At random: "I don't know why we have to be down here on this hold down exercise(at the 60th hour). Hell, I went through this on the Thresher (SS 200) during WW ll with a Nip Sea Going Tug hooked onto our screw guards, trying to lift our butts out of the water. They didn't get us then, and these Tin Cans (ours) ain't going to get us now." -- "Hambone" Hamilton SD1 (SS). "Hambone" made 13 war patrols on USS Remora, SS-487, uttered these words in July 1957 during a hold down exercise off Kobe Japan.

Pacific 10/13/65: The USS Barb (SSN-596) and USS Sargo (SSN-583) collide while on
maneuvers 15 miles west of Oahu, Hawaii. Minor damaged resulted to the forward end of one
submarine and to the mast and sail of the other, but there were no injuries and both ships
returned to port under their own power.
