Cool looking boat. I’ve always admired those who can serve on Subs.

I guess they've made a few improvements since I retired from the Submarine Force in 1990.

Back then if you wanted to find a Virginia Class attack submarine, you had to listen for the quiet spot in the ocean where the sub was blocking the background biologic sounds.....they were that quiet!
