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. |

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. |

Don't know if you heard about it Chris, but on the 610 we surfaced one night mid-patrol to off load a guy who was found unconscious by the 400 cycle generator in AMR1. Apparently he was electrocuted while servicing it. As I recall he was a nuke EM2 so I'm not sure why he would be doing that? I'm not sure where we were but the injection temp. was really cold and it happened sometime in 1964, I think; not really sure about that either -- could have been '65. But, I do remember the guy's name . . . which I do find weird. Never heard any more about him after that. But, not long ago I saw his photo posted on line from a 610 reunion so I guess he made it. He was a good guy so I was glad to see that photo. |

We surfaced once on the 659 during the 70s. Middle of the med, middle of a moonless night, with no running lights, to cut away the fishing net and cables entangled in the fair water planes.

This is NOT an SSBN...
It's essentially an SSN... A really BIG SSN... Edited by Curt - 02 Apr 2018 at 1:55pm |

I heard that the SSBN's spend a lot less time on alert than we did. Don't know the program for the SSGN's. |

Gone are the days when a Boomer would NOT surface for any reason..
the US Navy submarine USS Georgia off Cartagena, Spain, the country’s maritime safety agency Salvamento Maritimo said. As informed, the medical evacuation was carried out in the morning hours of March 28. Salvamento Maritimo said the crewman was evacuated as it lost his hand. However, the agency has not disclosed any further details. |
