The incredible shrinking submarine
Friday, October 10, 2008 by The Chief.
The USSVI held a sleep-over onboard the USS Pampanito, this week. We started with a fantastic dinner of Italian Sausages, Roast Pork, and Linguine (and an adult beverage or two) on the pier. Many true stories were shared, and lost boats and shipmates were remembered. A submarine-movie marathon was held in the crew’s mess. Rumor has it that there was some snoring going on in the After Battery, but I didn’t notice it.
The next morning, we were treated to SOS before heading topside for Quarters, Morning Colors, and a Tolling the Boats ceremony. Everyone who went had a great time.
I look forward to going back, but maybe I’ll try to get a middle rack. It’s much harder to get into the upper racks since they shrank the passageway between the racks. They also seem to have shrunk the doors on the boat.
