Aspman: I've been on a couple of them. Both my Dad and Step Dad were stationed on nuke subs. (SSBN) I recently got to see one in dry dock on the Bangor Base out in Washington State... wow!!!
Amazing ships... but the insides are so small. It'd be hard to imagine spending 6 months on those things under the ice! My pop is always telling me stories about them. He's got some awesome pics too.

My brothers godfather is still active and takes me down to them when I'm in town.
If you get a chance... check out the torpedo rooms... that may or may not contain nuclear warheads.. lol Man, I got to see a LOT of stuff I shouldn't have been able to see. He is in very high places... I'm surprised they let me in. Both of us were in plain clothes and they were saluting us (well, him really).
I wonder if they "Hot Bunk" on those,
My pop talked about that too. Luckily he didn't have to, but there were plenty of people on the ship that did.
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
