The 637 stretch-hulls (678-687 minus the 685) were sweeeet. "Give me heaven, or a 637" was the operative phrase when I was in. I qualified on Scamp, a Skipjack class, so those hotrods will always have a special place in my heart. But for crew comfort, the 637s had all over any other fast attack class IMHO. I'm not counting boomers because that's an entirely different experience; I have nothing against the boomer guys though - I are one, with 4 patrols on the 629B.

Were you in CSS-4? We had Scamp and Shark in Charleston when I was there. Not to mention Bonefish, the sole remaining LANTFLT diesel boat at the time.
