They call the burnt candle a clinker because it resembles the burnt coal when forging. In the bottom of the forge, there is a trap, so the gas line doesn't get clogged. And it clinks when cleaning the trap. So, the debris is called clinkers. Amazing as usual. Thanks for taking us along.

[@havenstapleton1450]

This was my exact thought! ‘Somebody’s been a trainer before!’

[@scissorbeaksgames8208]

Submarine service is a training environment. Formal training is held weekly for every division. Informal training is held daily on every watch. Chiefs train their group, the more qualified watchstanders within that group then train everyone else who comes to them for assistance. It is very much hands on training but just as much of it is theoretical in nature. Everyone learns to teach their job to the new unqualified guys coming aboard. Every individual develops into a trainer/teacher. The more we train our shipmates to do their job, the more opportunity we have to learn more advanced tasks. The civilian job sector could learn a lot from this method.

[@havenstapleton1450]

Having transitioned to the civilian workforce, I couldn’t agree more. I was happy to have a good job but not pleased to have very little guidance for complex tasks.

[@marcusarygmail]

As a former sailor, this was fun to watch. Never served on a sub but we had all the same systems on the ship too.

[@rbran]

I've got a couple of observations: 1. I feel like the CO2 Scrubbing mechanism is more similar to how our circulatory systems work, where our lungs maximize gas exchange between our blood and air, just like the sprayer tower. 2. The heat exchanger is probably not just for pre-heating the rich amine but is also for cooling the lean amine coming out of the boiler stripper. Considering that dissolving a gas into a liquid is optimal with a cooler liquid, as well as the fact that you dont want too much amine in the fresh air, the hot amine coming out needs to be cooled down, and why not cool it down by heating other stuff up?

[@dylangergutierrez]

"we're low on oxygen, we gotta burn these candles so we don't suffocate" "Oh neat, before you do that can I get a quick interview?"

You can't really do something with this information, but I just wanted to tell you that there is somebody out there who kind of understands what you were doing :p

[@uralbob1]

As a former submarine “A Ganger”, I loved this trip down memory lane! My old Geo Washington Class SSBN, the Theodore Roosevelt had different (older style) equipment, but it all worked the same way. Our monitoring equip was analog, of course. Also, our refrigerant was R-12, dichlorodiflouro methane. It was much more dangerous than R-134, and is no longer used.

[@Tampahop]

Hehehe... I was an electrician aboard the USS Robert E. Lee (SSBN-601)blue. I made 6 Polaris deterrent patrols and was aboard when we made the last Polaris patrol ever. It's also when I became a Golden Shellback. 😁 This was definitely a trip down memory lane. To anyone who hasn't lived aboard a submarine, it is about as close as you will come to being aboard a spacecraft with one big difference. Everything you do has to overcome the pressure of seawater. This pressure can be significant as you go deeper.

The reason why they are called clinkers is because of the sound that is made when they cool down, same thing happens when you burn coal, you also get glass/silicate and ash as the byproduct with coal.

It was used to heat a huge church house by the way, it was pretty good.

Quick chemistry tip: Don’t make chlorine gas

[@jasonhenley1985]

I did once, I cleaned the toilet and forgot I had another cleaner already in the toilet. I realised my mistake as soon as the liquid hit the toilet. My toilet didn't have a window at the time either.

[@joseywales3789]

@ 7th Boss, this was one of the hazards of Diesel Electric Submarines (Diesel Engines turn Generators... The Generators, Generate Electricity ... the Electricity is stored in the batteries... the electricity from the batteries is used to propel the submarine via the main motors,) A flood or even a small leak into the battery compartment had the potential to cause Chlorine gas. Sea water is used as ballast and the deeper the Submarines goes, the more pressure of the external sea water. This is one of the reasons that a mine exploding close to a Submarine had the potential to sink the submarine. The explosion would cause cracks in pipe work or break flanges and sea water would rush in, sea water then acts as ballast and the submarine sinks uncontrollably, sea water gets into the battery compartment causing the batteries to produce chlorine gas and shorting out the batteries causing loss of power to the main motors and no propulsion. The deeper that the Submarine sinks, the more seawater floods in because of the pressure and the more concentrated the toxic air/gas within the Submarine becomes. All in all , it's a nasty way to die. 785 German U-Boats, 52 U.S. Navy Submarines, 79 British Royal Navy Submarines and 128 Japanese Navy Submarines were lost/sunk during World War II. The total loss of all Submarines in WWII is estimated at 1,482 not including mini or midget submarines!
