Stimson chopped before 2000, rx compartment sealed and in burial pit at Hanford along with most of the rest of decom subs from that era.

RTC Great Lakes summer of 1975. It was so hot the day of graduation that the polish melted off of our shoes. Remember how many coats of polish went on your dress shoes over 9 weeks of boot?

Then onto EW school at Corry Station in P'cola. They did away with EW a few years back and turned the duties over to CTTs.
