Keeping the blogosphere posted on the goings on of the world of submarines since late 2004... and mocking and belittling general foolishness wherever it may be found. Idaho's first and foremost submarine blog. (If you don't like something on this blog, please E-mail me; don't call me at home.)
I'm Joel Kennedy -- a married, 50-something year old retired submarine officer and esophageal cancer survivor with three kids who has finally made the transition to civilian life.

711 is still in a precarious state. Without air she'd flood, roll to port and go under. A metal cofferdam is being welded to her fwd of the sail to allow the weapons to be offloaded, but that will give her only 14 inches at the bow and she's way down. DD at Guam is in her immediate future, with a long, slow trip back to Puget with mbt's welded shut for possible decomm afterwards. They've got a bow they could graft on but not with superstructure wrinkled, and there are three distinct wrinkles.
