My nose turned blue on the Minneapolis St Paul SSN-708. It was in 1997 on the way to going on station, doing what Sonarmen do.

I WAS ABOARD THE USS MILWAUKEE (AOR-2) WHEN I BECAME A BLUE NOSE. I WAS ON SHIP FROM SEPT. 1969 TO DEC. 1972.

Nose turned blue in July 1970 on the way to Thule AFB for a 2-week Iceberg Patrol in a VP8 P3A out of Pax River.

got my Blue Nose on a P3-C Update II Orian from VP-5 flying out of Kef Iceland in 1979. Very cool flight! I'm still wondering how they got that hairy- greasy-assed polar bear on the plane. LOL

I got my Blue nose in Late 1979 when I joined a team of Zoomies on a E3A flight above Iceland looking for some bad guys. Scary, probably because we had nothing to fight back with... Nice Crew on the AWACA too...

I crossed the Artic Circle onboard the Spruance in 1988. We were participating in a joint NATO (I think) exercise when we detected a Russian sub. We were broken off from the exercise and followed the sub up north of Norway as she went to her homeport.
