Do these things scare the living fuck out of anyone else? I cant be the only one here

at least its not space

Holy flying fuck. Thats so god damn scary.

I would honestly rather be dead space status than being in some shit like K-19.

What a fucking nightmare. Fuck the ocean and everything in it.

I used to play music with a dude who was apparently a former mechanic for nuclear reactors on subs. Never got any stories from him

One time I was getting into my rack after watch. When I hopped in, I felt something lukewarm soak into my clothes. I put my finger in the dampness, and smelled it. Turns out it was some leftover baby batter from the guy that jumped racks.

>1 atm vs 15 atm of pressure differencial
I’d rather go in space.

Torpedo failed, not the sub. Stay mad Jose.

the irony of this post is astounding.

the sub still sunk, so what does it matter if it was the rust bucket sub or the old ass torpedo? at the end of the day it was still caused by Russians being brain dead morons.

Is it weird I would have zero issue with being in space but would possibly be constantly uneasy deep underwater?

It is not the amount of materiel between your and death that should concern you, but the constant maintenance and operation of the machinery around you. If the machine quits working, you die.

in a sub you die immediately, in space you have a few seconds before you go, granted its only a few seconds, but its the most painful few seconds you will ever experience as you are simultaneously roasted alive by the sun, frozen to death by the vacuum, and have all your oxygen sucked out of you through your skin.

For a long time, I wanted to be a submarine officer. Now I am a couple days from shipping to Marine Corps bootcamp. Perhaps I should GI Bill my way through college after this and make it happen.

You would actually last a bit longer than that. It's not like in the movies where people die really fast in space, you can google it.

The conditions are such that a person could survive about as long in space as they could underwater (Provided you're not really close to the sun), a few minutes until death by asphyxiation. And your eyes wouldn't explode out of your head, either or any of that stuff.

The bummer about space is, even if they pull you in, you're going to be pretty fucked up as a result of gas coming out of solution in your blood, 'the bends', basically.

Depends. Are we talking about explosive decompression, or just exposition to vacuum? Inside or outside of a vehicle?
Only thing I can safely say is that you won’t have the time to freeze because vacuum is a good isolator.

well i was just talking about exposure to a vacuum, but i guess an explosive decompression would get you pretty fast.

>Only thing I can safely say is that you won’t have the time to freeze because vacuum is a good isolator.

But you'll basically get freeze dried. Without the atmospheric pressure, any moisture in the vacuum gets turned into gas form pretty damn quickly.

Skin is pretty good at containing moisture thought. While it may feel cold, I’d be willing to bet that significant evaporation would take some time, definitely more than 90 seconds (estimated time before cardiac arrest). Besides, animals (and humans) have survived limited expositions to vacuum, so I doupt freeze drying is a short term issue.

Hello Billy Joel

aw don't say that the oscar is a cutie, so wide it looks goofy with the sail placement

in space if you dont die due to extreme sun bad times, you will do a few things depending on your body's contents: Start farting and shitting, and barfing if there is any gas in your gut. have fun with that.

The rubber tiles on the outer hull get chewed up really quickly.

Which caused the sub to fail. A failed sub is an awful sub. And then everybody dies.

I'm sure the scare Argies more than the thought of Maggie Thatcher rising from the dead

>Which caused the sub to fail.
Sub did not fail, apparently American education did in your case.

The sub did fail. A ship is only as good as her crew and they all died because Russia cannot into damage control or maintenance.

Or rescue.
Or detecting that one of their subs went tits up right under the rest of its fleet while it was showing up on seismographs in other countries.

Bitch, let me tell you a thing or 2 about submarines.
Now this ain't no shit, I got my fish in 2012 on a Boomer.

You wanna know what steel sounds like when it is under extreme sea pressure?
It creaks.
But not like trees in the wind, which sound alive and just kind of creepy.

Steel groans.
It legitimately groans, like a dying cat who just happens to have gone in to heat the exact moment the kitty AIDS force the final breath from the animal.
It is an empty, hollow sound that I will never forget.
That and the sound of a P3 Orion's radar.

And you want to know what's really fun?
2x° rolls in extreme sea state, because the OOD is a Dick and wants to pull down sailormail from the passive broadcast.
Fuck you, WEPS.

>Sub gets gigantic hole in front
>Sub sinks
>Entire crew dead
Sounds like a failure to me

>Sub did not fail

It exploded...

You think that is bad? We had boats at Pearl Habor that sunk and survivors were alive for 11 days after being submerged. They were banging on bulkheads and we could hear them but had no way to get them out. 11 fucking days of being trapped in a tiny ass pitch black room with 4 other men just waiting to die. Your fellow navymen just above the surface unable to rescue you because of technological short comings.

Tell us more about being on a submarine papa. Like anything and everything.

Same dude here.
We had a Nub who just qualified sticks(Driving the Submarine) who didn't realize that he got seasick.

Long in the short, while attempting to maintain comms we have to drive shallow and slow, but doing so makes it so the big butch gets pushed around by the waves like a petite white woman at an all Negro gangbang.

So this Nub was sitting sticks right after Sunday dinner, which just happened to be steak and crab legs. Apparently watching the Primary Depth Gauge, the Primary Course, using his hands to maintain course and depth, all the while getting rocked back and forth more than a few degrees was too much for the poor boy.
He vomited all over his poopie.

Dive freaked
OOD freaked
Stern planes freaked
COW had to be relieved because the smell was gonna make him vomit as well.

We had to switch total control to outboard for 30 minutes, and had to have the messages and the offgoing watch section come and clean up the puke.

Fun times were had by all

You too. Stories. More stories.

We shoot almost all trash to the bottom of the sea is aluminum cans with holes in them.

The food is good, we had a cook who was so good at making soup that you wanted to stab the guy next to you and steal him bowl.

I stole the XOs door on halfway night, blamed it on the nukes, 30 minute chase scene ensued. I only returned it for a promise of immunity and a bucket of ice cream I could enjoy in the wardroom, alone.

The engineroom smells like a carnival Porto-potty.

I once traded a can of monster and a dip can to an A-ganger for "help" with my diesel checkout.

About 2/3 of the way through each patrol we had what we called "The Marketplace" where we traded porn with other guys, because by this time in a patrol you are already burning through your stash like a crackhead.

I do not understand 30% of what you are saying and it excites me.

We did midi runs during one patrol.
That's when midshipmen, people in college who want to be officers, come onboard for a day or two to "See what Submarine Life is Like".

So we bring these college fucks onboard, and we had been underway for about xx days, with no port calls and very little surface time.
This group was all women.
And, brother, the smell of vagina and perfume is the single most invigorating thing to a man.

Skipping to the good part.

You can't fraternize with midshipmen if you are and enlisted Fuck.
We caught one of the more Buxom Midshipmen getting rigged for dive(all holes being plugged) by 2 a-gangers and a sonar tech. One of the A-gangers and the Sonar tech were married, not to each other, but their wives were popular in the FRG.
They call went to mast, got busted down, and as a punishment had to write emails to their wives explaining why they got busted a rank.
Radio chief never sent the emails off, because he was a bro.

If you guys have any questions about submarine life, feel free to ask.

I did 5 years, 4 on a boomer.

These are just off the top of my head. Write novels. Saying anything that a never-sailor who will never likely go on a boat bigger then a pontoon will never experience.

This is normal.

Submarines are like a giant underwater fraternity.
We have, we grill, we have fun.
Just no alcohol.

So in order to get your Submarine Warfare Qualification, aka "Fish", you have to have a basic competence about all the systems of the submarine.

From the Primary and Secondary cooling loop, to the Trim and Drain System, and how a drop of sea water can power the light above your head.

Some divisions take their job a little too seriously.
Auxiliary division, or A-gangers, are the non-nuclear wrench monkeys of the boat.
They spend their days chasing air, water and poop, and without them the ship would LITERALLY DIE.
Or so they would have you believe.

Their crown piece of equipment is the diesel generator.
They love this thing.
The A-gang chief has to fornicate with this thing once an underway.

And since they love their baby, they want everyone to know just as much about their baby as they do.
And you need to get a competent petty officer to sign your qual card, attesting that you passed his knowledge check about the system he knows.
This is usually a pain the in anus.

I bypassed this by bribing a guy with monster and dip.
Because there is no way I would ever operate the diesel.

When I got out we did 18 hour days, where you were asleep for 6 hours, on watch for 6 hours, and then we're expected to do maintenance and study for the next 6 hours.
Rinse repeat.

My personal rotation was sleep for 8 hours, wake up, shower, eat, then take the watch for 6 hours.
After my watch was done I would do an hour or two of maintenance on my systems, watch a movie, then go to bed.

On subs they tape a string from one bulkhead to another port to starboard. At the surface this string is completely horizontal and tight. The further you go down in depth the more and more this string starts to visibly sag and droop.

>2 men who had not smelled a woman in months are entombed with young horny THOTs that want SEAmen
>they are punished and brought down in rank
This feels wrong to me.

>what kind of food quality did you have/were cooks super stars?
The food was... okay.
Better than the surface fleet, but not as good as food at home.

>what are unexpected perks to being on a sub?
Lot of training for the outside world. We had A-gangers learn to work on HVAC systems, navy paid for training and everything, who were getting headhunted near the end of their contract for high paying jobs.

>what are unexpected cons to being on a sub?
Putting your life on pause for 3 months every other 3 months.
I was on a Boomer, so the standard deployment schedule is supposed to be:
Cree A goes for a 3 month patrol
Short refit/repair time
SWAP CREWS
Crew B goes out for 3 month patrol
Short refit/repair period
SWAP CREWS

Unfortunately it never happened that way. Almost 4 month patrols were common, long periods of radio silence, and after one patrol I had to ask a stripper who "Nikki Minaj" was.

>was the sound of the ocean around you comforting or scary or just different?
Shrimp click
Dolphins chatter
Sea life Boise's don't make it through the hull, its too thick.

>what does hollywood get absolutely fucking wrong every time there is a sub movie?
If you want an accurate movie about the serious parts of sub life, watch "Das Boot".
If you want an accurate movie about the underway shenanigans, look to "Down Periscope"

>what is the submarine culture like?
Giant underwater frat house.
Just few girls and no alcohol.

>what is the most undie pissing shitting while running holyfuckingchrist I don't want to die situation on a submarine?
Hearing the groan of Steel during a post-refit deep submergence. I was still a Nub and didn't know what to expect.
Most fun:
Angles and dangles.

>Just few girls and no alcohol.
Sooooo lots of maintenance in the torpedo tube or are they protected and hidden away?

Thus the reason why Radi-bro chief didn't send the emails off hull.
Losing a rank and the pay that goes with it was enough punishment in his mind.

That and he knew for a fact the Fire Control chief was fucking the female supply officer who did an entire patrol with us.

I appreciate Russian air defense, but

The gun failed because the person holding it was not educated enough on firearms safety.

Familiar? You sound like a gun grabbing Liberal.

I had to crawl inside of one tube and write my name in grease pen to get my Torpedo Systems checkout.
I was told it was "To make sure you know how the safety interlocks work, and prove you trust them". This was bullying, but their were many other names written inside of the Tube, which was cool.

We slept next to the torpedos one patrol because we had a large inspection team come underway with us, and they "needed" their own bunk room.

Angles and dangles?

This is true.
Can confirm, although the movies play it up for dramatic tension.

If you start with a taught rope, when you get down deep their were be some slack in the line.
When you get really deep the line will be drooping to a good amount.

I swear to christ they are purposely fishing for (You)s by using insanely obscene sub slang.

Hey man if they keep telling stories and shit I'll give them yous all day

A term for when the boat goes really fast, then does pulls a drastic Dive.
The exact angle is... I'm not going to tell you, but it is significant enough that you are in danger of you hold on the the overhead while the depth change is in progress.
Then the boat levels out, gets back up to speed, then pulls a sharp rise, meeting the same angle as the dive was.

Fun thing to note, if you stand up and try to walk you are doing a dang good impression of the Micheal Jackson Lean.

Holy fuck these stories are cool. Submariners have always facinated me.

There is no pressure in space. That, coupled with extreme holy dlying fuckballs cold, your blood will instantly "boil", your lungs will pop, then your eyes, then you will freeze dry. If you dont beleive me, go buy a vacuume chamber, a pump, and a strawberry.

You too cunt.

>torpedo exploded, blowing off the entire front half of the fucking sub, and a fireball chased through like 6 chambers, also killing the commander, along with the control room.
Even if the commander survived, there is absolutely nothing that could be done. The sub was fucked, retard.

This is scary shit. Ive listened to many audio recordings of that. I would never actually want to be standing in a sub when its actually happening around me. Fuck that with a flank steak.

Fuck the navy, fuck the ocean, fuck ships. That kind of thing is so scary dude.

Heh. I remember reading a story about a sub crew that couldnt figure out what the fuck the noises were, and they eventually figured out that some specialized rubber coating on the outside of the sub was being quickly destroyed or compromised. They immediately returned to base and found their sub was being attacked by swarms of cookie cutter sharks tearing off holes of their hull.

Ive flown over the atlantic before (FUCK THAT OCEAN IN PARTICULAR) and i was horrified at just how massive and expansive it is.

I got a buddy in the navy right now whos on that carrier that was stationed next to north korea. He tells me that at night the ship is extra fuckin creepy because there are monster waves that can move the carrier around, its pitch fuckin dark, and hes gotta watch for people who go overboard (yea good luck getting someone back if you fall off a carrier)

Also added bonus of it being a verified haunted ship.

That's a fun mental image, some horrible person decides to space a dude in the future but first loads him up with horribly gassy food so when he get booted out he starts shitting.

You can still to a super tacticool swing through it by grabbing on to the handle above it.

Honestly there were many times I would forgot I was even on a submarine for a day or two.
Then we would have a fire or flooding or HP air rupture, or a fluff fluff roll drill

The surgeon is pleased.

whats scarier, being in a sub or a spaceship?

There's an unsurprising amount of difference between a strawberry and a people. NASA and the DOD has had enough stupid shit go wrong and blown up enough chimps to know that while you'll get some pretty nasty swelling and tissue damage your skin is enough of a wrapper to prevent your blood from boiling off and your eyes won't explode like party poppers.

You will swell up sorta like the guy in Big Trouble in Little China and if you held your breath your lungs would burst. The big thing that kills you is the total lack of oxygen and Mr. Brain needing that sort of stuff to live. In theory you could still be recovered from open vacuum after a minute or two but you're gonna be pretty fucked over.

I do recommend blowing up fruit in a vacuum enclosure though, it's worth the time. Same with turning on incandescent lightbulbs in a microwave and torching CDs.

Ugh. That noise.

Have yall ever had any close calls with sub hunters, narrow coral channels, or anything in the area of "oh fuck we might die"?

A really cool except from another submarine user - (I really wish i screen capped that thread.)

Supposedly he was in either an oscar, or ohio class sub. Some sort of really stupid important combat sub and I guess they were being either hunted or tracked by the russians. They were pinging the sonars looking for them and taking recordings trying to find them. I guess it was ABSOLUTELY FUCKING IMPERATIVE that they WERE NOT to get any recordings of the sub because the russians dont have any record of what that submarine sounds like, or its sound pattern. The commander was freaking the fuck out and hatched a plan

They radioed either more navy, or the marines to get the fuck out there with as many boats as they could possibly spare, and have each one set the engines to full blast and completely obliterate the sonars and listening equipment so they couldnt lock on to the sound signature of this sub. The calvalry came in and they got the fuck out of there. Apparently, they didnt get the signature, so everything was gucci.
