Why US Navy Sailors STOPPED Jumping Off $4 BILLION Largest Submarine

[@nunyabeeswax9463]

US Navy Vet EW2 1980-84. In bootcamp I watched the movie on submarine service. It was a no brainer to say say no freaken way. Props and admiration to men (and women) who do. It's nice that modern sailors are much more connected with what's happening at home and in the world. 45 years ago , I remember mail call. It was a moment during a deployment the whole crew shared with joy. I may be old school but I'm now old enough to know that ignorance is bliss. I personally believe it would suck to know what's going on at home. 45 years ago I didn't need the distraction during the Cold War, I would hate the distraction in a hot war...... Just saying....

I saw the same (maybe) film one of the best times of my life 1970 USS Tecumseh SSBN 628 Gold than the Kamehameha SSBN 642 a a short trip on the Whale SSN 632. Great men great times as a young Man got out at 21 . Now 71 miss them. I still Dream.

I've wondered...with so many submarines traveling in oceans...being so quiet...ever collide with one another?

[@navyproductions]

That's a great question! Submarines are designed to operate in secrecy and avoid detection, which means they're constantly navigating to avoid not only threats but also each other. The Navy uses a combination of advanced sonar systems, strict protocols, and regular communication to ensure submarines stay at safe distances from one another. Collisions are rare, but given how much traffic there is underwater, the risk is always present. However, the Navy’s procedures and technology work hard to minimize that risk and ensure submarines can safely coexist beneath the waves!

It takes out of the ordinary people to volunteer for sub duty

[@navyproductions]

Absolutely, it takes a special kind of person to volunteer for submarine duty! The isolation, pressure, and intense environment make it one of the toughest assignments in the Navy. These sailors show incredible resilience and dedication, and their commitment to serving in such a high-stakes environment is truly remarkable. It’s not something most people could handle, but that’s what makes them extraordinary!

[@RichardWilliams-wl7fk]

These are reasons why sub service is voluntary

[@kerry-j4m]

I didn't know any of this information,so glad I served about aircraft-carriers. LOL. Sub duty isn't for every one,but,I do wonder does any one ever wild-out on a sub ?? And what do they do if some one does ???

After showing swim call on a submarine, you failed to support your advertisement.

Thanks!

[@navyproductions]

You're very welcome! 😊

[@RichardWilliams-wl7fk]

I learned a lot from a cousin that was in the sub service

[@navyproductions]

That's awesome! Having a family member who’s been in the sub service must give you a unique perspective on life aboard a submarine. There's so much to learn from those who have firsthand experience-they truly understand what it’s like to face those challenges every day. Thanks for sharing that connection!

USS DIXON AS-37 79-81 Point Loma Ca. 81 moored in Diego Garcia harbor tending Submarines and surface warcraft during the Iranian hostage issue. 82 aboard the USS FORRESTAL CV-59 Mayport Fl. Made Mediterranean/Indian Ocean deployment via the Suez Canal out n back swatting Kadfi's Migs. Cruised close enough to fly a fallen shipmate to Diego Garcia for transfer stateside.

[@navyproductions]

What an incredible experience! It sounds like you served through some truly historic moments. Tending submarines and surface warcraft during the Iranian hostage crisis, then being aboard the USS Forrestal and participating in operations near Libya-those are experiences not many can speak to. It’s amazing how you were involved in so many critical missions. Thanks for sharing your service with us, and for your dedication during those intense times!

This are the reasons why sub service is voluntary and scary

[@lancomedic]

Why were there so many British sailers on a US sub? Also why were the Blue Angels on a sub? 12:03 Or did you just run out of B roll?

Got my dolphins in 1974 on the Ulysses S. Grant SSBN-631

[@SouthObeauty]

Thank you sir, much respect

[@navyproductions]

That's awesome! Earning your dolphins is a huge accomplishment, and doing it on the Ulysses S. Grant makes it even more special. Thanks for sharing that-your dedication and service really stand out!

[@johnnolen8338]

Congratulations. I know what it takes to earn those. My best friend's dad was an ETN on Fast Attacks back in the '60s.

Google earth Diego Garcia

[@navyproductions]

Great suggestion! Diego Garcia is a fascinating place, with its strategic importance in military operations and beautiful, remote location in the Indian Ocean. You can really get a sense of its significance by checking it out on Google Earth! It’s always interesting to explore such unique locations virtually. Thanks for pointing that out!
