Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

depends on how you take it... Many of my best stories, i can only share with people who were there with me...
lets just say, the purpose of a fast attack submarine is to kill other submarines, as well as surface ships.. Also, they are stealth machines read into that what you will....
One story that i can share was when we were going to Hong Kong. We were with a battle group, a carrier and several other surface ships... Well, we were infront of the battle group, and had to surface prior to pulling into HK.. Evidently when we surfaced, some of the people on the bridge of the cruiser we surfaced infront of were not use to a submarine "appearing" infront of them... The word that we heard, was that some people on the bridge of the cruiser was "WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT???"... To which they were told, "that's our submarine"... Evidently many people didn't even know we were part of the battle group....
The cruiser was even out of the same home port as we were, and had moored across the harbor from us many times!! When we were in HK, we moored next to the cursor above, we got electricity from them... The story above was recounted to quite a few of us, so i am going to guess it was true....

Reminds me of one of my favorite Navy jokes/tall tales/urban legends:
---
This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a U.S. naval ship with the Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland October 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations, 10-10-95.
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN,THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: We are a lighthouse, your call.

S'good thing for that lighthouse that it wasn't an Italian ship.
