I wish you had included some of the submarines of the early 20th Century, like Schweiger's U-20, and like the Japanese # 6 which sank in a trial before the war. But I am glad you included C.S.S. Hunley.
Another great job Snakes. My only complaint is that the Russian sub Kursk was not actually a ballistic missile sub (SSBM), but it was an attack sub equipped to carry cruise missiles.
There's a story about the only survivor from HMS Vandal, the only reason he survived was that he became sick the day of Vandal's final voyage. For 60 years he blamed himself for the disaster because one of his jobs was making sure the aft hatch was secured prior to diving, and his replacement was inexperenced. It wasn't until the wreck was located, that he was finally releaved of all that guilt because the expedition found the aft hatch securley closed
There's a saying, in war once the bullets start flying ideology and causes are forgotten, and what matters the most to those at the front is the person next to them.
It takes a special breed of person to live the hard lives soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have to live, and an even more elite person to lead them into combat
@SuperAncientmariner You my friend are and always will be a Submariner, once qualified you always are unless taken away by the Navy so rock on buddy, we're still Submariners!! ;)
the moment he died my grandma saw his ghost walking up her stairs with his uniform on. She said the buttons on his jacket were extremely bright. She knew at that moment he died:(
yo snakes, once a submariner, always a submariner. There is no god below 400 ft,

It takes a special breed of person to be able to live that life. I know I could not do it.
Very brave people. For sure.
Good video as always =)

Great video. But it would have been almost perfect if you had a pic with Hunley after it was recovered
