Thor, why were they using cough syrup?  Codeine?  I'm trying to wrap my head around why they'd choose that to abuse instead of alcohol.  Do they not have liquor on board?

Allegedly, they had colds. Shortly after that, the San Diego Union Tribune came out with an article alleging that 47% of the Sailors were drug users. A vague reference is made here: http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/misc/chemdep.htm  What I DO recall is that after the crash & the newspaper article, the SHTF in the Navy and the urinalysis programs went full force. People started getting busted for popping positive on the urinalysis. However, they really didn't address alcohol consumption because I had a Division Chief at that time that was an alky. He was as worthless as tits on a boar hog.

Yeah, I had an NCOIC at one of my units that would show up for work drunk as hell, but they never did anything about it.  The Army's substance abuse programs back in the 80's really didn't address alcohol.  As my career came to a close they were getting better at it.

My hubby before I knew him, lived in an apt with a bunch of sailors.  He got up one morning and there was nothing in the fridge but beer.  He drank one in front of the apt open window and some dickhead walking by reported him.  He had to go to counseling.  He hated beer, just drank that because it was all there was.   :lmao:

Ya know, **** you. If you refuse to take my word, a career Sailor, for it, then just **** YOU!! The internet wasn't around in the 80s like it is now and one would be hard pressed to find an article on that incident. I recall it very vividly as I was in HC-1 when it happened. Ohhh, and I have a C.A.R., too.....  Get off your lazy ass and research it yourself.

Sorry about the Charleston ship yard and not Norfork.

I was in Rotten Gotten at the time and was scared out of my pants at all this. New London Ship yard in CT.

I do know the Nathan Hale was in Charlston  port for some time until it moved to EB in Grotten for over haul.

About the Scorpian, I do remember a woman who recieved a letter from her son mailed "Off Boat" saying the boat was headed for the Black Sea to photograph ----Was it Russian or Turkish  comunication towers.   Now this stuck in my head as this one time was the last we heard of her.

Only a sub sailor can tell you if this is true or not but storys in the late 60' to mid 70's some crew talked about the game of ----Chicken, played with some foreign subs.



You must have some pretty ****ing amazing eyesight to be able to see "Hundreds" of family members waiting for an overdue sub at Norfolk from whatever ****ing bar you were hanging in at Grotan all the way up in Connecticut.

If you are going to tell a lie to prove a point DO NOT stand on the graves of dead sailors to make it. Are we TOTALLY ****ING CLEAR HERE?!

You Sir or Madam are a nincome poop.

There is something most different between telling a lie and misremembering something from the past that you witnessed. 

Not only were we able to watch on TV the family's waiting and get updates of the unfolding tragedy but we had newspapers and WSUB radio giving much conflicting information hour to hour.  Groton was a SUB comunity and my navy housing held hundreds of family's with husbands on the boats.

When this happend the dependants of the SSBN my hubby was on kept my phone ringing off the hook as the boat was due to leave for patroll in 48 hours from the Locks in Scottland.[ Blue Crew]

For 3 firkin months we at that time would have no idea if our boat had gone down also.

It is not a frigging lie to get those two ports confused after 40 years or so, and each time the boat was on rotation from Blue to Gold crew we and the crew still had no idea what happend, It was a few years until they found the Scorpion and made us more anxious.
 
Now about history, are you going to tell me there were no race riots aboard ships off the Coast of Nam.??

Go on tell me there was no General in Nam that made his officers salute his pet duck or sent medic evack choppers into Saigon for Pizza.

Then Explain to me the navy ships in the 80's that had a crew of USN sailors and all Officers were Merchant Marine.    Or did I just dream doing an AB rip off and re lagging the engine room on the Kings Port.???

I don't think any nuclear subs have ever been stationed at Charleston. And very few, if any, have ever been in port there.

Actually, plenty have been.  Fast boats and boomers.  But none since the 1980's.
