Oh, yeah, that's a good point. My experience is also fairly old, but I vaguely remember picking up enough info during port visits, occasional NYTimes digests (when we had bandwidth to grab them), etc. that I didn't feel really ou

Couple things - they're surfaced in the straight near Brest not because of the reactor, but because it's too shallow to operate. For example, US East-coast submarines have to transit for hours on the surface to get to the dive po

Except TripIt hasn't seemed to have made any advances in their product in 5+ years. (Getting acquired by Concur certainly didn't help that.) It feels like it's 10 years old, and I'd LOVE to find a good competitor.
