Good old EB. Back in the day we called our green duct tape “EB Green”. They built the boat I was on. SSBN 640. I’d like to walk through the engineering spaces when the first one is done but that’s about it. Is it a boomer or attack boat. Boomers had torpedo tubes in my days. Get rid of the birds then hunt something to shoot. Just another longer slow attack boat. If you could live long enough. Steaming in Rota Spain wasn’t much of a treat either but it beat Nam.

My youngest graduated as a Nuclear Machinists Mate in Charleston last year. After prototype school and ELT training he got assigned to his first boat. His new Home port... Joint Base Pearl.. I now have a reason to visit Hawaii. His next goal is Dolphins by July. Another 12 hrs of advanced chemistry and he will have a BS in Nuclear Chemistry. He’s thinking about a mustang track.
