The Navy never did like it that subs were lone wolves.

Interesting. We never did like to be restricted to a carrier groups. Much preferred to be a "lone wolf" out prowling and protecting as needed.

Me too...I actually liked going to sea. Life was simple, (well so was I..LOL), Now if I had been married at the time I'm sure I would have felt different about it. No O2 Gen so 60 days out and then back in for a few weeks. We averaged about 250 days at sea per year. Never did do an overhaul but I did do new construction on her.
