Try a diesel boat WWII type with head and knee knockers. Then went aboard Jefferson SSBN - like being in Texas! I just hated going down the scuttle for GC, from fantail then up several ladders to the bridge. Did get to see lots of action - skipper's tele talker. Our full roster was 1200 but normally only 900 or so. Still plenty of room on CAG2. Fun times when replenishing at sea, no peanut butter or grape jelly to be found (wink-wink) and nobody cared. Go ask cookie for some bread on midwatch. CG11 we launched a bird that went downrange, then turned around twice, crossing the bridge. Chief set his cap over and was ready to jump. Sitting in launch room and whosh, then another - we looked at each other, then another - no place to go!
