40:00 on tape - on the attack subs, they had to surface every 6 to 8
hours to make sure they did not miss any radio messages
on the boomers they trailed a wire that kept them in constant comms
boomers usually traveled approx 300 feet down
this guy gives lots of info about going to annapolis and nuke
engineering school and daily life on the subs
west coast - continental shelf is right next to coast
east coast - continental shelf can be 100 miles off shore
new nuke subs in usa can run 33 years without being refueld but they
got ?30 billion to build
if you watch maybe the first 20 minutes you get the basic idea
not sure what he talks about in the 2nd half of the video
