There was very big news in the submarine world today as USS Connecticut departed San Diego for the final leg of a 7000 nautical mile surface transit.

The Sub Vets, Eric and Dave (your submarine experts!) recall their own adventures on surfaced submarines, including the more disgusting bits (Hint: NEVER Trust a guy in the crews lounge or Dave when he tells you that the AMR1 bilge will "help" with your seasickness)!

The West Taiwanese have a new theory about what Connecticut hit, but like most insane conspiracy theories it doesn't really... well... hold water.

And the whole scenario is just a reminder of why we have the greatest Navy in the entire world.

And we BEAT ARMY!
