  1. Looks like Holy Loch. You ask why? Because submarines are limited for visual navigation so they need more eyeballs outside. (scoff) civilians (scoff)

  2. That's an older picture. 41 for Freedom SSBN and the lookouts are wearing dixie cups (a proper sailor's hat) and blue poopy suits. None of the current blue camo crap.

  4. no, not standing the sail, standing lookout. Not even standing on the sail... they are on the fairwater planes. I really like your blog, I admire the hell out of it, but really, your title on this one is crap. ET3/QM3/MM3 (SS) on the SSN 717 and 759 from 91-99
