Laurenmarlowe, I remember the Submarine Base, Groton and New London well! ;-)

Coming up from 50 feet with no breathing apparatus is my most fond memory because I did not think that it was possible but I was young and stupid. ;-)

In 1962 I think they had told us to grab your nose and ‘package’ with the theory being that it would keep one straight on the free ascent.

Guess it was safer than crossing the street with all the swimmers and escape hatches in the tank.
