No response from any submariners yet so there may not be any on this site therefore as an ex-US Navy person I will comment if for no other reason I know what a submarine looks like. I saw one once in Rota, Spain and was close enough so the guard asked me to move on. ^_^ Also I vaguely remember as a kid skylarking using the expression "Pearl Harbor, sneak attack" whereupon you goosed someone.

Many of these expressions have made their way into general military parlance with some obviously making it into more general parlance. I always enjoy these, especially when the explanation of derivation accompanies.

Thanks.

Best regards,

RA1
