I have many interests, so this is going to be a blog on lots of subjects. Submarines, my family, history, books I read, the space programme, archaeology, astronomy, current events, the occasional joke.... Just don't expect any politics, sports or deep philosophy, and we should get along fine.

Surfacing through the ice
This short (1:44) video is labeled "US Submarine breaking through the Ice," but it's actually a Brit sub - HMS Tireless (S88).
Here's a similar short (1:12) video showing USS Alexandria (SSN 757).
Always wanted to do something like this, but never got a chance. Another thing I wish I could have done is spend a winter in Antarctica - one of the guys I worked with on the skimmer had come from there.
H/T to Bubblehead at The Stupid Shall Be Punished.
Awesome.
