I was among the last submariners in the Royal Navy to do SETT before they shut it down, they shut it down because a modern Submarine going down would be too deep to escape from so it was a waste of time and money.

>Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door

Assuming you can survive the actual sub depressurizing, yes you can live. I scuba dive, and have made ascensions from over 200 feet without air. At those depths, we are taking about 6 atms of pressure, and so a full breath at that depth is actually a ton of air. You just must keep letting out the air as you ascend. The air expands and you let it out as you go. I just hum to ensure I don't lose let it out to fast.

Just don't HOLD your breath when you ascend, over expansion injuries will fuck you up.

K-141 Kursk.

Torpedo explodes and sinks the submarine. There are still living crew on board. Russians reject NATO offers of rescue. Russian take forever to reach the Kursk. Get there just in time for the last survivors to die as their compartment floods and their oxygen candle is extinguished.

>>33903054
I dive nitrox exclusively, and I don't actually run out of air at any time. Only retards do. I had air, I just was doing it to try. We were doing compression diving that weekend so I was able to go back down and ease my way up after my experience.

I've also intentionally narc'ed myself a few times, it's fun but really terrifying when you think about it.

>>33903054
Oh and no, I'm not a professional. I just dive for fun.

>>33903164
Ah ok, I haven't done mixed gas yet but I assumed from depth. One day I'll give it a shot, I'm addicted to dry suits after getting the cert and figured how I can't afford one, heart breaking.

Rapid depressurization doesn't happen, because the air pressure inside is equal to the water pressure outside. This means you drown normally.

Evacuation procedures are much scarier. Imagine climbing into a very small 4x4' sized pipe, then letting it fill up with water in the dark. Then, you have to go out into pure darkness (deep underwater), where you and your team will determine the next course of action, assuming you don't immediately freeze to death. Or, you can stay inside the vehicle and slowly asphyxiate as the oxygen runs out.

>>33902179

I asked my dad this question. He has spent over 20 yrs in the Navy, all which was on subs. I asked him this and he just laughed, told me to play the lotto cause I'd have better odds.

>>33902829

>>33903148

Actually it didn't get extinguished because of water - they died in a fire. Those that didn't burn to death alive suffocated because the fire took the last of their oxygen.

>>33903315

>where you and your team will determine the next course of action

uh, swim up?

>>33902179

Assuming the people at the bridge can surface or there's enough diving eq- yeah not really.

>>33902179
Wouldn't a shitton of water filling a sub quickly compress the air in the rest of it and heat it?

>>33903595

A sub acts as a bubble - the water wont' rush in, the air will hold it out. You die in a sinking sub by suffocation when your oxygen runs out, not from water.

>>33903656
even way deep?

>>33902863
Good call, ship life is fucking terrible as a junior enlisted man. Unless you want to be operating or some shit Air Force is the actual correct choice though.

>>33903656
air is compressible you mongoloid

>>33903656
That's not how that works at all.

>>33903225
Do mixed gas, NOW. It's far safer than diving normal air, and it allows you do dive more in a shorter time. In one day, on a dive vacation I will squeeze in up to 4 dives in one day.

For normal diving, it gives you a much safer buffer over normal air.

>>33903164
What were you doing on nitrox at 200 feet. That's a daft thing to do.

As is deliberately poisoning yourself underwater as you describe.
I reckon if this happened at all, you suspected it might and when it did you bluffed it out and was all 'yeah i meant to do that'.

Either way its a dick move. As is being at 200 feet on nitrox.

>>33902829
I'm looking for it and love to see it. I'm certain they would of documented it but like you said, it seems to have disappeared off the internet.

>>33903656
No, you die when the sub crushes at crush depth, ya dingus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_depth_ratings

Depends on the sub.

Russian subs actually have escape pods.

American submariners get an orange drysuit and are told if you ever need it you're basically dead already because the suits are rated for ascending from 700 feet and the average depth of the ocean is TWO MILES.

Plus on average our submarine force is cold war era.

You think with the money we pay they could do a little fucking better but NOPE

Honestly my opinion is Americans are being scammed trillions and when they find out people will be straight up hung

>>33904001
Getting narced isnt that dangerous as long as you have someone responsible with you. It's not going to kill you unless you don't realize you are wasting your air staring at sand or something.

Nitrox is safe well over 200 feet if you use an appropriate blend. Let me guess, you aren't even certified for overhead?

>>33904091
Escape pods, orange suits etc are really more of a feel good thing to keep around for the crew. If a sub is seriously damaged the navy either sends in special rescue subs like we would have used on Kursk or everybody dies.

Deep down most submariners know that if the sub is damaged to the point where you need to evacuate you've already been dead since the time of the damage.

>>33903656

That WOULD be true if the air mix was kept at equal pressure to the outside water AND if the ship was holed on the bottom

>>33904157

Depends.

Kinda like how most car accidents take place within two miles of your home(if what I've been told is true) I imagine most submarine accidents take place in shallower water that would allow time to escape.

Personnel are ALWAYS the most expensive investment. The crew of an Abrams is worth more than the tank. People, and especially people in the armed forces, are insanely expensive.

you don't need to lie here friend.

reminder that nitrox is designed to give you better bottom time at shallow depth by eliminating nitrogen at the expense of increased ppO2.

>>33904260

Oxygen toxicity depths are based on AVERAGES and probably have a buffer for safety in case the average person accidentally exceeded the limit.

Its perfectly possible someone can do what he says he did.

that picture is Truls Hellevik (Norwegian, 34 years old)

>>33904318
a 36% EAN mixture has a max depth of 30m. 200 ft is 61m.

He's diving at more the double depth. Any sane divemaster would never dive with them again. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying it's beyond stupid and he didn't do it because the amount of shit you'd get from whoever is diving with you isn't worth it.

>>33904376
Tables about about nitrogen accumulation, not oxygen toxicity.

>>33904434
No shit, but we are talking about the margin of safety. You know damn well there are conservative factors on everything in diving. Nirtrox can be used safely down several hundred feet.

>>33904418

I can't believe its true, though.

IIRC the wiki said they were at 9 atmospheres when decompression happened.

That's equivalent to being 300 feet deep.

Now, I'm not what I'd call educated, BUT I don't think that's deep enough to cause them to explode into gore like that.

>>33904434

True, its not recommended at all.

But we have safety buffers for a reason.

And I'm glad we have them because one accident can be horrible.

>>33902425
Hellevik would have been dead before being pulled through the unsealed section. The massive hemorrhaging, boiling of the blood, and shock of the pressure shift would result in instantaneous, and quite possibly painless, death. As compared to a more gradual but still rapid pressure change, it's not a bad way to go.

As for OP's question; it's all a matter of variables. At great depths, small hull breaches can result in a catastrophic hull failure, and likely almost instant death for all aboard. Those sorts of depths aren't really the operating range for military submarines (SSNs, SSBNs, etc.) For those the real danger comes from flooding, although hull collapse is still a very real threat, especially once the vessel impacts the ocean floor. Keep in mind that much of the ocean is deeper than where subs are designed to operate, so a sinking vessel would inevitably pass into a depth that would cause a collapse.

In short, you'd be better off dying instantly in a hull implosion than either drowning or suffocating in an airtight chamber a'la Kursk.

>>33904091

What the fuck are you talking about? Our subs are one of the few functioning parts of our military.

9 Atmospheres is 132 lbs per square inch of pressure. That's more than enough to vaporize a fleshy watery meat sack like us. The average human has 22 square feet of skin or 3168 square inches. So say the air is only pushing on half of that because its going one way. That's 11 square feet of exposed body or 1584 square inches of surface. 1584 square inches times 132 lbs/in gives 209,088 POUNDS pushing against half of your body as the air rushes past you.

You would absolutely get exploded and or forced through ANY opening if you were close enough to it. Pressure is no joke.

Military submarines spend most of their time at or near the surface, they don't dive deep like research submersibles or saturation divers do.

Your chance of escape is probably not that good, but it's not guaranteed death like being in a pressure chamber suddenly being opened or something.

>>33904463
>>33904490
Yes, we have the margins of safety, but this goes beyond them. Let's look at the maths:

36% mixture, at max depth of 30m:
0.36 * 4 = 1.44 bar ppO2

36% mixture, at max depth of 60m:
0.36 * 7 = 2.52 bar ppO2

Oxygen toxicity in the average person sets in above 1.6 bar.

The max depth for 36% oxygen is 30m with a few metres of margin, not double.
This isn't pushing the margins, this is plain idiocy.
This is the diving equivalent of pointing your weapon in anything but the safe direction while carrying out your unload drills.

Think some of the newer suits are good to about 5-600ft, but your chances of getting to one and then actually getting out of the fucked sub that's being blown up are extremely low.

>>33902863
I did some basic scuba qualifications when I was in the army, also did a joy ride on a sub for a few weeks.
Basically- avoid subs, stay away from clearance divers because they're fucked in the head, normal boats in all shapes and sizes are also terrible things and never volunteer for anything. Make them chase you, they'll think you're playing hard to get

>>33904582

Its true but the depth is calculated from AVERAGES.

For example, there are people that can hold their breath 5-10 minutes. David Blaine held his breath like an hour IIRC unless he cheated.

Then there are people that can't hold their breath 30 seconds.

So its still possible he can do it. Because AVERAGES =/= individual ability.

>>33904800
No clearly the best way to dispose of Wolverine it to throw him into a volcano with an adamantium anchor, causing all his flesh to be melted away as he regenerates for the next million years in unbearable pain.

>>33902179
Very Low but I still think it could depend on a few factors.

Depth, Training and Equipment

For Depth it has to be at least a pressure that most experienced divers have dealt with in training. Training being how well one can swim in those conditions and lastly whether their is even diving gear capable of allowing you to resurface.

This is also assuming the water isn't freezing, aquatic wildlife isn't wanting to kill you, unknown debris doesn't crash on top of you, etc etc.

Never thought getting narc' ed was dangerous per se but kinda like arguing that drink driving isn't dangerous.

Also I'll freely admit to not being certified for the jargon you use, didn't even google it to be honest.

My limited knowledge of enriched air diving says that the deeper you go with nitrox the more open you are to oxygen poisoning, which is dangerous.

In terms I'll understand please enlighten me why this may not be the case.

I know that safety tolerances for published saturation tables are large.

I also know different people's bodies absorb gases at different rates.

Are you just pushing the safety limit or am I missing something with nitrox.

I'm not sure how strong his regeneration is...

If you destroy all his cells how would he regenerate? He wouldn't be in pain long because he clearly can become unconscious.

In one comic he got ripped apart and eaten. He regenerated and his body parts came together within hours or something.

If you cut him in half and separated the halves would they generate two wolverines with half adamantium skeletons and half human skeletons?

What about a cell, or a finger? How far does the regeneration go?

Are the limits explained anywhere?

Maybe one day I'll get a time machine and abduct Mr Blaine and repeat what I saw on TV. I'll be generous and tell him I'll only keep him underwater for 30 minutes.

Then I'll know if he was lying or not.

There's being a magician and letting everyone know its a trick, then there's being a scam artist.

depends on depth and whether you can get to an escape trunk.

Water temperature is another factor: in Arctic waters you can only survive for a few minutes before your muscles seize up and like 15 minutes before you freeze to death

submariners are pretty hardcore though. Apparently when Seawolf(the liquid metal Seawolf not the Jimmy Carter was smarter Seawolf) got trapped in the seabed during a wiretap mission the crew were prepared to set scuttling charges

Funny enough my grandfather was one of the guys to go in and get the injured and dead out of the reactor. SL-1 was a continuation of Project Iceworm where they tried to use reactors to power missile bases in the ice of Greenland.

Its basically impossible to get any significant narcosis on nitrox due to O2 partial pressure limit is reached before you can get deep enough to feel the effects of nitrogen narcosis. On regular compreesed air most people dont start feeling any effects until 120-130ft. But with Nitrox you are replacing enough nitrogen with oxygen to void those effects until much deeper. and on a 32% nitrox blend your partial pressure limit of 1.6 is only 130ft, so you would risk oxygen toxicity limit before nitrogen narcosis would kick in. Fuck off anon.

>At 9:17 p.m., a health physicist arrived. He and a fireman, both wearing air tanks and masks with positive pressure in the mask to force out any potential contaminants, approached the reactor building stairs. Their detectors read 25 röntgens per hour (R/hr) as they started up the stairs, and they withdrew.

>Some minutes later, a health physics response team arrived with radiation meters capable of measuring gamma radiation up to 500 R/hr—and full-body protective clothing.

>They entered the reactor building around 10:45 pm and found two mutilated men soaked with water: one clearly dead (Byrnes), the other moving slightly (McKinley) and moaning. With one entry per person and a 1-minute limit, a team of 5 men with stretchers recovered the operator who was still breathing around 10:50; he did not regain consciousness and died of his head injury at about 11 p.m. Even stripped, his body was so contaminated that it was emitting about 500 R/hr. Meanwhile, the third man was discovered about 10:38 p.m., impaled to the ceiling

>The bodies of all three were buried in lead-lined caskets sealed with concrete and placed in metal vaults with a concrete cover. Some highly radioactive body parts were buried in the Idaho desert as radioactive waste. Army Specialist Richard Leroy McKinley is buried in section 31 of Arlington National Cemetery.

Well for a start, that's less than a third of pressure difference (or half, depends which way you look at it) which is a bit different from the 9 atmospheres to 1. Also depends on how big the hole they went through was, since that'll not only lower the speed of pressure change (slightly) but prevent the poor bastards from suffering from 'toothpaste from a tube' syndrome.

As for the falling part, I can only mention the way cats stop themselves from dying by spreading their bodies out to slow down with friction. There's probably a study or two on that for humans.
Don't forget, people regularly use buildings and gravity to kill themselves on purpose.

They found his organs 30 feet away from the rest of his body so obviously it was pretty fucking violent. If it makes you feel better, you're more likely to die alone in a nursing home over the course of like a month with nothing to do other than see your family a few times when they visit for an hour and contemplate your impending demise, so we can all feel lucky about that.

>no results

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tang_(SS-306)

At 02:30 on the morning of 25 October, the 24th and last torpedo (a Mark 18 electric torpedo) was fired. It broached and curved to the left in a circular run. Tang fishtailed under emergency power to clear the turning circle of the torpedo, but it struck her abreast the after torpedo room approximately 20 seconds after it was fired.[DANFS 1] The explosion was violent, and men as far forward as the control room received broken limbs. The ship went down by the stern with the after three compartments flooded.

The submarine bottomed at 180 ft (55 m) and the thirty[23] survivors crowded into the forward torpedo room as the aft compartments flooded, intending to use the forward escape trunk.[23] Publications were burned, and all assembled in the forward room to escape. The escape was delayed by a Japanese patrol which dropped depth charges, and started an electrical fire in the forward battery. Beginning at 6:00 AM on 25 October, using the Momsen Lung, "the only known case" where it was used,[23] thirteen men escaped from the forward torpedo room.[25] By the time the last had exited, the heat from the battery fire was so intense, paint on the bulkhead was scorching, melting, and running down.[26] Of the 13 men who escaped from the forward torpedo room, only five were rescued.[25][27] One sailor who was near the group of five but injured during the ascent was not rescued.[28] Three who were on the bridge were rescued after swimming for 8 hours.[25] Another survivor escaped the conning tower and used his pants as a flotation device.[25] A total of 78 men were lost.[29]

Nine survivors, including O'Kane, were picked up the next morning by Japanese frigate CD-34.

This person is a retard.

Lets put it this way, you have enough force from the water pressure compressing the air in the submarine, and the oxygen and whatever is flammable (Oils, fuel, cloth, people) will ignite with it.

You are now aware of what it feels like to be gasoline in your cars cylinder chamber.

>>33911148
Hmmm, what you're sort of forgetting is that there's a lethal dose and then there's all the 'not lethal but you're fucked anyway' doses which cause severe injuries, permanently disable and generally wreck your shit.

Basically all the the really rapetacular chem weapons degrade over time, sometimes days, weeks, months etc- but people forget that in the process of degrading, they're reverting back to the equivalent of a Breaking Bad meth lab at best, all the way through to a Frankenstein Fun time where its doing damage to people so they have all these fucked up, mutant kids, cancers, weird blood diseases and other shit.

That's BORAX, which was melted intentionally.

>>33910527
Lolno. The control rods were flaking apart, which made them tend to stick. SL-1 also had one giant control rod that was large enough to make the others not really matter. A few months before the meltdown, something similar happened where the big control rod got stuck, somebody tried pulling it out, and it came out super far. One of the guys manning the reactor watched the guy pulling on the rod (benis :DDD) and threw a wrench at him just in time for him to drop it and keep a meltdown from happening. After the reactor went tits into the stratosphere and it was revealed that the army knew of the problem with the rods, a bunch of rumors were spread about Mr. Rodgroin being gay, his wife cheating, or one of the other guys kicking him in the nuts while he pulled the rod out, since the army was pretty embarrassed about the whole thing.

>>33910711
>Died of his head injury
MORE FUN FACTS:
He was the first transracial person in the army, since his skin was BLACKED from a combination of burns and radiation poisoning. His eyes were crushed into his skull from the pressure of the reactor exploding, and he was otherwise all fucked up from reactor/shield bits flying around and smashing him into the wall. He died about an hour and a half later in the back of an ambulance that had to be abandoned with his body in it, since his body made the whole ambulance dangerously radioactive.

Learning about optimising the technology was probably the biggest reason at the time, since the military have always been the ones with all the kit for it (especially so nowadays, since they'll be even more paranoid about letting it fall into 'the wrong hands').

So they've got the truck up on a lift and running around replacing bearings, one of the junior mechanics leans on the lift switch to lower it, 3 guys underneath are preparing to meet their maker.

nigger, some things need service more than replacement. As long as the reactor, comms equipment, torpedo bays, etc. are working fine, why replace these subs especially with larger ones?

The whole journey of the fleet was a fuckup. Identify bong fishing boats as enemy ships, manage to damage their own ships with their own guns. Almost got sunk by the entire Royal Navy fleet, multiple ships break down on the journey. Land on some island for months, most of the crew die from diseases on the tropical deathtrap.

Ever read the story of their nuclear icebreaker Lenin? It had TWO meltdowns.

During the second meltdown (in 1967), they had a coolant loss inside the reactor, which was completely encased in concrete shielding. To fix the leak they had sailors break through the concrete shielding with sledgehammers. After they got in, they realized they couldn't fix the damage they'd just done. Whole ship had to be gutted.

The ship stayed in operation until the late 80s.

I literally once had a nightmare about this. I was a Russian sailor that couldn't speak Russian. They handed me a sledgehammer and pointed at the reactor.

>>33919539
>To fix the leak they had sailors break through the concrete shielding with sledgehammers.

It's strange to think that they had to do all that just because of a leaking pipe. Did the reactor design allow for no repairs or what?

>>33920029
Wikipedia's source says this:
>The second accident aboard the Lenin took place in 1967, when the pipe system of the third circuit sprung a leak following the loading of fresh nuclear fuel. In this instance it was necessary to open the biological shield of the reactor compartment in order to locate the leakage. This protection was made of concrete mixed with metal shavings and it required the use of sledgehammers to break through the shield.This led to further damage of the reactor installation. Upon later examination, it became clear that it would be impossible to repair the damage incurred to the reactor installation by the sledghammers.

you see how the hull telescoped? there is no surviving this. Death is instant when the boat implodes. Just the sudden pressure increase will kill you. Los Angles class boats only have two water tight compartments. The forward half, and the engine room. If either is compromised by a torpedo, it's game over. The guys in the other half just can wait until implosion or it rests on the bottom. Less that 200 feet depth, escape via escape trunk and Stienke hood (It's like the Momsen Lung). Or wait for DSRV.

>On January 3, 1961, the reactor was being prepared for restart after a shutdown of eleven days over the holidays. Maintenance procedures required that the main central control rod be manually withdrawn a few inches to reconnect it to its drive mechanism. At 9:01 p.m., this rod was suddenly withdrawn too far, causing SL-1 to go prompt critical instantly. In four milliseconds, the heat generated by the resulting enormous power excursion caused water surrounding the core to begin to explosively vaporize. The water vapor caused a pressure wave to strike the top of the reactor vessel, causing water and steam to spray from the top of the vessel. This extreme form of water hammer propelled control rods, shield plugs, and the entire reactor vessel upward. A later investigation concluded that the 26,000-pound (12,000 kg) vessel had jumped 9 feet 1 inch (2.77 m) and the upper control rod drive mechanisms had struck the ceiling of the reactor building prior to settling back into its original location. The spray of water and steam knocked two operators onto the floor, killing one and severely injuring another. One of the shield plugs on top of the reactor vessel impaled the third man through his groin and exited his shoulder, pinning him to the ceiling. The victims were Army Specialists John A. Byrnes (age 27) and Richard Leroy McKinley (age 22), and Navy Seabee Construction Electrician First Class (CE1) Richard C. Legg (age 26). It was later established that Byrnes (the reactor operator) had lifted the rod and caused the excursion, Legg (the shift supervisor) was standing on top of the reactor vessel and was impaled and pinned to the ceiling, and McKinley, the trainee who stood nearby, was later found alive by rescuers. All three men succumbed to injuries from physical trauma; however, the radiation from the nuclear excursion would have given the men no chance of survival even if they had not been killed by the explosion stemming from the criticality accident.

Ouchi immediately saw a flash of blue light emanating from the container. It was the most beautiful and also the most terrifying thing he had ever seen. Ouchi immediately felt nauseous. He vomited in to the tank and lost consciousness in a matter of seconds. His co-worker Masato Shinohara managed to run three paces before losing consciousness as alarms at the Tokaimura nuclear facility sounded.

More like diesel in an engine

but the pressure that you'd need would be intense like in an engine sort of compression 220+ bar

and the pressure change would need to be exceedingly quick. Like the movement of a piston kinda quick.

And the environment would have to be an ideal fuel air mix. Kind of like in an engine.

Any of these. Someone fucked up and unshielded nuclear fission began near them.

Actually that's not fair, some of those are caused by the gross negligence of parties other than the ones affected.

Hang on a minute.
I know the dolphin decompression dismemberment debacle was because of loads of shit tier thinking but...

...does this mean that they had a pressurised vessel on which the door opened outward?
Or did I miss something

No, it was a sliding door I think. If it opened either in or outward, the door would've shut/slammed open due to the pressure.
