Ahh, so what did you do on them?  My father was on the America CVN-66 for a long long time.  He was like a controller for ships.  Ploted courses, and tracked movement etc.  He did several tours in the Med and the North Atlantic.  He was over in the Indian Ocean once too.

Got out as a Missile Technician 1st Class.  My job was the care and feeding of the Trident I C-4 FBM missiles that might or might have not been on board.

I can neither confirm or deny.  Suffice to say that we'd put the closure on an empty tube, also.  ::thinking::

Well, full disclosure is boring.

HMMM!  Lets see, is that rounded plastic looking nose cover in place even if the tube is Mike Tango? ::thinking:: ::thinking::

It's either that or you've got a forty foot deep hole in the hull with only an 8 ton muzzle hatch for cover.  Although the acess doors on the tube down below decks are water tight too.  Sea states can be violent enough up in the bay of Alaska to actually move that damn hatch on occasion.  But only a couple of millimeters.
