LTC (Join to see) I've been aboard USS Olympia and USS Jefferson City. I Just Make it a Habit to Leave before they Intentionally Sink.

That is quite a way to make a living, not sure I could handle it. I have been aboard the USS Nautilus which was the firs nuclear powered submarine. It had a crew of 111 people, 11 Officers, 100 enlisted. Some WWII vintage subs I've toured were a lot more cramped. The Nautilus had two complete levels, (two floor levels) I wasn't Navy so not up on all their logo or what they might call that. The film was pretty interesting but i think I'll keep My feet on land.

Used to do the annual open house at the New London sub base as a kid and toured many WWII vintage submarines. I was amazed at the space the first time I toured a modern nuclear submarine.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Had that experience also with touring WWII submarines elsewhere and saw how much larger a nuclear submarine was and the amount of space thee others just didn't have.
