Still off the mark.
I ain’t Navy, much less a submariner.
My respect to those who are.
I spent my 6 years in the National Guard (71-77).
My dad was a Merchant Mariner in “the big war”.
There is an aircraft carrier named after a distant relative.
(CVN 70)
I tried to join the Navy twice in 1969-1970...
...both times they wanted to put me on submarines...
...both times I walked away from the offer.
I just could not see myself doing that.
Too damn claustrophobic...
My respect to both of you.
