Incredible video tour of a state-of-the-art U.S nuclear submarine - which has an onboard diner, wood-panelled officers' quarters and a periscope operated by an XBOX CONTROLLER
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The USS Indiana is a multi-billion-dollar state-of-the–art U.S nuclear-powered submarine, capable of staying submerged for three months at a time and firing 16 Tomahawk cruise missiles in a single salvo.She has the latest in stealth technology, can travel at up to 29mph (25 knots) and can dive to depths of at least 800 feet (her actual dive capabilities are classified). What's more, Navy Seal forces can exit and enter the submarine while she's under the water from a chamber within the vessel. By all accounts, she's one of the most lethal boats on the planet – and now you can peek inside thanks to fascinating footage vlogger Terry Fields filmed when he clambered down the hatch for a tour during 'Fleet Week' at Port Everglades in Florida. The video, which has been viewed over 200,000 times on YouTube, shows the captain's quarters, the stylish mess hall and Fields clambering inside a torpedo tube. What aspects of the submarine impressed him? 'Certainly, the control room,' Fields told MailOnline Travel. There, he learns from his tour guide - the submarine's commander, Scott Bresnahan - that sailors use an Xbox controller to control the periscope.
