Smart thing to do!

Oh, and before anyone decides to start with the submarine jokes, I don't think there are any that I haven't heard or told myself.

Now that's a post that is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.... (LOL)

Do they eat submarine sandwiches on submarines?

Yes, but no take-outs allowed... dine in only.

Hey now, you're someone that should know...

I've always wondered, if you're in a submarine sitting on the bottom of the ocean and flush the toilet, where does it go?

Below you will find pictures of the 2008 World Submarine Championship...








What the hell did you expect?

Now there you go. Later today, that knock on your door will be the FBI coming to question you on why you want to know so much about the design of modern day nuclear submarines....

But to answer your question, the same place it goes when your not on the bottom. Also, unlike the movies, subs don't sit on the bottom (intentionally). Old, diesel subs, maybe. Not anymore.

By the way, you should ask a submariner what a chunky pump is, that will explain a lot

Interesting bit of trivia, thanks.

Actually, the FBI wouldn't bother... besides, they don't know the difference between a submarine and a cuban.

Now if you had mentioned the NSA, that would be scary. They might pull my file from when I had a TS clearance and could make life a little uncomfortable, but they've bigger fish to fry.

Not to worry, though. When I volunteered for subs and got assigned to aviation, I knew the rumor about military intelligence being an oxymoron was true.

I'll just stay under the thermal and wait it out.

Actually there was a submarine made for sitting on the bottom in recent years. The Soviet Typhoon, check out Jane's book of submarines and that will describe some of their abilities and characteristics.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the FBI either, but those in the NSA, DIA, or NCIS I'd then start to worry. Signed enough forms when read out of programs that I know with the wrong then said (if found out) I could be sitting with Mr. John Walker out in Colorado.

Yes, I did eat submarine sandwiches onboard a sub. If a sub was on the bottom and someone used the head, it would still go to the same place (known as the s$!t tank) and it can be pumped or blown from a topside opening.

Yep! Had a short tour aboard a Whiskey class myself... Part of a training exercise to get the "enemy's" point of view as I was in ASW ops. Didn't like the PDCs... can imagine what the real thing would be like. I guess you can figure out this was a long time ago.

I agree. There are threads I'm interested in and then someone submits a post that is totally off the subject and the next thing you know is everyone is slamming each other or talking about some music. I use the forum for knowledge and I find these posts a distraction. Let's stick to insurance.

[robliano]

I agree Mickey, even though this went to submarines, LOL.

[senior-advisor-indiana]

Yes these threads do get pretty rediculous. What a waste of time!
