There are tons of interesting career opportunities out there that I never knew about:
The US Navy has several options such as engineer, pilot, submariner, logistics, accountant, medical doctor, and even Public Affairs specialist. I continue to be impressed by people that I meed who spent time in the Navy. I worked with various people during the course of filming this video and they were all top notch. www.navy.com/

Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I'd also like to thank the US Navy Public Affairs Officers who helped coordinate this. After clearing the video for OPSEC, they did not limit my creativity in anyway whatsoever. I decided to make a video about the Command Structure on the submarine so we had a better foundation moving forward in the Submarine Deep Dive. This video is just the beginning! I have some incredible things to show you as a part of the deep dive. Please consider subscribing for those. I'm most grateful to people who go the extra mile and support Smarter Every Day on Patreon. It's a super big deal because it brings stability to Smarter Every Day in ways that's hard to describe. In this case, I had to buy a plane ticket to the Arctic on relatively short notice. If you'd like to become a Patron, I'd greatly appreciate it. The link is here: www.patreon.com/smartereveryday
Dude above me is right
It’s here! The review is finished!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I have looked forward to this with enormous anticipation!!!
More than awesome
Maybe you could allow viewers add subtitles? I'd love to make Polish ones 😍
“THIS is the USS Toledo.... I’m going to show it’s quirks and features, then take for a drive and give it a Doug score.”
Underrated comment HAHAHAHA
Omg of all places for a doug demuro refrences destins channel is the place i least expected it Well done😂
Logan Taylor , in hindsight, I should have said “take it for a dive”. lol
haha Demuro reference. The youtube comments shine again!
Man this has to be on the YoutTube comments hall of fame !!! LOL
I love how one week Destin is interviewing the captain of a nuclear submarine and a couple weeks ago he was interviewing a guy that runs a weed wacker. Only the experts for this show!
plot twist: it's the same guy!
@@MisterTingles hahahahaah
That's pure curiosity for you, and he shares it all with us which is just amazing
@@sawspitfire422 I want more of the week wacker guy
Everyone knows something you don't know.
To the XO instantly being like "Do NOT disturb the sleeping crew" massive respect. The common sense of the XO keeping the Captain in place lol
But later they walked through that same berthing area. 😅
@@man4YAWEH454unless it’s an emergency, nobody comes into our bunk rooms besides the division
I can't get over how nice you are to everyone. You aren't even on the submarine and you introduce yourself to sailors. As well as on the Sub. I think it is awesome! You seem like a genuine, kind human being. We need more people like you in the world!
This is how every human should behave. Be nice and respectful and other people will respect you too.
"We're on a ship that sinks on purpose." haha love that line.
Lol
Submarines dive, targets sink...
@Curtis Tisberger you've never met me, but whatever. What's your beef with boats? Genuine question.
Titanic on another level
@Curtis Tisberger what's dumb about it, I know skimmers don't particularly like being referred to as targets, but you can't deny that a boat rarely sinks, they usually dive.
The excitement I got from this notification was unreal
uwu ikt
I've been impatiently waiting, so I was very happy.
Hey guys if you like quantum mechanics and blackhole then do visit my channel its an interesting channel about space...
The only notification from youtube that I know I have to click on and never be disappointed
True
You can't believe how young the crew are and how much responsibility they have on their shoulders. True professionals.
The Captain seems like an awesome guy to serve for really good with his crew
Where ya from ?😒
@@LauRoot892 🤨
I love how Destin is always respectful to everyone. He is always listening and does never act like he is better than someone. Sir, I respect you.
and look how far he has come with it!
At this rate, Destin will be the first person to film and report those UFO's that the Pentagon talked about. "Its me Destin, welcome back to smarter everyday, you guys ever wonder what an alien drives?"
He probably is the alien. 👽
Lmao tbh
"So I'm here on Area 51, because I was invited by Flarglnarf, an *operator* on this base. Hi, I'm Destin" "HUAA XHI NAPLIC. JARNICHLAAT UOP QIUUNAC! " "Really? That is amazing!"
I wouldn't mind that at all. This guy makes quality content.
"This is the 2021 Alien UFO, and today I'm going to show you its quirks and features, then I'll give it a Doug Score"
Thank you for the videos. I am an ex-submariner, attached to the very first Los Angeles class submarine, SSN688 USS Los Angeles based out of Pearl Harbor. I left the Navy around 2000. I can show my kids your videos so they get a look at what my world was like 20 years ago. I was at first a “Radioman” in the Navigation unit, but they merged all of Nav and Radio jobs into one rate called Electronics Tech. I remember having a flooding event while at sea. I remember the best food in the US military. I remember popping the hatch in the middle of 3 Hawaiian Islands for a “Swimming Call”. I remember standing deck watch at port in Pearl thinking about all the American and Japanese who lost their lives there. It was an amazing time of my life. Keep up what you’re doing. You are truly making our youth smarter everyday. 👍👍
What was the flooding event? Sounds pretty horrifying.
Fair winds shipmate
What I liked most is how deadly serious every single member of the crew is about their job but they are also totally open to be lighter and tease each other and laugh. They have some good leaders on board
I’m a long haired hippy type. These people work hard and enjoy what they do. That’s honorable.
True man their lives depend on a good day’s work.
An alien spaceship lands on earth for the first time ever. As soon as he opens his gates, first thing he hears, in deep Alabaman accent: "How's it going? My name is Destin, what's your name"
😂😂😂
😂😂👌
"hey man how's the going" 🤣
@BadGoy your mom is fake. And so does your life.
BadGoy you’re joking
They're sending Dustin to space one day at this rate.
That honestly wouldn't surprise me!
Who's *_he_* ?
We're a long way from Huntsville now
LOL
I absolutely loved this series inside a sub but something i really loved was in the ward room they had a photo of Sean Connery as the captain from Red October pinned up. Around 22:30-23:00 you can see it
That’s not Sean Connery, that’s CPT. Marco Ramius 😂
Yes, I noticed that too....
Capt.Remeus. Russian Navy. See the pic and plaque. great movie .The Hunt for the Red October.
That's not the wardroom, that's crew's mess
Took the words from me. Came here to say this. Great series and loved the cameo. "Be careful, Ryan. Most things in here don't react well to bullets."
The people involved in this are incredibly inspiring
This is so cool, I was stationed on the USS Toledo from 2004-2009, we were the ones that painted the diesel yellow and black.
MMN on a field day for someone important?
Awesome. While I was stationed on there, the a-gangers called it the rumble bee
Yeah this is crazy, my father once with his friends jerking off to James Charles in the nuclear reactor lol
That’s super cool!
kevin julius wtf lmao
Next month- SED: Boarding a top secret alien space craft!
Hey guys. It's me Destin, and this *pans camera around* is area 51. 😆🤣
@@bbies1973 "I finally made it in!"
Never gonna see a shi=t - classified by OPSEC.
E.T. phone home...
Cool, we love this stuff up here in Canada! I just started my channel where I go take trucks into the mountains and wreck em, hope to make a few folks laugh along the way.
as the parent of two young men in the Navy it is greatly appreciated when we can get a greater understanding of what our men and women in uniform are getting themselves into. One of my Sons is at Naval nuclear school right now to learn how to operate a reactor on a sub, so this helps me understand what his life is going to be like when he is away and unable to share with those who worry about them.
My oldest son was a Nuke Machinist Mate 1st class on two subs, a SSN and a SSBN. I was in Intelligence, IS2nd class, our second son was a DCman on a surface ship and dad was in anti-submarine warfare. So, yeah , we’re a Navy family.
Your son is training to be what I was, more than half a century ago - a submarine nuclear reactor operator. Even today I try to keep up through these vids with how the modern generation is working out. Obliviously, some of the systems and missions have changed over the years, but the people part remains the same and is well represented in this video. Your son will be challenged, but assuming he gets though nuke school, sub school and earns his dolphins aboard his first boat, he (and you!) will have the satisfaction of knowing he is the 'best of the best' in service to his country. He will also have the self-confidence to handle anything he faces in the civilian world, once he leaves the Navy. Good job, mom, on raising a man that can hack it!
This video is exactly what I needed today. It's so positive and uplifting, it's impossible not to feel good after watching it
"She's here to make sure I don't have an OPSEC issues while on board." Nice way of saying she's there to make sure you don't do any spy type stuff.
She's there to smack him with that hammer if he gets out of line.
@@darkstar949 Loose lips sink ships.
She's not there because they see him as a potential threat. Think about what he's doing here, he's interacting with dozens of people and moving throughout multiple levels and rooms within a nuclear submarine. There's all sorts of OPSEC issues involved with this. One of the submariners could easily slip up and say something they weren't supposed to, or Destin could film something he wasn't supposed to, or he could be in the vicinity of someone talking about something that they don't want us to hear. She is really the second line of defense for all of this, and the individual OPSEC training that each submariner has taken would be the first line of defense. By the time the Navy gets a hold of the video to review it for OPSEC, there should be little to nothing that they have to cut out before the video is released. All of these layers eliminates or dramatically reduces the potential for human error.
Probably helps in other ways than what are obvious. I bet submariners are naturally skeptical of strangers roaming around their top secret boat, the presense of someone that has full control of what is within opsec limits will assure the crew that its ok to show and tell stuff without having to double check constantly.
@@olaruud9366 oh definitely. You can feel the skepticism through the video. If there wasn't someone there to verify that this person is cool, nobody would talk to him.
My father was on the Toledo and where you sat talking about dolphins I’ve sat and ate dinner with my father so many times
Wow
That must have been cool to see again
Weird flex but ok!
@@ultimophantom8395 I rarely see desi boys on Destin's channel. Hello :P
Must've felt Nostalgic :)
This was such a high quality video! I got out of the US Navy years ago and this was so refreshing to watch 😄
I am a Veteran of the "cold war " Submarine Service. I absolutely love the fact that the NAVY let you have such 'plain english' access to the most powerful weapon of all military services... Submarine People! I am honored by willingness to explain and teach others, about our NAVY's "Silent Service"! Science is huge onboard. But, the People... will forever be Brothers and Sisters, when they become "Qualified on Submarines". I cannot wait to see your next video! Thank you, Dustin. Best regards, FTBC/SS Craig Tower
This video is absolutely incredible. I'm speechless.
Thank you for your service Craig!
Ryan Howell I’m watching a movie titled “thank you for your service” at this very moment. So your comment means more to me as a Non-American right now
This is probably the coolest video I've ever seen. Thank you for your service.
I have got a question. Can you join the submarinecrew if you have holes in your eardrums? Because i am not able to dive deep under water.
Hello Chinese Intelligence office worker who is forced to watch this even though they edited out everything sensitive.
At least he'll be entertained!
@@DFX2KX He might even get smarter every day. ;P
They probably bought all the blueprints from Israel like 20 years ago. They good.
They will find out that this is a propaganda puff piece from the Navy.
你好!
I got to spend a day aboard the USS Georgia years ago. Amazing experience and I was most impressed by the men on board. I am thankful for all of those who serve.
Cant wait for the space station smarter everyday video to come out
Hello Florence How are you doing today?
Ever 😂
I love how you can see the crew relaxing the longer Destin was on board. Destin has a gift for communication.
He's basically a human golden retriever.
Slappy the accuracy in that statement
*handshake* "What's your name? Caleb, nice to meet you Caleb, I'm Dustin."
yeah, as someone with poori-ish social skills and anxiety and introversion and all of it, I always notice how well he talks to everyone and how nice it is, its amazing
"Fast attack nuclear submarine" has to be up there with the most badass sounding military toys.
I was always more of a fan of the Nuclear Ballistic submarine. I hear they have the really big firecrackers...
Nuclear subs are the most deadly weapons ever devised.
@amine dz No especially needed. U.S. subs can destroy the planet faster.
@amine dz uh.. okay sounds credible
"Boomer" sounds pretty cool too....
I was stationed on a los Angeles class fast attack and this brought back some memories this crew was extraordinary and is is good to see how the submarines have evolved over the years my time on the sub was back in the mid to late 70's.
Was once on a US Navy attack sub at NAS Norfolk for about an hour or so during a JEWSOC (Joint Electronic Warfare Special Operations Conference......or at least I think that's what "JEWSOC" stood for...been a long time) back in about 1994 when I flew the EC-130H Compass Call. Two things impressed me: 1 - How cramped everything inside was and 2 - how cramped everything inside was. I mean before you go inside you're thinking "this is a sub, everything is going to be tight and cramped" and then you get inside and you're just blown away how tiiiiiiight every space was. Biggest open space was the officers' mess. I kid you not it was probably 6' x 8', maaaaybe 6' x 10'. That's it. God bless our sailors who work to keep us free.
The intro is something out of call of duty

Kinda makes sense. Your average guy who can go outside on green grass and play football anytime, wants to fantasize about shooting aliens. A guy who lives in a claustrophobic tube doing stealth missions in a nuclear sub, wants to escape by playing football.
@@feral107 also, what are you going to do, replay the campaign for the 29th time or play 4 player split screen again?
We need to make Madden better for our country, EA you are on notice.
This submarine series is one of the best series ever made on KZhead. Well done! This was so interesting.
I learn so much from watching you vlog, but I particularly like the episodes on the Navy and submarines. It makes me so Proud of our me and women in our armed forces. Thank you so much for taking me along with you.
The whole intro from landing on the ice to boarding the sub felt like a COD intro mission
IT WAS LIKE BEING SWALLOWED UP WHOLE WOW IT LOOK FUN TO VISIT THOE
Yes. MW3 specifically...
Shut up virgin
dude 1:09 is indistinguishable from COD

"This: Is the USS Toledo, a US Navy Los Angeles Class Fast Attack Nuclear Submarine" Thought this was gonna be a wild Doug DeMuro video
Let's check out its quirks and features!
@@HaraldSangvik And them I'm going to take it for a drive and give it a Doug - what?, oh.....sorry, if I took it for a drive, I'd wind up in jail.
I see you are a man of culture.
Odd that you wouldn't find a USS Toledo as part of the Ohio class...
Holy Toledo! It's a nuclear sub!
I did ONE patrol on the Toledo (TAD aka Temporary Duty) as a junior sonarman back in 1997 or 98. This video even showed my old rack. The top bunk when they opened the door at 4:48. Had a great time onboard. Was an awesome experience.
As so many have said, Thank you for sharing some insight into life on a boat! I served for 4 years on Daniel Webster 626 Gold and to this day it is one of the smartest and proudest things of my life. I truly admired everyone I shared time with on and off the boat! It is a brotherhood you never quite understand until there is some time to reflect and grasp what is you did. This series does a great service to the men, and now, women who give up so much to do this job! I immediately sent a link to my in-laws as their grandson embarks into his life in the Navy and onto a sub. One quick observation..it seems the navy or this crew now adopted the term "ship" rather than as all formers bubble heads will call it..a boat! For me it was strange to hear.
Destin 2010: Look at this chicken's head. Destin 2020: Look at this nuclear submarine. Destin 2030: Look at this intergalactic star destroyer. P.S. Really happy to be a Patreon today. It's not often that the cost of a couple coffees gets me on board a nuclear submarine.
Most likely
2040: Look at our former planet Earth. Also, check out my space yacht!
Destin 2040: the new contributor to the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy after Ford Perfect. He'll go around with the Sub-Etha Sence-O-Matic with the infinite improbability drive.
I'd guess more like "Look at this mad max thunderdome style bloodpit"
they succesive progression Destin 2040: Look at this parralel universe collider
In ten years: „Hey, it‘s me, Destin and I am currently on board the ISS!“
not unlikely.
Lovely thought but it's now debatable the ISS will continue to function that long. We can hope though! Lots of nasa projects exceed their planned operational budget. Probably different when human life is involved though. Just had a pretty good hull crack on the ISS a few weeks ago on an old module. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Could be the moon for all we know. Fingers crossed for Elon and Space X. I hope you're right!
In 30 years: Hey I'm destin, and I'm currently on Mars!!
Probably not even 10 years yet
I loved that they had the Toledo Mudhens on the drink dispenser. Way to represent!! Might have to find a Toledo Walleye decal and see how to send it to them. This series is so interesting. Thank you for the insight!
Great video helping us understand the undersea navy. So much respect to these submariners and thanks to them for welcoming us into their world for a while.
21:54 - Did anyone catch the Hunt for the Red October picture wish Sean Connery? That is SOOOO FUNNY!
I was looking to see if anyone else noticed that. Seemed to be on a picture of what I presume is a Typhoon class sub in dry dock.
Yeah. Nice touch.
I did!
And the mud hens soda machine!!
Hahaha, I thought it was that Iranian general, Solimani 😁

I love everything about this. Its soooo much better than the "official" ones put out. Much more intimate. Marvelous job!
This was one of the most fascinating videos I have ever watched. Thank you for filming these great people. May the USS Toledo have smooth waters.
I love how Sean Connery in his Red October role is on the wall in the Crews Mess
All these guys probably know every line of dialog in that movie lol
"One ping only, please."
That sub is stationed at OMSI in Portland Oregon, they do tours of it too, it’s so cool!!!
22:15
The boats not in Oregon 🤦🏽♂️
That's a good chief. "No, you're not waking up my crew."
He was afraid of the mutiny that would occur.
"...because that's the most fun part of MY JOB!!!! Mwah-ha-ha...!!!" Chiefs get chosen to be Chiefs for a reason. Being charming and thoughtful is not part of the Exam for E-7.
but he broke a cardinal rule. shining a flashlight in berthing.
@@consubandon I learned fast that Navy chiefs run the Navy. Baby ensigns are fresh meat when cornered by several gray haired E-8s.
He wasn't worried about waking the crew, he didn't want the condition of the head to be seen.
It's reassuring to know you boys are out there helping keep everyone a little safer! Thank you all onboard.
As a GA pilot with acrophobia before I flew (which helped quite a bit) being in the tight quarters I know a sub has, would take a claustrophobic individual some doing to get used to! Our great respect and thanks for their service down below! Just being under the ice could be quite an ordeal but it's astonishing how a sub can burst up through the ice! I'm sure the crew is so busy, that they have little time to be concerned with tight quarters, but I would still think it would take some mental adjustments! I wondered how the sub knows where the ice is the thinnest so they COULD break through it, but today, there are sensors on EVERYTHING so I'm sure they know! We thank the crew of the sub for their service and thank you for your video!
Just as a sub has a fathometer (a type of downward-sensing sonar) to measure depth under the keel, they also have upward sensing sonar to sense the depth of ice below the sea surface, and that system is to find 'leads' or polynas' (areas of thinner ice pack) that can be surfaced through. - One-time nuclear submariner here who has BTDT. BTW, I'd always wanted to fly, and much later in life soloed and earned my private pilot's license. I found the learning process for that to be akin to getting qualified in submarines!
@@robertparker9896 As an acrophobic, and aviation pilot, I never had a problem at all looking down, which you do a lot while VFR flying, but the mind can fool you sometimes, I went up in a glider with a friend and was nervous the whole time, not trusting those warm air thermals and wishing for an engine in the glider! I have been a "water-baby" since my earliest years and enjoy all instances of being in the water and lived right by the ocean for many years. I really enjoyed SCUBA diving and dived in Monterey Bay, CA area a lot. BUT, it's silly I know, but I was afraid to go out off shore very far because I KNEW about the drop-off into the Monterey Trench and I can't explain it, but I was nervous to get out over that while in the water! I guess James Cameron will never invite me to go to the depths in his submersible.
@@robertparker9896 Thanks for that info, Robert, I read that the Arctic ice can be 15' thick! Seems like that would be difficult to break through for the sub! Do they get a running speed and crash into it, or would that wreck the part of the sub that breaks through, I guess its called the "sail" -- must be quite strong! And is it more difficult to keep the sub warm at 30 below zero than at however cold the ocean is where you travel; I suppose there is sensor on the outside of the sub somewhere telling you what the water temp is -- correct? I was expecting to see close quarters but there is a bit more room than I expected in some areas! Thanks for your input.
@@mjleger4555 Pre-surface procedure under ice is to 'map' out depth of ice pack above and find a region larger than the boat itself that is < 5 or 6 feet thick, then 'hover' under that spot 20 feet or so and blow all main ballast tanks. the 'sail is built strong enough to take the hit. Then the crew breaks out ice axes, saws, and snow shovels to dig their way out of the boat! Nuke plant means plenty of A/C to handle either warm or cold water surroundings.
@@robertparker9896 Thanks -- a crash into and through the ice, wow! I forgot that a nuke sub can make it's own power! I saw a video a couple of years ago, with the sailors on the ice with their ice axes, chain-saws and shovels cutting the ice away from their submarine! Looked like hard work, but one way to keep warm in the Arctic cold!
1:28 this shot looks like a COD campaign scene
thank you! that's exactly what I thought! I had to scroll through the comments to see if I was the only one.
no wonder I randomly got nostalgia.
Graphics are not as good...
*"When you get down...the seconds step... They rotate!"*
*Hold E to go down*
Destin: greets everyone Everyone: gets embarrassed 😳
Not embarrassed They are task oriented Probably they are facing very hard time to find an interviewer among them You can feel the unease
@@yasedky yup. More like what can they can or cannot say or do.
@@yasedky absolutely these folks are on their mission, they feel extremely uncomfortable someone unknown is walking on their ship
I'd imagine part of it is potentially having to be careful about what they say also since a lot of them will know things that can't make it to public knowledge and all
@@blazingmatty123 absolutely! These folks are the definition of isolated so to see this random walk on their boat with a camera had to be jarring. Really loving this video series
That's pretty cool man! You're boarding the submarine like The Hunt for Red October movie without going overboard. They even had picture of their captain inside the mess hall. Thanks for showing!
Wow... I'm just a normal guy from a small country that doesn't even have access to the sea, but these videos are amazing. Thanks for them, you're such a nice guy
Love how the senior enlisted objected to entering the sleeping quarters. Looking out for his guys. Sure he was in a tough spot.
The "COB" Chief of the Boat has no problem correcting a LTJG about proper respect for his men.
My father was COB in WW2 I knew he was going to let his boys sleep
We walk through forward and aft crews berthing all the time to get to the head. Having him go in there to see middle level head would probably be no big deal.
Yep. Good chief. Shut that down quick. JG: "If we go in..." Chief: *head shake* "No."
@@ChuckFinley88 Eh. They're on 8s or 5&Dimes trying to sleep. I wouldn't need a JG giving a tour walking through. Just a courtesy the chief was smart enough to catch.
22:07 obviously this crew Knows how the greatest submarine captain of all time is (Sean Connery in the picture frame)
I love how classy the guys are, 22:00 there is a picture of Sean Connery from the best sub movie “ The Hunt for the Red October” in the background,
His name is Captain Ramius. Marko Aleksandrovich Ramius.
Brilliant!...You ask,you listen and then you explain.....Really enjoyable to watch!....Keep on asking the questions!!!
the captain has a degree in physics and engineering; that must be the coolest job in the planet, to be in a position like that, that much responsibility.....
I have a tough time waking up to my alarm clock lol
i have re-watched all of these videos countless times, you did SUCH a great job
As a parent, this is an approved channel for my kids. I really like the respect he extends to everyone, plus the excitement he has for learning new things. Thank you for the great content.
oh no, your kids might become a submariner... J/K ;)
@@kurtronhovde2184 thats a good thing doe
@@ipayman5217 lol, it can be. My usual advise for anyone thinking of a career in the Navy is to think; if you're a sailor and not at sea, you're not doing your job. Even more so on Subs. Small confined space virtually no privacy for 6 or so mouths at a time. Just be prepared. It was fun, but thankful it's over.
I would also recommend the channels Practical Engineering and Real Engineering for content somewhat similar to Destin's! Hope your kids enjoy it - I wish KZhead was a thing when I was growing up as I honestly think it would have helped me decide what I wanted to do for a living!
Yeah indeed, war instruments are truly adding to the development and improvement of the human race
It’s really impressive how Destin can meet literally anybody and become best friends with them in minutes
As an military at a younger age , I can feel the brotherships which I miss from my days in the army. Well done :)
I love the fact that Destin gets as excited in a nuclear submarine as he gets about weedwhacker stringas and laminar flow and everything else
incorrect. there is no greater excitement than for laminar flow. all other things are secondary
5:11 Smart man. Wake up someone who's confined on a sardine can for weeks in a row just to see their toilets and you'll find yourself hated by 1/3 of the entire vessel.
Not hated, but for sure you will find your sleep interrupted by each one every night.
pretty sure people that work subs are more spoiled then any other branch of the entire military. kinda similair to air control
Wow I wood not disturb those guys OFF DUTY no way
nah he just didn't want video evidence of what an underway head looks like
Pretty funny. Commander was like "Let's head back then and see it" then the Senior was like "Naw, we're not going back there". Stopped it right there. Shows how much power Chiefs have in the Navy.
After reading the book Turn the ship around! by L. David Marquet, it warms my heart to hear the diving officer use "I intend to" during the stationary dive. Also I find the video to be astonishing and remarkable in all aspects. There are not many videos like these, so thank you!
What an amazing video. Thanks to the Navy for allowing this and to you for giving us this video 🤜🤛
instant respect for the fact that you where allowed to record on board an ACTIVE NUCLEAR SUB
You'll also notice that there is absolutely NOTHING that is even remotely classified in it as well.
@@michellekillinger9324 Frankly, I'm surprised that he was allowed to show faces and names. I've always known the government to be very cagey about that sort of thing.
@@michellekillinger9324 ? lol he wasnt allowed to film half the sub
@@michellekillinger9324 a bunch of the screens were blurred out as well
I served on 2 ballistic missile submarines. We gave occasional tours. We kept our gauges covered while in port so no parameters were viewed. Also NOBODY not crew was allowed into or past the reactor compartment. Typically nobody that is not on the access list is allowed aboard so tours have to be set up. No guest is ever not escorted the entire tour of the boat. This video blurred some things and the entire film was obviously reviewed by Gov't personnel before release. We were not allowed to take photos without permission and none in engineering spaces
Chinese Intellegence: "We must send lenses incapable of fogging."
Thyme to Dream i can get behind that conspiracy! Ha ha.
👀
American intelligence : you ignore our findings.
Do what we did in subs for years, use RainX and Foggone, easy and cheap fix.
Watching this literally made me wanna change my whole career path, this video made me wanna join the navy instead of the army and I wanna be on the submarine, just seems like a fun thing to do and your helping your country while having fun who wouldn’t wanna do that
I'm humbled by our service people it would be an honor to be in their presence. Thank you for this video so cool and thank you to everyone who has or is serving!
22:00 They really have a "Sean Connery / Hunt for Red October" framed picture on the wall... amazing!
That is the best!
@@davidbeck429 Das boot :p
I saw that pic of Capt. Ramius.
Nice catch
lol I was wondering if anyone else saw this. I spit out my water I was drinking when I saw it.
These NAVY recruting ads getting smarter and smarter
@Micheal Ellis You win one internet.
lol i never even thought about that
I think he says that they didn't ask him to do it, invite him, or tell him what to say. I think Destin just likes the Navy.
"Recruiting." You've already failed. 🤣
@@edrevugh4049 they have cool tech, awesome machines and procedures for just about everything - plenty of stuff you can learn from that will make you smarter.
Wow this was super fascinating. So exciting and authentic to hear from the people who love their jobs
I always find myself coming back to this channel. It's fascinating.
I'm constantly reminded when seeing these crazy career fields that it's just ordinary people with a drive to do extraordinary things.
@Ascended Master truly inspirational.
As a physics nerd I loved this video, literally all my physics knowledge applied to real life in one of the coolest jobs ever.
This is a world I know nothing about, and it was one of those videos where you just intend to take a quick look but then just have to watch all the way through. Thanks guys for sharing.
24:31 “Here in the arctic, just bought this new nuclear submarine here, fun to cruise under the arctic ice but you know what I value more than materialistic things?... Gnawledge “
loooooooll
Every guy who does this stuff deserves mad respect. These guys are amazing.
Joshua Cali did this for 14 years in British subs it’s fun
And we all love/loved it. Every minute of it.
Michelle Killinger really? I work with a lot of ex submariners and they said it sucked
Wade Pilkington American subs aren’t fun
Thank you. The men I’ve severed along with has to be one of the toughest [mentally] group of people there. I’ve once went more than 27 days without sunlight. Underwater. Patrolling.
Great video! It was cool to see how the crew worked as a team. The flower you were questioning I believe is the Butterfly Plant, Aesclepious Tuberosa. I may have misspelled it, my Latin is off. Good luck and keep uploading these educational videos!!
Absolutely fascinating!! You are hero’s of the sea! We are so proud of you!
"We're in a ship that sinks on purpose." Sums up how different this is beautifully.
2020: This ship and everyone inside of it is racist because it has an American flag which is a racist flag. Also this submarin is misogynist because there are more males than females.
@@Karen-pl8kd go home
@That other Guy I'm just saying that's what some crazy people are saying in 2020 cuz hey, everything is racist these days.
@@Karen-pl8kd you didn't have to say that. We all know what's going on :/
@@Karen-pl8kd Black lives matter, but so do white, yellow, and brown lives.
The first minutes look like a call of duty cinematic.
I was thinking the exact same thing
Better example, BF3 jet mission. check it out
i said that in the last video
cod ghost
@@NonsensicalSpudz bf3 jet mission all over, I was thinking just the same thing!
This is my 2nd or 3rd time watching this since it’s released. This is such a cool & interesting video. Very fascinating I will say!
I appreciate this video. My Grandfather born in 1922, passed away 2016 at 94 years old. He worked on designing and building the submarines. The ones today, he made.
Jim 😂👋
I love the fact that the US military has understood the impacts of youtube and creators enough to actually involve and invite Destin. Sure you could argue this is propaganda like, and that's probably what motivated the Navy, but still what a cool video/experience. Now if only we could get our politicians to understand the internet as well as the military does.
You might be surprised. A year ago, Destin published a video about the future of warfare and Multi-Domain Operations. In it, he has an interview with Gen. Brown, who mentions social media (propaganda, although he doesn't use that word) as a part of the "human domain".
Was anxiously looking for the propaganda comment. Now I don’t have to post one.
I mean, Navy propaganda is the reason why we have the gem "In the Navy" by the Village People. 🤷♀️
politicians have people who understand Internet.
Military created the internet, so it stands to reason they understand it. Also tens of thousands in their ranks of young people, are in the Military and young people are the lifeblood of the military. It's in their best interests to understand the internet if they did not it would eat them alive.
I spent 14 years as a Nuke Electrician Submariner... It was great to see the submarine force presented in such a positive and entertaining way. Thank you.
Cool job as a sparky myself that’s works in automation/PLCs, I’ve often wondered what it would be like to work on big ships or subs. You still in the electrician game?
legend!
I too was a nuke electrician. I on the other hand hated it.
@@erichlf why ?
Nuc Machinist Mate here. MM1 (DV).
I served on the USS La Jolla from 08-13 which is also a Los Angeles class submarine. It’s so unique seeing a civilian’s point of view of what we do. Cool stuff man.
Growing up in Buffalo NY that crunching sound your hearing as they walk was the soundtrack to my youth...
Other youtubers: you can't believe the prank I pulled on my girlfriend Destin: I just boarded a freaking Nuclear submarine 😎
Oh, and he did it and the freaking NORTH POLE!
You can do that when your civilian job consists of building rockets, where doing so involves working hand in hand with the US Government. My guess is at some point Destin has held special security clearance and worked with Government programs that required such clearance. With that past, he has the ability to go interview and share a bit of what most of us would never be afforded, which is awesome content. From Nuclear Submarines under ice, to war games and sinking a ship, to rocket factories and more. We get to see a little bit of what we'd never have been allowed or able to go see on our own. Great job Destin, keep uploading the cool content. Peace.
WeChallenge sorry bro but I’m not reading all that can you summarize
This reminds me of cod modern warfare when you go in a submarine and kill everyone
It sure is the A++ of badass.
My favorite part: "Do you want to go in and take a look at their bathroom? " "Yeah........No?" "No, you don't want to."
i mean obviously yea, but out of respect for these men sleeping glad he said no.
Officer said leave my bois alone.
This is freaking awesome. I didn't think I cared about submarines but I could watch an entire show on this.
Whatta a life! Incredible viewing 💯
"This submarine sunk a train." Sold. I must find out about this.
Awesome book. Great story about the train.
USS Barb, commanded by Eugene Fluckey
@@kurtstudt5127 it is a great book, he was a very witty and funny writer along with being a genius sub commander.
It was a sub doing surveillance off the coast of Japan and they noticed that the train went by same time everyday. So the commander waited till nightfall and sent men with the boats scuttle charges to rig the bridge. Next day boom train went swimming. All of us former submariners know the story. Aircraft carriers may take all the glory from ww2 but subs inflicted over half the supply losses for the Japanese. It was an honor and a privilege to serve aboard a submarine one I’ll definitely never forget.
@@thepatriot8544 Scuttle charges? Correct me if I'm wrong - but aren't those intended to blow out parts of your own sub in case you need to sink it to prevent the enemy from recovering it? If so, that's some crazy improvisation.
I really appreciate how unlike most submarine videos you focused on the people rather than the technology. I think we often forget the amazing people who make up the crew.
Thank you for sharing this with us, all these great people serving our country.
This was a great video. I was a First Class Machinist Mate, MM1(SS) working in the engineroom and also served as an Engineering Laboratory Technician (ELT). My duties were to operate the steam plant that drove the submarine through the water. That was the MM part of my duties, but the ELT part is what I loved. That was collecting water samples from the steam plant and the nuclear reactor to make sure the systems operated properly. I also added chemicals to make those systems operate safely. I also conducted radiation surveys throughout the boat and measured the radiation levels to make sure our environment remained safe to live in. We monitored each person onboard to make sure they were not getting over exposed to radiation. We did these activities at sea and in port. I loved my time on the boat, the USS Flying Fish SSN 673, for four years. My biggest regret was to leave the Navy and miss opportunities of living underwater for weeks and months at a time. I've been out of the Navy for 41 years. I still miss it. This video was excellent and brought back so many memories.
LTCDR Castellano (CO) was my Engineering Officer when I served on the USS Pasadena (2009-2014). The submarine community is so small. Nice to see they gave him command of a ship! Hoo-yah!
He seemed like a truly great guy. I can only imagine how much knowledge someone like him could share.
