This attached picture is in itself a travel in time. It shows a Skipjack class sub transiting at high speeds on the surface. Nuclear power had been harnessed and we had several teardrop hull fast attack submarines that were second to none. The fastest boats in the world. These first teardrop hulls were hard to produce and were left behind as the need for more submarines dictated a more streamlined process of making them faster. These were expensive to make. On the slim sail the sailors seemed on top of the world as it sliced thru the waves. I saw one up close once but was unable to take the time and take a tour. I regret this and always will. You really have to force yourself to slow down and take the time. David Bartsch Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. Sign up now. |
