Dedicated to the crew of USS Bluefish.....you so impressed me at 10 years old that I retired from a 688 III flight. Thank you boys! Harry V, Thank you for all those hot rolls on the mid watch!

[@boilerroomed3682]

Such nice cheerful background music for arguably THE MOST LETHAL WEAPON ever developed....

[@williamorton7600]

I was Decomm engineer officer for Sturgeon. What a great ship.👍

[@droid7518]

I love old documentaries. Simple animations make it so easy to understand. Nowadays it’s just people talking to the camera and giving opinions instead of information.

At 25:50, the gentleman on the left is Stanley W Burriss, the director of the Polaris Missile Program, as well as a key player in the development/direction of multiple US nuclear weapons programs.

+64curarine Thank you! You are welcome to comment on our channel!

[@life_with_bernie]

The guy on the right looks a little like one of my old Navy buddy's dad, who was one of the engineers that worked on developing Polaris. Hard to say if it is or it isn't though since my last memory of him was in Norwich, England around Christmas of 1975. Our ship was in Palma, Mallorca for Christmas and my buddy's' family had moved to England when his dad got a job with a shipbuilding company in Belgium. The family was originally from New Orleans. We took leave and flew to England to have Christmas with them.

I served on the USS New York City (SSN 696) from 1984 - 88 as a sonar man. Good times!

[@Chris_at_Home]

My older brother was an STC on the 650 in the early 70s. The VP Squadron I was in did some ops with them in the Med and then we got together in Rota about a year later when I was there. Drank some beers out in town and had a 2am breakfast in the Chiefs mess. A few years later I worked at EB and did some work on the same boat when it was in dry dock.

I pass the USS albacore on my way to work, no joke.

[@uralbob1]

Albacore had twin, vertical crankshaft, radial diesels, mounted side by side. She had electric drive. This boat was a test bed for hull, plane, and screw designs, and carried no weapons or torpedo tubes. The Albacore museum has pics of her different iterations. She went to sea from Electric Boat in Portsmouth only, I believe.

[@uralbob1]

Stop by and see her Zac! Hopefully you can still tour her!

[@Flightstar]

The Polaris submarine was so prolific and abundant that, I remember as a kid, seeing them for sale in the back of Comic books.

[@berylrosenberg704]

Happy that I didn't hear "nuke-you-ler" either! Commander at &t=3:25 looks like Chris Kattan.

[@toomanykats1]

the first missle subs were actually fast attack subs cut in two and the missle compartment welded into place

[@robertrinaldi8748]

Sounds like a big job that requires outstanding welding skills.

[@uralbob1]

Yup. I served on Theodore Roosevelt (SSBN 600).

[@jamesbugbee6812]

Actually the film is more accurate; the cutting was on the blueprint, w/ only some keel material being carried over to the new design.

[@johns1834]

Nice video. I served on the USS Seadragon, which was still pretty old compared to the newer class of submarine.

[@evasuser]

scary stuff, I hope those toys won't be used and probably one day will be abandoned.

[@WootTootZoot]

You could always tell when a Submarine crew had just returned from a deployment, They all had that pudgy, over-fed couch potato look, and couldn't walk a straight line because they were so use to focusing their eyes no farther than four feet away.

[@ssmt2]

That, and the smell. We didn't realize how bad all of our clothes stunk until we got back from patrol and got off the boat. Driving was a bitch for the first couple of days after a 70 day patrol because of the problem with focusing my eyes for a long distance.

A hull designed to withstand depths below 400 ft. Seriously?

[@crankychris2]

The USN always quoted SSN performance as 'greater tha 20 kts, and test depth greater than 400 feet' during the cold war. In fact, the 637 class could dive as deep as 1300 feet and sustain 26 kts, although it's 'silent speed' was much less.

[@ScottHirschman]

@@crankychris2 oh I know, I just thought it was funny the "specs" were started at 400ft. I've read cavitation is less the deeper you go due to the sea pressure, as a result a submarine can maintain silent speed art a higher rate of speed that wouldn't be possible at a shallower depth. Any info on this?

Fed up with the watermark the whole way through these videos... Unsubscibed

[@PeriscopeFilm]

Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous KZbin users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do. Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films!

I find this to be a bogus attempt to underestimate the importance of the USS Albacore. The first bottlenose submarine. Albeit, still a diesel powered boat in the fleet. This video shows both the Nautilus, first among nuclear powered boats; shows some boatyard somewhere while mentioning Albacore, then shows ’ proof of hull design among other advances in submarine warfare.your bias is showing!
