Ive done work on Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Subs and Seawolf Class subs. Both are Definitely amazing boats but the capability of the Ballistic Missile Subs give our nation the best first strike capability in the world.

I think I found something new to hunt, perhaps by bow.

And No it isn't the sub.

My dad was a Submarine Commander - Seawolf Class (USS Seafox). When he retired from the Navy after 20 years (including The Academy) he went to work for Sandia for 25 years designing weapons systems for the Nukes. Had a BS in math and a MS in engineering, almost finished his doctorate. One hell of a guy (rest his soul) and had some GREAT pictures through the periscope during WWII and The Korean conflict... :thumb: I'll try and scan some...

I wasted 4 years riding around poking holes in the ocean on the USS Baton Rouge SSN-689 (second one built in the 688 class). Thank god I was long gone when it collided with a russian sub in 1992 ending its career.

My dad was in the Navy during the Korean War, I would also love to see some pics!! We have a few black and white pics from his ship, but that's about all.

Thanks
