Nah.....never served on a sub, I was in the air. But air crews and Bubbleheads had somethings in common; Working in a tube in a hostile environment; flying us all the time and keeping the Bubbleheads out to sea for long periods made the Navy ‘shiver its timbers’ when they finally had to grant liberty.
Good evening, ms b...((HUGS))...long day, nose to the grindstone, but a successful end. Gotta leave shortly for a haircut. Hope you got a lot of rest.

Evening Schatzi, Smooch.
How was going back to work?
Were you sleep deprived.
Like space, we stuck our heads out of the hole, and then the eco-terrorists forced us to pull them back in!
Evening Sandy.

Thank you for your service Citizen Tom Paine!
Good evening dear Lauren! *Hugs*
Did some post-decommissioning work on her for the museum.
I can understand the nautical-nostalgia, but (like the 575 and Halibut) when she was finally shutdown, she was several years past her due date.
I’m glad she’s now a museum site.
