Subject: Slide Rule Sighting
On the History Channel's "The Silent Service" about 1 hour and 7 minutes
into the two hour program as discussion of Rickover's call for a new kind of
submarine goes out, a group of ranked engineers is seen (there's an angled
fluorescent lamp high on the screen). The officer on the left (a commander,
I believe) is seen moving a sheaf of papers forward. On the top is his slide
rule. Get prepped when you see a retired vice admiral with a table lamp that
looks like a red buoy on his table.
