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)

There's a huge statue of that kiss in Sarasota Florida. I saw it when I was down visiting my brother. I guess it alternates time between Sarasota and San Diego.
My wife bought a framed version of it and has it hanging in her office/study.
Thanks for the story about it.
