I was hoping to see some good ole Nuke Sub-Surface shit talking. I was not disappointed.

As a Filipino Nuke on the other side of the waterline, yes, the 4 hour watch was 2200-0200. The rest were 5 hour watches. On my carrier, the 2-7 and 7-12 were drill watches and the off going watch was the Casualty Assistance Team. Add all the announcements and whistle blowing, you had the added comfort of jets taking off and landing pretty much 24/7 when in the Gulf. And as a nuke our berthing was above the screws so all the cavitation (we obviously gave 2 shits about noise considering making our presence known was one of the deterrents the US liked to exploit) from maneuvering transients would shake your rack like a decent earthquake, and the arresting cables were above us, so when we were catching planes, there was a controlled crash right above you. Oh yeah, the EDG's exhaust ran right through the MMs berthing (where my bunk was), so everytime the EDG's fired up for drills or observed evolutions, the whole berthing reeked of half burned JP5. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars, would wish on my worst enemy.
