How to Make Pizza on a Submarine - Smarter Every Day 246

[@smartereveryday]

I don't know why... but this was one of my favorite videos from the Deep Dive Series. It's so... personal and real. I had no idea that food is literally THE limiting factor on a submarine's ability to dive. Also, I had no idea meals were such a big deal for morale (Ice Cream on Waffles totally works by the way). I have an email list here if you'd like to get an email when I upload a video: www.smartereveryday.com/email-list Thank you to those who have recently chosen to support Smarter Every Day on Patreon ( www.patreon.com/smartereveryday ) . You're awesome, and I hope you have received your baseball! I've been seeing a lot of posts on twitter of people showing me photos of their baseball and it's awesome!!

[@deusexaethera]

You don't get to serve on a submarine unless you love the job and take pride in your work. The conditions are so grueling and psychologically degrading that there's no room for anyone who halfasses any aspect of their lives. Those people wash out quickly because the stress and depression are too much. Looking at the captain, I can see in his eyes that his brain has no serotonin left, and the only thing keeping him going is how much he loves captaining a submarine.

[@matty6848]

@@deusexaethera if these have it tough imagine those poor guys who served on the U boats in WW2? At least modern submarines are bigger and more spacious inside, in fact their huge compared to those U boats. Most of the crew didn’t even have proper beds too sleep in, they slept in hammocks above the torpedoes.

[@deusexaethera]

I had a patient come to the ER back in early 2019. He was a cook on a nuclear submarine. He was recently separated from the Navy, and back home working at a bakery that has a Breakfast/Lunch cafe. I asked him what he enjoyed making the most and he said he loved making drumstick ice cream from scratch for everyone on board. He even added the chocolate at the end of the cone! I think about that our encounter and I enjoy telling his story. I spent his entire ER visit with him. We talked about food and reminisced on past deployments (it was an early Sunday morning and the patient census was low). He truly loved cooking and was eager to update the menu at the bakery/cafe he was working at. About 3 weeks ago, I took a look at the bakery’s Breakfast/Lunch menu and it is completely revamped. I hope that was a part of his doing and passion. He was someone who was truly remarkable.

High calories they do work out in the sub too

[@robinfrenzy]

@Doble T matutino 420 lack of vegetables is unhealthy though

[@lyravain6304]

Fried foods are tasty, relatively quick to make and can fill people up quickly. Considering the limited space, it makes sense in a way to depend so much on deep friers and high-protein, high-carb foods. Even more so considering that most veggies would go bad on a month-long trip. Unlike most other restaurants, you can't pop out to a cash&carry to get some extra carrots because your old ones got mouldy. And considering veggies take up more space for a smaller caloric intake, well... Unhealthy, but it works.

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

I used to think that the importance that was given to chefs and cooks on submarines and ships was a bit overblown...until I actually started working with submariners and sailors on long patrols. When options for fun are limited, food becomes FAR more important to people. A good meal makes everything seem better, a bad one stays with you and does have an impact on your performance as well as your mood.

[@Blessedup69]

People underestimate the power of nutrition

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

@@Blessedup69 I certainly did: working in places like Seattle, San Francisco, Sydney and throughout the best parts of Asia meant that superb quality food was available readily and at every price point. You start to assume what is globally exceptional cuisine being the standard for everyone. Until you are in a situation when its not, and then you really look forward to that pizza, the bacon and eggs and the like. I really hope that when the Columbia class next gen SLBM is finalised, the designers put a lot of emphasis on both crew ergonomics, recreational space and the space dedicated to food storage and preparation. I humbly recommend that in addition to controlled temperature storage, they put equal emphasis on controlling humidity, CO2/ethylene gases and allow for segmenting the same, which will permit much longer storage of different fresh foods, including fruits and vegetables). It know this may sound a bit like those $20,000 hammers of the 1980s Pentagon procurement fame, but those guys in that tin can for 60+ days under the sea will be grateful and perform better for longer.

Sometimes I eat it every day ;) Small pizza from one large cup of four. It is trivial to do, and after a month of practice (or two), you will make it as good as in a pizzeria. You have to bake a dough with everything but cheese, and then add cheese for the last 2 minutes, otherwise, it will burn and the crust won't be as crunchy. The pizzas on the video are not as healthy, with tons of cheese and salami, not great! Americana style I guess. On the flip side, they have bigger threats on the nuclear submarine ;)

I know the crew is supposed to maintain operational security but sometimes tidbits can slip out. At 5:51, the Chief says that they have 180 on board and then immediately corrects himself and says 140, but can have up to 180. That would mean that, at times, the sub has 40 extra bodies on board. 40 is almost the number of a Marine platoon, or two to three SEAL teams. So. the USS Toledo is most likely outfitted for Special Ops teams and their equipment, as well as scientists studying the Arctic.

[@Luis-be9mi]

Well at the start of the patrol the food is THE best, you can tell normally whether or not you're getting close to the end of the patrol. Here is how I kept track. 1. For the first or second week we had fresh food i.e. fresh bread, fresh eggs, fruits and vegetables. 2. At the end of the second but often times first week, the fresh eggs is gone and I have to start opening cans of powdered eggs. 3. After a few more weeks there is no more fresh vegetables, i.e. no more peeling of potatoes or cutting up of vegetables. Instead I have to start using the can openers all the time now. 4. At week 7 is when we cooks have to get really creative, all food are now coming out of cans. And all the meat have freezer burn, dessert is often times just plain old jello. 5. For me we never went past 60-70 days away from port, if we did then then I better start doing some black magic in order to make something not only edible but tasty as well. I also learned after my first patrol to have at least one or two small jars of Jif peanut butter hidden in my bag. Sailors would trade you ANYTHING for a spoonful of tasty peanut butter on crackers. The one thing we NEVER ran out of is coffee

[@jaredragland4707]

Everybody's got a specialty. Machinist mates keep the boat from killing everyone; mess cooks keep everyone from killing each other.

[@ramal5708]

After chow, I always come up to the galley/mess counter and say "chow is great, thx" to show my appreciation to the cooks

[@fuzzfacelogic789]

Well, definitely no place to shirk it.

[@w.reidripley1968]

It gets to the point where the crew guys get wild over the fresh frozen broccoli:"Ooh, trees 🌳! I can totally DO some trees!" And he got some more broccoli.

[@Romulan007]

Thank you so much for this video! As a Chef I can really appreciate what these men do. I love how you present it and it's such a feel good series about life on board a submarine. Right now I'm dealing with a nasty cold, day 4, and just watching this made me feel better. You're awesome man...keep up the great work!!!

Random locker in kitchen with sign: "Warning! Radiation Area" Would love to hear what Gordon Ramsey has to say about submarine kitchen safety. xD

[@jokeassasin7733]

If Gordon Ramsey spent time on a sub, he would probably starve.

[@extrastuff9463]

Bonus sterilisation going on! It's already cold but gives those pesky microbes less of a chance. In all honesty it's probably because it doesn't matter much for an area living beings don't need to spend a lot of time in. The mess hall (and thus also their storage) was pretty close to the reactor in that diagram early on, it might cut down on extra bulk and weight spent on shielding by putting such a room that only limited time is spent in between the reactor and regular crew locations.

[@heathhooper3699]

@@extrastuff9463 The freeze and chill boxes are just forward of the athwartships passageway aft of crew mess that leads to the engine room, like 5 of 6 feet forward of the secondary shield on the forward end of the reactor compartment. Everything aft of the crews mess is marked as a radiation area just so you know how long you are allowed to spend in those areas, and where you are required to wear your radiation monitoring devices. The amount of radiation exposure you get on a submarine underway is so ridiculously low thats it basically not even worth talking about. Case in point, I retired after 20 years as a submarine engineering chief, and my last 6 month deployment, standing watch in the engine room, I got about the equivalent of a single chest x-ray of exposure.

Military movies being watched by military personnel is always dicey. You pick apart so much. I still enjoy them for what they are. Though there are times where my brother and I will audibly groan at something shown incorrectly. Good times.

[@TheNONnoobXD]

At the end of the video I didn't even realize I was smiling the entire time. I love your videos Destin. You're such a kindhearted and wonderful person in the way you present yourself and how you're open to new ideas and so many other things. Your ad recommendations mean more to me than anyone else's. A while back you did one for Hello Fresh and you showed your wife cooking it and your family eating it and you talked about how much you genuinely enjoy the service. Another time with Raycon earbuds you actually showed yourself using them and said how much you like them. It totally flipped my perception of the earbuds. If Destin says they're good, they probably are! Your content has inspired me so much to be open minded and learn new things, every time I see you pop up in my notifications I know it's going to be a good day. P.S I also love your appearance in other youtuber's videos, like the recent video from Veritasium about how gravity isn't a force. Stay great

The amazing thing is the fact that every single thing in this submarine was carefully engineered with silence and combat ability in mind. This machines are amazing. The difference between WW2 U-Boat and modern ones is that in WW2 the people had to live around the machine in the moderns it’s the other way round.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Youd think that, but with all that kitchen equipment its no wonder they get detected in exercises all the time. ;)

[@patrickmclaughlin61]

@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Nuclear subs are detected all the time because of the fact that they are nuclear. There are pumps running continually to provide cooling water for the reactor. They are nothing like the good ole diesel/electric.

[@senpaichicken9408]

@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi All machinery on board is tested for acoustics and is almost always isolated from the hull by rubber shock absorbers. I would bet that mixer has rubber standoffs where it mounts to the deck plate. All tested at NSWC’s in noise isolation chambers.

Step 1 For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste . Step 2 For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed. Step 3 Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.) Step 4 Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans. Step 5 For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese. Step 6 Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

I prefer to let my dough sit in the fridge for about a week so it smells like alcohol from the fermentation. It makes the dough incredibly stretchy and you always have dough ready

One of my brothers (now deceased) was career NAVY...served many years on the USS HALIBUT...his job was to run and maintain the reactor. As a former professional cake decorator, I am interested in how they clean up, from meal prep to washing crew dishes. What happens to food waste? Packaging waste? Thank you for posting your informative videos...and thank you for having respect for, both those you interview and those who view your videos! Much appreciated!

The more I see of this series the more I respect submariners and the more I understand why people talk about learning from them for long term manned space missions. The technologies and circumstances might not be identical but the human factors are. You can really see the similarities here with how they handle intersection to food and morale on both submarines and on the ISS. Balancing what they need, what they can store and prepare, what's good for morale. Its fascinating.

[@naminoms872]

I just wanted to say that this is my favorite video series on KZbin, I revisit it over and over again. I find it both entertaining and educational to see what these men and women go through on a day to day basis, everything from when/what they eat to how they submerge/emerge. I didn't really know anything about how Submarines actually work before I watched these, but it's been such an enlightening series. Thank you so much to Destin, ICEX, the crew of the Toledo and every member of the armed services for what they do.
