Submarine tour of the Titanic goes missing

[2A_Tom]

That would be the equator.

 

[Mikey1911]

"I'm an able-bodied sailor
And I've often crossed the Line
On whaling ships, and sailing ships
And ships of ev-er-y kind

But now, I've got the very best job
I've had for many a day--
I'm workin' on the tanker
Bringin' oil to Bantry Bay"

Hey!

Submarine​

Born in the shops of the Devil,
Designed in the brains of a fiend;
Filled with acid and crude oil,
And christened "A Submarine".
The poets send in their ditties,
Of Battleships spick and clean;
But never a word in their columns,
Do you see of a submarine.

I'll try and depict our story,
In a very laconic way;
Please have patience to listen,
Until I have finished my say.

We eat where’re we can find it,
And sleep hanging up on the hooks;
Conditions under which we're existing,
Are never published in books.

Life on these boats is obnoxious,
And that is using mild terms;
We are never bothered by sickness,
There isn't any room for germs.

We are never troubled with varmints,
There are things even a cockroach can't stand.
And any self-respecting rodent,
Quick as possible beats it for land.

And that little one dollar per dive,
We receive to submerge out of sight;
Is often earned more than double,
By charging batteries at night.

And that extra compensation,
We receive on boats like these;
We never really get at all,
It's spent on soap and dungarees.

Machinists get soaked in fuel oil,
Electricians in H2SO4;
Gunnersmates with 600W,
And torpedo slush galore.

When we come into the Navy Yard,
We are looked upon with disgrace;
And they make out some new regulations,
To fit our particular case.

Now all you Battleship sailors,
When you are feelin’' disgruntled and mean;
Just pack your bag and hammock,
And go to "A Submarine"

There was no author listed for this piece. It is reputed to have been written by a sailor off the N-2

That would be the equator.

Equator is Shellback

Prime Meridian is Golden Shellback

Equator & Prime Meridian = Emerald Shellback

I only crossed the Arctic Circle ( 10° ) which is a Blue Nose

I have a submersible joke on my dating profile and I'm not sorry at all.

My fondest wish is to die in such a way as to be clowned upon with only the dankest of memes.

I’m not sure about Subways new ad campaign, but any publicity…
