Hi Gary,
USS Casimir Pulaski, SSB(N)633 B. "Luxuries" of a boomer? They're very over rated. On my first patrol, due to a screwup by the OOD, we were detected by a Soviet destroyer. It took us four days at ahead flank at a very deep depth to lose him. His active sonar drilled right through the hull into your head. Ninety-six hours of getting pinged does a number on you.

And given that it was a Soviet submarine that sunk the Scorpion with a torpedo, we were probably on the fifth of our allotted nine lives.
Namaste,
Morty -_-
