Bless those who serve beneath the deep, Verse 2 of Submariner Version of Navy Hymn: Through lonely hours their vigil keep. May peace their mission ever be, Protect each one we ask of thee. Bless those at home who wait and pray, For their return by night or day.
The Seventh verse of the Navy Hymn is for Submariners: Lord God, our power evermore, Whose arm doth reach the ocean floor, Dive with our men beneath the sea, Traverse the depths protectively. O hear us when we pray, and keep Them safe from peril in the deep.

There is a sonar ping or two and then, once the sub is submerged, the order to "open the bulkhead flappers and recirculate" meaning to open the air conditioning ducting between compartments.

Fireball experiments done in Submarine For any AER Throttle man or Oiler this will bring back fond memories of your friends in Maneuvering. Sparktricians were our name and Fire Balls were our game... Description: In WW2, there were reports of Ball Lightning type fireballs on board U.S. Submarines. It was suspected that these rare events were caused by the very high inrush currents when the switch was closed from the huge capacity battery banks into the powerful DC electric motors which propelled the submarines. In his 4 decade search to understand some of the many possible causes of Ball Lightning, Robert K. Golka managed to 'Borrow' a submarine for experiments, using the many thousand amp generators used to recharge there huge battery banks. On Board the USS Silversides Submarine, he short circuits the DC generator outputs in attempts to duplicate this inrush current with the hopes of creating the rare fireballs reported only in this series of submarines.

USS Menhaden SS-377, 1967 – 1970
I was checking out your Diodon web site and found it very interesting. I was
a TM2(SS) on board Menhaden SS-377 another San Diego boat from back in the
'60's. While checking your site I found a photo which I personally took in
Tubes Forward back in '68. I'm sure you got the photo from GROG's Menhaden
site as he is the only person I've provided it to..
I don't mind you using the photo but give me a photo credit, at least. A
little more info on the photo, if you look closely to the right of the
escape trunk ladder you will the foot of
ET1(SS) Deweese
(click link for info for him) who was racked out
at the time I took the photo.
Have a good one.. Dave E.

Quotations on Subs & Submariners
"Of all the branches of men in the
Forces, there is none which shows more devotion and faces grimmer perils
than the submariner. Great deeds are done in the air and on the land;
nevertheless, nothing surpasses your exploits." The Silver Dolphins of the Submarine Service
Winston Churchill.
They are alone in the Navy.
I admired the PT boys.
And I often wondered how the aviators had the courage to go out day after day
and I forgave their boasting.
But the submariners! In the entire fleet they stand apart!"
James Michener
Tales of The South Pacific
Since 1900, our submarines have evolved from small submersibles with limited
capability to proven warfighters in World War II to today's nuclear-powered,
multi-missioned warships. Nearly 100 years of technological innovation and
flexible adaptation to changing strategic and defense needs have made today's
Submarine Force ready and able to respond decisively across the spectrum of
conflict.
Submarine Base Groton
"No one has done more to prevent conflict - no one has made a greater sacrifice for the cause for Peace - than you, America's proud missile submarine family. You stand tall among our heroes of the Cold War."
