Do all of the projections coming out of the conning tower cause a lot of turbulence when it's submerged, or do they retract?
They all retract to create a smooth surface.
Before I started working at Electric Boat. I only saw the fast attack subs in movies. My dad was on what they call boomer subs... basically they carried the trident missiles. And it’s been nearly 25 years since I’ve been on one. Comparing memory to the fast attack I’m working on. These seem to have more stuff to cause turbulence as you can see in the picture on wiki. Of course I can’t confirm if there have been changes to it since this picture was taken. But these are like toys compared to the boomer class. Which there is an other boomer class beginning to be built in the coming years. Can’t wait to work on those.
