The thing about it that makes it worse is that your chain of command knows you are suffering, knows you are having a bad time, and they know they can do things about it. They choose note to. They think you deserve to suffer. It is not that they don't care about you, they do, but just negatively. They actively work to make you feel bad.

What would even be a possible situation in which the sub could hang out losing only 40 or so feet of depth an hour? Irreparable damage to some electrical components or generation, but not all? That in combination with failure of ballast? But given enough time the lines would thaw. While strange things can happen, a leak at depth is only going to decrease buoyancy, causing loss of depth to increase in rate, causing the leak rate to increase. For them to have hung around that long I would think they would need a way to evacuate some of the water, to pump it out, which would require some amount of power, and as depth increases the harder it is to pump out. The Kursk only had initial survivors because it sank in water relatively shallow, the ship's length was longer than the depth of water in sank in. Had it been in open ocean it would have imploded as well. Submarines that start to sink either fix it pretty immediately/blow the ballast, or they start to sink faster.

Drowning is probably only a likely cause of death for the initial casualty that causes the vessel to lose buoyancy and begin to sink. In an implosion event the thermodynamic conditions that exist when the implosion occurs rapidly increases temperature to extreme temperatures as the hull moves rapidly inwards at up to 2500 feet per second. From time of implosion beginning to the event being concluded is roughly a few milliseconds, a shorter time than the 25ms human response time.

ded posted:Sure. But was it taught to you at BESS that the *correct* answer to "what is test depth" was that? I know it wasn't to me. It was driven home in both BESS and during basic sub quals that test depth was "the max depth that an EBT blow could get you to the surface without propulsion". It would appear that the Navy's definition of test depth does not take into account the ballast system directly. Perhaps it may take it into account inderectly. https://www.secnav.navy.mil/doni/Directives/09000%20General%20Ship%20Design%20and%20Support/09-100%20Hull%20Structure%20Support/9110.1D.pdf

I cannot imagine being underway and not smoking. Smoking was great because it dulled your sense of smell and everything smelled like stale smoke. A smell much better than the other stuff around!

Alright Steam-mates, due to the poor decision making of some foozler in the Dirigible Repair division we are gonna have a safety steam down. Now, you all know that you *must* complete your penny-farthing safety foundations course before you can ride one on base, right? And you must be wearing your proper steam protective equipment at all times while riding, not just on base. If you do not you will lose your footcycle privileges and potentially go up to steam funnel and see the old man.

I assume the submersible was supposed to surface by using ballast? So assuming there is a ballast issue, what was the redundant method they have? Or was redundancy in that impractical?

With a submersible of this size would it be possible to have it attached via a tether to the support ship above? And the tether attached to a winch or the submersible having some sort of climbing mechanism?

Stultus Maximus posted:Do they? Yeah, absolutely. As long as you are not a complete psychopath it is pretty easy to walk into 100k+/yr job when getting out. I have not made less than 100k a year since getting out, and one year I nearly hit 200, because I was doing a fair bit of overtime. Most years I don't work much overtime though. If you want to stay in the nuclear field 150k a year seems like it would be pretty achievable.

TheWeedNumber posted:I could make 1,168,000 a year if I sucked dick and let myself get hosed in the rear end for 400 an hr 8 hours a day, everyday. I think it would beat the Navy horror stories I’ve witnessed here, hands down. And I’m being conservative on the hourly rate here. That number can go up for sure. Don’t go nuke, tia. I am not sure if you are just making up an odd analogy or what here, or if you have access to a job that pays that much, or whatever. Being a Navy nuke definitely sucked and was a really difficult time for me, but it did set me up for a lot of success in life now. I did 10 years, but most of the folks I work with did 6 and they make the same amount or more than I do now. 6 years is a long time, but for some folks the payoff was definitely worth it.

Data centers are a pretty good gig. All the nukes I work with really like it, and it is a great job. Of course there are better or worse organizations to hire on with, but it is no where comparable to the stress and bullshit of civilian nuclear.

So, on the quarterdeck of the ship, where they have the pictures of everyone in the chain of command, does she get to move up to the CNO's picture slot, or is that just going to be comically empty for however long this takes?

Right now I can't use the copy machine in the tech library cause its leased by a different entity that can't figure out how to charge the operational entity for its per page use. Both entities are under MARAD so its just moving a couple cents from the left pocket to the right pocket. We don't even need to talk about the management company cause that just adds another layer of confusion. If you can't use the printer how are you going to print out the temporary picture of the CNO to go on the command board?

Neither he nor the other CPO's in the office ever heard of it. Naturally when they pulled it up on youtube and had it blaring on the speakers, the CMC and Commander walk into the office and proceed to join in the fun, apparently none of them had ever heard it. The junior sailors found it hilarious tho. Is this some sort of Khaki thing I am too blueshirt to understand?

Sorry I have not heard the sailor song before, even though I was in at the time it was released. Hell, I was at NRMD Norfolk and working at Portsmouth probably pretty close to when this was filmed.
