What does it really mean to earn your submarine dolphins in the US Navy?
Navy veteran and author Rob Robertson explains why qualifying as a submariner was tougher than earning three college degrees or three black belts.
It wasn’t just about passing tests.
It was about proving to roughly 120 fellow sailors that you knew the boat, understood the systems, could perform under pressure, and could be trusted when lives were on the line.
Rob served aboard the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Louisville, and in this clip from The Toosday Crüe, he breaks down the intense qualification process behind one of the most respected symbols in the submarine community.
📚 Rob is also the author of A Submariner’s Tale: After the Dolphins: The Cost of Carrying On.
