Kay, I'm so glad you aksed about size. The last visit we had with Adam - he is between 6'4" and 6'5". I couldn't believe it was my son! I'm hoping that since he is 24 he is slowing down. Seems like he grew a lot in the last two years.

Okay a lot of you have asked me about the sub that my son will be on...well here is some of the information that I found on his sub. It is called HMAS Farncomb - SSG74
The second of the Collins Class Submarines to enter service in the Royal Australian Navy, HMAS Farncomb's design and operational characteristics have been tailored specifi cally for its defence and surveillance roles.
HMAS Farncomb has evolved from five generations of submarines designed and built by the Swedish Navy. One of the first submarines to be totally designed by computers, HMAS Farncomb boasts a vast range of features. These include a high performance hull form, highly automated controls, low indiscretion rates, high shock resistance, optimal noise suppression, efficient weapons handling and discharge, and an optional air-independent propulsion system.
The characteristics and range of Collins Class submarines have been tailored specifically for its defence and two-ocean surveillance role in the Royal Australian Navy. Designed to be as quiet as advanced technology can achieve, Collins Class submarines have been developed from five generations of submarines designed and built by the Swedish Navy.
One of the first submarines to be totally designed by computers, these submarines boast a vast range of features. They include a high performance hull form, highly automated controls, low indiscretion rates, high shock resistance, efficient weapons handling, and an optional air-independent propulsion system.
The submarine will move silently on electric power supplied by banks of new-technology lead-free batteries. The batteries are charged by three on-board diesel generator sets.
The sophisticated combat system, which gathers its intelligence from its sensors, computes the input and then launches and directs weapons, is an advance on any system currently available.
Each ship has been named after a distinguished former member of the RAN, some of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Based at HMAS Stirling in Western Australia, they are a formidable element in Australia's defence capability. -
