I am thinking no on the pontiac variant. The only thing they ever had was the Torrent and that was an Equinox clone

reminds me of when my boat did it in 07. Richard Dean Anderson actually rode the boat up there and then the boat was used for the pickup scene in Stargate Continuum. All the naval personnel in that scene are actual crew members of the USS Alexandria SSN 757

def going in on INS. Now way they could get gps under the ice. only sonar and the good ole RLGN to get you there

actually more closely related to the Saab 9000. The 9000 was supposed to be a mild rebadge job and then they went all Swedish on it ass. But I agree way to much dough for that

How the F@#$ did John Young not make this list. The shit show with the Agena’s, the corned beef sandwich incident, and two separate Apollo missions! Then to cap it all off he takes this brand new space shuttle thingy on its first mission and brings it back like a boss!

it appears he is not riding down the dam face but rather the spillway. The spillway, if segregated as this one appears to be, is much less steep than the dam face. This is to let the water flow down smoothly and enter the plunge pool with much less force than a vertical drop to prevent erosion of the underlying river…

I have seen many similar devices this for instance

Subs go into these “deadstick” meaning that the reactor is shut down and the ship is towed in. No getting sucked in. Plus the ship in the picture is already resting its keel on a wooden cradle. if it was going to tip it would have done so a long time before this photo was taken. see the line between the shiny black…

we do but it is only one of the screw types. We have speed screws, shrouded screws, stealth screws, etc. I remember one time in guam the water was so clear that they came over and put a canvas cover over the screw to prevent anyone from seeing it.

Not that they were great looking to begin with but i would say when GM decided they were going to make their minivans try to look like SUV’s.

I had to listen to the recording as part of my sub introduction when I reported to fast boats in 2003 so it is part of fleet training

Because it acts as a sound deaden-er. Think Dynamat for the hull. Stuff is slippery as hell too when you are topside

laminate, and the cheap stuff too!

cities stopped with the Los Angeles class. All fast attacks after have been named after states

here you go

We use CO2 scrubbers with amine as a catalyst. Primary O2 is provided by the Electrolytic Oxygen Generator which splits seawater (desalinated through an evaporator) into O2 for the crew and hydrogen which is expelled into the water through a small vent on the trailing edge of the sail. We do have LiOH canisters which…

there is a small 125hp secondary motor that drops out of the rear part of the hull and can rotate almost 360 to help in docking situations. Further there is a motorized capstan that is on the bow to winch the front end around. These are rarely used if tugs are available though.

I got a pair from the USS Alexandria. Absolutely not active sonar. Subs actually use active very rarely, and not in port. Most times subs rely on their passive sonar. Also the sub is brought in "dead stick" so the reactor and the engines are shutdown meaning it was just towed in.

nope. the fleet is still using lazer gyroscopes
