Better how? More. Exciting? More realistic?
If you want excitement, BT got it, U-571 all the way.
If you want realistic, and you won't believe this, it's Down Periscope. No joke.

so you would rate life on a submarine as a 5.9 out of 10?

I got into better sleep habits probably 6-7 years after Navy when the youngest started sleeping through the night.Working on a submarine and now having a young child have groomed me into someone who only gets/needs 4-6 hours. If I sleep 7-8 hours I am dragging ass all day.How long ya been out? After eight years of standing watch, it took me a few years to get back to regular sleep of 7-8 hours. Thirteen years later... I need my sleep.
I don't like it, but it is what it is.
I got out in 2009, so maybe a few more years and I'll get back to 'normal'?
@Dlew- don't let me paint a picture of years and years at sea, I got out in '09 because of a jacked up shoulder (that still isn't fixed). But yes, submarine life is something that can't be understood unless you do it yourself. It's a whole different world.
IPA4Me - what was your rate? (If you don't mind me asking)
MM1 NUC. You?

can we have a submarine stories thread? do people have claustrophobic breakdowns despite knowing what they were getting into? does the whole thing creak and groan when you do a super deep dive? what constitutes a super deep dive? i want to know all this stuff
I'm sure we 'could'.
Yes.
Not really.
That's one I really can't tell you, it really is Top Secret.
:)
Do you get to drink Coke and eat popcorn on a submarine? Is that also Pop Secret?
Yes, and sometimes. No, that stuff isn't PS.
This thread really is about to get derailed, isn't it? What have I done?!
Here's a submarine story from my early days of BBS'n. I originally read it on Sherdog back in the mid 2000's. I couldn't find that version, but here is another one. (it came out later that Keith is a documented crazy)

Can you get internet in a sub?

Not sure if Internet is possible. When I was there, no outside comms except family grams once a week. Mail drops were once a month or so. So we mostly had no outside communication. Sucked.

It's probably mostly accumulated gross human leavings. Hair, dead skin, spit, sweat, blood, semen, phlem, stuff like that.

Do you really get that annoyed if somebody says "ship" instead of "boat"?Yes. We really do. It's a historical thing.
Quote from: mocat, again
was the XO everybody's pal, while the skipper was a big dickhead?CO wasn't dick, but he wasn't buddy-buddy either. XO was cool, but not nearly as cool as the NAV(Navigator). If he liked you, when we would run while surfaced and you were lucky enough to be in the sail with him, you could burn a stogie together, his treat. One of the coolest things I ever saw was what I didn't. Up in the sail, in the middle of the night, and all around you nothing but pitch black, and the sound of the water breaking over the bow. [/quote]
Quote from: a couple different ppl
Re: submarine sandwiches.Originated from shipyard workers in Groton, CT. No, not a staple food onboard. "They" say that submariners are the best fed sailors in the Navy, and for the first week or two of an underway (and immediately after a port call) they're right. After the fresh milk and eggs run out though? Not so much.

can you launch other stuff out of the torpedo tubes like they launched Spock's corpse out of the Enterprise in Wrath of Khan? like just toss an apple core and some other garbage in there and blast it to the fish?As a Torpedoman(TM) I can tell you it was way too tedious to do that.

Post by: IPA4Me on February 07, 2014, 09:35:13 AM
Do you get to practice being on the sub before you have to commit to going? Like stay in the sub for a few hours to see if you totally lose your mind or something.No but you do go through some different drills for fire fighting and flooding. If you can't handle the drills in a controlled environment, then you can't handle being on the sub.

is the official food the submarine sandwich? if not, why not?I don't think there was an official food. We ate well underway. It was rare that we had a bad meal. Half way night (roughly midway through patrol) was the best meal. Prime rib. King crab. Mmm. Mmm. Usually had some leftovers for the next couple of dinners too.

Why do they say "flank?" Flank means to the side right?All Ahead Flank.

I want to return to Halifax. That was a great place.

Torpedos don't exactly have a sharp tip. I'm still going with bounce.if you launch a torpedo at an enemy boat and a dolphin or orca or something swims in the way will it just blow the eff out of it or will it bounce off and not detonate?Bounce. Metal detection thing.
wouldn't it just blast right through flesh and continue to it's target?
this brings all your answers into question...
Yeah I don't think dolphins and orcas wear Kevlar.

A torpedo isn't going to travel at a high enough rate to "blast right through" anything. There are multiple ways to detonate them, though. (No, I can't tell you what they are)

"chief, make us as silent as a hole in the water"
"chief, i need you to refuckulate the port screw valve on the crank carbonator bearing clamps, or we're going to be fish food before you take your next stogie break in the torpedo john"
We use feet, not meters.
Boomers do pretty much exactly that.

What happened to you the first time you crossed the equator?????
Great question. Since we all know that the water in a toilet flushes the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere (fact, science), what happens if a toilet was flushing as you cross the equator? Does it immediate stop and start swirling in the opposite direction (my guess), or is the rule that it gets to continue the rotation based on what hemisphere it started in (stupid and boring).

So what happens when a shipmate/submariner has a baby? Do they have you rise and help them back to a mainland or what? I mean r and r and suchThat depends on the mission. Sometimes, a tug boat would meet you an hour or so from port to take him home. Sometimes you just had to wait.

Do you mean if someone dies onboard?? That's pretty damn rare.
EDIT: for that^^^ one, refer to IPA4Me's answer.
If a family member dies, it's each man's personal decision to be notified underway or not (check yes or no on pre-underway paperwork). So if someone doesn't want to know, and the Radioman get's a message about it, he has to go the whole underway looking at that guy, knowing something terrible that he can't tell him. Not kidding.

Why does it take so many people to run a submarine? Should be possible with a crew of 12, IMO.
British boats are much more automated than ours. Their engineering watch is something like 3 or 4 watchstanders and from their version of maneuvering, they can pretty much dial up any plant parameter and view the reading from there. Something all the nukes dream of on a US boat. I've been aboard England's version of the Trident and it's crazy. They have carpeting and tiled ceilings around the ship.
However, while their stuff might be pretty slick, our boats are much more durable with less digital things to break. If you ever go tour one of the ex-navy ship turned museum at various places around the country and can get to the engineroom, you are pretty much looking at what the modern day sub engineroom looks like. Not that much has changed.
Post by: jc_jax on February 10, 2014, 08:41:26 PM
Does anyone ever get on the PA and say something like "hey guys we have some leftover pizza in the armory if anybody wants some" and then there's a mad shuffle to the armory enough so that the boat starts to lean a little bit and when everyone gets there there's some mother rough rider smiling with pizza crumbs all over his face and a big JK LOL sign?
Groups of guys moving around the boat can definitely affect the trim. It's one of the things folks like to do for newly qualified Dive Officers. One of the things that we always will do every watch is to get a perfect trim (the boat is neutrally buoyant with zero angle on the ship) at 3 knots (which is very slow). We do this to make sure if we have to go to periscope depth in a hurry, we have a reasonably good idea of the trim so the Dive knows how much water to bring on. This ensures the boat doesn't accidentally broach in places that aren't welcoming to a nuclear sub in their midst...
So, while newly qualified Dives are trying to do this, some of their "buddies" will go to the front end of the boat and wait. The Dive sees the front end is heavy, so pumps water aft. While that's going on, the guys all move aft. Now, the boat is heavy aft and the Dive has to pump fwd. Rinse and repeat.
These are the types of hilarious hi jinks you come up with on Day 70 of a patrol...
Post by: jc_jax on February 10, 2014, 08:59:11 PM
how often do you surface and get some fresh air?
Rarely. We would try and surface once a patrol once the mission was complete, but that's about it and only because the CO liked it. We did try and go to PD at least once a watch. While at PD, you can raise a mast and ventilate the ship if conditions support.

can you launch other stuff out of the torpedo tubes like they launched Spock's corpse out of the enterprise in Wrath of Khan?
In one movie didn't they launch a bunch of junk out the tubes to trick the folks depth charging them on the surface into thinking they sunk her?
Yes, that was in U-571. They launched a body in that junk as well. It COULD be done, but wouldn't happen. unless we could convince Timhawk and Kim Carnes to tour the boat...

Seriously though how do you not really hurt yourself when you guys do those jump out of the water drills?I slept through one. I was tired as hell from drills and didn't even feel it. The second one was more eventful watching the cooks chase pots and pans across the galley. Pictures from the surface make it seem much more dramatic. A much smaller fast attack might launch a lot higher.

Why does it take so many people to run a submarine? Should be possible with a crew of 12, IMO.Great question. I'm sure it could be done with maybe half the crew if there were more automatic controls. Navy uses a lot of manual control systems. Wouldn't be possible for twelve people to run the submarine. It takes that many just for a boomer engine room.
So it's like a billion dollar cast iron hull full of knob turners?

They wanted me to be a subfarer when I wanted to be a corpsman. They said that because of dui that I couldn't be the medical corpsman that I wanted. But after a year as a subfarer, I could see about doing what I wanted. They didn't tell me this until the very end of meps. Broke my heart. So I didn't join.
Also, that shark submarine show was fake. made me sad.

They've been missing far too long. Likelihood of survival is quite slim.expert on this mornings new cycle said that they *may* have 1-3 more days. But yeah, even if they found them, the chances of being able to reach them in time are slim.

I wonder why they don’t swim out from an escape hatch...yes- sharks are a concern but it’s not like they can eat all of the submarinersYou don't wanna know what happens before you have to do that. Id rather die of oxygen deprivation...

It's not like they're scuba diving. They're in a pressurized container. I don't think they would get a serious case of the bends. It's more about being able to reach the surface and not freezing to death or drowning during the ascent.

They were probably getting ready to make another run at the Falkland Islands.

and depending on depth, the pressure. more than about 100 ft and you have serious physical issues

The water pressure is really the least of the problems. They train to escape from about 100m down but that is extremely shallow for the ocean. Much deeper and you're gonna have trouble getting back to the surface before you drown.probably an air thing or two on the submarine that they could use to help with the issues of air
sharks, yes- I don’t think that there are other oceanic predators that they would deal with other than the shark
could even use the air deals to fend off the sharks however it’d be tough because you have 40 men and women who also need breathe/O2. although if the O2 is concentrated enough it may last longer
from hatch to surface with concentrated O2 thing should take roughly 35 seconds. multiply that by 40 and you’re at ~25 minutes give or take to account for hatch issues

If they're not already floating with their steinke hoods, they're in water that's too deep for escape. Sad deal.Exactly. All jokes aside, never good to hear things like this. Hope they're all floating around together somewhere and found alive.

230' of water. Really surprised they didn't attempt an escape.
Praying for a successful rescue today.
