If the systems were cross-connected, that would be possible.

Can the crew open a pressure relief valve in the bulkheads between the compartments? That might help if the door is jammed by an air pressure differential.

When a Yankee had one shaft windmilling, would both reactors be supplying steam to the other turbine? Would both reactors be critical? USS Enterprise CVN-65 had two A2W reactors per turbine.

I found The Black Ocean film by searching for its russan translation 'черный океан'. Its even available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8noyj0sE6I

Yer surprising how meany of those ice burgs have Russian hull green/red hull paint 😁🤫

This Yankee is one interesting boat! Your personnel stories enrich the briefs a lot! I've noticed the ruskies stretch some of there later SSBN's as well.

The sub modification was called Grusha in Russian, meaning pear.

Jive, parts 1-2 are in 1080p, but parts 3-6 only go up to 720p. Any chance that we could get the 1080p versions of the later episodes?

These briefs are getting better and better - amazing amount of detail, and some incredible true stories brought back to life. Thanks for the great content!
