At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy.

We followed them into port only a few minutes later. Well, we went into port, they sat on the reef for three days!!!

Thanks, actually the first photos I have ever seen of the event. We were probably already moored by the time these were taken. We were like 15 minutes behind them.

In the third photo, according to the channel markers, it appears they are set off the channel a good bit.

In other words the Manuvering Watch was a bunch of non-quals.

What we thought was so funny was we had had huge issues with our gyro the whole patrol. Had a First Class Electrician babysitting it. He even slept and ate in front of it. He had a huge ashtray that sort of smoldered next to him like an incense bowl. We always kidded him about "...praying to the great god Sperry". Had some other issues too that I can't remember any longer. They had everything working and missed it. We didn't and waved as we went by.
