funny looking submarines

there's a lot of talk on the net about the new paint job the brits are trying out.

here's one we had on the old seawolf
seaskunk
we called her the seaskunk, because of the white painted topside and stripe on the sail.
we were painted like that to support DSRV training and qualification trials. we were supposed to be one of the "mother subs" for the dsrv program in the early/mid 70's.

we sure took a lot of crap from the other submarines over that paint scheme. "hey nuke, your skipper pepe le'pew?"

here's an original "scruff the dog" image, imortalizing the eventskunk
