Was a nuc on Snook SSN 592 76-79, would have shed a tear but couldnt think of any fond memories except the day I departed her. We used to put a noise maker on her (for skimmers) for playing games when we were the rabbit, the camera looked just it. I can think of many times when the rabbit died. ETCM/SS USN (RET)

I HAD to watch this vid. When I was a kid, 4th grade or so, I got into models. The Skipjack (never forgot that name) was the very first model I ever built. I was into subs and ships, then planes, while my brother was into cars and monsters. I later got into cars big time...(never cared for the monsters, though...) Funny, as I get older, I realize more and more the truth of the saying..."The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys."

I love this video. Was smiling like a kid watching it run in your pond. The Skipjack Class SSN has been my favorite submarine from as far back as I can remember and/or the day I got the old Aurora kit for the first time. I bought many iterations of that kit when I was younger as I ended up destroying them sooner or later in our pool. The DeBoer RC kit seems great. Glad to see I'm not the only one mildly fascinated by submarines.

Video's like this seem to make me very envious of your skills. I tried my hand (make that shaky hand) at building just a basic plastic model. To say I have the skill level of a 10 year old would be overstating my abilities. Just imagine trying to glue two small pieces together with shaky hands. Its kind of like shooting at a moving target while you are moving in a different direction. Parts end up glued where that don't belong! I hide the finished project in the closet. Maybe one day I'll have enough money to commission someone with your skill level to make one for me.

Are you sure its the periscope that lets the air out? My non expert guess is that the mast with the lantern is the periscope. In the old days periscopes were usually circular, much less weight to do a 360 degree then. My guess is that the other mast(=letting air out) is a communication or surveilence mast(or a snorkel mast without the top).
