My corpsman (Boat Doctor) saved my life after we went underway my appendices burst, I was the ICLPO, he kept me alive while the Uss John C. Calhoun turned around and dropped me off a Cape Canaveral Hospital. Actually, the most expensive Ambulance ride ever. and My Boat Doctor kept me alive.

Marine salutes to the Trident crew! Proud and honored to have served you in my younger days.

For those mindboggled by the Type III's (green cammies), they're the general working uniform for all Navy personnel on shore. No, they didn't phase it out for the blend-in-the-ocean issue; more so because the Type IIIs were lighter and more fire resistant than the Type IIs (blue cammies). Rather than remaking the blues with the more fire resistant material, the Navy just made everyone get the greens that were already stockpiled.

Furthermore, they wear fire resistant coveralls underway (out at sea). That sub is most likely at port doing maintenance.

Respect and appreciation to our current submarine sailors from a nuc attack submarine sailor (1970-1976).
One can tell from how these men talk they are very knowledgeable and professional in what they do.
God Bless our Navy nuclear submarine crews...

Those camo uniforms are dead useful whenever sailors need to hide in seaweeds.

A friend of mine served on board the Nimitz as a Nuc ET, but he wanted sub duty. He tried to get in, but the review board for crew selection failed him. Turned out he had one bad habit they didn't like.
He liked to sleep with the windows open.

Nice to see the crew is wearing the right gear for taking the sub through dense jungle.

Men and women keeping America safe, thank you!

The sailors really blend into the submarine with their camos on. It's so hard to see them.

I was stationed at Bangor Washington in 1982, when the 1st Trident boat arrived. I can remember the Coast Guard turning 2 1/2 inch fire hoses on little boats and sinking them because they wouldn’t get out of the way, then the Coast Guard would scoop the, out of the water and cuff them. There was a ship that came from Australia the wizard of something, a green peace ship. The Coast Guard arrested everyone onboard and hand cuffed them on the fantail. Every Wednesday was protest day at the front gate and we would have to use another gate to get on base. It was the best duty I had in 6 years of service.

I had the opportunity to tour the ‘USS Florida’ about 30 years ago as a Scoutmaster with a scout troop, I’m not sure who was more fascinated the adults or the scouts. Very interesting for sure.

Served with then FT1 Skramstad on the Henry M Jackson back in the day. Good to see him still holding down the fort...

What happened to dungarees? Camo on a submarine or for Air force is a waste of money.
