    The Hunt For Red October is now a reality.

    I was HS for most of my time. Yeah, it was always against the drone targets at the ranges.

    The Hunt For Red October is now a reality.

    I'm surprised the 46 is still being used. A majority of our torpex's were with 50's with the 54's in testing. That was back in the early 2000's.

    Show my heavy metal bro's some love & likes!

    **** Around >>> Find Out

    A rescue of a lifetime that's for sure. One of my senior crewman when I was young swimmer had his lifetime rescue during the fire on the USS Bonefish. I think it was 21 rescued over a continuous 3 hour period. He ended up in the hospital for over a week and was temporarily blinded from all the...
