The Finnish "nuclear professional" is disillusioned. As someone who probably operated only one nuclear plant, he probably believed all plants were similar to his. If his plant was not safe, that's on Finland, not the rest of the world. Most other countries employ independent organizations to ensu...

@vansieg Try just over 20 years, however, not totally out of service until 5 years ago. It would have been possible to bring the Iowa into service rather rapidly until 5 years ago, so, if its set between 2003 (commissioning of the USS Ronald Reagan, the featured CVN-76) and 2006 (striking of the ...

@dave2806 Sailors still typically call it "the boat."

Even with our carrier, we refer to it as "the boat." We don't care about the technical terms all the time.

Meltdown. Not possible at the Fukushima plants. Anyone who actually knows anything about Nuclear Power knows that.

The most impressive parts are what he can't talk about. I've got an inkling of what they might be, as a few of my friends serve on Virginia-classes. The non-classified stuff is amazing. The classified stuff, they...

Unfortunately, this video gives you little to no idea what you actually do as a Nuclear Reactor Officer or Enlisted operator. Granted, that's because they don't want to say anything classified...

Oh god, i'm so glad I saw this.

I was just bout to rip the tag off of my mattress.

Thank you, for misrepresenting and defaming my comment with a lack of understanding what I was even saying. I was saying the most intelligent of the military, not that the military in it's entirety was the most intelligent.

And you'd be entirely surprised about how the Navy finds ways to use cur...

False. A C-130 Hercules, with a light enough payload, can make an unassisted (without arrester cables, which most fighters can't do) carrier landing, and can make a take-off unassisted by catapult or JATO from one as well. The Herky Bird is one glorious aircraft.

Guy doing the video seemed to presume too much about what everything was and didn't take in enough.
