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).

Thank you for supporting Smarter Every Day on Patreon.  I hope you have recieved your baseball.  If you have not, please check https://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

And how was the pizza? Have you even tried it?

Jordan Tomkinson

Got my baseball a couple weeks ago ♡ love it

Nial Pearce

Awesome! Loving these deep dive videos. Am super excited and can't wait to get a baseball! Also thank you Destin for helping me find the most awesome office wall 'thing' in the world! Just got an original Cube Root TIX from halfway around the world and it is brilliant, never would of found them if I hadn't seen your's and it has been a long mission to track one down! Its so simple but so great to see it bugging the heck out of visitors who can't get their heads around it. Hope you are staying safe. Regards from the UK.

Karl Dickinson

This one hits me in the feels since my father was the chief mess specialist on 2 nuclear submarines. Thanks Destin! Also I got my baseball and little note book. Thanks again.

Andrew Scheerer

My wife has ‘Down Periscope’ memorized. Love that movie.

Pierre Martel

Can't get the book from Quebec.. Damn!

Ryan Moody

Well, we *try* to limit larger angles during meal hours. Most of the time...

Larry J Seltzer

It's an insanely stupid movie, but a lot of fun. Watch all the way to the closing credits with the Village People doing "In the Navy" with the crew

RiskySchooner

I didn’t need to download Thunder Below, I already had it. AND the book!

Steve Jones

Another awesome video! Thanks! And, I'll have to look for Down Periscope..

Steve Jones

THANK YOU for posting that name.. I've never been able to figure out what that thing was behind Destin all these years.. I posted the question in comments once, but I know he gets too many to answer everyone! Now I just gotta find where I can get one!!

Mrpirate707

Bro you are one of the few YouTube Content providers I'm genuinely excited to see when you upload. Keep it up!

David Lamoureux

So... What do they do with the food waste? Do they dump it, or do they have to save it till they surface?

Yiding Jia

What is the drawer labeled “bug juice”?

Timothy Pitcock

Flying out onto the ice, watching a sub bust thru it, then you go walk up to it and board it....had to be 1 of the coolest if not the coolest activities/adventure this channel has blessed you w doing! A nuclear submarine busted thru the ice just to pick up Destin...lololol...thats just so awesome.

Nial Pearce

Good luck with that! They are brilliant! Its so simple but drives people nuts if they dont know what it is. There is a guy that sells a modern version from his home workshop I think but doesn't make many and he is shut down till Covid is gone and his backlog is clear with supply chain fixed. They pop up used on FleaBay now and then but you do get people asking (and paying) mega money for them. It was a long journey to track an original one down for a reasonable price! I hope you manage to find one yourself. It took me a while but it was so worth it!

Ashley Blake-Hood

This is honestly one of the most interesting series of videos you've made, I've never really taken the time to consider the challenges of life on a sub.

KC

The WWII diesel boat kitchen was insanely small. Hard to believe they cooked as many meals a day that they did.

Armin Walland

Destin, do you have a military rank or do they just call you "sir" because they are polite? :)

Jeff Murri

I work with soldiers and they always call me sir. I call them sir or by their rank. It's all about being polite.

Mark Young

Hilarious. I saw mark on the list of names and thought...crap...I've gotta download that audiobook. :D

Cerity

❤️❤️😍

Mike Waldrop

These videos make me really appreciate the young people that are motivated to live this life. It's a really challenging environment even when doing something as "mundane" as serving pizza. I can't even imagine adding all that environmental stress on top of being shot at and working to defend your country. Amazing people, and I'm grateful for them.

Kevin Griffin

I love this series so much. My dad did 20 years in the Navy on Subs, and this series has been a fun way for me and my sons to engage with their grandfather about when he used to work on nuclear subs.

Andy

Will the captions be added on soon? Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Andrew

Do you have a list of all Audible recommendations anywhere? Really appreciate you suggested listenings. :p

Wesley Schrader

Dude, this series is great. I served on the USS San Francisco and actually taught a handful of the "nukes" on the Toledo. It was kinda awesome seeing them again and reliving a good portion of my life again. Thanks!!!

smartereveryday

I know right? For some reason I absolutely love this one.

smartereveryday

It was really good actually. I like a lot of pizza sauce, and my piece was just how I like it!

Andy

Thank you so much. Just watched it. Fantastic one. Question: was the pizza good? :)

Nial Pearce

Hey. I was buying up a bunch of servers and network gear from a company in Canada that unfortunately went under because of this evil virus. I spotted it in a photo of equipment and emailed the guy who told me that they were given 3 of them years ago and that he wanted to keep the one that was on the wall but had another still boxed and sealed which curiously had Google's logo across the front and he agreed to sell it for a fairly lofty but fair price I was happy with and it was cheaper then the few I have seen appear and sell on eBay for silly money. Up till finding it I was considering building my own as its a fairly simple bit of coding to put on to a Teensy or Arduino and a very basic circuit, add in 3D printer and laser cutters and it would of been a nice little project. We are just going into a national lockdown for 4 weeks here in the UK so it may well be something to take on as a project during this spare time... We will see. If I do then I will post the results somewhere. Thanks again!

Matthew Pitts

I was watching some episodes from PBS Nova about being in Antarctica. Apparently fresh pizza is a pretty important thing there as well!

Janet Traweek

Wow, those packed freezer & store rooms made me feel a bit claustrophobic just looking at them! So then I was thinking about how the sub is a closed environment similar to the space station, so cooking smells must be really noticeable--I wonder if that is good or bad. I guess that would be a major reason to NEVER burn any food, haha! Thanks for the video, Destin!

JBBrickFanatic

Just got around to watching this video, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I agree with you, it’s my favorite of the series. The personal aspect of seeing how the crew interaction with one another, realizing how good food brings us together, it was awesome! My father served on a submarine during the Cold War (and is still active duty!) and he has always loved cribbage. Funny how that’s still a big thing for the Navy!

Brian Henley

I've been a submariner for almost 16 years now. The smell of a submarine is something I don't think I'll ever forget. There's a lot of air handling equipment onboard to keep the air clean and "safe" to breath. But, as soon as you walk up to the hatch topside you know what's for chow. That and amine are the prevailing smells of a submarine.

Brian Henley

Some of it gets ground up in an industrial garbage disposal that drains down to a sanitary tank and just gets pumped overboard with the rest of the waste water. Other large or non-grindable foods get put into "wet bags". They get put into the trash disposal unit (TDU), which is kinda like a miniature vertical torpedo tube, and they get shot off the ship.

Ron Cunniff

I wonder if the smell of the pizza wafts through the ship. That would be torturous. :-)
