Good on ya for getting on board. We got there at about 8:01, and they throw
folks out at 8:00, so all we could do was stand on top. While I can't say I
got into a Russian sub, at least I can say I was "on" one. However, we *did*
get to go on board the USS Dolphin on the other side of the Berkeley. The
last of the diesel-electric submarines, and it holds the record for the
deepest dive of a submarine, although the actual figure is classified for
some reason.

Yeah, I tried that in Las Vegas a few conferences ago, and it just can't be
done, even though it's a straight shot on the map.
