She actually moved next door to me before I moved a couple weeks ago. Shes pretty nice. I only made one deployment with her, but everything went fine. Woman have been underway on subs before so its nothing terribly new.
The Ohio only has one female officer and she showed up on my last deployment. She is the Supply Officer, cool chick. The female in the photo is a medical officer that came along that mission for some training. Correct, there are no female SEALs.
You guys dont have to worry, I dont even want to be a mod. I have no desire to mod a site that thinks it doesnt need the help... You guys are safe from my "assumed moderator overload routine."
I just want to be able to edit my own posts...
Yep, I can only change the Feedback thread and the Memorial Day thread. If its intentional, I would appreciate it if we could get that ability back. Its always nice to add stuff to original posts. Or change titles once something happens.
Mods say they are already swamped with work, it would be stupid to add changing thread titles. That seems like an unnecessary admin job.
Lol if I remember correctly from Golden Gardens last year, Im bigger than you lol.
But yes, cheese would kill me. Not due to allergic reaction, but because I would be so devastated that my brain would cease to function. It would just shut down. Ugh, so gross.
Ive been onboard once. Cool boat.
Ive been on all currently commissioned classes of US boats, a couple decommed US boats, British t-hulls, Australian Collins class, and Korean Type-209. Submarines are awesome.
So I was confused why you listed "or Akula" as they are not the same class. Typhoon is a class and Akula is a class. I just did a Google search and looking at Wikipedia it gives me my answer. Wikipedia is way incorrect. Akula class boats are smaller fast attack style boats where are the Typhoon class is a huge behemoth of a boat. Interesting that Wikipedia would list that.
I may or may not have gone against an Akula. I can positively confirm I have never seen a Typhoon (very unfortunately :( )
Here is the right Akula class boat : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akula-class_submarine
I meant LA class, my bad. I keep typing Ohio in this thread and it was habit. LA beams are something like 35ft. Regardless, I think the Typhoon is the largest submarine in the World. If Mike knows something I dont, Id love to see the specs. I love submarine history and knowledge. That was my favorite part of being a Sonar Technician; I was required to memorize all specifications of foreign subs. Fun time :)
