Please allow me to introduce you to the USS South Dakota https://kelo.com/news/articles/2018/oct/24/uss-south-dakota-to-be-commissioned-feb-2-2019/ https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/a25780066/uss-south-dakota-americas-newest-nuclear-submarine/
there are a few other names to look at as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_submarines
I thought about going with the submarine service when I joined the Navy but I like to sleep with the window open...
The world longest submarine is Russian https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/a27243915/russia-launches-belgorod-the-worlds-longest-submarine/
There is a U.S.S. New Mexico submarine whose motto is Defendemos nuestra tierra and whose galley is named after a Las Cruces restaurant. We're all quite proud.
The USS New Mexico is a Virginia class submarine based where? Where? That's right, Groton Connecticut!
a different kind of submarine story https://www.thedrive.com/news/28167/midwest-flooding-re-floats-historic-wwii-submarine-for-the-first-time-in-decades?fbclid=IwAR3lZ7F33N6Icajj2VhSAFSmp5vSh8qhJowBDeuMzCp2SQ68R4TMgOpZc5g&utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark
OK, this is not a submarine at all but it's pretty impressive https://www.cnet.com/pictures/meet-the-navys-new-13-billion-aircraft-carrier/?ftag=ACQ0249d8e&vndid=fark
they're finally getting around to getting rid of those props https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31708/veteran-sonarman-explains-why-pump-jets-are-superior-to-props-on-modern-submarines
The USS CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI was initially going to be called the USS CORPUS CHRISTI. Substsncial uproar about calling a weapon of war the "Body of Christ," led to the name change. The powers that be decided to make clear the boat was named after the Texas city, and not Our Lord.
Actually, the city ought to consider a name change. I can just imagine naming a new Reform Jewish congregation there...
Yeah, cavitation is the issue and has been since WWII but not just for the noise it makes. A cavitating propeller is susceptible to erosion and that's a very big deal.
Speaking of submarines, perhaps the most audacious one I've ever heard of was from the end of the second world war when the Japanese built a submarine that was also an underwater aircraft carrier:
Actually the Jewish community appears to have thrived in Corpus Christi for years https://www.isjl.org/texas-corpus-christi-encyclopedia.html
Yeah, I'm not sure whether the submarine was as impressive as those underwater aircraft (insert groan)
