Chris,

You're going to love this! We named our boat Nautilus as well! We did get some flak (on this forum) for naming it after a submarine or a shellfish that travels under the water, not on top.



I designed the logo myself (I also did the boat one used for this website) and had Main Media (a local sign maker) cut the name out of vinyl.
Mine is an 82 FK SR

Josh.

Melissa,
What is your 1984 TR's hull number? As you can see from the signature, we've also got a 1984 TR. Let me know if you folks ever make it up to Nashville. We'll try to set up a sail, if the weather and respective schedules cooperate.

My wife and I visited the Nautilus and the museum several years ago while on a jaunt to the casino's in Connecticut. I suspect Dave Bristle has also. Audio aides were available and all area's of the sub were available for tour. Very tight quarters. I believe there was reference to the "Thresher" at the museum also. Two sailors were available for questions after you exited the ship.

I actually think that they mean the Admiral was formerly an enlisted person. I wasn't in the Navy, but, in the Air Force, Officers do not receive Good Conduct Medals because good conduct is an expected level of behavior, not something to be rewarded with a decoration. I think that's true for the other branches as well. Hence, officers woold not normally wear the "Good Conduct" stripes. We lowly enlisted folk on the other hand......

What a ridiculous double standard. Glad I don't have to put up with it any more.

They were Chief Petty Officers, CPOs. They wear gold stripes on one sleeve to denote years of honorable service. A stripe for every four years. Some of them might have enough gold stripes to lo be mistaken for an admiral.

In the Navy we called those "Hash Marks" they are colored red until the person reaches 12 years of honorable service. After 12 honorable years the person can switch them to gold. If over 12 years and the person "got caught" as Dave puts it, they would have to switch them back to red. So if you see someone with 3 or more hash marks and they are red that means they got caught.

I never did, I had four gold ones
