#1 Didn't I see a Russkie sub in the bay on Stargate SG-1? They had to blow it up because the replicators sliced and diced the Russian crew. Big international incident.

#2 Its new berth is just a couple of blocks north of the aircraft carrier Midway, which it probably shadowed in the Pacific when the two were part of the Cold War chess game played by the United States and Soviet Union.

I need to make it down to SD sometime in my life. Most of the local naval facilities I remember when I was much younger here are no more, and I miss seeing the hardware every now and then. (Dad worked at Mare Island and an uncle was in the MSTS)

#3 FoxTrot hunting the Midway. :)

In decent condition the Midway would be superior to any other surface ship on earth outside the US Navy.

#5 both museums are very cool - Alaska Paul and I had lunch around Christmas at Anthony's on the waterfront, walked down to check out the HMS Surprise (from Master and Commander movie fame) and the Star of India bark, and he and his family took the Midway tour...good time

#6 Ima gonna have to do the lunch and sub tour sometimes, Frank, when the sub gets set up.

I wonder if they welded up the sub during some hairy cold war missions (heh).
