Happy Veterans Day

To all my fellow vets. :cheers:

A couple of my old homes, the Yarnell (aka as the Urinal, DLG-17) and the Dogfish (SS-350). Both are scrap iron now. :(

I don't know how submariners do it. Think I would've gone nuts on a sub, no windows, hot bunking, constant threat of depressurization, plus under the waves, the cold war never really ended. Too stressful, I'll take the infantry.

Thinks anybody that would deliberately sink under water is crazy. That's why I joined the paratroopers. :yes:

At the time, sub pay was the most $$ you could make in the Navy. And the Dogfish was a diesel pigboat; as such it cruised on the surface about 80% of the time or snorkled at 35'. Was mainly used for coastal defense. Test depth was about 400', and we very seldom went that deep. Hot bunking sucked for sure, and as did the lack of fresh water and smelling of diesel fuel all the time. But the cruises were usually short, mainly taking Sub School students out, doing a few dives, then returning to port. Once in awhile a Med cruise or something shorter.

 

Pigboats were better than the boomers or fast attacks to me; they were underway/underwater all the time. I thought they sucked worse(er). :yes: We are one of the few world powers that have decomissioned all diesel submarines. Should have kept a few to torpedo the drug dealers...........
