thanks to the truk driver and his son who runs the site for caching it before it destroyed it note the alcohol containers site next to the boat and the nitro is just behind it
the couse is deemed to be a battery short if i remember correctly

robt46

Hey thanks for the info. Great stuff. This is cool. Never thought of Dragboats. Although I've seen some races on TV. I'll have to go to a race. Now you did it. Got me courious. This is trouble. Wifey isn't gonna like this. I'll have to check this Drag boat stuff out. Stay in touch. Thanks Robt.

robt46

I spent a nice part of my life in the military, primarily attached to nuclear submarines. I took alot of photos but they were all classified until recently. Here are some that are now declassified. Some unique shots with a panorama camera as well. Welcome to my world....

My sub, the USS Helena on left, in Pusan Korea. South Korean diesel sub on right.


two members on board loading a MK-48 Torpedo


inside Sonar. This is what a real sonar screen looks like, not those stupid ones on tv.


Inside Fire Control, where the VLS tomahawks and harpoons are launched


panoramic picture of bearthing, 3 men per bed. sharing sucks.


panoramic pic of the con. FC on left, periscopes in middle, helm on the right


from the sail, exiting port at Holy Loch Scotland


last boat i was attached to, the USS Providence

robt46

Great shots. Man you can really see the difference in old and new. Great shot from the Con. Do they say that anymore? Love the torpedo! Bang bang. Hehe. Robt.

Nitroaddict

yeah - we still say that. nice drag boat pic at the bottom. my father used to race flat bottom drag boats in the 60s

robt46

Hey Nitro, I like that one myself... those Sub pics are great. Got any more. Guess you can't just take shots of anything without them being cleared. How do they do that. Do you have to ask first. Guess there's a lot that are off limits. Hehe. Don't want to give anything away. Especially nowadays. Anyways I got somemore pics but I don't know if I could post them. Might get beeped. Robt.
