At random: Interests in submarines extends to royalty and presidents. The King of England and the King and Queen of Spain are among those who have made submerged cruises in submarines. As a result of a trip in an early United States submarine, President "Teddy" Roosevelt ordered extra compensation for personnel serving in the "Silent Service." President Harry Truman made a 440 foot dive in a captured German submarine. The first President to cruise aboard a nuclear submarine was President Eisenhower who rode the USS SEAWOLF out of Newport, Rhode Island on September 26, 1957.

Oh so many moons ago JoAnn and I were married at the Shepherd Of The Sea Chapel on Sub Base Groton.

As I recall, the stained glass windows were an impressive montage of Christianity and Submarines.

Before I make an ass out of myself by asking the current chaplain for what might not exist (sheesh my memory is so bad it's a good thing my wife responds to "honey") - do you remember the same windows I do? any online source for nice hi res photos of them?

Thanks in advance - Hugh

Hugh ~ (I’ll post this answer on all three boards) The Chapel on the Thames (on base) has ten stained glass windows. I cannot remember what they look like but they are based on Psalm 148 according to the website.

As I recall the regulations say there cannot be any permanent religious symbols as the chapels can be used by all faiths.
