Thanks Blakey. Seems I qualify for a NATO SSM, if I have read all that bumf right. Something to go with my lonely CD.

In the 1930's it was a British battleship. That story is a lot older than most of us.

Tis better to laugh than cry, SeakingTacco. I love watching JAG when I need a good laugh. Of course, my favourite comedy of all  has to be The Hunt For Red October. Watching a 30,000 ton boomer accelerate like a sports car and out turn a torpedo cracks me up every time.  Wouldn't your life be a...

Back in '87. I was one of the very first in Halifax to go for the issue of the blues. No one had a clue about what was supposed to be issued or dress regs for the new uniform. Stores only had bits and pieces of kit. They didn't know where to put the dolphins so the seamstress decided to put it...

I never got to wear the blues. I had my release papers in my hand when they sent me up to get issued. My name was on the list, I was going to get the issue, release or not. I was one of the first in Halifax so they didn't have much to issue and weren't exactly sure who got what. Normal...

Truly amazing how those movie subs always find a nice flat sandy firm seabed to sit down on. Never seem to get rocks or mud in the ballast tanks or hull valves. Never damage their planes or screws. Just amazing.

Fun reads, but the thing to remember about Clancy is he got his start when the United States Naval Institute Press published The Hunt for Red October. Since the chief editor of the USNI Press is a serving USN admiral, that means the book was published by the Submarine branch of the USN.

Navy stoker with 12 years. Out in 88.

50 year old wooden boats and MARS students? Did the stokers get hazardous duty pay?

The entire article is utter nonsense. A little research on the web and that reporter would not have dared to write that garbage. To put the information publically available in perspective: 1. If the hatch to the   battery compartment (which is under 2 deck)   was open you would not be getting a...

One story says the medal was not mentioned in the will, so the law says it must be sold at fair market value to settle the estate.

Thanks for the welcome to the board, Whiskey 601. Slightly off topic, are the Rules of Engagment for Somalia or the UN missions available? There was a lot of talk about them, but I have never actually seen them.

I used to wear flat dolphins. There are not that many of us. CANSUBRONONE never had more than 200 bodies at a time, if that many. (I refuse to count the commissioned types that rotated through the wardroom cause sporting a set of dolphins was fashionable. I mopped up more salt water from a...
