Here is just a small part of what a person has to go through if they want to join the silent service.

Been there, done that.

Rum, Bum and Backy.     :o           :' ;D ;D ;D   :-*

With the depth those subs go down to I doubt it would be a great deal of use. BUT since they still do the drill about how to fit an inflatable life jacket on planes when flying over land.......Who am I?

The post reminded me of a friend of mine, in her teens, a boyfriend told her that she should see the submarine race. He pointed out to sea and she said she looked for ages before she realised.

The relationship did not develop further.

You may mock but just remember when we where up on the artic patrols freezing our whatsits off it was to protect you from the ruskies and your freedom of expression would be severly  curtailed if we had failed.

Rum, Sodomy and the lash was a great CD are you a fan?

i just thought Rum, Sodomy and the Lash was a great name for a band......... I suppose if you were unlucky, it was Rum, Sodomy and a Rash...

the number of people in our family who had a life on the ocean wave is quite a lot, so i was exempted

I come from a sea faring background but there is NO WAY I would serve in a submarine, good on you Ace. :)

I help build them.....they are launching the second of the class on Thursday.

Been there,done it and passed my s/m course in 1960 served on alcide and artful.
   Bet they wouldnt put up with the conditions we had in those days.Still we all say that dont we?

Even more admiration for my boss who is a serving 'Daylight dodger', Ace, did you know the landlord that kept the pub across from Osborne house, a former submariner,

Grrr, I can't look, my BitDefender keeps blocking it!

The Prince of Wales not a pub I frequent very often as it is in East Cowes where if the world was to have piles, that's where they would be.

Come Ace East Cowes is not that bad I turn up every other year, :)

I too have served my time from O boats to Polaris and Hunter killers, all have been a good jolly in their time and all have gone to the tin cutters in the sky. :-\
