"One of the products of its combustion is highly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas."

And it smells like almonds when it burns (or is that just what TM's say?).

Yup, but some people can't smell cyanide.  Here's hoping the TMOW isn't one of them.

For those of you concerned about OPSEC much of this information is public.

Two of 'em.  Moored in Goose Creek.

PARCHE (SSN 683) was the last S5W boat to decommission, wasn't it? 

Correct. I have a buddy at Prototype who was on the decommissioning crew.

That's okay grasshopper, it's been 22 years since I drew my last sample,.....

But, gimme' an S5W sink and a reader and I bet you I could pull one today, make all my times, fill out the logs and still work in a cup of coffee on the messdecks before the CDA was done,...

Now that's training!!!,...(or acute brainwashing), thanks Hymie!!! ( I think,  )

PS - do they have S5W's anymore?!?!?

Thanks for the laugh.... Ill read for ya and get your coffee to boot.....

As for S5Ws, they should all be in Hanford by now..... Its the 6G / 8G crowd now  as the oldies and the new kids (Virginni & Seawolfies) on the blocks for the boats... though they still have NR-1

Reading through the posts - it seems like the GW I remember (the sub one) - CO releaved at sea - went down to GC to bring her back to NL

With the fairly little real sea time NR-1 gets she should be around for a while longer
