Are there any former Secret Service members that can relate just how difficult under ice stuff like this may truly be?

They were lucky they did not run into each other.
They look to almost crossing over each other.
Bad parking.

I thought it was great parking. Last year, how many of our ships couldn’t navigate a busy shipping lane(which should be a basic requirement). These two parked in formation, nicely done.

A question for our submariner freepers. I’m confused about the number for these subs. Why would a later model sub, the USS Connecticut (SSN 22), have an earlier number than the older sub USS Hartford (SSN 768)?
