USS Phoenix SSN-702

Or, as we called her, the Flaming Chicken. Note the ballcap. We were the only boat in the fleet authorized to have something other than dolphins on our covers. If you see a Phoenix ballcap w/o the flaming chicken logo, it is a fake.

The side steamer style paddle wheels make this sub 1000% quieter than a single plankton this sub keeps naval intel officers officers around the world up many nights.


"I've had a really stupid idea, but since they're so big I thought they should be saved from being turned into razor blades by turning them into submersible cruise ships. Who wouldn't want to go for a ride on a Typhoon? "

The Russians use the very high quality steel that they where made of to construct other submarines and warships so they are putting it to good use.
