My first thought was, "Poor Old Girl!" Hope they get her ship-shape and out to sea again, soon. Or is something like this a total loss? (I know little about ships.)

Nice pix, though. Thanks for posting. One of the most exciting things I've ever seen was when we were out Whale Watching (on a rather large boat) in San Diego Bay and a Navy sub surfaced about 100 feet away from us. Seeing that up close was so awesome, and was even more impressive than all of the whales we saw that day though the Whale Salad Sammiches we had for lunch were quite tasty! (Oh, just kiddin'!) :)

Someone on the other thread said they were slowly retiring this class of Submarine and suggested they just move this one up on the list. It makes sense to just part it out for some others still in service, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they did.
