Hi Jeff.

I was in from 1980 to 1995. I served on the George Bancroft (SSBN-643), James Monroe (SSBN-622), Flasher (SSN-613), and a tour at Comsubpac. All the boats I was on are decommissioned...yes, I feel old too. :*)

We called the escape trunks the same thing, and operated under many of the same restrictions. But then again, there were times shallow water ops were necessary too.

We had our share of "mishaps" also, but as you know, submariners are probably the best damage control people on the planet (and best trained). Those drills 6 days a week really paid off sometimes.
