Thank you just doesn't seem to quite say it, especially today.
We accept checks, cash, etc.

Subs are safe.
Until they're not.
My Senior Chief brother would not elaborate due to obvious reasons but he disputed what the media says that sub actually does.
I want more submarine story time from our resident sub guy Actaeon!
Whos with me?
Read this, you will know exactly what that sub is for and why. I am impressed that such a tiny gizmo is nuc powered though.

I've been thinking about doing a "fiction based on reality", based on the battle of Leyte Gulf (battle off Samar).
WWII.
Possibly the most mismatched fight in the history of naval combat.
Mismatched it was. How much do you think the battle was influenced by Admiral Kondo having fallen overboard and manifesting symptoms of hypothermia?
One also wonders how it would have gone down had Willis Lee shown up with the Iowa-class battleships.
I just finished "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors".
An AWESOME account of the battle.

Fuel enrichment and geometry can make a pretty small but powerful reactor. I've always heard that the navy uses more highly enriched fuel than civil reactors, but have no idea how high. The geometry of criticality is very unforgiving though, and anything small making a lot of power has a certain amount of energy inertia that has to be figured in. That includes chemical in addition to nuclear reactions.
