This video was sent to me by a friend who served as an officer in our nuclear submarine fleet. He was interviewed for his first job by Admiral Hyman Rickover, the father of the U.S. nuclear sub fleet. The video will show you how the USS Pennsylvania works. It is a nuclear powered that runs off a lump of uranium the size of your fist. It has been running since 1989 without having to refuel. Ever wonder how they get fresh air under water to last for months? How do they launch a nuclear warhead? How they can make the submarine quiet to avoid detection? My friend assures me that the information presented is accurate. It’s worth the time to watch. This is a foreign language video. chonday/Videos/pen1usnav1 (run time = 28:37)
