At random: Among the 'first' that Electric Boat Division has introduced into American submarines, have been the marine Diesel engine, the perfected use of the storage battery, the combination of battery and internal combustion engine, and the world's first adaptation of nuclear energy to propulsion in the USS NAUTILUS.

Only if you are an ET or Sonar Girl.

Even us damn Radiomen knew you didn't use a crescent wrench as a hammer. You used a dogging wrench.

The catch of the day was the parachute riggers knife. A switch blade. During the seventies, you could put in the FSN for a certain Swadgelock fitting, and one of these appeared in the hands of the RPPO. I did at one time see a TL29 that was also a switchblade. I believe it was converted in the Philippines, as you could get one from our lead Steward in exchange for something he needed. Wish I had kept both of them, but a trade was more lucrative, and I was greedy.
