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.)
CDR Salamander posts a new Broadside cartoon each Sunday, and the "new" one (originally published in 2002) is about my favorite subject: submarines!
"Periscope liberty" was always nice, especially for the nukes who'd come into Control after realizing they hadn't seen the sun in over a month.

I'm Joel Kennedy -- a married, 49 year old retired submarine officer and esophageal cancer survivor with three kids who has finally made the transition to civilian life. Politically, I'm a moderate realist. In Idaho, that makes me a Democrat. (If you don't like something on this blog, please E-mail me. Don't call me at home.)

I remember a 90 somthing day cruse coming up in Holly Lock on a cloudy day and complaining how bright the Sun was.
And I miss the old days Why?

Actually, this is probably more true during the Maneuvering Watch into Port Canaveral in the summertime. When the really large cabin cruisers and yachts go out the channel when you are coming in ---- with their topless cargo sunbathing. It draws a crowd on the scope. Disrupts the watch. But the XO always gets to look. And we learned to keep film in the camera.
