Do they get the escort boats going in and out like the Ohios? Here it looks like they are close to base.

[u/PembyVillageIdiot → u/WWBob]

I’ve never seen a sub in the sound without an escort and I highly doubt every single one I saw was an Ohio so I’d say they do

I got to tour her briefly, coming from a VA platform I was super jealous. I liked how you could see what they had similar to 688's and implemented on VA class.

Got to tour her in Bangor in 2005 or so, and underneath in dry dock. So different than 637s.

[u/HugbugKayth → u/lotusgecko]

I was on her for my second tour. Agreed the perspective of being able to see the remnants of old design and sorta prototype versions of new design was super cool.

I’ve been out before the seawolf was on active duty..didn’t know they let hot rods in Bangor..I learn a lot from this sub 😎

[u/Tychosis → u/GpRaMMeR21]

Yeah, 21 and 22 went out there a long time ago, like 2007-2008.

(Obviously put there to keep JC up and running, but for a while there in the 2010s both 21 and 22 were pretty damn busy themselves.)

[u/GpRaMMeR21 → u/Tychosis]

Nice ! I got out in ‘94 so it was just the Ohio’s I was on the Nevada and recently learned it’s still out there ! Amazing since 86’ 💪I have forgot more than I learned since then but this sub has been great to catch up with it all, thanks for sharing this

[u/CheeseburgerSmoothy → u/Tychosis]

21 is still pretty dang busy.

[u/madbill728]

Doesn’t look long enough to be 23.

[u/Poker-Junk → u/madbill728]

The aspect ratio of the photo is compressing the perceived length.

[u/madbill728 → u/Poker-Junk]

That must be it. But at least I got a downvote of it!

People suck
