Gay Men Inside Gigantic US $4 Billions Submarine Patrolling the Oceans-Why?

@reggierico

I worked as a shipyard carpenter at Electric Boat during 1977-1980 time frame. I worked on the Ohio and the Michigan and several 688 class submarines. Because the Ohio was the prototype of the class, a lot of mistakes were inevitably made during its construction, even though a full sized wooden mockup was built before the actual keel was laid. One of the biggest mistakes that I can remember was AFTER all of the missile tubes had been welded into the hull, it was determined that they were ALL slightly off centerline. The fix was to cut out each tube and reinstall it in its proper location. Does anyone remember that?

Gay Men Inside Gigantic US $4 Billions Submarine Patrolling the Oceans-Why?

Interesting info on our subs. Their specs are underestimated by multiples. A close friend in the late 60s was a commander and bought a house from a captain of the Enterprise, our first Nuclear CV, who said the carrier could do over 50 knots... that's close to 60mph. I can't believe that 55yrs later our carriers cant beat that. You would think they would need to get up on a plane to do that. Our carriers are vulnerable to swarm attack from coordinated, land, sea/sub sea, and air, anti-ship missiles which could sink or at least make it inoperable. The only thing that might stop them is the response we might reply with for the loss off 5,000 crew and a 13 billion dollar ship
