USN Vet needed for realism

[SeanGregory]

I need some information from someone who is or has served in the US Navy, specifically submarines, If you're willing to share your knowledge on the subject I'd greatly appreciate if you'd drop me a message so I can respond with my questions.

Thanks!

I haven't been in the Navy, but I've always had an amateur interest in ships, including warships. I just happened to read this this artilce about submarines. I might not be able to answer your specific questions, but I might be able to point you in the right directions. There may indeed be veterans on here with first-hand experiences.

You might try sending a PM to @PicassosPleasure, @jeff_is_smiling or @mynameisben. They’ve all mentioned spending time in the Silent Service. Good luck.

Reach out to @Seadog777, he's the only squid I know onboard the SS Literotica.

All my Navy knowledge comes from Youtube videos.

I'm assuming he wants accurate information.

As a vet, but not the sort you need, I appreciate you reaching out to find help to make your story authentic and accurate. Way to go.

Military based erotica? Men in uniforms? Please link me when the story is done

Why would anyone need a vet on a submarine? For helping whales in distress? Or is it for the captain's parrot?

I retired in 2009 and served 26 years in US Submarine service. I also edit for a couple of friends here on LIT and am willing to answer any questions that are not in any classified realm!

Forgive me for picking nits. It Lit was a warship, it would be USS Literortica. (United States Ship.) SS was for civilian ships - SS being "steam ship." Except, most of them have diesel-electric propulsion now. One that was called "MV" (Motor Vessel) but I doubt that is used any longer.

Since I've been so annoying , I'll offer an interesting channel. (He does warships too.)

Even the biggest subs are a bit cramped to get away with anything sexual. The biggest warships around are aircraft carriers.

The Village People got away with using a real ship (a destroyer, I think) but maybe it's a museum ship. I'd like to know the back story of this video's production.

Maybe submarines need a vet when they’re carrying SEALs?

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Everybody knows War Thunder forums are the place to go for the classified stuff.

They actually used a retired World War II sub in Down Periscope. I guess if a movie production looks hard enough, they can find almost anything. At least if has Harry Dean Stanton in it.

For Operation Petticoat, the Department of Defense was kind enough to lend three subs to portray the one in the movie.

Reminds me that Thomas Andrews, a managing director of Harland and Wolff, was on the Titanic's maiden vovage. He wasn't just there for the ride; he spent his days checking everything on the ship and making notes. The "delivery" isn't complete until the customer is happy,

A couple of weeks before that, there were "sea trials" to test a new ship. Then it went down to the port of Southampton. But I think White Star had to send a crew to Belfast to do all that; the shipyard wouldn't bring it down to you.

The Navy loaned Cher a battleship and crew for her video. Apparently they didn't know about her wardrobe choices...

It was the Missouri, which was still in service at the time. I assume something was paid for that use of the ship, so probably that was more important her wardrobe choices.

Turn back time? She was about 42 when filming that and now she's 77.

No, it wasn't. The Navy wasn't pleased...
