I was on the Michigan Blue crew from 1991 to 1995 as a reactor operator. I often use my experience on the Michigan as a reference of how bad life could be. But, because of my experience on that boat, I now work at a civilian nuclear power plant. "Learning by burning" has changed my life. Keep the dive to surface ratio at exactly one.

I am glad to see this video. I served on-board this submarine with the blue crew from 200-2005. I had a blast. I miss the people that I served with. Too bad they don't have sub service in the civilian life...

Cheers

wow! this video made me want to cry. the USS michigan was my husband's and my first comamnd and a big part of our navy and family life. we left he USS michigan right before it when into conversion. lots of good memories!

[trethoma]

I was there! My hubby is still attached to the USS Michigan. I didn't see him in any of the pics in this video,  but I have my own!

Frame 1:27 -- Notice the threaded holes for the eyelets so the yard crane can lift the inserts back out. Presto-Magic! Its an SSBN again! That's PLUS 4 in the SSBN category, anytime we need it! Shhhh... don't tell anybody. Its probably a big secret....

@PrideRunsDeep wow, you must be a genius

[etschmitt]

I served aboard her as an SSBN from 1989 to 1994. Our cooks were awesome. One from the PI and another a french pastry chef. Our food was great and the Gold crew's was even better! It was a great experience and she is a great boat! Tuebor!

[joebufffan]

You served on an SSBN? Cool. I am in the 8Th grade and I want to join the navy and get into a submarine career and work on the USS Ohio SSGN. If you want to read a good story about the Ohio SSGN, go to a bookstore- or you can buy online- and look for "silent service: Ohio class" by H. Jay Riker. I am on chapter 3 and I like it. Please E-mail me if you can.

I served on board during 1997 to 2001 and I didn't think the food was that great. Then again our cooks were all retards. So it makes sense that the food was edible at best.

[etschmitt]

im about to join the gold crew after stand down. what is tuebor? im also ready to hit the deckplates running, get qualed and do what ive been trained to do.

[SpartanM621]

Wolveren Power,eh? Lol

[beezalax13]

That is one bad ass sub. I hear they have the best food in the military on those boats.

[wazupjones]

you heard wrong! our cooks suck!!! lol

[ImminentlyWise]

wooo hooo, I was there lol. sigh, I miss our boys.

The perfect replacement for the failed arsenal ship concept and a very practical conversion of an existing platform to meet the needs of today's military. Not to mention she carries the name of a very fine state!
