Earlier quoted context omitted.
You read the book? I’m curious how all of the operational details and jargon held up to a real sailor.
yes, I read the book before I got to the boat when I was at nuclear reactor prototype training in Idaho. Read it on the long bus rides back and forth to the site. Yes, it was good and pretty operationally accurate. All the sub lingo etc, is accurate. Some of the actors on the bridge of the Dallas were active duty sub sailors at the time.
Did you live in IF or Pokey?
For some reason an image of my small green bus pillow came to mind. I wonder what happened to it.
