Submarine Graveyard

[mikerault]

Not really dive related, but I thought the pictures where neat. I guarentee these went deeper than most of us ever will. It is a sculture in Seattle, Washington (Magnuson Park) using the dive planes from de-commissioned submarines to look like a pod of Orcas. Both of the submarines (USS John Adams SSBN 620 and USS Bergall SN 667) I served on in the Navy contributed their dive planes to this sculpture. That is me next to the sail plane from the USS John Adams.

Cool pics, Mike...

Didn't know you were a submariner...

Very nice pictures. I didn't know you are a submariner either. A man of many talents.

How is your wife doing? It was a pleasure to meet you both at Jocassee last year.

She will be finishing up the OW cert soon. We plan on doing a Monterey dive later this year.
