I’m not in the service or anything I just think subs are awesome. Thinking about maybe getting an Oscar or typhoon tatted, anyone have any tattoos like this I’d love to see them for ideas. Trying to decide what perspective I should go for (bow on, broadside shot, maybe a landscape.) Anyways thanks in advance

I am NOT in the service nor do I plan to be in (6’1) (like girls more)

Back when I was stationed at NBK Bangor a few years ago, there was a local brewery called Smitty's Brewing. They had a beer called Sub Diesel, it was an imperial stout. I just remembered it, and now i want some...problem is im now down in New Orleans.

I dont think the website is up anymore, but does anyone up there know if they're still brewing and how i can get in contact to get some shipped down my way?

Got this at the 100th birthday of submarines. They really didn't fit the sticker on well.

Hi all,

The other evening I was given an access almost all areas tour of a UK Trafalgar Class sub. The captain guided us from from front to back from top to bottom. It was amazing for someone with an interest in submarines.

It was also rusty as hell and was really showing it's age.

During the tour the captain said that Russian sonar was better than the British one. My understanding is that this particular boat had the latest Thales system.

So, the question is, how does a submarine or a state itself discover the acoustic capabilities of an adversary's sonar? Outside of stealing technical specification is there some 'at sea' methods used? I appreciate there may be some secret methods but maybe not?

I am all set for a month.

What are some superstitions you've heard of or experienced aboard a submarine? Anything from 'back in world war II' to recent stories would be fascinating! Thanks!

I’m looking for a boat for my fish tank. Everything I find is either toy looking or something sunken (don’t want that bad juju) Anyone run into one?

If a very large underwater explosion occurred < 2 miles from a submarine, how loud would it be over sonar? Loud enough to damage the operator's hearing?
