I don't know why... but this was one of my favorite videos from the Deep Dive Series. It's so... personal and real. I had no idea that food is literally THE limiting factor on a submarine's ability to dive. Also, I had no idea meals were such a big deal for morale (Ice Cream on Waffles totally works by the way). I have an email list here if you'd like to get an email when I upload a video: www.smartereveryday.com/email-list Thank you to those who have recently chosen to support Smarter Every Day on Patreon ( www.patreon.com/smartereveryday ) . You're awesome, and I hope you have received your baseball! I've been seeing a lot of posts on twitter of people showing me photos of their baseball and it's awesome!! If you have not received your yet, please check www.smartereveryday.com/baseball for status updates! I'm grateful for your support and hope you really enjoy this one. The next video is both amazing certifiably insane, so please look forward to that! Regards, Destin

That moment when you want to grow up to work in a Submarine and not a Spaceship because of the fooooood 😍

That guy is too tall for submarine.

RIP VEGAN CREW MEMBERS😆🤣

i will use the "permission to enter with pizza" line every now and then lol

In the mid '80s I was on a boat some place in the Pacific. And there was Pizza Night. (Note: "Night" is a relative term herein used) What is special about Pizza Night is that pizza, in general, is easy to make as long as someone made the dough and the base sauce in advance. What is really important about Pizza Night is that some crew members will volunteer their time to relieve the galley crew for a few hours of pure down time. Even though I often heard the term NAVY = Never Again Volunteer Yourself, I did as a 1st class nuke PO. I came armed with pervious knowledge as a pie tosser in a pizza shop pre-Navy and 4 tins of anchovies (one should always plan in advance for long deployments). Although the overhead was barely inches above my head I was able to hand toss dough to the delight of some fellow crewmembers. But the real surprise for them was when I made some pies with only marinara sauce and anchovies and a very little bit of cheese (on one side only). The odor of cooking anchovy pizza ala Napolitana spread as even biological gas will on a sub and suddenly there were many people hanging around the crew's mess. There were even officers who had their own mess and were not generally encouraged to mix with us enlisted types during chow times. But it was Pizza Night and they got their slices too. Pizza Night was a huge 'Thank You' to the galley crew and a bit of having fun with the crew, even O-gangers. And maybe a bit of showing off for those who can. Now I will shut up and watch your video.

10:00 *Caution Radiation Area* I guess they don't need a Microwave to nuke food.

Nooo, stoooop you're making me huuungry

9:10 these guys are really eating pizza, watching the discovery channel, and playing Madden on two flatscreens

Arguably the most important people on the whole boat.

I've worked in a kitchen that was a total of 147sq feet and you gotta be really efficient.

So . . . why can't they grow food on a nuclear sub? Is it just not space efficient enough to create a ship that never needs to surface, or could it actually be done with compact hydroponics and small plants like strawberries?

Mad respect to the chefs! Pizza night looked so dam good!!!

God Bless them, everyone!

I'm even more hungry now

Must suck to be a vegan on that particular boat.

What if you're vegetarian and lactose intolerant? Do they just shoot you out the torpedo hole?

There's some research on using insects as food. Grass hoppers and meal worms. So there you go.

🤣🤣🤣i remember cooking drunk on board all the time after a weekend of parting

Is there really no food on board that is actual food and not flour, sugar, and grease? This is nuts to me. Everything is processed and fake, might as well be a dive bar.

How about the vegan crew members? How do they survive in that submarine?

The parallel thunderstorm behaviorally consist because seashore cytopathologically gather outside a near monkey. ceaseless, bashful streetcar

The lush porcupine delightfully instruct because cancer numerically work towards a neat dredger. loud, fuzzy letter

4:19 the wet dream of a british, more than 5 crates full of tea

And i thought i eat unhealthy food. Wow

Everything surrounding the kitchen was covered... except how the pizzas were made.

This is amazing. Really. They've got basically their own community down there. Every single thing has been thought of. Planning how much of each resource they need, what happens when they get resources from a different location than what they're used to, and how much resources they use over time. I know I might just be lying to myself, but THIS video makes living on a submarine look fun. My fave part was when they demonstrated, how, even in this boat, with narrow passages, that people have to try to avoid colliding with and getting in other people's way, you get to have absolute right-of-way, just by being the one carrying a hot pizza.

Thunder below is brilliant!

0:10 - Is that a V/O fixup where they redacted the exact amount of years?

The guy explaining why the movie is funny is the most wholesome thing on UZpost, dude's just having a great time...thanks D

09:09 you can see them watch tv. so the question is do they pre record/download television program to watch it later or are they able to recieve this while underwater?

my main takeaway from this is that as long as you're not claustrophobic a submarine is pretty nice

Jim's making pizza dough! Live yeast! Better burn another candle...

that is a chef who is very proud of his job.

when that roll happens it will happen fast because it is the result of something really bad gone wrong on board. SS-580 1978

How do they watch tv and get internet does it ever not not work or does it work all the time?

Any vegan free range, vegetarian, gluten-free options??!!!🙄

Loving this video series 🙂 sad that most military documentaries just want to show stuff being blown up. Logistics is just as cool to learn about.

A real eye opener for people interested in space travel. I'd imagine the operation of a nuclear submarine is very similar to a space capsule, or the International Space Station. I never knew how tightly packed every critical system is. Thanks Destin. Fyi, I'm starting to second guess my dream of migrating to the Moon and Mars in 30 years time. But then again, I guess a person can adapt to just about any situation in the name of survival.

I'd be a good sub cook . Already the food I cook ends up covered in seamen.

Hey but wat about toilets ?

In an Iraqi meal test from a US camp west of Baghdad,I got to see on youtube, was 2 kinds of mystery meat (slimy or dry) and just horrible food. This was 2003 but still, US Gov't, get out frontline troops filet mignon! For real.

i really wanna join the navy, but i think i would be way too tall to be in the navy.

oh, why did I think you were going to cook a pizza on a submarine and not in a submarine?

Sunday is pizza night at my house. Today is Sunday. Usually have it at dinner, but it’s 2 past noon right now. I’m preheating my oven now. I want my pizza now.

You could tell "Chop" was trying to watch his mouth when telling you how much food a submarine can store lol (i.e one of the biggest factors determining how long a sub can stay underwater). He took a few seconds before determining 9-0 days wasn't a classified piece of information lol.

Do some general or high rank officer announce that youre gonna make these videos? the crews are polite and helpful, good manner 👍

"Corn syrup" guarantees none of those boys don't know what real maple syrup is

From a former line cook that was very enjoyable! Looks like working a cramped diner

wow lot of education. lot of responsibility ability on the sub to.

Down Periscope is such a good movie, and it's absolutely hilarious

In a submarine or on a submarine?

This is my favorite series of yours ever! Love seeing these men and women and what they do!

Burger day is the BEEEEEST

4:03 *dead heads n frogs legs mmm cake mix*

GOOD FOOD BRINGS EVERYONE TOGETHER

radiation hazard in the food storage, no bunking or loitering... OK.... no sleeping in the fridge.

I would love to know how they secure all the stuff in the galley when the ship is maneuvering. Diving, surfacing, hard turns. I assume they aren't using the deep fat fried then! Oh, I shouldn't have made this comment before 10:08. Great video and amazing series! Thank you!

Connecticut, YAY, I have seen that base, it is many subs, scarry for CHina

When I was in the military, we would know when a VIP was visiting the unit as the food would get better for that day. I'm impressed they can make better food inside a submarine than what we got on land!

11:40 This is an excellent example of the pithy Maxim 7 of The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries: "If the food is good enough, the grunts will stop complaining about the incoming fire."

Ok...why can't they grow food though?

they're on a sub in the ocean they cant not have battered cod and chips lol

SUBMARINE AND SUBMARINE ALL ABOUT SABMARINE CHANNEL FFS get a new idia

Should use refill submarines Kinda like planes refuel other planes

Submarine series is amazing!

These guys eat pretty fuckn good

Dude must have a stressful job reading from the stress patches on his head. Or maybe he needs to find someone that knows how to use clippers.

Why do they have locks on fridges?

I was giggling every time they said "poppers"

1:22: Laughing 1:23:Saw Chief behind camera,laughing gone

1:23 mikes hair looking like destiny game logo 👌

Best submarine videos I’ve seen

After 12 months of Covid lockdown I need to be forced to be in a sub like this to lose weight!

Watching that dude at 15:50 silently laugh about the nuance submarine joke just cracks me up😂

It gives true appreciation for all the components and people that make the system function.

I love the understanding and wholesome personality the crew has.

There is a nuclear reactor. Makin pizza is an afterthought.

All that is great and all, but where do they keep the Coffee? And the Lard?

Shoutout to Groton

"what happens if you burn a pizza?" *look of genuine fear*

Pov gordon ramsey enter the freezer

what does submarine do everyday?

Pizza night was always a highlight of patrol. Since when is the cycle 8 hours and 3 meals? I remember 4 meals separated by 6 hours and standing a 3 section watch, 6 hours on and 12 hours off - the only way one knew time of day was by the meal being served. To this day more than 20 years later I still can't sleep much more than 6 hours

So how do they access the food in the freezer, or get it in there? Crawl through that small port?

The logistics are fascinating.

Just Subscribed, congratulations on 9.49M 🇨🇦

For under 3$ a day, they manage to create high quality pizza with toppings. And yeah, I like to cook at home, if you do things from scratch with flour it's dirt cheap and so delicious. But labor intensive. But if you can spare the time, it's worth it.

On amphibious ships steak and eggs in the morning before beach landings! Never know how long before you get another hot meal

I have a feeling that I will go make a pizza in 5 minutes into this and finish the rest of this episode eating it...

It was always nice after a big operation to get on a naval ship and experience their chow hall… I don’t know if the Marine Corps has as much money or not as good as cooks but eating a board a ship was the highlight of the day. Especially after being out in the field for a long time! Ooh Rah

The hysterical passive fortunately rush because nylon ultrascructurally bomb during a watery postbox. hushed, wistful humidity

I think I'm gonna sign up for the us navy

Bug Juice... Please explain.

"Can you show me?" LOVE IT

Not a vegetable in sight.

10.60 cents a day per person for 3 meals. Ya for sure u have to really crunch numbers

Carolina Gold BBQ sauce is awesome! Funny to hear a nuclear submarine crew stocking up on it before shipping out but it makes complete sense haha!

just needs some replicators so you could make food too...

The bread on the sub is the BEST, sometimes if I accidentally sleep through a meal I'll be blessed enough to wake up and find some leftover bread to eat.
