Mark's Submarine Pictures and Links
I served 6 years in the Navy (1982 - 1988). The last 4.5 years aboard Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Submarines. I am very proud to be able to say that I was a Submarine Warfare qualified sailor and entitled to wear the dolphins. The pictures on this page are from my time aboard the USS Mariano G. Vallejo, SSBN 658. An ex-Vallejo sailor has created a wonderful site dedicated to the BEST boat of the "41 For Freedom". I also served a quick (3 month) tour aboard the USS Stonewall Jackson, SSBN 634 just prior to the end of my enlistment.
