Submarines

[Tony Tee]

I watched a YouTube video. And found it interesting that the United States has a total of 68 submarines. While Canada has 4 submarines and Mexico has none. I wonder if this one has a hemi?

Mexico has submarines, they’re just used to smuggle drugs and people into America, so they can’t discuss them

When were you in service? I can only imagine the incredible intensity when you were pinged or even you pinging another. Submariners fascinate me. There is a really great movie with Gerard Butler as the commander during the cold war era. I wish I could recall the name - it was so intense I’d love to watch it again.

I was in the 'Force' and sure didn't get to sit in very many chairs. Only time I got to sit a lot was when I cross trained from 'cops' to transportation. Kinda hard to drive standing up.....

Probably not any easier to fly standing up either.

Isn't that the truth! I was surprised the amount of bubble heads on this site after we had a thread about Veterans.

1982-1984 Schools (BEE, EM "A", Nuke school (Orlando, now gone) & Prototype (S3G, NY) 83-84)
84-88 USS Skipjack out of Groton

We did "ops" with a 688 (brand new boat at the time) 1 yr, they left Groton an hr before us, we had steel nose, so we "went on the step" and beat them to the canyon, "shot" them, squadron & fleet WERE NOT HAPPY to say the least, WE LOVED IT!!

Hammerhead, LUXURY LINER!!!
