well. hes got a mask and flippers, i guess in case he gets washed overboard cause he doesnt appear to be tethered.

my guess is hes trying to unfoul something. something got hung up around the aft emergency access hatch or towed array housing.

thats my guess. *shrug*

:-?

[Pigfish]

Lost his wallet maybe? "Just a couple more minutes Captain!"
:-j

[XabbaRus]

Dunno what he is doing but I can tell you the class of sub.

It's a Sturgeon Class SSN.

[TLAM Strike]

Mail Buoy gag on the new guy... :lol:

[Amizaur]

Were Sturegons covered with aneoching coatings ? Because on the left of this guy there is something that lookes like a piece damaged rubber coating, scraped from the hull by something ?

Most likely. Anechoic coatings of some kind have existed since the second world war.

[DivingWind]

...and the sub is moving rather fast,dont you think? :hmm:

[MaxRiga]

Anybody got an idea ?

yes

.... he is sinking .....

[SteamWake]

Mail bouy gag :P :lol:

I know one thing for shure he is doing and that would be risking his life.

[Fish]

Scrubbing the deck for punishment, undoubtedly! :rotfl:

[Hartmann]

Captain !! we have a somebody out of the sub !!

Is a greenpeace ecologist trying to tie himself with a chain to the sub. :rotfl:

Or a engineer repairing some rubber tiles from the hull.

[Shock Troop]

Locked himself out and lost the keys. I've done it a dozen times myself. Sooooooo embarassing. :lol:

[Kapitan]

looks like a seal stuck on the seck only thing that worries me is that 16 foot propellor is turning if he falls in he is going to be mince meat i hear propellers have more suck than a dyson vacumme cleaner

[LuftWolf]

Yes, good eyes, that big object behind him, that the sailor is looking at, with the spray coming off of it, does look kind of like a seal. :o

[JetSnake]

Looks photoshopped. :lol:

[Kapitan]

i doubt it is photo shopped

[OneShot]

If its Photoshopped, then its one hell of a good job.

[SteamWake]

It does look a little like he is tethered. See the goofy diaper he is wearing ?

What is that red thing that appears to be hanging from his chin ?

[LuftWolf]

I don't want to know what's hanging from anyone's chin on a submarine... :rotfl: :P

[OneShot]

It looks like a red light stick. Or it could be a line to activate the vest he is wearing. Tho its at a kinda odd place for that.

[Wim Libaers]

Searching his contact lenses.

[Hobnail]

Let me back in goddamnit! This isn't funny!!

[sonar732]

As a former sonarman...I'm worried about the chock (sp?) that is letting water run over it. :o In fact, it looks like that's what he's concentrated on. He is tethered as you can see the black straps wrapped around his hips.

[OneShot]

I compared it with one of the pictures Bill has put in his package. Looks like a "poller" (german - I'm not sure on the english word for it right now) the thing where you fix the lines when in port for example.

[Bellman]

Some maybes ?

Scrubbing barnacles off.
Putting up a washing line.
Using a plunger on the wc. outlet.
Washing the front step.
Committing suicide.
Making a protest.
Needs 'shore-leave'
Drunk.
Drugged.
Gone mad with **that** sonar noise.
Inflating a rubber dinghy.
Fed-up with silly bl**dy questions.

Anyway who cares ? He's an idiot ! :-j

[Kapitan]

lol nice way of putting it
