One hundred eight years ago, the United States Navy purchased its first submarine, USS Holland. Today is thus the official Submarine Force Birthday. I think the only time I ever wore my miniature medals was when I went to the Submarine Birthday Ball one year at Pearl Harbor.

You haul sixteen torps, and whaddya get?
Another year older and deeper in depth.

Happy birthday!

The Holland gent that sub was named for was a relative of mine from way back when. You can blame him for it all.
