At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy.

Thanks for keeping the obits up to date Owen.

At any rate, having completed 85 spins around the sun and my son 65, I have to say I never thought Id make it with my family’s history, but here I am. My son was born when I was in sub school. I got to see him a week later. I’m 20 years older than him.

Due to balance issues after a stroke I had 16 years ago, I’m having to walk with a cane when outside, but thats not too bad.

Ian, keep your stories coming. You have a great way with words.
