At random: The USS SKIPJACK was the first submarine designed from the keel up for top underwater performance using nuclear power. An earlier SKIPJACK was the first U.S. submarine to cross the Atlantic ocean under her own power (Newport, Rhode Island to Ponta Delgada, Azores, in 1917).

...After a long haul I've finally gotten a major rework of the Looking Glass Page completed and I THINK I have fixed all the glitches and improved the experience, (?)

http://pigboats.com/subs/legends.html

I don't have the RSS page uploaded yet but that will happen later tonight.

================================================

I am also announcing that before Thanksgiving I will be hosting SUBNET on PigBoats.COM. Don Merrigan has turned all the pages and all the data over to me. I will be working with Dave Johnston, a co-founder of PigBoats.COM, on the rework of SUBNET and hopefully we will maintain the spirit of the original but with a more modern feel. For those who do not know. SUBNET predates Ron Martini's page on the web. Don worked closely with Jim Christley in producing it. I am very honored to have been chosen to carry on the work.

Ric, I look forward to seeing what Subnet looks like. Many of the members of Cyberspace Base were around and involved with Don and I hear sea stories about him and others. I am glad you will be keeping that part of our history.

Outstanding Ric for what you are doing.

I always liked the SUBNET layout. Glad to see you are resurrecting it.
At that time It really filled a need in the '90s when boat info was kinda
sparse on the net . I recall Rontini and Merrigan were the main
resources available. God bless 'em both.

I am glad to see so many excellent boat info sources such as
SUBSAILOR and http://www.oneternalpatrol.com/ and many others
too (and of course your PIGBOATS). And not to be overlooked is the
new and improved USSVI site

Additionally I am finding the search-site: INFO.com (the RESEARCH
section especially) to be extremely good. Plug a boat name and hull
number and it pulls up a wealth of info with much good narrative and a
passle of links. Been using that source more and more.

Keep up the good work.

Sid
