[crusty old prospector]

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.

[Ikeon]

My DD214 includes "SS" on it. I can assure you I would not get on any vessel that purposely sinks that isn't crewed by others with the "SS" designation.

Subs ain't bass trackers you can walk off of wearing a life vest, and a life vest is worthless inside a sub.
