At random: Long considered a versatile and deadly instrument of war, the submarine has broadened her capabilities with the adoption of nuclear power. Today the submarine serves as a ballistic missile platform, early warning station, killer of surface and underwater vessels, scout, coastal raider troop transport, supply ship, mine layer, and seaplane tender.

Subject: The Sick Submariner

I was asked for some ways that a submariner might say he is/feels ill without coming straight out and saying it...
or be told that he appears to be ill.
I thought of one, (more geared towards a boat comparison) but I figured you might have some more clever ones.

How about "Not up to full battery" or "Not running with a zero bubble"?

I must have picked up a zero ground somewhere.
Not running on all cylinders.
My scope must be bent.
The old accumulator ain't accumulating.
Stand by to vent sanitary #1.
Sure could use an air start.

A little imagination can go a long way. :~)))))

You look like you've been s**t at and hit
That's right out of the "Book of Corpsman"
Ask the Beagle Doc, he'll confirm it.

Also after a night of heavy drinking the M-Div Chief said to me, "Gentry... your eyes look like two piss-holes in the snow!"

Had a Swamp Yankee Div Chief from "Down Maine" on the 601 that was famous for saying to his underlings after a good night on the Beach...

"If ya wanna Hoot with da Owls fellas.. Ya gotta scream with da Eagles" Words of wisdom seldom taken..I screamed often

Had a WWII TMC for COB on Odax, Bill Castengera "Chief Cas", when I reported aboard back in'62. He had a saying for guys that showed up late for any function. The guy being late would plead that he was only 2 minutes late and Chief Cas would reply, "How would you like to have your nuts in a vice for 2 minutes". Cracked me up everytime I heard it
Chief Cas served on Sennet also back in the '50's. He's on Eternal Patrol now. He was a good man and taught us Non-Quals a lot about being a Submarine Sailor.
