jp-30: No. A submarine is really a space shuttle without wings.

EmpireForever: A typical 688-class submarine is manned by about 120 men at minimum and usually crews about 150 or so. The numbers vary for different classes of ships, but it's basically about that number.

Did they loose their wings in a terrible space battle and were thereafter honored as submarines for their valiant efforts?

Only on the NUBs.

The rest is classified.

Ever seen a pink one?


When I was in Italy, I got really, really drunk one night. I saw a lot of pink stuff.

How do you celebrate holidays when you're out at see? Do you all just get drunk, or is there some special Navy way of doing it?


We don’t drink alcohol underway. So we usually just grab random NUBs and stick ‘em in tight spaces. Serves as great amusement*.


*No actual NUBs were harmed in the making of this announcement. Do not attempt to stick a NUB in a tight space without direct supervision of an adult on whom you can blame the incident on.





Nice..

Nope. No girls. Of course, I don't know why you'd feel sorry for me. I get as many girls on my sub as you do, I'm sure.

Incredibly original. You get mad props for that one. (Note the creative use of the word "props"? I'm going with your theme. Cool, huh?)

Nope. It's a horribly lie spread by the terrorist spies out to destabilize our great nation. Thankfully I'm here to dispell these horrible myths.

I have a fangirl??? shock How cool is that?? And to think I missed your post! doh!

Yes, my dear. All submarines are fallen space shuttles. The story is recorded in various biblical works, often disguised as some ridiculous battle between God and his angels.

When my oldest brother was in the Navy he said when they got off the ship in foreign ports they were required to take a condom with them. Is that a real Navy rule and if so does the rule apply to subs too?

When you're deep down, do you feel extremely uneasy? I can't imagine what it must be like down there, surrounded by billions upon billions of gallons of water with only a metal tube surrounding you for protection.

Also, do you have to come back up for air? You must have pressurized tanks filled with oxygen, so how often do you refill?
