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.)
This is my 2500th post on this blog. In celebration, here's a cool picture of USS Chicago (SSN 721) at PD:
Expect light posting this week -- we've got family coming into town and our youngest is graduating from High School (yes, the two events are related). Please feel free to discuss amongst yourselves about pretty much anything.

Is it surfacing? Why the light colored top on the deck? Looks like bubbles.

Nice Photo! Hard to hide in water that clear!

Look at that scar in the water! What a counter-detection threat...tell the OOD to SLOW DOWN!!

I deny your Hooyah. Just back a line of cement trucks up to the DD basin and start filling that thing in.

Sun bleaching of the black topside paint, most likely.

I thought submarines were non-detectable at PD.

This was at the end of the exercise.
We did two weeks at PD doing this and they never found us. It was amazing.

Congratulations Joel, I enjoy your blog and it brings back good and some bad memories!
6/01/2010 11:01 PM
That's a pretty humiliating counter-detect.

Looks like Chicago is getting ready to goto a Luau with that nice green skirt on.

"I deny your Hooyah. Just back a line of cement trucks up to the DD basin and start filling that thing in."
could not agree more....
Raise your hand if you dropped a sub off the blocks in drydock.....
And to think that they tried to BRAC the best shipyard out there... PNSY!
glad we still have anonymous posting!

I fully match with whatever thing you have presented us.

it becomes an incredible, beautiful, simple and easy sincere online video of a great idea. I am this type of supporter of the function! I'd take a nip of treat away any tree every day.
