One question.
A genuine one. What drew you to this site, and to make this your first post in a totally new thread? Given how open you've been, I don't think it's too personal a question.

Navigation
Light does not penetrate very far into the ocean, so submarines must navigate through the water virtually blind. However, submarines are equipped with navigational charts and sophisticated navigational equipment. When on the surface, a sophisticated global positioning system (GPS) accurately determines latitude and longitude, but this system cannot work when the submarine is submerged. Underwater, the submarine uses inertial guidance systems (electric, mechanical) that keep track of the ship's motion from a fixed starting point by using gyroscopes. The inertial guidance systems are accurate to 150 hours of operation and must be realigned by other surface-dependent navigational systems (GPS, radio, radar, satellite). With these systems onboard, a submarine can be accurately navigated and be within a hundred feet of its intended course. ![]() Photo courtesy U.S. Department of Defense Sonar station onboard the USS La Jolla nuclear-powered attack submarine To locate a target, a submarine uses active and passive SONAR (sound navigation and ranging). Active sonar emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and return to the ship. By knowing the speed of sound in water and the time for the sound wave to travel to the target and back, the computers can quickly calculate distance between the submarine and the target. Whales, dolphins and bats use the same technique for locating prey (echolocation). Passive sonar involves listening to sounds generated by the target. Sonar systems can also be used to realign inertial navigation systems by identifying known ocean floor features .

this is a platonic sub.

Ok I'm not sure I understand your post, but I'd like to try and answer anyway. As far as I am aware I'm not 'jailbait'. I'm 17 and in the UK (where I am from) this makes me legal. Nevertheless, I did clearly state in my post that I am not looking for a sexual relationship so that seems irrelevant. All I am looking for is someone to help me learn more about the lifestyle. I'm not sure what you find wrong with me refusing to give out nude pictures of myself or about my desire to know more about the lifestyle (i.e. positions)?

OK, maybe the entire cellar could be your dom. That woudl maybe be a first for all of us and the internet.
We'd have to agree on ground rules.

Then you noticed this part as well ...
"15 posts - 12 authors - Last post: Oct 26, 2006" We haven't discussed that in almost 5 YEARS. yep, we are on the cutting edge of the Dom/sub issue.... ![]()
