- Hey it's me Destin.
Welcome back to Smarter Every Day.
If you're just joining
this nuclear submarine deep dive series,
boy have I got a treat for you.
We have covered a ton of stuff
that happens on board nuclear submarines.
We looked at sonar, we looked at torpedoes
how to make air, food, water,
all this stuff, the command structure.
This has been a fascinating series on board
the USS Toledo, as it participates in ICEX in the Arctic.
We're under the ice in the nuclear submarine.
It's awesome.
So today's video is the next to last video in the series.
We're going to end the whole series
by surfacing through the ice,
which is fascinating and far more complicated
than I could imagine,
but I needed a video to try to
catch all the things that didn't really have another place.
So today on Smarter Every Day,
we're going to talk about
all these things that you might not think to ask
about life on board a nuclear submarine,
until you find yourself on a nuclear submarine.
So, to get started
I want to show you a game that I learned on board.
It's called cribbage.
I saw it in the crew's mess,
I saw it in the ward room
and I saw it in the chief's quarters.
This is a game that involves cards
and using a clever arrangement
of numbers and stuff like that,
and pegs to keep track of your score.
If you were looking closely during the sonar video,
you could see above the white board
that Chief Luth was using to explain sonar to me,
there was a scoreboard of sorts
between the captain and the executive officer.
That's how important cribbage is on a submarine.
So, I mean this is a built-in cribbage board.
So what's the deal with cribbage?
This is like the second or third time I've seen it.
- [Submariner] It's like a game you can play on a ship
that's moving around.
- [Destin] Yeah, oh--
- [Naval Officer] That's why it's a Naval
like a Navy tradition.
- [Destin] 'Cause of the pegs
'cause if the boat's moving, it doesn't matter.
- So in all sailing ships they drill holes in the wood
and they put the pegs in and that's how they play it.
- [Destin] That's awesome.
- It's like the underwear thing.
Just to waste some time, blow off some steam.
- [Destin] Really?
- Do some math quick in your head.
- [Destin] Really? It's pretty fun?
- Yes, a lot of fun.
- [Destin] So like all submariners
know how to play cribbage.
- Most - I would say most of us know.
It's not all of us.
- [Destin] Who's the best?
- He claims to be but
he actually just got whooped on one a little bit.
- It varies on who you're playing.
- [Destin] How long does it take to play one game?
- 10 minutes. - 15 minutes.
- It depends on how good your hands are.
- [Destin] 15?
- 10, 15 minutes, yes. - It doesn't take long.
- Well, some people can't count so it takes longer.
(Destin laughs)
- Yeah some people don't count for it.
- You don't play check. (submariners laughing)
'Cause you need a translator.
- It's frustrating man, like always
speak, did you even go to school?
- [Submariner] Yeah. (Destin laughs)
- Second language is English you know.
(laughter)
- [Destin] Where are you from?
- South Carolina.
- [Destin] Oh, yeah? (all laughing)
- [Destin] He said that, you just see the shame on his face.
South Carolina.
He's like I don't know what I'm gonna say
- My accent comes in every now and then too, so.
- Do you know what code switching is?
- Uh.
- Code switching is when you hear someone
talk in a certain way and you try to match it.
- Okay.
- I do that so hard. - Oh, really?
- Oh yeah.
Yeah I was talking to this fancy lady the other day,
and then someone came up from like South Alabama.
They were like, "Hey man, how's it going?"
I was like, "What's up Bird? How's it going?"
And she's like, "Destin, are you okay?"
It's just a thing, man.
So this is a shirt for the sun?
- (speaking together) That's from our Chief's Quarters.
- That's our actual tee shirt.
- [Destin] Well, you have a, you have a shirt for here.
- Yes.
- Like this 20 square feet
has like its own shirt.
So this literally is a club.
- [Submariner] Yes.
(all laugh)
- Can I know the handshake?
Don't even act like there's no handshake.
There's no handshake?
- There is no handshake.
- No handshake.
- [Destin] Well let me teach you one.
So, yeah, yeah.
So like that,
and then you roll it up, roll it up,
and you throw it down and step on it.
You can't smoke on a submarine,
everybody knows that.
(all laughing)
(making fizzing sound)
- I like that. - (making fizzing sound)
- Morale is a huge thing on the boat at all times.
That's why submariners get really good food, right?
One thing that I didn't realize could be used
as a tool to increase morale is facial hair.
I kid you not, mustaches are used specifically
in order to increase morale on the boat.
There's a special individual
on the boat, that I had never heard of this position,
it's called the yeoman.
This person is in charge of all the admin.
So for example, how do you get paid?
Like how do you make sure
like everything is accounted for
and all the admin stuff is straightened out.
This is a very important job.
So it was really interesting to speak
to Petty Officer Cleveland
and understand what the role of the yeoman is.
