Yep, I used to sleep between two of those silos in Missile Compartment 2nd Level. The Tennessee lobbed one earlier in the week. Not sure what Boat this one came from. I got to launch torpedoes off Hawaii in the range, but we never did a SLBM launch. The most impressive is a DESO, where multiple birds fly in succession from the Boat...really rocks the Boat from what I hear! I'm always on the lookout for launches from NOTU Canaveral. Met the Command Master Chief some years ago j/s'ing on Alaska...he was going to get me aboard an observation boat for a launch sometime...that would be cool!! My old Boat got converted from SSBN to SSGN, & carries SEALS & a $h1tload of Tomahawks, as well as other 'goodies' in the Drydeck Shelters & two missile tubes converted to lockout chambers!
