Coast Guard Medevac off U.S. Navy submarine

[Jnewman161616]

being a civilian and actually going on this exact sub has influenced me to go MM submarine.. i wont name which sub it is.. but its a beast..

She's an Ohio class SSBN fleet ballistic missile nuclear submarine. 558 feet 10 inches from stem to stern, 44 feet across, 18,204.7 tons submerged displacement. The largest submarine (in the Western world, anyway - the Soviet "Typhoon" class [aka Akula, or Project 941]) is slightly shorter but twice as wide). Fun fact: only 10% of the ship's mass is above the waterline when she's surfaced; for every foot you see here, there's nine more underwater.

Where is the Navy SAR? Why in this case are the Coast Guard?

[Dogmeat1950]

[SoccerBoy77]

@Captus15 perhaps because the coast guard air station was closer then a naval air station...that and this is just another day at the office for the coasties....

[Dogmeat1950]

@Captus15 cause the USCG was in the area.

Wow - they just fit in that conning tower - are they still called that? lol If the guy couldn't climb into the basket, how would they have gotten him in? That is so small...guess they don't use it like in the old days!

It's a boomer. And, the Navy won't i.d. which sub because it's on patrol.

[NikkeinJapan]

Damn! It's like that scene from Hunt for Red October...but in reverse.
