Boomer Encounter

Last week, returning from Port Townsend, I had to wait at the Hood Canal bridge while a span was opened for a boomer submarine from Subase Bangor.

The first photo shows the entire sub; the second photo shows several of the crew on the conning tower (note that one is looking at me with binoculars); the clip shows the sub moving past the bridge.

If you want to see one of the subs, come to Washington State. Once the subs submerge off the coast, they stay submerged.
