History of Submarines (ASMR Bedtime Story)

In this soft spoken talk, we explore how the dream of making vehicles able to travel underwater became reality. I also tell you about how submarines were used in wars, from the American Civil War to WW2 and the Battle of the Atlantic.

Je vous ai découvert grâce aux abonnements de let's find out , et ce fut une des meilleures découvertes que l'Asmr m'ait offerte , plonger dans les tendres abysses du savoir tout en se noyant entre les bras de Morphée fut une combinaison en or pour moi toutes ces dernières semaines grâce à vos vidéos . Continuez s'il vous plaît à créer ces petites merveilles , il n'y a pas suffisamment de mots pour les apprécier .

Thank you for knowing your voice is a gift to us. You are the mother, father, brother, grandparents. You are the times long lost that were simpler and warm. You are the candlelight guiding us home. You’re the blanket when we have no shelter from the cold. You are so appreciated. In this vastness of time and space as we understand them- you’re a constant. ✨

20,000 Leagues Under The Seas by Jules Verne was my favorite book as a child. I read it many times. Amazingly fascinating story written in 1870s!

[@aliceralph23]

This channel is my refuge. You are an angel in disguise! Thank you for your hard work and wonderful content that helps so many of us!

Its raining outside, just got done playing a space flight sim thats actually a submarine sim in disguise, and this pops up. Perf. ❤

I would love another history of war for tanks, battleships, and airplanes. I’m a huge historian for war machines
