Talk:USS Thomas A. Edison

Untitled
There was no mention of the notorious "Submarine Steinway" ("Run Silent," indeed.) in this article, so I threw up a quick blurb with a few references. Feel free to clean it up, I know I'm not the best at wiki editing. 72.28.177.52 (talk) 17:41, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Comission
I have the Post Office cache for this subs comission date. Do you think a pic of that would add to the article?Coal town guy (talk) 16:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Home Ports for SSBNs
The first batch of SSBNs, the "Forty One for Freedom", operated out of Holy Loch, Scotland, Rota, Spain, and Apra, Guam, but those were not their home ports. Their home ports were New London, Connecticut, Charleston, South Carolina, and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, respectively. The boats rarely if ever visited their home ports, but their home ports were where their crews operated out of. SSBNs, then as today, have two crews, a Blue Crew and a Gold Crew. While one crew was out on patrol, the other was at their home port, undergoing training.

This article incorrectly states that the USS Thomas A Edison was home ported at Guam, when her actual home port was Pearl Harbor. I understand that the mechanics of the dual crews would require much more discussion in articles such as this one, but the actual home ports and operating bases should be acknowledged and described.
