Los Angeles-class submarine

There's fast attack submarines, which is what I was on.

I was on a Los Angeles class.

I was on three different submarines.

One was a Virginia, I think.

Uh, wonderful stuff, the United States Navy.

And, uh, several days on a Los Angeles class fast attack nuclear submarine.

That was good fun, too.

We were hunting French submarines in the Atlantic Ocean, war games going on.

Fast attack submarines are completely different creatures.

There are still Los Angeles-class submarines in service, more than 30 of them, making this the most numerous class of nuclear-powered submarines in the world.

These submarines hunt other submarines.

They pursue surface ships.

Which as of last year includes accommodations for resupplying US B-2 Spirit strategic stealth bombers, which likewise may or may not be nuclear armed.

And of course, the Royal Australian Navy base HMAS Stirling on the outskirts of Perth, Western Australia, will from next year become the de facto home port of a fleet of five US Virginia and or Los Angeles class.

And if they're ever again seaworthy one UK astute class nuclear powered submarines.

Quote, at present, no US Navy attack submarines carry nuclear weapons.

They've been trying to replace it for 20 years now without success.

Um, the Los Angeles sub was the second to last one that Rickover worked on.

It's still in service.

It was...

So if there are any subs out there that would like us aboard-

Just let us know

... personally I, I would prefer a trip on a Los Angeles or an Ohio or even a Virginia, but, uh, and Dan's looking for a DSV.

But, uh, we're open.
