I've had the extreme pleasure to visit an active SSBN (our dear SNLE!), these are such incredible machines. I wish I could have spent more time inside and/or kept a photo souvenir !

I had the pleasure of sleeping aboard the USS Pampanito, a WWII submarine for the United States Navy, when I was a child. We, children, had to stand watch, sleep in the bunks, and run drills. No torpedoes were fired, and the submarine in reality stayed do...

Thanks Cazalea. I love submarines. Sat in a mini submarine as a kid, when on a trip to Hawaii. I saw many large turtles underwater. I think they were leatherback turtles.
