That’s right. It was fancy salad greens with raisins, dried cherries, dried cranberries, and walnuts. Garnished with Stilton cheese (extra stinky!) and a vinegarette(sp?) dressing. YUM!

Sounds tasty, but why worry about the spelling of vinaigrette when the thread title spells naval like an orange?

Comrades:
Albacore was diesel electric. It was ultimately done in by the unreliability of its unusual engines. But it was used to test all kinds of exotic technology, some of which made it into later nuclear boats. It's sort of a submarine x-plane. Totally cool and I hope I get to see it someday . . . in the summer.

That's right (and Captain Beach had nothing nice to say about pancake diesels.) Yet she wasn't struck from the list until 1980. What's significant about her is that she was the first boat or ship to have a dolphin shaped hull and was strictly a research ship as suggested by her hull number, AGSS-569. She went to sea in a variety of configurations and spent a large amount of time in dry-dock getting refit with every new idea to try out. A ship truly designed to be a submarine rather than a regular boat that could submerge and she was actually faster fully submerged than on the surface; a completely new experience for the Silent Service. On a side note I think the last boat to go down the ways with the traditional shape was the Seawolf, SSN-575, sister to the Nautilus SSN-571 (but I might wrong about that). I would never have guessed that I would be "talking" submarines on a Recketry forum. :-)
