Done.

ohh that picture brings back memories *L*. They have a Urinal on the wall donated from the Shark SSN-591 when we decommed her.

[lepton]

Wow. Between 66 and 71 things were really hectic.

[antisocial]

Please put me on your ping list.

[WSGilcrest]

Add me to your ping list, please.

[Doohickey]

Will do.

[Doohickey]

Okay!

[DBeers]

Okay, who wants on the Steely-eyed killers of the deep ping list?

Add me...

P.S. I can imagine hearing the MC now after they pull in -SUBPAC arriving... etcetera etcetera arriving :)

I once ran, literally, out of a sub that was not submerged. I was just taking a tour and became so claustrophobic that I couldn't stand it. If the people in front of me hadn't gotten out of my way I would have treated them like bowling pins. The man conducting the tour me told me I would never had made it as a submariner. Ha! I was breathing like I'd run a mile at high altitude and sweating like a pig. To this day I can't take a closed MRI. Brave men in those subs.

[Doohickey]

Gotcha

[Doohickey]

Yeah, but it'll be the "Men in Black" (NRRO) that'll have everyone scared the most :)

[deaconjim]

Pinglist me, please.

[deaconjim]

Sorry, HipShot, wrong number. Doohickey, please add me to the pinglist as well.

Excerpt:

CNN) -- U.S. Coast Guard and military aircraft Saturday are en route to the western Pacific, where a nuclear attack submarine ran aground, injuring at least 20 crew members -- one critically, U.S. Navy sources said.

The USS San Francisco ran aground some 350 miles south of Guam -- the nearest land mass -- while it was conducting submerged operations. It has since resurfaced and is heading back to Guam, according to the USPF's news release

The first time I toured Husband's sub (USS Toledo 769) I was going up the ladder to the hatch. Husband stopped me and told me that if they had to evac, they would close the hatch below and this is where they would wait to exit the sub...I panicked thinking of being trapped between those two hatches.

Add me, too.

Skimmer navy---CV 60.

Submarines have been known to find uncharted submarine mountains.

During one of my husband's first underways they hit something unchartered. Scared everyone to death, including me, because the message I got was that there was a problem but that "no one died". Had to wait almost a full 24 hours until the meeting.

I'm pretty sure the CO was around for another couple of years.

The best MARINE is a SUBMARINE!

[deaconjim]

The most effective cure for claustrophia is a 3 month underway. Once the hatch goes shut, treatment begins.

Absolutely
