100% of the time, I will focus binoculars in the wrong direction first.

I take it as a former Submariner, you didn't see much 'bridge duty' 🤓🤣

I did NOT. Radiomen were usually all hands in the Radioshack while surfaced. I went up in the bridge while going to sea maybe twice? Some dudes were up there all the time, though.

😱😱😱 I am claustrophobic as hell. I’d be the person that goes crazy in the horror movie “Submarine Zombie”

😂 It's like being in the biggest RV you've ever been in... without windows.

Back in the 80's I was one of the lucky few to be able to tour a nuclear sub during Fleet Week in S.F. You just needed your D.L. to prove Citizenship back then.(Right after us, they decided it prob.wasn't a good idea, & didn't do any more tours) Very cool! Even got to look through the periscope 😄

That's very cool. You don't happen to recall the boat name, do you?

It was! They also took us out around the bay at full speed on their river rat boats. THAT was fun. Had to sign your life away & hang on for dear life, lol. Ahhh ...the good ole days!

That's fantastic. They don't seem to do anything like that stuff anymore.

And usually jam them into my eyes and/or hit them in my nose - literally minor injuries by binoculars… How is that even possible? Haven’t lost any teeth yet luckily
