      if you ever make it to the East Coast, head to Charleston SC,
      over in Mt Pleasant (just across the river) you can tour an Aircraft Carrier, Destroyer type (IIRC) and a Diesel sub,

      I cannot remember the names of each, (been 15 yrs or so) but do recall the sub was very tight inside

        One of the reasons I joined the USAF.

          Not... quite that crowded but some scenes sure were familiar from the '80s... and I was on a honking big Tender.

              Two reasons why I joined the Army Inf. I would't sink or crash. Although regretted it later, LOL Ray

                Reveille, reveille. All hands heave out and trice up. Drop your cocks and grab your socks. The smoking lamp is lit in all berthing spaces. Now reveille.

                  I want the Agnew treatment, or at least what H'wood purports in "The Cain Mutiny".

                    I remember that one quite well. And the Boats beating on a garbage can lid. Kinda sucked if you had the mid watch.

                      Battleship Park in Mobile, AL if anyone travels the area. You can easily see the ship while traveling along I-10.

                      You can go through the battleship USS Alabama and the WW2 era submarine USS Drum at the park. Also, a few planes on display including a A-12 and B52.
