Elbows on the table...two handed grip on the food...

Who cares about his lack of proper table etiquette when the SOB is selling us out to the Russians.

We had a SOSUS net that ran from the North Cape of Norway to Bear Island in the Arctic.

As soon as the Soviets left their bases on the Kola Peninsula, we could hear them.

Except for K-172, when it took up a firing position off Israel to launch its eight SS-N-3 nuclear missiles in the event the Israelis occupied or nuked Damascus.

It was after that that the Israelis adopted the reccomendations of Project Daniel around 2003.

Thanks for collecting and posting all those good links.

Cool, submarine sailed in the Gulf and a bear defecated in a wood.

Submarines are doing it all the time, that is why they are made. I don’t think it is a big deal if one wasn’t tracked because detection abilities of SOSUS are great but not absolute for sure. Submarine is a pretty tiny thing in comparison to Atlantic.

I bet that Russian sub had centerfold pin-ups taped to the head doors.
