The USS Dolphin was still around and being used for research during my tour. So technically, the Nav didn't have any "combat" diesel boats.

Ok, now I know what breakers you are referring too.

On my first boat (a Sturgeon class), the pumps were MCP.

On my second boat (a LA class), it was RCP. And God help you if you called them MCP's... the RC-Div chief had no sense of humor or anything.

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

Guess I just gave myself away. ;)
RC-Div, on Sturgeon-class boats. First boat was the old Seawolf. Last boat was the R.B. Russell (submarine, not the new-fangled destroyer). My last sea-going tour was on the tender (Dixon) just as the LA Boats were coming off the ways.


And you wanna talk about 'having one of those days..?' Heh - We could tell stories no one else in here would ever believe - and would be only half as harrowing as what really happened! Twisted


Edit:
Speaking of which - the final compile is done, and I'm headed home. P

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

As you may remember....

Any good sea story starts with.... "you ain't goin believe this sh*t"

Edit:

Bonus points if you have a smoke hanging out of your mouth, a coffee cup in one hand, and the next smoke in your free hand....

Edit to the edit.....


On the USS New York CIty (SSN 696), we had an ET2/SS RC-Div guy that could tell you the same 6 - 8 stories 10 different ways in a 6 month WesPac, and you would swear each story was different.

Yup. Or "This is a no-sh*ter."

... and a rag hanging out of your back pocket for cleaning up spills.
Yup.

Ah. An artist. Every crew has one or two like that. It's great when two such artists get together to tell the same story at the same time. Great... And surreal. Especially if you were present at the event being discussed. Makes you question your own sanity... <.<

He was a true artist among artists in the art form that is the sea story. I haven't met anyone remotely close to him

Finally figured it out about a month before we pulled into Pearl. Stood almost every watch and duty day with him for the whole deployment.
