You just won a free ride on my submersible as soon as I can figure out a way to steer it.

![]() I was on a supply ship. The great part of being on a supply ship is half the time we were deployed we'd be in port replenishing. Sure it was hell on earth for the poor bastards in the supply department, but I was in engineering. Also being in engineering I didn't have to do any of the deck ape shit - no chipping and painting for me. I've been to a couple of dozen different ports, mostly in the Med but also in the Caribbean and South America. I've been to Toulon - I'll see that and raise you Rio de Janeiro. Sure we were in Naples a lot, but while it was nasty, dirty and seedy, it was also fun. And had I not gone to Naples, I'd have never gone to Rome. The worst Italian port city was Catania, Sicily, which made Naples look like Beverly Hills. But in the Med, the Spanish ports were the best, particularly Malaga and Palma. France was beautiful, but it was expensive and the people sucked. As for the seas, sure, we were in some nasty storms and high waves, but on a typical day there'd be nothing more extreme than gentle rolling. I've spent over a year actually underway, and maybe a month and a half of that was in bad weather/heavy seas. Crossing the North Atlantic was the worst, especially heading back to Norfolk when we were empty. But we didn't conduct replenishments in the open Atlantic. And not sure what you mean by blue tile decks. The tiles in most of the work and berthing spaces were white or black, and in the passageways they were green. Of course, that was nearly 40 years ago. |

If these folks believed this equipment was certified and tested I would assume that is why they gladly paid a fortune for a Titanic tour.
Of course if they were told that there was a 50% chance of catastrophic failure and they still handed their money over, then to each his own

I think one of these could work. But before I try, can you confirm that you're under 50? I'm in this to explore AND inspire.

Rickover seems part brilliant, part bastard. Or maybe several parts of both. I can't imagine you haven't read that one but if not, it's an interesting read.

Even money says you worked with my wife's aunt out there. She'd be about the same age and worked at McDonnell Douglas in Denver for like 25 years before retiring 3-4 years ago. Then again, you could tell me that they employ 20,000 people there and I'd believe your. Or 17. I have no idea what the odds of anyone crossing paths there would be...
