During my time on 610 we surfaced on two Med patrols; once for a "back aft" casualty and once for a data transfer to the Dace. |

We had a "back aft" casualty once as well. It was a fire in the bilges in the Engineering compartment but we didn't surface. Just buttoned everything up and sweated in place. After it was put out we came to PD and raised the snorkel to get rid of the smoke. I happened to get caught in the tunnel and had to hang out there wearing a OBA during the entire kerfuffle. Got mighty hot in there I can tell you. The intrepid nukes took care of it and all was well. But, I can't remember whether it was on the 610 or the 624. |
