I find the theory that a Mk 37 (electric torpedo) battery activated due to a failed component, resulting in a hot run in the torpedo room, to be much more plausible and fit well with facts at evidence.

I don't buy into his theory and there is evidence to refute it. Anyway, drop me a line and I would be more than happy to give you one submariner's take (bullnav@op-for.com). Lex, you don't get Cabela's catalogs anymore??? They have very much expanded their line, and even though I left LT in the dust a looong time ago, I still get them. But, seeing as how I live 20 minutes from <a href="http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/community/aboutus/retail-detail.jsp?detailedInformationURL=/cabelas/en/content/community/aboutus/retail/retail_stores/dundee/dundee.html" rel="nofollow">one</a>, should I? Do I really nead them? With archery season a mere two months away, hell yeah!

It's so very, very nice to reap the benefits of the tough submariner training when our son Alex comes home to visit, now much more a man than boy. I understand that first patrol "Dolphins" are rare, but that's what he's earned, per his board just this morning. Dolphins are the mark of a true submariner I'm told; now we must come up with our own form of recognition. Pleasant duty, that!!! Proud we understand, Lex. “Stand Down” time is GREAT and much appreciated by parents, especially when it brings our Seaman home from his first patrol on the USS Maine.
