In my life time, two US submarines have sank, the Thresher and the Scorpion.

I have 2 Navy hats that I do wear. Neither of them are from my time in, both are from my son. One is just a NAVY hat, the other is one of his ship hats.
I wear them because I like them.
And yes, it does take some balls to serve on a sub, especially an SSBN but even an SSN is a shit load scarier than a surface ship. Anything that you can't just jump off of if it's going down is definitely not for me.
Me, I was never on a ship. They don't let people like me on ships ;p They put people like me on little tiny bases where we can spy on Ivan's subs from afar.
