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.)
For your viewing pleasure -- a neat picture from NavSource of what appears to be a ship's diver on a 637 checking the aft escape hatch while the ship takes a wave over the deck:
IMHO, ship's divers don't get near enough extra pay for what they do...

That is a great pic! I had to go to Navsource to view it better and see that he did indeed have a safety harness on, but does not appear to have a life jacket. I know he is a diver and he can swim, but if the harness lets go,it's down into the prop wash for him.

At least nobody would be able to tell if he peed his pants.
