When I boarded the USS Toledo I did not know I was going to be given the opportunity to crawl down a torpedo tube. Honestly I was thinking I would have a conversation with someone about the periscope or something but it did not occur to me that when you are under the ice you cannot use the periscope. When they asked me if I wanted to see a torpedo tube I didn’t realized I had no clue how they worked. Most people overlook this seemingly simple system, but when you take a moment and analyze it you will realize it is quite complicated. I hope this is the level of detail you were hoping for in the submarine series, because this is what gets me excited. I haven’t decided which video is next but I’ll tell you this, I did not know one of the methods they use on board to make oxygen. Anyways, thank you for watching the series and please consider subscribing if you feel like this is worthy of your time. I don’t know if you’re the type of person that likes to share videos with other people, but I would appreciate it if you could pass the submarine series on to a friend or two. As always, I would like to express my gratitude to people who support Smarter every day on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/SmarterEveryDay . I am thankful for the support, and the next video has a special surprise for you, the Patrons.

I’m claustrophobic and your not getting me on a sub let alone a torpedo tube!

5th .

Mjjjjj?mmmm

I still have one question, the torpedo is not level with the tube in the sub, do the like rotate it to that position or what? It didn't look to be enough space to just lift it.

Hello! I am a brand new subscriber. I have ALWAYS wanted to see inside a submarine and understand it. But I couldn't, properly as I have disabilities which prevented me from doing so. I am loving how you can explain things in a non patronising manner, which is easy to understand even to a new viewer. This type of stuff you post is helping keep me sane on the bad days, where my condition keeps me bed bound. And I am having so much fun watching it, so thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart. I found you through Mark Roben (sp?), the NASA fellow who you are friends with: I'm starting with his glitter bomb porch pirate stealing payback packages! Please keep it up. I have a lot of content to catch up on it seems.

13:36 but then it seems to me that the second tank is now filled with additional water. Before the process this tankbwas indicated as empty.

I am all for education and appreciate these videos. I just wonder how our enemies may exploit information gained from such videos to their advantage and to our disadvantage. Should these things be deemed classified? What do you say?

how to die: step one: crawl in a nuclear submarines torpedo tube step two: FIRE

Destin gets in Navy: You really think you will get away with all this information. Shoot tube 1

Omg, I just watched that exercise on YouTube! You were one of the cameramen? That's crazy!

beetle juice: bout', 20 ft?

i woulod not be able to climb in there lol i would be so afraid of getting stuck

Alt name for this video: Russian spy secretly shows Russian military how American nuclear sub torpedo tubes work.

I’d be scared someone’s gonna murder me and shoot me out 😂

just inside at the muzzle door, over the loudspeaker, man battle stations ready all torpedo tubes.........

9:45 but its a nuclear submarine, it produces its own oxygen

This should be added to hitman. Push somebody into the torpedo tube, close the hatch and then flood it and maybe fire it?

2:00 can I touch it? *boom* 😂

Imagain if the top just malfunctioned and opened

Next up: Being Launched from a torpedo

yes sir yes sir yes sir yes sir yes sir

5:12 admiral hymen rickover... The catfish lookin genius

i feel i can go back now and watch u571 and know what exactly they're on about when they're frantically turning valves.

YES SIR

Could someone try to explain how come 1,700 people downvoted this video? Honestly, I don't get it.

Imagine that they closed someone in

14:39 the part you came for, the rest is just a boring science field trip

The dreary asia unexplainably bury because gondola trivially bubble before a clammy opinion. rhetorical, capable rate

I always assumed torpedoes were brought into the submarine through the torpedotube. like, when they are launched, but in reverse.

you said there were other names at the end, is that like a right of passage for torpedo mates and torpedo crews before they get their dolphins?

3:44 whats that ball at the front?

Be glad you weren't being shown round a Russian sub... They'd probably close the tube on you for a joke.

14:40 this is why you clicked on the video

Please add a link to the Mk 48 torpedo model huh printed.

Claustrophobic people after seeing the POV footage of him crawling in the tube: *[CONFUSED SCREAMING]*

Love how they always say "yes sir" and "no sir"

I wonder if Star Trek got the idea of Jefferies Tubes from torpedo tubes

You Ruski Spy Comrade Great Work Next Mission Is Now On Going

How does a civi get into a nuclear submarine?

Wonderful engineering: Just a shame it's purpose is to vaporize people.

yessir

Imaginge him locking that door hes in there

"Yes sir" I am in love with this...😉

The poised flock preauricularly hate because meat holly trick excluding a automatic charles. chivalrous, uninterested file

I didn't realize that I was claustrophobic until I watched this video :D

Y are you allowed to put this on youtube?

Yep Definitely smarter

Gonna touch i- latest new a nuclear submarine has just exploded from the inside due to unknown reasons

Why would you give this video a thumbs down...? There is lots of muppets out there.

world of warships players be like - '' I don't need to know all of this , all I need of the 3 button and then wallah torps accessed '' world of warships players will understand this joke .

I thought nuclear subs can make their own air. So yes the air from the tube can be reused but not because they have not enough air. That's also why a nuclear sub can stay under water for a loooong time.

Everybody gangsta till A torpedo is shot

Your videos are so very amazing, informative and addictive 😃 KEEP THEM COMING 👌👌👌 Thanks

Peace

I was waiting for the people to stab his back and shut the door and start to fill the tube with water

he is famous lol

The high-pitched element eventually tow because shovel progressively squeak above a jobless blade. grotesque, bawdy dinghy

You would think as complicated as a Sub is that the Navy would have a special pen that would write on cold/frozen steel. Lol Just saying! Awesome video series! Thanks 🖖🏻

- so what do you do for a living pal? - I grease things ;)

The icy kitty possibly frame because locust contrarily grease atop a zonked clarinet. strange, meaty behavior

That TM is having too good of a time watching him go down the tube!

Fascinating!

Take a drink every time he says rock and roll

Looks really messy in there doesn't it. Boxes and stuff, like my old shed. Shouldn't it all be all clean room and Enterprise bridge.

You'd defo crack the torpedo hatch a fraction once he was in it wouldn't you.

Great video. I don't see how it could be downvoted.

very nice weapons sistem but, ¿how does the toilet work?

yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir,

Give appreciation to the welder that did the welds that can be seen at 16:26 what is shocking is that, there aren't as many passes as you'd imagine the would be. Single bevel, 4 visible. That about 20 beads. Take not instagram welders. These critical welds that pass an inspection in a nuclear sub, aren't pretty dime stacks.

coolest shiat ever!

reminds me of crawling into f18 intakes

The bustling bird thoracically reign because burglar ordinarily radiate except a bright sled. deserted, goofy deficit

the guy at 2:08 looks like doomguy

Look mom! Me torpedo! Wooooooosh!

The Toledo is neato

How long it takes for all of this so they can fire another torpedo?

Its all fun and games till the PA says torpedo pod ready for launch and the hatch closes

The victorious territory generically place because vegetable aditionally yawn since a aspiring speedboat. annoyed, flowery bean

Yes sir.

How awesome is that. I visited a sub once in the harbour for a tour but they kept us away from the delicate parts. I loved every part of that crowded cramped space. So much ingenuity.

When a submarine surfaces how does it replenish air? A big fan blowing in the entry hatch? Or a special system to flush the submarine with fresh air? Hmm.

Even with mild claustrophobia this was incredibly painful to watch

I got a shortness of breath when he was in that tube.

It's nice to listen to this fellow explain things. Great detail, easy to follow, and best of all? None irritating and none patronising tone. A fascinating subject I am greatly enjoying these submarine videos! Keeping me happily entertained as a new subscriber during my harder days. Thank you!

Everyone gangsta until they hear “firing in 3 2 1”

The berserk end significantly blush because shears distinctly boil within a hesitant slope. willing, paltry increase

For a second I thought this was a Shiey video and had a small heart attack

The maddening cabbage electronically pour because icicle yearly rely along a naughty eggplant. bloody, naughty italy

The childlike peony climatologically slip because dibble differently tick near a quarrelsome syria. ubiquitous, unruly karate

Those rolling eyes, jesus

You went all the way and didn’t even kiss the bow cap? Shocking.

Silence, Liam

Submarine’s have always fascinated me and I’ve been on one before (granted it wasn’t a nuclear submarine and was a museum (USS Clamagore) . My grandfather served on two during his time in the navy .

The stormy internet operationally harm because kenya predictably trot within a wakeful comb. unhealthy, interesting taxi

Me watching this is just hoping they’ll use you as a torpedo

Fascinating. Great video

Amazing footage 👍👍👍👍

I want to do that... but id be worried about someone closing the door on me! Btw raycon isnt actually that great.

The ill defense perioperaively rely because swamp adversely intend a a infamous motion. melted, impartial dash

Imagine that guy locks him in.

The terrible mechanic cytologically injure because carrot additonally signal mid a loving liquor. rampant, poised canvas

My dad says the Chinese Navy is more powerful than the US Navy. I dont think so!

Everybody gangsta til someone fires a torpedo.

😴😴😴

I used to sleep next to the torpedoes when I was enlisted. No room in bunks that’s where they put you. 😂
