Thank you for the nickel tour. It certainly reveals how well the designers stayed with the New England theme while maintaining a sense of elegance. Looking forward to the launch of the tour.

You are welcome, happy to have done it.
It was not as bad as being on the surface, but a submarine is round ans very little roll resistance due to it hull shape. Add to that the sail acting like a big push-pull handle on top of the cylinder, with no corresponding handle on the bottom. The other factor is the actual effect that a wave has on the water, which is a rolling motion. On missile boats the flat superstructure can be affected by a wave traveling the length of the sub creating a suction, moving the sub up.
Sometimes it was worse the deeper that we went because of the wave action.
We stayed submerged for 74 days on one trip. Usually it was about 60 days, I am not sure what the patrol cycle is for the newer missile boats.
The launch code process is very secure, don't believe everything that you see in movies.
No hairy experiences, just calm cool 4-6 knot patrolling.

Did I mention that the Navy does psyche screening on submarine volunteers, if they find that you are sane they do not allow you on board submarines. What does that tell you?

Looks like the lemmings are winning the vote on the banner.

Romantic, how romantic. Bottle of champagne, dark chocolate, strawberries and your bff on the deck watching the sunset with Hawaiian slack key music softly in the background.

I'll make it 3. I was the first on this thread and that is how I voted and I was amazed that there we're already a bunch of votes. So a lot of voters don't blog, that is their loss.

I think that we all agree. There is plenty of room on the kitchen end of the house for a driveway, carport or garage.
