This is fantastic! Thank you 🇺🇸⚓️My son just passed his next phase in his silent service training schedule as a nuclear engineer officer, graduated US Naval Academy '22. So proud of every submariner. The toughest watch on the planet.

My Dad’s older Brother, Uncle Tony was Stationed at Pearl Harbor that infamous Sunday morning on the 7th of December 1941. He survived but lost a lot of Buddies that week. 🇺🇸 We owe our FREEDOM to those who fought {and still fight} against Fascism. Post Script: It was a sad fact of WW2; Korea & S.E. Asia that a lot of Camera 🎥 Men were killed in action doing their duty.

Thank you for his service. Wholeheartedly agree we all must do our part to fight in today's fascist, Marxist, and communist threats. Propaganda is the cancer. My good friend's dad was a dental tech during the Pearl Harbor attack and had to go through the carnage to identify the remains through dental records so they could account for the men lost and notify their next of kin. He never got over that trauma. God bless them all.

Was that Dykers dubbing a line near the end?

The most profound thing I have ever read. "Insert commercial here"

But you can't read.

Is the song at the end based on Comedian Harmonists Song? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWazdHmHqdeagK8

Success came from getting the BuOrd to admit that the Mk.14 torpedo was sinking more submarines than the enemy or if it didn't do that it just knocked gently on the hull of the target ship so as not to disturb the crew too much! Very polite. Personally I think it's because you yanks can't pronounce submariner properly! Get that right & the rest will follow. 😆

George Bernard Shaw said it best: "England and America are two countries separated by the same language". Speaking of pronouncing right, how about how you people across the pond pronounce aluminum and schedule?
