Re: MBT's
A boat at mooring is kinda like the USN Reserve Sub fleet... there was one at Alameda in the 60's, I think she was decommissioned in '70, the Parche, maybe, I seem to recall her name. Anyway, even those boats, during "weekend cruise" had nothing but drills and drills and drills. There's a drill for every scenario, apart from torpedo, missile, and battle drills, there's emergency, electrical, nuc, ventilation, and all sorts of drills. A lot of work to practice to kill the other guy before he kills you, or to slip silently, quietly, through the dark blue seas. Imagine the drills at sea.
Take the "dope and beer" and be happy.
