          I dont know much about American Submarines but this photograph looks to be an O Class, but the Pennant Number is confusing. My references tell that the O Class Pennant Number 66 was non existant, pennant number 65 and 67 but no 66. However, I will have another look

            That is an O boat. USS S-66 was rammed by a steemer near the Panama Canal on Oct 10 1923. Struck from the records on Oct 28. Went down in less than 60 seconds. 3 men lost. It was raised and scrapped a year later The "O" is missleading because back then the names of the classes kept changing. Initialy, it was commissioned as the USS O-5 during WWI After the war the us subs were designated with an "S" in front of the new post war number

                  When the Skipper leaves the Con to take a nap, the boat just dont stop. The only issue there is, Will the boat be where its suppose to be when he gets back? I didnt even realise you were gone. Just got back from a week vay kay on the OC myself

                    I thought he had taken a solemn oath not to abandon the ship. Even when feeling unwell. The rules I thought, were he had to ask for permission first from his crew.

                      he didnt really abandon the ship, just left the bridge, and the captain doesnt ask the crew permission to leave. He makes the rules, they ask him permission to do everything, including breathing his air.

                            The post WW-2 Japanese Navy (self defense force) is absolutely anal about cleanliness and material condition of their assets. The USN is a close second.

                              Roger that on the nippon navy. On the other side of the coin, however. I was aboard a TGB (Turkish navy) Fleet sub, that we leased to them, back in the early 60s. Those boys were a Funkey bunch. I dont think they ever changed the OEM fart sacks on the racks since we gave them the boat after the war.

                                Try an Indian vessel. Your nose will be served for a decade. And can`t resist the chance to comment that the Japs are "anal" with their "ass- ets".
