Submarine tour of the Titanic goes missing

[actaeon277]

I don't know now, but one of my Uncles was in a Franklin Class Boomer (SSBN-655) in the 64's - 80? and he said they normally then didn't surface while on there patrols (75 days ) then.
I believe all of the Franklin Class, were scraped between 92 and 2002.

They go out, and stay down, hidden.

A few times on the farm with my Dad and alcohol, he talked about a few patrols that went longer than 75 days. I wish I had been old enough to remember what he said.

I mean…he’s not completely wrong. The tricky part is where that line is.

Correct. I believe his sole one paragraph there wholeheartedly. I see too many people fret over silly ****. There is no “safe”. Safety is an illusion. Now that doesn’t mean you don’t take precautions.

Air increases in temperature when compressed. The air in the pressure vessel compressed to 1/375th its previous volume and increased in temperature to...a lot.

But, humans are mostly water, and water isn't compressible, so...? I honestly don't know. There's no precedent for this.

There's plenty of precedent for it. Check out a "fire piston". Basically everything combustible is going to flash. Clothes, skin, muscle etc.

Eh. This is pretty much how I'd anticipate dying if I won a hundred million in the lottery. Or a rocket explosion.

"Yo, you hear about Ark? He built a replica of an X15 in his garage and launched it off a 737 he bought from a scrapyard!"

"Wow! How'd it go?"

"Oh, disintegrated immediately. Obviously."

Come on, man, if you're gonna go out like that you oughta give the world killdozer 2.0

Also, in 30 years, they refueled once.

So they only have to replace the hamsters once in 30 years? Man, they've got some high-tech hamster on those subs.

There is extensive testing before the dive.

My wife works for a woman whose husband was a Navy Seal, and he had some kind of mishap that blew his eardrums out on a submarine with something like this.

Well, rapid pressure changes are a risk

Not to mention SEALS and explosives

DDS?

Sounds like they could only go so fast with one dentist on board, versus several...

OUCH!

They did deliver, however.

No, no...reread the post. You can go faster with two because it provides balance. They just have to be port and starboard and not both port or both starboard.
