Submarine parameters and their meaning

I never carried a MOSS in the 80's and do not remember ever hearing of a SSN carrying one, at least on the boats in Norfolk. Although I admit that there could be some 'special project' stuff going around.

I remember plain as day, in 1984 we were in the Med and worked through the air assets, outlying picket's and inner shell of the ASW screen to 4000yds of the Kiev. Took a bunch of pictures and slinked back out. They never knew.
The dream of our CO was to put a torpedo into the Kiev.... He was like a kid in a candy store.. All he had to say is 'Shoot tube one"...
