When I was in the navy, most submarines still carried Mark 8 torpodoes, first commissioned in 1927. The torpedo that sunk the Belgrano was a Mark 8.

We carried more modern, guided torpedoes too, but the Mark 8 was considered more reliable.

Hey! My action station was torpedo-guider!

The harbor is always smaller than I imagined/remember and looking at the technology shown in the museum there (torpedoes etc…) reminds just how far and how fast technology has advanced.

The Missouri still stands proud and looks great.

I had a backlog of, like, 8 things I wanted to blog about but the backlog was becaming oppressive. I deleted the backlog on Wednesday and then by Thursday, I was fresh and read to post again!

One of the casualties was a post I started last year about my days on a submarine. It was gonna be marvellous. You would’ve enjoyed it.
