GROTON, Conn. — After a midlife makeover, the USS Toledo fast-attack submarine is returning to service under its new commanding officer, native Toledoan Michael Majewski.
But like those who led the boat before him, don’t expect Commander Majewski to speak in much detail about his vessel’s exploits when he returns to his hometown — or when, in perhaps three years or so, he stands on the same dais in this southeastern Connecticut town to be relieved by the Toledo’s 10th captain.
“I would love to tell you the stories from our missions … but that would break every classification rule in the book if I did,” Cmdr. Sam Geiger, Commander Majewski’s predecessor in that role, said Friday during a Change of Command ceremony at the U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London here.
He could only note that the USS Toledo was just five days’ sail away from its Groton homeport at the end of its most recent overseas deployment when it got new orders to turn around and respond to an emerging world crisis that extended that six-month tour by a month.

I always go to the front page of subsim for the latest news ... this one was a real winner the captain of the USS Toledo going back on patrol saying
"I wish I could tell you the stories from our missions ... but that would break every classification rule that the navy has"
My suggestion is for a forum at subsim that only talks about the front page news and is limited to that section for comments.
I know there is one called Sub & Naval Discussions, but it is never very busy and has other items and hardly ever does it talk about the news on subsim front page.
That is all ... over and out :up:
