At random: A typical modern submarine may require as many as 2,000 working drawings for the more than 7,000,000 items used in its construction. Blueprints from these drawings if placed end to end would make a strip 250 miles long.

The above link goes to the USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc.) Facebook page where their members who have gone on “Eternal Patrol” are noted.

I’ll keep my work here going, trying to get others who were not USSVI members. You’re encouraged to look there as well as here! Obviously, there’ll be some I miss and some I duplicate.

LULL .. .. .. Edward W. Lull was born in North Wales, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Upstate New York.
He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1955 and began a twenty-year Navy career, serving primarily in submarines. He earned a master’s degree from The George Washington University in 1969. After retiring from the Navy in 1975, he began a second twenty-year career in small consulting firms in the Washington, D.C. area, in the fields of manpower management systems and personnel administration. Subsequently, he served as president and chairman of a not-for-profit organization, The Professional Group, affiliated with George Mason University.
Mr. Lull began his writing career in 1997 as a member of The Williamsburg Poetry Guild. He joined The Poetry Society of Virginia in 1998, and was elected Vice President, Eastern Region in 1999. After serving two one-year terms, he was elected President of the Poetry Society of Virginia (PSV) in 2001 and served four one-year terms. He later served as an Executive Director of the Society. Starting in 2000, he organized and ran three-day Annual Poetry Festivals in Williamsburg involving poetry workshops, seminars, open readings, and readings by featured poets. He organized and ran the Saturday Poetry Series in Williamsburg for many years. He was also a member of an essayist organization, The Emerson Society of Williamsburg where he wrote and presented essays.

In 2000, he edited a book entitled Vintage Wine and Good Spirits, and contributed ten poems to it. His first published book, Cabin Boy to Captain: A Sea Story, a historical novel set in Elizabethan England, written in blank verse, was published in 2003. His second, Where Giants Walked, a compendium of forty poems, was published in 2005, and was nominated for Virginia Poetry Book of the Year. With Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, Poet Laureate of Virginia, he co-edited Four Virginia Poets Laureate: A Teaching Guide in 2006. He went on to publish and co-publish many additional books.

DUNN .. .. .. David Allen Dunn of Midwest City, Oklahoma passed away Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at the age of 66. David was born in Austin, Texas on January 28, 1958, to Charlotte and Thomas Dunn. He is preceded in death by his father, Thomas Dunn, and stepfather, Jack West. He is survived by his mother, Charlotte West, brothers Darrel and Doug Dunn, his son Kyle and daughter-in-law, Kelsey, nieces Stephanie and Becky, nephew Jacob, and granddaughter, Rayne.
David was born into a military family and spent some of his childhood in Germany and France, where his father was stationed. When his father's deployment ended, they returned to Texas where David grew up voraciously reading, and spending time outdoors at his grandfather's farm. David graduated from Leander High School and joined the Navy soon after. David served for 18 years in the Navy, traveling across the world. He served on nuclear submarines, sub tenders, and even spent time teaching. He greatly enjoyed his time in the military but chose to retire early after the birth of his son. After his retirement from the Navy, David settled in Midwest City with his then-wife, Sheila. He started a career as an RV Technician, working for Lee's RV, Leisure Time RV, and eventually Camping World.
David was an intelligent man, a wonderful father, a loving son and brother, and so much more. Those who knew him knew his exacting standards of workmanship, his no-nonsense attitude, and his quick and dry sense of humor. Those who worked in the shop with him also knew his love of Pink Floyd and Celtic Woman, having listened to them on repeat for weeks at a time. He would do anything for the people he cared about, and though he was as stubborn as a mule and his temper was legendarily short, he was just as quick to help whenever he was needed.
He will be greatly missed.
In accordance with David's wishes, he will be cremated and buried at sea.

Rick had a love of Harley Davidson, old trucks, handguns and power tools. He loved his family and was always thinking about how he could help them. Rick had a wicked sense of humor that was shared with his friends and family.
