Your comments on the difficulty of being on a submarine for 6 months or more are valid in that it's a difficult life. But I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam commanding 34 Marines which was way understrength for a year in combat. Submarines are alleged to have the best food in the Navy because of their 6 months under water and cramped living spaces and very long hours. But I spent a year in Vietnam leading a platoon of 18-19 year old Marines in coastal pines, rice paddies, mountains, jungles, and elephant grass/dense terrain. It was a hard year. I lost too many KIA and WIA. Field rations (C-Rations) were horrible, one Ration had to last 2-3 days because ammo was far more important than food, and we filled canteens with whatever water might be available (no bottled water in those days). Our uniforms rotted off of us. No one wore skivvies (aka underwear) or socks as they were just more clothes that had to be dried every day. Resupply wasn't dependable due to weather, terrain, or enemy threats. Don't get me wrong. I would rather be a platoon commander in combat than a crew member on a submarine. At least at times I could enjoy the blue sky, fresh air, and the fact that I had some control over if we lived or died. What I meant is that when the submarine is mortally damaged, the entire crew goes down. When I was in intense firefights, I had casualties but my entire platoon didn't die. Different strokes for different folks. I wouldn't want to be a tanker because a moving foxhole attacks the eye of the enemy. I wouldn't want to be a fighter pilot because I have poor eyesight and for some perverse reason I prefer to be in close contact with the enemy where I can hold them by the belt and kill they with whatever I might happen to have. In close ground combat, you never run out of ways to kill someone. In the air you run out of missiles and bullets, and then you have to retreat. Anyway, it takes a team of Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Coast Guard and Space Force to win. God bless them all.

The Sturgeon-class USS Narwhal, SSN-671, was in my squadron, SUBRON 4, in Charleston, SC. The prototype reactor had a natural circulation S5G reactor plant, therefore, not running the reactor cooling pumps in the lower power ranges, made the boat much quieter than running the pumps at higher speeds. This ingenious design was installed and improved in many follow-on classes. OUTSTANDING ENGINEERING!

Brother in law was a nuc on them. He loved it, a lot more then shore duty. I won't recommend videos but I'd look into the Poseidon torpedo (russia's newest doomsday toy), the Akula submarine (russian), the Typhoon submarine (russia's 3rd wave ballistic nuke), the Virginia class, the Seawolf class(my personal favorite), and the Borei class. I don't know enough about UK and French subs to suggest anything. There are a lot of diesel electrics used by the european nations. In some ways the diesel electric subs are more dangerous - they're louder when they use the diesel to run the generators but they are quieter then a nuclear sub when on battery power. The Kilo class is the most common russian diesel electric boat. The Kilo is still being built - they've been in production since the 70s.

[@tripsixx5802]

When I was a kid my brother was stationed at Norfolk and he took me out to a pier to see a few subs and at 8 or 9 they didn’t look like much as mostly all you see is the conning tower, in comparison to the carriers and destroyers, looking back it’s just more of how stealthily they hide their true capabilities!

I served aboard a Lafayette class fleet ballistic missile submarine during the cold war. The USS John Adams SSBN 620. One of the "41 for freedom".

[@yankee_tango]

The Ohio class ballistic submarine was designed to carry 24 Trident missiles, the original order was for 24 subs in this class. A total of 18 were built and the remaining 6 were cancelled. Currently 4 Ohio's have been converted into SSGN (guided missile) submarines, the remaining 14 are still nuclear capable and carry 24 Trident II D5 missiles each carrying 12 MIRV's. The really scary thing about the submarine fleets is that the military does not know exactly where they are once they submerge, communication is one way, meaning that they receive messages and send out nothing so they do not betray their location. This is something I bring up constantly when folks talk about China going to war with us, they have no clue where these subs are at plus they have no counter for them. They do not have ballistic submarines as quiet as the Ohio, it can cruise at 20 knots and not be heard that is some scary technology. The Russians were and still are nervous about them because they know they could be anywhere off their coast and launch their weapons, upon order of the President, and eliminate their Command and Control personnel. Just think 14 missile subs, with 24 missiles containing 12 MIRV's the utter destruction they could bring upon a country and the world.

How deep they can go is also classified. When I was on my sub back in the mid 2000's. Whenever we would have guests or tourists come on board for tours, we had covers that would go over all the gauges at the helm station along with other stations so they couldn't see how deep the gauges went.

I served on Fast Attack subs in the mid 1960's. As to "size" the human animal is adaptive. The longer you are aboard or in a smaller space the more "normal" it feels. Your vision gets use to seeing in shorter ranges. Those "little" spaces get larger. After having been aboard for several years I took leave and went home for 2 weeks. On coming back I was shocked as to the small size but I readapted quickly and things returned to "normal". I loved being in submarines and wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I'd about give anything to go back to sea for a few days and make some dives and surfaces before I die. My first and last dives and surfaces were on WW II vintage subs. The last in 1969. The bulk of my time was on a Nuc Fast Attack.

[@beesnestna9544]

3:21 Destroy a country?! Each individual submarine is easily capable of vaporizing dozens of countries and/or entire continents. Each sub carries 20-24 launch tubes and each missile carries between 8 - *12 (*12 on the latest Trident II) individually targeted nuclear warheads. Each of the (240 to 288) individually targeted warheads is about 5 to10x more powerful than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The subs that carry Tomahawk Cruise Missile carry 7 missiles per tube for a total of 154. Tomahawks are capable of carrying either conventional or (5 or 150 kilotons) nuclear warheads. A single Ohio Class Submarine can devastate Russia, China, India or all three in a single blow. According to historical (published) reports, US nuclear subs have been capable of underwater speeds between 33 to 35 knots, but a friend of mine who was a submariner (in the early 80s), while not divulging the top speed of the sub he was assigned to, told me they can go a lot faster than that.😯

[@Rhizomorphius-vz4bj]

I'd hate to be out fishing one day and tie on to one of these things. I bet they put up a pretty good fight.

[@BMF6889]

With regard to the speed of a US submarine, it depends on where it is operating. In very deep waters, it is alleged that it can exceed 20 knots. But since an aircraft carrier can maintain 30 knots, I have to assume that the submarines protecting a carrier strike group at 30 plus knots can keep up with it.. But if one or more submarines are far in front of the carrier strike group then perhaps they don't need to match the carrier's speed. In other words, a submerged submarine can only communicate with the rest of the world, and vice versa via very low frequency (VLF) radio waves. There are only a few places in the world that can communicate via VLF. Also another factor is how much a submarine can interface with other tactical data collectors while submerged. That is either difficult or impossible because such communications capabilities would be classified if it were possible.

[@susancrouthamel760]

[@panzerrat]

[@77marioland]

Top speed depends on being able to stay stealthy, the faster you want to go the deeper you need to dive to keep from cavitation. I may be wrong but that is what I've gathered from different sources.

[@gmradio2436]

Top speed and top speed while undetected are two different requirements. Sounds like a overly technical difference, but the Cold War was a hell of an era.

[@joseolmeda1334]

US Military technology will evolve to make a submarine carrier where unmanned drones will be launched from underneath the ocean and piloted by pilots on the submarine, kind of like using flight simulators but for real. Drones will also be used to deliver surprise undetected air strikes that no one will see coming until it's too late. It's obvious that Drones are the future of weaponry and submarines will be adapted to carry drones. Drones weapons systems will make the ballistic missles obsolete in the next 2 to 3 decades as technology is vastly being pushed in this realm.

"Ensuring that any nuclear attack on the United States will not go unpunished" is really the key to these subs. It doesn't matter how fast or how hard somebody can theoretically hit us; these are the guaranteed nuclear retaliatory strike waiting in their future. It is what keeps the MAD principle in place and makes the use of a nuclear weapon less likely in the first place. Not knowing for sure how many there are, how many are on patrol, how fast they can travel, all just makes it even more impossible to ever think you could get away without retaliation.

[@andrewj9831]

FYI, the Royal Navy has several submarines that carry Trident Missiles. The UK builds its own sub and warheads, but they buy the Trident missiles from the US. Trident missiles are loaded on subs and serviced at the Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic, located at Kings Bay, Georgia. There was a somewhat amusing incident a few years back. An RN sub [I won't identify it, but it was in a quite few news reports] was in Kings Bay to have its missiles serviced. The Crew broke quarantine and went foraging for booze and strips clubs. Some of them were up to 200 miles away in Florida. Unfortunately, they also managed to find COVID.

Never served on a submarine, but I was in the Navy for ten years. And, actually, my last ship's primary mission was a sub hunter. Given that it was one of the few at the time equipped with a towed array sonar, we were called a "tail ship". That towed array was a mile long cable with a sonar array at the end. The cable separated the sensors from the ships own noise. For me, a surface ship was cramped enough and lacking enough in any sense of personal space, I wouldn't want to think about serving on a submarine. Especially, if they still "hot rack" it as I've heard in the past. Hot racking means two shifts share the same rack. When one is working, the other is sleeping in it. Hence the name. You're always sleeping in a rack still warm from the other guy. That's one thing we never did on a surface ship. One of the key deterrents, as I understand, with the submarines is that not only are they stealthy and hard to find, even their command only has a general idea of where they actually are at any given point. They purposely go "hide" in the ocean, even from their own command. Nobody knows precisely where they are, except the crew (or maybe just parts of the crew). Which means, there's no intelligence to be compromised giving away those locations. Which means, even with a full scale first strike with no warning on the US, those subs with all those missiles will still be there to respond. So, yeah, if one of those nukes ever launches, world changing chaos will have already started before that.
