Doyle-- I would have been the helpful sailor making
uke: sounds behind you, or walking around the ship with an open can of sardines! I LOVED making others uke:.
Question--- Did you get your beer day? (30 days out you should have)
I got 2 beer days in one cruise! One for 45 days out and the other for 33 days out!

Here's the USS SHARK at Mare Island Naval Ship Yard (where she was when I reported aboard back in '83) performing a test of the emergency blow (all of the water forcibly blown from the ballast tanks, affording the boat emergency positive buoyancy).
Muy importante.

I truly don't remember getting a beer day! Now I feel ripped off! I do remember thinking there was an earthquake in the dam jungle after we took the beach, the whole world kept moving for days!
(ps I'm not trying to make this sound like WWII on Omaha Beach....there wasn't a VC or NVA around for 40 miles!)

That is funny right there!
re: "S h a r k !"
Here's the main passageway fore-aft in SHARK... On the left is the ship's office; on the right is the 'radio shack', and immediately behind us, at Frame 44, is the reactor compartment.
The day I got my Dolphins...
The two guys behind me are Ed Davidson and Hank Renard (also known as SeaDaddies; I know, I know), both of whom helped me study ship's systems before the review board to determine my qualifications.
Passing that board was the last requirement before the award of the Dolphins.
It was a great day!
