At random: Modern nuclear submarines can travel faster submerged than they can on the surface. They can fully submerge in less than a minute.

SHAW, Robert Phillip, Sr, left us on Thursday, November 3, 2022. Rob was born in Springfield, Missouri on September 13, 1965, and no matter where he roamed, The Ozarks were always where he called home. Rob joined the US Navy in 1983 as an E-1 and rose through the ranks to retire in 2012 as a Lieutenant Commander. He was an initiated Chief Petty Officer and while a Senior Chief, commissioned, joining the Wardroom as a proud Mustang. He served on many submarines, surface ships and shore commands. He was especially proud of his time spent as a crewmember of the USS Narwhal (SSN-671), the USS South Carolina (CGN-37) and as the Executive Officer of the USS Ardent (MCM-12) immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Rob received multiple awards and warfare designations, including his Enlisted Submarine Warfare, Enlisted Surface Warfare and Surface Warfare Officer pins, eight Navy Commendation Medals and two Meritorious Service Medals. Rob was a devoted son to Sheila and Richard and brother to Paul and Cindy. More than anything, he was loved by his children and grandchildren and did his best to be there for them. Whether it was giving advice to Lauren, being full of pride as Ethan graduated from ODU, pacing the sidelines at Jake's Smithfield football games, coaching Adam's baseball traveling team, crying as Robbie earned his Junior Black Belt at the age of 10, beaming with Amanda and Paden on their wedding day, laughing with Molly over silly practical jokes, driving to get Jonathan for school breaks and summer vacations or playing Grandpa Shark with Leah. Rob was an expert bass fisherman, an avid Kansas City Chiefs fanatic, enjoyed going to NASCAR races (RIP #3), a Harley rider and a huge history and museum buff. He had many friends, from every walk of life, all over the world and will be sorely missed by all those who knew him. He is survived by his mother and stepfather, Sheila and Richard Ward, Silverdale, WA; his wife, Jerri Shaw and their son, Robert (Robbie) Phillip Shaw II, Hampton, VA; former wife, Kimberly Srogi, their daughter Lauren Nichol Shaw and grandson Jonathan Michael Shaw, Anderson, IN; former wife, Mary Shaw, their sons Ethan Travis Ray Shaw, Jacob (Jake) Wade Shaw and Adam Richard Shaw, Hampton; stepdaughter Amanda and Paden Haas and granddaughter Leah Jean, Hampton; stepdaughter Molly Strickland, Springfield, MO; brother Paul Shaw III and nephew Preston, Biloxi and Long Beach, MS; sister Cindy and Rick Albertson and niece Rachel Worden, Port Orchard, WA; mother-in-law Phyllis Dixon, Springfield; extended family and friends. Rob's will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Please consider contributing in his name to The Army Transportation Museum Foundation. But more than anything, do remember Rob in your heart – just as he remembered each of you in his – and know that he's out there on the water somewhere, under bluebird skies, throwing a bubblegum trick worm under one of God's docks.
