Thank You for not adding any music- just natural sounds!

This may be confusing to the uninitiated with no commentary, but one of my favorite captures of SSBN life. Just various ambient noises, cutoff bits of conversations, and candid people just hanging out. I'm a bit nostalgic having left the fleet just two years ago, but I'm also reminded of the insane daily grind of passing between the same sets of tubes for months of a time. It was a great experience, but the repetition really gets to you.

Man just the amount of technology in one of these subs is unimaginable. Truly a modern engineering marvel.

[grantrichardet]

I love how the whole crew congratulated those guys for getting their submariners patch. Makes it feel like a big family!

[markusg.]

I never saw such a comfortable submarine before. There is so much space for the crew.

I served aboard the USS Kentucky SSBN 737 from 2001-2005. I’m not sure how much I can say on a YouTube comment with so many words to say. Had I been wise, I’d have stayed in and retired at the age of 40-41.

I miss and love (a word you don’t hear most submariners say often), everyone I served with aboard that boat during that time. I’ve not seen or heard form any of them since. I hope you’re doing well. You see these guys more than you see you own wife and kids. You hate them and love them at the same time.

I often think about going back, but I digress.

There were no women serving aboard subs at that time. That’s not a negative comment just a statement.

This video didn’t show any sonar but, it can’t be shown due to being classified. You could hear the Tach-9 (I may have miss labeled it, it’s been 14 years) going off at one point. That sound haunts you and never leaves you after you’ve spent years hearing it.

I could say more but it’s late and I have my 3 year old asleep in my arms.

To those I served with if you ever read this. I wish you all the best.

To Senior Chief Boyle, I hope I run into you again some day. I still have your microwave that you gave my wife and I when we first moved to on base housing and literally had nothing but a bed and a car. The dang thing was built in 1972 and still works great.

The engineering involved in building these these boats is unfathomable to me. Hell I struggle assembling a shower caddy.

[kilokslr]

These are a very special breed of men and women! No room for mistakes on a sub. The degree of trust between these good people is unparalleled.

[captainzeb]

Looks to me like a submarine is the ultimate example of brotherhood, fellowship and teamwork.

[jimsteele]

I'm stunned by the level of sound in some of these spaces. Makes me marvel at the tech that keeps these boats quiet to an outside vessel.

[musicever]

This brings back memories. I was on the USS Pennsylvania SSBN 735 submarine, and even though I didn't serve on the submarine shown in this video, it's mostly similar to the one I served on.

[normanbrunt]

It's an amazing thing that you can be warm and comfortable while cruising around at the bottom of the sea. For me the compressed sleeping accommodation would take a lot of getting used to.

[cjn]

A vessel that just works and the station staff just input and all works..amazingly wonderful

[billyceroli]

Thanks to everyone who served, and are serving. Love all you guys.

[jamesyu]

Such a responsibility carrying the ballistic missiles. Salute to these professionals of the best navy in the world. You Braves keep the world at peace ~

[martindavis]

I live in Wyoming. God Bless the USS WYOMING and all who sail in her.

[meow]

So natural video, yet professional. Without background music and narration. I love it

[alfedoas]

Sending deepest condolences and prayers to all the crews of Submarine KRI Nanggala 402 sailors and their families. Rest in peace brave sailors. They didn’t die they commenced their final mission to guard the seas for eternity 🤲🏻🇲🇨

[Vsor]

I love the beeps and tones that thing makes.
