I went on a sub ONCE! Made sure all the ropes were tied to the dock too!! Actually, my father in law was a submariner, I went to the boat one afternoon while he had watch duty and had dinner with the crew. Got a good tour of everything and then realized I had more people in my Division on the carrier than what they had to run the entire sub, plus we had real fresh air and running water ~ that was on an old diesel boat.
He started out in Washington state, then down to Diego and eventually over to Connecticut and retired out. After retirement, Bill worked for EB there in Groton up in the 'retrofit' department ~ he was the only person to have ever served on diesel boats and knew how much room there wasn't for installing new equipment. Best experience I ever had was when I took him down to the Submariner's Memorial there in Groton ~ all the subs and names of the crews lost during the early wars. Was moving watching him and listening to the stories.
BTW, my father in law was William (Bill) 'Pappy' Signs, Torpedoman 1st Class
How many have experienced the wonders of "Angles & Dangles"" on a submarine??? going fast, fast turns, deep dives and quick ascents??? And seeing things that are suppose to be bolted down come loose!!!!!!
Apparently I'm late to this party.
