Been there. Done that. The Commanding Officer and the Executive Officer generally observed a standard 24 hour cycle. The rest of us, officers and enlisted crew alike, stood a 1 in 3 watch rotation of six hours on and twelve hours off.

Geez the kitchen looked huge. Almost like it was video from an aircraft carrier..

My husband served in the navy 22 years and all of those years he was either under the water or talking about going under the water. While we were dating he joined the Navy Submarine Reserve to keep from being drafted into the Army. He was called to active duty during the Cuban Missle Crisis. He went on a diesel boat in Florida. He then was recommended to go to Nuclear Power School so that he could be on the newer subs. He graduated from the schools required and was assigned to a fast attack sub. When his time was up on that and was given the opportunity to go to a FBM, he refused. He loved his fast attack subs. It made him feel special, I guess, I don’t know. We got married in between all of this and had children. As I said he retired after 22 years and then worked at the shipyard repairing them. Until he retired again. I went on two Dependents’ Cruises. Submarines are not meant to ride the surface of the water. I was dreading when they dived the first time. When the horn sounded and the words, “Dive! Dive! Dive!, ” we spoken my heart stopped. They shut the hatches, and we started down, but when we breathed the air that the ship generated, it was wonderful. It was like going down on a smooth elevator and the air was the cleanest air I had ever breathed. It was great! Of course all the men that served on the ship were not on board. Only the crew needed to conduct business. We never really left our waters. My only complaint was the bathroom. It didn’t operate like a regular bathroom. My husband prepared me for that. The food served on the submarine is very good. I remember when we first got married and I was eating baloney sandwiches for lunch, he would come home later and tell me about the number of lobster tails he had eaten and he made sure to eat one for me, too. They have some of the best cooks. At least back then. The other thing that was very special was because fast attacks have only one crew, the men are especially close because their lives depend on each other doing their job! Of course there were a couple of a**holes but even they were in check when out to sea. There weren’t any women on subs back in those days. Being a spouse of a Submariner was not on my list of things to do when I was young and planning my life. At times it was difficult because he was gone so much. Fast attacks has the schedules of any surface ship. There were six month patrols and then three months here and two weeks there. I’m glad we had our children late in our marriage. As it is my oldest child doesn’t remember him much for the first 5 years of her life. He retired when she was 8 and our youngest was 2. They had Dad home for the most important parts of their life. I got to me some people who are very important part of my life now and I would never have gotten to meet them if we had not been a Navy family. There were ups and downs but I don’t regret any part of it. It made us enjoy our times together better. We are a very close knit family! 😄❤️🇺🇸

There are two kinds of boats in the Navy. Submarines and targets.

[MariselaDominguez-mm]

My son is currently on a submarine. I thank active and inactive submarines for their courage, sacrifices and service. May y'all be blessed.

[hawgryder]

While I'll agree the environment is cramped it is positively spacious in comparison to the WW2 submarines. I saw one in Charleston, SC and don't see how they men could have lived like that for weeks. We've come a long way.

[FrankF-vppt]

Teamwork and comradery is key to dealing with the stresses of submarine duty. I know I couldn't do the job but want to thank those that do. Thank you.

[stevenvamplew]

You are showing a trade in summering are used to build them at general dynamics. In fact, I built the first Sea Wolf that the Navy purchased as an attack submarine, the Sea Wolf.

[RHill]

Good videos, one thing I can guarantee is that every one of them will talk about the food on the ship.

Being in those tight spaces would freak me out….
