WilliamT from the Google warehouse also has a few ship models. This one is his Los Angeles class submarine, the USS Honolulu, SSN-718.

This isn’t really a video, but it is a great collection of pictures that shows the reality of being onboard and focuses on the crew. No words in the soundtrak, so if it bothers you you can safely turn it off.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_class_submarine
The Los Angeles class, sometimes called the LA-class or the 688-class, is a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) that forms the backbone of the United States submarine fleet. With 62 submarines, this class has more boats than any other nuclear powered submarine class in the world. The class was preceded by the Sturgeon class and followed by the Seawolf class and Virginia classes. Submarines of this class are usually named after U.S. cities, breaking a long-standing Navy tradition of naming attack submarines after sea creatures.

The final 23 boats in the series, referred to as “688i” boats, are quieter than their predecessors and incorporate a more advanced combat system. These 688i boats are also designed for under-ice operations: their diving planes are on the bow rather than on the sail, and they have reinforced sails.
