Howdy!
So, there's this phenomenal nuclear submarine that has been designed and built by the United Kingdom. It cost a boatloaaaaaaaad of money (pun absolutely intended).
Go here. Watch the video. You can watch until you feel informed. You don't have to watch it all, but you're welcome to. Again, thanks to Kyle H. for the pickup.

Will post directives on Wednesday.
Wednesday edit: Give me one FACT from this video that surprised you. Please note, today is not an opinion day.

I was honestly surprised that the submarine took all of 20 years to make. It's interesting how they'd have to predict the technological landscape 2 decades from the time of starting the project.
Culpepper, 1st Period
I was surprised that the nuclear reactor in the submarine will last 25 years and never need refueling.
-Barrios, 1st period
I was surprised about how it took more than a thousand people to build this amazing submarine. You would think one mastermind could potentially put a piece like this together but no, it took thousands of intellectuals to complete this amazing invention.
Heyn, 1st period
The fact that caught my eye was it took 5000 people to build it.
Clifton 1st
The Submarine took 14 years to design and build and it cost around £1 billion ($1.6 billion) overall. Crazy.
Eason, 1st. :D
It surprised me that it had been 10 years since the UK had built a submarine
-Irwin, 2nd
what surprised me about this video is the fact that the submarine has a nuclear reactor
-tORRES PER2
Something that surprised me is that the nuclear reactor can work for like 25 years & never needs to be refueled, I've never heard of something that can go so long without being refueled.
Laronda Steadham, 2nd Period
It cost the UK one billion pounds and required over 15 years of hard work to get this world class sub up and running, all these huge numbers caught me off guard.
Slide, 2nd period
What really caught me by surprise was the fact that it took like thousands of people to create the submarine for more than 20 years.
When I thought it would take like 5 years and 50 people at the most.
Delagarza, 2nd Period.
what really surprised me was the fact that it took so long to make the submarine. I was very interested in how well put together it was and how all the technology was incorporated into the submarine.
Johnson, 2nd
It cost the UK one billion pounds and required over 14* years of hard work to get this world class sub up and running, all these huge numbers caught me off guard.
Slide, 2nd period
I honestly think everything surprised me about that video about how many years it took it design and build it. How it took thousands of people to help build it. How they had to put it on piece by piece. The video was pretty cool to watch and to learn about how they built it.
Jones 2nd period
The fact that surprised me the most was right when they finished it the next day they had work. Like nothing happened there the day before that wasn't like a big deal. I was also surprised the submarine took 14 years to make and design.
Hill 2nd period
This submarine was 330 feet long!!!!!
~lopez, 2nd period
the command deck module by its self weighs 180 tons!!!
Conner Covington
2nd period
I was very surprised when they said the submarine would run for 25 years and not need fuel. Also I couldn't believe when they explained how long it took to build and create this machine which took all of 20 years.
walker taylor 7th period
I was surprised that it took 14 freakin years to build this.
-Zach
One fact that surprised me from this video was the fact that the nuclear reactor on the submarine will last 25 years without the need of refueling.
Your Favorite Mexican, 7th Pd. (~^_^)
I was surprised about the nuclear submarine an how many people it took just fix the hole submarine. cisco
what caught me was that it took about 5000 people or more to do it and about 2 decades to build it and cost nearly or about 1.5 billion dollars.
Ibanez, 7th period
I took 14 years to get the thing ready. Like dang.
-SWalker 7th
I was surprised when the man said that it is the quietest submarine in the world.
-Wright, 7th
This submarine is 100 meters long and costs more than one billion pounds.
venegas, 7th period
The weight of this submarine is just ridiculous! Who in the world would have thought something the size of New Zealand would weigh 7000 tons?
Macon-7th
I was surprised when I see how it took a thousands of people help to build submarine and the fact that took all of 20 years to make it and design it. I really enjoy watched the video though. Because it shows me how they built it.
wah,7th period
the submarine will have make its own air its own water and carry its own food will being a fighting machine for a 3 month period.
Cano 7th pd
The thing that surprised me was that the idea of never having to refuel the submarine for 25 years.
-Roland G
7th Period
What surprised me is that the the site where the submarines are being built takes up 169 ACRES. Also, that there are a million components the workers had to build in 4 years.
Garcia, 7th
It surprised me that they are four years late on delivering the subs.
Taylor 8th
I'm surprised that that they are just now having this kind of technology introduced to the world. And that it took 5000 people to build it and half of them are just apprentices.
T-Dawg 8th
One fact that surprised me was that the outside hull was made out of a special rubber to block enemy sonar rays.
D'Andre 8th period
they were not at liberty to discuss the details of the nuclear reactor due to national security reasons
we should say that more often
Ben Blough 8th
One fact that surprised me from the video about the submarines was that the final product was finished about 4 years later than it was supposed to be.
Cold 8th
one thing that really surprised me is how many parts there were to the submarine and how big one part of the submarine is.
Sweat 8th period
The fact that the British are actually pretending that a super-high-tech submarine is necessary for the defense of their nation is surprising. Who wants to attack Britain? Nobody, that's who.
Kwiatkowski, Eighth
That the town is made up of familys which generations of people who have only made submarines.
And that the first sub is FOUR YEARS behind scheduele.
carrasco 8th hr
I was surprised that it takes more than a decade to plan and create a submarine of that caliber.
Gipson, 8th Period
The fact that it weighed 7,000 "tonnes." I thought it was more, but still, that's a pretty heavy metal tube.
Cuba -8th
the most interesting fact that surprise me was that the nuclear reactor on the submarine will last 25 years without the need of refueling. wow
-Castro (~^_^~.) 8th
It took 14 years to design and build and costing around $1.6bn dollars
Ikner,Tye
-8th prd
Why do people always call machines by female pronouns I don't understand. Who looks at a car and goes "WOWEE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MACHINE LET'S CALL HER BEATRICE!"
Anyways!
The fact that the submarine cost more than a billion pounds (which is closer to 2 billion US dollars I'm fairly sure) is utterly shocking. I just... That's ridiculous.
-LABBIT, 8TH :]
