A lot of planning went into subball and overall it was okay. We need to try and bring the cost down next year, but like I said, there is only one hotel with a room big enough for everyone. It was like any other big gathering. There was food and dancing and so forth. There is a center piece competition between the units that attend, so that's what the third picture is, it's one of the center pieces. It won second place as you can see by the wooden trophy on it. There was a nice ceremony to kick off the event. The speech was okay, it wasn't great. We paid a lot of money to fly the speaker out here and I was expecting a little more. The coolest part was the tolling of the bells. They go through all the submarines lost at sea and a bell is tolled as the name of each submarine and the number of sailors lost is read. That was probably my favorite part.
