Inside the Navy's Newest Nuclear Submarine PCU Minnesota. Part 1 of 2

[@sw6716]

After serving in the U.S Submariner force for 20yrs, it is a hard, long hours, isolating and appreciation for everything you have because once we go out, we leave a lot of those luxury things behind.

[@ventroxii561]

She is asking those questions for a reason so that they don’t give away any classified information. If you really want to know what goes on inside a US Navy submarine, then join the navy.

What comes across is the businesslike manner and professionalism of the crew...they are a credit to the US.

[@mikegallegos7]

Go Navy. Go Submarines.

[@itsumonihon]

Guys, while we all wish she asked more interesting questions, there is a reason she is not asking them - it's extremely classified information. Trying to get information, especially current, up to date information, out of submariners is an exercise in futility, they just can't and won't say anything.

[@sunev8380]

Yup.

[@rrrogster]

Exactly right.

[@cyloncommander2901]

Nice! I like the interior of the sub! xD

[@pikkuporsas]

The first 45 seconds of this video really shows how quiet these modern subs are .

[@richardburtonjr1889]

Thats noisy ! It hasent been "commissioned" yet so thier still noisy.

[@AviationNut]

Submariners also glow in the dark, but they couldn't show it because it's classified.

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

Sadly that’s probably true because that happens at civilian nuclear power plants

[@gabriellamar2683]

Great video. so much of subs are classified, this was a nice inside look!

[@richardburtonjr1889]

All they did was "crack the door open" and peek in ! If it was the "yellow brick road of 60 miles" this entire video is less then a first half step.

[@tolimpia]

The Eh Team so the humans are nuclear powered like say hello to someone and then he explodes with a nuclear explosion

[@joshuaericilac]

The Eh Team LMAO THERE are alot of things not nuclear powered on all nuclear subs ... 3 defense items not nuclear powered ..1 missile tubes 2 torpedo tubes 3 surface self defense weapons . internal defense ... the fire suppression system in the galley ..... other things not nuclear powered the hydraulics ... the ballast tanks that hold the water when the sub dives and releases it when it rises to the surface... do I have to say more

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

Every atom in the universe is nuclear powered. :-)

[@herymunanto1367]

Thank you for your sharing video. So I know inside life in the submarine

[@ExUSSailor]

If it's PCU, it's not the Navy's yet. It still belongs to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics. The Navy doesn't officially take full ownership until the commissioning.

[@silverelk13]

Interesting, cool little fact there

[@richardburtonjr1889]

[@Radienleo]

Gosh i sure hop there is no water leaks of some nature like hitting something, getting rid of all those turning valves and analog switches looks like a lot of short circuits and black screens. I hope there is backups! Push the buttons on the screens sure fine high tech, i get it... but sometimes old stuff is best when mixed with water emergencies or fires??..

[@GainingDespair]

Just crazy the amount of power that's needed to move so much water at that speed.

For the actual valve operator devices, I’m guessing they would be brushless dc motors for super quiet operation.

do your ears ring or pop inside the sub when under water? How deep or the deepest sub dive?

No. Classified.

Being submerged for six months at a time is incredible. I really dont think that is something that I would want to so however.

What is PCU?

[@25icehockey]

It's not a ship. Stop calling it that. Subs are boats. Get it right

[@apossemiers]

To Brandon: Read this and remember how it's called in proper English: When I grow up I want to be a sailorman and go to sea. I'll wear gold braid upon my coat and never call a ship a boat

[@tekcomputers]

Technically, it's a ship in normal English usage of the term. However in submariner parlance the submarine is "the boat".

[@scottleeper5645]

nice ship

[@SaltiDawg2008]

You're a moron. In Submarine parlance or vernacular it is sometimes a Ship and sometimes a Boat. Examples: Rig Ship For Dive, Rig Ship For Surface, Rig Ship for Lady Visitors., Submerge the Ship, Rig Ship for Collision, etc..... Two Inches Pressure in the Boat.

[@ronelaugustin7484]

no audio at all

[@p.e.i.man-canada-1372]

Are we expected to believe that, with a crew of 120+ people in this class sub, that they will be fed out of the kitchen for 6 month deployments? In one month that is 10800 meals alone. No way in fuck does that sub have the shear space for that.

[@aatmaparmatma6979]

[@Alpha-Alpha]

I wonder why they use so much wood furnishing in the subs. I thought it would be more aluminium pr stainless steel cabinets etc

[@andymac4883]

I wonder if it might be a morale thing. People are cooped up in that little metal tube for what, six months at a time? Wood furnishings are probably nicer to be around for that long than metal.

You'l l notice the background is very dark while interviewing the lt. I think that's on purpose.

Just asking, are you being genuine with your question? Somethings are very basic and fine, other parts of submarine are top secret (probably parts of engine, anything to do with how a sub stays audibly stealth, how a sub detects other subs.)

[@robertsilva8097]

I like the US Navy ships of the 1940s but one ship is my number one favorite besides the USS Missouri BB 63 I believe this one ship is the longest u.s. commissioned ship ever I believe it's called the USS Constitution known as Old Ironside I believe that's the name

[@daveware4117]

Question for the sub guys out there. Out side of upgrades that get incorperated in the building span of a class of subs, do they really "wear out". Let me try to explain my question a little better. The los angles class (688) fast attack subs were built basicly 1 at a time from the early 80s to the mid 90s as far as i can tell from open source info. Im sure in that time, many advances in electronics, computers, sonar, powerplants, ext, ext were made. For a guy that knows nothing, like me, it seems that these type of tech upgrades could simply be put into the first sub to come out of a class, rather than retiring the boat. Yet, it looks like(acording to wiki) that subs are retired even at the same time(in some cases) that new subs of the same class are being commisioned. This dosnt make sence to me. I guess my question, with out asking for any kind of classified info would be.....Do they just wear out? Is there some kinda service life on the hull? What is it like serving on an old submarine vs a new one of the same class. Once again, not asking for top secrete info here, just a basic understanding.

After seeing so many Submarine videos, I think I may want to try to get into being a submariner. If I can get into the Navy first. Besides tight living quarters, which I'm not all to keen on, but with 6 hour of work time, then 6 hours of study, doesn't sound all that bad.

First, go spend three days "by yourself" including bottled water and prepackaged food inside a 4x8 bathroom with NO windows and only use a DIM light to work by. Sleep on only a 30x68 space, 2" thick mat with NO TV OR INTERNET ! -- Then once you did that, do it again (DONT LEAVE THE ROOM) for an entire week straight, then two weeks straight, as this will best prepare you for submariner service.
