Well third man we don't want to run you off or anything ... lots of people know about submarines and things you are interested in, right here on subsim.
This is from four years ago about water jets:

How big was the gyro? What kind of question is that? I use to walk by it all the time back in nav land, but dog gone if I know how big it is.
I can tell you one thing though the electronic clock that made it all work was just a plug in item under the nav table. While kicking his legs one day the navigator accindently unplugs the sins clock. Talk about confusion ... we had to surface and take sightings to correct the time being off for a few minutes. I reckon thats unclassified by now forty years later lol
Got any unclassified sea stories for us ETR3 (SS)
