Life Inside US $4 Billion Nuclear Submarine. Inside Kitchen and Sleeping Rooms

Living and working underwater. Life at sea onboard a submarine is unlike anything else on this planet. Sailors onboard a submarine live and work for months in a tight undersea world. In this cramped space where they work they also cook, eat, sleep and shower.

Total respect for those that work inside a sub. Hats off to them. You have to be of a certain mind set. I couldn't do it.

[johnshelby]

I spent 4 years USMC Infantry and loved it. You couldn't pay me enough to be on a sub. Im fairly tough but I would seriously have a break down being that confined. I get freaked out in tight spaces!. Hats off to them

[Alex-nrxb]

The logistics of storing and using that much food is just amazing

[Johnthedagger]

Did three submarine tours as enlisted and then deep submergence program and sub tender tours as an officer. It's not for everyone, but you meet the smartest and most dedicated ppl in the submarine force, conduct operations you'll never be able to talk about or forget, and meet men you'll be friends with for the rest of your life. Will probably always be the thing I'm most proud of and have unbelievable memories of the accomplishments and hard work that we did

[DecommMan]

Nothing but respect for these men and women. Go Navy !!

[splender]

These subs have come a long way but it takes someone special I know I would freak out being stuck inside something that is so deep under the water. Its almost like being buried alive. I am grateful for these men and women doing this its a big sacrifice and my hat is off to them!!

I served on the USS Baltimore SSN-704 back in the late ‘80s. It was quite the experience.

[ericericson]

I served on a diesel/electric World War II vintage boat from 1966-72. Watching this video was like a biplane pilot watching Top Gun!

[valeriapintacuda]

I can't breathe just by watching this video 🌹

[flman]

My son is currently in the pipeline, graduates BESS this coming week, then he'll be in "A" school for a few months. He'll celebrate his 20th birthday on his first boat. Hooyah Navy.

My Father was a Navy man. When I was young, he took us on a tour of a Navy sub -- I'll never forget the experience, but this video gives a much better perspective of our subs. Thanks!

I was a cook on the USS West Virginia ssbn736 gold. This brings back a lot of memories! Of course in 1998 cell phones weren't even an issue- when we were able to get a family gram it was pretty short and printed put and given to us. I see some differences with more computers being utilized in some areas on-board, but really not much else. Best food in the navy and then some!

Brother was on SSBN-741 for five years. He loved it.

[TheASSedoTV]

I worked as a seaman. I loved it. But seeing a vessel with no portholes freaks me out 😬😨
Thank you for this incredible video, Sir!

[minhafamilianaamerica]

Holy, This is one of the best videos of submarines I have found, thank you!

Also its soo crazy how tight the bunking beds are!

[charleswomack]

Can’t imagine being over 6’ tall and serving in such cramped quarters.

[yoloswaggins]

These guys definitely have to have discipline and unity to get along and function in such a tiny space. Imagine if guys had beef, that sub would turn into a cage match.

“Hot Racking” not “Hot Bunking.” I’m a retired Chief Hospital Corpsman with twenty one years in service under my belt. And yes, submariners eat like kings in a toilet paper roll. It beats the MREs and vacutainers which feed me for so many years on the Green side (i.e. U.S. Marines).

[ArtFreeman]

I was a rider on submarines and surface ships. I agree that submarines have the best food in the Navy.

Fun fact: Soviet era Typhoon class submarines were so massive they had a sauna and swimming pool inside! I couldn't believe my eyes when I learned about this (it was a Russian documentary on submarines from the very early 2000s). Some Typhoons even had a video game console installed!
