description: Author Don "MUFF" Kamuf takes his readers on a whirlwind tour of his life as a Navy submariner . . . From his experience growing up in the Bronx and going to Catholic schools,Kamuf joins the U.S. Navy and enters submarine school at Groton Connecticut—a decision that determines his course for the rest of his life. He tells of his experiences serving on the USS Bang SS 385, the USS Sea Poacher SS 406, and the USS Abraham Lincoln SSBN 602, which made patrols in the Atlantic Ocean. After leaving the Abraham Lincoln, Kamuf was sent to submarine school to teach others how to "make air." He then served on the USS Dace SSN 607, making many trips around the world. After that, he worked in submarine repair on the USS Fulton AS 11 and as a planner at the Submarine Support Facility in Groton, Connecticut. Retiring from the Navy, Kamuf was hired by General Dynamics Electric Boat as a construction engineer. This lasted almost twenty years until he retired. In the last chapter, Kamuf tells about his struggles as an alcoholic, the pain, and his eventual triumph.
