My BIL was 3rd in command. Phenomenal experience, but the tight quarters made me almost be happy about being a grunt.

I'm sure they do. Being a petit guy myself, 6'3" 240, the sub felt a little cramped. I took the ASVAB for the Navy, Dad was a SeaBee, but opted for a roomy canvass shelter in the rain. You guys deserve credit for being aboard those incredible machines for extended periods.

SSN 650, 723, 761 and 767. 650 was the best of the bunch...or at least, my favorite. 2X missions to the Arctic, with surfacings and going walkabout and lots of other fun sh!t. 650 was so old that we had M14's in the gun locker and that was in the 90's!

My wife and I attended the Tall Ship festival in Galveston this year.
While there we visited Galveston Naval Museum at Seawolf Park and toured
the USS Stewart (DE-238) and the submarine display, the USS Cavalla (SS-244).

I would would be thrilled take the little boy to sea - skipper of a man of war, even
on that small would be a trip!

But the sub?
I don't think so.
I don't have the huevos for it.
Respect to those who can.
