On TV; Scrapping a Typhoon!

[Rogue Sub]

HA HA HAH AH HAHAHH

HA HA HAH AH HAHAHH AHAH HA HAH HAH HAHH Im not so sure about that one Ivan! I can tell you that it is very cool back there. That door you always have to stop at... right on the other side of that is the top of the reactor core vessel. Its really crazy stuff. A guy actually stood watch there on the first boats. Oh the improvements we've made!

I remember the first time

I remember the first time I visited her there were ice baracades on the sides of the hull by the reactor area. They are gone now. BD.
BTW- We could end up with our own glow in the dark mad Russian 8-ball.

Well then Kevin, how about

Well then Kevin, how about some photos? Or it that off limits too....

You know what I never

You know what I never asked. Perhaps I will on monday But I bet I can make a guess

[Rogue Sub]

Oh that reminds me... Did

Oh that reminds me... Did you guys know there is talk of putting the NR1 over there when its done getting the core ripped out.

[casey thrower]

I take it that the

I take it that the reactor is still in the Nautilus? Minus the control rods and core?

Just like the typhoon that

Just like the typhoon that was on tv.

DAVE,

DAVE,
About those so called "ice barracades" on the Nautilus hull. That is one of several bum dope items the museum crew used to put out about the Nautilus.
They were actually mounts for a large low frequency sonar array that the Underwater Sound Lab (USN-USL) had mounted on the hull. If memory serves me it was the BRASS II array. It was also carried on the USS Tigrone AGSS 419. It was used for low freq long range propagation studies. This was one of the last programs the Nautilus was involved in.
Speaking of ice I wish you Rochester folks would stop sending all your excess snow and ice to CT.

Sorry Bob, http://www.subcommittee.com/forum/icon_rolleyes.gif
You can

Sorry Bob,
You can blame Tony for that one!
He said he missed the 8-balls so much we thought the snow would remind him of us. BD.

It's melting now please don't send any more.

All,

Brass II! Hah! We

All,

Brass II! Hah! We used to refer to it as an old mattress frame when mounted on those two boats. All it really did was make Tigrone even uglier, and Nautilus look like a wannabe little sister! The thing looked a lot like an old WWII assault craft rocket launcher. Must have been noisy as hell, too!

As to public touring the Nautilus engineering spaces; Not in this lifetime!!!

Did anybody notice while they

Did anybody notice while they describing the ripping apart of the steel plates forming the outer hull or casing in the scrap yard the "CAT" logo on the boom of the metal schredder.Hows that for a message as to who builds the best!!!!!!!

I wouldn't expect to get too close to the NR-1 either. Last I remembered she was pretty warm if you know what I mean. Even if they pulled the reactor completely out you still wouldn't be able to go on board because of the machinery space. That would also keep it from being set up on shore like the X-1. Along with some other stuff I'm not at liberty to discuss.
