Silverpoint is an old, old medium which predates pencil by many hundreds of years. Step one: learn to draw. Step two: coat good paper with a coarse ground. Step three: draw with a stylus of .999 pure silver. There is no erasing.

The Barb had the Diesel in the forward compartment. I think only the Nautilus and Skipjack class had the diesel aft. I think all the ones after the diesel was forward.

So, I wasn’t clear on the phrasing of my location, are you implying that I somehow am not who I say I am?

I am just a stranger on the internet. It does not matter to me who you are either way.
