Hey you Sub sailers are the best. I made many parts for them in my 26 years at Newport News Ship. I worked everything from the HOV system to Main sea water valves. Lots of fun and demanding, very close tollerances. And dont forget the TDU... Dave
Arr - there's nothing like riding on top at a full bell on the surface! As an ex-nuke, I really appreciated this one. This was a VIP cruise, just trying to impress them VIP's, I think.
cool video. brings back memories, although as a nuke ET I did not get to visit the conning tower too often. Once in South China Sea and Gulf of Vietnam. That is also how we exited the boat in the arctic. 637 class.
Never thought I'd every say that I would miss it.... but yea, I kinda do! Ok well maybe for 1 last patrol... SSBN 627 (B) and SSN 646

My old boat as well. Spent many watches on the bridge drivings her to/from Groton. Those were fun times.

This is nothing compared to actually being up there in the sail and now being able to see land in any direction.
