I served 3 years on a Canadian Oberon class diesel submarine during the cold war. At the time, it was the quietest boat in the world.

We got along great. It was at the old Wardroom at Stadacona. A crime against Canadian heritage to destroy that building, and the O-boats for that matter. Their replacements are absolutely useless.

I was at a nuclear symposium once in which Edward Teller was easily the number one speaker. What was interesting was that he refused to take oral questions from the audience. We had to write our questions on paper and pass it to the aisles where it was picked up. Dr Teller then went through the questions and answered those he chose to answer. My guess was that it was because of the controversy involving his testimony at the hearing in which Oppenheimer lost his security clearance.

Everything connected to and having anything to do with the submarine technology, is regarded highly classified and top secret by the US Navy. The only other segment of the military technology that receives the similar level of secrecy, is the development of classified stealth bombers and 6th gen fighters by the US Air Force. It is thought that the US holds a significant edge over our adversaries in the submarine technology, and has been for the last 70 years... In the last 20-25 years US Navy's capability and proficiency in an anti submarine warfare has atrophied somewhat which is understandable given the lack of a clear near peer adversary in the sub surface warfare domain. US Navy is aware of this and have started to invest heavily in the training and war gaming to bring our submariners back at the top.. Of course a few new types of technologies are being developed too, from the use of the UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles), to anti torpedo torpedoes, and last but not least the preliminary work on the next generation of the fast attack submarines (SSN(X)) that will start to replace the Virginia class in mid 2030s. SSN(X) are gonna be much more similar to the Seawolf class, being optimized for the deep bluie water anti submarine warfare in contrast to Virginia class that was (in the line with the times) more optimized for the littoral warfare and ground attack. SSN(X) will have 8 torpedo tubes (Virginia has 6), be larger, more expensive and, what's most important - much more deadlier to an enemy's surface fleet.

John Craven is a true American

[@artbobik3516]

I found this very interesting and more true than "Blind Mans Bluff" which had a lot of errors in it __I still remember the chart table from my sub school visit to the Nautilus when it was still commissioned in the winter of 63-64 - I reported aboard the SSBN-635 on April 10, 1964 (I was seventeen yrs old) and completed the new construction, all sea trials and commissioning - we had to many seaman and they ask for volunteers to transfer to another boat and like the fool that I was I excepted and reported aboard the SSN-603 on April 10, 1965 - biggest mistake of my life due to an abusive Chief (also an ex Nautilus sailor) like the step father I joined to Navy to get away from as soon as I turned 17 and my mother signed the form - I wish I could tell you some of the Russian encounters we had -

"We have prepared for all eventualities, we have contingencies in place to deal with anything that the Seafloor can throw at us, a Seafloor we feel confident we can understand, a Seafloor we have the equipment to handle, the NR1 is ready Sir..." And.....they drive it over the edge of a Seafloor cliff...!?

To the gentleman speaking around 32 minutes in, I recognize that the tactics may have come across as harsh to the professionals in the industry but at the same time the tactics worked. Reagan put the Soviet under extreme pressure and they broke.

[@ronemtae3468]

Later on it was believed that the Soviets wanted to purposely beach the submarine and then be taken into Swedish custody where at some point they would refuse to return to the Soviet union

I served on a boomer in the 80s,good times for a yng man .

I just watched Crimson Tide last night !! Cool that this popped up 😎

Complete coincidence 😅 or the phone enjoyed it too.

Way too many commercials.

[@rcsontag]

The so-called "Guppy class of US submarines were not "new", just redesigned fleet submarines.

[@hlf_coder6272]

They talk as if Reagan’s approach was dangerous when history has already proven it was entirely successful. Overwhelmingly so

[@Swodie_Jeetin]

Yeah overwhelmingly successful at setting us on the course toward a new cold war and a much more dangerous geopolitical situation than we might have had otherwise.

[@alanfishell1438]

As soon as Reagan took office he gave the military a raise in pay and brought back the Battleships! We were ready for war. Unlike today.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Reagan’s strategy was correct. There was no working anti ballistic missile system. But he did have enough to scare Gorbachev with technology claims. Soviet hubris finished the USSR as a geopolitical power. The real mistakes came in the 1990s when Russia was left to its own devices and corruption, endemic in communist regimes, became the normal way of life. Putin trying to turn back the Soviet clock should be no surprise. But nobody wanted to know.

[@ChristopherLydon-p1t]

I agree with that statement

[@williamsullivan3702]

That 50 cal butterfly triggered machine gun shown is the longest serving weapon in the US military. The MA DEUCE has been around since WW1.

[@MaleWingDiver]

Life on the nautilus was the furthest thing from luxurious. Comments like those show how out of touch civilian historians are with military history.

[@lightningmcqueen181]

Why would a US Submarine Commander risk sinking his own Submarine killing his Crew by RAMMING another Submarine & Potentially rupturing his own hull?! Potentially rupturing his own hull and NOT breaching the Russian Sub?! That's absurd

[@keithwilde1348]

I hope viewers of this video are smart enough to separate Russian people away from the current Putin agenda and his supporters. The Russian populace wants putin to continue living on a remote island

[@LehySnek]

Death by water terrifies me, I could never

[@kevg3320]

There are many worse ways to die. On a submarine, relatively quick, mostly!

[@Del-Canada]

26:15 from Wikipedia. Johnson Sea Link accident; In 1973, during a seemingly routine dive off Key West, the Johnson Sea Link was trapped for over 24 hours in the wreckage of the destroyer USS Fred T. Berry, which had been sunk to create an artificial reef. Although the submersible was eventually recovered by the rescue vessel A.B. Wood II, two of the four occupants died of carbon dioxide poisoning - 31-year-old Edwin Clayton Link, the son of Edwin Link, and 51-year-old diver Albert Dennison Stover. The submersible's pilot, Archibald "Jock" Menzies, and ichthyologist Robert Meek survived.[5][6][7][8][9] Over the next two years, Edwin Link designed an unmanned Cabled Observation and Rescue Device (CORD) that could free a trapped submersible

[@Del-Canada]

Only 2 of the 4 crew died in that accident. Not the whole crew like he stated.

[@UnitSe7en]

Started watching and thought we were about to get some Pink Floyd at 6 seconds. lol.

[@raylp4751]

All I would say is All submariners are brothers of the deep! We may try to sink and destroy each other but we understand the life. Mostvof us have a quirky sence of dark humour

[@thomasdillon7761]

Nautilus and her sister ship Seawolf were the type 21 u-boat layout with nuclear propulsion. I'm glad this video points that out since many people don't know about the type -21.

[@s.porter8646]

What boat you qualify on

[@davidanderson650]

Love hearing about the u boat

[@anthonylowder6687]

The Skate was of a different class than the Nautilus

[@jerrymcdaniel4539]

So how many US service men died from “training accidents”?

[@jhosk]

Anytime you hear training accident don't believe it

Not me. I served on 5 subs and glad the younger folks are now on patrol.
