If you're going to go Navy, it's the only way to go!

Bah! I'd rather have a nice smooth ride under the seas than be a target that is bobbing around like a cork.

Ah, but the cork sees the sun on a regular basis. And who can doesn’t like the sound of the screws coming out of the water as you climb and fall off waves in heavy weather. ;-}

Well, I served aboard The USS Grenadier SS-525, then aboard the USS Cony DD-508. I still can’t say which is the best duty. Both are special in their own way.

What boat were you on?
