My favorite submarine story:
I was on a carrier and we were doing NATO exercises with about 7 other ships from several nations.
Our job was to find a “Russian” submarine which was actually one of ours playing the bad guy.
7 days pass, exercise over.
We failed. And we had some serious gear at our disposal.
As soon as it is announced that the exercise is over, the sub surfaces right in the middle of all the ships!
Stunning to say the least! It was there for the whole 7 days!
Hats of to @Brew12! Makes me feel good about having bubble heads like that on our side!
