Submarine Decommissioning

by WearsLargeHats

Mar 28, 2018

My Sailor's boat will soon be making its last voyage to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Does anyone have any insight as to what the inactivation and decommissioning process is like for sailors, both in terms of workload and timeline, and their career and advancement?

    My son's sub is currently being decommissioned.  It is the USS San Francisco and the nuclear reactor will be the new training reactor in Charleston so he replied to my question/your question this way;

    What we are doing is different
    But it should be hard to begin with
    And about a year in it will get pretty darn easy
    It would obviously be better for his career to transfer to an operational boat
