the sub deck and onto his pages."

USS Hammerhead or The Black Pig
This is the USS Hammerhead, SSN-663, for Submersible Ship Nuclear.
In this photo she is steaming at 20 knots on the surface, all 15,000 shaft
horsepower on-line, 100% reactor power. November 1982, right after
Thanksgiving, I would step aboard for the first time, and - in my mind -
finally realize my full potential.
