i actually got to drive/steer the USS Tennessee. no shit. spent the night on it. bunks were between the nuke silos. feet rested on it. obv couldn't sleep, so went up top with men on watch and just watched the sea, ships, and stars. hearing them announce to nearby ships they were the USS Warship Tennessee and then order them to change course steering them further away gave me goosebumps - still does. a b1 bomber was doing exercises and saw us and they probably aren't used to them being above sea level often so it no shit made a dive towards us fucking around. we did go under, capt would only say we could do 800 feet which is where we went and did V shaped turns a few times and then surfaced again. remarkable young men serving on those things.
