At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

I dove into The Old Gringos page again and still find it fresh and exciting.
For those of you who a re new to the boards go to this link:

and listen to a very good teller of tails as to what it was like to sail the early boats and WW II to boot.

For those of you who remember Tom Parks a nice flash from the past.
