Totally amazing videos series :D
Absolutely amazing and utterly fascinating series! ^^
this has been some of my all time videos i just love them :) have watc them some times and pause to look around its so cool
Amazing video learned something new
Destin pl make a video on ferrofluid and it's properties
Can’t wait for the Smarter Every Day International Space Station Series
Like that is ever gonna happen 😂
If it happens, he HAS to have an intro where the camera slowly glides towards him like it's on a dolly track.
i would not be suprised to actually make it there xD
@@getsomeknowledge3580 A school teacher was once picked for space travel. I can't see any reason why Destin won't ^^, I hope for a 20+ episodes series!!
That need many year study and a lot of money
This is a very honest and smart way for the Navy to recruit and definitely beats a flashy advertising campaign. You can't say you don't know what you are getting yourself into after this! Such a great series.
They should just show this whole series at all recruitment events 😂
Yeah, the new recruitment ads especially suck, much rather they talk about the cool stuff they have then try to appeal to my identity or whatever
As an ex-submariner, you have no idea what you are getting into.... I say that in the best way possible. Being a submariner was one of the most rewarding and challenging things that I have ever or will ever do.
Well you can say that because it doesn't show the day-to-days of being in the Navy. But it is much better than the recruitment videos I was shown.
@@chrisaye1 As a fellow ex-submariner, I agree.
I'm sad the series is over. This is arguably some of the best content on your channel. I hope to see similar style stuff in the future.
That is saying something too because many many others have had the chance to do these tours and this channel made a huge educational documentary when most other people just ask a couple questions and get back off the boat.
@BeKindToBirds Well, thankfully, he's continued this style of documentary. The sub was fun. But, so was the Kodak factory, and the machine stamping place. I hope this style continues onward.
@@TheTonyMcD Yep, this really is a special channel, he is great. I'm going to check those series out, I've only seen this, fireflies, and coast guard lol
This series has made me appreciate so much the fact that we have submariners like this operating in the worlds oceans every day protecting the security of the nation, it's literally just mind blowing.
The guy who installed the wiring in the control room deserves a gold trade medal. 🥇(with blue ribbon for the sea) 🙂 I knew they were complex but Sheesh! Must be the most complex things built by man! I
I am a retired submarine sailor. I made 13 FBM patrols and among my last positions on the boat was Diving Officer. Great job Dustin. You brought back lots of memories.
Thank you for your service from a US Army veteran.
@@BrainScramblies you have the internet at your fingertips my friend.

Seeing the photos of the kids behind the captain made me realise that you’re letting the families of this crew see what their parents and loved ones do. Someone gets to go “That’s my Dad!” And that’s a super special gift.
I was just thinking imagine being a kid and being able to say my dad is a nuclear submarine commander
That was me :) my dad was on 4 subs during his Navy career!
@@epicspectro Aw you must have been proud as heck! Also one of the coolest kids in elementary lol
@@alexandergavey6471 proud yes... coolest kid in elementary not likely lol
18:41 for those who want timestamp btw
Wait, this was 42 minutes long? This felt like 20 or even less. Truly one of the most interesting series I've watched and enjoyed in a long time.
Lol same, I saw the 42 minute long comment and had to scroll back up to do a double take.
So true!
I'm 38 minutes in and genuinely felt the same, I looked at the time I was at and my jaw actually dropped. One of the most interesting videos and series I've ever watched
This video had me hooked. I didn't even realize it had been that long.
Do not watch on 2x speed, dude! =)
Destin, I am a former submariner. (RM2/SS) , having served actively from 1980-1988. One of the commands I was on was USS OMAHA (SSN-692) now decommissioned. Your series here not only brought back so many memories, but also the respect, enthusiasm and genuine interest in what we as Submariners do everyday is a credit to the messaging that you put forth in this video. Thank you for showing what you could of the dedication, perseverance and love of country and honor that ALL submariners put forth. Please acknowledge that service g in the US Submarine Force is completely VOLUNTARY on the part of the officers and crew of each boat. Dolphin wearing Submariners are a brotherhood and sisterhood thst is a source of pride for each and every one of us.
Thank you for your service from a US Army veteran.
I love how much pride thoses submariners take in their job. They seem to be going along very well, and it looks like a nice work environment.
you better have nice stuff, nice food and nice ambiance if you're gonna spend multiple months inside a crowded sealed metal can
Just watched the 9 video marathon...and I am smarter! Thank you!
@@wontcreepAnd Elon thinks he can send people to Mars with like a ~125m^3 "cockpit" 🤡. Submarines might be packed full of instruments, but at least there's stuff to do and you can move around. To go to space, a solid 80% of the rocket's volume is just fuel and the rest is mostly engines, pipes, and cables. There's like 1% of the volume left for people. They're definitely gonna go insane in the 2 years it takes to go to Mars and back 😐. (It takes 6 months to go from one planet to the other and there's a whole year in between where you have to wait because the Earth and Mars are on opposite sides of the Sun.)
I can't be the only one who is EXTREMELY happy that of all people Destin was able to experience this! You were the right person for the job Destin!
I vote for Destin at the ISS
@@metroidandroid OMG… that would be like sending a 12 year old genius to space …. He’d never stop doing loop da loops. I VOTE YES 👍🏻
The questions he knew to ask and the engineering insight he gave were incredible and so in-depth. It absolutely made this into such a wonderful and educational series!
Thank you for the kind words
@@smartereveryday Destin you need to go to one of those zero-g planes
The access the Navy allowed Destin on this sub was incredible, truly an honor for him and us, his audience.
im pretty sure he works on government projects for the military and more than likely was doing something else and took the time to make a video of the submarine to kill two birds with one stone! of course with government approval id assume. or his job would be on the line. still cool to see though!
Titanic colliding with ice anyone ?
It's marketing and advertisement to try to get people to join the military. They do this all the time and have branched out to KZheadrs.
now do one in The CIA head office
@@zorilazIf it involved the CIA it would not fit the title of the channel
My Grandfather and my Father were both submariners. I never understood the immense pride they held about the difference between a submariner and a sailer until now. You’ve really shown some incredible things in this series and I’m glad to have gotten the chance to understood those that came before me better.
Thank you for their service from a US Army veteran.
I just binge watched the nuclear Sub series. It was outstanding. Two major things came out of this for me. The first was how mind blowingly complex the engineering on board the sub is and how breathtaking it is for the designers to fit all that equipment into such a small place with so many considerations to take into account. Secondly was you were incredibly honored Destin. The crew were absolutely first class in how they welcomed you aboard and the enthusiasm they displayed to show you as much as possible. The Captain was utterly fantastic and gave you far more time and attention than i would have thought. Overall the crew of the Toledo gave an incredible account of themselves and the US Navy submariner force. You got a once in a lifetime VIP access to things people dont get a chance to witness. I hope the Navy were pleased with the outcome and the PR they have received. Well done! .
Top comment. Do you wonder how many have tried to enlist in the navy after seeing this video? Could of been the one that pushed em to finally go. Most submarine videos I watch on here is about what can go wrong.
This is mind blowing, there’s so much more to a submarine than I could have ever imagined.
That's why KZhead is so great. There's so much more to almost any technical subject than anyone would expect, and until now, there was nobody willing to show us any of it. Television's unwillingness to rise above the lowest common denominator did the world a huge disservice, in my opinion.
I agree, this was great.
Well, hello Rhett! Fancy seeing you here.
@@Pest789 I would just say any subject, or rather that any subject is a technical subject if you look closely enough
Submarine builders describe a submarine as a ship sized Swiss watch
Hi Destin! I'm the guy who narrated "Thunder Below!", and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm grateful for your kind words about it, and I hope anyone who decides to listen to it based on your suggestion enjoys it also! :) I've been following this video series since the first one, and it's been a nonstop joy to watch. Thank you for doing this series, it's been fascinating.
Yes that was a great narration. If reading was any easier with my busy schedule, I would have bought the book. Thanks to you and to Destin for suggesting the book.
WOW
....and thank you for the awesome narration!
I absolutely loved your narration. It really brought the book to life for me. As a matter of fact this was my first audio book...LOL I was always afraid I would have trouble following along but it was amazing. I was sad when it was over. Your Claxon noise made me laugh every time!
I absolutely loved your narration of that book.
What a stellar crew man. Everyone took time to explain their job in a clear and concise way. As always the production value was amazing Destin.
i reckon its due to the weight of the aircarft
My daughter just enlisted in the Navy for submarine service...this series actually calmed this mama's nerves about her serving in that environment. Thank you!
Destin, I spent almost 4 years on an attack sub, taking her all the way to decommissioning. I was one of the guys operating the reactor in the back that I’m sure you didn’t get to see during your visit. I’ve really enjoyed your series and am quite surprised the Navy allowed you to do it - you must have really impressed someone higher up!
Was also a nuke, albeit a surface puke lol.
@@jamesh2321 I’m proud of being a surface nuke. I’ll gladly side step 3 section duty.
its not just a reactor back there ;]
I think Destin used to work in a missile silo, but I forget exactly what he did. So he knows a thing or two ;)
This was fascinating, seemed like a great crew which i'd imagine is super important on a submarine.
Every time I think "why did it take so long to get the next in this series" I am reminded of exactly where and what you had that camera pointed at, and how amazing it is that this series exists at all. So thankful!
I'm frankly shocked they even let him in there to be honest, the bridge is literally the whole brain of the operation. The fact he even saw what is in there would have been considered a severe OPSEC breach when the sub was built
@@avroarchitect1793 no doubt we only saw a fraction of what is in that room. And Destin most likely has a good security clearance level from his previous work on missle development, which made the Navy comfortable with trusting him with what he would see in person.
it is just insane that you get to enter these super classified areas, make videos about it and then show the rest of us what suff look like and how it works. I have watched this series before but I felt like I had to see it again. thank you Destin for being the awezome man you are!
The thickness of the ice (below the waterline) can be calculated by taking the water depth of the sub and subtracting the sonar distance from the sub to the bottom of the ice. Adding another 10% would give you the actual thickness of the ice.
Yes, that works out on my calculator.
Doesn't sonar give you your depth, though? Just how I understand it, but I really have no idea.
To the person that did not want to be publicly recognized for getting these videos through operational clearance: A big US flag salute to you! Thank you for making this all happen!!!
Don't worry, he got a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation medal for his efforts!
@@alexschleuning3690 that’s fantastic. Thanks for the update. Reminds me of my interactions with people at China Lake Naval Air Weapons Base: There’s Marines embedded with most of those naval operations. Makes sense that the Marines would give him/her a commendation too.
This has got to be one of the most enjoyable series I've watched.
4:45 a civilian literally just told them when to dive. Even though they were humoring him... the fact of giving one command to the entire boat had to feel great if only for a few seconds.
This series is the most interesting, in depth “making the sausage” submarine video I have ever seen. My buddy was on one, but he could never explain this clearly how things happened on a sub. So much more interesting than anything else that I have seen. Props to the USN for being so cool about it too.
I just realize that I watched this quality series for free. Such a wonderful journey Destin!
It's not free. Your data and ads. Might feel like free but is it?
Just use an ad blocker...@@raavanhitech

"Deep dive series," I get it, Destin. This has been my favorite series since the helicopter series. Some of the best things about your videos is that they really expose the levels of complexity behind things you don't really think about. The idea of hovering a submarine and the sophistication behind that process is incredible.
Same. The helicopter one is amazing. I am a prototype machinist in the aerospace industry and just thinking about what all goes into keeping control of a helicopter blows my mind. Same thing with submarines. Amazing feats of engineering.
I’m amazed they allowed you to film. This is so cool and a really cool insight into how the crew works and their dynamic. Everyone is so humble in such the massive role they play. I’m sure this inspired someone
What an incredible series! I loved every minute of it. Never have I seen such detailed insight into the daily life of a submariner. Thank you, Destin!
Hands down one of the best documentary series I've seen. To meet the crew in this natural and uncut way is such a blessing. So much of TV is over engineered and fake. This is just straight up filming and talking.
Agree
Couldn't agree more. And I'm in the category of the farthest thing from any possible type of engineer there is out there.
This is very much a "cut version".
I departed my last boat in '05. This series brought back so many memories. I am so glad that the Navy allowed you to do this. You were only able to show a SMALL fraction of what happens on a boat each and every day, but I am sure it will peak the interest of someone that may want to go out and volunteer for submarine duty.
Thank you for your service!
Nice to show family and friends a little bit of life on the boat. Just add in the fun of being submerged for months at a time.
This is what I want to do when I go to the navy, being an engineer on a sub. This video was so cool to be able to get a sneak peek of life on a submarine and got me excited for when I graduate high school. Can’t wait and thank you for making this video!
You can really tell Destin has just a huge passion for the stuff he does. Like a child at a space museum. Thanks for your really interesting channel man!
Level of professionalism and dedication of these sailors is mind blowing. So cool whenever one of the officers is talking on camera and there’s what sounds like an important announcement being made, they immediately recognize it, stop talking, guide their attention to the announcement, acknowledge it and resume talking. Their minds are on high alert at all times. Hats off to these bad asses!
It's not a life for everyone and being underwater isn't something you think about while underway. I served on two of the of 41 for freedom Boomers and I miss the life and would jump at the chance to go underway one more time.
More than two decades later, I still automatically stop talking whenever a PA announcement is made. Can't tell you how many times I've had to try to explain to family and colleagues...
@@johnmcgimpsey1825 Same here and still tell someone to "to say again" when I didn't hear them.
The dislikes are from the military personnel who had to go through frame by frame blurring out all important details for a 24 hour long multicam supervlog.😬😬

Great video Destin! Just finished the whole series. Amazing that you were provided with the access, but also thank you for taking the time and energy to make this video. Keep up the great work.
At first I was like "why is this video so damned long?" then, after what seemed like only a few minutes, I was like "wait, no why is it over already!" - way to make this so interesting and immersive! Thanks, Destin!
AGREE, IT FLEW!!!!!!! WISH IT WAS TWICE AS LONG! THANKS!
Not at 10:56 PM!
Immersive 😂
Immersive! Nice pun.
Wow. I am a former sub-sailor. The access you got just boggles my mind. I can tell you that folks I know of high ranks find your video work fascinating and incredibly accurate. You did an amazing job as a great service to the Silent Service.
I'm an Air Force Brat but really really appreciate this work.
I just realized. For that brief moment, YOU were in control of the sub! They waited till you said you were ready with your camera equipment to go down into the depths!!! Haha
actually sad this series is over, it was some of the most interesting stuff I've seen in a while, so much cool stuff happening even with the censorship.
Do you mean the censor ship ?
@@karasira2696 I'm sorry that pun was SUB par =p
im guessing the censorship is just them not revealing the coordinates of where they surfaced, maybe they use that spot a lot and dont want a potential enemy to know in case of war, and them not saying how they know where to surface might also be that same reason, and/or they get the information from an external source and would be vulnerable if an enemy were to stop them getting that info
@@artemislogic5252 well theres also knowing how they come up with information they need to make decisions could allow others to come up with ways of countering their specific way of information gathering.
The captain's pure skill is on display around 25 minutes in. His absolute trust in his crew is based on experience that feeds back into his trust. He's thoroughly connected with every operation, while staying uninvolved until he's needed. THAT is leadership.
And he's hot🤭
Yep, there is a place and time to speak, and when to say nothing and let them do their jobs.
Destroying our artic is not leadership it is sadistic, and Captain needs to be relieved of duty. ADM Boorda found our nuclear program the biggest contributor of our oceans heating up and our ice caps melting. Only a meth addict goes up into an ice cap and think it does no environmental damage. He is Captain Methhead.
@@emergencyrapidresponseteam7181 OK but... How is that the captain's fault? "Hello HQ, I just saw a KZhead comment that says 'military bad'... Mission aborted, we're coming home"
@@CullenCraft Before ADM Boorda was murdered, he was going to scrap the whole nuclear program and every single nuclear ship. Military Industrial Complex are TYRANTS!!!
Thank you Destin, and CMDR Cornell! What an interesting set of videos you've made. I really enjoyed it and have passed it on to friends.
I’m retired Navy. I really love your videos and especially those highlighting my shipmates doing their jobs so well. My field of ASW proved these sailors know their stuff. 🇺🇸🍺
As someone who served on a sub for 4 years, let me just say. This series barely scratches the surface on the tech and procedures that are needed to operate these machines. It's also fun knowing what some of the redacted audio is too lmao
Interesting why/what radio talk was redacted. Speed or other performance metrics?
Yes, tell us what the redacted is without telling us what it is.
@@accik Very likely to be some performance metric. Speed, depth, pressure
I sure was surprised that fact when hitting the ice with the sail, the ship can actually capsize. And made me wonder, how do they konw this... have that happened? It's kind obvious with a model sub, but... a real one.
🧢
big shoutout to the commander!! her idea inspired millions through this series!
Thanks to everyone involved in the making of this video. Truly amazing.
What an exciting video. These machines are simply astonishing, and I can only imagine how awesome your experience has been..
As a Submariner myself, I've really enjoyed this whole series (as well as all of your other videos) very much.
Still mad they didn't let him into the engine and reactor, but i understand why. Destin would have absolutely loved to see those.
Oogah shipmate. I too am a submariner. Qualified on JEFFERSON CITY SSN759.
What do you think was the reason they silenced that 3 seconds of audio? What was it likely to have been?
@@ophello specific valve numbers
@@ophello I thought they announced their coordinates or something
"Can you tell me the difference in depth?" "No." Probably seconds later: "I'm doing the math in my head." Power move, Destin.
Yeah, I'm sure we can see a little bit of fear in the Chief's eyes. "If he says the exact depth were at, we have orders to throw him overboard"
why is that info classified? It is literally written on the wikipedia page it can go as deep as 450m.
@@DanielBulyovcsity I've also wondered about this, but since the source for that claim is part of the Royal Navy, I guess it depends on if it knows the true capabilities of the boat. Also that data is now almost 15 years old, so maybe they were able to upgrade the maximum depth by reinforcing the hull? More importantly though it would tell you how maneuverable the boat is under water by gauging how many meters per second it can dive.
@@pyrob2142 There's also another really good reason to cut wher Destin did.... Submarine hulls 'pop' when diving and ascending. Any sonarperson worth their salt would kill to get a perfect audio recording of the hull pop of a known submarine from inside that sub.
@@DanielBulyovcsity Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia! ;D
One of the best video series I've seen. The Navy team and Dustin was great and made us viewers feel apart of the experience.
These machines have come a long way since the u-boat, but at the same time very similar. Fascinating engineering.

Awesome and a bit frightening. They are that serious for a reason and it has nothing to do with politics.
I spent 5 years on USS Atlanta SSN-712 and none of my family got to see half the stuff you showed on these video. I am glad you could show the world what goes on under the surface and how the US Navy is out there doing their jobs for this country. Thank you for telling these stories.
Submariners job is to destroy the environment and destroy our polar ice caps. Nuclear releases heat which is biggest contributor to our ice caps melting and our oceans rising. Nuclear ships needs to be banned which ADM Boorda was doing until he was murdered by our military industrial complex dictators.
As an Air Force veteran and engineer I am in awe of the amount of training these officers must learn. Thank You

I never imagined all those years ago, while watching a video showing how cats always land on their feet, that I'd get to see a supersonic baseball cannon, tour rocket factories, learn about core memory for flying the Saturn V, finally understand how helicopters work, and go inside a nuclear submarine. Destin, thank you for taking us on all these amazing journeys with you.

"If you're involved with stuff, that means your guys aren't ready" wise words from a great captain.
@seeni gzty Why are you thanking destin but replying to someone else entirely? lol
Command by negation
The best ad the Navy could ever hope to deliver Devilish intent aside, this was an amazing series to watch.
@Charming nowhere to hide from his previous work he most likely already has a security clearance, which means he can be trusted with secrets.
So glad others are seeing the truth as well. As fascinating as these videos are, the real intent is to encourage young people to join the navy based on all the pros given, and none of the cons. The saying, "Caveat emptor" comes to mind.
Hey, it's going to be impossible to spread double-anal to all corners of the globe if we can't staff those ships.
They could have taken colonialism to a whole new level; but chose otherwise and made no military acquisitions. Instead they go to war to defend people who say they want to be free. God Bless the young men and women and God Bless the USA.
yeah it's cool to learn about how this kind of thing works because i had never really even thought about the logistics of how a submarine would dive and surface and all that. but anytime someone makes a video involving the US military whether its to explain airplanes or boats or anything else theres always a little bit of stank to it when you think about all the kids watching that are gonna look into joining after seeing this, not really understanding the unfun and boring parts of the job or downright evil things the military can ask of people and the horrors they can get kids to contribute to
Wow! This is truly incredible content. Thank you Destin for producing this amazing series. Kudos!!
What an amazing series! Never had a clue what it was like on a submarine or why anyone would want to be trapped under water for months, but now I can see how interesting it can be.
I hate it is coming to an end but I learned so so much from this series!

@@chad6849 thx my friend made that one for me.
The group of people you were with had a different level of respect answering your questions by the end of your trip. They have respect for you its easy to tell. Best youtube series I've watched in a long time.
When you carry yourself with humility and respect for the work others do they will return it in kind. Destin is a Master class in being a real human being.
Just watched all of the series on the submarine. I was on the fast attack Trepang 674 30 years ago, amazing how much is the same. You did a great job! Thank you
As a former Grunt, this was an amazing look into another world I’ve always wondered about in the military. Thanks Dustin & the crew.
Destin, as a civilian who rides US Navy surface ships, let me just say how much I appreciate you, your work, and particularly and this series. You are a treasure.
I love how Destin can understand everything that the submariners say, no matter how technical. He does justice to how he breaks down every information he learnt from them for us to understand.
And yet somehow, we can understand what Destin is saying. He's pretty amazing.
The hardest thing is to explain and tone down advanced stuff to beginners or the folks that curious to learns stuff and making them understand. If you know the engineering theories or the science you will understand them, He is mech engineer
Considering he has degree in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering, that's easy for him to understand.
@@ramal5708 I remember hearing years ago somebody said "If you can't explain the most advanced things in a way a beginner would understand, then you yourself don't understand what you're talking about". Something along those lines, and in my life experience so far that still rings pretty true. Every industry and specialty has its own jargon regardless of whether it's some extremely advance military or space engineer or the checkout chick at a supermarket and that saying about echos all the way through the spectrum of these extremes. If you understand what you're talking about then in a relaxed environment explaining it to a moron on the topic should be no problem.
the fact that he had to cut audio when he said something is like wow
Just finished reading Thunder Below which inspired me to watch this series a second time. Thank you for making this and all of your content. You make learning fun and interesting.
Fantastic series! Thank you so much for taking us on board.
I never would have imagine how complex it is to pilot a submarine, I'm amazed at how smart everyone in the crew has to be. Thank you Destin and thanks to the Navy for letting us learn all this stuff. Greetings from Colombia
I live near the training school for these guys and am friends with a few. Every single one of them is wicked smart.
This whole series is like Tom Scott's signature "I got an email..." except on a massive scale

@@Kristian-ql8zw because they make a point in Russian sub commander training and in their designs to make the subs be able to go incredibly deep, they also hold most of the depth records that exist
@@Alf763 I'm sure the US Navy is just roaring to declassify its submarine depth capabilities just to hold a record, but that probably has more to do with Russian propaganda.
@@deiterp3912 test depth of the los Angeles class is 950ft, the test depth of a typhoon class Russian submarine is 3000ft, Russian subs are simply made to go lower and their commanders are willing to push it far more
Me at 3am: I need sleep My brain: YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SURFACE A SUBMARINE IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN
This was like coming home.... well nearly. I'm a retired RN submariner and it was great to see a dive 🙂 I do have to say guys.... You could have given him more of a ride. In the Royal Navy we call it angles and dangles... was always a fun experience and I never got bored of it. I think it's great that people got to see the fantastic world of a submariner. Even after 10+ years I still miss my second family 😥 Great job by the US navy. Just as professional as the RN. Interesting to see the similarities to 👍
This series on learning about submarines was amazing. Same as every video you put together, but I have a feeling pulling this one off was a lot of effort. You've given a lot of people the chance to learn about this and be part of it as they were there. Awesome job , Destin !
“How dangerous, how important, and how interesting” destin really really hit all these points home. And it’s kinda crazy how well these messages were conveyed.
100% agreed with this!!

29:30 - Watch the Captain's eyes during this time. He's keeping a close eye on everything in that space and stayed exceptionally calm. Great camera work Destin.
No matter who you are or what your doing at that moment….. if you are breaking through ice….. that is the look we all give….
I noticed something else really interesting about the captain, when he's having a side conversation with Destin he's still alert to his job. And when he needs to focus on the job he's got masterful body language to communicate that with.
@@Mengmoshu Command presence is a thing. They don't hand the keys to the boat to just anybody...
@@johnmcgimpsey1825 Yeah, I always figured as much. As a civilian I don't get to see it in action like this, and I wanted to point it out so other people could appreciate it with me.
Fantastic video! I could feel the tension when the Sub was coming up through the ice, even though am thousands of miles away. Well done, these submariners are real true professionals. 👍👍👍
Really REALLY enjoyed the series. Thank you for sharing it and explaining everything...
Destin, thank you so much for making this series. After growing up in South Mississippi, I served in the Navy from 2000 to 2004 and had the privilege of working aboard 2 LA class subs on 2 missions in the Pacific. At the time, I was in my early 20s, and didn’t really appreciate the experience as much as I feel I should have. These videos have taken me back in time and made me feel the pride and uniqueness of those experiences. Life on a submarine isn’t easy or comfortable, but it is something that very few people who have lived on this planet have had the chance to experience, and should be appreciated as such. Again, thank you Destin.
Thank you for being out there! Thank you for your service!
Man, this whole series was just AMAZING.. Coming from a country where you only see this things on TV I feel like I dived too lol! Thank you man!
Amazing job, this is such a great content! Thank you Destin and to everyone who make it happened
Hey I wanted to say thank you for making these videos. The first video I saw of yours was the see through carburetor which was amazing too. Always love learning new things and you never fail to deliver so thank you again
Destin is so happy he's giggling like a four-year-old. Love it.
Happy he got that secret money from the government to make ads for its amazing military.... to get more recruits.... and to scare other world powers. God bless America
@@brian8507 Chill tf down Brian
@@al0dmd why? I like living in the country that controls the earth.
@@brian8507 oh my god.
@@topazprism77 what bro?
This was one of the most incredible KZhead series I've ever seen.
i think is the msot impressive i have ever seen, what a trip!
What an INCREDIBLE experience. Thanks for documenting for us!
From Portugal... Blown off by the content!!! Really a great job. Congratulations to SmarterEveryDay anto the US Navy.
As a prior service member myself (Army), I have to say how much I appreciate the knowledge, respect, and duty shown in these videos. Destin, you put yourself in the submarine with the crew and conducted yourself in a admirable way. The seaman shown in these videos are a testament to the professionalism of the Navy. How freaking cool is it to be a submariner! I hope these videos will inform and excite a new generation of seamen to serve their country in some of the coolest jobs in the world! OPSEC was handled really well, I am so glad the Navy was able to work with you on releasing educational information that maintained the security of our service folk. EDIT: Also proud a fellow Huntsville native is able to do such amazing videos!
It made me extremely happy that subs actually have the awoooga siren and that wasn't just something that Hollywood has lied to me about
Me too!
New boats dont, but hearing the real diving alarm agajn made me smile.
Googled awoooga siren and found this on Wikipedia: "Many modern submarines still have Klaxon diving alarms (mostly supplied by crew members or unofficial sources, usually not NAVSEA) paying homage to USN submarine tradition." The klaxon are not standard equipment anymore, the boats are now equipped with more modern alarms, built into the 1MC
Ours didn't, it was a super weird sound we had
absolutely brilliant, what a brilliant experience thank you for taking us along, and thanks to the crew and others for coming out of the deep to help us understand their special World.
Just revisited the series and it still blows my mind how hard and complicated things are in the world underwater.
I somehow always end up with a smile after watching SmartEveryDay.
Wow i realized that same happens to me
Jodie Cornell deserves a promotion for bringing us this awesome series. Seriously cool.
Not too much room for promotion if you're already a commander lol
Omg … this is a TIMELESS video , international space series coming up! Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!
