If you have military hair, dress in business casual or above, aren't visibly stupid and have a really big watch, that's pretty much that.

As time goes on and your military bearing fades then it will stop.

gleep glop has a screen door in his sub

~~Don't slam the loving door you useless crank nub bitch~~

Why the gently caress was there a screen door to the scullery anyway? Seems like the stupidest noise transient you could possibly add to a submarine

So, did they ever re-open that torrent for you or what? I need closure, dude

Suck another and find out. That custom red title is about as old as my account. Closure is for victims and.children.

This was a while back, but you've been lied to by someone embarassed about their lovely radar operators.
I picked up a 668 (I think it was the USS San Juan) head on at 11 nm in choppy seas on a civilian grade furuno set, and I'm not good at radars. :colbert:

I think this was shortly after they surfaced at the 12 nm territorial limit as well, the contact was faint but persistent in the sea clutter.

You picked up a surfaced ship broadcasting their location over a variety and frequencies? As far as you can tell? What gave away that it was a 688 vs. The seawolf? How do you know you're not retarded?

totally picked up a 668 bro

Persistent. Stupid. Civilian. Proof. 668!!!!


Obviously you were just lied to. The other day I caught the USS THRESHER off the coast, putting around without a care. I know because I saw a radar signal that resembled Hyman Richmond's foreskin but disappeared without a moile!

The fact we were meeting up with them to escort them to port? I'm not saying I classified it based on the echo. Snowden was implying surfaced subs are difficult to track on radar, my point was just that although they're harder to track than an FFG they're not exactly invisible.

What you wrote suggests you classified them as a 668 surfaced submarine radar signal and that anyone who couldn't do the same is inept. Congrats on picking up a signal of a ship whose bearing and destination were known. You are a human penis.

Also way to classify whatever you saw as the boat you were expecting. Good luck picking it out of a highly trafficked channel. Jesus Christ.
