I have to blame Jules Verne and his novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I also have to blame Irwin Allen and his Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea television show.

(be it ever so hokey) From there my interest graviated towards the real thing and I started reading books about actual submarines and submarine history. Started a lifetime interest in naval history and ships of all kinds to boot.
