat started following them, after 3rd day they sounded the alarm. He told me there was nothing anywhere in any direction, less than an hour of the call a sub just pops out of the water, no warning just heard a big splash and there it was, ( fishing ship turned around, was apparently a russian spy ship), about 5 minutes after the sub pops up he said then it looked like traffic jam, ships from every direction just showed up, said it was the most hardcore MERICA moment of his life. Story is they are out there, lot closer than you think, may not see them, but if the entire fleet can show up in the middle of the pacific ocean out of nowhere. especially something like Ukraine, they are there waiting.

There are no windows for a couple of reasons. But a main reason is Pressure glass is weak and cant go down has deep.

[@kokomo9764]

The reason for no windows is the extreme pressure when the subarine is at depth. The pressure would cause the windows to implode ( Blow inward). At 900 meters depth, the pressure 405 psi ( pounds per square inch) vs. 1 psi on the surface. It has nothing to do with detection by reflections from the glass. Since subs only "see" by sound waves light reflections are meaningless. Don't be impressed by the pool in the Russian Typhoon sub. It is 2mx2m and a few feet deep. Frankly, it is creepy. While the Typhoon is the largest sub it is also very noisy and was always easily tracked by American subs when it was in service. Most Typhoons rotted away at docks after the fall of the Soviet Union.

I remember reading something funny once about the Submarine arms race between Russia and the USA. US submarines could hear Russian submarines miles away, so far away that US submarines wouldn't need to be near the Russian coast to know one was coming out of the bay and into the ocean. Conversely, Russian submarines didn't bother trying to listen for US submarines because they were far too quiet. They were so quiet, in fact, that the Russians would ignore sounds entirely and look for areas that were *too* quiet. That quiet spot was most likely the US submarine waiting for them. It might be a true story, might not - either way it's horrifying to think these guys would play cat and mouse with each other in and that they carried nuclear weapons (fun fact, Russian submarines have a nuclear torpedo. The thought behind that was, we don't have to hit the your submarine or aircraft carrier, just get the torpedo close enough and the blast will do the rest).

Part of the reason the Typhoon is the only submarine to have a swimming pool is it's mission. It's not a primary strike, or secondary strike, but a tertiary strike weapon. That means that they were supposed to lie in wait after the second strike hit only to surface and fire the missiles weeks or months later. The thinking was if anything was left they would try to reform the cities and bases so they wanted to make sure it was erased.

I was USN submarines 🙂 Britain uses the Trident SLBM too, they are jointly developed as part of "the special relationship". 🙂 Your missiles, of course, are under the command of His Majesty's Government. 🙂 Big difference is that with a USA submarine, we can't launch without the President's permission because we would not have the launch codes. On British submarines, of course by default they would wait for orders from the PM, but if Britain is destroyed, they have a letter written by the PM giving them their orders as to what to do, "coordinate with US Navy to retaliate", etc. Now personally I've been puzzled...in the USA we have a written Order of Succession that determines who will become President if something happens to the President (such as in a nuclear war). In fact, when the Congress, Supreme Court, and President are all in the Capitol Building, such as during the State of the Union address, one member of the President's cabinet does not attend (it rotates) and is in a remote location, so that, God forbid, something should happen to the Capitol Building, and all those people die, the member of the cabinet who was in a remote location will automatically become President and have control of our nuclear weapons. He or she is called The Designated Survivor. So I always assumed that if something happened to the PM, the Monarch would temporarily take on the role of running the government as well, until a new PM could be chosen and/or an election can be held...but I heard that's not the case and in fact, people have to meet and choose a new PM....is that really true? I mean, if a war is going on, you need a Commander in Chief automatically....surely someone takes over automatically if the PM dies? Beesley, do you know the story on that?

The military OWNS you and gives you everything you need to live and do your job. And that is it. You may be able to get them at ports when you are taking a break but I am not sure.

No, not weddings. Why would a family member schedule a wedding when they know that their brother is going to be deployed on a sub? When something unexpected or not planned happens then it's a problem but not weddings.

Re your Wi-Fi problems, is there a 5G cell tower near your new home? They can cause interruptions of service.

I've always wondered, how do they know which sections of ice are thin enough to break through when rising up, can't be just guessing surly

[@iKvetch558]

A special active sonar that can detect the thin spots.✌💯

Also, both American and Russian subs were specially designed to break through pretty thick sea ice. That is the attack strategy for both nation's ballistic missile submarines.

[@iKvetch558]

@@brianeleighton Soviet/Russian SSBNs have double hulls, and are much more able to surface through the ice to fire their missiles. Soviet/Russian SSBN tactics involve putting their missile subs in bastions under the ice and then guard them with their best SSNs...while US attack subs were designed and trained to go hunt SSBNs under the ice. However, US SSBNs do not have double hulls, and thus the US tactics with their SSBNs involves keeping them far away from anything like underwater canyons or ice or shallow water, since hitting anything is far more troublesome to US SSBNs than double hulled Russians/Soviets. ✌🖖

@@iKvetch558 technically all military subs are double hulled. The outer skin (HY80-HY100 steel depending on class) surrounds an inner pressure hull The ballast tanks and other tanks are located between the outer and inner hull. The Typhoon has 2 pressure hulls (people tanks) side by side covered with a single outer hull. A sub goes through the ice vertically not at an angle. The sail (the part on top that contains the flying bridge and all the masts and antennas) are what initially goes through the ice. Depending on the strength of the steel on the sail is what determines the thickness of ice a sub can break through. In the USN, the Skipjack, Permit and Sturgeon class attack subs had fairly strong sails and could all break through the ice if needed. The Sturgeon class was designed more for this evolution. The Los Angeles class wasn’t necessarily designed to go through the ice as they were primarily carrier escorts. Not sure about the Seawolf and Virginia class. On second thought, I did watch a documentary where a Virginia class did surface through the ice outside of the North Pole observatory so they obviously can. All ballistic missile subs are designed to go through the ice.

[@mjc1389]

Let me clarify. The sub is mostly horizontal under the ice and raises virtually straight up (vertically) through the ice. They go through the ice with a little up angle to protect the screw. That’s why you only usually see the sail sticking through the ice - to protect the screw and sonar dome on front. It also depends on the class and if the “boat” has fairwater planes or bow planes on how they go through the ice. It’s not the safest thing to do on a sub but it’s done for specific operations.

Got to fix this internet if you want to be KZbin content creators. I mean you are obviously making some kind of money from KZbin and you do have Patreon so you have people paying you to watch the lag in your reactions in your new flat.
