My bro was on the George C Marshall back in the 70’s. Don’t know how they do it.

[huldah1776]

I’m sure they stay in international waters, so it’s all good.

During a tour of the Carl Vinson I asked for a visit of the reactor. I was told that I’d not return.

That's because the Navy is a bit more advanced than most people realize.

Yet Hillary is allowed to have an entire computer filled with Classified data.

Sickening.

[huldah1776]

you know whatever she had, they all have. Might as well call her hillary snowden.

Active Duty ping.

My home 1951-52. Same horsepower, I think.

As a former qualified bubblehead, I served on two fleet ballistic missile subs, I can tell you that although all members of the crew require clearances that not everything in the people tank is classified. So, the guy must have had pictures of classified equipment or pictures that disclosed classified capabilities of the submarine e.g. indicators & gauges... As far as outside the people tank, the screw (prop) blade configuration is classified...

I had a guy who worked for me about 20 years ago who had been a reactor officer on 688 boats. Similar, there wasn’t much he could talk about.

[Mark17]

I took s tour of the Vinson once too. They showed us about where it was, but that is about all. They had some pretty good food too. The guy that took us on the tour, was the supervisor, responsible for all electronic maintenance on the carrier. He told me he always made sure the satellite TV worked perfectly.

In the late 1970’s if you stood at D&S piers at NORVA and snapped a picture of a sub your camera was taken. Then you got the pleasure of explaining it to your own C.O. Actually to have a camera on a carrier we were supposed to have it registered with the MAA’s. Yeah I know. Camera control. LOL. It wasn’t strictly enforced though. I got a lot of Vultures Row Super8 footage.

[DBeers]

I remember camera control... Back in the day, when we had wooden ships and iron men there was no cell phones or email. We were quite limited, no personal communications out and very limited, reviewed, and censored personal communication in. Out of 6YO I spent about 4 years on the boats, 2-1/2 years of it submerged. LOL.

[DBeers]

P.S. As I am sure you are aware, MMs are not rocket scientists, we ETs ‘lovingly’ referred to them, including the nuke types, as knuckle draggers...

[cva66snipe]

LOL I had an apartment with a Deck Ape buddy who graduated from IBM School. He had went to Gunners Mate A school and changed ratings. Why I have no idea. Oh I knew all the ET's on my ship I saw them just about daily. They called the shop at least once a watch about high temps. Twidgets I think was what we called them.

The two most dangerous things in the Navy? A Nuke with a Crescent Wrench and an Ensign with an idea LOL. Our spaces were camera limited for the same ones yours were. I think it had something to do with the Jarines and GMT weapons cache below decks in spaces you could not enter anyway. Our spaces were also classified Confidential and required a security badge. But that was to keep the MAA's and Airedales out LOL.

WE had a few Bubbleheads, believe it or not a Torpedeoman, and some guys who didn't make it through Nuke Prop school. One was a moron we called Mongo. Genius IQ but no common sense and dangerously impulsive. The other one I think was more than capable of passing the school but changed his mind.After he got out he was a Math professor. A childhood friend I knew up through high school became the Interior Communications Instructor at the Prototype in Idaho in the early 1980's. He was a Bubblehead.

Seriously though as for the article a MM1 knows better than to do a breech like that. I admit though after I got out about 15 years afterward I was seeing scenes in movies on TV of ships spaces I was not allowed into except in the yards. The ships or the classes were still in commission also.

One of my favorite movies is Gray Lady Down :>}

[mad_as_he$$]

My son was Tier 1 SpecOps. New people trying to make small talk with him is painful and sometimes funny. A ten yo kid once asked him which helo he preferred. He said” That's classified.”(with a smile) The kid said “Single rotor or two rotors?”

[subvet73]

Served on board the USS Greenfish (SS351)in the early 70’s. DBF!!!

[SunkenCiv]

It's okay, he's probably working for those freedom fighters at Wikileaks.

[GOPJ]

It was the camera's fault!

You're right.

If all Americans gave up their cell phones pictures of secret submarines wouldn't exist... Maybe the folks in Chicago can draw up the law... they're practiced at this type of thing./s
