I would figure the sub world it was ok to be fat in.. I mean, where the gently caress are you gonna work out? What the gently caress kinda working out you gonna do? I mean some dudes are naturally skinny, some naturally normal, some naturally kinda fat.. put 'em all under water for a few months I'm guessing a lot of folks got a little fat? Or 'am I crazy? Aren't the submarine folks the reason the Navy has so many different types of tests for Cardio, with the swimming, eliptical, bike, or run options or something?

I'm sure it's the same for most boats but we had an elliptical, a bike, a rowing machine, and a set of those adjustable dumbbells. Some people worked out and stayed relatively in shape, and some people got really fat. All those workout machines got cut into little pieces and tossed overboard because of ORSE and we bought all new ones when we pulled back in from deployment.

I mean I realize it's a huge ocean, and that the sea will take care of that poo poo or whatever, I'm just shocked there isn't some gay EPA/DoD reg about dumping in the ocean or something.

That P90X stuff was really popular on my boat too, since people could do it with little to no equipment. We had a guy that memorized 6-7 routines in the entirety, and then would do one a day during deployment.

bradass87 posted:What is ORSE? Operational Reactor Safeguards Exam; a big engineering inspection to make sure Engineering Department is somewhat on the level. We supercompact our trash into a tiny little canister, and then weigh it down and drop it out the bottom. We can compact about 4-5 trashcans worth of stuff into something the size of a small bucket (3000# hydraulics is good for that). All plastics and recyclables are now required to be kept onboard until we pull into port and they can be recycled.

One of our freezers took a poo poo during an underway, so we had to "offload" several hundred pounds of meat into the ocean. The sharks ate well that night.

How did you offload the meat? Through an airlock, or just by surfacing and throwing it overboard?

We surfaced and threw it overboard. Launching it out the torpedo tubes probably would have been more fun.

Was it a thing on your boat for people to poo poo in bags and not say anything so it would get compacted and smear poo poo all over the machine? Cause it was for us. It was like a weekly goddamn thing.

When was the last time a U.S. submarine engaged and sank another submarine? Or for that matter, when any submarine engaged another submarine in an attack? It's gotta be.. what, World War II? Has there been a "modern" submarine engagement at all? We can extend the definition of modern to homing torpedos and sonar in general for the purposes of these questions, not necessarily nuclear submarines only. And have we used the SSGN's and their bazillion tomahawks yet?

Cerekk posted:Florida shot a bunch of Tomahawks at Libya. The Georgia was supposed to but some jerk had dropped a bolt in her reduction gears. Right around the beginning of the Iraq War, the US and France were having diplomatic issues, with Chirac stubbornly refusing to formally OK the war and continuing to deliver weapons to Saddam pretty much until our bombs started to fall. The De Gaulle was in the Gulf and keeping her E-2s in the air, and there was some concern that the French were using them to track American strike aircraft and possibly giving the data to the Iraqis. Then, within a week of the war starting, the De Gaulle skedaddled out of the Gulf rather impromptu. There's a sea story that we parked a 688i or two in her vicinity and told the French if she kept flying her AWACS once the shooting war started that we'd send her to the bottom; like all sea stories, take this with a cup of salt. When you're not fighting WWIII, submarine roles lean heavily to intelligence gathering and similar sneaky poo poo, so there are probably more 'got shot at' stories out there than 'got to shoot' stories.

But AIP subs do eventually have to snorkel, right? Don't they have to run ordinary diesels after a while?

WikiPedia posted:HMS Gotland managed to snap several pictures of the USS Ronald Reagan during a wargaming exercise in the Pacific Ocean, effectively "sinking" the aircraft carrier.[11] The exercise was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the US Fleet against diesel-electric submarines, which some have noted as severely lacking. I knew we were weak on SS ASW but goddamnI like to imagine them surfacing within like 1km of the Reagan and just waving to the carrier, then slipping back to periscope depth to listen to the Task Force Commander rip all his ASW guys new poopchutes. That is a tiny looking sub, too.

Actually not that hard; done that same thing in an SSN. Main defense is that carriers are fast. Stupid fast, all the time. So a 4KT diesel/AIP needs to be lucky as poo poo or catch a carrier off guard to get a decent shot with acceptable POI.
