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.

Random guy at JFK’s inauguration disagrees

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

Ultimately, a SSBN crew must be prepared for a scenario where their home, command structure, &amp; technology such as GPS no longer exist. Where adherence to contingency orders, alone &amp; isolated, is their final solemn mission.

🇺🇸 The moment America’s oldest commissioned naval vessel, USS Constitution, rendered honors to our newest, Block IV Virginia-class submarine USS Massachusetts (SSN-798)‼️

OTD in 1939: Sargo-class submarine USS Squalus (SS-192) suffered a catastrophic valve failure during a test dive off New Hampshire &amp; 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.

The may be the first time civilians get a full inside view of the classified &amp; complex orchestration of submerging an 18,00 ton submarine.

"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."

80 years ago today: Balao-class submarine USS Pampanito (SS-383) was decommissioned after making 6 WWII war patrols. 5 decades later, she starred as USS Stingray (SS-161) in one of the greatest submarine movies of all time, Down Periscope
