I have so much admiration for the people who man the subs. I even read most of the thread tonight and it was very interesting. I went in a sub in Mobile once and being claustophobic, it was hard for me to go through it. I think every person who ever went down in one should have the highest medal available.

Oh no. Such accolades would be coming from those outside their community. The attaboys that really count are from those who've been there, even for a little taste of it. Often they reflect the graveyard humour found in that business where the practicioners have to drill and practice for every possible emergency and failure, and are thereby particularly sensitive to the many faults their chosen profession offers.

Sometimes the most sincere tributes are those from their fellow submariners in other services, ones that once were or someday might be enemies. But they too know.
