I got a funny Atomic Submarine story, in fact I have two. #1--MANY years ago one of the first nuclear powered subs came to PORT CANAVERAL. There is a rock jetty going out from the port and I often fished from it. My brother and I were fishing and suddenly I hooked A WHALE. I had a very heavy rod and it bent double. I screamed I GOT A BIG ONE and the line was BURNING off the reel. As I fought to land that MONSTER up POPPED the nuclear powered sub with my hook in its conning tower. haha. I always told everyone, I am the only person in the world that has ever bagged a nuclear powered sub. haha. #2--Years later but still nearly 30 years ago I was fishing outside of Port Everglades in my boat when UP POPPED another nuclear sub headed into port I guess for shore leave. UNBEKNOWNST to me the navy is very protective of its subs and puts a protective net around them once they are berthed and no on is allowed to board without permission. I didnt know that and they hadnt yet opened the hatch. I race over there and TIE MY BOAT up to this sub intending to BOARD when the hatch opens. Needless to say THEY WERE SURPRISED. But did they ever give me HELL. haha. JDN
