Our major purpose is 01:02.460 --> 01:03.040 to have ship's position, 01:03.440 --> 01:05.960 to keep the ship safe when we're 01:05.961 --> 01:06.280 navigating around in the waters and then 01:06.960 --> 01:09.880 also to support the mission of launching 01:09.881 --> 01:10.640 missiles. We have a lot of stuff that we 01:10.880 --> 01:12.479 can't talk about. But, um, 01:12.640 --> 01:14.560 our major purpose is to give that 01:14.579 --> 01:16.119 position so we can 01:16.560 --> 01:19.159 fill in the world's mission of strategic 01:19.169 --> 01:20.080 deterrence. 01:20.159 --> 01:22.920 [Pouchet] All right guys, now that we are done with 01:22.980 --> 01:23.040 our tour of the navigation center with 01:23.920 --> 01:25.119 ETV3 Bourdelon, 01:25.140 --> 01:27.479 we will be going and conducting our tour 01:27.519 --> 01:28.479 in the control room. 01:28.579 --> 01:30.560 The tour guide for that will be 01:30.579 --> 01:32.799 ITS1 Wilson, so without further ado, let's go 01:32.800 --> 01:34.759 ahead and go on out there. 01:34.799 --> 01:37.040 [Wilson] Welcome to control, really the brains of 01:37.759 --> 01:39.280 the submarine. 01:39.340 --> 01:43.360 Here we operate, um, the submarine, 01:43.380 --> 01:45.640 changing buoyancies, directions of the 01:45.660 --> 01:46.880 submarine. 01:46.940 --> 01:48.600 Where I'm standing right now, the officer of the 01:48.880 --> 01:51.960 deck will pass orders to the helm, 01:51.961 --> 01:54.880 one of our most junior enlisted spots. 01:54.960 --> 01:56.840 I also have, you know, senior enlisted 01:56.880 --> 01:59.520 over here as well, managing the buoyancy, 01:59.840 --> 02:03.799 managing the direction of where we are 02:03.820 --> 02:04.479 going. 02:04.799 --> 02:08.319 Over here we have our, our fire control, 02:08.479 --> 02:10.080 with the assistance of sonar, and they're 02:10.319 --> 02:11.800 tracking contact making sure we don't 02:12.880 --> 02:12.840 run into 02:12.850 --> 02:15.000 potential contacts out there. Here we 02:15.840 --> 02:18.280 we manage casualties. Everything will be 02:18.300 --> 02:19.959 managed from control. 02:19.960 --> 02:20.040 It really is the brains of the 02:20.959 --> 02:23.560 operation. Whether we get strategic 02:23.640 --> 02:24.520 tasking from the President 02:24.560 --> 02:25.519 of the United States 02:25.520 --> 02:28.040 or from STRATCOM, all the decisions for 02:28.800 --> 02:31.239 the submarine are based out of control. 02:31.240 --> 02:32.140 [Pouchet] All right guys, I hope that you enjoyed 02:32.239 --> 02:33.400 your time up here in control 02:33.840 --> 02:34.599 ITS1 Wilson. 02:34.600 --> 02:35.720 From here we'll be heading on down to 02:35.799 --> 02:36.640 the torpedo room to speak with 02:36.720 --> 02:38.599 Petty Officer Conklin. 02:38.640 --> 02:41.640 [Conklin] Hi, I'm TM2 Conklin from the USS Maine. 02:41.699 --> 02:42.519 Today we're going to show you the 02:42.640 --> 02:43.440 torpedo room. 02:43.519 --> 02:45.120 So, behind me I have the weapons launch 02:45.440 --> 02:47.800 console. We use the weapons launch 02:47.920 --> 02:48.480 console to help communicate weapons 02:48.800 --> 02:50.360 launching operations between fire 02:50.480 --> 02:51.599 control. 02:51.660 --> 02:53.840 Uh, we have four torpedo tubes. On the 02:53.899 --> 02:55.159 plus side room we have torpedo tubes two 02:55.840 --> 02:58.319 and four. So, these right here are called 02:58.459 --> 03:00.080 dollies. These are 80 pounds. 03:00.319 --> 03:02.000 These are teddy bears. These, actually, you 03:02.080 --> 03:04.000 can attach the, uh, dollies 03:04.480 --> 03:06.840 on top of these so that we could move 03:06.900 --> 03:07.040 this in the stowage position. As of 03:07.840 --> 03:11.800 right now, we have no torpedoes on board. 03:11.940 --> 03:12.680 This right here is the rail for our 03:12.800 --> 03:13.239 rabbets 03:13.680 --> 03:16.319 and normally we don't move these but we 03:16.439 --> 03:18.519 remove the actual torpedoes 03:18.619 --> 03:21.720 this goes all throughout the line of our 03:21.819 --> 03:22.080 tube loading 03:22.720 --> 03:26.319 and weapon handling tray and with that 03:26.380 --> 03:28.159 we use those to move the torpedoes. 03:28.319 --> 03:32.040 These are the dc battle lanterns. So, it's 03:32.159 --> 03:33.640 called dc, 03:33.740 --> 03:36.799 damage control, so if we lose power 03:36.840 --> 03:38.799 we could use these to actually operate 03:38.899 --> 03:40.400 so that we can actually still see things 03:40.799 --> 03:42.680 using this dc lighting. 03:42.700 --> 03:43.200 [Pouchet] Now that we're done down the torpedo 03:43.680 --> 03:45.560 room with Petty Officer Conklin, we're 03:45.600 --> 03:46.440 here up on second level. 03:46.560 --> 03:47.959 We're going to be going to the missile 03:47.960 --> 03:48.640 control center, which is my space, along 03:48.959 --> 03:50.920 with MT1 McDonald. 03:50.940 --> 03:51.959 I'll be turning you guys over to him 03:51.960 --> 03:52.400 once we're in there and he'll be giving 03:52.959 --> 03:54.840 you your tour of the control center. 03:54.900 --> 03:57.840 So, let's go ahead and get it going. 03:58.841 --> 04:02.319 [McDonald] All right guys, this is, uh, MT1 McDonald. 04:01.340 --> 04:02.680 This is MCC 04:02.719 --> 04:03.159 and here we monitor the safety and 04:03.680 --> 04:06.920 security of the weapon system and also 04:06.959 --> 04:09.560 maintain targeting and launcher. So 04:09.920 --> 04:12.040 at the launcher console is where we can 04:12.560 --> 04:13.360 control 04:13.440 --> 04:15.040 opening hatches shutting hatches, monitoring 04:15.360 --> 04:17.239 tube temperatures and pressures 04:17.240 --> 04:20.359 and on the fire control side is where we 04:20.639 --> 04:21.120 maintain the guide system in the 04:21.359 --> 04:23.560 missiles themselves. So, you can think of 04:23.620 --> 04:24.199 launcher as the 04:24.560 --> 04:27.080 the brawns of the weapon system and fire 04:27.199 --> 04:28.320 control 04:28.380 --> 04:30.680 as the brains of the operation. Thank you 04:30.720 --> 04:31.800 guys for stopping by MCC, 04:31.880 --> 04:32.639 and I’m going to turn you back over to 04:32.800 --> 04:34.360 Petty Officer Pouchet. 04:34.639 --> 04:35.040 [Pouchet] Hey everyone. Now that we're done 04:35.360 --> 04:37.800 talking missile control center 04:37.840 --> 04:38.520 with Petty Officer McDonald, here we have 04:38.800 --> 04:39.480 one of the 04:39.520 --> 04:40.860 several staterooms that we have on board 04:40.880 --> 04:42.000 USS Maine. This one in particular is the 04:42.960 --> 04:44.819 WEPS and AWEPS 04:44.900 --> 04:45.240 state room. Here they would have their 04:45.919 --> 04:48.520 desks with computers and workstations. 04:48.540 --> 04:49.860 Unfortunately we had to have them up due 04:49.870 --> 04:50.360 the nature of the work that we do here 04:50.960 --> 04:53.840 for this video. 04:53.860 --> 04:55.720 Here is the wardroom. This is where the 04:55.840 --> 04:56.759 officers 04:56.760 --> 04:59.880 dine. They have all their meals here and 04:59.888 --> 05:00.759 it's all assigned seating.

Let me tell 09:02.480 --> 09:04.040 you about how we make drinking water. so 09:04.080 --> 09:05.040 the nukes will 09:05.140 --> 09:07.120 take the undrinkable water and they will 09:07.140 --> 09:09.720 turn it into drinkable water through our 09:09.820 --> 09:10.240 reverse osmosis units. 09:10.720 --> 09:12.640 We're in charge of all the extinguishers, 09:12.740 --> 09:14.920 fire hoses, everything like that to make 09:14.940 --> 09:15.279 you know everything safe. So, when we're 09:15.320 --> 09:17.800 on underway, we don't have to worry about 09:17.879 --> 09:18.279 any casualties or anything like that. 09:18.300 --> 09:21.399 We can take care of it all.
