I love the part when, after chasing a Soviet SSBN for 3 weeks and finally the ship gets relieved on station, the needle guns start up. “Relax from quiet ship” means make enough noise to raise the dead. No real sleep for weeks and some deck ape is firing up a needle gun 10 feet from you.

“Relax from quiet ship”

You may now float the #2 diesel in your coffee.

LOL, the “needle guns”...

I suppose that as bad or worse than the ‘dink dink dink dink’ of the chipping hammers! I never had to use them (being an airedale) but I heard them!

“The bells...the bells...”

When he had time off my son just wanted to sleep. And is in no way lazy like his pop.
