The Stupid Shall Be Punished (blog) - "Keeping the blogosphere posted on the goings on of the world of submarines since late 2004... and mocking and belittling general foolishness wherever it may be found. Idaho's first and foremost submarine blog." A great blog and very topical. It is run by "Bubblehead", who is a retired Nuclear Submarine Officer who did multiple Engineer tours (he is also prior Enlisted).

The following websites are a resource center for knowledge and information about asbestos exposure and asbestos related diseases like lung cancer and mesothelioma. Studies suggest that over 1/3 of patients suffering from mesothelioma in this country are veterans of the armed forces. And of those, victims within the United States Navy are the highest number affected. The content designed for veterans is located here:

From one of our site visitors:
I just wanted to say that, as a history teacher, I have been using your page with information on submarines ( http://site.riversdelivers.org/Submarine_Related_Links.html ) for my classes. It's been helpful...thanks for making it!
I thought I'd pass along another page I've been using with my students: http://www.partsgeek.com/mmparts/history_of_the_sub.html
There's lots of resources on there for history of submarines, parts of submarines, and how submarines were used in wars. My kids seemed to like it. It's a fun addition to our history lessons. Perhaps you and your visitors will find it useful as well. Hope I could help!
Sincerely,
Ms. Sarah Hanson
