Mad mad mad!

An S-2T "Turbo Tracker" and a close encounter with an snorkeling submarine.

Note the extended MAD probe.

I don't see any ordnance being dropped :)

What nationality do you reckon the submarine is? :hmmm:

Cool photo, they probably were doing some testing of the MAD or something.

Most likely the ordinance would be delivered by another platform.

Is that a MAD boom or are you just happy to see me?

I think it is an Argentine TR-1700.

Something i have wondered about. Enlisted crewmen always seem to be wearing life jackets when they're on deck but I never see officers wearing them. Why is that?

If an officer falls in the water he can't drown. His head will always stay above the water because wood floats.

Because they never go anywhere that puts them at risk, that's why you have the working class to do the dirty jobs while you sip your tea!

Actully, it can be dangerous to have a lifewest on side the sub. So since the officers are not on deck - they should not wear one.
