I have toured numerous WWII submarines, and two things stand out. The first is the very tight quarters. I can only imagine it filled with food and 80 people coming and going 24 hours per day. The second is the incredible complexity. There are wires, gauges, switches, plumbing fixtures and much more everywhere. These things were designed by geniuses and crewed by heroes. Brian has an encyclopedic knowledge of this ship and explained everything for the viewers. Thanks for the video, Joshua.

I am glad you mentioned the smell. In the 60s, my dad took me to a WW2 submarine, and that thing stunk to high heaven! Fuel, oil, and body odor permeated the entire submarine. The guy giving the tour said those smells would always be there. That settled it; no sub-duty for me!

I'm just amazed at how complex the submarines were. My hats off to all Submariners, past and present.

This is easily the most detailed, most knowledgeable sub tour I’ve seen, both in person and video. Thanks for sharing.

I was able to tour the Torsk when I was 7. It was amazing as a little boy! I will never forget that experience. If you have kids, give them an opportunity like seeing a ship like that in person.

I was on the USS Pampanito in SF two weeks ago, very similar submarine and its great to get a tour and everything explained that I saw!

I tour US WWII submarines and ships whenever I'm in a city that has one. I can't believe I missed this when I was in Baltimore!

I clicked on this and then realized it was over an hour but definitely worth it. From most of the curators I've watched, they are all very knowledgeable.

I'm a 21 year retired U S Navy Chief Petty Officer and served on surface ships. I find Brian's knowledge of the submarine very very impressive. I'll bet mot of the Sailors who served on this sub didn't know most of the things he knows. I was one of the guys he talked about who did the "Simple" flag signal. It's actually called Semaphore when using the hand signals though. We have a hand position for every letter of the alphabet. Great video though. I watched it a couple of times
