The Submarine That Struck Harder Than a Typhoon

[@KCODacey]

26 year Navy veteran. I spent 1 afternoon in a submerged sub. There’s something vital about fresh air.

[@forrestholcomb2621]

20 years Navy. 9 years of that was 637 class Subs. They kept the oxygen level low to prevent fires. When we would surface and ventilate every one perked up. Butane lighters didn't work so I got an electric lighter.

Thank you for your service fellas!

[@steventrostle1825]

My 24 hour experience on a conventional US Navy Submarine included her running below the surface with the snorkel up, and diesel engines running. Waves splashing on the snorkel resulted in it closing for a few seconds then opening back up. All the time the diesel engines were running so the air pressure inside was like climbing to 5000++ feet then suddenly dropping back to sea level, my ears were ringing for weeks after.

8 years in the navy, 4 years aboard the Kamehameha as an A-ganger, fresh air was overrated in my opinion. After all, we made our own o2.

[@KyleWessels-c8z]

I love the military naval history that you research and present. Great idea, presented respectably and honestly. Fascinating profiles, short and sweet.

[@julieputney4317]

Thank you for your videos. I always learn something new

[@chrislong3938]

The recovery videos are amazing!

[@sjb3460]

I read the book about Momson and his detailed experiences. He said that when the rescue bell arrived, they discovered to their horror, that the support cable was badly damaged and frayed in several sections. They had to make an agonizing decision, use the rescue bell and risk losing it or not using it because of the terrible condition the cable was in.

[@michaeloshaughnessy9718]

Such great history content! Keep up the great work.

[@gregmccartney5780]

What a monumentous task achieved when this type of rescue operation was still in its infancy.

[@davidharris6889]

Her sail is on display at the Portsmouth Ship Yard to this day.

[@OL-Tom]

Grew up in Portsmouth, after joining the Navy I didn't want anything to do with submarines. Had a few friends without fathers because of them. My grandmother worked at the shipyard installing radar in the boats during the war.

[@Skindvrs]

Remember the USS Thresher?? Gone without any indication something was wrong..

[@mikebikekite1]

What caused the sub to originally sink? It's also surprising that the sub sank so many ships with the those Mk14 torpedoes as they were supposed to have a failure rate of 50-80%.

[@kevinboothby9928]

The Main Induction Valve didn't close. I believe that the indication panel showed it as closed.

[@VivyX2]

"powerful mk14 torpedos" powerful only if they actually worked wich they ofc didnt

[@DavidSherman-mq2dk]

Caused a lot of dents!

[@Dav1Gv]

@@DavidSherman-mq2dk And scared a lot of US sailors when they ran in circles.

[@DavidSellars-b8l]

The salvage was remarkably similar to the salvage of the sub S-51 lead by Commander Edward Ellsberg

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

Could we change the “breathless” bot to some other software setting ?

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

Yeah it's when you don't click and watch it.

[@auro1986]

does typhoon increase speed of torpedo?

[@marcatteberry1361]

@8:53 How fast is that Jeep going backwards..

[@CandyGirl44]

Why did submarines continually torpedo mortally wounded ships until they sank instead of heading for other ships?

[@mikebikekite1]

Stricken ships can be towed to a nearby port for repairs. With ships like aircraft carriers, you want to remove all chances that the ship will survive. A few extra torpedoes is a small price to pay for removing such an expensive asset. Ships are also much faster than submarines so there was little chance of chasing after other targets. If the other ships want to stay, then thy're likely going to be hunting you rather than the other way round.

[@beebee7834]

Combat SOP; some torpedoed ships could eventually be towed and repaired.

[@peterkruse788]

If they don’t sink then they don’t get credit

[@July41776DedicatedtoTheProposi]

What would the sub do if they knew American sailors were prisoners on the Jap ship?

[@GlennWebster-ut2xx]

Tonnage...

[@Dav1Gv]

A bit like our loss of HMS Thetis in 1939 on her sea trials and she had a lot of workers on board as well as her crew

[@Tammy-un3ql]

👍👍👌👌

[@tyrelgross3052]

I thought ever gato class sub had 10 torpedo tube not 8? Am i wrong on this sub class?

[@kevinboothby9928]

Sargo Class.

This is crazy 100 years ago

[@DawnOfTheDead991]

Ultra? That was for German radio intercepts.

No one cares

Worked on the river quite a while, everyone I know says Pis-Cat-a-kwa

New England accents, then you have the Boston Accent.

[@Nerple]

I live about 25 minutes away and that’s how I know it by.

[@timsindt5245]

Hey, 1 out of 5 worked! They worked if they hit target with a glancing blow! Not like we were at war!

[@FernandoTRA]

Woukd you please, please turn down the volume of the music? Or better yet, not use music anymore.

[@maegenyoungs2591]

Dude is always sounding like his taking a dump..get that thing out! So did it have a hole or open valve because you shouted like 5 separate leaks. It didn’t have a hole, it has a pipe above the engines.

Please stop with the obnoxious video titles. Its impossible to tell what you're videos are about.

[@chancelambert8462]

I like your channel but as usual, I couldn't understand much of what you said. "Somewhereaheadajapaneseconvoyincludingasescortcarrieracruiserandtwodestroyerspressedthroughtheweathertogettotheirdestination." Now follow that without captions?
