Boomers!!

While stationed on Guam I was assigned to a floating drydock.. 90% of what we docked was SSBN's
Any time something bigger than the hatch needed to be removed for service members of our crew would cut a hole in the side of the sub.... I'd hate to be on the first test dive after leaving the drydock.... At least the water wasn't very deep in that part of the ocean.... Not like the Marianas Trench was right there...

We did a couple sonar dome replacements as well.... Most people don't know the nose of a sub is made of 5" thick fiberglass...

This was about four or five years after I left the drydock

The sonar domes we replaced weren't quite this bad.... Amazing this thing made it home...

Yeah, the first dive out of dry dock is always a nail biter. You can tie a string tight across the port and starboard side of the sub when on the surface and by the time you reach test depth it is hanging on the floor.

Car Jackets. They're like a sandwich bag, with a zipper, drive them on, prep 'em with some desiccant placed inside the car and bag, and close it up. My garage is insulated, but no heat. Like to put them away by Thanksgiving, and open them up after the thaw in Spring, when the uncovered metal in the garage stops sweating. They work pretty well...
