Then P-3 Orion ASW aircraft flying out of Bermuda....

They also took off from NAF Lajes.

The USS Memphis (SSN 691)...wow! Did you ever go to the Ice Cap and if so did your rank or rating allow you to look outside? I'll understand if that is only something the Boomers do.

No, unfortunately. Arctic cruises were/are not that often. I also served on USS Francis Scott Key (SSBN 657).

Here is a picture of USS Honolulu (SSN-718) surfacing in the Arctic.
