Happy Hump Day ✌️A Bernoulli Hump is a surface bulge a boat makes if speed vs depth is not managed properly. It may be less than an inch high, but modern ASW radar can detect the disturbance from many miles away. Run silent, RUN DEEP.

After surviving the sinking of the USS Tang in October 1944, Richard O'Kane was captured and secretly transferred to the Ōfuna Interrogation Camp, near the naval base at Yokosuka. The Japanese military did not register him as a POW & the Navy listed him as MIA, most presumed he was dead for nearly a year. Following Japan's surrender, Allied forces entered Tokyo Bay to liberate nearby camps. On August 30, 1945, an emaciated 88-pound O'Kane was brought out to the USS Reeves anchored in Tokyo Bay where he gave a groundbreaking interview to the Associated Press, revealing to the world for the first time that he was alive. This is the oldest fast attack in the US Pacific Fleet, USS Scranton (SSN-756), transiting Tokyo Bay two weeks ago today to pull into the naval base at Yokosuka... carrying aboard Admiral O'Kane's cribbage board.

Some good guesses. It's Lake Pend Orielle in Idaho at US Navy Acoustic Research Detachment (ARD). Home to the world’s largest uncrewed autonomous submarine, LSV 2 "Cutthroat". Built as a test vehicle for Virginia technology insertion, now being modified to perform the same service for Columbia-class. Also seen here is "Sea Jet", the Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator (AESD), a quarter-scale model of the Zumwalt-class destroyer. The first image was of "Dolly Varden". A Buoyant Rise Vehicle used at ARD, pulled down to the bottom of the lake and let her rip to the surface.

80 years ago today, the United States conducted the first underwater nuclear explosion in history, Operation Crossroads Test Baker at Bikini Atoll. The 23-kiloton weapon was suspended 90 feet below a landing craft and detonated amidst a fleet of decommissioned and captured ships to test the effects of nuclear weapons on naval vessels. The blast created a supersonic hydraulic shockwave that crushed nearby hulls and launched a massive column of water over a mile into the air. Several submarine and notable ships were targeted in the test: Arkansas (BB-33) Nagato (Japanese Battleship) Nevada (BB-36) New York (BB-34) Pennsylvania (BB-38) Saratoga (CV-3) Independence (CVL-22) Prinz Eugen (IX-300) Pensacola (CA-24) Apogon (SS-308) Pilotfish (SS-386) Skipjack (SS-184) Dentuda (SS-335) LSM-60

Happy Friday‼️ ✌️ By now you've probably seen the scoreboard that USS Abraham Lincoln returned from deployment sporting. Her embarked squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 9 (CVW-9) flew nearly 4,000 combat sorties, delivering more than 1.5 million pounds of ordnance. Before munitions like those used by CVW-9 during Operation Epic Fury make it to the fleet, Air Test and Evaluation Squadrons VX-9 "Vampires" & VX-31 "Dust Devils" from Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake make sure they function flawlessly through live-fire testing. The 1.1 million acre station in the Mojave Desert is THE premier research, testing, & evaluation center for United States Navy aviation ordnance.

She is the longest serving submarine in US Navy history. She performed strategic deterrence patrols in the Pacific for 21 years, then in November 2003, she entered Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to undergo a mid-life reactor refueling and a complete reconfiguration. Over roughly three years, she was transformed from a nuclear deterrent platform into a Special Forces Clandestine Command Center with dual Dry Deck Shelter capability & ability to launch a 154 Tomahawk salvo in 6 minutes. She officially returned to the active fleet as an SSGN in February 2006. She was my home for many years & where I earned my dolphins. USS Ohio (SSBN/SSGN-726) 🇺🇸 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 & 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵

🚨 NEW! - the submarine that scored the first US torpedo kill since 1945, sinking Iranian frigate Dena this March, will be participating in RIMPAC‼️ 💥 Los Angeles-class (688i) submarine USS Charlotte (SSN-766) will likely get to let loose another Mark 48 during a RIMPAC SINKEX. Reportedly Tarawa-class amphibious assault ship Ex-Peleliu (LHA 5) and Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser Ex-Mobile Bay (CG 53) are on the chopping block. The Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2026 exercise is scheduled to begin in less than 2 weeks!

Since it's 7/29 and we just found out 729 is being inactivated this week, here's the infamous collision between USS Georgia (SSBN-729) & harbor tug USS Secota (YTM-415). The entire incident caught on video, which every submariner since has watched as part of lessons learned training, the unfortunate comment about the mail becoming a specific example of what NOT to do. Georgia had just completed a personnel transfer approximately 3nm south of Midway when USS Secota lost power. The powerless 100-foot tug became entangled with the boomer's stern plane while the boat's screw was still turning, causing the tug to quickly flood & sink. While ten crewmen were rescued, two tragically lost their lives. USS Georgia suffered only minor damage to her stern plane & returned to port for repairs.
