There is no smell like ‘boat’. It gets in your clothes, hair, skin. Takes a bit to go away after a deployment. Good days on the 667 Bergall.
SSBN 643 USS George Bancroft, here. Lots of memories. Had a friend when we were non qual pukes grease gunned during the scavenger hunt on halfway night. He almost deserved it😂. ( I suspect about him, but the NIS didn’t, that he murdered my girlfriend while I was on leave, because while he was away at school, we became boyfriend/girlfriend). As a non qual, I had to pull the cherry out of an engineman’s fat belly navel to find out where I had to go next on the scavenger hunt. Great incentive to get qualified and dolphins pinned on.
