No really do I know you.
Whoa! If you are serious, that's just the oddest coincidence ever! No, in my attempt to be Mr. Funnypants, I Wikipedia'd "submarines," and randomly selected the Maine off of one of the links. I took the opportunity to learn a little tiny bit about subs, including the fact that there have been a LOT of them built by/ for the U.S. Navy over the years (hundreds... maybe thousands?)... that's what makes it even more remarkable if you really were on the Maine!

I wouldn't know one sub from another. I was military (four years Army!), but I know nothing Naval, except for oranges and that thing at the far end of my beer belly.
