Skorpion Sub by the Queen Mary

Forehead

As sort of promised to fellow D-grinner Tee Why, I've scanned some shots of that Russian sub next to the Queen Mary. These were taken on an el-cheapo disposable film camera about 6 years ago, and they feature my oldest son Kevin (from a previous marriage), whose whereabouts have not been known to me for over three years now.

Be that as it may, and as I don't yet know how to post more than one image at a time (right, Skippy?), here's a couple peeks inside that sub, with more to follow:

Those are pretty cool, Steve. If all sailors were the size of your son, there'd be tons of room in there!

One more couple of peeks, for now:

Yeah, but some of those Ruskies get kind of big (remember Rocky 3--or was it 4?). And I just remembered something: these shots were taken just a week or two after the Russian sub Kursk went down. The Russian guide who usually was in the sub (I've been through it about 10 times) was understandably absent during that time.

I sent you a message about the images...let me know how you go okay

My older brother was a Submariner in the Australian Navy for quite a few years, he was only 19 or 20 at the time I think, based in Sydney at Jarvis Bay.

We got to go on board the Submarine one time, and I was amazed at how closed in it was, very very confined space, man you would not want to be suffering from clostraphobia on one of those :uhoh

We also had a look through the Scope that was pretty cool, we were only young teenagers at the time.

He did tell me this though about life on a Submarine compared to life on the other Naval Ships he had been on ........ he said on a Ship your a number, on a Submarine you know everyone by their first name, he liked the Subs better.

Thanks for sharing I see your son is enjoying everyone moment, hope you get contact with him soon........ Skippy (Australia)
