Open ocean submarine transfers are no joke. I did one on Ohio in the 90s in this exact area. This is a September 2009 MEDEVAC: a Bangor-based Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine getting help from an Air Station Astoria USCG MH-60. The sailor was flown to OHSU in Portland.

Watching with my son for the first time, he’s never seen it. Guess the movie.

40 years ago today: a collision occurred 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 infamous. 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 its stern plane & returned to port for repairs.

OTD in 1939: Sargo-class submarine USS Squalus (SS-192) suffered a catastrophic valve failure during a test dive off New Hampshire & sank to the bottom in 240' of water, killing 26 men. This was the rescue of the 33 survivors, for which the divers received the Medal of Honor.

"but Dad, how did you isolate the linear accelerometers from the submarine's angular motion?" "well son, the specifics are classified. but check out the head stabilization the American Kestrel uses to isolates their eyes from their motion in flight to stay focused on prey."

Merry Christmas Eve‼️ The biennial ICEX returns in 2026, where submarines come to play at the North Pole ‼️ 🧊 Operation Ice Camp 2026 (ICEX 2026). Here's what we know so far: 🧊 Dates: February 19, 2026 – March 25, 2026 🧊 Location: A drifting ice floe in the Arctic Ocean, approximately 100 to 225 nautical miles north of Deadhorse (Prudhoe Bay), Alaska. 🧊 Ice Camp Name: Not yet announced. The Navy typically names the camp after a historical submarine shortly before the operation begins. 🧊 Recent names: 🐟 Ice Camp Whale (2024) 🐟 Ice Camp Queenfish (2022) 🐟 Ice Camp Seadragon (2020) 🐟 Ice Camp Skate (2018) 🐟 Ice Camp Sargo (2016) 🐟 Ice Camp Nautilus (2014) 🧊 Expeditionary Logistics: Camp construction consists of building a temporary command center AKA "The Village" on a floating ice pan. This includes heated tents, a command hut, and a runway for fixed-wing aircraft. The camp must maintain a runway capable of supporting daily supply flights from Deadhorse, AK. 🧊 Submarine Operations: Under-Ice Navigation and testing the ability of US and Allied submarines to transit and communicate under the ice canopy. Surfacing to include several breakthrough events where submarines surface through the ice near the camp. Torpedo Exercises to include firing non-warshot training torpedoes under the ice to be recovered by divers. 🧊 Research & Development: Acoustics testing of how sound propagates under the ice, which is critical for sonar performance in the Arctic environment. Vertical Array Sensing where hydrophone arrays are deployed through holes in the ice to track submarines. Environmental data collection of ice thickness, water salinity, and temperature data to update Arctic models. 📹 A look at how it's done
