The deck logs from that were required reading before we did our transit.

It was a wake-up going there from the boat I came from.

I loved the 579. I tolerated the 712...LOL

The grounding of the USS Guardfish SSN 612 in 1967 are still manditory reading for QM's and skippers. She missed the buoy at Pearl by 150 yards on Christmas Eve and spent 3 days hung up on the reef sucking coral sand up into her main condensors at a 30 degree angle. Funny thing is she had all navigational equipment operational. We followed her in later that day after 60 days out with ½ our nav systems taking an unauthorized vaction and the other ½ not being cooperative. We waved as we went past.
