When is it "normal operations" for family to visit Russian ship in Cuber?!1 (*my* question notMSNBC)

[UTUSN]

*My* family never got an invitation to visit me on my two ships, not in Vietnam nor in Seattle WA.

1. What is this about? I have not heard anything related to this.

Could you please supply a link to the news story or other source of information about some family visiting a Russian ship in Cuba?

3. On the old diesel electric pigboats

we had "Visitors Day" every couple of years back in the '60s. Usually a Sunday. The folks/girlfriends/wives would come to the Groton, CT sub base and we would make a run out to Long Island sound and make a dive to 100 feet, surface and then return to port.

And of course we would serve up a fine meal of chili dogs and other mystery meat concoctions.

Your family probably did not get an invitation because you were on a target surface skimmer and and not a babe magnet like us submariners.

4. Yeah, you had visitors at home, not in Vietnam or Cuba and you aren't Russian. n/t

5. USN does ship visits in both foreign and home ports

Though I think not all vessel types have them.

6. Every US ship I served on in the 70's, 80's, and 90's had dependent day cruises...

where they took dependents out of a day.


I do not know what the Russian Military does.
