Ex Navy Civil Engineer Corps 1963-1967. Sailed a desk in the Air Training Command for 3 years. Only blue water experience was a 10 day reserve cruise on DD 779 Douglas H. Fox in 1963 out of Norfolk. Good memory in spite of the seasickness.

I was a skimmer on DD's, then I saw the light and went to submarines (Gudgeon SS-567, the first submarine to circumvent the world)

There are two kinds of ships.......Submarines and TARGETS!

I'm not. I was nominated to the Naval Academy in 1966, but denied because of poor eyesight. I started covering miltary affairs as an independent producer for CBS in 1968, and continued until 1978.

I'll agree you were the first submarine to circumnavigate the world but I know you were not the quickest! In 1958 the USS Skate (SSN57 circumnavigated the world by crossing all lines of longitude at a distance of several miles of the north pole in a matter of hours.
