"I was wondering about that. My friend who was in sub service- nice guy, but about all he can take of me is about twenty minutes a week- and it's been decades since he was locked up in one of those tin cans with a bunch of other guys.."
LOL
" ... about all he can take of me is about twenty minutes a week ..."
Are you sure it is not you?
:-)
I read this and just had to rib you.
I think that your friend and myself, have together heard every possible conversation that men could ever have together, a thousand times. [or so it does seem to us]. LOL
"I think the ladies do have a little more to offer, and are much prettier to look at."
I do prefer such as well. They are much more cushiony too.
Now I'm embarassed.. the last one he was on was named after a dolphin, the name ended with "head".. all I can remember at the moment. It'll pop up in my memory when I least expect it..
No need to be embareassed, a lot of boats have sailed under the oceans.
Did you know that during WWII, our boats numbered less than 10% of our Navy. And that the Submarine Fleet accounted for greater than 90% of all enemy sunk tonnage.
Pretty cool to think that under 10%, did over 90% of all the work!
heh heh heh
To my knowledge there has been:
hammerhead (there have been 2 of these guys),
steelhead,
bullhead,
hardhead,
and loggerhead.

Keep in mind that this list does not show the 'Turtle' -first sub to fire upon a foreign enemy, or any of the 'David' series of boats [of which we only have tin-type photograghs and diary accounts following the destruction of the cities by Northern agressors].
"I am a man, therefore I do not ask directions, even when I am hopelessly lost -- being convinced in my mind I can find the way, without help from any other person."
alas, this was my man: solution
new car with navigational system
not direction crutch, but a gizmo only he's allowed to touch, just like the remote control
I'm quite comfortable in my male-ness, so much so that I do not feel it threatened when it is time to call on the services of a automotive repair specialist. After all, given the choice between spending an afternoon at the opera, at a play or in the park and fixing something that I lack the experience / knowledge is a no-brainer for me.
"Hello Galen. Yep. He was on the USS Hardhead, and then on the James Monroe."
Good boats both of them.
"I'm embarassed, how could I lose a submarine, heh heh."
Dont feel badly, the entire US Navy Surface Fleet [we call them 'Targets'] loses subs all the time. heh heh heh.
As an MP serving in Europe, I have spoken with many Carrier sailors who had no idea that their battle-group was being guarded by a sub, and that while the group was in port partying their sub escort was still circling out in the Med waiting for them.
One time on the George C. Marshall, during an operation with P-3 Orions [they were training themselves on attempting to find subs], We had noise-makers attached to our hull that rattled as we moved; we had to stay within a small 'box' for a week in terribly shallow water, while they flew over us trying to 'find' us.
Eventually we ran on the surface, with our diesel engines running mis-tuned so we could produce a huge column of thick black smoke, we had our Radar going, and when we saw the Orions through our periscopes we radio contacted them and gave them direct visual bearings to our position. Then they 'found' us.
Their Admiral radioed us and chewed out our Captain for not being at the right 'spot', and making a fool of his wonderful wing-nuts. Later of course we proved that we were at the correct place, but I guess the Admiral had to make a show of defending his Orion crews over the radio-waves.
Heh heh heh. If all else fails, try smoke signals, I guess..
Plumes of smoke and they still have a hard time finding the darn thing, heh heh. Plus noise makers, radar- holy cow.
But they wouldn't stop and ask for directions, heh heh. Suprised the pilots weren't outside of the planes, beating around with white canes trying to find you.

"I was wondering about that. My friend who was in sub service- nice guy, but about all he can take of me is about twenty minutes a week- and it's been decades since he was locked up in one of those tin cans with a bunch of other guys.."
LOL
" ... about all he can take of me is about twenty minutes a week ..."
Are you sure it is not you?
:-)
I read this and just had to rib you.
I think that your friend and myself, have together heard every possible conversation that men could ever have together, a thousand times. [or so it does seem to us]. LOL
"I think the ladies do have a little more to offer, and are much prettier to look at."
I do prefer such as well. They are much more cushiony too.
"Makes sense to me, anyway.."
Sure.
P.S. Your freind? What boats?

I don't know why I keep thinking the Hardhead- that was an old puppy. My friend was on one of the first nukes. Around the vietnam era.

No need to be embareassed, a lot of boats have sailed under the oceans.
Did you know that during WWII, our boats numbered less than 10% of our Navy. And that the Submarine Fleet accounted for greater than 90% of all enemy sunk tonnage.
Pretty cool to think that under 10%, did over 90% of all the work!
heh heh heh
To my knowledge there has been:
hammerhead (there have been 2 of these guys),
steelhead,
bullhead,
hardhead,
and loggerhead.
Dont know of any other 'heads' that were submarine names. Here is a partial listing of U.S. boats [starting in 1900]:

Keep in mind that this list does not show the 'Turtle' -first sub to fire upon a foreign enemy, or any of the 'David' series of boats [of which we only have tin-type photograghs and diary accounts following the destruction of the cities by Northern agressors].

Galen,
Is that list a bit long?

I'm sorry, he could not remember the names of what boats his buddy had been on, so I posted a list of some of the U.S. boats.
Did I post too much?
:-)
If I over-stepped proper due-bounds I apologize.

I'm quite comfortable in my male-ness, so much so that I do not feel it threatened when it is time to call on the services of a automotive repair specialist. After all, given the choice between spending an afternoon at the opera, at a play or in the park and fixing something that I lack the experience / knowledge is a no-brainer for me.

Hello Galen. Yep. He was on the USS Hardhead, and then on the James Monroe.
I'm embarassed, how could I lose a submarine, heh heh.

Good boats both of them.
"I'm embarassed, how could I lose a submarine, heh heh."
Dont feel badly, the entire US Navy Surface Fleet [we call them 'Targets'] loses subs all the time. heh heh heh.
As an MP serving in Europe, I have spoken with many Carrier sailors who had no idea that their battle-group was being guarded by a sub, and that while the group was in port partying their sub escort was still circling out in the Med waiting for them.
One time on the George C. Marshall, during an operation with P-3 Orions [they were training themselves on attempting to find subs], We had noise-makers attached to our hull that rattled as we moved; we had to stay within a small 'box' for a week in terribly shallow water, while they flew over us trying to 'find' us.
Eventually we ran on the surface, with our diesel engines running mis-tuned so we could produce a huge column of thick black smoke, we had our Radar going, and when we saw the Orions through our periscopes we radio contacted them and gave them direct visual bearings to our position. Then they 'found' us.
Their Admiral radioed us and chewed out our Captain for not being at the right 'spot', and making a fool of his wonderful wing-nuts. Later of course we proved that we were at the correct place, but I guess the Admiral had to make a show of defending his Orion crews over the radio-waves.

Mr. H - it's not to be embarassed about - it's all in how you look at the situation.
Losing a sub could be embarassing, OR, it could be a sign of life - dead folks don't lose anything...

Heh heh heh. If all else fails, try smoke signals, I guess..
Plumes of smoke and they still have a hard time finding the darn thing, heh heh. Plus noise makers, radar- holy cow.
But they wouldn't stop and ask for directions, heh heh. Suprised the pilots weren't outside of the planes, beating around with white canes trying to find you.

I dunno. As the men folk get older, I think we don't get a heck of a lot smarter, just too tired to keep doing what we do..
