Default New/Old sub pics

I was cleaning out boxes yesterday and found these pics of a DSRV and an LA class boat pulling into Mare Island circa 93-94.

DSRV



LA class sub







The flag I always flew when taking these pictures:



My ex-wife was working at Mare Island at the time.

That's not a Los Angeles-class sub. It's USS Parche (SSN 683), a Sturgeon-class boat heavily modified for special ops. She was based at Mare Island for many years before being re-located to Bangor. Parche was decommissioned in 2004.
