A SALUTE TO SUBMARINES

For those who don't know, I spent over 27 years in the US Navy, all of it either on nuclear powered submarines or in support of submarine operations. Most people I talk to about it say "I could never do that!" I won't brag or pat myself on the back. I stayed that long in the Navy because it was interesting and challenging. My career had its high points and its lows, but overall I enjoyed it.

I bring this up because there is an interesting piece today, the anniversary of the USS Nautilus and her first underway on nuclear power.

Read it at the New York Post online.
