Shark? I never worked on a single Skipjack class boat. I think the Atlantic fleet hogged them all. In’81 you must have been riding a Sturgeon Class? Or were you on a brand new LA Class? I worked on every Sturgeon that was based in the Pacific. We did bunches of sonar upgrades, Queenfish comes to mind, and it was fun to watch the crews fine tune the new stuff whenever they took me hostage for a trial.

Nope, just a one lung Hughes-class frigate. We were the test bed for a number of nice bits of kit.
