Well not sure it's name, but its an Los Angeles class....probably one without VLS (Verticle Launch System) tubes. Those ones usually have the diving planes on the sail as we see here. The 688i boats generally have them on the bow. So its one of the older boats, just not sure on the name.
Yeah, really ..... lucky bastard for getting to Pearl. I did two full tours on both coasts and never got there. That's one of the older 688 class boats. Toured the Dallas when in sub school in the early 80's but, never was stationed on one.
Thanks for the reply, actually that was taken from by back door when I lived on the river in groton, the city in the background is New London. It was an incredible place to live, sub's passed by almost daily - just an incredible site!
LOL - My wife and I LOVE pauls! That video was actually taken from our back door when we lived on thames st. Just a hop and a skip from Pauls, It was 1 house over from Puffins. We loved living there until winter came, turned out that the apartment wasnt up to code and we totally FROZE! My wife ended up getting really sick after the pipes froze one day and we lost heat. Still, couldnt beat that view!
my fiance's base is in Groton,CT. I remember watching his sub prepare for deployment. He's on deployment now till august. Thanks for posting the vid. it made my day. =)
Wow..great memories. I cant count how many times I have made that trip down the river. I must admit the trip you show is the Return trip. Much more fun. When we saw the I-95 bridge, we knew we were home! Thanks for the post!
They will lower their scopes before going under the RR bridge. Plus they don't need them this far up the river. They just have to stay between the buoys.
Huh? Where are the scopes - are the Quartergaskets, oh sorry they are ETs now, are the Nav ETs not doing any visual navigation? Guess it's all by the DGPS now. My how things have changed in less than ten years..
Damn...I wish I lived in an apartment where I could see stuff like this all the time!
Very cool! :)

Glad you're a civilian shooting that, I know any sailor caught with pictures or anything from the lower base caught serious heat.

Nice; how far away are you from Paul's Pasta? First look I thought the video was taken from their patio.

The railroad bridge must be raised. The sub will not fit under. I live in this area, see it all the time

Thats entirely not true. a boat will fit under the RR bridge as long as all masts and antennas are lowered. Went under many many times.

Good camera work. Has the essense of coastal sights and sounds in port New London, Connecticut. Great backstory potential for a movie, too.

My father works for General Dynamics and I've only seen 2 submarine launches but I can't remember the names.
