At random: In their history, submarines were called by many names such as 'eel boats', 'plunging boats', 'devil divers', and 'pig boats'. Technically, and by size, the submarine is a ship, but it has been called a boat since its earliest days, and the term is steeped in tradition. Submariners almost invariably call their ships 'boats".

Skipjack never looked that shabby when I was leading seaman on her. What year and where was that taken? She must have just returned from one of those "infamous" northern runs.

Hi Doc

The picture was taken in 1967 in Bermuda. That's Maynard G. Krebs, aka Marv Miller, holding down the Engine Room hatch. If you go to the Bill Phillips Collection on the Skipjack website you can see a bigger picture.
