Hey Mike,
Like to old saying goes; There are only 2 types of ships in the Navy, Submarines and Targets!!!!

Besides think about it, if you're sinking out in the big pond wouldn't you want to be on something that was designed to resurface!?!?

On my last patrol I was standing my last watch as Contact Coordinator and they gave me a picture of the Carl Vincent in our cross hairs, that's the biggest target I've ever seen.
