At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy.

I mentioned some of the warning signs but not all. So here they are:

Numbness or weakness of the face arm or leg on one side of the body.

Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.

Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.

Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.

Sudden severe headache with no known cause.

Scary...... over the last few years, I have experienced the first three of those for just a short time.............Maybe that explains a lot! They were only passing...a few seconds to a few minutes...

Thanks, Joe.

...you are talking about the signs of a Stroke?

This is what we are taught over here....

The FAST test is an easy way to recognise and remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the FAST test involves asking three simple questions. If the person has problems with any of the following functions, dial triple zero (000) to call an ambulance immediately: ( obviously for you guys, call 911....Blue *_* )

* Facial weakness – can the person smile; have their mouth or eyes drooped?
* Arm weakness – can the person raise both arms?
* Speech difficulty – can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?
* Time to act – act FAST and call 000 immediately.

Reduce your risk of stroke
Stroke risk is influenced by a number of factors. Some of these factors, such as age, gender and family history, can’t be controlled. However, there are a number of risk factors for stroke that you can control to reduce your chance of having a stroke.

Lifestyle factors that increase your risk of stroke include:

* High blood pressure
* Cigarette smoking
* Diabetes
* High cholesterol level
* Excessive amounts of alcohol
* Being overweight or obese
* A diet high in salt and fat
* Lack of exercise.

Don't forget if you think you're having an event chew an aspirin asap. You need to tell the medics that you have taken an aspirin if you are able.
