“Great show. I got my fish on USS Hawkbill (SSN - 666) 31 years ago and I still remember the since of pride I got with every punch I got to set them into my chest. This show brings back some of the best memories I have through relatable stories and great guests.”

“Some of us know how important the work is. Can’t get enough. All walks of life come together under the ocean. It’s great to hear the different paths that led them to serve. Even better is hearing where they ended up. Keep it up fellas and thanks again for your service.”

“My dad was a Corman based out of the Brooklyn Navy yard circa late 60’s. Due to his top 90% scores he was (highly suggested) asked to do a stint on a sub to see if he liked it. He was put on a diesel trainer, he was a “on the water” guy. I have many many stories and there are a couple books out...”Read full review »

“I am a frustrated sailor, although I sailed on yachts which isn't quite the same. I always fancied going to sea for a career, but on the sea not in it. These podcasts, had they been available when I was leaving school would have attracted me to the submariner career. The advice that Bill got when...”Read full review »

“As I listened to EP 1, my mind went back to my years spent on Carbonero SS 337 and Halibut SGN 587 out of Hawaii.
These days there's not much occasion to talk about those pre-boomer cruises and nobody to talk to about it anyhow.
But I sure enjoyed hearin my two fellow-bubbleheads swappin...”Read full review »
