US Submarine Commander Rates 14 Submarine Scenes In Movies | How Real Is It? | Insider

I disagree to the K19 comment that this expert stated. Nuclear Reactors can explode, but it is usually a steam explosion. The steam explosion would probably be severe enough to damage the nuclear warheads which in turn would be like a dirty bomb going off. Look at the Chernobyl Steam explosion and the damage that has caused, and that was not a nuclear explosion. As far has going submerged, the reason for that would be if it did have a steam explosion, the fallout would be contained deep underwater vs being on the surface. Now I know that Hollywood likes to exaggerate to make the movie more dramatic, but this movie was based on true and actual events.

Aw dang, I was really hoping for him to review Down Periscope. Loved that movie lol😂😂😜😁🧡

Chernobyl reactor exploded. Reactors can explode.

I love Das Boot, the ending is really sad but its the reality of war.

I don't understand as for your actions as c IWS system.Since those project house flyer about 9 times the speed of sound wher as the missile flys 3xsound and the ciws can protect a vessel in clse formation.

Eng!

Anoxic doesn’t mean there’s a complete lack of oxygen within the Black Sea, it means there is a lack of dissolved oxygen. Water has a specific amount of chemically bound oxygen, which is 100% useless to oceanic life… This is why algae blooms are devastating to marine populations. In addition to the phycotoxins produced through the algae’s metabolic processes, it also consumes the oxygen needed for fish to survive. Yes, like all photosynthetic plant-life, algae does produce oxygen as it metabolizes sunlight. It does, however; consume much of what it produces. At night, it’s unable to produce what it needs, so it depletes the dissolved oxygen on whatever body of water it’s situated on.

Served on submarines 1970-93. This commander is pretty much spot on...on SSBN 600 we hit an undersea mountain not listed on charts, flooded TR, ended up replacing bow. Also had jam dive in 1971, from 150 ft to 620 ft in 50 seconds. Later found we in ibermuda triangle...thank god control team did Emergency Back to the helm and we Emergency blew to surface...Sept 1971.

I love his understanding of the horror we don't see.

“Miata with a Corvette engine”… I bet you he owns one because it’s actually a thing.

I know it's in terms of a narrow context, but U-571 getting an 8/10 'accuracy' score feels so wrong..

Skipper is from Danish :) Skib= Ship not Dutch or German.

YOu forgot Down Periscope

No review of Daas Boaat. F*****g joke.

11:31 Dyatlov agrees

So a schoolbus launched of of a truck???

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed your perspective and expertise , nicely done.

Long ago, I was attending a school with a bunch of Nuke guys. They were absolutely brilliant and just as funny. I think some levity and a sense of humor are required for that job.

U-571 was WWII movie, the scene with Harvey he should have gave a little bit about the movie and them taking over a German U-Boat. And that McConaughey was actually the executive officer. who became the Skipper after the CO was killed. If you did not see the movie.

And the 🌊 is very cold

That's what made the sub scene from the SIMPSONS funny....because they. Actually CHEATED DEATH.

I think I understand. Liquefied LEAD, allowed the sub to generate MORE HEAT. ERGO MORE THRUST.

Liquefied LEAD TO COOL THE REACTOR... FASCINATING. I RESPECT ANY SKIPPER OF A SUBMARINE. CREW AS WELL.

Nope U571 the uniforms are different because they just infiltrated a German U-boat disguised as a German repair crew, not because of the liberties taken because they're sumariners, watch the movie Commander before making opinions, in other words do like Nicholas Moran does when giving opinions about Tank Scenes

I'd like to hear this guy's thoughts on the Titan submarine.

I'd love to see him comment on Down Periscope.

Down Periscope?

This captain gave me my dolphins. Thanks Marquet. nice to see him.

Crimson Tide - Its clear that the Captain's actions were wrong and against the rules. The movie wasn't suggesting this is how things normally would happen on a SSBN but how this captain acted. The captain wanted to get rid of the XO and replace him someone who would do what the captain wanted so made used the BS reason of mutiny. While L. David Marquet is a former submarine commander he isn't a film maker or screenwriter. K-19 Widowmaker - he's right thats not how SLBMs work but we're talking about the USSR in the early 1960s. How much does he know about 1960s subs and their reactor and the nukes they have on board. Soviet military equipment wasn't known for its safety features. While this happening on an Ohio class sub is impossible I wouldn't rule it out on 1960s USSR sub. The Kursk sank because of leaking fuel from a torpedo and that was in 2000. 39 years later.

British Sub captains only need to convince the guard armed with a bat blocking access to the safe containing the PM's permission letter and launch codes that it's time to burn the world.

In killer hunter he sayed before "tomahawks ready"

Water compresses the air inside the sub and even if you survive, you can probably not breath (breath in but cannot breathe out kind of situation) even if you find a pocket of air (if you survive in the same compartment as the leak occur) my assumption is right or wrong. P.S Talking about depth we can survive the pressure of the water of course have a nice day!

Was really hoping for some Down Periscope, but still a great video.

This was a good interview. This guy is entertaining and knowledgeable. Glad to know Das Boot rated high. I've always loved that movie.

You sounded like Dyatlov = Reactors don't explode. Chernobyl be like = Allow me to introduce myself.

'You can't relieve a captain of command over a disagreement' Well, Hackman was trying to subvert nuclear missile launch procedures, falsely claimed mutiny and was fat.

amazing judge !

You forgot Down Periscope.

This guy looks like a school teacher and a dad that is also a sub commander....i'd go to war with him😂😂😂

K-19: The Widowmaker was filmed in Canada, specifically Toronto, Ontario; Gimli, Manitoba; and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Met the guys who built the sets for the movie. They were so proud of their work.

The world peace is so strained right now , people should listen to him about smart hypersonic threats . Let’s keep our sailors safe against threats that can’t be stopped .

People should make the game barotrauma into a movie or series that would be awesome, i would watch it.

My 1st Captain...USS Santa Fe SSN 763 2001

Regarding U-571, and the uniforms. Their uniforms where a mix, as some of them had been posing as Germans, and had in fact, taken a German U-Boat. So some where dressed as Germans, and the rest wearing US naval uniforms. It was an irregular circumstance.

I 100% thought he was saying sarcastically “Yeah we can hear what different torpedoes sound like and we study them”

For K-19, my understanding of the explosion came from a pressure issue, rather than a nuclear issue, and the diving was to put as much shielding between them and another vessel as possible via water. Also, no Down Periscope, the most accurate submarine movie ever made?

I would LOVE to get this guy's thoughts on "Down Periscope"... 😁

I have to say he was a little harsh on K-19. It took place in 1961 and the sub was the Soviet Union's first ballistic missile boat. The reactor officer was directly out of the academy. Computer power at the time... that whole sub would carry less calculation than the very first iPhone. More than half of the design was likely done on a slide rule and subject to human error. Keep in mind that almost forty years later, with massive computer power, NASA crashed the half-billion dollar Mars climate orbiter when someone forgot to convert pound-force seconds into newton-seconds. The crew was probably picked for being great at being on a submarine, but had no experience on an actual boomer. Russian officers tended to be chosen because of their connections, not necessarily their talent. All sea-going people still deal with superstition, and the pre-launch incidents were weighing on the crew. It is entirely possible most of the men on the ship did not have a very clear understanding of how the reactor and missiles would respond under failure conditions.

Was lucky enough to go on a nuclear sub (dry docked, obviously certain areas restricted) in my young age (military in the family got invited, one guest so a relative took me) and what I will say is movies that show them looking all high tech inside and having all this room and looking like a regular boat... NOT the case at all.. they are very tight/cramped, difficult to navigate, and at times claustrophobic. Of course there was certain areas we were not allowed and certain questions were restricted to answer, but I always laugh at some movies where they show a nuclear sub (or subs in general) just having all this space and cool neon lights, etc. lol.

Cooolest sub commander ever!!!
