I like the way it started, because most if the rest of it was about sub-Marines.

Good flic tho. I appreciate it.

Before the beginning, God created a squid!

He also gave us the lowly "poopy suit"

And the rubber masks that provided air when blind, and the glorious non skid was found.

The Submariner was a pretty intense comic book character in the 1940’s.

Thanks! My bro was on the George C Marshall many moons ago. Shared it with him.

Who in their right mind would want to go down on a big black tube filled with seamen?

It is true for both aviators and submariners: Your landing (submergence) and takeoff (surfacing) numbers should always come out equal. If not, you have a very BIG problem.

There was a time when it bothered me to go to sea in a ship that was purposely designed to sink as part of its very being. For most folks, this appears like a very unnatural act.

I can highly recommend Ron Martini’s page of submariner humor, called “The Golden Rivet” - enjoy!

My son has returned from what he called a “pesky deployment.” It started off well enough with a stop in Norway. They had to make an unplanned stop at the Rock of Gibralter, though, because “something broke.” The wrong replacement part was sent, so waiting for the correct replacement part put them behind schedule, and they had to change their plans. Several incidents in the Mideast resulted in other schedule changes. My son said a week did not go by without a change in the schedule. At one point they were underway over 70 straight days, and they made only two short stops the remainder of the deployment, at Diego Garcia and Greece. This link takes you to a description of the return -
