Down periscope is probably the most genuine view of the culture.

Down Periscope.

Hunt for Red October is 2nd. Das boot is 3rd. The new Hunter Killer was pretty good to if you like crazy action movies.

We break through the ice up there all the time!! Search for ICEX and you will see how it works. I was up there in 2004.

Listening to the ice pack make noises non stop. Creeking, moaning grinding banging. An endless noise that you can hear through the hull. Reminds you over and over and over your hopeless under a thick ice sheet and your not going to emergency blow if all else fails.

I didnt really care. I wanted to support my country and not to be sent to Iraq or Afganistan. I thought going out to sea on a navy vessel was always inherently dangerous and it didnt really matter in the end if you were a submariner. I was sooo wrong lol. It is a totally different culture and life. Was the best thing i was ever wrong about.
