STILL ON PATROL

STILL ON PATROL

I learned something new and horrifying today which is… that… no submarine is ever considered “lost” … there is apparently a tradition in the U.S. Navy that no submarine is ever lost. Those that go to sea and do not return are considered to be “still on patrol.”

?????

There is a monument about this along a canal near here its… the worst thing I have ever seen. it says “STILL ON PATROL” in huge letters and then goes on to specify exactly how many WWII submarine ghosts are STILL OUT THERE, ON PATROL (it is almost 2000 WWII submarine ghosts, ftr). Here is the text from it:

“U.S. Navy Submarines paid heavily for their success in WWII. A total of 374 officers and 3131 men are still on board these 52 U.S. submarines still on patrol.”

THANKS A LOT, U.S. NAVY, FOR HAVING THIS TOTALLY NORMAL AND NOT AT ALL HORRIFYING TRADITION, AND TELLING ALL OF US ABOUT IT. THANKS. THANK YOU

anyway now my mother and I cannot stop saying STILL ON PATROL to each other in ominous tones of voice

I love Mark, I love the lore but god it stresses me out sometimes. It’s daunting and overwhelming but it can be so fun. So now whenever I’m thinking of Space and trying to figure it out and freaking myself out about it, Wilf in WMLW comes to mind as he’s comforting Abe

“You’re just too focused on the minutia of it, the details, the who killed who, the who slept with who. It- you’re not focusing on the big picture.”

And

“Listen friend, it was a bit of shock for me too. Life needed a bit of madness but… why should death be any different…? But I think the stress is getting to you a little bit you need to unwind- you- you’re a freshly born faun trying to find your legs in a world that doesn’t make sense. So. Just for tonight. Let’s forget about all the chasing and the killing and the shooty-shooty bang bang ‘god! You’re a murderer’… and just for tonight… why don’t we have a little fun”

So yeah, for all y’all like me that feel pressure to understand every little detail and know what’s going on in the lore, here’s you’re reminder that you can have fun without it, and that’s from the pink mustache bitch himself.
