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 www.patreon.com/SmarterEveryDay . I am thankful for the support, and the next video has a special surprise for you, the Patrons.

I was the Plankowner TM Division CPO when Toledo was Comissioned. Loaded many a MK-48 and Tomahawk on her from 1994-1998. TMC(SS) Ed Feidt and I had a Blast!

“Help stepbro I’m stuck in a torpedo tube”

Thrift SimpleKun oldin

If you're super lucky, when you're a NUB you get to sleep on a torpedo rack. And by sleep I mean, lay in a rack until your next checkout.

Nick OhlerKun oldin

Unbelievable they were able to design/engineer these without computers.

RippedFall9153Kun oldin

2:14, guy on the left face looks up "Woah woah woah wait those are real torpedoes??"

WuzKun oldin

he could literally just close it and flood the tube

Kim NicholsonKun oldin

Amagen just it flushed you out lol rip

15:08 POV: you are a torpedo

Marty LynchianKun oldin

They ok showing you weapons but not the engine. Go figure.

Clemens Der BaumKun oldin

Yes SIr

Scarlet2 kun oldin

I used to play Silent Hunter 5: Battle Of The Atlantic, and hearing your XO yell, "Torpedo Impact!" And seeing the enemy vessel explode was such a satisfying experience Good Lord, that game is 11 years old.

Rylund Steele2 kun oldin

I am so happy you got to do this, and then decided to share an of this with us. Thanks for making us smarter!

VirlomiEntreri2 kun oldin

*touches torpedo* Can I touch it?

Metifix2 kun oldin

"yessir"

Dog Serious2 kun oldin

Air in a sub is made by the powerplant, it's not what they've took with them from the surface!

tito hotrod2 kun oldin

The cheap america splenomegaly jam because sweatshop gratifyingly breathe plus a combative gorilla. supreme, lewd sunday

Kerry2 kun oldin

I’m not a claustrophobic person, but torpedo tube inside a torpedo-carrying water coffin, under water, under ice...may just make me discover something new about myself. Tie a rope to my feet for quick pullback, please.

Khadar Adam2 kun oldin

image if he locked you in there IMAO

MilkyWayey2 kun oldin

a submarine is basically a large torpedo that shoots smaller faster torpedoes

SuperVHSchannel2 kun oldin

Strange how the naval men all call him 'sir' when he's a civilian.

Stephen Holland2 kun oldin

OMG!

Frank Maringola2 kun oldin

Who remembers doing trim parties on a new COW??

John Smith2 kun oldin

I'm pretty sure nuclear submarines make their own air and as much as they want or need, fresh water too for that matter.

T Wright3 kun oldin

Is that Adm Rickover at 5:12 with Pres Carter?

Wedgenut Tanker3 kun oldin

Crew part of the sub is called the People locker

Locomotive Breath3 kun oldin

I worked at the Electric Boat nuclear sub facility in Quonset Point, Rhode Island and worked on the sister 688 Fast Attack Subssubs when the Toledo was being built in Newport News. I remember installing the electrical and electronic components in the topedo room. I never got to see the finished sub because we did about 90% of the work and all the finish work was done at Electric Boat Groton, CT. Thanks for a really cool trip down memory lane! Now I have to watch the rest of your videos!

Syqifr3 kun oldin

sorry to say it but i have never been this bored watching youtube

Jade Mills3 kun oldin

Lemme just say this about engineering . its all figured out ! Toledo is the most expect thing on this planet .

Daniel Radick3 kun oldin

This series is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm retired Air Force, so this was different from my world and a very cool thing to learn about. Excellent series!! You earned another subscriber with this series.

Brian B3 kun oldin

You really had me with the air part. Oxygen can be created. But actual air can’t. Made me think.

László Bertók3 kun oldin

I got claustrophobic watching this video.

pigtailsboy3 kun oldin

Worked how I expected it to actually.

angulion4 kun oldin

Not quite the same now with slippery durable materials than U-96 WW2 grey-wolf where everything about torpedo was absolutely covered in vaseline. Interesting video.

Adeum Deus4 kun oldin

Ah, so 0:25 is the reason Destin got the privilege of riding on a nuclear sub. Guess I never actually knew what he did for a living outside of UZnick. I thought it was pretty strange he was invited on a nuclear weapon of war lol, but it makes sense now

Jeff Klein4 kun oldin

I got the chance to crawl down a torpedo tube on my first boat (USS John C. Calhoun, SSBN-630B) when we were at Test Depth. It's a common tradition on Navy Subs and is quite a surreal feeling as you're crawling down the tube with nothing but a steel door between you and crushing sea pressure. Definitely not for those who have even the slightest smidge of clausterphobia.

Misha6004 kun oldin

TM: "He's in." CO: "Quick, he's learned too much! Shoot tube 2!"

Pete Miller4 kun oldin

My 'initiation' on my first boat was to dive a torpedo tube (as a Sonar Tech, I was leery of this but knew it was a right of passage). No headlamp, no flashlight...just dive the tube with a greenie and clean. Get to the outer door and boom, the breach door closed. Pitch black. Rolled over on my back and snoozed til the TM's let me out! Guess I didn't freak out like they were expecting!

Big Floppa4 kun oldin

my claustrophobia just skyrocketed

The Lazer Project4 kun oldin

13:37, but now you have more water than you had, how do you get rid of it???

NPC4 kun oldin

Nightmare fuel: you've crawled inside the torpedo tube to check it out. Suddenly you hear the breach door close and lock. Your breath is rapidly siphoned from your lungs as the air pressure inside the tube plummets, and ice-cold seawater comes flooding in.

Marty Stines4 kun oldin

The first thing I noticed, when you opened the tube, was the Teflon strips. Low tech solution to a high tech problem. 😂 But it makes total sense.

Keith P4 kun oldin

I was able to turn around in the tube. That was 50 lbs ago

Keith P4 kun oldin

400 psi > any other psi.

That Guy5 kun oldin

I dont know how they retrained themselves not to mess with him and pretend to close the hatch while Destin was in there

bert5 kun oldin

love how much theyre all enjoying his excitement.

Bigbrain Moment6 kun oldin

This is really cool but I would also love to see the WW1 and WW2 physics

Can someone go over the transcript and see how may times 'Yes Sir' was said?

Ernie Self13 kun oldin

next on smarter every day: I got to go inside the worlds most powerful bomb

R R13 kun oldin

sorry if im wrong but I think submarines can produce their own air.

Anthony Jackson13 kun oldin

I was a nuclear submariner in the Royal Navy, the hydraulic locking ring on the tube also has a backup called "the thetis clamp" a safety device fitted after the loss of hms/m thetis 👍

cjmmjc14 kun oldin

i used to build these things....im just in awe, as i was then

Noah Agin14 kun oldin

so a torpedo is just a water railgun?

Martin Osterloh14 kun oldin

awesome podcast and host!

Andy15 kun oldin

I find it funny how Mexico which operates and has sent many times the ARM Usumancita to the RIMPAC exercise which is a Newport-class landing ship like the USS Racine, has basically, indirectly helped in the exercise to practice how to sink one of its flagships in their navy.

INCOGNITO OBSCURE TRICHOME15 kun oldin

I was not claustrophobic till I watched this video‼️

SuperHeavyXD15 kun oldin

My mind is just imagining the hatch being closed and the tube being filled while being inside there! That would be such a horrible way to go!

J G16 kun oldin

Man you’ve lived a crazy cool life.

deprivedoftrance16 kun oldin

I always assumed they loaded them in the same way they went out, through the torpedo tubes.

Tom Cooper16 kun oldin

Exactly how you feel in a MRT ... cold, noisy and tight.

Trevor Link16 kun oldin

Have a video about the polar vortex.
