Nautilus in the Fog

The USS Nautilus on display at the Submarine Force Library & Museum in Groton, CT.

Every day when I drive to work I get to glance over and see the USS Nautilus on display at the Submarine Force Library and Museum. Sometimes it's glistening in the beautiful sun, and late at night you can just barely see a shadow in the moonlight. This particular morning it happened to be surrounded by fog.

USS California comes home from deployment

Today I had the honor of seeing the USS California come in to port from their six month deployment. Seeing a submarine coming down the Thames River is just not something you see every day (well, unless you live in the Groton area, I guess) and it was definitely a surreal experience.

I was very proud to be there alongside the families of the sailors and welcome them back on to solid ground. =)
